Chapter 1318
: A New Realm of Dao Heart Cultivation
At this moment, Ye Yang's eyes were filled with icy coldness and unwavering determination.
Its divine light shone brightly, like the blazing sun, dispelling the chilling aura around him.
He forcefully focused his scattered mind, his divine sense becoming like a sharp blade, and his resolve to follow the Dao grew stronger.
"I refine precious pills to prove the Great Dao. You demons, submit to my wrath at once!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yang suddenly quickened his pace and formed a hand seal.
The golden light between Ye Yang's brows grew even brighter, and his aura suddenly became more concentrated.
When the witches realized their attempts to bewitch her had failed, their smiles vanished instantly, replaced by a look of ferocity and resentment.
"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!"
A witch shouted sharply, a fierce glint in her eyes.
The black energy at his fingertips surged, transforming into a black claw that was about to grab at Ye Yang's brow.
The other witches also made their move, taking off their clothes and revealing their snow-white bodies as they pounced on Ye Yang.
The pink aura surged instantly, almost enveloping the entire cave.
Ye Yang ignored this, keeping his eyes closed and his mind completely absorbed in the alchemy furnace.
Only his hands continued to rapidly form hand seals, guiding the medicinal properties within the furnace to condense.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
I don't know how much time has passed.
Inside the Qiankun Creation Furnace, the crimson light cluster gradually stopped churning under the guidance of the Dao power.
Even the sound of thunder subsided.
The inner thunderous power was gradually condensed and perfectly merged with the yin power of the Yi Wood Divine Water.
A more powerful and purer yang energy emanated from the furnace.
The alluring yet cold aura of the woman created a stalemate, with neither side gaining the upper hand.
Seeing that they could not break through Ye Yang's Dao power barrier or disturb his mind, the witches' faces became even more ferocious, and they all increased the output of their red-pink demonic energy.
Countless black and red auras intertwined.
It transformed into a giant black demonic claw, fiercely grabbing at Ye Yang's Dao power barrier.
Ye Yang frowned.
He could clearly feel the vibrations of the Thunder Yang Elixir within the Creation Furnace.
"Hold on a little longer, and the elixir will be complete, the tribulation will be broken!"
Ye Yang silently chanted in his heart, gritted his teeth, and poured the last bit of Dao power in his body into the alchemy furnace.
His consciousness became increasingly refined, like an impenetrable net.
The crimson light tightly enveloped the furnace, guiding the final trace of medicinal properties to merge.
Outside the cave, the spiritual energy vortex on the main peak of the Flying Heaven Gate grew increasingly dense.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was gathering at an increasingly rapid pace, and the faint sound of thunder could be heard from the center of the spiritual energy vortex.
A short while later.
Outside the cave.
The vortex of spiritual energy in the sky grew larger and larger, and thunderclouds began to gather high in the sky, with faint flashes of lightning.
This is a sign that a top-grade elixir is about to be formed, and a calamity is about to descend.
Inside the cave.
"melt!"
Ye Yang let out a long roar, pouring all his Refining Void Dao Power into the alchemy furnace without reservation, and his aura instantly weakened.
But at that very moment, the crimson light inside the furnace finally stabilized.
Yin and Yang merge, thunder and fire unite.
A vast and pure aura of elixir rose from the depths of the furnace, carrying an indescribable majesty and vitality.
"It's done!"
A hint of joy flashed in Ye Yang's eyes. With a flick of his sleeve, the furnace lid flew up.
"Om."
A beam of crimson-gold light shot into the sky, directly breaking through the cave's protective barriers and soaring into the heavens.
Within that pillar of light, a pill the size of a longan slowly rotated, its entire body a deep red gold, with faint lightning patterns moving across its surface.
The fragrance emanating from it is refreshing and invigorating, making one feel refreshed and invigorated, as if the internal energy is about to be activated.
The Thunder Yang Elixir has been successfully made!
The thunderclouds in the sky sensed this aura.
It began to rumble and churn, as if about to unleash a thunderbolt.
But just as the tribulation was about to take shape, the pill suddenly released an even more powerful aura, which dispersed most of the thunderclouds.
This was the thunderous power contained within the elixir itself, which shared the same origin as the heavenly tribulation, and thus suppressed the tribulation clouds.
A moment later, the sky cleared, and the spiritual rain fell in abundance.
