Chapter 1380: Pill Complete
Yang Yan remained silent for a moment, then comforted, "This is enough. In the future, if I have the ability, I will surely protect the Feather Spirit Sect from destruction."
Ling Chongzi put away his forlorn gaze and nodded appreciatively, "It’s good that you have such intent. You are a cultivator of the Wandering Dragon Star, with no local rules binding you, it is easier for you to leave."
"On the contrary, the cultivators of the Vast Sea seem to be naturally cursed and cannot leave easily. When the two blend again, perhaps you and I will meet again."
Just as Yang Yan was about to say something else, Ling Chongzi gave him no chance, disappearing in a flash.
Seeing Ling Chongzi leave, Yang Yan dismissed the idea of continuing to refine the remnants of Immortal Power here and instead took out various materials, skillfully setting up array after array of astonishing power using the abundant spiritual power of this place.
Because there was no need to deplete his own spiritual power, and the spiritual power here was so pure, seemingly inexhaustible, by dusk, Yang Yan had impressively set up eighty-one arrays in one go.
Moreover, on the second day, the third day... for half a month, every time Yang Yan came, he was setting up arrays.
However, from the initial eighty-one arrays, it gradually decreased, until finally, he was only setting up one every three days.
It wasn’t because he was getting lazier, but rather because the structure of the final arrays was complex and immensely powerful, naturally taking much more energy and time.
It was only with the aid of this Spiritual Spring, otherwise, for the final Celestial Spirit Infinite Array, if set up using Yang Yan’s cultivation alone, it would take at least three months.
At this moment, Jian Mingyin was at the final stage of Alchemy.
On the morning of the fifteenth day, Yang Yan as usual went to check on Jian Mingyin.
He found that she was already pale, her spiritual power almost exhausted. With a thought, Yang Yan continuously poured a stream of pure spiritual power into her body.
A hint of relief appeared in Jian Mingyin’s eyes, who originally wore a look of pain, then her brow furrowed slightly, a more refined spiritual power flowed out from her hand, imprinted into the Pill Fire.
Buzz—
The Profound Iron Pill Furnace, reddened by the Pill Fire, trembled violently, as if a force was continuously brewing within, about to explode at any moment.
Whoosh!
A brilliant flash of seven-colored light accompanied the sudden suspension of the Pill Furnace in mid-air.
The next moment, countless rays of identical light shot out from all directions, seeming to pierce everything.
Swoosh!
Within this radiance, the Profound Iron Pill Furnace accelerated suddenly, whistling past the heads of the two, shooting out of the cave dwelling.
The red Pill Furnace was so dazzling that it made the sky lose its luster.
Even under the scorching sun, this light made it appear somewhat dim.
Boom!
With a sudden explosion, the Profound Iron Pill Furnace, capable of withstanding a full-force strike from a Divinity Transformation cultivator, shattered explosively, revealing a golden Pill the size of a pigeon egg.
Golden flames lingered above the Golden Core, quickly absorbing the sunlight illuminating it from a clear sky.
From beneath the earth, endless spiritual power, under an invisible force, continuously converged upon it.
The surrounding flora, bathed in abundant spiritual power, seemed to spring back to life from withered branches...
For a moment, a rich medicinal fragrance spread, filling the entire space.
As Solar Power, spiritual power, and various strange forces rapidly gathered, this fragrance intensified, and the golden radiance it emitted became almost substantive, as if assimilating everything around it.
Upon seeing the formation of the Golden Core, the previously sunny sky over the Feather Spirit Sect suddenly became tumultuous.
Raising his eyes, Yang Yan’s gaze held a trace of astonishment.
He suddenly realized that countless tribulation clouds were gathering rapidly in the gray sky.
This was not the cultivator’s Thunder Tribulation; this was a Pill Tribulation!
Though the Ancient Pill Formula clearly stated that once the Nine Tribulations Divine Pill appeared, a Pill Tribulation would inevitably descend.
Yet, when faced with it, even someone like Yang Yan who had been through the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation couldn’t help but feel awe-struck.
This scene stirred great shock among the Feather Spirit Sect and the surrounding cultivators.
Even Ling Chongzi, who had returned to seclusion, was moved.
Though she had anticipated that with Jian Mingyin’s help, there was a significant chance of successfully refining the Nine Tribulations Divine Pill, she never imagined it would be so soon.
In just half a month, success came!
Yang Yan transmitted to Jian Mingyin, "Sit and recover in peace, I will handle this Pill Lightning."
Although Jian Mingyin was worried, given her current state, she couldn’t withstand this degree of Pill Tribulation, let alone a regular Thunder Tribulation.
Understand that in refining this Nine Tribulations Divine Pill, she had not only depleted her ability but had even resorted to burning her cultivation.
Yet she cleverly concealed this from Yang Yan to prevent him from worrying, and he remained unaware.
Yang Yan, with a calm expression, looked at the sky, seemingly talking to himself, "Merely a Pill Tribulation, nothing worth mentioning! I once even weathered the World-Ending Thunder Tribulation while breaking through to Nascent Soul!"
Of course, he said this for others to hear.
Because just now, no fewer than ten auras had quietly approached.
To obtain the Nine Tribulations Divine Pill, someone must endure the Pill Tribulation.
Otherwise, whoever rashly attempted to seize it would surely incur the wrath of the Pill Tribulation.
If one’s cultivation wasn’t sufficient to withstand it, the consequences could be as severe as great damage to cultivation or complete annihilation.
Rumble——
A seven-colored lightning bolt struck down from the sky, and Yang Yan raised his right hand, immediately causing his inner blood and Qi to roil, as a giant palm formed from blood Qi fiercely collided with the lightning.
Boom!
A violent explosion resounded, and in the shocked eyes of the onlookers, the seven-colored Pill Lightning directly collapsed.
Upon examining the giant palm formed by blood Qi, it was only slightly more illusory, with no real harm done.
Moreover, the giant palm didn’t lose momentum, whistling through the air, charging straight into the tribulation clouds above, causing the heavens and earth to thunder.
Was that it?
Everyone looked at Yang Yan in disbelief.
Though unaware of the true terror of the Nine Tribulations Divine Pill’s Pill Tribulation, many understood the nature of Pill Tribulations.
Even lesser pills would, upon triggering a Pill Tribulation, not likely summon only a single lightning strike.
Moreover, by its name, the Nine Tribulations Divine Pill should summon nine lightning strikes.
Yet now, with only one strike descending, it dissipated into nothingness?
Could it be that a wonder exists to such an extent that even the Heavenly Dao shows leniency?
Yang Yan gave no time for others to react, grabbing firmly in the air the Nine Tribulations Divine Pill, which was about to fall with the disappearance of the tribulation clouds.
At that very moment, something unusual happened, a gust of fierce wind came from behind.
Yang Yan’s lips curled into a cold smile, and with an instant teleportation, he vanished into thin air.
The next moment, a claw tore through his afterimage, abruptly appearing where he had just stood.
Yang Yan had long anticipated someone would lose patience and attempt to seize it, and he wasn’t about to let anyone succeed.
Not only did he vanish, but he also left behind a jade token engraved with an array at the spot he had just occupied.
