Taboos of the Dao of Alchemy, refining treasures from living bodies

At River Pillow Peak, in front of the Mountain God Temple of Lord Yanyao.

Huodou leaped and frolicked at Gouchen's feet, while Sleepy Bug lingered all around.

Just by watching this scene, Lord Yanyao could see the deep affection between them.

"I never imagined you would actually go to Panhu to beg for 'dragon dog blood' to cleanse its marrow..."

Panhu is a dog god from the same era as Dao Ancestor, and is also recognized as one of the strongest guardian deities of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

It is said that Panhu commands ten dragons and eight dogs, each a Heavenly Deity being, specifically responsible for guarding the western region of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range. Although Panhu has not made a move for a long time, everyone believes that he must have become a Great Heavenly Deity.

"Although Laicai is a mixed-breed Huodou, he is ultimately just a wild beast."

"In the absence of cultivation, using the 'blood of the dragon dog' to transform it is the best way for it to advance."

Gently stroking Huodou's head, Gouchen's voice was unusually gentle.

This Huodou was a gift from his parents as a coming-of-age present, and it had accompanied him through so many things. The bond between them had long since transcended the ordinary master-pet relationship.

If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't get Peach of Immortality, Gouchen would have even considered feeding him the Peach of Immortality as well.

After all, the Peach of Immortality of immortality are recognized as an elixir of life. Even if they can't help Huodou embark on the path of cultivation, they can at least keep it by his side forever. "Laicai? Your naming style is quite Mountain Folk."

Lord Yanyao glanced at Huodou with a slightly strange expression, thinking that if the other party had really gained sentience, the first thing it would probably do would be change its name.

"I'm Mountain Folk, so what's wrong with naming my child in a Mountain Folk way?"

Gouchen chuckled as he answered, but his mind was gradually drifting away from Huodou.

Seemingly sensing its master's distraction, the previously noisy Huodou gradually quieted down.

"Mountain God, let's get back to the topic of those Star Gods!"

"With your abilities, you should have already figured out which Star Gods is targeting ' Gouchen Heavenly Palace '!"

Although it was a question, Gouchen's tone sounded unusually certain.

In the present-day Hundred Lands Mountain Range, although Lord Yanyao is not the only being who has cultivated the [Foreknowledge of the Future] Divine Ability power, he is the only deity who has used it to a superb level.

At least in Gouchen's opinion, apart from his own principal who possessed the [Knowledge of Past Lives], no one could compare to Lord Yanyao in this regard.

That's none of your business.

After a brief silence, Lord Yanyao ultimately did not change the subject this time.

"Gouchen Heavenly Palace is protected by Lu Huaijin, Yinglong, and hundreds of other deities..."

The mass casualties you're worried about are simply not going to happen.

Without Gouchen any rebuttal, Lord Yanyao, abandoning his previous laziness, stared intently into the other's eyes and spoke with great seriousness.

"Besides, the Star Gods who's making his move right now is just a pawn."

"The true force behind the scenes is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine; it's simply beyond your ability to handle."

When he said these words, Lord Yanyao already had a hint of warning in his tone.

"How can you know if you don't try?"

Before he finished speaking, a faint halo appeared behind Gouchen.

Beyond that halo lies endless, dazzling starlight and the night sky that stretches to the horizon.

Mystic Garden Gate!?

This time, Lord Yanyao was truly stunned.

He never imagined that Gouchen had been trying to replicate the [Mystic Garden Gate] these past few days.

"No, this is not the Mystic Garden Gate."

Gouchen decisively shook his head, denying Lord Yanyao's words, and looked back at the halo behind him with a smile.

"The Mystic Garden Gate is a stable passage that connects the two ends of the ' Mystic Garden Barrier ' by harnessing the power of the Earth Veins."

"And the channel I created is a one-time use item, and its positioning isn't precise..."

Before Gouchen could finish speaking, Lord Yanyao had already revealed the true nature of the golden halo.

"It's the Heaven and Earth Ring..."

"What you created wasn't the Mystic Garden Gate at all, but the real Heaven and Earth Ring."

At this point, Lord Yanyao's expression suddenly changed slightly, and his tone unconsciously became lower.

"The Heaven and Earth Talisman Incantation contains the power of Qiankun, and is infinitely variable. What did you use to contain this power?"

Before Gouchen could answer Yan Lord Yanyao's question, a faint light of lightning had already begun to emanate from his body.

"Who else but me?"

With a soft sigh, Fenglong appeared from behind Gouchen.

It still retained the same upper body as a human, but the lower body was that of wind and thunder.

Unlike before, this time Fenglong's body surface was covered with fine and complex Talisman Seal Script.

That was the complete [Heaven and Earth Talisman Incantation], a high-dimensional script that reverses the principles of Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang.

These words themselves have no power; they merely explain the great principles and truths governing the universe.

However, when combined with specific materials and Yuan Qi, these higher-dimensional characters can, like mathematical formulas, imbue matter with unimaginable power. "Fenglong! Do you know what you're doing!?"

With a furrowed brow, Lord Yanyao stared at Fenglong, revealing an expression of anger for the first time.

"Don't blame everything on me; this really has nothing to do with me."

With his hands shrugged, Fenglong retorted with an expression of indifference.

"In the end, I'm now that kid Gouchen's 'prisoner'..."

"What he wants to do, can I forcibly stop him?"

Hearing Fenglong's sophistry, Lord Yanyao took a deep breath and scoffed.

"No one can force you to do something you don't want to do."

"While Talisman Incantation contain the truths of the universe's workings, they are also a double-edged sword."

"If you're unwilling to cooperate, how could this brat possibly forcibly Heaven and Earth Talisman Incantation onto your body?"

"You have now violated the taboos of Dao of Alchemy; you are now engaging in true ' Human Body Treasure Refining '!"

Forcibly inscribing a complete Talisman Incantation onto a living body, and this was done by a deity of Fenglong's caliber.

Putting aside the risks involved, this approach alone is absolutely unacceptable to anyone.

This is tantamount to treating life as heavenly materials and earthly treasures, using it to refine elixirs and forge weapons; once that door is opened, it is very difficult to close it again.

Moreover, what Gouchen and Fenglong are doing now is like a three-year-old child playing with a giant hammer weighing a thousand pounds. If they are not careful, they will be the first to suffer.

"You can't even convince that brat Gouchen, do you think you can convince me?"

Too lazy to bother with Lord Yanyao anymore, Fenglong's Talisman Incantation shone brightly at this moment, illuminating almost half of the sky.

"You two..."

His pupils constricted sharply, and it was too late for Lord Yanyao to reach out and stop him.

Gouchen turned around and stepped into the still unstable circle of light, with Fenglong following closely behind.

Finally, even the Huodou and the Sleepy Bug leaped into the air, unhesitatingly following their master into that unfamiliar starry sky. (Monthly vote/Female C recommendation vote)
