77: Transform to the Taishi Hunyuan Golden Chapter and advance to the Wanxiang level

As Xiao Zhuo's voice fell, the hall instantly became silent.

Not only Laughing Sword One and the other six Myriad Manifestation Experts, but even Xiao Changkong, who had just stepped through the hall door, all turned to look, their burning gazes filled with intense curiosity.

"Speak," Immortal Master Azure Heaven lightly tapped the armrest of her jade throne with a fingertip, her voice clear and melodious like a mountain stream.

"Junior dares to ask for some Medicinal Pills or Heaven And Earth Treasure that can supplement Qi and blood Origin," Xiao Zhuo said, feigning indifference, then quickly cupped his hands and added, "A Breakthrough is imminent. If I have precious medicine to assist, after my success, it will add a few more points of certainty to the important matter of assisting Immortal Master in Sealing the Demon Abyss."

Immortal Master Azure Heaven's brows raised slightly. The Taiyi Sect's Pill Hall's reserves were vast, like an ocean. Even dragon blood fruit and wisdom seeking fruit, such rare treasures that defied the creation of heaven and earth, had been bestowed. What were mere Qi And Blood Medicinal Pills worth mentioning?

As for the time... she had endured two thousand years of guarding the Demon Abyss, so why would she care about a mere ten days or a month?

"Within the Pill Hall, take as you please." With a flick of her sleeve, Immortal Master Azure Heaven's gaze had already turned to the others, "Fellow Daoists, you may temporarily reside and rest on the guest peak. Later, Disciples will lead the way."

"Thank you, Senior, for your grace!" Everyone responded in unison.

Before their voices faded, Immortal Master Azure Heaven's figure dissipated like a bubble. Several Taiyi Disciples, their Soul Auras profound, silently entered, leading everyone out in an orderly fashion.

Xiao Zhuo lightly tapped the azure jade floor of the hall with his toe, and his figure transformed into a swift streak of light, tearing through the air and rapidly flying towards the Pill Hall.

Passing through the swirling, misty clouds, the Pill Pavilion's distinctive vermilion eaves were already visible in the distance.

Up and down the pavilion, Disciple Soul bodies came and went like weaving threads, yet not a single one turned to look or was distracted by his arrival, as if he were merely a wisp of breeze passing through the Pill Pavilion.

The moment he stepped into the heavily guarded storeroom, a rich, dense medicinal fragrance, so potent it seemed almost corporeal, permeated his lungs, instantly invigorating his spirit!

The sight before him was even more astonishing—within a vast space, countless profound wooden medicine racks were stacked layer upon layer, reaching the dome. The jade bottles and jade boxes displayed on them glowed with a moist luster, radiating various precious lights, illuminating the entire storeroom like a dream.

Points of starlight flickered intensely in Xiao Zhuo's deep eyes.

Xiao Zhuo's Divine Thought spread out like a tide, instantly sweeping across the vast medicine racks, precisely locking onto several Spirit Pills labeled "Solidify Foundation and Cultivate Origin" and "Greatly Supplement Qi and Blood."

After a brief discernment, his gaze firmly fixed on a Medicinal Pill called "Sturdy Blood Pill." This pill, in both its medicinal properties and color, had a similarity of up to ninety percent with the "qi and blood pill" he was familiar with!

Xiao Zhuo even suspected that the qi and blood pill, which circulated in later generations, was very likely a simplified evolution of the Taiyi Sect's Sturdy Blood Pill Pill Formula.

The main ingredient of the qi and blood pill was the flesh and blood of Yao Beasts, specially processed and then refined with various medicinal ingredients.

However, this Sturdy Blood Pill, coming from the Taiyi Sect, was refined before the appearance of Yao Beasts, so its flesh and blood component could naturally not be Yao Beast flesh and blood. It was speculated to be taken from powerful Yao Race members or ancient Yao Beasts.

However, for Xiao Zhuo, who possessed the Devouring Dao Body, there was no essential difference—as long as the medicinal effect was similar, it was good medicine!

The Sturdy Blood Pill belonged to the basic Medicinal Pills in the Taiyi Sect's Dao of alchemy system; its Materials were easy to obtain, and its refining was relatively simple.

The abundance of the reserves was astonishing: Grade 7 Sturdy Blood Pills were piled up like mountains, numbering over a thousand jade bottles; Grade 8 qi and blood pills (or corresponding grade Sturdy Blood Pills) also numbered over three hundred bottles; even the Grade 9 Sturdy Blood Pills, which Xiao Zhuo had never heard of, had a hundred bottles in stock!

