Chapter 979: Chapter 915: Might Be Making Clothes for Central Continent

Once upon a time, Han Yu also went around to sects with pills, asking if there were any friends or relatives who were tired of living.

Now, the Artifact Spirit’s manner is completely identical.

A group of people looked bewildered, and then simultaneously turned to look at Han Yu.

Han Yu sighed and recounted the time he had tried the pills and their origin.

Hiss!

A collective sound of people drawing a sharp breath was heard all around.

On everyone’s face was nothing but astonishment, for such things were unheard of, even unthinkable.

Even figures like the old Daoist wouldn’t dare to imagine it.

“You really tried it?”

The old Daoist was still somewhat incredulous, unable to help but ask for confirmation again.

Because the matter was so enormous, beyond all bounds.

Han Yu naturally understood the gravity of the situation, or else why would he have personally come back.

He nodded seriously, “I tried it, no mistake, but as for other aspects, I couldn’t test them.”

Nor was there a place to test it, that place only had Di Liuxin, along with Soul Returnless and Shi Xiu.

With something this important, he certainly couldn’t test it in such a place.

Besides, Soul Returnless and Shi Xiu might not dare to consume it.

Who knows how it would affect others who ingested it?

Thus, the Central Continent fell silent, as these pills were unlike the ones Han Yu tried with explicit side effects, at least those let you know what would happen after ingestion.

This Artifact Spirit’s pills, at most, were only ingested by Di Liuxin himself; no one else had the guts to try them.

“Why don’t I give it a try!”

Xia Wuyou was the first to stand up, having thought it through clearly.

This pill had just two possible outcomes: one where there was no danger, and he directly acquired all of Di Liuxin’s powers.

The other, more likely, was the pill being too potent, bursting him from within.

“There is actually a way to counter the potency issue, and if I really can’t hold on, I can still save the person, but…”

Han Yu hesitated, saving someone was easy; you just needed to act quickly and make a cut, and the person wouldn’t die.

Yet in doing so, not only would the person fail to gain Di Liuxin’s powers, but they’d also lose their own cultivation.

This was the real concern.

So those who dared to take such a risk were very few.

The old Daoist seemed thoughtful, then slowly stepped out and, upon looking at the pill in the Artifact Spirit’s hand, sighed slowly.

“It seems then, that I am the one for this task.”

He had already lost his cultivation, having nothing to lose.

“It’s too dangerous. You don’t have any cultivation now, you can’t endure it.”

Mu Zili was the first to disagree, for the old Daoist had been de-cultivated, like a mortal; how could he withstand Di Liuxin’s prowess?

“You’re wrong, the most dangerous old fourth has already tested it for me.”

After pondering for a moment, the old Daoist suddenly spoke.

He had his cultivation taken away by a Celestial Being, and his Divine Spring was destroyed too.

Di Liuxin also had his cultivation stripped, along with his Divine Spring disappearing.

Although the process differed, in essence, their situations weren’t too dissimilar.

“He can withstand the pill, either because the pill’s cultivation originally came from him, or because despite losing his cultivation, the foundation of a Divine Dao Realm still remains.”

The old Daoist inclined towards the second reason as both of their bodies were like reservoirs that, even when dried, could still accommodate the same volume of water if refilled.

Physically he might not be very strong, but his internal meridians and organs had been refined by Divine Dao Realm cultivation.

“What if it’s the first reason?”

Mu Zili still voiced his doubts.

The old Daoist, however, chuckled, saying the first reason also didn’t matter!

“With your current speed, you should be able to save me,” he said, looking at Han Yu with a carefree smile.

Han Yu nodded earnestly in response, “Rest assured, senior, I’ll personally handle it.”

In such life-and-death matters, it couldn’t be left to the Artifact Spirit.

His speed in acting was the only way to instantly counter the pill’s potency, whereas the Artifact Spirit might not manage it as swiftly.

