BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1294: Creation
Chapter 1294: Creation
The Imagination King cut off in the middle of her eloquent speech and brooded darkly. She’d been evenly matched with the Intrance King until the latter suddenly brought out a treasure refined from Mirage Sand.
Not just refined from Mirage Sand, but almost wholly created from the legendary ingredient. There were several hundred kilograms of it in the treasure! Not even supplemental kings used it so liberally, and the little fox crushed her opponent like crumpling a ball of paper when the treasure appeared.
Imagination also finally understood why she’d failed to lure the other out at the Supplemental Convention. She’d used three taels of sand as bait, but what would the Intrance King care about that amount when she owned several hundred kilograms?
It was like an inferior realm cultivator waving three pieces of premium purple crystal in front of the Redbud King. Would the foremost tycoon of the Hongmeng care about that?
Humiliation burned on her cheeks; she’d been met with setbacks at every turn after coming to Multitude City to help Alchemist against the Immortal Pagoda. She’d never encountered so much failure since making a name for herself.
If Alchemist loses again, we’ll really have no footing to remain here! Despite the ongoing pill contest, Imagination already wanted to leave.
Thankfully, the Immortal King’s accomplishments in pill dao seemed far less than the Alchemist King’s—he’d lost the moment the fragrance from his pills spilled out.
She wasn’t the only one to think this way, so did many other kings think that the Immortal King had lost. Though they weren’t pill dao kings, they understood this bit of common sense.
“The Immortal King is still too young compared to the Alchemist King,” lamented the Elysium King. “If he’d had several hundred million years to grow, he would’ve overtaken Alchemist sooner or later.”
“Overtake the Alchemist King? Much easier said than done,” the Ingenium King sighed. “He’ll have to join the Supplemental Dao Alliance after this defeat and suffer a huge blow to his confidence. He’ll find it hard to hold his head high in the future, and the alliance is the epitome of a dog-eat-dog organization. The Immortal King will vanish from public view once he joins.”
Most genius supplemental kings pressured into the alliance vanished and dropped out of sight after joining. The Supplemental Dao Alliance remained strong all this time, indomitable like the sun hanging high in the sky.
“So what if the Immortal Pagoda possesses seventh step kings? That’s still a nobody in the eyes of the alliance,” Ingenium sighed again.
Fineheart and Finepure frowned at each other.
“I keep feeling like we’ve forgotten something important.” Fineheart cocked her head, unable to determine what it was.
“We have indeed forgotten, and it has to do with the Immortal Pagoda,” her sister responded calmly. “An unparalleled master has wiped away our memories.”
She transmitted the last line instead of saying it out loud. Fineheart nodded and spoke no more.
A cold sneer played on Jin Naluo’s face throughout the proceedings. He’d been able to stabilize the situation and retain the tenth key to the Hongmeng Tower all because of one ultimate treasure—the Bridge of Forgetfulness.
He’d already used it to crush a seventh step king who’d tried to ambush him.
At the same time, he suffered from the same concerns that worried Lu Yun. He didn’t dare use the bridge out in the open as it would draw attention from the ninth step kings, or even the eleven old freaks stronger than the kings.
Jin Naluo knew full well what the bridge was, and if Jinse hadn’t appeared, he would’ve thought it was something that Lu Yun gained through a fortuitous opportunity. He might have even schemed to take it from Lu Yun.
But after seventh step king Jinse appeared, hailing Lu Yun as her master, that sent Jin Naluo’s mind down wild flights of fancy. Thus, he didn’t feel that the Supplemental Dao Alliance would be of any threat to Lu Yun.
……
Rumble!
Thunder crashed through the air and jagged bolts of lightning dancing through the sky retracted into the retreating tribulation clouds.
Boom!
Boom!
The two pill cauldrons shook—a sign that the pills were ready to emerge.
Flames billowed and swirled over the Alchemist’s Truefire World cauldron, wrapping around five sparkling pills that emerged into the world. The golden pills seemed to be sculpted from pure gold; flawless and unblemished, no pill qi emanated from them.
There were pill halos a meter thick around the pills!
Just as there were halos around the sun, so were there halos around pills when their quality reached peak perfection and their potency condensed to an ultimate level. Many in the crowd even glimpsed pale gold clouds gathered in the halo!
Pill clouds!
The medicinal potency of these pills had formed pill clouds!
Pill clouds condensed from the richness of pill halos were as if fluffy white clouds scuttling across a clear sky, illuminated by the blazing sun. This was an ordinary pill no longer, but a divine pill.
Sharp gasps rose and fell through the onlookers. Imagination sneered at the little fox, but her gaze was firmly fixed on only Lu Yun.
“The Alchemist King is the greatest pill master of the Hongmeng alright! Though the Immortal King is also good, he’s too young and tried to dash an egg into a rock when he challenged the Alchemist King!”
“Thank goodness they refined their pills at the same time, or the Immortal King’s confidence would be brutally crushed after seeing this cauldron of divine pills. He wouldn’t dare enter the competition then!”
“Be quiet, the Immortal King’s pills are about to emerge!”
Hummmm.
Lu Yun’s forge of heaven and earth hummed lowly before disintegrating and melting into the pills within. Eighteen Eight Treasures Return Pills typically resulted from one refinement attempt, which was precisely the number that he had created.
When the cauldron crumbled away and the pills emerged before everyone’s eyes, an even more dense fragrance wafted out. It bathed the crowd in a medicinal shower that they couldn’t bear to remove themselves from, an enjoyment that extended to the kings as well.
“What is this? Is the Immortal King purposefully diffusing his pill’s potency? Does he lack even the most basic knowledge of refining pills?!” exclaimed the Ingenium King, but the remainder of her rebuke stuck in her throat.
The eighteen pills hovered in the air and assembled into one pattern. Waves of heavenly music drifted out of them, as if a song of the land and the most beautiful melody of the great dao. Pastel violet flowers floated down from the sky, circling around the pills in a profound trajectory.
The pastel violet pills seemed to be more like individual minor worlds than pills!
Indeed, they’d broken through the shackles of pill dao to rise to a different kind of marvelous existence. They appeared to be alive and flew to Lu Yun like little fairies, waltzing around him in time with the music.
“They say that when the Pill of Creation is born, the music and flowers of the great dao will welcome it…”
“This… this is creation!” Kings scattered throughout the premises swallowed hard when they saw the pills.
“What??” Alchemist paused. He’d never thought that he’d see the legendary Pill of Creation today! “This is fake, it’s not real! It’s a product of the Intrance King’s illusions! How can any living being refine creation?!”
etvolare\'s Thoughts
Beats me, I\'m with you there.
And, was it just me or did it seem like whoever saw Lu Yun\'s pill come out was high on something? Totally seemed like it lol.
