The great battle ended with the failure of the elixir.
At least nominally, when Fairy Yun Xiang destroyed the Demon's Residence, she destroyed the cauldron as well, destroying Hei Chi's hope of advancing to the Ground Fairies.
After that, the immortals and demons fought for three days at the Azure River before returning to their respective mountains.
Another nine days passed. The crimson light flew from Yin Ming School's Mount Wujin back to Mount Yuanhua.
Master Hei Chi landed on the bank of the Azure River. He chanted an incantation and circled around three times. A platform automatically floated up from the ruins of the Demon's Residence. This platform was the one he used to make elixirs not long ago.
The jade platform was engraved with flying dragons, colorful phoenixes, auspicious unicorns, and longevity turtles. These were all auspicious beasts of longevity. Above the four spirits was originally guarding the Xuanshen Cauldron. But now, the cauldron was broken by the mystic gate, and the jade platform was empty.
However, Master Hei Chi's gaze was not on the cauldron. He looked at the four spirit patterns below the jade platform and pointed. "Come out!"
The flying dragons stretched out their claws, and the white clouds condensed into dew. The heavenly phoenix spread its wings, and the sun shone brightly. The unicorn held the ganoderma in its mouth, and the wind stirred up vitality. The longevity turtle spat out a lotus seed, and under the water, fire, and wind, it slowly bloomed into a five-colored jade lotus. A ball of indestructible elixir energy was sealed in the center of the flower.
"Marvelous, marvelous beyond words." Master Black Pool was overjoyed when he saw this ball of Pill Qi.
This elixir energy was the Xuanming Seven Orifices Elixir that he refined not long ago. The moment the Demon's Residence was destroyed, he transferred it into the jade platform and sealed it. It could be said that the Four Spirit Jade Platform and the Xuanshen Cauldron were a set of Dharma treasures, and the jade platform itself could also be used to make elixirs.
The elixir energy was pure white, and there was a Xuanming golden elixir inside. This item was refined using the special method of the Jade Plain Sect's "Eighteen Mother-Child Hands".
In the Jade Plain Sect, the "Eighteen Mother-Child Hands" was also known as the "posthumous child". This referred to the two sets of elixirs as "child" and "mother". The elixir of the child would fuse into the mother, forming a special pattern of "pill within pill".
This way, the mother's elixir energy would form a layer outside the other set of elixirs, enhancing the effects of the other set of elixirs. Moreover, it would delay the time needed to form the pill, and it would not be disturbed by external forces. In fact, this kind of Child and Mother Pill could automatically condense into a pill, without the need for Immortals or Demons to control it. When the placenta was destroyed and the mother pill disappeared, the child pill would be successfully refined. This was the so-called "posthumous child".
"The medicinal pill is done, the day of my enlightenment has finally come!" Hei Chi dove into the Green River and hid deep inside, waiting for the moment the medicinal pill was completed.
After the great battle not long ago, who would have thought that he would actually return to this battlefield?
On Mount Yuanhua, there was an immortal pine tree that welcomed guests. The green pine needles rustled. Ji Feichen and a White Fox sat on a tree. The two of them were projecting this scene through the Shapeless Wondrous Technique that Tushan had left in the Azure River.
White Fox said slowly to the man beside him, "It looks like you guessed right. He had indeed attained the Dao in May. Four months to refine pills, five months to produce pills. I just don't know if there will be anyone else coming in the end. "
"Of course. My master is no fool. And Crimson Heaven Sect should have a reaction. "
Since the immortals of Jade Plain Sect said that Hei Chi's method was related to Crimson Heaven Ancestor, then Ji Feichen naturally included them in his calculations. Crimson Heaven Sect's foundation was alchemy, so they would definitely not let go of this top grade medicinal pill.
"The only thing to worry about is whether Crimson Heaven Ancestor will personally come out."
"It's better if he comes out." White Fox wagged his tail and said lightly, "If he comes out, Elder Ge of Jade Plain Sect will personally deal with him."
Ji Feichen thought for a while and said, "So, we don't need the Grand Supreme Sect to do anything next. You and I will hide in the dark and see if we can get anything. "
"Yes, Xuanming Seven Apertures Pill. That's a good thing. " Even Tushan, who had taken the elixir of immortality, had an endless yearning for the legendary elixir that could help him break through to the Earth Immortal level.
…
This wait lasted for more than ten days.
After the first summer of April came the midsummer of May. The temperature rose, cicadas sang, and rain fell, bringing about a great change in the world's fortunes.
Ji Feichen silently studied the weather while White Fox wagged his tail and fanned himself.
Suddenly, an uninvited guest walked over the surface of the Azure River.
But unlike the Grand Supreme Sect's "Like Water Mind", this man used a demonic cultivation method. He used magic power to drive the waves and walked step by step on the waves.
