The Golden Crow Great Emperor separated two small portions of the medicinal liquid from the ancient cauldron, sending them respectively to Ye Chen and the experts of the Dan Emperor Clan. Each portion contained the liquid essence of two hundred medicinal ingredients, and he requested their assistance in fusing the liquids.
"Very well!"
Ye Chen stepped forward, summoned his Chaos Great Cauldron, and with a wave, collected the two hundred types of medicinal liquid.
On the other side, the Divine King of the Dan Emperor Clan did the same.
"Begin!"
Ye Chen exhaled a ball of Chaos Dao Flame, wreathed in ancient Chaos Qi, and began to pair and combine the two hundred medicinal liquids before him.
His Soul Divine Power was sufficiently powerful. Even without merging with the Chaos Saint Soul infant of his Great Emperor reincarnation body, it was comparable to the level of a Three Tribulation Divine King, placing him at the high tier of an eighth-level alchemy master.
Mere manipulation and fusion of two hundred medicinal liquids was a relatively simple task for him.
Under the Chaos Dao Flame, over a hundred types of medicinal liquid rapidly fused together.
On the other side, the Dan Emperor Clan's Divine King was also a peak eighth-level alchemy master with equally formidable Soul Divine Power. His fusion process appeared exceptionally smooth and effortless, flowing like clouds and water.
Furthermore, many of the Dan Emperor Clan's young Heaven's Prides were assigned portions of the medicinal liquid to assist in fusion. The most, like Dan Yang, handled just over seventy types, while the least handled only around twenty.
Yet, even this level of fusion was enough to cause beads of sweat to form on their foreheads.
Dan Yang and the other Dan Emperor Clan Heaven's Prides had initially harbored some resentment towards Ye Chen, skeptical of how high his alchemy skills could truly reach. However, witnessing his effortless fusion of two hundred medicinal liquids made them acutely aware that the gap between them and Ye Chen was widening further and further.
In the past, Dan Yang had not been far behind Ye Chen. Now, after just these few years, the disparity had grown so vast.
This realization caused a dimness to flicker in his gaze.
Thus, after only half a day, the thousand-plus medicinal liquids were ultimately fused together, transforming into a massive, one-zhang-wide pool of combined medicinal liquid. It overflowed with dazzling, multicolored radiance, exceptionally brilliant and beautiful.
By this point, not only had Ye Chen, the Dan Emperor Clan Divine King, and the many Dan Emperor Clan Heaven's Prides expended considerable Soul Divine Power, but even the Golden Crow Great Emperor revealed a trace of weariness.
Yet, having reached this stage, the next step—condensing the pill—was the most crucial one.
However, this innate pill still possessed some flaws. Due to the lack of certain medicinal ingredients, their fusion had not achieved the imagined effect.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor was not anxious. He turned to Ye Chen and said, "Little friend, I must borrow some of your Life Essence."
Ye Chen opened his internal space, releasing a mass of Life Essence the size of a human head. It swirled with vast, emerald-green vitality, shimmering and radiant as it surged forward.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor intercepted it with a wave of his hand, taking only the head-sized portion. The rest he flicked back to Ye Chen with a finger. "Little friend, a small amount is sufficient. There is no need for so much."
As this fist-sized portion of Life Essence merged into the medicinal liquid, an extraordinary sublimation occurred immediately, unleashing a vast surge of life force.
The minor flaws that had existed in the medicinal liquid were now completely perfected, brimming with immense vitality.
Simultaneously, the Golden Crow Great Emperor took out the blood essences of various imperial clans and immortal clans. Each mass was an extraordinary Great Dao symbol, bearing the imprints of those respective great emperor and immortal clans.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor himself also refined a strand of his own essence blood. Naturally, it was not Emperor Dao Essence Blood, but it was comparable to Monarch Essence Blood. All of these were infused into the medicinal liquid.
Boom!
Within the ancient cauldron, after these additions, the medicinal liquid underwent astonishing changes. Terrifying phenomena even manifested: divine demons appeared, heavenly corpses descended, and bloody rain danced—an extremely sinister and eerie sight.
Outside, in the sky above the Golden Crow Emperor Realm, terrifying blood clouds emerged, covering a boundless area. Thick, crimson lightning bolts streaked across, illuminating the night sky and horrifying the mortal world.
Billions of living beings raised their heads, bewildered by the events unfolding.
