Chapter 735: Chapter 417: The Power of 1 Dragon, 9 Bulls, and 2 Tigers! _2

Lin Yan understood his meaning.

The medicine furnace is a real object!

A true ancient divine artifact!

And what the Great Elder had previously displayed was merely an imitation of this medicine furnace from the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land, refined into the Inner Realm Divine Domain.

Earlier in the Heavenly Furnace Inner View, Lin Yan used his own Netherworld Internal View to counter and managed to remain unharmed.

Now within the true divine furnace, whether it be flesh, primordial spirit, or Inner Realm Divine Domain, all would be thoroughly refined.

"I have heard of your achievements, even if Southern King City intended to block the news, gathering true intelligence is not difficult for our Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land."

The Heavenly Furnace Saint Master said: "Although you are not a Human Martial Saint, your combat power far exceeds the Creation Peak level, breaking through the Three Heavens! From the beginning, I dare not underestimate you in the slightest, viewing you as a true Human Martial Saint!"

He formed seals with his hands, drawing the qi of heaven and earth, infusing it into the earth, saying: "Refining pills and medicines is like cooking; how could it be fully cooked as soon as it’s in the pot?"

"Boiling and simmering all take time, as does refining medicine; if the timing isn’t right, naturally it won’t succeed."

"You withstood my foolish junior brother’s Ten Thousand Pills Formation, and your mana must have been greatly diminished."

"Now, within the flames of the furnace, maintaining without perishing requires constant mana consumption; how long can you persist?"

He said this while quietly watching this Heaven and Earth Furnace, sighing and saying: "The Saint Master is already at the end of his rope."

——

At the location of the original Mountain King Manor, now only a bottomless giant pit remained.

Prince Zhen Nan, who had declared himself to be in seclusion, now stood at the edge of the pit, slowly turning to look toward the north.

Beside Prince Zhen Nan stood an elderly man in a black robe, his expression solemn.

"The Heavenly Furnace Saint Master has always been cautious; this time, for him to personally act without backup was truly unexpected."

The old man remarked solemnly, "It seems in his eyes, the existence of the Saint Master is worth the risk!"

With these words, the old man said in a low voice: "Now it’s a dead end; even with backup, the Saint Master may be unable to escape alive! Because of my past, the high ranks of the Holy Alliance have already been alerted; you were too reckless..."

"Leaving the Royal City and entering Mountain King Manor was a path the Saint Master chose himself!"

Prince Zhen Nan said helplessly: "After the incident at Mountain King Manor, he didn’t wait for me to arrive in person, just left more than 700 elite Demon Suppression Department members with the City Guard Army I sent, and then left."

"And the ins and outs of the Mountain King Manor incident are known to Cloud Stepping Colt; I suppose the matter of setting you up years ago has already been discovered by the Saint Master."

"I knew he went to the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land, but I never guessed he was using himself as bait to lure out the people behind the scenes."

Sighing, Prince Zhen Nan said: "He never discussed it with me."

"After this matter is over, no matter what, my Southern King City owes him an enormous debt."

The elder turned his head slowly, "The old grievances you hold have festered in your heart, lingering unresolved... If it weren’t your prime years, even this slight issue might lead to signs of mental breakdown."

"If this matter can be resolved, and you can release these feelings, it’s time you entered seclusion and reached the realm of a Human Martial Saint."

"Achieving Human Martial Saint will allow you to join the new ’cabinet’ set by the Alliance Hierarch, participating in all future highest decisions of the Holy Alliance."

"At that time, you should step down from the position of Prince Zhen Nan."

The elder said: "Before entering seclusion, you must make arrangements."

Prince Zhen Nan sighed, "The Saint Master once told me that he would surely pacify the Demon Domain in the future."

"If I successfully achieve Human Martial Saint, then before stepping down as Prince Zhen Nan, I will cooperate with the southern Taixuan Divine Mountain to flank and attack the Demon Domain!"

"It seems he went to the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land with the intention of resolving this heart knot for me, as a sign of goodwill from the South Mountain Sacred Land to my Southern King City."

"But he probably never expected that behind this matter isn’t the Great Elder of the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land, but the half-human, half-god Heavenly Furnace Saint Master!"