Master Blackflow's eyes flashed, his hands hidden in his sleeves as he calculated the location of the Hei Chi.
"My good junior brother isn't stupid. He definitely has a backup plan. And the most dangerous place is the safest place. Perhaps he's still hiding here? "
"Blackflow is here?" In the distance, Ji Feichen's expression was one of shock. His aura immediately changed. The originally gloomy and serene aura suddenly contained a distant and ethereal Dao. It was as if he himself was born of heaven and earth, one with the world like a ring of the Great Dao.
Tushan couldn't help but look in Ji Feichen's direction.
Ji Feichen closed his eyes, and his aura faded away as if it had never existed in the first place. "The day has finally come."
In order to deal with Blackflow, Ji Feichen's preheaven true spirit and Titan Emperor nascent divinity left the dao-fruit of their own accord and entered his devil-dragon form.
In other words, Ji Feichen was going all out. He wasn't going to stay in the Dark Heaven Realm and use his dao-fruit to control his two incarnations. Just like Devil Child Ming, he didn't continue to use his puppet body. Instead, he descended from beyond the heavens and took the risk of ending karma.
Because of the preheaven true spirit, the devil-dragon form had stepped into the Mystic Insight realm and was now qualified to compete with the Hei Chi and Blackflow. But it was also very dangerous. If the devil-dragon form was killed, then his preheaven true spirit would die. In other words, he would die completely. Even if he had Qing Hong's body outside, it wouldn't be of any use.
"Master Blackflow, my good master, we've been scheming against each other for the past few years. We should settle some old scores."
White Fox used the Formless Heart Art to hide herself and wait for the right time.
… …
Blackflow stood on the surface of the river. Based on his understanding of the Hei Chi, he was very sure that it was here.
But he couldn't find a single trace of it despite using his demonic soul.
And so, Blackflow used the Soul-Searching Demonic Sound of Yin Ming School. "Junior Brother, I've come to protect you. Are you not even willing to come out and meet me?"
The Soul-Searching Demonic Sound could be transmitted in all directions through sound waves to determine the other party's location. Moreover, the demonic sound had the power to confuse souls. If one's cultivation was inferior to the caster, it was very likely that they would be controlled by the caster and obediently listen to the caster's orders.
"Junior Brother, those in the Mystic Gate are cunning. They might have already found your traces. Why don't you follow me back to the mountain? Under Master's protection, you can successfully break through. "
With the demonic sound ringing in their ears, Ji Feichen and Tushan both revealed their methods.
Tushan took out the Ten Thousand Demons Golden List to protect himself. The Ten Thousand Demons Golden List fluttered in the wind and a white bat flew out. Tushan also used sound waves to simulate the fluctuations of the Soul-Searching Demonic Sound to prevent Blackflow from discovering his traces.
Ji Feichen took out the Nine Heavens Black Gold Dragon God Pagoda.
"Go!" He threw the pagoda. The pagoda turned into layers of clouds. Nine-colored heavenly light rose from the boundless clouds, as if another space-time had been stacked in the air.
The clouds were indistinct and the light was boundless, protecting Ji Feichen in this space-time. When the sound waves swept over, they could only sense the empty space of the Great Void and couldn't respond.
However, Hei Chi wasn't so lucky. He hid at the bottom of the river and didn't have this kind of treasure to protect himself. Very quickly, Blackflow discovered his location.
"Found him!" Following the incongruity of the echoes, Blackflow locked onto his position.
Hei Chi slapped with his hand and the river was forced into two, revealing Hei Chi's location.
Fortunately, Hei Chi's cultivation wasn't much weaker than Blackflow's. Although his location was found, he wasn't controlled by the demonic sound.
Hei Chi sat cross-legged at the bottom of the river and looked up. "Senior brother, you're early."
Hei Chi walked toward the bottom step by step. "Why, did you already predict that I would come here?"
"I don't trust others, but I trust senior brother's methods the most." Hei Chi's expression was somewhat complicated. Back then, Hei Chi could be said to be his guide. Now, the two of them had turned into enemies and were fighting over the Ground Fairies. The entanglement of gratitude and grudges was truly regrettable.
However, Hei Chi deeply believed that if there was one person in the world who could see through his plan, it would definitely be Hei Chi. If there were two people, Hei Chi would definitely be one of them.
"So, that brat Ji Feichen is just a smokescreen?"
"Junior brother wants to settle all his grudges with senior brother, so he naturally won't let others do it. That brat Ji Feichen was just used not long ago to lower the vigilance of others. Hei Chi put away the white pill floating in front of him and placed it back on the pill platform. "Let's begin."
Greed flashed through Hei Chi's eyes when he saw the misty pill.
"Then how do you want to settle it?"