At this moment, within the Emperor Hall, the Golden Crow Great Emperor took the ancient cauldron and soared into the sky, vanishing into the clouds.
"It's the Emperor Ancestor!"
"The Supreme Great Emperor!"
All eyes in the Golden Crow Emperor Realm were fixed upon him.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor carried the ancient cauldron, which erupted with billions of layers of light, its aura overwhelming the world. Billions of layers of crimson, terrifying thunderbolts descended, striking towards the cauldron, seeking to destroy the pill within.
However, the Golden Crow Great Emperor acted. With a mere raise of his hand, he shattered all the blood-red lightning, appearing supremely extraordinary. He retained only the purest essence of the thunder, guiding it into the cauldron to merge with the medicinal liquids.
Boom!
Within the cauldron, world-shaking phenomena manifested. Divine demons appeared, accompanied by dazzling immortal light, an extremely eye-catching spectacle.
Finally, after a tremendous explosion that seemed to split heaven and earth, the pill was complete!
Upon the pill's emergence, its aura crowned the entire Golden Crow Emperor Realm, with thousands of auspicious colors descending.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor had refined a furnace of peerless divine pills—not just one, but over a dozen. His methods were truly world-defying. These divine pills were all inscribed with infinite Great Dao symbols, extremely extraordinary. They were given to the aged, decaying Golden Crow Divine Kings who were sealed away and nearing their lifespan limits for consumption.
"We thank the Emperor Ancestor!"
These aged Golden Crow Divine Kings were overjoyed, hurriedly expressing their gratitude before accepting the divine pills and entering seclusion to refine them.
They remained in seclusion for a full three months before completely refining the pills, wasting not a single drop. Upon emerging, their blood vitality had surged significantly, their lifespans had increased sharply, and even the sparse few hairs on their heads had been replaced by black hair, showing signs of returning to middle age.
Yet, this was the limit. Even an Ancient Great Emperor was not omnipotent. Moreover, the Golden Crow Great Emperor seemed not to have returned in a state of Great Perfection. Thus, achieving this was already remarkable.
Nevertheless, the sudden increase in lifespan and peak blood vitality of over a dozen aged Golden Crow Divine Kings, restoring them to their former state, significantly boosted the overall strength of the Golden Crow Imperial Clan.
Afterwards, the Golden Crow Great Emperor also expressed gratitude to the human race, bestowing upon them two innate divine pills. Each was an extraordinary divine pill, not quite a ninth-tier divine pill, but at the peak of the eighth tier, containing numerous Great Dao symbols and possessing great power.
To the Dan Emperor Clan, the Golden Crow Great Emperor bestowed even more, even granting them their freedom and allowing them to leave the Golden Crow Emperor Realm ahead of schedule.
The Dan Emperor Clan's fortune sparked considerable envy and jealousy among the other imperial and immortal clans!
Not long after, the Golden Crow Great Emperor invited Ye Chen to discuss alchemy and explore the alchemy legacy left by the Alchemy Emperor.
Ye Chen held little back, sharing all the inherited information, which greatly benefited the Golden Crow Great Emperor. In the end, the latter sighed with admiration, remarking that the Alchemy Emperor was indeed the foremost alchemist throughout the ages. Such alchemy attainments placed him on a level that no one in the world could hope to match.
At the same time, the Golden Crow Great Emperor personally guided Ye Chen in his cultivation. He also possessed some understanding of the Chaos Great Dao and came to know that Ye Chen possessed a Chaos Saint Body—a fusion of the Chaos Body and the Battle Saint Body. This constitution could be said to surpass all previous physiques, possessing limitless potential for growth.
Moreover, combined with the Chaos Great Dao, it could perfectly unleash its corresponding effects.
However, regarding the Chaos Great Dao, the Golden Crow Great Emperor only had a superficial understanding, not true mastery. Yet, in terms of condensing Divine King Great Dao origin and comprehending intent realms, he offered Ye Chen many extremely useful insights.
Others, witnessing Ye Chen frequently entering the Emperor Hall at the Golden Crow Great Emperor's summons, grew envious and jealous—even members of the Golden Crow Imperial Clan. Such treatment was akin to that of a Great Emperor's personal disciple.
On this day, Ye Chen came once again to discuss the Dao with the Golden Crow Great Emperor.
And this time, their discussion centered on Ye Chen's path as a Divine King.