With a serious expression, Prince Zhen Nan said: "With things as they are, aren’t you going to take action, elder?"

"As one of the Supreme Elders of the Holy Alliance, I cannot act."

The old man shook his head slightly, saying: "Anyone in the world who practices alchemy regards the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land as the source of the Alchemy Dao!"

"And within the Holy Alliance, those with high alchemy attainments, even if not originating from the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land, have studied there."

"Heavenly Furnace Saint Master, is the highest leader in the Alchemy Dao lineage in their minds, ranked on par with Immortal Gods."

"The Heavenly Furnace Saint Master can die, but cannot die at the hands of the Holy Alliance."

"Otherwise, the Holy Alliance will surely have internal chaos, especially those ’blindly loyal’ disciples from the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land!"

"In my Southern King City army, every month we distribute a large quantity of Essence Boosting Pills to assist cultivation, enhance qi-blood, and strengthen the physique."

"If handled improperly, perhaps one day, they might all be poisoned to death."

"This is not without precedent; when the current Alliance Hierarch ascended, his methods were overly forceful, leading to similar disasters."

The elder glanced towards the northern direction and said: "The one to bring down the Heavenly Furnace Saint Master can only be an outsider!"

——

Holy Alliance, Heavenly Destiny City.

A lone figure was seen standing with hands behind, gazing into the distance.

His stature was upright, sharp like a sword.

Between his brows, there was a heavy sense of authority.

Yet his appearance was exceedingly old, full of the despondency of sunset in the west.

On his withered face, a fatigued expression was revealed.

Behind him, an old man in a robe was angrily pacing back and forth.

"Saint Master created using the Qi Refining Realm, unprecedented, only recently cultivated the Primordial Spirit, at best is equivalent to initial creation pinnacle cultivation."

The old Taoist spewed saliva as he angrily cursed: "Trapped inside the Heaven and Earth Furnace, divine fire blazing, with a dragon and tiger, even a Human Martial Saint would be refined to death! Aren’t you afraid he might die there?"

"Indeed... indeed this Taoist was right, you fear he’ll seize your position as Alliance Hierarch!"

"Bah, old coot, about to die yet won’t relinquish your position!"

"..."

The Master of the Holy Alliance couldn’t help but reach out, rub his forehead, and said: "Speaking of it, when the old Taoist was bathed in dragon blood, my great-grandfather was not yet born... calling me old coot isn’t quite appropriate."

He sighed, saying: "If this Saint Master were an eternal blazing sun, he wouldn’t die here!"

"If merely a burning bonfire, eventually it’ll extinguish, using him to replace the Heavenly Furnace Saint Master, clearing the Holy Alliance’s greatest hidden danger, would be most fitting!"

"Besides, this seat is not standing idly by, the means have long been set, it depends on his fate!"

Following the words of the Master of the Holy Alliance.

Suddenly, the old Taoist fell silent, saying: "This Taoist has lived so many years, relying on dragon blood, never losing control, finally waiting for him... if there’s a mistake, this Taoist won’t let you go!"

"Persons of great fortune, throughout history, there’s more than one, the one you wait for may not be him!"

The Hierarch contemplated: "Before the Lord of Heaven fell, the image reflected in his eyes, only you who were bathed in dragon blood, had the fortune to witness."

"But back then you only saw a vague silhouette!"

"You said, that silhouette, without using mana, unseen in the Inner Realm, relied solely on the physique, capable of averting the heavens from collapsing!"

"Within the mural left by the Upper Heaven, it should indicate that a future person of great fortune, will possess the power of one dragon, nine bulls, and two tigers!"

"If that silhouette is him, this Nine-Turn Dragon Tiger Profound Pill is not a calamity but an opportunity."

Thus said, the Hierarch exhaled long and said: "If that silhouette is not him, that would be troublesome..."

"It’s him!"

The old Taoist’s eyes suddenly erupted with fierce light, excitedly said: "Within the Heaven and Earth Furnace, his qi mechanism doesn’t decline but rises."

"The Nine-Turn Heavenly Dragon Pill sharing bloodline with the Taoist is becoming weak!"

"He is consuming that dragon!"

"The Heavenly Furnace Saint Master simply can’t exhaust him to death!!!"
