526: Chapter 526 Reincarnation Cave Heaven, Nine Heavens Dragon and Phoenix Pill

"Let us go. Rou Niang's transformation will be a long process. We have done everything we can; the rest depends on her own destiny."

Hun Tiandi spoke slowly as he looked at Rou Niang, who was wrapped in the holy flower atop the Yin-Yang Creation Pool.

A trace of worry flickered in the depths of Mei Niang's eyes.

Shortly after, the two left the Nether Small World and appeared within the Star Palace.

"The Snake-people Tribe has just arrived at the Dazheng Dynasty and needs you, their Queen, to oversee things. I will be returning to the Central Plains in a few days," Hun Tiandi said.

"Alright!" Mei Niang didn't say much and left as requested.

After Mei Niang left, Princess Nian Youyou walked in from outside, looking at Hun Tiandi with a face full of resentment.

"You're going back to the Central Plains? I'm going too!" Princess Nian Youyou pouted her small mouth, acting coquettishly.

"Mm, we'll go together this time. Princess Nian Youyou has been busy ever since she took charge of the Darong Chamber of Commerce and hasn't rested yet. This time, consider it a vacation!"

Hun Tiandi said with a look of heartache.

"Let's go and see the headquarters of the Nether Sect. Mud Bodhisattva has already set the Feng Shui, and construction is nearly complete."

Hun Tiandi smiled and led Princess Nian Youyou away.

The two flew toward a nearby area. It was a place of beautiful mountains and clear waters, incredibly quiet. Countless craftsmen from the Dazheng Ministry of Works were building massive monasteries, waiting for the Nether Sect to move in.

In the center was a huge stone altar with a diameter of a thousand zhang, its purpose unknown.

"This is the headquarters of the Nether Sect?" Princess Nian Youyou asked slowly, her beautiful eyes blinking.

"Yes, it will cultivate countless experts in the future..." Hun Tiandi laughed.

Next, the two arrived at a restricted area of the imperial palace, guarded by countless sentries; no one was allowed to enter.

Entering the valley, they were surrounded by numerous formations and restrictions, clearly indicating it was a place of great importance.

Those close to Hun Tiandi—Elder Dan, Lei Xuanji, Princess Nian Youyou, and the rest—were already gathered there, all looking at a massive cave halfway up the mountain.

The cave entrance emitted a jade-green light, and faintly, illusions of countless peerless beauties could be seen flying out from within.

It was as if the inside of the cave was another world entirely.

"Your Majesty, the Derivative Realm has been successfully established," Mud Bodhisattva said respectfully.

"Mm. Have the seals on the heavenly demon jade statues been completely undone?" Hun Tiandi asked.

"They have. The illusions of the Heavenly Demon Pool were too powerful; if not for the assistance of Elder Dan and the Supreme Ao Sihai, it wouldn't have been so successful."

"Furthermore, almost all the major treasures of my Mud Bodhisattva lineage have been exhausted within the Derivative Realm," Mud Bodhisattva said with a helpless, bitter smile.

"Major treasures? Whatever you invest today, you will reap a hundredfold or thousandfold in the future!"

Hun Tiandi gave a solemn promise; an Emperor's word was worth a thousand gold.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mud Bodhisattva nodded.

"Does this Derivative Realm have a name?" Hun Tiandi asked.

"It has not been named yet. Please bestow a name upon it, Your Majesty!" Mud Bodhisattva said.

Hun Tiandi gave Mud Bodhisattva a surprised look. Had he learned how to flatter now?

"Since one can undergo a hundred cycles of reincarnation, let it be called the Samsara Cave!" Hun Tiandi said in a deep voice.

"Yes, it shall be called the Samsara Cave!" Mud Bodhisattva said firmly.

"What needs to be noted about this?" Hun Tiandi asked.

"Normally, the effect is best the first time. It consists of a total of a hundred reincarnations, tempering one's mind and refining one's mental state within those hundred lives."

"Once a deviation occurs in one's mental state, they will be rejected and expelled from the Samsara Cave."

"The longer one persists the first time, the better the effect. The more reincarnations experienced, the greater the harvest!" Mud Bodhisattva explained.

"Has anyone tried it yet?" Hun Tiandi asked.

"This humble official has tried it once and only experienced eighty-one reincarnations!" Mud Bodhisattva said truthfully.

Eighty-one reincarnations? That meant experiencing birth, aging, sickness, and death eighty-one times. Hun Tiandi looked at Mud Bodhisattva strangely; no wonder he had learned to flatter.

