Reminiscing the past

Regardless of whether it was for Ecstasy Child or Extinction Supreme, the immense sense of disparity they felt, having fallen from their former glory to their current predicament, was bound to be difficult to eliminate in a short period of time.

During their days in Phoenix Feather Sect, they constantly felt a sense of torment.

Every day they spent there, they felt as if they were in Hell.

As the saying goes, people's joys and sorrows are not interconnected.

The place they felt was like Hell, for some, was like Heaven.

On Pill Refinement Peak!

A Pill Furnace, over a hundred feet tall, stood majestically at the peak.

Around the large Pill Furnace, there were also thousands of smaller Pill Furnaces, ranging from several feet to several tens of feet in size.

This was the main base of the entire Pill Refinement Peak.

It was also the production base for Innocent Pill.

Moreover, it was the supply hub for the Spirit Pills needed for the cultivation of all the Disciples in Phoenix Feather Sect.

And Pill Refinement Peak now gathered over a thousand Alchemists.

These Alchemists were all original Alchemists from Phoenix Feather Sect or other forces in the Chaotic Land.

Now, they have basically all been absorbed into Pill Refinement Peak.

Under the collective efforts of the thousand Alchemists, as a new batch of Spirit Pills was produced, Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian exchanged glances, feeling an immense sense of satisfaction.

For the two of them, their greatest pursuit in this life was nothing more than to achieve something in the Dao of Alchemy.

And now, their master, Zhong Qing, provided them with a platform they had never dared to dream of before.

On Pill Refinement Peak, there were many pavilions for Alchemists to rest.

At this moment, with the end of a new round of Alchemy tasks.

The two entered a green-eaved pavilion built with ancient red and green wood, sipping wine, gazing at the distant clear spring waterfall, reminiscing about the past, and envisioning the future.

Such days, for the two of them, were truly fulfilling to the extreme.

At this moment, Wu Yue, dressed in a black robe and noticeably rounder, drained the wine in his hand.

He sighed with emotion, saying, "I never thought in this life that we would achieve what we have today!"

"Isn't that right?"

Shi Xiaotian stroked his long beard.

His face was full of smiles, and his eyes held a hint of reminiscence.

"In the Eastern Domain, we two were considered quite accomplished in Alchemy.

"But that place was too small; for the entire Central Continent, it was like the deep sea versus a shallow beach."

"Here, I feel like I've truly found my stage, found the value of my life."

Although their cultivation was low, their Alchemy attainments were not shallow.

With the Dan Yuan Emperor Scripture given to them by Zhong Qing, their Alchemy attainments were completely incomparable to what they were before.

Even looking at the current Phoenix Feather Sect, the two of them were core members and Soul figures among the Alchemists.

If the credit for successfully refining a Heaven-Defying Medicinal Pill like Innocent Pill were divided into ten parts, Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian accounted for at least four parts of the credit.

Under the scorching sun, as the two reminisced about their past choices and present encounters, they felt fortunate and also marveled at the wonder of fate.

Who would have thought that they had only followed Zhong Qing for a few short years?

Not only could they escape the small pond cage of the Eastern Domain, but they could also enter the Central Continent, which people yearned for.

And discuss the Dao of Alchemy with a group of experienced Alchemists, refining one extraordinary Medicinal Pill after another that surpassed all others.

This kind of achievement was something they never dared to dream of before.

Just as the two were talking grandly.

The Sweeping Old Woman, who was sweeping fallen leaves in the corridor of a pavilion not far away, caught their attention.

For the entire Pill Refinement Peak now, the Burning Fire Child and the Sweeping Old Woman could be said to be quite unique existences.

According to the people who brought them, these two were Supreme Realm powerhouses.

Because they intended to harm Phoenix Feather Sect, their cultivation was sealed, and they were sent here for labor reform as punishment.

Every time Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian saw the Sweeping Old Woman and the Burning Fire Child, they had a surreal feeling.

Supreme Realm powerhouses!

For them, these were figures of immense importance.

If they hadn't followed Zhong Qing in this life, they probably wouldn't have had any interaction with such great figures until they died of old age.

