Donghua's Rebirth Site
The two leaders of the Eastern and Western sects have been spending a lot of time together recently, even joining forces to deal with Zhu Jiuyin and working together to refine the Immortality Elixir.
The ingredients for the Immortality Medicine Pill Formula from Kunlun Heavenly Court are simple, but the unique skill lies in refining these limited materials into the Immortality Elixir.
Zhang Xuezhou has been imitating elixirs for many years, but he has never been able to refine an elixir of exactly the same quality.
The same Pill Formula can yield different pills depending on the refining process.
The elixir of Immortality Elixir is clearly not a pill that can afford to fail; this kind of alchemy can only succeed and cannot fail.
Let alone the Western Sect, even the Immortal Court wouldn't concoct Immortality Elixir.
"Did he Zhunti for the Immortality Medicine Pill Formula and the secrets of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool for the Jieyin and guidance of the immortals?"
The core secrets of the Western Sect are not so easy to obtain, but things become much simpler if we exchange them for the core secrets of Kunlun.
"Wait, if this batch of Immortality Elixir wasn't made by the Emperor, does the Immortality Elixir we consumed still count?"
After much discussion, the Jade Emperor suddenly realized a very serious problem.
He could believe in Donghua's unfathomable strength, but the Jade Emperor truly dared not believe in Donghua's alchemy skills, much less gamble on the other's character.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, have you cooperated in refining the Immortality Elixir?" the Jade Emperor asked the Empress.
"We assisted him, but he was the one who mainly refined the pills. The two Western Elders were also there at the time. The process seemed to be fine, so there shouldn't have been any problems, right?" the Emperor and Empress asked uncertainly.
"Didn't we use the art of life-extending techniques to research elixirs that could extend lifespan by five hundred years?" said Lady Bixia. "The Immortality Elixir should still be effective in extending lifespan!"
"There's nothing wrong with extending lifespan, but there might be other hidden problems," the Jade Emperor frowned. "You all had better have a thorough check-up to see if there are any hidden manipulation techniques within your bodies!"
"If there's something wrong with the pills, wouldn't we all be wiped out?"
Kunlun distributed the Immortality Elixir they had refined, with many high-ranking members taking it first, while those in the middle and lower ranks were rewarded based on their merits.
The Jade Emperor's speculation made everyone feel uneasy and determined that they needed to find out the result as soon as possible.
After repeated investigations, the blame ultimately fell on the Western Sect leaders.
However, compared to seeking justice from the Western Sect and rescuing the imprisoned immortals, the current objective has expanded to include the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, and capturing Donghua is also required.
"The Eight Treasures Merit Pool? Just a nurturing and reincarnation pool where the essence of heaven and earth of a world is born?"
Zhang Xuezhou once discussed the cold spring behind the wind cave with Donghua.
Zhang Xuezhou's physical body was rejuvenated in the Cold Spring, while Donghua's soul was also rejuvenated under the influence of the Cold Spring.
Zhang Xuezhou undoubtedly escaped death thanks to Donghua, but this youthfulness also made Donghua extremely ruthless, no longer employing the old-fashioned and sluggish tactics of the past, which even led to a battle between him and Donghua in the Sinkhole No. 2.
He recalled Donghua's evaluation of the Cold Spring, and pondered the Eight Treasures Merit Pool outside the Cold Spring, feeling that the combination of the two might be the only complete whole.
This might truly create new individuals, just like the embryo nurturing device of Torcorando, and could even infuse them with some of their original cultivation.
Ordinary treasures cannot meet this requirement, but 'Heaven and Earth Essence' may be different.
Zhang Xuezhou didn't know how powerful the 'spiritual essence of heaven and earth' that Donghua mentioned was, but he remembered Donghua's nonchalant tone at the time.
Generally speaking, the more you try to hide something, the less you care; the more important something is, the more you tend to downplay it. This is an unavoidable mentality for those who keep secrets, and Donghua is no exception.
As the numerous cultivators continued their exchange, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the likelihood of the matter was constantly increasing.
If the Immortal Court and Kunlun were to launch attacks on Lingshan, Donghua's chances would indeed be very high.
This might be one of the reasons why Donghua swiftly and decisively silenced Zhang Xuezhou upon seeing him; after all, without his presence, it would be very difficult for the great cultivators to search this place and make a judgment.
"This guy was too swift and decisive. He didn't even exchange a few words with me to reveal any information; he went straight for the trap and the killing move!"
Zhang Xuezhou took a deep breath. Even with his profound luck, this was his fate. Ordinary cultivators simply couldn't fight against Donghua; they would be killed instantly.