The old Daoist had full confidence in Han Yu, as this guy had even managed to sort out old fourth, showing how remarkable he was.

Taking the pill from the Artifact Spirit, the old Daoist nodded at Han Yu, who immediately drew the West River Slash and stood on guard.

Swallowing the pill boldly in one go, a surging medicinal power erupted at once, causing the old Daoist’s eyes to widen.

A powerful aura instantly spread; his robe began to flutter without wind, the Daoist bun on his head loosened, and in an instant, his stature rose slightly.

The next moment, the youthful image of Daoist Zhu appeared once more!

Just as he prepared to savor the regained power, the old Daoist’s expression turned odd, as first his body felt wrong, and then even his aura became extremely chaotic.

Seeing this, Han Yu was ready to act.

“Wait a little longer!”

Before taking action, the old Daoist suddenly stopped Han Yu.

With that, he immediately closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.

The chaotic aura gradually steadied, but the old Daoist did not move at all.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a turbid breath, and in the next instant, his eyes shone brightly.

Did it work?

“There’s good news and bad news.”

Having become youthful, Daoist Zhu seemed to have gained a wild streak, smiling as he spoke.

“The good news is, I did completely receive that fool’s cultivation and have now reached his level.”

At this, the old Daoist paused.

“The bad news is, forcing a cultivator to be elevated to a level they shouldn’t have is unfeasible, akin to being oversaturated with spiritual power earlier.”

Earlier, he was overwhelmed by Di Liuxin’s formidable cultivation, which caused him to go awry.

But fortunately, as he was also in the Divine Dao Realm, he could gradually digest this cultivation.

But if it were someone below the Divine Dao Realm, they’d likely die on the spot.

A reservoir, however it may be, can hold a lot more.

But it cannot expect a pond to accommodate a reservoir’s capacity.

So, it was lucky he tested it; otherwise, Xia Wuyou would have been doomed today.

The old Daoist’s words made Han Yu’s enthusiasm for the new pills cool off instantly.

If that’s how it was, then it didn’t seem quite as significant anymore.

“No, it’s actually two pieces of good news,”

Quan Xiaotong suddenly spoke up, his thoughts racing as he quickly came up with another use.

After all, everyone had placed their expectations too high for these new pills; what if they thought from a different perspective?

Quan Xiaotong spoke slowly, “The first piece of good news, naturally, is that the pills can indeed increase cultivation.”

“As for the second good news, if it can only be barely taken by someone in the same realm, what if we used it on our batch of disciples?”

Bear in mind, the Central Continent was currently elevating those talented disciples and elite disciples rapidly to the Divine Platform Realm.

This was essentially an act to promote growth hastily.

It severely damaged the foundation of these disciples, leading to inherent weaknesses because they cleverly crossed the Divine Platform Tribulation right after entering the Transcendent Realm.

Yet with such pills, wouldn’t that eliminate these drawbacks?

The two factions had an abundance of lower-level cultivators, particularly Divine Platform cultivators at various stages.

“If this works out, it would essentially mean the Central Continent capitalizes on these two factions’ resources to achieve its golden age of cultivation.”

One could say, if the Central Continent ultimately came out on top, both Yama Hall and the Celestial Dao Sect might find their millennia-long development merely served as a wedding gown for the Central Continent.

Listening to Quan Xiaotong’s plans, a group of people found their expressions all the more peculiar.

If this truly came to be, this tumultuous era could prove to be the best for the Central Continent.

And as a leading figure of this age, Han Yu might indeed be venerated on a divine pedestal.

All the cultivators of the Central Continent would owe him a debt they couldn’t possibly repay.

The old Daoist seemed to have had the same thought, teasingly saying, “It’s no matter, Heaven’s favored son, it’s all things he should do.”

Han Yu listened with a darkened face; being called the Heavenly Dao’s worker was one thing, but being made out to be its favored son was even more belittling.

After joking, the old Daoist suddenly spoke seriously, “Please remove my cultivation again…”