But now, such people were actually cleaning for them.

This feeling was quite thought-provoking.

What made Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian even more emotional was that they, along with the Burning Fire Child and the Sweeping Old Woman, had surprisingly similar experiences.

Recalling those years.

Shi Xiaotian wanted to refine a Heaven-Mending Pill, but he was missing a Spirit Medicine. Later, he found out that the Spirit Medicine was in Zhong Qing's hands, so he went directly to try and snatch it.

He then directly became Zhong Qing's guinea pig.

Thinking of that period of experience, Shi Xiaotian still had a slight shadow over him now.

Later, Wu Yue, to save him, also became deeply entangled.

This led to the series of audacious actions where the two later pledged allegiance to Zhong Qing, completely losing their integrity.

In this old woman, they seemed to see their former selves.

Wu Yue drank a cup of wine.

He said to Extinction Supreme, "Your Excellency, you've been on Pill Refinement Peak for some time now. How about we chat?"

Hearing this, Extinction Supreme, holding a broom, coldly looked up at him.

A hint of sadness flashed in her heart.

An ant who wasn't even in the Tianxuan Realm, who previously didn't even have the qualifications to meet her.

Now, the other party was looking at her with a condescending attitude, mocking her.

It truly was a Dragon trapped in a shallow pond being played with by shrimp, a tiger fallen to flat ground being bullied by dogs.

She remained silent, continuing to sweep the fallen leaves.

Although she was in distress now, she wasn't someone that just any cat or dog could talk to.

Wu Yue didn't care about Extinction Supreme's indifferent attitude.

He nodded disinterestingly.

"Alright, I originally wanted to give you some pointers."

"But since Your Excellency doesn't wish to talk, just pretend I didn't say anything!"

Shi Xiaotian, seeing this, laughed heartily.

"Old Wu, don't look at her current predicament; her spirit is still high."

"You asked for it, didn't you!"

"Not everyone can be as sensible as us, capable of a magnificent transformation from a prisoner to a core member of the Sect."

As he spoke, he looked at Extinction Supreme as if to show off.

Clearly, he was saying this on purpose.

His brother had kindly reminded her, but she ignored him.

Even showing disgust and disdain.

He had clearly seen the hint of disgust in her eyes.

Shi Xiaotian just couldn't understand.

Undeniably, you were very powerful before.

Someone not on our level.

But now, you're a prisoner.

What's there to be arrogant about?

As expected.

As soon as he said this.

Extinction Supreme's eyes flickered.

Her formerly indifferent face showed a hint of surprise and astonishment.

"You two? Were you also captured by Phoenix Feather Sect?"

Shi Xiaotian chuckled.

"Not by Phoenix Feather Sect, but by the current master of Phoenix Feather Sect."

As he spoke, he had a self-satisfied look.

Evidently, he didn't see this experience as a disgrace, but rather as another glorious chapter in his life.

After all.

Who was their Peak Master?

He was someone who had subdued the entire Eastern Domain and Northern Domain, and in the Central Continent, he had established an immortal foundation, an existence capable of subduing even Intercepting Heaven Sect, one of the five strongest forces in the Void Domain.

Being captured by such a person was not shameful.

Instead, it was something he could brag about for a lifetime.

Extinction Supreme saw this.

Her eyes clearly flashed with several strands of astonishment and disbelief.

"Just you two? Are you even worth the Phoenix Feather Sect Master capturing?"

In her heart.

She clearly didn't believe it.

What kind of existence was Phoenix Feather Sect?

She had learned about it from Ecstasy Child.

It was a Supreme Sect that could cultivate Innate Dao Body on a large scale.

Within the Sect, there were even Saint Realm powerhouses overseeing it.

The strength of the Sect Master of such a terrifying Sect, what terrifying and unfathomable level must it have reached?

Yet now, two ants who weren't even in the Tianxuan Realm actually claimed to have been captured by the Phoenix Feather Sect Master.

Were these two ants even worth the Phoenix Feather Sect Master personally taking action?

Isn't this a joke?
