All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes-Chapter 966 - 244: The Merit of Preaching (4200)_2

For this, some big companies have even offered a high price of over a hundred thousand Good Deeds, just to obtain some fragments of An Xuan’s flesh and blood for further research.

This shouldn’t be the case.

No matter how anxious they are, the big companies would never so simply and directly target a genius, because behind every genius there is certainly a great force supporting them.

Demanding thorough explanations on how strong he is, relentlessly probing the secrets of the other party’s bloodline, most of the time they would get nothing, merely making an enemy in vain.

Moreover, An Jing is backed by groups within Xuanye City headed by Third Middle School, they’re all one family, there is really no need to rip each other apart this way.

Yet in the face of such rather excessive ’silence’ and ’probing’, even people including the official side of Third Middle School turned a blind eye. freёnovelkiss.com

Nian Quan knew they were waiting.

Waiting for the real power behind An Jing to make a move and prove its existence.

It’s undeniable that An Xuan is indeed a descendant from a wilderness force, but this force has never shown its strength directly.

The people in Xuanye City don’t consider this force nonexistent, because the qualities An Xuan has exhibited and the cultivation techniques he practiced, without exception, are all only possessed by Daoist Disciples who are fully nurtured by great forces—yet even when Cave Heaven takes action, they can’t find even a trace of this force.

In this situation, there are only two possibilities.

First: This force does exist, but it is extremely weak, on the verge of destruction for various reasons, and An Jing is the last heir, venturing far away to seek a chance to survive.

Second: This force is not in the Tianyuan Realm at all, but is like Ancient Immortal Ruins... an Otherworld Cave Heaven that accidentally came into contact with the Tianyuan Realm due to the rotations of the Great Void.

The former requires no further words; if An Jing’s background is really not that significant, then what the large forces on the side of Xuanye City have to do next would naturally follow the process of ’invite, behead, accept as a servant’, using various means, both soft and hard, to completely wear down all of An Jing’s edges and peculiarities, making him a part of their system.

While the latter is much more complicated... Currently, the probing by various forces is precisely in testing the limits of ’An Xuan’ and the forces behind him, to find a channel they can approach.

Huo Qing and Nian Quan, as An Jing’s companions, naturally became one of the ’boundaries’.

They are actually also on the bounty list, but given their strength, dealing with ordinary bounty hunters is quite easy, and stronger bounty hunters rarely go crazy to bother with these two youngsters, so up to now, both Huo Qing and Nian Quan have already solved several waves of bounty hunters and investigators without encountering any real danger.

But this is only temporary. Over time, as plans for the ’missing An Xuan’ repeatedly fail, the disappointed major forces will certainly not mind paying a sum of resources, which are just numbers to them, to let Huo Qing and Nian Quan also enjoy some top-level treatment.

"I wonder when An Jing will be back,"

Washing off the smell of blood, Huo Qing came to the door of the Alchemy Room, where fresh white mist seeped through the door crack. Taking a breath, he felt refreshed, a sign that elixirs were rapidly forming. He opened the door and said, "Nian Quan, you refine pills and cultivate by consuming them every day, isn’t that a bit too much? Refining several furnaces of elixirs every day and consuming them while cultivating; can your body handle it?"

"If you can’t handle the hardships of alchemical elixirs, you’ll soon have to face the hardships of life."

Picking up the Jade Box, Nian Quan packed up the elixirs from the Pill Furnace, taking one himself, and casually said, "I have related Pupil Skills that can remove most of the pill toxins from the elixirs, and can also decompose the harmful substances within them, allowing me to consume far more elixirs than an average person."

"Given this talent and craft, plus the Spiritual Materials provided by An Jing, the cost of my alchemy can almost be considered negligible. With this advantage, not refining elixirs would indeed be a waste."

"Our current cultivation level isn’t high. As long as we consume a handful of Breath of Pure Powder, Qi Condensing Pill, Meridian Passage Pill, and Blood Qi Pill each day, both Qi Refinement and Martial Arts Training can yield twice the result with half the effort, swiftly enhancing our strength."

