Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 168 - 166: Setting Out
Boom!
Xu Yang’s whole body trembled, his face instantly turning deathly pale, his expression contorting in agony!
Although that shard of residual intent was already extremely weak, it was still terrifying beyond words for Xu Yang!
He felt as if his Sea of Consciousness was about to burst, his soul struck by thunder, convulsing madly!
Hum!
The Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant glowed, illuminating his Sea of Consciousness!
Under the pendant’s protection, the tearing and impact of the residual intent shard was slightly lessened!
But only slightly!
Xu Yang was still bearing an indescribable terror and pain.
His eyes rounded wide, bloodshot!
Drop after drop of fresh blood oozed from his nose and mouth!
Liou Yunfeng watched, eyes full of worry!
"If it really doesn’t work..."
But he didn’t finish the sentence!
From Xu Yang’s eyes, he saw deep determination!
Xu Yang bit his tongue, letting out a low roar, and his Spiritual Power surged wildly.
He never planned to refine those shards, nor could he.
Right now, using the boost from the residual intent shard, he desperately controlled the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod!
Before starting the alchemy, the three of them had already prepared countermeasures for emergencies.
This was the only way!
But Xu Yang still had one last card!
Having made it this far, he couldn’t accept failure!
"Heaven-Locking Divine Chain, come forth for me!"
Xu Yang roared inside, his face twisted, pouring out all his strength, and manifested six Heaven-Locking Divine Chains from his forehead, which shot out like lightning and plunged into the Divine Tripod!
"What is that?"
Liou Yunfeng’s eyes widened with shock.
Those six indistinct chains, weak as they seemed to him, carried an endless sense of profundity and mystery!
Even with his cultivation, he couldn’t see through them, unable to glimpse their secrets!
It was truly unbelievable!
Could it be some special method given by the Pill Emperor?
Thinking this, Liou Yunfeng’s spirit revived, and he looked toward the Divine Tripod with hope.
Maybe, there was really a chance of success!
The six chains enveloped the pill instantly, sinking inside.
The pill was struck as if by thunder, quivering violently, cracks appearing all over its surface.
But immediately after, it seemed to be bound by the chains!
Though covered in cracks, it finally stabilized.
Xu Yang felt the chaotic aura inside the pill calm down, his eye twitching as joy burst across his face.
It worked!
It had to be the Heaven-Locking Divine Chain!
This Heaven-Locking Divine Chain was slightly different from the Three Heaven-Locking Seals, condensed from Spiritual Power and possessed extremely strong binding power!
He’d only tried it on a whim.
Thankfully, the Heaven-Locking Divine Chain didn’t let him down!
If not, even with help from the residual intent shard, success wouldn’t have been guaranteed!
As the thought flashed by, Xu Yang fully relaxed.
Suddenly his head felt as if struck hard by a hammer—dizzy and spinning.
He couldn’t hold on any longer; his body went limp, and he collapsed.
"Xu Yang?"
Liou Yunfeng cried out in alarm, catching Xu Yang quickly, checking him, and finally letting out a sigh of relief.
It was only due to massive depletion and the shock from the residual intent shard!
After feeding Xu Yang a pill, Liou Yunfeng looked at the strange Breaking Forbidden Elixir before him and couldn’t help laughing aloud.
"Looks like we’ll be seeing the Pill Emperor soon."
Liou Yunfeng licked his lips, eyes full of longing: "Once the Pill Emperor is out, no matter what, I have to ask to be taken as a named disciple."
He truly yearned for it too much!
For any Pill Master, even if one had to kneel and crawl, begging the Pill Emperor’s consent was nothing shameful!
Not shameful at all!
Three days later.
Xu Yang slowly awakened, and the first thing he did upon regaining consciousness was to check his condition.
He still felt tired and weak, but much better than before his coma!
He guessed Liou Yunfeng must have fed him some pill!
"My Spiritual Power has actually increased."
Xu Yang was shocked inside, and quite substantially, too.
Recalling the final residual intent shard from Fang Xuanjiu, Xu Yang felt at ease!
Even though most of it was wasted, under such pressure and impact, even a faint bit was enough for him to reap enormous benefit!
"Once I’m fully recovered, my Spiritual Power alone should be close to the Late Stage of Yang Realm!"
"Lock God Seal, Demon Dragon Seal unleashed, plus the Cyan Jade Seal’s triple amplification, tsk!"
That kind of result— even Xu Yang couldn’t help but suck in a breath.
"Mr. Xu, you’re awake?"
A gentle voice washed over him.
Xu Yang instinctively opened his eyes and looked.
A beautiful, delighted face appeared before him—none other than Bai Jingxue!
All around, gazes turned his way.
The dog jumped up, rubbing against Xu Yang ceaselessly.
"Mr. Xu, how are you feeling?"
Xu Yang hurriedly sat up, realizing that he was actually lying beside Bai Jingxue, which made him sigh in relief.
Good thing he wasn’t in Bai Jingxue’s arms!
That would be way too awkward!
Feeling the dog’s concern, Xu Yang rubbed its head; this mutt hadn’t eaten so many pills for nothing, at least it remembered him.
Then Xu Yang smiled and said, "It’s nothing serious, I’ll be fine in a few days."
He looked hopefully at Liou Yunfeng: "Mr. Liou..."
Before Xu Yang could finish, Liou Yunfeng handed over the pill with a smile: "Though it looks kind of messy, it’s considered a success."
The cracked Breaking Forbidden Elixir now looked especially tempting to Xu Yang!
This Breaking Forbidden Elixir was far from a top-grade pill, even a bit inferior to the ordinary kind!
But this was enough.
To manage even this much was a surprise blessing!
Once the Pill Emperor was saved, there would be ample opportunity to seek out Spirit Elixir for the Pill Emperor’s recovery!
Though everyone was curious about this pill, they all sensibly refrained from asking!
For Liou Yunfeng himself to join in its refinement, it was clearly extraordinary!
"Mr. Xu, while you were unconscious, Jingxue cared for you tirelessly; it’s just that there’s no bed here, conditions a bit rough, otherwise it’d have been even more comfortable!"
Bai Song grinned, winking at Xu Yang.
Bai Jingxue’s pretty face blushed, glancing at Xu Yang with shy eyes.
The cave echoed with a round of teasing laughter!
Xu Yang’s lips twitched—these old bastards!
"Sorry to trouble Miss Bai." Xu Yang turned to see Bai Jingxue’s look, his heart skipping a beat—he quietly decided to keep some distance!
"It’s nothing." Bai Jingxue smiled softly, with a gentle warmth radiating from her very bones!
Xu Yang hurriedly looked away.
One Su Yun, plus another Bai Jingxue—truly overwhelming!
Zhang Yuanshan watched the scene, secretly curling his lips, snorting—trying to seduce?
Challenge upright Mr. Xu with this?
Truthfully, he was insanely jealous, hating himself for not having a beautiful daughter!
Otherwise, he’d be far more desperate than Bai Song!
"Xu Yang, when are you planning to head out?" Liou Yunfeng looked over and asked.
"What’s the situation outside now?"
Xu Yang asked in a low voice.
All told, more than half a month had passed.
Outside...
Yang Yi’s face was grave: "A few days ago, I went out to investigate."
"Things outside aren’t looking good now!"
"Especially for Mr. Xu..."
