Chapter 1094: Chapter 686: Each with Their Own Scheme_2

But if the guess was correct.

Then it could only prove that Qingluan Immortal General is meticulous, courageous and strategic, worthy of reliance.

Based on the evidence currently in hand, there’s a ninety percent probability that the other party is the latter.

Such a figure would surely have a place in the great calamity!

...

Bihai Shenxu Mountain, Sixth Peak.

"Dad! Has the Immortal Court replied?"

In the main hall of the Peak Master, Liu Ruifeng rushed in with an urgency and panicked tone, "How is it, is that Shen fellow the Immortal Court’s wanted criminal? I knew it, there can’t be so many unequaled talents, a person full of skills yet unknown, clearly there’s a ghost in his heart!"

"What a Ye Lan! Shenxu Mountain has treated her well, even given her the important position of a Peak Master, and yet this wretch repays the sect like this, concealing a wanted criminal of the Immortal Court, and even bringing him back to the sect, allowing this youngster to become the Master of Dan Peak, obviously, she wants to drag the entire Shenxu Mountain into the water."

"If it weren’t for dad, who understands righteousness deeply, I’m afraid by the time the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals surround Bihai, we would still be in the dark!"

Liu Ruifeng became more excited as he spoke, almost seeing the glory of himself taking control of Dan Peak again.

However, Mu Yang Taoist simply stared silently at the letter in his hand.

The reply from Hong Jing Immortal General was rather vague, and the content was extremely brief.

Although Mu Yang had never served in the Immortal Court, he was still quite knowledgeable about the affairs of the heavens. If Shen Yi were truly an Immortal Court wanted criminal with a confirmed crime, then the attitude above would absolutely not be this way.

At present, it seemed that the person was at most involved in certain matters, but not the mastermind, and Qingluan Immortal General’s attention was not focused on this person at all.

This was far from what Mu Yang Taoist had anticipated.

Which Heavenly Pride of an Immortal Sect has never made a mistake? Besides, the current Shen Yi, to be accurate, his status could no longer be simply described as a young prodigy, but as a truly esteemed Great Cultivator.

With just this bit of information, there’s no way to take this person down.

...

Seeing that something was not right, Liu Ruifeng leaned in to carefully examine the content on the letter, his face’s excitement and joy gradually fading, standing there dispirited.

Another false hope!

"Hehe—" He clenched his fists tightly.

Just as Liu Ruifeng was filled with disappointment, he saw his father seriously folding the letter, speaking indifferently, "Heaven did not directly state his innocence."

Not being explicit means there’s still room for maneuver.

That young man surnamed Shen was just like a rootless duckweed, apart from Ye Lan, he didn’t have a single acquaintance in Shenxu Mountain.

"What if the Immortal Court takes him away for questioning?"

"What if he resists vigorously during the arrest and is executed on the spot?"

Mu Yang softly counter-asked a few questions, his eyes growing colder, murmuring, "Ruifeng, opportunity doesn’t come just by waiting, often one has to take action, having an excuse and a reason is enough."

"Dad..."

Liu Ruifeng was stunned for a long while, finally grasping his father’s meaning, joy surging on his face once more.

"Calculating the time, those two should also be almost back to refine elixirs for their master." Mu Yang Taoist stood up and walked towards the outside of the main hall.

"I will accompany you!" Liu Ruifeng followed swiftly, if he couldn’t watch with his own eyes the downfall of that despicable pair, even if he took the position of the Peak Master, it could not dissolve the resentment and unease in his heart.

Mu Yang Taoist hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Very well."

Ruifeng grew up in Shenxu Mountain and has never gone out for experience, his nature too pure and naive, it was time for him to grow up too.

...

The rich fragrance of elixirs gradually faded in the courtyard.

In its place, a fresh and enticing fragrance emerged, making one salivate and wish to swallow it in one gulp.

Yet it was fleeting, as if the alchemist also realized the treasure’s value and swiftly concealed it.

Inside the Shen Mansion of Jianyang Prefecture.

Shen Yi was fully suppressing his aura, with a trace of lingering fear in his eyes.

The fading of the elixir’s scent was due to the Treasure Pill, made from the Tribulation Emperor Qi Gold Pills that took three hundred tribulations, being fully consumed by him.

And the newly arising fragrance, was not because he had concocted some other Immortal Pill.

...