Xiao Zhuo's wide sleeves fluttered like clouds. Wherever he passed, the jade bottles and jade boxes labeled "Sturdy Blood Pill" on the wooden racks were all absorbed into his storage space, instantly emptying them! He also unceremoniously collected many other top-grade Spirit Pills labeled with the effect of solidifying the Foundation and cultivating the Origin.

Before leaving, however, he deliberately stopped, taking only about seventy percent of the reserves—after all, the revitalization of the Taiyi Sect required some Foundation to be left behind.

Xiao Zhuo returned fully laden to the secluded residence Immortal Master Azure Heaven had arranged for him, and immediately announced his seclusion.

The goal of this seclusion was clear—to Cultivate the Primordial Chaos Golden Scripture!

This was a Divine-Grade Cultivation Technique, its profoundness and power far surpassing the Nine Revolutions Profound Essence Art!

In terms of the purity and condensation of True Essence alone, the two were similar, but the most terrifying aspect of Primordial True Essence lay in its characteristic of "primordial as one, compatible with all things," which could push the power of any attribute Cultivation Technique to its extreme!

Furthermore, the explosive power contained within the Primordial True Essence itself was a Realm that the Nine Revolutions Profound Essence Art, even when cultivated to the ninth layer and nine revolutions of Perfection, could not hope to match!

Thanks to his surging Comprehension Ability, Xiao Zhuo had already condensed the Qi sense of the Primordial Chaos Golden Scripture and successfully entered the Realm.

At this moment, as his thoughts moved and Attribute Points were consumed, the familiar White Mist Space descended once again.

The majestic and pure Nine Revolutions Profound Essence Art True Essence within Xiao Zhuo's body began to be frantically devoured and transformed by the nascent Primordial True Essence, which carried an Aura like that of Chaos at its beginning!

The Nine Revolutions True Essence was already incomparably pure, and at this moment, it became excellent nourishment for the rapid growth of the Primordial Chaos Golden Scripture!

In just seven "comprehensions," the gaseous True Essence in his Meridians had all transformed into a viscous, mercury-like, golden True Essence liquid that surged like a great river! Each flush brought about a drastic transformation, like shedding one's mortal coil!

Within his Sea of Consciousness, it was even more tumultuous! The seven-colored primordial elixir hummed and vibrated, emitting the sound of the Great Dao! The four solid minor Realm barriers of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, under the impact of this irresistible nascent power, shattered like paper!

The nascent Primordial True Essence, self-condensing in the Sea of Consciousness and Meridians, transformed into tens of thousands of tiny, profound runes! Each rune seemed to contain a trace of terrifying power capable of splitting mountains and breaking rivers, or severing and dividing seas!

With his Realm stabilized, Xiao Zhuo continued without pause, immersing himself in the deeper Profound Truths of the Primordial Chaos Golden Scripture.

Perhaps due to the transformation of his bone structure and the leap in his Aptitude, this process of comprehension was unusually smooth, and the speed of True Essence accumulation far exceeded every previous attribute point allocation!

If one previous comprehension could only increase the Cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Profound Essence Art equivalent to a normal Cultivator's one year of arduous Cultivation, then now, one comprehension of the Primordial Chaos Golden Scripture's Cultivation was equivalent to five years of arduous Cultivation for a normal Cultivator!

The benchmark of "one year of Cultivation" on this panel was clearly based on the Cultivation efficiency of a person with mediocre Aptitude.

Now, Xiao Zhuo's bone structure could rival the Prodigies of his generation, and his Cultivation efficiency was naturally incomparable.

After 121 immersions of mind and soul, and the baptism of Dao rhyme!

"Boom—!"

The eighth layer of the Primordial Chaos Golden Scripture was achieved naturally!

Xiao Zhuo's mind and soul withdrew from the White Mist Space, and the Aura around him erupted like a volcano suppressed for ten thousand years! The True Essence in his body surged, as if endless golden tides were rushing and impacting through his limbs and bones!

In the center of his Sea of Consciousness, the seven-colored primordial elixir had achieved perfect resonance with the vast Sea of Consciousness, as if it had become the core and Dominator of this golden ocean!

Even more astonishing was the transformation of his Divine Thought! The originally streaky, golden Divine Thought had now completely condensed and reorganized, transforming into tiny, incredibly profound golden runes!

