"The Divine King Pill, a seventh-rank high-grade pill, hailed as the number one seventh-rank pill. If successfully refined, its effects rival those of an eighth-rank low-grade divine pill."
"Consuming this pill can consolidate the Divine King realm, assisting a Heavenly King in breaking through their shackles in one fell swoop, thereby entering the domain of an Ancient Great Power and achieving the pinnacle of the Great Dao..."
A torrent of intense information directly flooded into Ye Chen's mind, and he comprehended all the details within the alchemy recipe.
The Divine King Pill, the number one seventh-rank pill!
Having obtained the information from the seven-colored light sphere, Ye Chen's eyes suddenly blazed with two dazzling beams of light.
He never expected the alchemy recipe within the seven-colored light sphere to be the Divine King Pill. Its title as the number one seventh-rank pill was no empty boast, and its effects could even cross the barrier to the eighth rank, not inferior in the slightest to eighth-rank divine pills—this alone spoke volumes.
More importantly, this Divine King Pill was a treasure pill for breaking through to the Great Power realm. It could help a peak Heavenly King-level expert achieve a breakthrough into the Great Power realm in one go. This effect made Ye Chen particularly eager.
What he most desired now was to break through as soon as possible and reach the Great Power realm.
Without a doubt, the Divine King Pill possessed such astonishing effects, enabling one to achieve a breakthrough in a single leap.
Although he believed that even if he refined and consumed it, it likely wouldn't guarantee a smooth breakthrough for him—because breaking through to the Great Power realm was truly too difficult for him, requiring immense accumulation to truly accomplish—the Divine King Pill would at least significantly increase his chances of success.
Moreover, Ye Chen knew in his heart that if he successfully refined this Divine King Pill, he would undoubtedly win the first round of the young generation alchemy competition, thereby contending for the ultimate championship.
Although he also felt that the hope of refining it seemed somewhat slim, how would he know it was impossible without trying?
Ye Chen stored away the light sphere and no longer felt any impulse towards the other spheres. Having now obtained a full seven light spheres—low, medium, and high grades, including the seven-colored one—he had everything he needed. Now, he only needed to gather the medicinal ingredients before proceeding with the alchemy.
Whoosh—
Ye Chen shot towards the entrance of the Danxu Ancient Realm, vanished into it, and disappeared.
The Danxu Ancient Realm was originally the Monarch Great World of a fallen Ancient Monarch from the Dan Emperor Clan. Once vast, magnificent, and teeming with life, inhabited by numerous beings, it had suffered a terrible war. Not only had the Monarch perished, but the world's origin had nearly completely shattered, plunging it into decline.
However, it was ultimately a Monarch Great World. Other supreme powerhouses of the Dan Emperor Clan had taken it, integrated it into the Dan Realm, nourished it with part of the Emperor Realm's origin, allowing it to recover somewhat and become an important ancient realm for cultivating medicinal herbs.
Over the years, the original Monarch World's origin had gradually transformed into Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, nurturing those Heaven and Earth Treasures. This caused the ruined Monarch Great World to regain vitality, planted with countless Heaven and Earth Treasures that now swayed with radiant splendor.
However, as these Heaven and Earth Treasures continuously devoured the spiritual energy over the years, the Monarch Great World gradually fell into decline once more. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy grew increasingly sparse, and the Heaven and Earth Treasures planted here also became fewer. Now, only a limited number remained.
Moreover, the Danxu Ancient Realm was inhabited by many ferocious great demons and Fierce Beasts guarding these Heaven and Earth Treasures, making the acquisition of these treasures fraught with all sorts of dangers.
Upon entering the Danxu Ancient Realm, Ye Chen found it to be vast. He soared directly into the sky and spread his divine sense, beginning to search for the various Heaven and Earth Treasures within the Danxu Ancient Realm based on the information recorded in the alchemy recipes.
It had to be admitted that no matter how declined the Danxu Ancient Realm was, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy here remained quite dense, suitable for cultivating Heaven and Earth Treasures. The origin power of the ruined Monarch Great World had been decomposed and devoured by these treasures, resulting in the Heaven and Earth Treasures here being exceptionally vibrant and dazzling, ideal for refining pills.
Soon, Ye Chen discovered one of his targets—Wine Soul Grass!
This Wine Soul Grass grew on a cliff, its entire body emitting a hazy five-colored radiance, shimmering with life. It had reached an eight-thousand-year medicinal age and was nearing the true ten-thousand-year medicinal treasure level.
This was one of the ingredients for refining the seventh-rank medium-grade Soul-Returning Pill. Ye Chen directly plucked it and continued to gather the next target.
Meanwhile, the others had also entered the Danxu Ancient Realm one after another.
With their addition, the competition for medicinal ingredients would undoubtedly become many times more difficult.
Soon, Ye Chen ventured deeper into the Danxu Ancient Realm, appearing before a majestic and grand cliff. The area was shrouded in gray mist, with the cliff towering ten thousand zhang high, piercing through the clouds. Its entire form exuded an annihilating aura of the Great Dao, causing others to keep their distance from afar.
Yet, on this ten-thousand-zhang-tall pitch-black cliff, there grew a medicinal herb flowing with blazing crimson light. It stood about three chi tall, resembling a small sun that brilliantly illuminated this gloomy stretch of heaven and earth, immediately attracting the attention of many.
"Crimson Flame Grass!"
All alchemists were familiar with the categories of Heaven and Earth Treasures. Seeing this herb, they immediately recognized it and were filled with desire.
The Crimson Flame Grass was special. Even after becoming a ten-thousand-year medicinal treasure, it would only grow about one chi tall. Thereafter, it would grow one cun taller every ten thousand years.
Now, standing a full three chi tall, it had at least a seventy-thousand-year medicinal age, reaching the medicinal spirit level—extremely precious. This also made Ye Chen's heart stir, as it was one of the main ingredients for refining the Divine King Pill, indispensable.
Although everyone saw this seventy-thousand-year Crimson Flame Grass swaying radiantly on the cliff, no one immediately rushed forward. On the contrary, they watched from afar with particular wariness.
The reason was none other than the fact that coiled upon this very cliff was a terrifyingly powerful Fierce Beast. Its colossal demonic body stretched for over a thousand li, tightly enveloping the entire cliff as it swallowed heaven and earth, exhaling the most dreadful aura. Black mist spread across the sky and earth as it slumbered.
This seventy-thousand-year Crimson Flame Grass was the treasure guarded by this peerless Fierce Beast.
"A Great Power!"
Looking down from above, Ye Chen, with his Chaos Holy Body, possessed particularly keen perception of the external world. He quickly sensed the level of this Fierce Beast—it was a Great Power-level Fierce Beast. Moreover, such beasts, due to their innate physical constitution, possessed vigorous blood energy and exceptionally strong bodies, making them terrifying and even more powerful than ordinary Great Powers.
Therefore, even for Ye Chen, obtaining this Crimson Flame Grass would be more difficult than imagined.
But this Crimson Flame Grass was also one of the main ingredients for refining the Divine King Pill, needed to enhance the pill's efficacy and significantly boost its potency.
Thus, Ye Chen was determined to obtain this Crimson Flame Grass.
Huu—
As if sensing Ye Chen's presence, the thousand-li colossal beast that should have been coiled and slumbering on the cliff suddenly opened its enormous eyes with a swish.
