Chapter 346

Su Xiao: "I'm talking about cultivation. If you follow the original story's development, in eighteen years you'll already be this powerful. I didn't expect the Heavenly Immortal realm to be this formidable."

Bai Suzhen: "【Eye roll】 Xiaoxiao, do you have some misunderstanding about ascension?"

Su Xiao: "Is there some saying about that?"

Bai Suzhen: "After ascending, one isn't a Heavenly Immortal."

Su Xiao: "Not? They're actually not a Heavenly Immortal?!"

Bai Suzhen: "In my world, after enduring the heavenly tribulation and ascending, one is only an ordinary immortal. To become a Heavenly Immortal, one must grasp the Laws of the Heavenly Dao. Even if I followed the original story, eighteen years later, ascending to the Heavenly Court would still only make me an ordinary immortal. As for comprehending the Laws of the Heavenly Dao — that's the hard part."

Bai Suzhen: "At fastest it takes several years; at slowest, one hundred thousand or a million years may pass without success. According to Master, ninety-nine percent of the immortals in the Heavenly Court are ordinary immortals, and among them are plenty who've been cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years."

Ye Hei: "Put that way, the path of the Heavenly Immortal isn't easy either."

Bai Suzhen: "It's more than not easy. The Heavenly Immortal realm is divided into three sub-realms: the first is Enlightened Law, the second is Mastered Law, the third is Reversed Law."

Su Xiao: "What's meant by Reversed Law?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Let me give an example — suppose you become a Heavenly Immortal and gain enlightenment of the Law of Fire. Then for the third sub-realm of Heavenly Immortal, you must reverse the Law of Fire, being able to easily turn fire into water."

Bai Suzhen: "What the Dao Lord says is correct. On my side, an ancient Heavenly Immortal must be able to wield their grasped Law forward or backward at will. Only a Heavenly Immortal who can reverse Laws and reshape heaven and earth can leave a name in the myths; otherwise they're just an ordinary Heavenly Immortal."

Su Xiao: "Comprehending the Law is already hard enough, and you still have to reverse it, controlling it at will?"

Xiaomai: "Feels so hard!"

Ye Hei: "That's normal too. In my world, the Heavenly Immortal belongs to the ultimate domain of the Human Dao. The third sub-realm of Heavenly Immortal is roughly equivalent to a Nine-Life Great Emperor — only one final leap away from becoming a True Immortal."

Ye Hei: "For such an existence, how could cultivation possibly be simple?"

Zhang Sanfeng: "Indeed, the Great Dao is hard to seek — this is perfectly normal."

Ye Hei: "By the way, which sub-realm of Heavenly Immortal does the Dao Lord currently correspond to, by Bai-jiejie's world's standards?"

Chitanda Eru: "+1, curious."

Xiaomai: "+1"

Zhang Taixuan: "Probably equivalent to the first sub-realm. As for Mastered Law, I'm still a bit short. It's only because my cultivation follows the path of one Law commanding all Laws that I'm a bit stronger, that's all."

Su Xiao: "Got it, stronger by a tiny bit."

Xiaomai: "+1, indeed. Even an Ancient Heavenly Venerable was beaten half to death — that really is stronger by a tiny bit."

Ye Hei: "【Agree】"

Zhang Taixuan: "Alright, I still have business to attend to. I'll log off first."

Su Xiao: "Livestream!"

Zhang Taixuan: "??"

Su Xiao: "【Hehe, silly laugh】"

The heavenly tribulation ended, and Zhang Taixuan returned to the Brightness Ancient Star.

Ling Xi had long since observed the battle in the starry sky through the clan's great formation. Seeing Zhang Taixuan return, her little face flushed red, so overwhelmed with excitement that she could hardly contain herself.

"The Master is truly too formidable, completing a feat no one has accomplished in all the ages."

With the body of a Sage King, striking upward against an immortal, suppressing and slaying an Ancient Heavenly Venerable.

What magnificent bearing was this.

Ling Xi only felt her heartbeat racing to the extreme, her head dizzy and muddled, her heartstrings plucked.

Zhang Taixuan had already left, yet she still hadn't come back to her senses.

It wasn't until within the Brightness Clan gongs and drums shook the heavens, streams of spiritual light shooting skyward, that she finally came back to her senses.

It turned out the clan was celebrating.