"I remember back then, senior brother taught me sword techniques for the first time. It was also on the water?" Hei Chi made a grabbing motion and condensed a sword from the river. "Then, senior brother, please enlighten me!"
The blue waves dispersed and the sword transformed into thousands of light shadows that pounced toward Hei Chi.
Hei Chi imitated him and reached into the water, grasping the sword formed from river water in his hand.
"Water Manipulation Sword?" Ji Feichen's eyes flickered. Through the two's techniques, he was considering whether he could use weak water to imitate them.
"Hey —" White Fox whispered to him from the side, "The people from Red Heaven Gate are here!"
"Ah?" Ji Feichen turned his head and saw three Human Immortals sneaking toward the direction of Green River in a hidden area of Mount Origin Transformation. The three wore the Daoist robes of Red Heaven Gate and held incense burners, pill cauldrons, and other items in their hands.
"Ancestor Red Heaven is coming. Tushan, leave first. I'll find my cheap Grandmaster. " Ji Feichen silently contacted Hall Master Kan Ming while Tushan slipped further away to find the Ground Fairies of Jade Plain Sect.
"It'll be a battle between the three Ground Fairies then," Ji Feichen muttered to himself and looked at the battle between Hei Chi and Hei Chi.
The two were only a step away from the Ground Fairies and were evenly matched. It was possible for either of them to win.
Currently, Hei Chi had the upper hand. His fingertips emitted rays of mystical energy, each with a skull imprint. They surrounded Hei Chi and trapped him in the water, unable to raise his head.
"Junior Brother, it seems like I'm better."
"Better?" Hei Chi sneered and silently calculated the time. He ignored Hei Chi.
Hei Chi was puzzled. Did this guy still have some tricks up his sleeve?
Suddenly, Hei Chi smelled a strange fragrance and turned his head. The Xuanming Seven Orifices Pill on the pill platform was slowly dispersing into a cloud of red mist.
Seeing this, Hei Chi revealed a shocked expression. "The pill aura is dispersing. The pill wasn't refined at all?" If the pill was refined successfully, why would it suddenly disperse into pill aura? One had to know that the goal of pill refinement was "perfect pill body, immortal metal". This kind of red mist was a sign of pill refinement failure.
"No, it's a success." Master Hei Chi threw his sword into the water and it disappeared. "Senior Brother, don't you feel your magic power exploding after coming here?"
Master Hei Chi's expression suddenly changed. "Not good!" He turned to run, but the red mist released by the Xuanming Seven Orifices Pill had already gathered around him and began to pour the power of the pill that Master Hei Chi had refined for many years into him.
"Senior Brother is very good to me. I have nothing to repay you with, so I can only repay you with this half-finished Seven Orifices Pill. Senior Brother, have a safe journey. "Master Hei Chi was calm and leisurely as he watched Hei Chi's magic power continuously increase.
He refined the Xuanming Pill at the same time. When the mother body outside disperses into red mist, the real Xuanming Seven Orifices Pill inside was also revealed.
According to Hei Chi's expectations, the red mist outside would increase Hei Chi's magic power. As for the True Pill inside, he would slowly find an opportunity to consume it later.
As Hei Chi's magic power increased, he unknowingly began to break through to the Ground Fairies.
Ground Fairies's Dao Fruit, Ground Fairies's primordial spirit, and Ground Fairies's true body. To Hall Master Kan Ming, the so-called Dao Fruit and primordial spirit weren't important. What was truly important was the Ground Fairies's true body. His supreme White Bone Demon God Body had a flaw that needed another White Bone True Body to make up for. In other words, all he needed was the Ground Fairies's true body.
Now that Hei Chi had begun to transform into the Ground Fairies's true body, Hall Master Kan Ming, who had been found by Ji Feichen, finally couldn't help but take action.
The thick clouds in the sky exploded as the giant white bone hand slowly reached out.
Ji Feichen watched from the shadows. "So that's how it is. Uncle-Master didn't expect to use the pill to break through. His pill refinement itself was to use Hei Chi as a sacrifice."
In the distance, Hei Yuan and the others were also using a secret technique to watch. When they saw this scene, they were also very nervous.
"Let's go! Quickly send this old demon away. Don't let him cause trouble again! Only when he leaves will we dare to break through. "
Seeing the giant claw, Hei Chi's expression was a bit panicked, but he immediately calmed down. "Master, this disciple has poured his heart and soul into you. How many things have I done all these years? Are you really not going to give me any face? "
"My good disciple has done so many things for me. Then in the end, do me another favor. Give me the White Bone True Body that you refined for me to become a Celestial. " Hall Master Kan Ming's tone was indifferent. He didn't care who advanced to the Ground Fairies. As long as he could go one step further and make up for the flaws in his dao marks.
