Chapter 1368: Chapter 1324: Nirvana Phoenix Breakthrough Begins! (Make-up Update)

Standing atop the azure waves, feeling the moist sea air, Zi Yuan felt some resistance, for within her body was the supreme Medicine Fire, the Purple Extreme Heavenly Fire, which naturally repelled water.

"Master, with such heavy moisture, how can little junior sister withstand it?"

Seeing the reluctance in Zi Yuan’s expression, Yun Wei voiced her doubts.

"Yuan’er, do not panic. This watery world was constructed by your master with a great amount of spirit items, and the laws of water have been infused into it. With your master’s perception, when you refine the King Medicine into your body, it will only suppress the power of the King Medicine, and the suppression on you will be minimal."

Xiao Chen explained with a smile. How could he not know Zi Yuan’s situation and bring trouble to his disciple? Otherwise, the breakthrough site he had devoted a month to build would be a wasted effort.

"Yuan’er, go ahead with confidence. The rest will be taken care of by your master, guarding you!"

Following that, Xiao Chen looked towards Zi Yuan.

Although Zi Yuan had made up her mind early on, when the time arrived to actually begin, nervousness was unavoidable.

"Mhm."

Feeling the conviction conveyed by her master, Zi Yuan fervently nodded and replied.

"In addition to the water laws that help suppress the power of the King Medicine, your master has also invested a large number of heaven and earth spirit items, enough to replenish your primal energy and soul power consumption."

"Yes, junior sister, with master watching over you and senior sister by your side, you can do it!"

Yun Wei gently took Zi Yuan’s hand and assured her firmly.

Zi Yuan did not immediately begin. Xiao Chen asked her to sit cross-legged and suspended above the water surface once again, starting to regulate her own spirit energy. This pertained to her ascent to the supreme realm, and not a trace of carelessness was allowed!

During this time, Xiao Chen conveyed information about the King Grade Medicine to Zi Yuan.

"Yuan’er, your innate Purple Extreme Heavenly Fire, as the Purple Extreme, is the supreme of all fires, capable of controlling other flames. It has a restraining effect on spirit medicines, so there’s no need to rush in the refinement. Refining the King Medicine is just a matter of time if done step by step."

"Moreover, the King Medicine named by your master as the Nirvana Phoenix is likely derived from a drop of Phoenix blood. There may be a trace of the Phoenix’s will hidden within, so to refine this Nirvana Phoenix, you must first overcome the test of the Phoenix’s will."

"You don’t have to worry about this. Although the Ancient Divine Phoenix is boundlessly powerful, transcending time and space, a plant that’s merely of King rank won’t have much of the Phoenix’s residual will left. Your master has extracted the essence of dozens of Heavenly Divine Soul Fruit Trees, along with a piece of Soul Calming Divine Jade, to condense into Divine Soul Marrow Jade, which is enough to stabilize your spirit and will, preventing it from shattering under the assault of the residual Phoenix will."

"As for the medicinal power contained in the Nirvana Phoenix, you’ll need to guide that yourself. The vitality and destruction observed by your master are actually a kind of combined force, which won’t exist independently if separated. This force must be of the Nirvana power of the Ancient Divine Phoenix. So, during your perception, the two forces within the power of Nirvana need to be understood concurrently for successful refinement."

...

"Also, integrating medicine into the body requires complete fusion with the spirit medicine. Remember that you are you; even after the spirit medicine enters your body, you are still yourself. The spirit medicine is just an energy form and not real flesh and blood, and you are the true master of your body."

At this moment, Xiao Chen wished he could tell his little disciple everything. Over the past month, he had run through countless simulations, laying out all possible scenarios to Zi Yuan one by one.

However, no matter how much he simulated, he was not a person with an innate Medicine Bone and had never truly refined great medicines, and so he could not know exactly what would happen.

Compared to other warriors who transform great medicines into power to enhance strength, Zi Yuan’s refinement of great medicine is not about boosting strength, but about fusion between her body and the King Medicine.

Eventually, the King Rank Elixir will become a part of Zi Yuan’s body, but Zi Yuan’s body is not King Medicine. However, after this step, Zi Yuan will rely on the rank of King Medicine to cross into the supreme realm and receive the King’s Dao Fruit.

Then, after experiencing the Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation, she would truly step into the supreme realm.

This seems quite simple, but for other warriors, it’s unachievable because when other warriors refine great medicines, they also transform them into power, directly breaking the barrier between demi-king and king ranks, and prompting the Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation.

Only a person born with an Innate Medicine Bone and the Medicine Fire that arises from it can refine the great medicine without harming a bit of its medicinal power, not just decomposing the power, but fusing with the body mutually!

Several hours later, Zi Yuan finished regulating her breath and opened her eyes to look at Xiao Chen, saying, "Master, Yuan’er is ready!"

"Begin."

A faint voice resonated throughout the watery world.

Hum!

Zi Yuan, sitting cross-legged on the water surface, had wisps of flame emerging from her body. Purple as the tide, it manifested into a scorching heat, evaporating a huge pit in the water below.

Moments later, Zi Yuan’s small figure was no longer visible; in its place was a mass of purple flame, emanating a noble and mystical aura.

