Chapter 36

Lin Fengjiao: "You're too kind, young friend."

Huang Rong: "That's right. If it weren't for Brother Zhang, I'd still be at the Acquired realm!"

Yue Buqun: "Indeed. The Immortal has helped us far too much."

Yue Buqun's heart swelled with pride.

In just a few days, he had become a Heaven-Man powerhouse.

Now, who in the entire world could be his opponent? Even the Emperor was beneath his notice.

Zhang Taixuan: "Haha, everyone exaggerates. It's just mutual help. Well, I need to go into closed-door cultivation."

He exited the chat group.

He claimed the reward.

He directly swallowed a wisp of World Origin, and tossed the rest into the Qiankun Cauldron for later use.

The moment the World Origin entered his body, his realm began soaring at a tremendous pace.

Above the Life Spring, a Divine Bridge was erected.

Nine witherings and nine flourishings—his flesh withered, then was restored to vitality, and his physical strength, defense, and aptitude were all refined to their absolute peak.

Moreover, the benefits he gained were clearly far greater than those of an ordinary person.

An ordinary person would never have the chance to obtain World Origin, nor to refine themselves with it.

At this moment, his precious body radiated light, like the most flawless immortal gold.

Above the Life Spring, the Divine Bridge emerged, reaching straight to the other shore.

In the blink of an eye, the first stage of the Wheel Sea was perfected.

At this point, there was still plenty of World Origin left—enough for him to break through into the Dao Palace realm.

Zhang Taixuan's heart stirred. In the next instant, the Heart's Divine Treasury was opened, and behind him a golden tide of qi and golden light manifested.

Boom!

His qi and blood surged like a sea, rumbling thunderously.

In the blink of an eye, the Heart's Divine Treasury was perfected.

Immediately after, the remaining World Origin poured into the Liver's Divine Treasury, opening it...

How extraordinary was the World Origin—even a mere, negligible thread of it rivaled several hundred thousand jin of Divine Source.

Moreover, its inherent essence was exceedingly high, bringing tremendous benefit to a cultivator.

Zhang Taixuan carefully tempered his flesh, cultivating continuously for over ten days, only then stabilizing his aura until it became utterly unremarkable.

Coupled with the chat group concealing the heavenly mechanisms, ordinary people simply could not detect his realm.

"Twelve days have passed—this is the longest stretch I've ever spent cultivating." Zhang Taixuan opened his eyes, a flash of divine light streaking through them and vanishing. "It's just the right time to hand the Hundred Herbs Elixir to the sect, exchange it for some contribution points, and trade those for cultivation techniques and elixir recipes."

But how could he be satisfied with a foundation that could only cultivate to the Sage realm?

With the chat group around,

even Great Emperors and Immortal realms could no longer satisfy him.

"Let me set a small goal first—become an Immortal Emperor!"

He packed sixty Hundred Herbs Golden Core pills, went straight to the sect's main hall, and handed the elixirs over.

"This is the Hundred Herbs Golden Core, refined from the improved Hundred Herbs Liquid?" The Elder's eyes widened in shock the moment he saw the elixir.

He consumed one pill, then looked at Zhang Taixuan as though beholding a Heaven-Man.

A single ordinary pill was equivalent to a hundred bottles of Hundred Herbs Liquid, and its medicinal nature was incomparably gentle.

This was simply a divine medicine.

"One Hundred Herbs Golden Core rivals a hundred bottles of Hundred Herbs Liquid. I'll count it as a hundred sect contribution points for you. Sixty pills here—six thousand sect contribution points. Is there anything you'd like to exchange for?"

Zhang Taixuan had long made up his mind and said, "May I ask how many Dao Palace realm techniques remain?"

"Dao Palace realm?" The Elder was taken aback. "You became an inner disciple, so you should have already received a Dao Palace realm technique. Could it be that..."

Zhang Taixuan: "This disciple wishes to fuse and refine a hundred scriptures to create a technique of my own."

"Excellent!" The Elder praised. "You possess such talent in the Dao of alchemy—your cultivation aptitude is likely no less impressive, so you can walk this path. Our Divine Void Grotto-Heaven is not a major sect, but we still have thirteen Dao Palace realm techniques in the sect. You've already obtained one, so there are twelve left. I'll take it upon myself to exchange them with you at five hundred contribution points each. Are you willing?"

Zhang Taixuan was overjoyed: "Many thanks, Elder."
