Chapter 42: Heaven's Blessing! Nourishing Elixir Realm!

After obtaining the Prison Spirit Pill and the Black Prison Sword Canon, Lu Chen stayed inside the sect for the next several days, cultivating diligently.

Until one day, while he was practicing the Black Prison Sword Canon in the Hall of Killing Qi, he suddenly felt a very familiar sensation.

This feeling was somewhat similar to when he first established his Supreme Dao Foundation.

But at this moment, his cultivation was at a critical juncture, so he did not interrupt his practice.

Outside the hall, sect disciples who noticed the phenomenon stopped in their tracks, gazing at the sky in disbelief.

Only strands of golden light could be seen piercing the dark aura that constantly shrouds the skies above the Nine Abyss Gate, shining onto the palace buildings above.

"In the territory of the Demonic Sect, how could such a magnitude of righteous vigor appear?"

"Could it be that the orthodox forces have invaded?"

"At this moment, Sect Master Qing Luo also left the Sect Master's hall and came outside."

"The other elders, upon observing this phenomenon, likewise set aside their affairs and came to the air above the sect."

"One of the elders, holding a black banner, was inadvertently struck by the golden light from the sky; the heavenly Dao power contained in that light instantly pierced a corner of the banner."

"Watching this, the elder's face showed panic as he repeatedly stepped back."

"This isn't just some righteous vigor; this is clearly a heavenly blessing!"

"Our Demonic Sect cultivates with killing qi as its core; how could we possibly attract such a heavenly blessing?"

"All the elders observed the direction of the golden light, and their gazes eventually converged on the Hall of Killing Qi."

"Could it be a disciple cultivating in the Hall of Killing Qi?"

"Immediately, the elders moved and gathered in the air above the Hall of Killing Qi."

"The disciples below, seeing the elders appear, all retreated to a distance, fearing to disturb their affairs."

"How many disciples are cultivating inside the hall?"

"Second Elder Du Gu Ming exerted his spiritual power, bringing the guard disciples of the Hall of Killing Qi before him and asked."

"Replying, Elder, because of the recent phenomenon, most disciples have fled out; there should be fewer than a dozen left."

"Having received the answer, Du Gu Ming released the disciple and entered the Hall of Killing Qi alone, intending to find the source of the heavenly blessing."

"Seeing this, the other elders also followed."

"Du Gu Ming swept his divine sense around, immediately examining all the remaining disciples inside the hall."

"Is it him? With such intense killing qi on his body, how could he possibly attract a heavenly blessing?"

"Lu Chen is actually here as well?" Upon noticing Lu Chen's presence, Du Gu Ming's expression changed slightly.

"Since the time when disciple Wang Lan was injured by Lu Chen, he has developed a inner demon; even after over half a month, he remains somewhat deranged, making normal cultivation extremely difficult."

"A hint of apprehension flashed in Du Gu Ming's eyes."

"It seems not him; his killing qi is stronger than those few disciples', making it absolutely impossible for him to attract a heavenly blessing."

"At this moment, Sect Master Qing Luo and the other elders also entered the Hall of Killing Qi."

"\"Elder Du Gu, how is the situation? Have you found the source of the heavenly blessing? \" Qing Luo asked."

"\"Not found. \" Du Gu Ming shook his head, his attention still on Lu Chen."

"\"Just a few days have passed, and he has already reached Foundation Establishment Perfection, about to condense a Profound Pill? \""

"At this moment, Sect Master Qing Luo and the other elders also noticed Lu Chen's presence."

"How is Lu Chen also here?"

"Naturally, noticing the large amount of killing qi around Lu Chen, they likewise believed that the one who attracted the heavenly blessing was not him."

"At this time, Lu Chen was still unaware that so many elders had come to the Hall of Killing Qi."

"While practicing the Black Prison Sword Canon, he faintly felt that his realm was about to break through."

