Chapter 2170 - 1996: Bodhi Pill

During this period, the reward hunt for Ye Chen within the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain has spread vigorously.

Especially a few days ago when Ye Chen appeared in Snow City, destroyed the Light God Clan, killed the Light Heavenly God, eradicated the space gates of three Alien Emperor Clans, preventing their arrival, which caused a huge sensation, drawing numerous powerful beings to focus on the Second Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain, and many strong entities and forces set out for the Second Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain.

Several Alien Emperor Clans did likewise, and rumors even say that a supreme figure of the Nine Tribulations God King level personally set out to punish the Combat Saint King.

Undercurrents surged!

Ye Chen paid no heed to all of this.

On this day, he left the Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan with his nine supreme geniuses, leaving Guu Jiuhua and Guu Qingyang father and son behind, as following him would bring dreadful danger, even he could not guarantee their protection.

Both father and son knew their following was more of a burden to Ye Chen, and slightly regretfully remained in the Dragon Tomb World.

Spirit Stone, no matter where, is a universally accepted currency.

Due to the rewards from many Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans hunting him, Ye Chen, though fearless, wished to avoid unnecessary trouble, slightly altered his appearance, then spent four hundred thousand jin of Spirit Stone in a rather bustling Ancient City to enter the Yutian Sect, heading to a revered Ancient Divine City named Cosmic Sky City located in the southern part of the Second Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain.

Cosmic Sky City, historically renowned, was built by a supreme powerhouse of the Dark Blood Era named Cosmic Sky Ancestor God.

Back then, Cosmic Sky Ancestor God was a supreme powerhouse who led the Ten Thousand Clan to dispel Primordial Ancient Beasts and quell the Primordial Beast Disaster during the Dark Blood Era, one of the strongest of that era, profoundly skilled, who led his clans to establish Cosmic Sky City, left the Yutian Sect, and later participated in the establishment of Ancestor God Pass—a mythical character in the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain with legendary accomplishments.

Though Cosmic Sky Ancestor God has fallen for countless years, his legends are still shared in the world, and Cosmic Sky City, this Ancient City, has become one of the few renowned Ancient Divine Cities in the Second Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain, managed by his descendants, the Cosmic Sky Clan, to this day.

Ye Chen and company descended upon Cosmic Sky City, instantly feeling a slight pressure similar to Ancestor God Pass, aware of Cosmic Sky Ancestor God’s deeds; the pressure given by this Cosmic Sky City revealed that back in the day, Cosmic Sky Ancestor God was likely a master of profound skill, attaining the Ancient Monarch Domain as a Cosmic Dominator level figure.

Cosmic Sky City was vibrant and prosperous, frequented by cultivators of various clans, and visible were many Floating Palaces, Divine Islands; occasionally a blazing streak of light crossed the sky; there were Auction Hall, Daoist Soldier Store, Alchemy Hall, treasure markets, all revealing the prosperity of this Ancient Divine City.

Of course, what impressed Ye Chen the most about Cosmic Sky City was another matter—on his way to the Ultimate Ancient Road, he encountered a Starry Sky Ancient City also called Cosmic Sky City.

Sometimes Ye Chen truly doubted whether this Cosmic Sky City was related to the Cosmic Sky City on the Ultimate Ancient Road.

However, he shook his head, for the universe is vast, and it’s normal for similar names to appear, as the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain and the place of the Ultimate Ancient Road differ.

Upon arriving at Cosmic Sky City, Ye Chen and company learned that the Yutian Sect’s cross-realm transportation required massive energy, generally self-supplying by collecting the power of heaven and earth, absorbing the force of Outer Domain Stars.

Thus, it usually opens once a month, the last opening being ten days ago, meaning the next opening would be in twenty more days.

Ye Chen and company were not in a hurry, with about two months until the Emperor’s son feast and with the upcoming auction event, they found a mansion in Cosmic Sky City and settled down by paying the corresponding Spirit Stones.

This was a high-class mansion located on a Floating Divine Island managed by the Cosmic Sky Clan, with a total of nine high-class mansions available for rent; those able to reside are either rich or noble, also receiving protection from powerful Cosmic Sky Clan figures, making it relatively quiet and safe for no commoner dares trespass.

Within it, Ye Chen laid down a grand formation in the mansion, creating a separate world to isolate the outside, while Aben and others guarded outside the formation.

At the center of the formation, Ye Chen sat cross-legged, before him, a Chaos Tripod stood suspended, streams of Chaos Ancient Energy poured down, accompanied by hazy Chaos Laws, with the blazing Chaos Light surging, Chaos Dao Fire slowly rising.

At this moment, he was undergoing Alchemy.

This Alchemy involved a personal quest, more specifically a heartache.

Currently, the pill he was crafting was an Eighth Rank High Grade Pill called Bodhi Pill, a rare Life Pill containing rich Life Essence and boasting powerful soul renewal effects.

Even for most cultivators, this Bodhi Pill could restore them from near-death conditions.

The main reason for crafting this Bodhi Pill was for one person.

Due to him, a venerable elder named Heavenly Desolate Divine Land perished along the River of Time, leaving only a point of Residual Soul Light to recall.

In the past, although considered strong, possessing the Alchemy inheritance granted by the Pill Emperor, regrettably, his Divine Soul Power hadn’t reached such standards, unable to craft this Eighth Rank High Grade Pill.

Now, after years of arduous cultivation, reaching this stage, both his realm and Divine Soul Power have peaked in this life.

He finally had the capability to truly craft the Bodhi Pill.

Though, as the Emperor Qing Guang stated, to completely revive Heavenly Desolate Divine Land, it ultimately requires reaching the Emperor Domain oneself and having over fifty percent of a Great Perfection Emperor’s Emperor Dao Origin for success.

Nonetheless, the Bodhi Pill, with its heaven-defying soul renewal effect, imbued with extremely rich Light of Life, could significantly empower the Residual Soul Light Point of Heavenly Desolate Divine Land to better restore some parts, even regain some spiritual intelligence, not an impossibility.

"Finally able to start!"

Ye Chen gently exhaled, outside the Chaos Tripod floated numerous fluctuating light clusters, upon closer inspection, these clusters contained precious medicinal materials, each over ten thousand years old, some were even numerous thousands of years aged rare Medicine Spirits.

These medicinal light clusters were accompanied by a powerful Divine Soul Power, continuously being intaken into the ancient and simple Tripod enshrouded by rising Chaos Ancient Energy.

Under the burning of the Fire of All Things Origin, swiftly refined into masses of crystalline diverse-colored medicine liquid, swirling with mystical aroma, while some pitch-black ashes sporadically scattered down.
