Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

Chapter 319: Chapter 145: Full Support

The return of the Chief True Inheritor, Zhao Qi, came as a surprise to many.

Back then, the exchange between Ten Thousand Laws Palace and Corpse Puppet Sect for entry into each other’s Cultivation Domain was merely a plot where each held their own scheming purposes.

From the information provided by Xiao Changfeng, Li Ji’an deduced that it was the Nascent Soul True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws Palace who set up a trap using the Liu Family Ancestor’s affair to lure in the Golden Puppet Holy Monarch of the Corpse Puppet Sect.

And the true purpose of Ten Thousand Laws Palace from beginning to end was not the Liu Family Ancestor’s affair, but rather for the secret trove within the Boundless Domain.

Besides the few pawns directly arranged by the Ten Thousand Laws Palace with Divine Soul Restrictions, other sect’s prodigies entering the Boundless Domain were discarded as cannon fodder from the start.

It was inevitable that the Golden Puppet Holy Monarch later discovered he had been manipulated, which led to the slaughter against the cultivators who went to the Celestial Cyan Domain, ultimately intensifying the conflict between the two sides.

In recent years, the demon-extermination squads within the Celestial Cyan Domain have become increasingly fierce, and it goes without saying that the cultivators entering the Boundless Domain are in greater peril.

Many believed that those who haven’t escaped yet are most probably facing dire fates.

It’s precisely because of this situation that Elder Fang was able to secure that abundant Core Formation Spiritual Talent for Xiao Changfeng.

Li Ji’an stood quietly on Solitary Peak, clearing his mind of all distractions, simulating various possible outcomes of this sudden incident in his head...

Moments later, his expression turned firm as he flew towards the sect.

The first stop, he went straight to Pill Cauldron Peak.

Zhao Qi’s return was clear in purpose: to reclaim the Core Formation Spiritual Talent that rightfully belonged to him.

At this moment, Xiao Changfeng had already begun his seclusion, and Zhao Qi definitely had to act swiftly to prevent Xiao Changfeng from consuming the Spiritual Talent before the Supreme Elder returned to preside over matters. Relying on his credentials and talent, Zhao Qi was certain he would crush Xiao Changfeng.

Nevertheless, to stop Xiao Changfeng from forming his core, he needed the agreement of the three Supreme Fake Pill Elders.

However, the three Fake Pill Elders surely wouldn’t dare make a decision, since both individuals were prodigies of the sect with hopes of forming a True Pill, and having the backing of a True Pill Elder, they were difficult to offend. Most likely, the decision would be distributed across many.

Currently, the Fake Pill Elders remaining within the sect, besides the three elderly Supreme Elders with limited lifespan, are Master Jade Pill of Pill Cauldron Peak, Master Xuanji of Array Hall, Qingfeng Zhenren of Sect Treasure Vault, and Golden Stone True Man of Treasure Artifact Peak.

Li Ji’an speculates that the final decision will likely be determined by a vote among these seven Fake Pill Elders.

”Xiaoli, you’ve come at the right time; I was just about to seek your advice,” said Master Jade Pill upon seeing Li Ji’an, his tightly furrowed brows relaxing.

Li Ji’an bowed respectfully but didn’t dare waste any more time, immediately speaking: ”Teacher, I have an urgent matter to request.”

”Oh? Let’s hear it,” Master Jade Pill responded with mild surprise, as Li Ji’an had been an Honored Guest Elder in the sect for over thirty years, always peaceful and unobtrusive, never really seeking him for anything in earnest.

”I boldly request that you assist Changfeng in forming his core!” Li Ji’an replied solemnly.

”Hmm?” Master Jade Pill raised his eyebrows slightly, casting a somewhat surprised glance at Li Ji’an.

Zhao Qi’s recent outburst wasn’t necessarily true anger; it was merely a preemptive tactic intended to demonstrate his stance to the entire sect and to establish moral superiority for what he planned to do next.

Master Jade Pill naturally heard of it.

Having lived over three hundred years, he instantly understood Zhao Qi’s intentions, even predicting possible future developments.

Nevertheless, what surprised him was that this younger generation Li Ji’an, only in his eighties, managed to quickly grasp the critical point and directly appealed to him.

After some contemplation, he remarked: ”Xiaoli, I know the relationship between you and Changfeng is not insignificant; however... Zhao Qi, that boy, possesses Earth Grade Spirit Root, and he polished it for many years during the Foundation Establishment Stage, making his foundation solid. He’s also a direct disciple of the Supreme Elder, excelling both in talent and background. When preparing the Core Formation Spiritual Talent for him, it was to ensure he could form at least a middle to upper True Pill.

In contrast, Changfeng merely has an ordinary Upper Grade Spirit Root, and the cultivation technique he practices isn’t the most superior within the sect. Even if he obtains the Core Formation Spiritual Talent, he may not necessarily achieve a True Pill!”

Li Ji’an nodded, as this was evident to everyone and also represented Xiao Changfeng’s biggest shortcoming in keeping the Core Formation Spiritual Talent.

However, they are unaware that Xiao Changfeng also possesses a highly ranked Core Formation Spirit Treasure known as Earth Source Essence.

”Teacher, I accidentally obtained fragments of the Six Gods Condensing Essence Pill Formula; I request your assistance,” he stated.

It’s precisely because Xiao Changfeng has an innate shortcoming in comparison to Zhao Qi that Li Ji’an personally came to request help, and for this, he has prepared well.

This is what Li Ji’an got after counter-killing the Blood-handed Butcher at Golden Splendor Immortal City in the past.

”The Six Gods Condensing Essence Pill!” Master Jade Pill’s pupils suddenly enlarged upon seeing the fragments.

The importance of the Divine Soul to cultivators, especially for those who practice the Hundred Arts Techniques, is paramount. Other than Soul Cultivation Method practices, there are hardly any particularly effective methods for enhancing the Divine Soul.

And the rumored ancient Six Gods Condensing Essence Pill stands as one of the remarkable solutions.

Not only can it refine the Divine Soul and enhance Divine Sense, but it is also a soul pill that Soul Cultivators dream of.

The decline of Soul Cultivation is mainly due to its extremely high demand for talent in Divine Soul and comprehension, with ninety-nine percent of people lacking such talent. Forcing cultivation of Soul Cultivation Method often leads to mental instability and extreme tendencies.

Furthermore, the Six Gods Condensing Essence Pill could stabilize the Sea of Consciousness to some extent.