"After finishing the most critical segment of his cultivation, he decisively took out the Prison Spirit Pill and switched to practicing the Ten Thousand Killing Magic Canon."

"【Medicinal pill detected: Prison Spirit Pill!】"

"【Original effect: A Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator who takes it has a chance to break through to the Nourishing Elixir Realm. The pill contains great toxicity, severely affecting the Dao Foundation, possibly shattering it. Even if the breakthrough succeeds, only a lower-grade Profound Pill can be condensed.】"

"【Reversed effect: After taking it, breakthrough to the Nourishing Elixir Realm is certain. The pill is refined from vast amounts of rare precious materials, greatly benefiting the Dao Foundation. Upon successful breakthrough, only a supreme Profound Pill can be condensed.】"

"\"Strange, what cultivation technique is Lu Chen practicing? There seems to be no such technique in the sect. \" An elder spoke."

"The others, upon hearing this, also noticed this point."

"\"It seems he is practicing a demonic art; what pill did he take? Is he preparing to break through? \""

"\"How long has it been? Wasn't he just recently broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage? \""

"As the Ten Thousand Killing Magic Canon operated, the killing qi surging around Lu Chen began to be absorbed by him at an extremely rapid speed."

"Immediately afterward, the Prison Spirit Pill took effect."

"If an ordinary cultivator took this pill, his Dao Foundation would shatter and his cultivation would stagnate."

"But after Lu Chen took the pill, he only felt his Dao Foundation being nourished by a mysterious power; although it was already of supreme level, it now rose even higher."

"As time passed, above his Dao Foundation gradually condensed a rotating vortex of spiritual power."

"\"The embryonic form of the Profound Pill has appeared; next is the crucial step of condensing the pill! \""

"Lu Chen focused wholeheartedly, completely unaware of the elders' shocked gazes at this moment."

"\"What a terrifying absorption speed; if the Hall of Killing Qi didn't have enough killing qi, he would have probably sucked it all dry by now. \""

"\"I also don't know what quality of Profound Pill he will condense. \""

"\"I truly wish he were my disciple... \""

"While the elders marveled, they had already tossed the recent heavenly golden-light phenomenon to the back of their minds."

"Just as they were about to completely forget the phenomenon, a tremendously terrifying shaking sound again came from between heaven and earth."

"\"Another phenomenon?! This time, it's definitely Lu Chen who brought it! \""

"In a moment, the elders all rushed out to the Hall of Killing Qi again, all gazing in astonishment at the phenomenon in the sky."

Only see above the nine heavens, the sky that originally reflected streaks of golden light was forcibly torn open, revealing a dazzling river of stars.

Countless stars seemed to pour down at this moment, extremely magnificent.

"Such a level of phenomenon—could he be condensing a mystic elixir of spiritual grade or higher?"

Even the Qing Luo Sect Master, who had seen grand scenes, couldn't help but flash a look of shock in their eyes upon seeing the phenomenon above the nine heavens.

"I never expected that our Nine Abyss Sect could actually produce a genius capable of condensing a supreme-grade mystic elixir."

As soon as she finished speaking, an elder beside her suddenly turned their head, as if thinking of something.

"Could it be——! Back then, was it the phenomenon attracted when Lu Chen established his Dao foundation?!"

"The phenomenon from back then?"

In an instant, everyone recalled that fleeting heaven-and-earth phenomenon from back then.

Back then, everyone was searching for the master of the phenomenon, intending to take them as a disciple.

But in the end, no one found any trace of that disciple's existence.

"I never expected it to be Lu Chen."

"No wonder Elder Su broke convention to take him as a disciple—this is why!"

At Su Qian's residence, she was currently standing by the window, gazing at the phenomenon outside, a hint of excitement on her face.

"Master... he has indeed broken through."

"Thinking back, I failed twice in condensing my mystic elixir, yet Master he actually said breakthrough and just broke through..."

"Just what kind of mighty expert is he..."
