Chapter 647: Chapter 647
"Using oneself as an ingredient... turning oneself into a pill?"
Fang Chen was somewhat shocked.
The Heavenly Supreme Tome contained only one recipe and one method for refining pill fire, the Heavenly Supreme Divine Flame. The recipe required 99 types of special spiritual energies, along with one core spiritual material. Among them, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth only accounted for five types... the majority of those special spiritual energies were ones Fang Chen had never even heard of.
The method for refining the pill fire was even more unusual. Just the mental aspect of it left him with a splitting headache, and he couldn’t progress even one percent.
"Now you understand why the Heavenly Supreme Pill Technique is so unique and why it’s considered the top inheritance by the descendants of the Jiang Family. Even though the Jiang Family has fallen for many years, many cultivators are still secretly coveting it."
Mirror of the Universe spoke with pride. "It’s the final section, the Heavenly Supreme Tome, that everyone is after. This chapter’s alchemy method is not only rare in the lower realms but also scarcely seen even in the Immortal Realm. If you can truly refine the pill, you will become a Supreme Immortal. Such figures are also beyond reach in the Immortal Realm."
"In the Immortal Realm... are they considered unreachable? Do you know if the Jiang Family’s ancestors ever had anyone successfully turn themselves into a Supreme Immortal?”
Fang Chen felt a shiver. According to Mirror of the Universe, this alchemical technique was beyond his imagination, even among the most elite techniques in the Immortal Realm….
"The Jiang Family.... The earliest individual came very close, but unfortunately, he only found 49 types of special spiritual energies and was missing 50, so he couldn’t truly refine the pill."
"By that time, the path to immortality was already completely blocked. It wasn’t so simple to reach the Immortal Realm. However, if he could turn himself into a Supreme Immortal, he would have been able to break through the Immortal Gate single-handedly," the Mirror of the Universe explained.
It paused for a moment, then continued, "However... There is a catch. Once you become a Supreme Immortal, that is the end of the immortal path; you won’t be able to advance any further. Moreover, if others find out the truth, they will see you as a living divine pill and will pursue you endlessly."
Fang Chen pondered. The Heavenly Supreme Tome was powerful, but the difficulty of walking this path was also terrifying.
"99 types of special spiritual energies... perhaps you won’t be able to find some of those in the mortal realm. You’ll have to venture into the Immortal Realm for them. So, as long as you can’t reach the Immortal Realm, you can’t gather them all," the Mirror of the Universe continued. "Moreover, with your current cultivation, you can’t even refine the Heavenly Supreme Divine Flame, so this tome is of no use to you at the moment."
"However, the Yellow rank introductory tome is quite useful. Many of the pills in it are as beneficial to your current cultivation as the Feather Spirit Pills. The Feather Spirit Pills are always a bit ahead, and using them with your current cultivation might waste too much of their effectiveness. In some ways, certain top yellow rank pills might be more beneficial."
"Once you advance to the Nascent Soul Realm, you might be able to barely refine the Heavenly Supreme Divine Flame, especially since you have the foundation of the Radiant Divine Eyes. At that time, you can try integrating one type of special spiritual energy. The Azure Lightning would be a good choice."
“This is one of the rarer ones among the 99 types of special spiritual energies. As long as you can fully integrate it, you don’t need to become a pill to reach the Ascension Realm. You should have no problem reaching the Ascension Realm,” the Mirror of the Universe explained.
“To reach the Ascension Realm with just one type of special spiritual energy... You can also consider it a top-tier technique with 99 paths. The more you gather, the more your strength will multiply. If you collect all 99 types, you could become a major figure in the Immortal Realm....”
Fang Chen pondered, nodding lightly. “I will keep it as a backup technique. When I can refine the Heavenly Supreme Divine Flame, I will explore this path.”
Little Sword, like a nimble fish, flew over to Fang Chen and excitedly circled him. The speed was so fast that ordinary people could hardly even see its shadow.
“Little Chen, I’m only half a step away from the fifth rank. If I could have a mid-grade, profound rank treasure or three low-grade ones, I could break through in one go,” Little Sword said.
“Breaking through too quickly may not always be a good thing. Right now, you’re only at the Golden Core Realm. Your strength is only really equivalent to the third rank. Meanwhile, you’re already at the peak of the fourth rank. Although I don’t know much about the path of sword cultivation, if your cultivation level differs too much from your sword body, the sword might take over you,” said the Mirror of the Universe, pouring cold water over the two.
“Although the little guy has a good temperament and won’t harm you, don’t forget, there are still 9 evil entities sealed in it,” the Mirror of the Universe added.