The Brightness Clan's backer had suppressed a Heavenly Venerable — equivalent to a contemporary Great Emperor serving as their backer — of course it was worth a celebration.

And at this moment, Zhang Taixuan had already returned to the Taixuan Realm.

In the Taixuan Realm, Huang Rong and the others had long since arrived — a bevy of beauties, lively and bustling.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was among them, wearing a Toyosaki school uniform, her black stockings gleaming dazzlingly.

"Husband, what would you like to eat today?" Huang Rong stepped close, her smile radiant, brimming with joy.

Zhang Taixuan: "I'm easy — let's see what you all can come up with."

Several days later.

In a cool pavilion, Zhang Taixuan took out the Immortal Tears Green Gold Bottle, examined it for a while, then tossed it into the Qiankun Cauldron and began refining it.

This Imperial Weapon's spirit had already been destroyed, and it had been struck by the Star Ruler — if used in battle, it would soon be smashed apart, unfit for use...

Without re-refining it, it could only serve as a flower-arranging ornament.

In a short while, the Immortal Tears Green Gold Bottle in the Qiankun Cauldron was melted into liquid, its divine charm restored.

Zhang Taixuan tossed in three strands of Mysterious-Yellow Mother Qi as well, once again transforming it into a precious bottle.

Only this time, the bottle was no longer deep green, but had become a pale green, like an exquisite piece of porcelain.

"Return-to-Origin Divine Ability, condense!"

"Cauldron-Heaven Grotto, condense!"

"River of Spacetime, condense!"

"Great Dao Bottle, condense!"

"Nine-Breath Qi-Absorption, condense!"

"……"

The next moment, Zhang Taixuan struck out numerous divine-ability runes, branding them into the bottle, causing its aura to bloom and release streaks of divine might.

What Zhang Taixuan was forging was not an ordinary Imperial Weapon, but a magic-power storage bottle refined in combination with the Great Dao Bottle. Within the bottle was a small world, which would later be tossed into the Chaos to convert chaotic magic power and store it within.

Once he had need, he would directly use the principle of the Divine-Summoning ability to pour the magic power within into his body.

This was also the solution he had thought of after discovering his magic power exhausted following the slaying of the Carefree Heavenly Venerable.

His magic power was so deep that even the Nine-Breath Qi-Drawing method could not refill it in a short time.

But if there were a world that ceaselessly transformed chaos qi within the chaos, refining it into magic power,

and this world carried his brand,

then whenever he had need, this world could replenish his magic power at any time.

It could be said that as long as the opponent's realm did not surpass his by too much, he could wear them down with this.

As the river of space-time condensed within, the world inside the bottle expanded rapidly, gaining immeasurably vast lands; the laws evolved, and wondrous auras circulated one after another.

Between heaven and earth, spiritual energy plummeted.

The Taixuan World trembled. Zhang Taixuan sensed it and immediately understood its meaning—this thing was too ferocious, get it away quickly!

As the master of Taixuan World 4.8, Zhang Taixuan naturally would not damage his own world.

The next moment, he stopped suppressing the Taixuan World; the moment he let go, the treasure bottle in his hand was expelled by the Taixuan World and fell into the chaos.

Zhang Taixuan closed his eyes to sense and discovered that the bottle world was near the Taixuan World, rapidly inhaling and exhaling chaos qi, transforming it into chaos magic power; every strand of magic power carried his brand and could be borrowed at will.

At a thought, a strand of chaos magic power appeared out of thin air and fell into his body.

"Wonderful! With this bottle world, I will never lack magic power for cultivating or fighting in the future."

A world that specialized in inhaling and exhaling chaos qi to transform it into magic power—how high was that efficiency?

"The bottle world was inspired by the Dao Treasure Bottle; let us simply call it the Heaven-Swallowing World."

As the name suggests, the bottle is also called the Heaven-Swallowing Bottle.

After taking the name, Zhang Taixuan even admired himself for this brilliant idea, his heart filled with joy.

Of course, although this idea was wonderful, it would be hard for others to imitate it.

Refining a grotto-heaven within a cauldron is easy; condensing the river of space-time is hard.

To create a world that specializes in transforming chaos qi into magic power, one's strength must at least be that of a top-tier Jin Xian, and moreover a Jin Xian well-versed in the Dao of Space-Time.