The power and spirituality contained in each Divine Thought rune far exceeded that of before by more than ten times! And their total quantity was far beyond what could be imagined at the third Realm of the Sea of Consciousness!

With his official Breakthrough into the Myriad Manifestations Realm, Xiao Zhuo's panel also took on a new look:

Name: Xiao Zhuo.

Race: Human Race.

Physical Body: King Rank Early Stage

Attribute Points: 473534.

On the panel, many Cultivation Techniques practiced in the Early Stages had been folded and hidden. The Nine Revolutions Profound Essence Art was completely replaced by the Primordial Chaos Golden Scripture.

In the characteristics column, "True Essence Enhancement" had changed to "True Essence Smelting," and "Heterogeneous Energy Resistance" had impressively advanced to "Heterogeneous Force Repulsion."

Xiao Zhuo's thoughts stirred slightly, and he opened the entry.

The information displayed: Already immune to 80% of heterogeneous energy invasion.

The Breakthrough in his Divine Soul Realm also meant that the True Explanation of Soul Refining could continue to increase its Cultivation.

At the same time, Xiao Zhuo also successfully cultivated the top-tier secret art that came with the Primordial Chaos Golden Scripture—the Primordial One Qi Art!

The profundity of this secret art lay in its ability to allow Xiao Zhuo to compress and condense all the True Essence in his body in an instant, pouring it all into a single strike!

Of course, he could also control the proportion of True Essence infused. The greatest significance of this art was that it completely removed the upper limit on Xiao Zhuo's attack output!

It should be noted that ordinary Martial Artists, even if their True Essence accumulation was as vast as an abyss or sea, due to the limited endurance and output efficiency of their Meridians and Dantian, the True Essence that could be mobilized for each attack was at most one to two tenths of their total amount.

However, the Primordial One Qi Art allowed Xiao Zhuo to disregard this limit!

It could compress and condense the vast True Essence distributed throughout the body into a single point in an instant, and then unleash it with a thunderous explosion through a secret method!

Even more terrifyingly, when True Essence was released instantly after extreme compression, the power it generated would surge exponentially, far exceeding ten times!

This was the true terror of the Primordial Chaos Golden Scripture as a Divine-Grade Cultivation Technique—not only was its True Essence tempering as pure as the Nine Revolutions Profound Essence Art, but its explosive power far exceeded the latter, and its compatibility was unparalleled in the current era! The name of Divine-Grade was truly deserved!

Of course, the consumption of comprehending a Divine-Grade Cultivation Technique was as terrifying as its reputation; each deep comprehension required a full one thousand Attribute Points!

Xiao Zhuo's previous hard-earned accumulation of over 600,000 Attribute Points in the Cloud Heaven Realm had also sharply shrunk to less than 480,000.

Xiao Zhuo then tried to continue comprehending the Primordial Chaos Golden Scripture, consuming a full 50,000 Attribute Points and undergoing fifty immersions of mind and soul before the True Essence torrent in his body once again broke through the barrier, successfully advancing to the Myriad Manifestations Realm Second Layer!

The core of the Myriad Manifestations Realm lies in re-smelting the Martial Artist's Divine Soul, Physical Body, and Divine Thought into one, reaching the Realm of "body, soul, and thought" united, evolving into myriad manifestations and myriad laws.

When this Realm reaches Perfection, the body is the Soul, the Soul is the thought, and the Physical Body becomes holy, then one can glimpse the opportunity to Shatter the Void Realm!

And now, Xiao Zhuo's blood already contained Divine Thought runes, which was equivalent to prematurely completing a part of the profound Cultivation of "Physical Body Divinization of Divine Thought" that was only required in the Shattering Realm. He just hadn't fully realized how astonishing this prematurely laid Foundation was.

At this moment, Xiao Zhuo scrutinized the remaining Attribute Points on the panel, knowing that these points were insufficient to forcibly push his True Essence Cultivation to the threshold of the Shattering Realm.

He decisively shifted his target, immersing his mind and soul into the equally profound and unfathomable Taiyi Bright Scripture.

He had also successfully entered the Realm of this scripture.

With another thought, Attribute Points surged in like a tide.

Within his Sea of Consciousness, tens of thousands of brilliant stars instantly rose, each star seemingly condensed from ancient scriptures, slowly rotating, emitting a deep and vast Dao rhyme, reflecting endless profound meanings and ultimate truths...
