18 Chapter 18 Emperor Grade Spirit Transforming Dan_1

The sky darkened as clouds gathered rapidly, forming a massive cloud hundreds of zhang wide right above the Purple Void Jade Emperor's Tripod.

"Is this the Pill Tribulation? It feels rather stingy!" Li Cheng muttered.

Even if the tribulation clouds didn't cover the entire sky, they should at least envelop a large part of the sect, right?

Now, however, they confined such a small area that it seemed rather petty.

But this was only a fourth level Spirit Pill; it didn't warrant a grand Pill Tribulation.

In the heart of the tribulation clouds, a giant beast seemed to be stirring the winds and clouds, slowly forming a vortex, within which lightning flashed and darted, displaying a measure of imposing momentum.

"This Pill Tribulation is no simple matter, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage would definitely be unable to withstand it, I'm afraid the Spirit Transforming Dans will be completely destroyed!" the Seventh Elder sternly watched the vortex within the clouds and murmured.

"Could it be because there were too many Emperor Grade Spirit Transforming Dans?" asked an elder.

When cultivators face tribulation, if there are several together, the power of Heaven Tribulation multiplies, and it stands to reason that Pill Tribulation would do the same.

"The stronger, the better, I'm afraid a weak one won't attract the attention of my junior uncle's Heaven Tribulation," Mu Xingzhi whispered.

"Your words make sense!"

The senior members began to look forward with anticipation.

The entire Heavenly Mechanism Sect had already been alerted, but the Sect Master and others had spread the news early on, preventing any panic.

At this moment, all members of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect were watching, their faces filled with pride!

This legendary Pill Tribulation descending upon their sect would surely spread throughout the Kunlun Southern Region soon.

By then, the reputation of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect would undoubtedly soar, likely causing even the Pill Sect to become uneasy.

After all, even for the Pill Sect, it had been many tens of thousands of years since a Pill Tribulation had occurred.

"The Eighteenth Elder is monstrously excessive; no one can match his talent and cultivation level, and now he's even drawing forth a Pill Tribulation with his alchemy. I really want to take him as my master!"

"If you take him as your master, you'd be of the same generation as the Sect Master and the other elders. I wouldn't dare to do that; I would be content to become his disciple."

"What are you thinking? Everyone knows that the Eighteenth Elder takes disciples based on fate. If you were fated, he would have already noticed you."

"Can't I fantasize a bit? The Eighteenth Elder is my idol."

...

The entire sect discussed the matter; no doubt, after today, many pill masters would likely come to seek an audience with the Eighteenth Elder.

BOOM!

Deafening thunderclaps resounded, startling the discussing crowd into silence, forcing them to concentrate their gaze.

But it was already too late; they could only see that countless Spirit Transforming Dans had been blasted into powder!

In the center, the Seventh Elder and the others showed pained expressions; this first strike of Tribulation Thunder had obliterated at least four to five thousand Spirit Transforming Dans!

And in the tribulation clouds, the second bolt of Tribulation Thunder was already gathering!

"Legend says there are typically only three tribulation strikes, but after three strikes, how many Spirit Transforming Dans will remain? What a pity, such a waste of heaven's resources!" grumbled the Seventh Elder, unable to hold back his complaint.

BOOM!

The second bolt of Tribulation Thunder arrived, thick as a man's thigh, striking the group of pills and shattering thousands in an instant!

And even as the Tribulation Thunder dispersed, electrical arcs still danced over the remaining Spirit Transforming Dans.

Immediately following, the third one came!

After this blow, nearly twelve thousand Spirit Transforming Dans were reduced to less than three hundred!

That area was left with nothing but a thick diffusion of Pill Qi.

Just as everyone felt an unbearable pang of loss, they saw that region light up with radiant colors!

"Eh? There's a change!"

Among the remaining two hundred-plus Spirit Transforming Dans, seven were emitting radiant colors, and as the colored lights appeared, the Pill Qi lingering in the nearby area rapidly contracted, surging towards those seven Spirit Transforming Dans!

Within a few breaths, the Pill Qi had been completely consumed by them, and the colorful light also receded!

In the sky, the tribulation clouds dispersed as well, restoring clarity and brightness to the heavens.

The Seventh Elder rushed towards Li Cheng, unable to contain his laughter, "Haha, I've understood now, the so-called Pill Tribulation is actually Heaven and Earth engaging in alchemy!"

Li Cheng gave the overly excited Seventh Elder a glance and casually waved his hand, a Spirit Transforming Dan of Emperor Grade floated towards him, "Your understanding isn't wrong."

