Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 673: Human-shaped Spirit Pill Transformation

Gu Mang ran into trouble while alchemizing.

Chen Pingping started to examine the situation, wanting to lend a hand, but then...

"Shocking, Elder Chen is actually starting to alchemize."

"That's terrifying, Elder Chen is actually going to take over Gu Mang's pill."

"He has already begun taking over."

Word spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred...

In just a short while, everyone in the Wuji Sect knew about Chen Pingping's initial intention to intervene and his eventual takeover of Gu Mang's pill.

The crowd was astonished. Could an alchemy process actually be taken over midway?

This Elder Chen was indeed a peerless genius! Divine Skills, Sword Dao, smithing, alchemy—he was skilled in everything. He seemed invincible.

WHOOSH!

A group of people frantically dashed in that direction.

Zhang Ziyu looked up, glanced in that direction, then turned to Jiang Ni'er.

Jiang Ni'er spoke up, "Senior brother can't alchemize."

Indeed, Chen Pingping truly couldn't alchemize.

But many years ago, alchemy techniques had appeared within the rewards from the system. He hadn't learned them, nor did he care to.

Every so often, the system would provide a large quantity of pills—eighth grade, ninth grade, everything one could wish for. Why would he need to learn alchemy?

Such matters should be left to those with the talent for it, like Gu Mang.

And indeed, his judgment had proven to be good.

Gu Mang had gone from resisting alchemy to becoming fully immersed in it, eventually even creating such humanoid Spirit Pills.

This had surprised Chen Pingping.

He watched the humanoid Spirit Pill, a terrifying thought arising deep within him, some frightening ideas... He always felt that Gu Mang was opening the doors to a new world.

"Are you alright?" he transmitted via Divine Sense to Gu Mang.

But Gu Mang did not respond, as if he had fallen into some sort of state.

Chen Pingping also realized something, his heart chilled. He took a few steps forward, one hand burning with Heavenly Fire, the other wielding the Reincarnation Mystery to perceive the past.

In an instant, blurry, scattered images flowed into his mind.

He saw the humanoid Spirit Pill's transformation: it condensed Spiritual Intelligence, gained consciousness, and in a single thought, lashed out fiercely, even launching a Divine Sense Attack.

It was powerful, far surpassing the attacks of ordinary creatures.

Caught off guard, Gu Mang eventually succumbed, falling into a deep stupor.

This also caused the humanoid Spirit Pill to become incapacitated.

Chen Pingping speculated that it might be because Gu Mang's cultivation realm was too low, his strength insufficient, which was why the humanoid Spirit Pill exhibited a backlash. The top priority should be to awaken Gu Mang so that he could resume alchemy. Otherwise, if too much time passed, Gu Mang could very likely be completely devoured by the pill.

He hesitated no more. His Divine Sense transformed, resonating in Gu Mang's mind like the ringing of dawn's bells: "Wake up."

The call echoed, one after the other...

A few minutes passed, and almost everyone from the Wuji Sect had arrived—the higher-ups, the powerful cultivators, the disciples, and so on. This included Zhang Ziyu and others, who were stunned to see Chen Pingping taking action.

"Wake up... wake up... wake up..."

Chen Pingping's expression was solemn as he reprimanded loudly and repeatedly.

Yet Gu Mang still showed no reaction.

Just then, the humanoid Spirit Pill suddenly opened its eyes. They were void of pupils, just a pair of hollow sockets from which a cold light slashed out, forming a sharp sword.

But outsiders couldn't see it. This was a Divine Sense Attack.

Chen Pingping let out a cold huff. His hand, ablaze with Heavenly Fire, slapped fiercely at it, directly suppressing it.

All Spirit Pills in the world came to be because of flames and, likewise, could be destroyed by them.

The burning Heavenly Fire clearly frightened the humanoid Spirit Pill, and it calmed down again...

"Help me!" A voice suddenly transmitted from Gu Mang's mind—very weak, exhausted, hoarse, and deep.

To create this Spirit Pill, he had paid too much. He was on the verge of success, but his own backlash left him unable to control the humanoid Spirit Pill before him.

He was unwilling to accept this. His consciousness kept resisting; fortunately, Chen Pingping had shown up in time.