Chirp!

The next moment, a strident cry echoed in the space—a Phoenix made of flames soaring with spirit, looking extraordinarily divine, almost breaking the Space Wall Barrier to escape from this place.

This was not Xiao Chen’s Small World; without that kind of suppression, it sensed the hope of escape.

"Seal!"

However, Xiao Chen was already prepared. With a quick grasp of his hand, nine-colored divine light enveloped the entire space, and chains of law interwove densely.

The Flame Phoenix was suddenly caught in a net!

Chirp!

The Flame Phoenix began to resist, opening its mouth and spewing out a flame that turned into numerous smaller phoenixes, attempting to tear through the web of laws.

Seal! Seal! Seal! Seal! Seal!

Xiao Chen shouted consecutively, with each cry, a nine-colored divine light was cast, powerful indeed was the Phoenix, but it was too weak compared to him and stood no chance at all.

If it was not for Xiao Chen’s concern about harming the Phoenix’s very essence, there would be no need for such hassle, he could crush it with a simple slap.

Despite this, with each sealing, the Flame Phoenix continued to shrink, until the last shout fell, the skyful of flames gathered together, revealing its original form.

If not for the medicinal power it exuded, it would simply be a translucent piece of flame jade, just like a real Flame Phoenix, lifelike.

The next moment, Xiao Chen controlled the King Grade Medicine, sending it towards the Purple Flame.

Hum!

Instantly, it was like fatty oil being dropped into intense fire, the Purple Flame roared through the space, rising up tens of feet high, with Zi Yuan’s figure flickering within the intense purple flames at the core.

Humming!

Like unworked jade, the Nirvana Phoenix Medicine crashed into the purple flames in a single breath.

Just as the Nirvana Phoenix entered the Purple Flame, the core of the flame where Zi Yuan was trembled violently, as she was struck by an enormous, noble, ancient, and vast aura.

Even for an instant, her mind felt like it was about to breach.

Within her Soul World, a Divine Phoenix soared across the sky, letting out terrifying roars that shook her very soul.

This Flame Phoenix relentlessly assailed Zi Yuan’s Soul World, seeking to shatter her will and doom her forever.

However, all of this had been anticipated by Xiao Chen. Under the protection of the Soul Calming Divine Marrow, no matter how the Phoenix assaulted, it could hardly tear open Zi Yuan’s Soul World!

Hum!

After a long siege, the Phoenix abruptly stopped, but before Zi Yuan could react, she found her Soul World undergoing a huge transformation.

An aura of ancient venerableness began to fill the space, Zi Yuan, who had never experienced such scenes, seemed somewhat flustered.

However, as she desperately tried to control her own spirit, she found her thoughts entirely sealed within her Soul World.

Humming!

At this moment, she seemed to enter an illusionary space, her entire Soul World turned golden, emanating a noble, vast aura.

"How dare you, a lowly creature, defile the bloodline of the gods, do you realize your sin!"

Suddenly, a majestic judgement arrived within the Soul World, causing Zi Yuan to violently shudder.

Over the past hundred years, although Zi Yuan’s strength had rapidly increased, with the pampering of her master and mistress and the protection of her nine elder martial brothers and sisters, and the entire Gu Yuan Tribe venerating her like a little ancestor, where had she faced much real combat and trial?

Her heart was completely terrified by this sudden, violent reprimand!

Outer World!

"Master, something’s wrong, Little Junior Sister’s aura is wilting, she might be in danger."

The once thriving Purple Flame suddenly withered down, revealing a staggering Zi Yuan, appearing as though she might collapse any moment now. In just a few hours, the situation had taken a drastic turn, Zi Yuan seemed to be on the verge of giving in.

"Wei’er, let Yuan’er overcome this shackle by herself. All these years, she has lived under the protection of others, with a fragile will. If she cannot step out on her own, even if we help her integrate with the medicine, she won’t withstand the terror of the upcoming King’s Tribulation. When that time comes, we won’t be able to help her."

Xiao Chen halted his second disciple, Yun Wei, who was about to intervene.

"Don’t worry, I have placed several bans within this Wang Yao’s body. Yuan’er will only break one layer of the ban as she overcomes each; the power of the King Medicine will only be released bit by bit. The current strength of the Wang Yao is not enough to inflict serious damage on Yuan’er; she will adapt!"

While saying so, Xiao Chen’s mind remained focused on Zi Yuan, vigilant against any upcoming dangers.

Meanwhile, outside the Blue Stone Garden, a middle-aged man clad in battle armor stood upright, looking towards the Blue Stone Garden, with excitement, worry, and remorse variously showing in his eyes.

It was Wan Tianxing, who now served as the commander of the Gu Yuan King’s Department Yu Mo Battle Camp. His precious daughter was undergoing such an ordeal, how could he, as her father, not know?

At this moment, Wan Tianxing was both joyful and resentful. Joyful because his daughter was attempting to ascend to the Supreme Realm.

But he resented his own weak strength, being unable to help his daughter break through the realm. He couldn’t even step into the place where his daughter was breaking through. He could only stand outside the Blue Stone Garden, anxiously waiting.