He must have realized many things through those eighty-one cycles.

"Hun Tiandi, this is..." Princess Nian Youyou said with a face full of wonder.

Samsara Cave? A hundred cycles of reincarnation?

As Mud Bodhisattva explained it once, Princess Nian Youyou's eyes sparkled. This actually enhanced one's mental state and wisdom.

It was stronger than any medicinal pill, many times over.

"I brought you here today so you would know of this place. In the future, when there is an opportunity, you shall enter!" Hun Tiandi said solemnly.

Princess Nian Youyou suppressed the curiosity in her heart and nodded.

The Northern Region, the Imperial Capital of the Great Yan Empire.

The Lord of Great Yan, dressed in dragon robes, sat upon the main seat. His entire body radiated a violent aura as he looked at the civil and military officials below with anger.

"Your Majesty, the Dazheng Dynasty has already conquered half of our empire's territory. This official suggests we immediately seek aid from the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty."

A white-haired old man said respectfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we officials concur!" the officials said respectfully.

On the dragon throne, the Great Yan Emperor's hands clenched until they creaked, suppressing the anger in his heart. These damned subordinates.

Once they sought help from the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty, Great Yan would never be able to escape their control.

"Don't even think about it. My Imperial Father spent his whole life striving to break free from their control; I absolutely cannot destroy his life's work."

"Dismissed!" With a flick of his sleeve, the Great Yan Emperor turned and left.

"Old Bai, what do we do now? Our army has suffered continuous setbacks. This Yun Xiao is too formidable. If this continues, our army will be in peril."

A strategist said worriedly.

"What are you panicking for? The outcome is not yet decided. If you continue to shake military morale, you will be dealt with by military law!" Old Bai's eyes shifted.

The strategist said no more.

"Mr. Bai, it's not that we are shaking morale, but the Dazheng Dynasty's army is truly miraculous in its maneuvers. In less than five years, this tiny dynasty has actually amassed such military power."

"Their two legion commanders are also formidable. One is a peerless fierce general, and the other uses troops like a god in battles against our empire."

"At the same time, they are fighting against four Great Empires and yet they still hold a strong advantage. It's as if they have been planning this for a very long time."

"General Ye Wudi, Yun Xiao, Mr. Corpse Soul, and Wang Ku—every one of them is a talent."

"Don't worry. It hasn't reached the final moment yet; the outcome is undecided!" Mr. Bai said firmly.

"Mr. Bai, if you have a solution... if this continues, even our empire's morale will become an issue!" a strategist said.

"Let me think!" Mr. Bai waved his hand.

At the Dazheng Empire, in the Star Palace, Hun Tiandi had arranged everything and was preparing to return to the Central Plains.

"Huang Xuan, these are the pills Feng Qing'er requested. Take them back to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan immediately and hand them to Feng Qing'er personally!"

Hun Tiandi took out two jade bottles. Inside were the pills corresponding to the mid-grade and high-grade bloodline secret techniques of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

Mid-grade bloodline secret technique: Three-Tripod Returning Origin Pill.

High-grade bloodline secret technique: nine heavens dragon phoenix pill.

After returning to the Dazheng Empire, Hun Tiandi had given the two bloodline secret techniques to Liu Ling and Elder Dan respectively, and they had each refined the Three-Tripod Returning Origin Pill and the nine heavens dragon phoenix pill.

The nine heavens dragon phoenix pill, in particular, was refined by Elder Dan by fusing Heavenly Demon Phoenix essence blood and Void Ancient Dragon Essence Blood, along with over a thousand types of natural treasures.

On the day the pill was completed, nine-colored Black Demon Lightning fell from the sky, and the pill was refined through the lightning tribulation.

This nine heavens dragon phoenix pill surpassed a high-grade Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill and reached the level of a half-step Grade 9 Profound Pill.

This was likely due to the two supreme essence bloods of the magical beast clans, combined with Elder Dan's superb alchemy skills.

When Elder Dan learned it was being refined for Feng Qing'er, who was pregnant, he was very happy. This time, in refining the pill, he had truly displayed his greatest skills.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Huang Xuan will definitely deliver them to the Clan Leader personally!" Huang Xuan gave a respectful bow and placed the two jade bottles into his storage ring.

He bowed slightly and then withdrew from the Star Palace, heading toward the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan in the Central Plains.
