Chapter 499 509: Black Dragon Tiger Pill

Inside Wen Qingye's Cave Mansion on Life Peak.

Before him lay a pile of spent stones, some of which had even turned into a fine, crystalline powder.

Wen Qingye was drenched in sweat. Due to his shattered meridians, this breakthrough had taken him longer than any other.

He was at the final, crucial moment of breaking through the barrier. His meridians were fracturing even more severely, feeling as if they were about to rupture, but his Primordial Qi was still insufficient.

It seemed all his efforts were about to be for naught.

"Not enough Primordial Qi? Then I'll just have to add more."

As Wen Qingye spoke, he waved his arm, and countless Top-grade Primordial Stones flew out from his Sumeru Mustard Seed. The thousand Top-grade Primordial Stones he had just used had come from Xiang Jing, a disciple of the Thousand Nether Valley.

In total, he had obtained three thousand Top-grade Primordial Stones from him, and with another thirty thousand inside his Sumeru Mustard Seed, he had thirty-two thousand in all. Taking out another thousand was nothing to him.

The moment the thousand Primordial Stones appeared, Wen Qingye's Qi Sea began to churn, exerting a powerful gravitational pull. Instantly, the countless Primordial Stones transformed into a torrent of Primordial Qi that surged toward his Qi Sea.

As the massive influx of Primordial Qi poured in, Wen Qingye's meridians once again endured ruthless devastation. Yet, his brow didn't even furrow. He immersed his Heart Spirit, directing the Primordial Qi to charge into his Qi Sea.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The two Qi Seas collided madly. Countless streams of Primordial Qi spilled out, scattered, and surged, making it seem as if Wen Qingye's Qi Sea had exploded.

The agony was unbearable for an ordinary person, yet he didn't even frown.

An unknown amount of time passed before everything gradually returned to tranquility. The haze in Wen Qingye's mind cleared, becoming exceptionally sharp, and he couldn't help but exhale a puff of turbid air.

Phew!

Destruction Realm Sixth Heaven!

Wen Qingye slowly opened his eyes and rose to his feet.

'Time to check on the Dragon Tiger Pill.'

Four days had passed. The Dragon Tiger Pill was likely almost complete, just waiting for Wen Qingye to collect it.

Upon arriving at the Alchemy Room, a searing heat wave washed over him. Wen Qingye gazed at the black Pill Furnace bathed in flames before him, a thought stirring in his heart.

"That was a close one. It almost exploded," Wen Qingye said with a shake of his head and a smile. He then reached for the last two Profound Pearls. As he stored them away, the Spiritual Fire, deprived of the abundant Primordial Qi, immediately weakened significantly.

THUD!

The black Pill Furnace fell to the ground. With a slap of his palm, Wen Qingye sent the lid flying open.

"ROAR!" "ROAR!"

From above the black Pill Furnace, a stream of Primordial Qi in the shape of a dragon and another in the shape of a tiger appeared, surging upward.

The two Exotic Beasts then began to intertwine, charging into the void in unison. After tangling with each other for a long while, they finally fell back into the Pill Furnace.

The Dragon Tiger Pill was a success!

Looking at the few perfectly round and lustrous Dragon Tiger Pills in his hand, gleaming with a purple radiance, Wen Qingye smiled and put them away.

Ordinary Dragon Tiger Pills were purple, but the ones Wen Qingye refined were jet-black. He never expected this pill would end up being more trouble than help for Sunx Li, forcing Wen Qingye to intervene. But that is a story for another time.

Next, Wen Qingye planned to refine some True Essence Pills to consolidate his foundation and replenish his essence.

Refining True Essence Pills was far simpler than Dragon Tiger Pills. And with Wen Qingye personally overseeing it, he successfully refined them in less than three double-hours.

After storing the True Essence Pills, just as Wen Qingye was about to take one to consolidate his newly broken-through cultivation, a clear voice suddenly called from outside his door.

"Brother Wen, Brother Wen, open up!"

Wen Qingye recognized the voice at once. It was Yum Baobao.

"What is it?" Wen Qingye opened the door to his Cave Mansion and looked at the frantic Yum Baobao.

Yum Baobao was panting, gesturing wildly with her hands. "Brother Wen, this is bad! People from the Three Realms Sect and the Flowing Cloud Sect are in the Main Peak's Deacon Hall right now! The Great Elder of the Law Enforcement Team, Ji Hai, and your master, my dad, the Peak Master of Absolute Peak, the Peak Master of Danxuan Peak, and the Peak Master of Cloud Conceal Peak, Qii Yue—they're all there! They sent Baobao to come get you!"

Wen Qingye couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. "They're all here? What are they saying?"

"What else could they say? They're despicable! They're demanding your life, saying you have to pay a bloody price, or they won't let it go! Brother Wen, you have to run!" After speaking, Yum Baobao grabbed Wen Qingye's arm and started pulling him away.

"Run? Where to?" Wen Qingye pulled his arm back and shook his head. "It's fine. I'm rather curious to see just how they plan to deal with me."

Seeing Wen Qingye walk toward the Main Peak, Yum Baobao grew anxious and hurried after him. "Brother Wen, Brother Wen, you'll definitely be severely punished if you go! Wait for Baobao!"

...

On the Celestial Profound Sect's Main Peak, a vast and magnificent hall stood atop the central summit, surrounded by churning clouds and boundless mist.

At this moment, the main hall was crowded, with every seat filled.

The incident involving Wen Qingye, the Three Realms Sect, and the Flowing Cloud Sect had caused a huge sensation. Now, aside from the Sect Leader and a few Peak Masters, many of the Celestial Profound Sect's experts had gathered.

Seated on the left were the Peak Masters of the Celestial Profound Sect's five peaks and the members of the Law Enforcement Team. In order, they were: Yum Tianyang, Zhang Zhilin, Chuu Qi, Hua Lie, Qii Yue, and Ji Hai.

Behind them sat many other Elders, all with solemn expressions. They knew that with the arrival of the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Three Realms Sect, the matter was not as simple as it seemed. The visitors would not let this go easily.

And sure enough.

The next moment, Liu Mingliang of the Flowing Cloud Sect rose and shouted, "Elder Ji! I know you are an Elder of the Celestial Profound Sect's Law Enforcement Team, known for being just, strict, and impartial. I hope you can give the Three Realms Sect and the Flowing Cloud Sect a reasonable explanation. My Flowing Cloud Sect and your Celestial Profound Sect have always been friendly neighbors. This time, we were even on a joint operation. So why did disciples of my Flowing Cloud Sect die tragically at the hands of your Celestial Profound Sect's disciple?"

Ji Hai's brow furrowed. He slowly replied, "I find this matter rather peculiar. I am still investigating."

A middle-aged man beside Liu Mingliang shot to his feet, glaring at Ji Hai. "Peculiar? What's so peculiar about it? My disciple was murdered by your Celestial Profound Sect disciple in broad daylight! It was witnessed by many. He's lying in his coffin right now, and you're telling me it's 'peculiar'?"

This was the Seventh Elder of the Flowing Cloud Sect, Chen Xi'Er's master, Gao Changtian.

Seeing this, Yum Tianyang couldn't help but stand and say, "Elder Gao, please calm yourself. I believe we should all calm down and analyze the situation clearly before making any decisions."

Gao Changtian was about to speak again but stopped when he saw it was Yum Tianyang who had spoken. His lips parted, then he sat back down resentfully.
