Now that Jiang Chen had repeatedly made great contributions and established glory and status in the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, he had begun to stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Tiance, the vice-captain. It wasn't a good thing to have such great contributions. Therefore, it was imperative to kill Jiang Chen. If Zhang Tiance didn't make a move, this guy would rebel sooner or later. Zhang Tiance could see from Jiang Chen's eyes that this guy hated him to the bone.
On the other hand, Jiang Chen entered a state of cultivation because he needed to refine pills. He had already gathered the ingredients for the Five Barrier Pill, so he didn't dare to delay. He only had one chance, so he had to grasp it well.
Jiang Chen carefully studied the refinement method of the Five Barrier Pill and was already familiar with it. Now it was time to extract the fifth ingredient, the Rootless Flower!
According to Hou Zhenshan, the existence of the Rootless Flower's main branch could only be obtained by using the Rootless Water Instructor and the Rootless Vine. Moreover, it was a short-lived opportunity, so he had to grab hold of this opportunity. If it was fleeting, all his previous efforts might go to waste.
The Five Barrier Pill, as the name suggested, eliminated the obstacles of the five elements in order to advance smoothly. For Jiang Chen, this was an opportunity to break through. For ordinary people, even those with outstanding talent, it was impossible to complete the transformation between the half-step Star Realm and the Star Realm without 500 years. However, Jiang Chen relied on the Five Barrier Pill to change and reverse the situation.
The Five Barrier Pill was divided into the Rootless Wind, which was replaced by the Eternal Immortal Wind, and the Rootless Fire, which was replaced by the Five-Element Divine Fire. The Rootless Vine and Rootless Water were already in hand, so success or failure depended on this.
Jiang Chen poured the Rootless Water on the Rootless Vine. The withered Rootless Vine slowly emitted the aura of life, and it began to grow branches, turning green. In just ten breaths of time, a snow-white flower had grown out from the branches. It was tender and beautiful, and it was beautiful beyond imagination.
"It's done! This is the Rootless Flower! "
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and didn't dare to be negligent. He hurriedly started refining the pill.
The rootless wind was known as metal, formed from refining metal; the rootless vine was known as wood; the rootless water was known as water; the five elemental divine fires were known as fire; the rootless flower was known as earth. In the blink of an eye, it dispersed and turned into mud and dust.
Gathering the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and breaking through the five barriers, the pill was formed!
The Five Barriers Pill looked simple, but it was a combination of five extremely rare treasures. If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Chen happened to have two of them, the congealing of the Five Barriers Pill, perhaps Jiang Chen wouldn't have been able to wait.
Metal subdues wood, wood becomes fire, fire refines metal, metal subdues water, water consumes metal! In an invisible cycle, Jiang Chen was extremely nervous and careful in his alchemy.
He didn't want all his previous efforts to go to waste. Right now, the only thing that could increase his strength rapidly was the Five Barrier Pill! He clearly understood what the threshold of the Star level meant. There were so many half-step star experts, but very few could break through. It was hard to describe even one in ten thousand. Jiang Chen needed ten times more Genesis Qi than others, so he couldn't imagine when he would be able to break through.
The Five Barriers Pill was his only hope!
Jiang Chen had concocted countless pills. Even concocting the Seven Revolutions Great Reviving Pill wasn't as difficult as this. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. If any of these elements had any problem, it would cause the concoction of the Five Barriers Pill to fail. The most difficult step was to make sure that the five elements were in balance. Only then could the Five Barriers Pill be formed. Jiang Chen had no idea what was going on.
Jiang Chen tried again and again, but it was extremely difficult for him to achieve a perfect balance between metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Wind was formless, Jiang Chen was as Impermanence and impossible to grasp. Fire was formless, and water was shadowless. The slightest flaw could lead to the failure of the Five Barriers Pill.
After over a hundred times of mutually reinforcing and restraining, connecting and fusing, Jiang Chen finally reached a perfect balance between the five elements. Jiang Chen had expended tremendous effort, and even he didn't know how long it had taken him, to complete the pill fusion. Moreover, this was merely fusion, and there was still a long way to go before the pill was formed. If not for the sufficient Genesis Qi reserves in Jiang Chen's body, he would not have been able to endure such a difficult pill refinement process.
The Five Barriers Pill was similar to the Seven Revolutions Great Return Pill, and was not something anyone below the Star level could casually refine. Jiang Chen was considered to be defying the heavens.
However, Jiang Chen had already done many heaven-defying things. He had no choice but to bravely press forward.
The five elements mutually reinforcing and restraining each other had formed the current pill fusion. As long as the established five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were connected, he would be able to achieve a breakthrough.
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed. Jiang Chen was finally exhausted, but the Five Barriers Pill had formed a cycle of life and death. Finally, the five elements were completely fused, and a primal chaos colored pill was gradually taking shape in the Myriad Qi Cauldron.
Jiang Chen slowly spat out a mouthful of turbid air. His face was very ugly, but he had not disappointed his expectations. The Five Barriers Pill was finally refined, and it was a ten-rune pill! Jiang Chen pursued perfection, and this was even more so when it came to pill refinement. There was no room for carelessness. Since he was going to do it, he had to do it thoroughly.
The Five Barriers Pill was too important to Jiang Chen. This was his determination to break through to the Stellar-level! Once he broke through to the Stellar-level, he would be like a fish in the vast ocean and a bird in the vast sky. At that time, he would be able to soar freely in the entire Eternal World. Stellar-level experts could travel between the starry sky and ignore the pressure and gravity between the stars. As long as they reached the Stellar-level, they would be able to leap between the star fields. This was the dream of countless people. The lowest threshold to become an interstellar wanderer was also the Stellar-level.
However, at this time, the Black King's words came to Jiang Chen's mind.
"Master, Zuo Lun Hui has been waiting for you for a long time. The commander ranking battle is about to begin."
"Alright, I got it."
When Jiang Chen came out of seclusion, Zuo Lun Hui had been waiting in his residence for a long time.
"What time is it? You are still cultivating. The commander ranking battle is about to begin, but you are not anxious at all."
Zuo Lun Hui looked at Jiang Chen and shook his head.
"Because I know that haste makes waste."
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"When you went into seclusion, you did not pay attention to the outside world. The outside world has been turned upside down by you. I did not expect you to go to the inner city and challenge Hou Zhenshan. You really made me look at you in a different light."
