25: One herb, and the elixir of immortality is in hand.

"I lack sufficient strength right now, and precious treasures like Immortal Gold are useless to me. Treasures that aid in Cultivation and Foundation Establishment are my top priority!"

"Consolidating the Divine Palace requires Vicious Beast essence blood, and opening the Xiantai requires Vicious Beast divine souls. Let me see if there's anything suitable here."

"With such a vast array of treasures here, there might even be immortal beast essence blood and divine souls!"

Immortal Beasts possess noble Bloodlines. Once they reach adulthood, even the weakest among them are peak existences in the Great Saint Realm with unfathomable strength. There are even legends from many eras of Immortal Beasts contending with Great Emperors.

Xu Jinhuan would find it nearly impossible to find the essence blood and divine souls of such powerhouses in the outside world.

Only Taiyi Holy Land has a mysterious origin; perhaps they truly have some in stock.

Xu Jinhuan's Divine Sense began scanning the starry sky, searching for traces of relevant treasures.

Soon, he reached the depths of the star river. The surrounding stars were incredibly brilliant, and the treasures preserved within them were immensely precious.

Walking through the endless stars, he finally stopped before a brilliant star, sweat pouring from his body.

The star was brilliant to the extreme, yet it wasn't hot itself because it was an illusion—a manifestation of the treasure's sealing Formation.

At the center of the star, a drop of golden blood floated quietly, emitting a suffocating and terrifying pressure.

In the center of the blood, a Three-Legged Golden Crow was pulsing.

Noble, scorching, looking down upon all!

This was the immortal beast essence blood Xu Jinhuan had been searching for!

And it was golden crow essence blood!

The Golden Crow, one of the top ancient Immortal Beasts, possessed extreme speed, commanded fire, and had a powerful Physical Body. It was worshipped as a god by ancient ancestors.

If he could achieve Fusion, it would be of immense benefit to Xu Jinhuan's Divine Palace!

Without hesitation, Xu Jinhuan immediately manipulated the runes, undid the Restriction, and collected the golden crow essence blood.

Shortly after, he found two other treasures suitable for him.

"Kunpeng essence blood!"

"Qilin divine soul!"

Xu Jinhuan's three opportunities were instantly exhausted.

Looking at the top-tier Immortal Treasures nearby, he felt a bit of regret.

"It seems I must continue to work hard and become stronger, becoming a true number zero sequence.

By then, the entire treasury will be at my disposal."

Painfully averting his gaze, Xu Jinhuan continued forward, walking into the depths of the star river and arriving at a mysterious space.

Chaos was hazy here. Beneath his feet was solid ground teeming with life. Even the air carried a sweet fragrance that made one want to sleep.

But such a pleasant environment made Xu Jinhuan shiver, his heart feeling uneasy.

"My Eternal Chaos Body is warning me that if I fall asleep here, I might never wake up!"

Instantly, Xu Jinhuan guessed the culprit behind this warning.

"It seems this is where my immortal medicine is located."

Looking around, his golden and black pupils overlapped, with dense ancient runes flowing within them.

Finally, Xu Jinhuan saw a blade of grass—a common blade of grass, the kind that would be completely inconspicuous in the wild.

But this single blade of grass contained the supreme Law of immortality, with surging energy sufficient to make a God Realm powerhouse explode and die.

It was precisely the mysterious Dao rhyme on this grass that made him break into a cold sweat and his scalp tingle.

If not for the Formation's suppression, he might truly have slept here forever!

"It seems my decision not to extract the white tiger undying immortal medicine immediately was correct!"

Xu Jinhuan felt fortunate.

If a common immortal medicine is so fierce, wouldn't something with the word 'Immortal' in its name be able to destroy heaven and earth?

"But looking at it this way, the day I extract the undying immortal medicine is still far off..."

Sighing, Xu Jinhuan stepped forward and reached out.

He grabbed the blade of grass with unerring accuracy.

Suddenly, everything began to collapse. The lush green meadow vanished, and the dense forest disappeared without a trace.

The space returned to Chaos.

Everything had been nothing more than an illusion manifested by the immortal medicine.

As the immortal medicine entered his hand, Xu Jinhuan felt a sharp pain in his palm.

The immortal medicine was fighting back, attempting to escape.

Xu Jinhuan frowned slightly, and the Chaos Power within him erupted, instantly crushing all of the immortal medicine's counterattacks and attempts.

However, this stubborn blade of grass was still struggling.

Helplessly, he could only further activate the Eternal Chaos Body.

"Eternal Power!"

This was the highest level of power he had cultivated so far, only a single wisp, ten times thinner than a strand of hair.

However, this single wisp of power was heavier than a mountain and more terrifying than all of Xu Jinhuan's Divine Abilities combined!

This was one of the innate Divine Abilities of the Eternal Chaos Body.

"Eternal Power!"

Faced with the incredibly powerful and mountain-heavy Eternal Power, the immortal medicine immediately settled down.

It even actively entered Xu Jinhuan's Dantian, taking root in his Divine Palace and drawing Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Sea as nourishment.

Such a diligent attitude gave him the illusion that he was looking at a simp.

"?"

This scene left Xu Jinhuan a bit bewildered.

"What is this? A wise man submits to circumstances? The making of a simp immortal medicine?"

"Or does my body have something this fellow needs?"

Confused, Xu Jinhuan temporarily put the matter aside and returned the way he came.

He had taken the immortal beast essence blood and divine soul, and the immortal medicine had been subdued. With everything perfectly accomplished, he headed home!

Taking leave of the Taiyi Holy Lord, Xu Jinhuan and Fang Qingyao departed as streaks of light, covering a thousand miles in an instant as if the horizon was but a step away.

On the spot, the Taiyi Holy Lord watched their departing figures, his eyes flickering with utter shock.

"Already in the Divine Palace Realm so quickly, and with such an incredibly solid Foundation. There isn't the slightest sign of instability in his cultivation; it's terrifying!"

"Compared to this boy's Realm, his combat power is even more frightening. A Divine Palace Realm fighting a Late Stage Heavenly Being Realm—and the opponent was a Prodigy Saint—yet he still crushed them easily."

"As expected of the Immortal King Posture personally acknowledged by the Old Ancestor!"

Thinking of this, the Taiyi Holy Lord became excited.

"As long as nothing happens to this boy, he will definitely reign over the entire Three Thousand Dao Provinces in the future!"

"Hahaha! Taiyi shall prosper! Taiyi shall prosper!"

After laughing wildly for a long time and finally venting his joy, the Taiyi Sect Head shifted his gaze toward Jiang Lianshan's Immortal Cave.

"Speaking of which, it's time to start cleaning up these sneaky rats."

"Hehe, Blood God Palace, Qingrong Hall... did you think our Taiyi Holy Land was completely unaware of such clumsy disguises? We deliberately let your moles in just to play with you!"

"Now that Xu Jinhuan has appeared, there's no need to continue playing along with this group of trash."

...Returning to Eastern Emperor Mountain, Xu Jinhuan immediately went into seclusion to begin refining the two drops of immortal beast essence blood he had just obtained.

Scalding golden blood appeared out of thin air, and the temperature in the room instantly rose by several hundred degrees. Even the air became distorted due to the intense heat.

Xu Jinhuan, who was closest to the golden blood, had countless beads of sweat seeping from his skin, and the moisture in his body evaporated rapidly.

This single drop of blood actually brought him temperatures of several thousand degrees.

golden crow essence blood, how terrifying!

"Refine it for me!"

Xu Jinhuan let out a roar, and the Hundred-thousand-mile Divine Palace appeared out of thin air.
