Chapter 247: The Alchemy Dao’s Embryonic Form

Di Jiu took out a Genesis Wistaria Fungus along with tens of supporting spirit herbs. He was prepared to refine the Genesis Ekayāna Elixir.

When other people refined the Genesis Ekayāna Elixir, they usually lacked the main spirit herb called Genesis Wistaria Fungus. Di Jiu was the exact opposite. He had quite a few Genesis Wistaria Fungi, yet his supporting spirit herbs were only enough to refine a cauldron of Genesis Ekayāna Elixir.

Thus, this cauldron of elixirs had to succeed. If it failed, he would have to leave and find someplace to buy the supporting spirit herb used to make the Genesis Ekayāna Elixir.

Before he had gotten the Creation Cauldron, Di Jiu had not been confident about refining the Genesis Ekayāna Elixir. However, he now felt extremely confident.

Di Jiu threw stalk after stalk of spirit herbs into the cauldron and took out his Luminous Starry Sky.

The spirit herbs disintegrated while any impurities were removed by Di Jiu. Then, the spiritual liquid started to mix with the elixir formula and disintegrate…

Even though this was only his fourth cauldron of grade-seven spirit elixir, Di Jiu felt as if he had refined countless grade-seven spirit elixirs. He was actually completely engrossed into the refinement of the Genesis Ekayāna Elixir.

When the medicinal liquid started rolling in the Creation Cauldron and his Spiritual Force landed on the spiritual liquid, Di Jiu felt a certain boundlessness. This boundlessness was the aura of the Creation Wood that existed within the world. This aura, which was affected by Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force, was mixed into the spirit liquid.

Di Jiu suddenly forgot that he was refining an elixir and closed his eyes to experience the flow of these Dao runes. He felt like he was cultivating.

After an unknown period of time, he suddenly waved his hand and 12 Genesis Ekayāna Elixirs with clear elixir markings left the cauldron and landed into the jade bottle he had prepared.

Although the fragrance of the elixir reached Di Jiu, he did not open his eyes. He was still immersed in the boundless aura of the Creation Cauldron.

After many hours, Di Jiu eventually opened his eyes. He now felt an understanding that could not be described by words. His cultivation technique and Dao Law had become even clearer, and he could now understand his Dao better.

After following Ji Ming for a few months and producing the Genesis Ekayāna Elixir, Di Jiu’s alchemy Dao had finally taken its embryonic form. Although Di Jiu still did not understand his alchemy Dao, he could vaguely sense that it was related to the indomitable, boundless aura of the Creation Wood.

It didn’t matter whether it was the Creation Wood that had allowed the embryonic form of his alchemy Dao to take shape, or if his own Dao technique had created the embryonic form of his alchemy Dao after he had made contact with the Creation Wood. Either way, Di Jiu was determined to not take out the Creation Cauldron again unless he was in trouble.

This elixir cauldron was too important to him.

When Di Jiu poured a portion of Genesis Ekayāna Elixir onto his hand, the fragrance of the elixir was clean and clear. The elixir itself not only had its own galaxy aura within its galaxy meridian, but it also faintly accumulated a boundless aura.

Di Jiu was certain that this Genesis Ekayāna Elixir was different from those refined by other Elixir Kings. His Genesis Ekayāna Elixir contained a type of Dao runes.

Suddenly, he understood the pain Ji Ming had suffered. Ji Ming had said that he’d had three months left to live, when his Principal Spirit had actually dissipated about two months later.

A top-notch alchemy expert like Ji Ming would never miscalculate their own life-force. The only possibility was that Ji Ming had chosen to compress his own Principal Spirit and dissipate into the world.

Ji Ming’s goal had been to allow Di Jiu to understand his own alchemy Dao. Ji Ming had known that if he had not fallen, if Di Jiu had encountered any problems while refining the Genesis Ekayāna Elixir, he would definitely have asked him. If this had happened, Ji Ming would not have refused to answer. Even if he had, Di Jiu would still have experienced a fall-back, as he would have known that he could still go to Ji Ming as a last resort. This way, his elixir Dao’s embryonic form would never have taken shape.

After Ji Ming had fallen, Di Jiu had had no choice but to seek his own elixir Dao. If he hadn’t, he would have been unable to refine the Genesis Ekayāna Elixir. Without the Genesis Ekayāna Elixir, he would not be able to break through to the Ekayāna Tripod Realm.

Di Jiu walked out of the hall and knelt in front of Ji Ming’s grave. “Thank you for your help, Master. I will ensure that the elixir Dao flourishes.”

In the end, Ji Ming had not taught him about the alchemy Dao of the Cauldron Elixir Mountain, but how to find his own alchemy Dao. The former was a narrow alchemy Dao, while the latter was the vast alchemy Dao between heaven and earth.

Di Jiu could not repay such kindness.

After paying his respects to Ji Ming, he stopped at one of the broken peaks of the Cauldron Elixir Mountain and took out the half-spirit meridian and a million Spirit Stones. He was going to break through to the Ekayāna Tripod Realm. Once he did so and stabilized his cultivation, he would set off immediately to find Huan Mingzi, who was on the Small Central Star.

He had agreed to meet Huan Mingzi there. This was very important to both him and Huan Mingzi, so he had to go.

