Deep in the grand hall, it was dark and serene. The underground world was like a furnace, but there was a chill to it. It was extremely odd.
Yi Yun followed the girl into an alchemy chamber.
The gigantic alchemy cauldron was located in the middle of the empty stone hall. It was cold and covered in dust. And beside the alchemy cauldron were black scrolls.
These black scrolls were extremely ancient and were already covered in a thick layer of dust. Yi Yun used his Yuan Qi to wipe away the dust and probed the scrolls with his perception. Instantly, he felt as though his perception was being sucked in.
This was … an artifact specially used to record information?
In the world of warriors, jade slips were typically used to record information. The capacity of jade slips was already very large and was usually sufficient. However, the black scrolls that were specially refined to record information could record even more information.
Yi Yun walked over and flipped open the black scrolls to take a look. Most of the black scrolls were alchemical notes, and there were all sorts of prescriptions.
These prescriptions were extremely complicated. According to the records on the black scrolls, a portion of the prescriptions could refine pills with heaven-defying effects. They were so powerful that Yi Yun found it unbelievable.
A portion of the pills and relics could be used to break through the Divine Lord realm. Yi Yun even saw a few prescriptions. Each one of them was recorded on a black scroll. The amount of information recorded on the black scrolls was more than a hundred times larger than the jade slips, but they were only used to record a single prescription.
And the finished pill of the prescription was prepared for the realm above the Divine Lord realm …
Above the Divine Lord realm?
Yi Yun drew a cold gasp. Up to this point, Yi Yun still felt that the realm above the Divine Lord realm was extremely vague to him. However, he was certain that the Divine Lord realm was not the end of martial arts. The black-dressed woman who created the Azure Wood Great World was definitely in a realm far beyond the Divine Lord realm.
Also, the bronze giant's strength far exceeded that of a Divine Lord.
Upon seeing this, Yi Yun understood that the owner of the black scrolls was an alchemist, or rather, an alchemist god.
Alchemists and Desolate Heaven Masters shared the same lineage. However, Desolate Heaven Masters used Fey beast bones to refine relics, while alchemists used various spiritual plants to refine pills. As the two fields did not overlap, the energy extraction of Fey bones and spiritual plants conflicted greatly. Therefore, very few alchemists dabbled in two fields at the same time. They either focused on the Desolate Heaven technique or alchemy.
In the Yang God Empyrean Heaven, as there were fewer Fey bones than spiritual plants, most Alchemists cultivated in alchemy. There were very few Desolate Heaven techniques.
However, the Alchemist in front of him had cultivated both the Desolate Heaven technique and alchemy. Furthermore, his achievements in both areas could be said to be at the peak of perfection.
Yi Yun was considered proficient in the Desolate Heaven technique, but compared to the person who left the black scroll behind, the difference was like night and day.
Yi Yun carried on reading. The black scrolls were mostly used to record herbal formulas. Relics and elixirs each took up about half of them. The refinement methods were each more complicated than the other. Yi Yun did not have the time to read them in detail. He only wanted to find something useful to him.
Until … he saw a nearly empty black scroll. This black scroll, which was a hundred times the size of a jade scroll, only had a short paragraph recorded on it. And it was this paragraph that shocked Yi Yun greatly.
Yi Yun took about thirty seconds to finish reading a mere few hundred words. Following that, he looked at his surroundings in astonishment. He finally understood how the Sun Burial Sandsea came to be.
According to historical legends, the Sun Burial Sandsea was formed from the fall of the sun. According to Ji Shuiyan's grandfather's inference, it had been a land of extreme Yang for hundreds of millions of years, resulting in the birth of a Yang spirit.
However, Yi Yun knew from the scroll that this desert of extreme Yang was actually the divine alchemist's burial ground.
The fire he buried was the divine fire within the divine alchemist's body!
In the boundless universe, there were all sorts of wonders. Many mysterious lands would condense mutated fire seeds or mutated fire spirits due to various coincidences. Just a tiny flame could incinerate the world.
These Flame Essences and Flame Elementals were divided into different grades according to their power. As for top Desolate Heaven Masters and alchemists, they would search for fire spirits and fire seeds in the world and refine them into their bodies for their own use in the refinement of medicine.
The divine alchemist was no exception.
Furthermore, he had done it to the extreme. Before he became the divine alchemist, he had obtained a mysterious flame of unknown grade in the Sinkhole outside the 12 Empyrean Heavens — the Heretical God Fire Seed.
With this flame and his extraordinary talent, he had become the divine alchemist.
And after he became the divine alchemist, he obtained one of the top three flames in the 12 Empyrean Heavens — the Celestial Empyrean Cleansing Fire.
When the two flames met, the divine alchemist found it unbelievable that the two flames fused.
And after the fusion, the Heretical God Fire Seed was still the main body. It could even be said that the black Heretical God Fire Seed that came from the Sinkhole had slowly devoured the Heaven Earth Cleansing Fire.
From then on, the divine alchemist began to consciously nurture the Heretical God Fire Seed. His alchemical skills slowly reached an unimaginable height.
The divine alchemist was born in the Yang God Empyrean Heaven, but he spent all his days in the Sinkhole.
Only when he was nearing the end of his lifespan did he return to the Yang God Empyrean Heaven and bury the Heretical God Fire Seed in the Sun Burial Sandsea.
Due to the burial fire, the area that spanned tens of millions of kilometers was filled with extreme Yang energy. Forests withered, lakes evaporated, and mountains weathered, eventually turning into a huge desert.
From then on, there was a legend in the Sun Burial Sandsea. It was said that a radiant sun had fallen into the mortal realm, forming the desert sea.
No one knew that the divine alchemist had chosen to bury the fire here. The location of the burial fire was concealed by the divine alchemist with an array formation, making it impossible for anyone to find it. Only after hundreds of millions of years had passed, when the array formation was nearly depleted of its energy, did the location of the burial fire slowly begin to be exposed.
This caused phenomena to appear frequently. In the past few months, the phenomena had covered a radius of half a million kilometers, attracting experts from all over to search for it.
However, no one knew that the tiny Sun Burial Sandsea hid such a shocking secret!
If not, the entire Yang God Empyrean Heaven, or even the other Empyrean Heavens, would have sent peerless experts to search for the location of the divine fire.
It was just … too much time had passed.
Hundreds of millions of years had passed, and the divine alchemist had deliberately concealed it by setting up a massive array. No one would have guessed that the Sun Burial Sandsea was related to the divine alchemist from hundreds of millions of years ago.
As for why the divine alchemist had buried the fire in the Sun Burial Sandsea and why he had set up an array formation to conceal it, it was not to choose a successor to inherit his heritage. It was all for his daughter — Ling Xiaoxiao!
In the last ten million years of the divine alchemist's life, he had been pursuing the two pinnacles of alchemy.
One was the Eternal Elixir!
The other was the Resurrection Elixir!
The former allowed people to live for eternity!
The latter allowed the dead to come back to life!
Both of them defied the heavens and changed one's fate, going against the Heavenly Dao.
