146: Chapter 146 The Primordial Elixir God, the Elixir's Completion Shocks the World

Ever since Li Xuan conferred the title of Consort Dan upon Dan Xin, the Saintess of the Alchemy Department from the Central Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Court's Alchemy Department had changed completely.

Golden and resplendent? Gone.

Swirling with Immortal Qi? Also gone.

All day long, it drifted with a rich medicinal fragrance.

The scent wasn't singular; it was constantly changing.

At times it resembled snow lotus, at others fire ganoderma, and sometimes it was like fresh, new sprouts.

Taking a breath around the Alchemy Department would purify one's immortal essence by a few degrees, and old injuries and hidden illnesses would quietly heal.

The scene inside the Alchemy Department left Immortals who saw it for the first time gaping in shock.

The flowers, plants, and trees in the palace—whether common potted plants or Spirit Medicine planted by Dan Lingzi—had all undergone astonishing mutations.

It was as if they had been infused with the soul of the Dao of alchemy.

Leaves naturally grew with pill patterns.

When flowers bloomed, the dew they condensed was liquid Medicinal Pill.

The osmanthus tree outside Consort Dan's bedchamber was no longer bearing osmanthus flowers.

Instead, it was bearing fingernail-sized "Spirit-Focusing Moonflower Pills" that emitted a soft light.

The source of all this pointed to the unborn child in Consort Dan's womb.

Since becoming pregnant with Li Xuan's heir, Dan Xin's own "Alchemy Cauldron Holy Body" had been fully activated.

She felt her connection to all herbs and Medicinal Pill between heaven and earth reach an unprecedented Realm.

She didn't even need to Cultivate; her attainments in the Dao of alchemy improved by leaps and bounds through her communication with the fetus.

Today was the day of the ten-month gestation, the day the fruit was ripe and fell.

The morning in the Heavenly Court should have been filled with purple clouds coming from the east.

But today, a strange rhythm spread out from the Alchemy Department.

Hum.

It was as if the most ancient string in the Universe had been plucked.

In the medicine gardens throughout the Heavenly Court, billions upon billions of Spirit Medicine and Immortal Plant—whether they were seedlings that had just broken through the soil or towering medicine trees that had grown for hundreds of thousands of years—stopped growing in unison.

All their branches, leaves, flowers, and roots turned toward the same direction: the direction of the Alchemy Department.

Slowly, they bowed their heads piously, as if paying homage to their supreme monarch.

"What... what is going on? My Three-Leaf Soul-Returning Grass, it... it... it knelt down?"

A Golden Immortal guarding the medicine garden rubbed his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"It's more than just kneeling! Look at that short-tempered Nine-Yang Hegemonic Body Flower; it's as obedient as a grandson now!"

Commotion erupted in the medicine garden.

But this was only the beginning.

The next moment, inside the Medicinal Pill storehouse of the Alchemy Department, countless jade bottles and treasure boxes buzzed and vibrated incessantly.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

One by one, the Medicinal Pill sealed by Restriction—whether they were healing pills or Spirit Medicine-level Divine Pill—seemed to come alive.

They crashed frantically against their containers, wanting to rush out and fly toward the Alchemy Department.

That longing and submission were about to become tangible.

Dan Lingzi stood at the entrance of the Alchemy Department. As the artifact spirit incarnation of the Eight Trigrams Pill Furnace, he had the keenest sense for the Dao of alchemy.

At this moment, he was trembling with excitement, pointing at the sky, his lips quivering, unable to speak a complete sentence for a long time.

"Ten Thousand Medicines Homage! This is the supreme omen that only appears in legends when the Ancestor of the Dao of alchemy descends to the world!"

Before his words faded, an even more magnificent scene descended with a boom.

Rumble.

A vast torrent of medicinal power surged into the sky from the Alchemy Department without warning.

It was not ordinary energy, but a long river formed by the essence of billions of Medicinal Pill, the Origin of Earthly Spiritual Root, and the supreme Law of the Dao of alchemy.

A colorful, dazzling River of Alchemy.

The River of Alchemy surged mightily, rolling against the Nine Heavens, crashing straight toward the eternal sun in the firmament.

At first, the sun's radiance could resist.

But after only three breaths, the brilliant sun that illuminated billions of miles had its light completely obscured by this magnificent River of Alchemy.

The River of Alchemy pierced the sun.

The entire Heavenly Court Realm was shrouded in the seven-colored halo emitted by the River of Alchemy, turning into a dreamlike kingdom of Medicinal Pill and life.

All living beings bathed in this light, regardless of their cultivation level, felt as if they were soaking in the warmest source of life from the beginning of the Universe.

Cultivation Bottlenecks were loosening.

Immortal bodies were evolving.

Lifespan was skyrocketing.

"Waa!"

A baby's cry that resounded through the world echoed from the Alchemy Department.

That cry held no trace of a newborn's frailty; instead, it was filled with an aura of perfection and natural Dao charm.

It was like the first pill-cry emitted by an incredibly high-grade supreme Divine Pill when it left the furnace.

As this pill-cry rang out, the River of Alchemy above the Nine Heavens began to rotate and shrink violently.

All medicinal power, all Law, and all life Origin collapsed rapidly toward a single point.

In a moment, the sky-covering River of Alchemy vanished without a trace.

Replacing it was a pill the size of a dragon's eye, suspended at the peak of the Nine Heavens.

It was entirely Chaos-colored, wreathed in nine-colored divine light.

As soon as it appeared, the three thousand Daos resonated, and millions of Law trembled.

A supreme pill fragrance, originating from the source of life and the beginning of the Universe, permeated the air.

All the Immortals who smelled the fragrance couldn't help but have a name appear in their minds: Innate Grandmist Creation Pill.