At this point, Nian Quan looked at Huo Qing, raising a hand to toss him a box neatly sorted with elixirs: "If we don’t do this, those No.1 Seeds nurtured by the big companies, who also consume pills daily, will progress in their cultivation faster than us, consequently leaving us behind."

"It’s not just me who needs to take them. Once the effects are confirmed, you’ll also need to take them. Although I think An Jing surely has better elixirs, or perhaps he doesn’t even need them, if he’s interested, I’ll also refine pills for him."

Accepting the medicine box, Huo Qing found it hard to refuse.

Actually, from his perspective, Martial Arts Training must involve elixir consumption.

External cultivation of muscles, bones, and skin requires medicinal baths for tempering; internal cultivation requires elixir support—a normal practice for those not considering longevity. Martial Artists training in ’Food Skill’ absorb elixirs quickly with minimal waste, and any undigestible residual pill toxins can be ground away using the Inner Array Realm, eliminating concerns of sequelae.

The reason for not doing so previously was simply because Huo Qing didn’t have the money.

"Ay, I wonder if this is the right thing to do..."

Feeling complex, Huo Qing took from the medicine box a crystal-clear elixir emitting a faint green glow, full of vitality, beneficial for rapid self-healing and Body Refinement—’Beneficial Life Pill’: "Based on the texts I’ve read, they mostly say excessive elixir consumption undermines cultivation foundations."

Nian Quan said nothing in response, uncertain of how to address this—these two were essentially grassroots cultivators from the Lower City District of Xuanye, even if they were now excellent students of Third Middle School, with solid foundations in specialized knowledge, they still lacked basic cultivation common sense compared to higher-level cultivators in the Inner City District.

"Guess we can only wait for An Jing to return." He sighed: "No contact for so long... I wonder what happened back in his hometown... He’s having a tough time."

"Indeed." Huo Qing gently stroked the head of the white cat in his arms, looking somewhat melancholic at the acid rain pouring down outside the window, and sighed as well: "What we must do... wait?"

In mid-sentence, he suddenly widened his eyes, staring out the window in astonishment: "Nian, look, is that... your home?"

Nian Quan, who was preparing the Pill Furnace for the next batch, stood up to look, momentarily stunned upon hearing Huo Qing’s words: "Huh?"

Winds surged, thunders roared. At the center of Nian Quan’s large flat in the Inner City District, dark tornadoes and a spiderweb-like network of lightning spread across the sky. This scene was exceedingly familiar to Huo Qing because... it’s what An once had him witness—

Heavenly Tribulation!

"Heavenly Tribulation!"

[Heavenly Tribulation?!]

[Why, why is there a Heavenly Tribulation in the city?!]

At this moment, not only were Huo Qing and Nian Quan stunned, but all the scouts from the major companies secretly observing Nian Quan’s residence, the school leaders of Third Middle School, and the True People and True Lords of Xuanye City also all paused their tasks, startled, looking at the direction enveloped by the Heavenly Tribulation: [What happened?]

[Could it be... because of An Xuan?!]

Not An Xuan. But it couldn’t be said completely unrelated either.

At this moment, just having crossed over to the Tianyuan Realm, An Jing also wore a bewildered expression: "Heavenly Tribulation? Why? It’s one thing for Embracing the Void to strike at me, as leading a group to practice Feather Transformation Dao undoubtedly deserves it, but why would the Tianyuan Realm strike me?"

"Could it be because I smuggled others across? But even so, that’s unlikely!"

[No, this isn’t a punishment tribulation, but a ’Tribulation of Enlightenment’]

Cheng Guang and Chenyinzi were asleep; only Xiyi Heavenly Monarch’s consciousness was awake, and with a quick look, He discerned that this seemingly fierce lightning tribulation actually bore no destructive punitive intent.

On the contrary... this massive Lightning Tribulation seemed to carry a hint of joy, expectation, and formality towards its presence.

If one had to put it into words, it resembled...

A welcoming salute!

As the Heavenly Lord merged with the Candle Dragon Battle Armor, He quickly grasped the whole reason, bursting into laughter: [An Jing, quickly, summon your Taibai Battle Armor!]

[This realm, being the originating place of the Feather Transformation Dao, is right now rewarding the celestial achievement of spreading this realm’s Dao pathway to the outside world!]