The entire Flying Heaven Sect was bathed in this spiritual rain, and all the disciples felt their spiritual power constantly increasing.
Some cultivators who were stuck at a bottleneck even showed faint signs of breaking through.
"The divine elixir has been produced!"
"The divine might of the Dao Ancestor!"
Cheers resounded throughout the entire mountain gate.
Inside the cave, Ye Yang reached out and took the Thunder Yang Treasure Pill into his palm, examining it carefully.
The pill felt warm to the touch, and the immense energy it contained caught his attention.
But what shocked him even more was...
The moment he finished refining the pill, the power of the Dao within his body began to grow uncontrollably!
Although the increase was not large, this breakthrough did not come from external forces, but from a mysterious and profound realization.
It was as if, within this elixir, his understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth had deepened once more.
"This……"
Ye Yang was filled with shock and disbelief.
The most difficult thing on the path of cultivation is not resources or techniques, but enlightenment.
Countless cultivators are stuck in a certain realm for hundreds of years, not because they lack spiritual power, but because they lack understanding of the Great Dao.
This elixir actually helped him comprehend the Great Dao.
This discovery left Ye Yang deeply troubled.
A picture suddenly flashed through his mind.
That was the scene of Li Bayuan's death a few days ago.
That once glorious junior brother ultimately died trapped at the threshold of the Nascent Soul Dao Realm, filled with resentment.
If this pill could have been refined earlier, perhaps the outcome would have been different. The time difference left Ye Yang with mixed feelings.
"The path of cultivation is indeed a series of new heights. Talent, opportunity, and comprehension are all indispensable."
Ye Yang sighed and composed himself.
He sat down cross-legged and put the Thunder Yang Pill into his mouth.
The elixir melted upon entering the mouth, transforming into a scorching warm current that rapidly spread along the meridians.
That pure and powerful thunderous energy, like countless tiny electric currents, coursed through his body, constantly tempering his meridians, bones, and internal organs.
Ye Yang felt his whole body getting hot, and the Dao power within him was like a raging fire.
He quickly circulated his internal energy, guiding this massive amount of energy to flow repeatedly within his body along a specific route.
One cycle, two cycles...
Time slips away unnoticed.
Ye Yang's aura continued to rise, his already powerful Dao force became even more solid, and the lightning power within his body grew stronger and stronger.
Three days later.
"boom!"
A muffled thud came from Ye Yang's body. He suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of crimson-gold lightning appeared in them.
Peak of the early stage of the lightning tribulation!
He's just one step away from the mid-stage of the lightning tribulation!
"Such a potent medicine."
Ye Yang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, which transformed into a thin, white arrow of air in the air, shooting straight for three feet before dissipating.
He got up and stretched his limbs, making a "crackling" sound between his joints.
His aura was completely restrained, but there was an indescribable air of authority between his brows.
This is the aura that naturally emanates after one's strength has increased.
Ye Yang turned his gaze to the spiritual herbs placed to the side.
Although the main ingredients for refining the Thunder Yang Elixir have been used up, there are still quite a few secondary auxiliary ingredients left.
"Since alchemy can help me comprehend the Great Dao, then I cannot waste it."
A glint of light flashed in Ye Yang's eyes.
He activated the Qiankun Creation Furnace again and began refining the Thunder Yang Treasure Pill, which was of a slightly lower grade.
This time, he did not use the supreme treasure, the Yi Wood Divine Water.
Instead, other yin-type spiritual medicines are used as substitutes. Although the effects of the pills will be greatly reduced, they are still rare and precious treasures for cultivators in the Nascent Soul Dao Realm or the early stage of Refining Emptiness.
Over the next ten days, Ye Yang barely rested and refined seven batches of pills in succession.
In the end, thirteen pills were successfully made. Although their quality was not as perfect as the first one, each one was a top-grade product.
During this process, Ye Yang's understanding of the Great Dao deepened, and the Dao power within his body became increasingly pure.
If he were given more time to mature, breaking through to the mid-stage of the Tribulation Realm would be a natural progression.
……
Li family.
As a subordinate family of the Flying Heaven Sect, they have been dependent on the Flying Heaven Sect for generations. Over the years, they have worked diligently and loyally, and devoted a lot of effort to the development of the Flying Heaven Sect.
Li Cangxuan was the ancestor of the Li family.