When Di Jiu swallowed a Genesis Ekayāna Elixir and circulated the Galaxy Art, the thick Spirit Qi surrounding him formed a whirlpool. While this whirlpool surrounded him, he started breaking through to the Ekayāna Tripod Realm.

The spirit liquid of the Genesis Ekayāna Elixir was like a flame that exuded an ice-cool feeling of clear Alchemy Law. This enabled Di Jiu to feel clearly the cultivation shackles of the Ekayāna Tripod Realm. Thanks to the Galaxy Art, the spirit liquid followed the first Qi Circulation and broke through many acupoint meridians before bursting into scary energy.

This scary spirit energy and the clear Alchemy Law caused Di Jiu’s cultivation to increase gradually, even while the elixir was still spreading. Di Jiu could already feel the barrier of the Ekayāna Tripod Realm.

The effect of an elixir did actually make a difference. Di Jiu used all his spirit energy as he burst forward without hesitation.

Boom! When the violent spirit energy hit the cultivation barrier of the Ekayāna Tripod Realm, Di Jiu’s body shuddered. In the past, such a move would have made Di Jiu bleed. However, his tempered body now remained unharmed despite this violent impact.

One portion of Genesis Ekayāna Elixir was definitely insufficient. Thus, Di Jiu took out another one. Before he could consume this Genesis Ekayāna Elixir, a shadow appeared above his head and a strong thunder streak caused by the Thunder Tribulation struck him.

Di Jiu had no intention of blocking any thunder streaks, as his body was already in the Deity Realm. Instead, he allowed the thunder streaks to hit his body at will and continued to wrap himself with the spirit liquid of the second Genesis Ekayāna Elixir. Meanwhile, he also kept attempting to break through to the Ekayāna Tripod Realm.

The effect of the Genesis Ekayāna Elixirs that Di Jiu had refined was many times better than the effect of a normal Genesis Ekayāna Elixir. However, after consuming two Genesis Ekayāna Elixirs, the barrier to the Ekayāna Tripod Realm merely shook a little for Di Jiu.

The thunder streaks became more and more concentrated in the sky as the sounds of thunder became louder and louder. Di Jiu was secretly thankful that he had reached the Three-Deity Realm. Otherwise, he would not have been better off after surviving the thunder tribulation. Instead, he would have been even more severely wounded than earlier.

Now, he only needed to circulate the Galaxy Art. All the thunder streaks that landed on him provided him with an unlimited lightning source aura. This lightning source aura and the Spirit Qi that Di Jiu had absorbed were swiftly converted into powerful Quintessential Essence that accumulated in the galaxy meridian.

As Di Jiu absorbed more and more Spirit Qi and lightning sources, he started to worry that he would burst before he could even break through to the Ekayāna Tripod Realm.

Di Jiu decided to consume three portions of Genesis Ekayāna Elixir in one go this time. Boom! The violent spirit energy erupted in his dantian like a massive bomb exploding inside his body. The seemingly unending spirit liquid of the Genesis Ekayāna Elixir started to move wildly in Di Jiu’s body.

The clear lines of the laws made Di Jiu understand even more. He could now almost feel the nomological aura of the Ekayāna Tripod Realm.

Di Jiu circulated the Galaxy Art as much as he could, leading this Law Aura and the explosive spiritual aura of the Genesis Ekayāna Elixir against the cultivation barrier of the Ekayāna Tripod Realm.

Crack! A bloody mist burst out as Di Jiu broke through the Ekayāna Tripod Realm’s cultivation barrier.

All the spiritual aura surrounding Di Jiu was absorbed by him the moment he broke through to the Ekayāna Tripod Realm and was converted into cultivation.

Di Jiu started to arrange the Nine-Nine Constellation Large Array while circulating the Galaxy Art.

He used enough saber moves to cover the sky as waves after waves of saber flares attacked the Thunder Tribulation. This was the best moment to improve his cultivation level. He just needed to provoke the Thunder Tribulation and make it even more violent. Di Jiu had enough experience to do that.

As he had expected, the Thunder Tribulation got angry and countless thunder streaks crashed down on him.

While Di Jiu circulated the galaxy meridian to its limit, the Spirit Qi around him kept getting absorbed by him. Although the Spirit Stones exploded one by one, Di Jiu was not happy. Thus, he consumed two more Azure Coagulate Elixirs.

Anyone else would only have used one Azure Coagulate Elixir a month. However, Di Jiu consumed two of the Azure Coagulate Elixirs he had refined himself.

The violent spirit energy pushed his cultivation level higher and higher until it reached the first-stage Ekayāna Tripod Realm, the second-stage Ekayāna Tripod Realm…

Crack! Crack! Di Jiu felt a few of his low-grade sabers crack because of the thunder streaks of the Thunder Tribulation. However, he couldn’t care less about his sabers at the moment. His cultivation level was already at the third-stage Ekayāna Tripod Realm.

Just as Di Jiu was about to consume two more Azure Coagulate Elixirs and raise his cultivation level to the fourth-stage Ekayāna Tripod Realm, the thunder streaks disappeared from the sky and the Thunder Tribulation ended.

Di Jiu could only stop consuming the Azure Coagulate Elixir. Without the Thunder Tribulation, it would be pointless even if he consumed 10,000 portions of Azure Coagulate Elixir. He could only take advantage of the situation during the short period of Tribulation Transcendence.