Just as this supreme Divine Pill, which would make an Immortal Emperor jealous, took shape, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared above the firmament.

No thunder, no fire.

Patches of gray, withered, and decaying Tribulation clouds appeared out of thin air, covering the Divine Pill in an instant.

Inside the Tribulation clouds, gray winds blew—the "Winds of Extinction" that could rot the daluo dao fruit of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Black rain fell—the "Black Rain of Melting Dao" that could dissolve the body of an Immortal King.

This was a Pill Tribulation that surpassed Lightning Tribulation and Fire Tribulation.

It was born specifically to destroy those Heaven-Defying Medicinal Pill that should not exist in the world.

"Not good!" Dan Lingzi exclaimed in shock.

"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor! This kind of Pill Tribulation has power comparable to the Grand Unity Disaster of Extinction. We must not let it fall, otherwise, the Foundation of the Heavenly Court will be destroyed in an instant!"

Everyone's heart hung in the air, staring fixedly at the changes in the sky.

But as the center of all this, inside the Alchemy Department, Li Xuan, holding the newborn, still wore that calm smile.

He looked down at the pink, tender little guy in his arms, who was curiously opening a pair of bright black eyes, with stars seemingly flowing in the depths of his pupils.

He asked dotingly, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat that candy bean in the sky?"

The newborn baby seemed to understand his words.

He blinked, looked at the Divine Pill in the sky, then at the Tribulation clouds emitting an annoying aura. His little mouth pouted, seemingly very unhappy.

This baby, who had been born less than a quarter of an hour ago, opened his little mouth and took a light breath toward the sky.

Whoosh!

An invisible suction force was generated out of thin air.

The "Innate Grandmist Creation Pill" suspended above the Nine Heavens, which was capable of triggering a Pill Tribulation, didn't even put up a fight. It turned into a streak of light and was sucked precisely into the baby's mouth with a whoosh.

Smack, smack.

The baby smacked his lips, as if tasting a delicious candy bean, a satisfied expression appearing on his little face.

Then, he seemed to feel it wasn't enough, puffed out his cheeks, and burped at the Pill Tribulation clouds in the sky that were preparing to unleash world-destroying power.

"Burp~"

A milky-sounding burp.

A white air current, carrying the lingering charm of the "Innate Grandmist Creation Pill" and a trace of the "Grandmist Pill God" aura that the baby was born with—which transcended all Daos—drifted slowly toward the Tribulation clouds.

And then...

The terrifying Pill Tribulation clouds, capable of destroying everything, seemed to encounter their monarch the moment they touched this burp. Filled with fear, they immediately began to tremble violently.

All the power of extinction and decay within them dissipated completely in the blink of an eye.

The next second, the entire Tribulation cloud simply, obediently, dispersed on its own.

It wasn't broken.

It retreated voluntarily and respectfully.

As if saying: "Big Boss, enjoy your meal; this little brother dares not disturb you. Goodbye."

The sky brightened again.

The Pill Tribulation came quickly and went even faster.

The entire Heavenly Court became unusually quiet.

All the Immortals froze in place. Some Immortal officials didn't even notice the jade tablet in their hands fall to the ground with a clatter. Some old Immortal Lords subconsciously plucked out a few of their own whiskers. Everyone looked up, their Divine Soul seemingly hooked away by the scene just now.

Swallowed a Divine Pill in one gulp?

Scared away a Heavenly Tribulation with a burp?

This... is this really a cub of the Human Race?!

In Li Xuan's mind, the System's notification sound, which was excited to the point of distortion, rang out as expected.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host on the birth of your eleventh heir!]

[Ding! It is the combination of the Grandmist Pill Source and the Alchemy Cauldron Holy Body, catalyzed by your Chaos Bloodline, giving birth to the unique [Grandmist Pill God Body] (Quasi-Immortal Emperor potential)!]

[Ding! It is naturally the Dominator of the Dao of alchemy, the Emperor of all medicines, possessing the power of command, and having the Dao follow its words!]

[Ding! Detected that the Host has successfully continued the Heaven-Defying Bloodline. Reward the Host: Supreme Treasure of the Dao of alchemy — [Grandmist Creation Cauldron]! Reward the Host: Cultivation improved, promoted to the Late Stage of the Golden Immortal Realm!]

Boom!

Li Xuan's aura surged continuously, his daluo dao fruit became even more brilliant, and his control over the ten thousand Daos reached a higher level.

"Hahahaha!"

Holding his son who was smacking his lips in his arms, he finally let out a triumphant laugh.

He looked at Dan Xin, who was still in shock and hadn't recovered, and said softly, "You've worked hard, my beloved Consort."

Subsequently, he loudly announced to the baby in his arms, "You live up to the name of the Dao of alchemy, born as a god!"

"From now on, you shall be called... Li Danchen!"

The baby Li Danchen seemed to understand his father's words and giggled.

He turned his head, looked at his mother Dan Xin, whose aura was still somewhat weak, stretched out his chubby little hand, and pointed into the air toward his mother.

A Grandmist life Origin, a hundred times more condensed than the River of Alchemy from earlier, shot from his fingertip and merged into Dan Xin's body.

Dan Xin felt a warm current surge through her entire body, and all the weakness brought about by childbirth was swept away.

She could feel her Alchemy Cauldron Holy Body undergoing a transformation, its potential increasing tenfold out of thin air.

A certain Bottleneck in the Dao of alchemy that had plagued her for many years shattered at the sound.

"This... this..."

Feeling the changes in her body, and looking at the son who was giggling at her, tears of happiness and shock finally couldn't help but slide down her cheeks.

And Li Xuan, watching this scene, had already started to calculate.

With such a Heaven-Defying son, could Emperor-grade Medicinal Pill, which he hadn't even dared to think about before, be eaten like meals?
