Chapter 411: Chapter 123: The Second Trump Card! Tiandan Appears!

Changchun Sect.

True Man Changchun looked at the Blood-eye Old Devil, who had fully exposed his cultivation, and couldn’t help but feel shaken in his heart.

At this moment, True Man Changchun’s face looked somewhat grim.

"In just a few short years, you’ve already taken this step..."

Nascent Soul Perfection is synonymous with invincibility in Qing State.

True Monarch of Divinity Transformation does not descend to the mortal world and cannot intervene in human affairs.

But if the True Monarch of Divinity Transformation does not appear, who can withstand Nascent Soul Perfection?

The Blood-eye Old Devil, having fully released his cultivation, had a trace of pride in his eyes.

He laughed aloud and said:

"Haha, my Nether Realm was born in response to Qing State’s destiny!"

"I am the Lord of the Nether Realm, and my cultivation naturally progresses rapidly! When the Nether Realm unifies Qing State, it will be the time I step into the Divinity Transformation period!"

"And now, your Changchun Sect is merely a small stumbling block on my path to unify Qing State..."

The words of the Blood-eye Old Devil were full of elation.

With a wave of his hand, an even more terrifying Netherworld Ghost Fire surged forth.

In just an instant, it suppressed the Wood Wall Technique, supported by the Burning Wood Heaven-Caging Array and Torrential Celestial Water Array.

No matter how strong the array was, no matter how deep True Man Changchun’s foundation was, even with the advantage of the terrain—

Under absolute cultivation suppression, there was no possibility of winning.

Seeing the imminent destruction of the Wood Wall Technique and the endangered great array of Changchun Sect, True Man Changchun felt no fear.

"Nonsense of the Demon Path! Nonsense of Qing State’s destiny!"

True Man Changchun couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger.

"If the rise of the Demon Path is the world’s destiny, then today, I... will oppose this heaven!"

As True Man Changchun’s words fell, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from above.

It was like a thunderclap, a sign of the Spirit Realm’s dissatisfaction with True Man Changchun’s words.

But True Man Changchun remained utterly unafraid, looking up at the sky, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Ridiculous! Do you really think that you represent the heavens?"

With that said, True Man Changchun called out loudly:

"Taoist Friend Tiandan, it’s time to act!"

As True Man Changchun’s words fell—

A golden, smooth pill instantly appeared around True Man Changchun.

Nine pill patterns were revealed on the surface of this Golden Core, and as soon as it appeared, celestial phenomena descended.

In an instant, at the peak of Changchun Mountain, hundreds of flowers bloomed, and trees grew wildly.

A rainbow hung in the sky, falling like a celestial bridge.

The fragrance of the pill permeated ten miles around.

The moment this Golden Core appeared, everyone, including the Blood-eye Old Devil, Zheng Tianhe, and True Man Wenshu, couldn’t help but swallow.

"An Immortal Pill, this is an Immortal Pill!"

"Eat it, eating it can make one live forever!"

For a moment, endless desire overwhelmed the hearts of Zheng Tianhe and others.

The Blood-eye Old Devil was briefly lost in that moment, but he quickly bit his tongue to break free from this infinite desire.

Seeing the two Nascent Soul True Men next to him still in a daze, the Blood-eye Old Devil softly shouted:

"Awaken!"

With a soft shout, Zheng Tianhe and True Man Wenshu woke up one after another, still feeling lingering fear.

Staring at the pill hovering beside True Man Changchun, Zheng Tianhe couldn’t help but swallow.

"This, is this really the Celestial Pill?"

"How could a pill of this caliber appear in the Human Realm?"

He still found it hard to believe, even with his status and knowledge, he had only ever heard tales of such a pill.

This Celestial Pill, although it couldn’t truly grant immortality and ascension,

If taken by a Nascent Soul Cultivator, it could elevate one level without question!

Zheng Tianhe couldn’t suppress a bit of desire rising within him.

If he were to truly obtain this pill, using its Pill Qi to cultivate... he might be able to glimpse the Divinity Transformation Realm!

"Haha, Heaven aids me! With this pill, I will surely ascend to the Spirit Realm," Zheng Tianhe thought to himself.

Beside him, True Man Wenshu, though not as impetuous as Zheng Tianhe,

True Man Wenshu, as deputy head of Wenlu Academy, had studied diligently for hundreds of years.

Although there was greed, he could suppress it with Literary Qi.

At this moment, True Man Wenshu also felt a sigh in his heart, his gaze full of surprise as he said:

"This... was once True Man Tiandan?"

"Wasn’t he dead? Could it be..."

True Man Wenshu thought of a possibility and muttered:

"The legend says that True Man Tiandan’s cultivation technique was extremely unique, called the Great Grade Celestial Pill Technique..."