His cultivation had long since reached the peak of the Dharma Aspect True Person realm, but he had been stuck at this level for decades and was unable to break through to the Primordial Spirit Dao Realm.
The Primordial Spirit Realm is a huge hurdle on the path of cultivation.
Once a breakthrough is achieved, one's lifespan will greatly increase, one will possess the ability of an immortal primordial spirit, and one will become a true powerhouse.
Li Cangxuan's lifelong pursuit was to break through to the Yuan Shen Dao Realm, not only for his own lifespan and strength, but also to lead the Li family to a higher level and make the Li family a truly top-tier family.
Over the years, he has searched for opportunities and devoted countless efforts, but he has never been able to find a breakthrough. His Dao foundation has also become increasingly weak due to years of depletion, and the hope of a breakthrough has become increasingly slim.
He originally thought that he would never be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm in his lifetime, and could only linger at the peak of the Transformation God Realm until his lifespan was exhausted and he died.
Meanwhile, news broke that Ye Daozu of the Flying Heaven Sect had refined the Thunder Yang Treasure Pill.
Like a ray of dawn in the darkness, it instantly illuminated his hope.
He knew that this would be incredibly helpful to a cultivator like him who was stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and had a weak foundation in the Dao.
Perhaps this is his only chance to break through to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm.
Upon learning the news, Li Cangxuan immediately summoned all the core members of the Li family and held an emergency meeting in the Li family ancestral hall.
Inside the Li family ancestral hall, the atmosphere was solemn and silent. Li Cangxuan sat upright in the main seat, his face aged, his hair and beard all white, yet he was still vigorous.
But those cloudy eyes were now filled with urgency and determination.
Below, the core members of the Li family stood silently with solemn expressions and complex emotions on their faces.
"Fellow clansmen, you must have already heard the news: Dao Ancestor Ye has gone into seclusion to refine pills and has successfully refined the Thunder Yang Treasure Pill."
Li Cangxuan spoke first, his voice hoarse but carrying an undeniable authority.
"That Thunder Yang Treasure Pill is a top-grade treasure. If I could obtain one, I would be confident that I could break through to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tribespeople below stirred up a commotion, and whispers of discussion arose.
“Ancestor, the Thunder Yang Pill is a priceless treasure, and the Flying Heaven Sect will surely cherish it immensely. Our Li family is merely a subordinate family of the Flying Heaven Sect. To obtain the pill from Dao Ancestor Ye would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!”
A middle-aged man spoke up, saying that he was Li Qing, the current head of the Li family, and also the grandson of Li Cangxuan.
For many years, he has worked diligently to manage all the affairs of the Li family. He is calm and meticulous.
"Yes, Ancestor."
Another old man chimed in.
"Master Ye's cultivation is extraordinary, and his vision is extremely high. The Thunder Yang Treasure Pill is so precious that he would either keep it for himself or bestow it upon the core disciples of the Flying Heaven Sect. How could he so easily give it to our Li family?"
"Moreover, our Li family doesn't have enough treasures to exchange for the Thunder Yang Elixir!"
Everyone nodded, but their faces showed signs of difficulty.
They all knew how precious the Thunder Yang Elixir was, and to even think of obtaining one was nothing short of a pipe dream.
Although the Li family had been affiliated with the Flying Heaven Sect for many years and had accumulated a lot of wealth and treasures, compared with the Thunder Yang Treasure Pill, it was still insignificant and they were not qualified to exchange for it at all.
Upon hearing this, Li Cangxuan's expression grew even more solemn. He slowly closed his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and then slowly opened them. The urgency in his eyes intensified, and his tone became extremely firm.
"I know that obtaining the Thunder Yang Elixir is as difficult as ascending to heaven. But this is my only chance to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, and also the only hope for the rise of our Li family! No matter the cost, I will give it a try!"
"Ancestor, what price will you pay?"
Li Qing's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, as he had a vague premonition of something bad.
Li Cangxuan took a deep breath, his gaze slowly sweeping over each of his clansmen below. A trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, but even more so, there was determination.
"I have decided to sacrifice the future of the Li family to beg Dao Ancestor Ye for a Thunder Yang Treasure Pill. From this day forward, the Li family will never disobey any order!"
Even if this move plunges the Li family into utter ruin, I will never regret it!
"What?!" (End of Chapter)
