Chapter 39: The Tranquil Desolate Wasteland

  This great calamity, in the vast expanse of the universe, more than half of the countless living beings have fallen, their corpses scattered all over the fields, wailing and lamenting to the heavens, withered grass and fallen leaves, the setting sun casting a desolate scene. How many sacred mountains and blessed lands were destroyed in this great calamity, everywhere the earth's veins are ravaged by fire and water, the country is flooded, the image of doomsday is so near.

  Time flies like an arrow, and a hundred million years pass in an instant. The desolate wilderness also gradually regained its vitality, with insects chirping, birds and beasts roaming, flowers, grasses, and trees thriving.

  In the past million years, Yang Le successfully recovered the three ferocious beasts with the power of the three demon lords, which were divided into A Da, A Er and A San according to their strength. The recovered ferocious beasts were divided into three teams, each led by one of the three ferocious beasts.

  However, since Yang Le removed the turbid air of extreme yin and killing intent from within the Qiong Beast's nucleus, restoring its divine consciousness, it can no longer be called a Qiong Beast. Calling them Heterogeneous Beasts is more fitting.

  In these million years, Yun Tian and the beauties often came to Xianyang Island for a stroll. Yun Tian felt oppressed in the Wooden Clan, so he often came here to relax. The beauties treated Xianyang Island as a resort, frequently coming to soak in the hot springs. Yang Le was naturally delighted about this and had a good relationship with the beauties. However, Yang Le used to be an otaku and still is now; regarding how to deepen his relationships with them, he was at a loss. Moreover, each of them was a stunning beauty, making it difficult for him to choose.

  "Bang", a muffled sound came from the secret room where Yang Le was closed, and waves of pungent smell wafted out from the roof. The lid of a bronze tripod inside opened, and black smoke rose slowly, while Yang Le sat aside with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

  For nearly a million years, Yang Le had been practicing the "Opening Heaven and Earth Decision", but after reaching the peak of the sixth layer of Town Tian, there was no sign of breakthrough again. Yang Le knew that the next layer would not be so easy to practice, and it would take time to accumulate a strong law boundary before succeeding with one blow.

  Yang Le knew that when he first broke through to the sixth layer and became the true body of Pangu, his mind had wandered to the source of destruction and creation, and he was lucky to have opened up a small passage to absorb infinite destructive power. Those pure destructive powers were the super nourishment for the advancement of Yuanshen's magic knife, and could be said to be a rare encounter.

  Although I tried every means to imagine the scene at that time and try to find a space to break through, but it was repeatedly frustrated, without any progress.

  Yang Le couldn't help but feel a bit disheartened, in the years where his skills couldn't advance in a short period of time, Yang Le started practicing alchemy, which was one of his favorite things to watch on Earth.

  The principle that a worker who wants to do his job well must first sharpen his tools is naturally understood by Yang Le, isn't it said that Laozi used the pre-heaven eight trigrams furnace to refine elixirs?

  Yang Le took out a large pile of rare materials that he had found over the years, including billion-year-old jade essence, hundred-million-year-old deep-sea cold iron, pre-heavenly copper essence from Yun Tian, and Cold Spring Spirit Liquid, which floated in front of him.

  Yang Le's right hand spread out, and the three flavors of true fire burst out, burning fiercely for several feet. As he thought, he continuously threw in pre-heavenly copper essence, deep sea cold iron, jade essence and other materials into the three flavors of true fire. The pre-heavenly copper essence and other materials began to melt under the scorching heat of the three flavors of true fire, and the impurities were constantly being removed as they burned, with wisps of green smoke drifting away.

  After a long period of smoldering, the pile of material had completely melted into a golden-yellow mass the size of a soccer ball, emitting a dazzling golden glow.

  A huge perception was kneading outside that group, constantly changing shape. A small golden tripod with a lid on top and seven holes on the lid, ears on the sides of the tripod, one side of the body of the tripod was carved with the mythological stories of Pangu creating heaven, Nüwa repairing heaven, Fu Xi's eight trigrams, Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs. The other side was carved with birds, beasts, fish, insects, scales, flying birds, flowers, grass and trees.

  Yang Le gazed at the pattern on the tripod's body, and his mind wandered slightly, but he quickly adjusted his mood. The creation knife in his sea of consciousness transformed into Yang Le's appearance, and his primordial spirit rapidly pressed various seal decisions. A series of law arrays were continuously input into the small three-legged tripod, and each time a law array was input, the small three-legged tripod would tremble slightly, as if it were joyful.

  A series of seals and restrictions are circulating within the cauldron walls of a small three-legged tripod, with one seal encircling another, forming an intricate and complex pattern.

  Yang Le spent nine days setting up 1.96 billion array restrictions, each one more complex and mysterious than the last, with the power used to seal them increasing exponentially. By the time he finished the final seal and threw it into the three-legged cauldron, Yang Le's face had turned pale and his body was somewhat shriveled.

  Yang Le still gritted his teeth and squeezed out a drop of semen into the exit.

  A joyful "hum" sound, the golden three-legged small tripod surrounded Yang Le and rotated, feeling the joy of rebirth.

  Looking at the three-legged small tripod that was full of spirituality, Yang Le couldn't help but smile, feeling that it was worth pouring half his heart and soul into. As soon as he had just refined it, it became a top-grade spiritual treasure, only one step away from becoming a postnatal spiritual treasure.

  Lingbao is divided into lower-grade Lingbao (initial entry into Lingbao), middle-grade Lingbao, upper-grade Lingbao, and extreme-grade Lingbao.

  The Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure is also divided into Lower Grade Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure, Middle Grade Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure, Upper Grade Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure and Supreme Grade Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure.

  This spiritual treasure and the acquired spiritual treasure have spirituality inside, can absorb the surrounding spiritual energy to fight on their own, and the master does not need or consumes very little spiritual power to drive it. If the spiritual treasure or the acquired spiritual treasure is damaged, it can automatically absorb spiritual energy to repair itself.

  Moreover, Lingbao and Hou Tian Lingbao can grow and advance due to their spiritual nature. For example, a Mo Zun cultivates a piece of Lingbao-grade magic equipment, which belongs to the lower grade of Lingbao. If it is constantly nourished and supplemented with a large amount of corresponding energy, it can completely grow into a middle-grade Lingbao in tens of millions of years.

  Of course, the promotion of Lingbao and Hou Tianlingbao relies on long-term grinding to grow up. Especially for the two levels of Lingbao's promotion to Hou Tianlingbao and Hou Tianlingbao's promotion to Hou Tianzhizhen, without a reversal of fate and a long period of time, it is unattainable. The promotion from Lingbao to Hou Tianlingbao is relatively easier to succeed, while the promotion from Hou Tianlingbao to Hou Tianzhizhen is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

  Then Yang Le began his alchemy career.

  As a newcomer, Yang Le first started refining some of the simplest dan medicines. The required medicinal materials were all low-grade yellow products, which could be seen and harvested everywhere in the vast Xianyao Island.

  Yang Le's first pill to refine was the Zhu Ji Dan, which is used by ordinary people who have just started practicing cultivation. It can wash the marrow and replace it with a new one, removing the acquired body and returning to the innate body, so as to respond to the spiritual energy and breathe in and out.

  Yang Le followed the materials in his memory, and put the thousand-year-old Huang Jing three liang, Wan Zai Fu Ling five liang, and the thousand-year-old Xue Lian one into the tripod named Yan Huang Ding by Yang Le. A three-flavored true fire was burning continuously at the bottom of the tripod.
