Chapter 521: Restoring the Pill Realm Heavenly Realm?
As soon as Wu Tian's words fell, Zi Yan waved her arm, and a spatial passage appeared before her.
This was a world crafted and enclosed by a Dou Sheng, an independent realm that an ordinary Dou Zun would never be able to breach. Yet, Zi Yan tore it open effortlessly with a simple motion, a testament to the sheer power of her Taixu Ancient Dragon bloodline.
"Uh…"
Seeing this scene, Bing He felt an even deeper sense of despair.
So this little girl was the true monster?!
Thank the heavens he hadn't provoked her earlier if she had punched him just once, his old bones wouldn't have survived! If she could rip open the Pill Realm so easily, she could just as easily shatter his defenses!
If that had happened, he would have ended up like Chen Tiannan, beaten into oblivion…
A wise man knows when to retreat Bing He felt that he was, indeed, a very wise man.
"Big Guy, carry him! We're leaving!"
Without hesitation, Zi Yan stepped through the portal, dragging Xiong Zhan and Bing He along.
As the spatial passage closed behind them, Wu Tian took Cai Lin by the hand, and they too disappeared from the realm.
When they reappeared, they were inside the cavern of the Blackwater Tiger Python.
There, a young man clad in an alchemist's robe lay sprawled on the ground, arms and legs spread wide. His complexion was flushed and rosy, a sign that he had already recovered significantly.
"He really is a cockroach, isn't he?"
Cai Lin glanced at Xiao Yan, who was beginning to regain consciousness, her expression filled with puzzlement.
"Even with his exhausted Dou Qi and Bing He's poisonous frost energy still inside him, he managed to heal himself purely on his own?"
"Mm, even though I extracted his Heavenly Flames, his body has been refined by multiple flames, fundamentally altering his physique. His physical resilience alone is beyond that of most Dou Zuns."
Wu Tian nodded and explained,
"His regeneration is particularly remarkable. If not for Bing He's Heavenly Ice, he probably would have won that fight."
Cai Lin nodded in agreement, but her gaze soon turned cold.
"Xiao Yan is indeed strong, but his personality and the way he handles things… he will never become a true powerhouse."
Wu Tian couldn't agree more.
Without Yao Chen protecting him, Xiao Yan had lost his backbone he was afraid of everyone.
How could someone like that become a true master?
Xiao Yan: Damn it, my Cultivation Method got nerfed to Yellow Rank because of you! If I'm not afraid, I'll just die even faster!
Wu Tian flicked his wrist, sending a surge of pure energy into Xiao Yan's body.
The moment the energy surged through him, Xiao Yan suddenly bolted upright, eyes wide.
But when he looked around, there was no one in sight.
He immediately realized he had been rescued again.
Sure enough, having a fellow countryman always ensured his survival!
However… does he even know how I was saved?
The Blackwater Tiger Python, which was on the verge of advancing to Rank 8, was a truly terrifying beast. Every part of its body possessed immense healing properties.
Though… it tasted awful.
Just then, the Blackwater Tiger Python emerged again, carrying three medicinal herbs in its mouth. It dropped them in front of Xiao Yan before slithering back into the depths of the cavern.
Xiao Yan: …
Welp. I'll take them.
After storing the herbs, Xiao Yan rushed toward the exit of the Pill Realm.
Meanwhile, many others had already gathered at the plaza near the exit.
Of course, even more had perished within the Pill Realm, their bodies and souls absorbed as nourishment for this world.
In another region, a vast number of alchemists had been massacred by Soul Hall, and Wu Tian had done nothing to stop it.
Here, the law of the jungle ruled the weak would always be preyed upon.
Those who entered the Pill Gathering all knew the risks.
They came with the desire for fame and fortune but in the end, they became mere stepping stones.
The results were devastating.
In Medicine Valley, countless alchemists were slaughtered by Soul Hall, their souls extracted.
However, one person survived Dan Chen.
With her powerful soul perception, she sensed the impending danger and escaped just in time.
By sheer luck, she had also managed to retrieve valuable herbs before fleeing.
At that moment, Wu Tian and Cai Lin appeared before her.
Following behind them was Cao Ying, who looked slightly puzzled.
She didn't understand why Wu Tian had let Dan Chen live without revealing his true identity.
But she didn't dare to ask.
Even if she did, it would be pointless.
If Wu Tian wanted her to know, he would tell her.
But right now, she simply wasn't important enough to warrant an explanation.
It was just like how her master, Xuan Kong Zi, operated if something was given to you, it was yours. But if you tried to forcefully take it, it was rebellion.
However
Wu Tian's next move completely shattered Cao Ying's expectations.
Without warning, a surge of power erupted from Wu Tian's body.
The entire Pill Realm trembled.
Everyone within Ten Thousand Medicine Mountains and even the defenders stationed nearby felt an overwhelming presence wash over them.
"This… this is…?!"
Countless people looked up at the sky, sensing the boundless, oppressive energy radiating from above.
Wu Tian wasn't holding back anymore.
The aura of a Dou Sheng engulfed the entire Pill Realm!
This incredible power caused the blood of every cultivator present to boil uncontrollably.
No Dou Sheng had ever revealed themselves within the Pill Realm before.
Now, for the first time, they were witnessing a Saint's power firsthand!
Above them, the realm itself was expanding and filling with even denser Dou Qi.
Everyone understood this was the work of a Dou Sheng, repairing the Pill Realm!
Such a miraculous place, and yet Wu Tian could effortlessly come and go as he pleased…
But according to his quest scroll, he was supposed to take it with him…
Well, then
If the Pill Realm belonged to the Pill Tower, from this day forth…
It would now be called the Heavenly Realm.
Wu Tian's mind was set, and with that thought, he acted.
His hands moved in intricate seals, and a surge of pure energy radiated outward.
The Lotus Flame atop his head pulsed, sending waves of power rippling across the entire realm.
The Pill Realm was originally created by a Dou Sheng only another Dou Sheng could restore it.
Even Xuan Kong Zi, Xuan Yi, and Tian Lei Zi, despite their status as Half-Saints, were far too weak to mend it.
That's why the realm had deteriorated over time, and why its magical beasts had grown uncontrollable.
If it weren't for Three Thousand Burning Flames stirring up trouble, Xuan Kong Zi and the others would have focused more on maintaining the Pill Realm.
But now
Everything was different.
Xiong Zhan had miraculously reached Dou Zun, encountered Zi Yan, and was now joining them.
And now, Wu Tian wasn't just repairing the realm
He was transforming the Pill Realm… into the Heavenly Realm!