When the Heavenly Fire burned, it momentarily suppressed the humanoid Spirit Pill, allowing Gu Mang's consciousness to recover.

Chen Pingping asked, "How are you?"

Gu Mang weakly answered, "To bestow life upon it... I cannot do it."

The Spirit Pill that had been born with Spiritual Intelligence was not complete. It had lashed out a few times merely due to instinctual resistance. It lacked too much, and Gu Mang was unable to provide what it needed.

Chen Pingping understood. He produced a ninth-tier Spirit Pill and fed it to Gu Mang, then refocused his attention on the humanoid Spirit Pill, rebuking deep inside his heart, "All things arise in triplicity."

The secret technique of the Taoist Sect was profound and extensive. From zero to one, from one to three, evolving all things under heaven and earth. This represented creation, but it was entirely different from life itself. "All things arise in triplicity" stressed doing what comes naturally, letting things take their own course.

Therefore, Chen Pingping used "All things arise in triplicity" to deduce the humanoid Spirit Pill. If it truly possessed life, it should live out in the human world. Then... the deduction of "All things arise in triplicity" should certainly be able to assist it.

Of course, the process was not simple. Gu Mang had refined the embryo and was exhausted to the point of backlash. For Chen Pingping, bestowing life upon it was no less difficult than Gu Mang's initial refinement. And it consumed a great deal.

Luckily, he himself had many Spirit Pills and a deep foundation.

The first attempt failed. The second attempt also failed. The third attempt failed as well. The fourth... the fifth... the sixth...

Chen Pingping's complexion was ashen, his body convulsing. He had lost count of how many times he had performed the "All things arise in triplicity" deduction. Each time, just as success seemed imminent, he would inexplicably fail.

He was now unclear whether this humanoid Spirit Pill had any "destiny," or whether it could truly come to life.

He was just short of something. Where was the problem? No, that's not it. Deducing "All things arise in triplicity" could only bestow life, but could not provide a Divine Soul. This it would have to condense on its own.

Indeed, within the Six Tao, there was cultivation of the Divine Soul's mysteries; unfortunately, he was far from reaching such a level. Therefore, he couldn't assist the humanoid Spirit Pill in this respect. So all he could do was bestow life...

Having realized this, when Chen Pingping re-deduced "All things arise in triplicity," he no longer tried to force the process.

But what he never anticipated was that as soon as the humanoid Spirit Pill gained life, a Divine Soul was also born alongside it. Yes!

But this was no coincidence. A surge of Essence Qi Spirit burst forth from deep within Chen Pingping, entering the body of the humanoid Spirit Pill, thereby... giving birth to her.

The Spirit Pill condensed and gradually took on the appearance of a little girl, about five or six years old, exquisitely cute, with a pair of bright, sparkling eyes—extremely adorable.

The crowd was shocked.

Flesh, meridians, Dantian, skin, hair, facial features... life, and even a Divine Soul.

It was complete. Impeccably so, just like a new life form had been born.

The little girl blinked her eyes, then giggled and called out, "Father!"

The cultivators watching on were utterly bewildered.

Hongxiu was speechless.

The Qingfeng lineage remained silent.

The few small animals also made no sound.

The first word spoken by the humanoid Spirit Pill after its transformation was, unexpectedly, "Father."

And it was directed at Chen Pingping.

The latter's face darkened considerably; he stumbled and fell from the sky.

The little girl doubled over with laughter and then cried out to Gu Mang, "Mother!"

Gu Mang, who had just awakened, was utterly dumbstruck.

The scene was very quiet. Apart from marveling at the little girl's hilarity and cuteness, they were mostly in shock.

A Spirit Pill had just transformed before their very eyes.

Mr. Zhang, who was among the onlookers, felt his worldview collapsing. Is this even human? He actually created a life form!

The Saint Kings behind him looked at Chen Pingping, their expressions growing increasingly unsettled as they shivered. They realized this fellow was no ordinary person. We must never provoke him in the future, they thought. When necessary, we should heed his words, even over Mr. Zhang's.

「At this moment!」

The sky was covered with dense clouds, rolling in layer upon layer, obscuring this patch of heaven.