The Immortality Elixir of immortality that extends lifespan by five hundred years could very well become a means of control for the other side. If there are any hidden dangers associated with the Immortality Elixir, the situation would undoubtedly be very bad, as it would be impossible for figures like the Jade Emperor to extract the Immortality Elixir they had digested and absorbed.
"His Majesty the Jade Emperor seems to know something about this. Could you tell me something?"
"I don't know either, it's just some vague guesses. Fellow Daoists, please use your abilities to cooperate and try to get to the bottom of everything. Then everything will become clear!"
"When did the Three Realms come to have someone with such formidable abilities? Could it be that something from beyond the heavens was let in?"
"Celestial Venerable, you have frequented the Purple Cloud Palace for many years; you should know some things!"
"I truly had no idea. I recently bestowed the Jade Ruyi upon Shuo Xian, and now I can't even enter the Zixiao Palace!"
"The Beihai Eye was blown up into a chaotic sea of stars. Is this related to that massive explosion?"
Zhang Xuezhou pondered the matter, and the others discussed their own ideas. Ultimately, they decided to seek entry into Mount Ling.
Even the strongest man can't fight against many opponents. When the leader of the Zhunti Sect and the Zhunti Divine Lord Zhenyuan were fighting, they would have trouble dealing with the disturbances caused by the Duty Officer. When the great cultivators went to the Western Sect, they would inevitably have to muster their troops and generals before daring to set off for the Western Sect.
It took the group several days to travel from the South Heavenly Gate to the Snow Mountain. It was common for other great cultivators to arrive in ten days or half a month, and it would not be surprising if it took even longer. However, crossing the Snow Mountain to reach the Western Sect was still thousands of miles away.
The distance to the Western Sect is too great, and the lack of a place to catch one's breath is an even greater disadvantage.
"This Western Heavenly Gate must be repaired, or even rebuilt directly on Mount Ling, otherwise we will be in a dilemma and easily defeated one by one by the two Western Elders," said the Jade Emperor.
"The Heavenly Gates used to be set up by Laojun," said Yuanshi Tianzun. "He certainly doesn't have the ability now, so our setup is probably far from excellent!"
"Just use it temporarily to get everyone together!"
The Jade Emperor responded helplessly, saying that if it weren't for the problem with Laojun in the Immortal Court, the Western Heavenly Gate Shuttle Array would never have been set up by the Emperor alone in Western Kunlun.
Everyone has their own area of expertise, but they only have a general understanding of secret realms and teleportation arrays, and they are somewhat worried about making mistakes that could trap them in secret realm teleportation arrays.
Doing this kind of thing is like Donghua refining the Immortality Elixir; nobody is sure of the outcome.
But things still needed to be done. The Emperor and Empress wanted a result, while the Jade Emperor and others were wary of the Immortality Elixir and needed to rescue the immortals who had been forcibly suppressed by the Western Sect.
"Shuo Xian, your physical cultivation is quite good. Come with us to set up the teleportation array!"
As the Jade Emperor greeted everyone and rode in his dragon chariot toward the Kunlun Secret Land, he saw Zhang Xuezhou riding the Sky Shuttle toward the west. This prompted him to quickly stand up from the dragon chariot and wave to him.
"I have something to do," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"You've got the Investiture of the Gods on your back, what else could you possibly do?"
The Jade Emperor waved to Zhang Xuezhou repeatedly. It was beneath him, someone of his level, to do hard labor. The Jade Emperor was eager to find a powerful cultivator to assist him.
"No, no, I really have something to do. Nezha was killed by the leader of the Zhunti. Yang Jian and I want to collect Nezha's remains to see if we can bring Nezha back," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"No one survived under the Seven Treasures Tree of Zhunti," the Jade Emperor said. "Not to mention that Nezha's soul is old and incomplete, the spirit silk and jade lotus root that forged Nezha's body are gone, and True Person is also dead. There's no way to save Nezha after he was killed!"
"Nezha and I are like brothers. I can't bear to see him die. I have to try my best!"
"You and Nezha are like brothers?"
Zhang Xuezhou clearly had no desire to get involved in building the Western Heavenly Gate Shuttle Array, and even wanted to distance himself from the immortals.
Nezha is not close to his family; he is only as close as Jinxia Yuanjun in this life, and there is absolutely no way he could be as close as Zhang Xuezhou.
The Jade Emperor was about to mention his willingness to offer benefits, but Zhang Xuezhou's defense left him speechless.
Even if the Jade Emperor knew Zhang Xuezhou was talking nonsense, he wouldn't stop Zhang Xuezhou from saving Nezha.
After cursing inwardly a few times, the Jade Emperor waved his hand dismissively, indicating that Zhang Xuezhou could go wherever he wanted.
