Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Destiny-Chapter 421: Fierce Enough

The highest realm in pill forging is when the pill not only carries its own Spirit Creation but also releases colors akin to a sunset. The pill before them had clearly reached this level;without even consuming it, just a whiff of its scent left one’s heart yearning and stirred the soul.

“So beautiful…”

At this moment, an Elder walked forward, his eyes fixed ahead as if infatuated: “This is mine…”

Muttering under his breath, he moved toward the pill ahead like one possessed.

“Elder Yao Sheng…”

Elder Yao Yun swiftly stepped forward to pull him away, but before he could get close, a look of crazed greed flashed across the infatuated eyes of Elder Yao Sheng, and he struck out with his palm against him.

“This is mine, all mine!”

The palm wind brought a gust of deathly force, revealing lethal intent with no shred of mercy in his move.

Not expecting such a reaction from his junior, Elder Yao Yun was startled and sought to evade, yet he found his entire body locked within a surging Strength, immobile as if mired in mud, unable to break free however much he struggled.

His heart sank.

Having followed his master and diligently forged pills, he had never imagined that he would die by a fellow disciple’s hand.

Just as the situation became dire, it was as if lightning struck from the sky;with a “crack,” the stupefied Elder Yao Sheng lay on the ground, smoking, his life and death unknown.

Pupils shrinking, Elder Yao Yun hastily looked towards the direction from which the lightning came, only to see the Crown Prince, his hands still clasped behind his back, his eyes as deep as abysses, as dark and vast as if there were lightning flickering within them.

The mighty strike from Elder Yao Sheng that could have killed him was actually pierced through by the other, even knocking out his junior brother on the spot with the residual shock wave.

“Elder Yao Sheng has weak resolve and was bewitched by the pill. Take him away quickly. As for the rest, from this moment on, do not directly gaze at the pill, seal your five senses, and do not smell the medicine’s fragrance…”

Elder Jiang Li’s scolding rang out.

Only then did Elder Yao Yun realize, his entire body breaking out in cold sweat.

He had looked at the pill, but because he was far away, he had not smelled its fragrance. That was why he was not affected;otherwise, it could very well have been him lying on the ground.

After the shock, he couldn’t help but look over at the two Drug Testers who had been brought along, only to see them standing peacefully in their place, unaffected in the slightest.

“Impressive…”

He marveled in his mind.

Elder Yao Sheng reached the Life Sea Realm Saint 4-dan pinnacle last year, and such cultivation was influenced. Yet these two, merely at the Galaxy Realm, were not affected at all;indeed, with their drug-resistant unique constitutions, they were extraordinary.

“You dare be so audacious, even as a formed pill! How bold!”

Watching his disciple being taken away, Elder Jiang Li let out a scold, reached out into the air, and the newly forged pill flew towards him, sealed within a sphere of energy.

Having done this, he flicked a finger, and a streak of sword qi whistled out from his fingertip, lightly slicing across the pill.

The next moment, the pill split into two halves, releasing a rich Medicine Power that poured out, forming two vortexes the size of soccer balls. Elder Jiang Li grabbed one and gently squeezed it;the vortex collapsed into two pills the size of longan fruits.

“Try this pill and provide me with the most detailed data!”

With a gentle beckoning of his hand, the pills flew towards Zhang Xuan and Empyrean Kong, landing in their palms.

“Are these the two Drug Testers sourced by Elder Jiang?”

Prince Yuanqing finally took notice of the two, his gaze eventually resting upon Zhang Xuan, revealing a look of admiration: “So young and yet so capable, your future is limitless!”

“Crown Prince is too generous…”

Zhang Xuan and Empyrean Kong said in unison as they clasped their fists.

“Rest assured as you test the medicine. If you manage to forge the pill successfully with your help, I will reward you handsomely, even bestowing a title of nobility is not out of the question,” Prince Yuanqing said indifferently.

“Thank you, Crown Prince!” Zhang Xuan and the other person both revealed expressions of excitement.

Seeing their expressions, Prince Yuanqing nodded with satisfaction and stopped speaking.

Knowing it was time to test the medicine, Zhang Xuan swallowed the pill. As soon as it entered his throat, he immediately felt an overwhelming Medicine Power filling his body, howling as it surged towards his dantian.

In the blink of an eye, a dizzying Strength charged straight into his mind, causing him to involuntarily feel dizzy. Soon after, irritability welled up in his heart.

Similar to the first time he killed someone, panic, palpitations, emotional tension, and even his breathing became a bit rapid.

“This is… the Inner Demon born from the sins of killing…”

Zhang Xuan realized.

As the Master of One Realm, creating a world subject him to the disorderly intentions of countless living beings. The Inner Demons that had just surged into his mind were induced by the medicine’s power, a reaction to killing but dozens, even hundreds of times more intense.

If it were an ordinary person, just this terrifying feeling could cause their heart to rupture and die of fright on the spot.

But to him, it was nothing. With a thought, his stamina immediately calmed down, like the clear water in an ancient well, unaffected by the fierce storm outside, immovably serene.

A moment later, the heart-pounding reaction disappeared, followed by a silence as if he was locked in a pitch-black room, or watching a rural horror film alone in an abandoned haunted house.

Intense panic spread over his heart, chilling him to the bone.

Knowing it was the emotional fluctuation caused by the pill, Zhang Xuan controlled his Love Destiny, pulling it gently.

Whoosh!

Countless strands of Heavenly Mandate Vitality from the River of Destiny of Blue Cloud Venerable were extracted and surged into his body. The Buddha’s light shone, dispelling all gloom in an instant.

Then, irritation, tension, fear, anger… various emotions kept assaulting him, each time causing his heart to throb violently. However, after each violent throb, a trace of Medicine Power would seep into it, nourishing it.

After over a dozen types of panic-inducing emotions, his wildly throbbing heart began to calm down and grow stronger;each beat became slower and more powerful, rhythmic.

It was as if within a short time, he had become significantly stronger and his blood flow had sped up.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xuan felt his Strength nearly double, and he had become keener, with faster reactions.

“What a potent medicinal effect…” Zhang Xuan was astonished.

This was just one of the nine pills, and less than a quarter at that. How powerful must the fully created pill be?

No wonder it’s said that after taking it, one has the chance to solidify the Eternal Heart—it seems truly possible!

Soon, all the Medicine Power was Forged, and Zhang Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air, slowly lifting his head.

“How is it?”

Seeing that he was indeed fine, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but look over, curious.

Not just him, everyone around, including the Crown Prince, also wanted to hear what he could say.

“This medicine…”

Recalling the sensation just now, Zhang Xuan remarked with a sense of awe: “Quite strong!”

The crowd glanced at each other, each with their own puzzled look.

Jiang Li especially, was speechless for a moment.

Was he treating this once-in-an-eternity, peerless pill as if it were fine wine?