The Seventh Elder caught the Emperor Grade Spirit Transforming Dan but did not rush to examine it; instead, he bowed deeply, "Please enlighten me, Junior Uncle!"

Li Cheng beckoned with a gesture, and all the pills fell from mid-air, hovering in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, aside from the Emperor Grade, they were all King Grade!

To think that previously there were not so many King Grade, just barely over a hundred, but now there were as many as two hundred and seventy!

The six Emperor Grade pills were surrounded by Dan clouds, with contained aura. Li Cheng could sense that they possessed a faint spirituality.

After sweeping his gaze over them, Li Cheng looked at the bowing Seventh Elder and said, "As you've just witnessed, the Tribulation Thunder ravaged over ten thousand Divinity Transformation Dans, but the Pill Qi and even the medicinal efficacy hadn't dissipated so swiftly."

"The Divinity Transformation Dans that survived the Tribulation Thunder immediately absorbed the residual Pill Qi and medicinal efficacy, hence they all advanced!"

"Interpreting this process as Heaven and Earth alchemizing isn't inappropriate, but take a closer look at the Emperor Grade Divinity Transformation Dan, see if you can notice anything."

The Seventh Elder hastily examined it, and moments later, with an embarrassed look, he turned to Li Cheng, "Junior Uncle, I am short-sighted..."

Li Cheng was surprised and then seemed to realize something, nodding and saying, "I had forgotten, your cultivation hasn't reached the stage where you can realize the Law of Heaven and Earth."

"What I meant was, this Emperor Grade Divinity Transformation Dan retains the aura of Law. If one were to swallow it, they would have a great chance to use this remaining aura of Law to comprehend the Law!"

"The reason it is called Emperor Grade might well be because of this reason."

The Sect Master and others arrived in time to hear Li Cheng's words, and their jaws dropped in astonishment!

To comprehend the Law? Isn't that defying the will of Heaven?

Even if it's just the comprehension of a single Law, that would still be starting on the path to greatness!

"Don't be so shocked; it's only a chance, and without exceptional insight, you can't even capture the aura of Law in this pill, let alone comprehend the Law?"

A splash of cold water calmed everyone down. After all, if they had that kind of insight, would they not have reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage after hundreds of years?

To be like the Junior Uncle, who could ascend after crossing the tribulation in just thirty years, that would take a real chance, wouldn't it?

"The commotion was too great; let's put a hold on alchemy for now. Outsiders will likely come soon," Li Cheng said, leaving behind only two Emperor Grade Divinity Transformation Dans and handing the rest to the Sect Master.

He intended to gift the two Emperor Grade Divinity Transformation Dans to his two disciples.

Mu Xingzhi couldn't hide his excitement, "Emperor Grade Divinity Transformation Dans, oh! Even a Nascent Soul cultivator with lackluster talent could probably enhance their cultivation to the late or middle stages of the Divinity Transformation Stage, right?"

The Spirit Transforming Dan is a type of Breakthrough Pill that assists cultivators in entering the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Of course, even with a Breakthrough Pill, it may not be useful for those with too poor talent.

But this is Emperor Grade, surely capable of propelling one through several realms in succession!

The Seventh Elder hurriedly shook his head, "Sect Master, what you said is not right. Let me tell you, this one Emperor Grade Spirit Transforming Dan, if taken by any Nascent Soul Stage disciple, could push their realm to the complete phase of the Divinity Transformation Stage!"

"As long as they refine a large amount of Spirit Stones to catch up in cultivation, they would become a genuine complete-stage Divinity Transformation powerhouse!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was astounded. With that logic, wouldn't using Emperor Grade Fusion Dao Pill and Unifying Pills create top-level experts?

Seeing everyone's astonished looks, the Seventh Elder mocked, "I know what you're all thinking, and you're right. Just one set of Emperor Grade Breakthrough Pills could create a powerhouse at the complete stage of the Tribulation Crossing!"

"But just think about it, not to mention how difficult it is to obtain a full set of Emperor Grade Breakthrough Pills, even if you have them, refining them would take at least thirty to fifty years, right?"

"Plus, you also need to refine Spirit Stones to accumulate cultivation, doesn't it require a hundred years?"

"It's still not as fast as the Junior Uncle!"

Everyone was stunned, indeed, they were overthinking!

Li Cheng shook his head with a smile, "The Seventh Elder is right, but don't always bring me up when bragging!"

The crowd grinned, preparing to tease further, but then they saw Li Cheng frown and turned to look towards the north.