Well, it could barely be counted.

```

The Immortal Pill was none other than Shen Yi himself.

Perhaps it was the comprehensively rich collection of books left behind by Dan Peak.

The process in which Shen Yi deduced the Taixu Pill Dao was smooth sailing.

Including the remaining 600-plus tribulations from before, coupled with the 300 tribulations of Emperor’s Aura, making over a thousand tribulations in total, roughly 30% was expended to finally advance the Taixu Dao Fruit to Fourth Grade.

At the moment of breakthrough, Shen Yi felt his entire being intertwined with that Golden Pill.

Skin, hair, blood vessels, bones, including the Divine Soul, all seemed to sprout countless invisible threads, pouring into the Taixu Dao Fruit, merging with that Golden Pill.

These threads were like an eternal furnace, refining the Golden Pill with myriad laws, ceaselessly.

When the Dragon Tiger Fruit Position broke through before, it directly transformed a thousand tribulations into three thousand.

But as one of the top ten ranked entities, the path that Shen Yi deduced from the Taixu Dao Fruit did not exhibit such a significant leap.

A thousand tribulations were still a thousand tribulations; other than the rounded perfection of the Dao Fruit, there was nothing particularly miraculous.

And there were disadvantages!

Shen Yi recalled the rich fragrance that had spilled out from him just now; not to mention others, even he felt a strong craving.

Such a human-shaped Golden Pill, if swallowed, would astonish both ghosts and gods.

"Troublesome..."

Shen Yi shook his head, continuing to examine the Taixu Golden Pill.

Soon, he discovered something amiss.

Logically speaking, Fourth Grade represents the transformation and fulfillment of a Dao Fruit or Fruit Position, like the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Fruit Position, which ceases to progress an iota upon maturation.

Three thousand tribulations is the limit of this fruit position, as well as its final form.

But at this moment, the internal furnace burns endlessly, with millions of elixir laws still evolving on their own, indicating that the Taixu Golden Pill has not yet completed; inside, it can still bear more Tribulation Power!

Perhaps it will reach perfection only when all the laws used to refine this pill are exhausted.

Transcending limits, is this the true power of the Taixu Pill Dao?

"..."

As the creator of this Dao, Shen Yi had no one to ask and could only slowly figure it out by himself.

Now that both the Walker and Qi Cultivation paths have reached Fourth Grade, even in this vast world, he possesses the power to protect himself.

Above that, there remain only the true gods, buddhas, and Immortal Venerables.

He stood up, feeling refreshed throughout his body; taking the Taixu Golden Pill as an anchor, he felt like he could freely traverse Taixu, and the world was wide open to explore!

Shen Yi walked out of the courtyard, sending a message to Ye Lan.

Not long after, a sword light flew towards him.

Ye Lan had already sensed the fragrance of the Elixir drifting from the Shen Mansion, thus had been watching nearby; fortunately, the sweet scent soon vanished.

She did not inquire about this Elixir.

With Shen Yi’s talent, having taken Dan Peak’s heritage, gaining some achievements, and concocting some miraculous Immortal Elixirs, was quite normal.

Moreover, during such a great tribulation, every bit of his improvement is a good thing for the Great Nan Continent; if exposed, it may not be good.

"Unless there’s something else you need to attend to, let’s make this trip quick."

Ye Lan glanced outside the mansion; the situation was turbulent, and as time passed, there might be more trouble.

It was best to handle the Void Treasure Pill matter sooner to avoid being flustered later.

"Let’s set off," Shen Yi nodded slightly.

Although the Taixu Pill Dao could still improve for the time being, and there was no need to worry about wasting the Demon Lifespan, it was good to learn about the Daluo Dao Fruit in advance.

At the very least, to see firsthand what the Daluo Immortal Venerable looks like, to better prepare himself.

"By the way."

As if recalling something, Ye Lan softly reminded him, "When you refine pills for Shenxu Ancestor, remember to store the Elixirs you’ve made before or take them in advance."

"..."

Shen Yi fell silent for a bit; he did want to eat, but he couldn’t exactly nibble on his own fingernails.

"Anyway, just be extra careful, but there’s no need to worry too much; it’s not time yet," Ye Lan forced a smile. If that day really came, she wouldn’t even need Shen Yi to say anything; she would definitely take him as far away from Shenxu Mountain as possible, preferably never to return in this lifetime.