"This cultivation technique allows one to live a second life, but it requires finding a Supreme Pill, using one’s heart’s blood and Divine Soul to refine day and night..."

"Ultimately, man and pill become one, although no longer human, some awareness from their previous life can linger between heaven and earth."

"Could it be, that this legend is true?"

True Man Wenshu couldn’t help but feel a tremor in his heart.

The pill before them was not, strictly speaking, human or a cultivator.

It was merely a pill, yet it retained the consciousness and spiritual essence of True Man Tiandan from when he was alive.

It still possessed the strength of a Nascent Soul True Man, perhaps even more so!

But if...

If that thread of consciousness and spirituality is extinguished, this pill would be thoroughly refined, becoming an irresistible temptation to any cultivator!

Meanwhile, the Tiandan was continuously changing.

It transformed into an illusory Nascent Soul, standing before True Man Changchun.

He nodded towards True Man Changchun and softly said, "Taoist Friend, I hope you are well."

True Man Changchun nodded in response.

Subsequently, the Tiandan gazed at the three Nascent Soul True Men in the distance, gaining a general understanding of the current situation.

"Blood Pupil Old Demon... Is the Demon Path destined to rise?"

"Heh, who would have thought even Celestial Harmony Zhenren and True Man Wenshu have joined the Demon Path."

The Tiandan Nascent Soul, unfeeling, merely said as was fitting:

"It seems today is the time for this old man’s final struggle!"

Hearing this, True Man Changchun couldn’t help but feel compassion in his heart.

He sighed lightly and said, "Taoist Friend, your high moral character is far beyond me."

Upon hearing this, the Tiandan Nascent Soul’s lips faintly curled into a smile, replying:

"Taoist Friend Changchun, why say this? To vanquish demons and uphold the Dao has always been the duty of us cultivators!"

"And... It is also the grand vow we all once made, isn’t it?"

True Man Changchun was silent after hearing this.

Indeed!

Vanquishing demons and upholding the Dao, these brief words contain infinite meaning.

A hundred years ago, recalling how True Man Tiandan was injured in the war, feeling his life force dwindling.

He left behind a glimmer of hope!

He transformed himself into a pill, using the Great Grade Celestial Pill Technique as a foundation, forging this Tiandan!

Spending ten years, yet depleting the last century of his life force.

Finally, it became this Tiandan!

Though a Tiandan, it possesses the power of a Nascent Soul!

Even without a flesh body, with the support of Pill Qi, the Tiandan Nascent Soul is now stronger than when alive!

Its combat strength rivals that of the late Nascent Soul period!

But, like fireworks, it is brilliant only for a moment. Once the Tiandan is awakened, its power will gradually dissipate, and its end will come!

...

Blood Pupil Old Demon looked at the Tiandan Nascent Soul beside True Man Changchun, and there wasn’t a trace of greed in his eyes.

He was a Ghost Cultivator, cultivating the Netherworld Ghost Qi.

Unlike ordinary True Essence, even if he consumed this Tiandan, it would be of little use to him!

Moreover... It is not his path.

With Blood Pupil Old Demon’s current status, he has already found his own path to Divinity Transformation!

He glanced at the two Nascent Soul True Men beside him and coldly snorted:

"A mere Tiandan, and you’re so frightened?"

"Heh... Even if there’s another Nascent Soul combatant, so what?"

"Time... is on our side!"

Blood Pupil Old Demon’s words immediately enlightened the two Nascent Soul True Men.

Indeed!

Time is on their side!

Now, the Changchun Sect, like a trapped beast, though struggling, its defeat is certain!

Because behind Blood Pupil Old Demon, an army of thirty thousand Demon Cultivators is rushing over.

Hundreds of Golden Core Cultivators and several Nascent Soul True Men are on their way.

In just half a day at most, the army will reach the Changchun Sect!

Then, with the might of a gathered Demon Sect army, how could the Changchun Sect’s great array possibly resist?

"The Ancestor is right, so... now we just need to block the Changchun Sect’s cultivators, not letting them escape!"

Zheng Tianhe licked his lips, yet as he spoke, his eyes never left the Tiandan.

As long as he obtained this pill, why would he need to continue enduring humiliation within the Demon Sect?

He joined the Demon Sect, only seeking a chance to advance to Divinity Transformation!

And obtaining this Tiandan... would be the best opportunity for Divinity Transformation!

"Hmm, words are useless! Just trap these cultivators from the Changchun Sect!"

Blood Pupil Old Demon saw through Zheng Tianhe’s thoughts completely, yet did not expose him.

The Tiandan appeared, and True Man Changchun sighed, saying:

"Taoist Friend, time is not on our side..."

"Then, let’s see how far we can struggle!"
