Chapter 706 - 379: Advancement to Sequence Five, [Grass Pill Master]
Whiz!
Whiz!
Whiz...
Five Ancient Immortals rushed to the mountain peak, dashing into the mist and surrounding the Alchemy Furnace in the center of the fog!
This is a very beautiful Alchemy Furnace, jade green, with three legs and two ears, nine apertures and nine holes, its entire body smooth and rounded!
They had all seen this Alchemy Furnace before, but none dared to covet it.
Because on the furnace’s inner wall, there were thicker markings left by the Taotie using its saliva!
At this moment, they craned their necks to look inside the furnace.
Seeing the furnace filled to the brim with a medicinal potion.
And to their astonishment, the Taotie markings soaked in this potion were dissolving rapidly, turning into faint wisps of yellow and dispersing into the potion!
The five Fallen Immortals were stunned.
They never thought that such a potion existed in this world, capable of dissolving the marks left by the Taotie!
"Is this an illusion?"
"Could it be this easy?"
"This Taotie was left by the Yincao Emperor in the past, and the Taotie’s saliva is the handiwork of the Emperor himself.
"Can this potion... possibly counter the Emperor?"
In a daze, they recalled an old saying... Only another Emperor can counter an Emperor!
But today, this mysterious figure in Douluo Heaven could not possibly be an Emperor!
The logic was simple, what would a true Emperor hide for?
The few Fallen Immortals were muddled, yet at this moment, they no longer wished to ponder all this nonsense!
"Whose will this soon-to-be dissolved Alchemy Furnace belong to?"
"Of course, it’s mine!"
"Of course, it’s mine!"
"Of course, it’s mine!"
...
Several Fallen Immortals spoke in unison!
Their eyes were red, faces contorted, as they looked at each other!
Behind them, several Knowledge Containers emerged out of thin air!
Some were stone pots, stone tripods, and others were Bronze Shy Tripods, Bronze Ascension Tripods!
For a moment, the mountaintop had one Alchemy Furnace, five Ancient Immortals, dozens of containers, quite a lively scene!
The weakest in cultivation, Ma Liu Immortal, the weakest contender, instead, was the first to regain composure.
"No, wait!
"Everyone calm down!
"Don’t let greed cloud your mind!
"Who poured this potion into the furnace?
"Where are they now?
"Why would they gift us this?
The five Fallen Immortals’ expressions froze.
...
Beneath the Yin Grass Furnace, a Bronze Taotie lay hidden in the mist, eyes wide, gazing afar!
Its face was fierce, its anger intense!
It had sensed someone was sabotaging the Jade Kui Dragon Burner’s markings!
Could it be the person with the Pot?
That one Alchemy Furnace, even in this Douluo Heaven, was exceedingly precious, and it was reluctant to part with it!
But this Yin Grass Furnace... ah... it seemed the Yin Grass Furnace didn’t need its guarding?
In a daze, it recalled the former Yincao Emperor.
In past years, the Emperor controlled the Dan Kingdom, created the Douluo Altar, communicated with Douluo Heaven, rewriting the ascension ceremony, paving the way for countless future Immortals!
The Emperor gathered rare treasures from all around, forging this unprecedented massive Yin Grass Furnace, placing it in Douluo Heaven, allowing it to be nurtured by Douluo Heaven’s dew and rain!
When the Yin Grass Furnace was satiated with rainwater, after it was formed, the Emperor once planned to come to Douluo Heaven to take away this furnace.
But!
Even the Emperor’s six Pots couldn’t lift this Yin Grass Furnace!
This Yin Grass Furnace was forged so heavily, its Dao essence too weighty, already beyond measure.
Thus, it glanced up at the enormous Yin Grass Furnace obstructing its sight.
"Sss ah..."
This Yin Grass Furnace, even with six Pots, couldn’t be taken away, requiring no guarding!
It stood up, gazing into the distance, in the direction of the Jade Kui Dragon Burner!
"Sss oh..."
Stealing the Alchemy Furnace, you are proud and lofty!
Provoking the Taotie, your life and death uncertain!
Swoosh!
It transformed into a streak of light, flying into the distance!
...
Five Fallen Immortals, five hands, firmly gripped the Jade Kui Dragon Burner’s rim!
Their eyes filled with bloodshot lines, their cheeks contorted in a grimace!
"As long as we haven’t sensed the Taotie, we needn’t flee!"
"The markings are about to completely dissolve, almost there!"
Behind them, each Knowledge Container gently quivered, poised to ascend, ready to lift the Jade Kui Dragon Burner at any moment!
"When the Taotie arrives, our connection with the altar will be severed."
"Everyone be cautious and alert!"
Before Ma Liu Immortal finished speaking, a splashing sound of water was heard.
A thick liquid descended from the sky, drenching his head and face.
"Ptooey!"
He spat out the foul-smelling liquid from his lips.
The other Fallen Immortals also began either spitting it out or wiping their faces.
Suddenly, they realized something was amiss!
Clang! Clang! Thud! Thud...
A sound emerged; behind them, the Knowledge Containers, touching the thick, odorous liquid, lost control, no longer hovering, plummeting down, tumbling down the small hill of the Alchemy Furnace and rolling downward.
Their expressions froze; they saw the liquid they wiped from their faces, that deep yellow, unmistakably the Taotie’s drool!
They looked up and saw that at some point, a Bronze Taotie had appeared at the rim of the Jade Kui Dragon Burner, staring at them with a fierce grin!
Five Fallen Immortals, one Taotie, all sensed something was off!
But in the blink of an eye, they couldn’t spare a thought.
The filthy Black Fire in the right hand of the five Fallen Immortals flared up instantly, shooting up a huge flame, licking towards the Taotie!
The Taotie sneered, its two eyes, one bursting forth with filthy fire, the other exploding with a beam of knowledge’s blue light!
...
Boom!
A great noise resonated from afar.
A scorching wind blew upon the Immortal Grass Furnace, and on the Fire Cloud beside the furnace’s rim, where Bai Mo stood.
Bai Mo looked up, seeing the mist in Douluo Heaven churning like an angry sea’s waves!
In the sky above the distant Jade Kui Dragon Burner, appeared a ghastly ghost face formed of black flames, as if laughing wildly!
"Hahahahaha, hahahahaha!"
The wild laughter came with the wind!
That ghost face already twisted, filthy, chaotic, just looking at it drove one crazy, wanting to tear their own face apart!
