Chapter 66: A Single Pill Forges a Thousand Dao Laws, an Ancient Monstrosity!

Inside a hidden cave.

Only after setting up dozens of concealment and defense formations did Yue Xianzi finally relax.

She sat cross-legged and calmed her excited heart.

Then she carefully took out from her storage treasure the bottle of pills that Gu Yuan had given her.

The bottle contained twenty-eight pills in total.

Each one shimmered with brilliant light, extraordinarily miraculous.

Just looking at them made her cultivation feel restless and eager to stir.

"Gulp—"

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her mind torn in inner conflict.

To eat, or not to eat?

The origin of this pill is unknown; what if it's poisonous?

But……

The temptation of this pill is simply too great!

Just its medicinal fragrance could heal her injuries and restore her magical power fully.

If she were to take one……

The effect would be simply unimaginable!

"Go for it!"

Ultimately, her craving for power overcame reason.

Yue Xianzi gritted her silver teeth, picked up one of the pills, closed her eyes, and swallowed it in one gulp!

The pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth.

A warm yet immeasurably mighty surge instantly exploded within her body!

"Boom!"

Yue Xianzi felt her head buzz loudly!

Her body felt as if it had been set ablaze.

Every inch of flesh and every cell cheered and leapt with joy!

The magical power within her began to increase wildly in an explosive manner!

Her comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Dao also became extraordinarily clear at this moment!

The once obscure and hard-to-understand laws now appeared to her as clear as the lines on her palm, instantly comprehensible!

Dao-Questioning Realm!

It requires cultivators to knock on heaven and earth, comprehend the divine Dao laws, and condense the chain of divine Dao laws within their bodies.

Ordinary heavenly talents who can condense a hundred divine Dao laws can be called geniuses.

Even top-tier primordial cultivators like her and Lei Zi have only condensed over three hundred such laws.

And in legend, those forbidden monstrosities of ancient times.

Even at the limit of the Dao-Questioning Realm, one merely questions a thousand great Daos and condenses a chain of a thousand Dao laws!

That is already myth!

It is the ultimate goal pursued throughout life by countless heavenly talents of the Sanqian Zhou!

And now……

Under Yue Xianzi's inner vision.

Within her body, chains of entirely new Dao laws were frantically forming and being born at an unimaginable speed!

Four hundred!

Five hundred!

Eight hundred!

……

When the number of Dao law chains finally settled at one thousand.

Rumble—

The entire cave shuddered violently!

Above the Heavenly Dome, winds and clouds changed color, lightning flashed and thunder roared!

Strands of auspicious light pierced the legal mist of the Ancient Immortal Ruins and descended upon this cave!

Myriad Dao harmonized, laws manifested!

This is the omen of a peerless monster's birth, celebrated by the Heaven and Earth Dao!

Inside the cave.

Yue Xianzi slowly opened her eyes.

On her body there was no trace of injury; her skin became even more crystal clear and translucent than before, as if carved from the finest mutton-fat white jade.

Threads of immortal aura flowed over her!

"I…… is this…… condensing a thousand Dao laws?"

"I…… have become…… the legendary ancient monstrosity?"

She muttered to herself, her voice full of disbelief.

Just a single pill!

It let her, from an ordinary top heavenly talent, ascend in a single step to become an existence capable of rivaling the ancient forbidden monstrosities!

This…… this is simply more absurd than a dream!

…what kind of person is that person, after all?

What sort of terror does the faction he belongs to wield?

Moon Fairy shivered and dared not think further.

She lowered her head, looked at the twenty‑seven pills left in her hand, and her gaze became exceedingly complex.

She knows.

This may be the greatest opportunity she can obtain in this lifetime!

She will create the history of Sanqian Zhou!

Become the first person to condense the three thousand Dao principles!

And all this is only thanks to the unnamed man's gift, given as if a charity!

……

……

The phenomenon Moon Fairy triggered in the cave.

Although massive, within the boundless Ancient Immortal Ruins.

It is merely a small ripple, soon calming down.

Aside from a few nearby cultivators who sensed the anomaly and felt wary, it did not cause much disturbance.

At this moment, Gu Yuan was already tens of thousands of li away.

The Nine‑Dragon Agarwood Carriage flew steadily above the Ancient Immortal Ruins.

Inside the carriage.

Gu Yuan reclined on the soft couch, closed his eyes to cultivate his spirit.

Elder Gu Linjian stood beside him, holding a ritual disc in his hand; countless profound runes on the disc were continuously being deduced.

"Yuan'er, according to my deductions, the dragon qi of the earth veins here and the flow of incorporeal matter both point to the true east."

"If nothing goes wrong, the World Tree sapling should be in that direction."

"Very good."

A faint smile appeared on Gu Yuan's face,

"Then let's proceed at full speed; I want to see what the place that can nurture the World Tree actually looks like."

"Hmm."

Gu Linjian, receiving orders, transmitted a command to the outside of the carriage.

"Roar—!"

Nine True Dragons let out a soaring dragon roar in unison; their speed surged instantly, turning into a golden streak of light that tore through the void and shot eastward.

……

While Gu Yuan's party headed toward the core area of the Ancient Immortal Ruins,

other Heavenly Proud cultivators who entered the ruins were also, in their respective zones, launching frantic explorations and contests.

In a swamp shrouded with purple mist,

several Heavenly Proud from different lineages were fighting over a Purple Soul Flower that grew deep in the swamp.

Blade flashes and sword shadows, divine techniques clashed continuously, stirring up foul‑smelling mud.

"This Purple Soul Flower is mine! Anyone who dares to snatch it becomes an enemy of my Heavenly Doom Sect!"

"Hmph! The Heavenly Doom Sect is nothing! Come and take it if you have the skill!"

Just as their battle reached a deadlock,

a golden streak of light, like instantaneous teleportation, flashed across the sky above their heads.

Its speed was extreme, so they could not discern what it actually was.

But as the streak passed,

an indescribable terrifying pressure swept over them!

The Heavenly Proud engaged in the fierce battle were instantly pressed as if by a Primordial Divine Mountain, let out a muffled groan, and fell from mid‑air, crashing miserably into the swamp.

When they finally managed to crawl out of the mud, the golden streak had already vanished without a trace.

"What… what was that just now?" a Heavenly Proud asked, still trembling.

"I don't know… its speed was too fast, the pressure too terrifying! Could it be a forbidden being among the original inhabitants of the Ancient Immortal Ruins?"

They discussed uncertainly.

At that moment, someone suddenly shouted.

"Look! That Purple Soul Flower!"

Everyone, hearing this, hurriedly looked toward the depths of the swamp.

They saw that the Purple Soul Flower, which had once emitted a faint violet glow, had now completely lost its luster; its petals withered, lifeless.

It wasn't only the Purple Soul Flower.

The entire swamp, whose purple poisonous mist had once filled the air, became exceedingly thin, as if all its essence had been drained.

"What… what is happening?"

The crowd exchanged bewildered looks, all looking dumbfounded.

The same scene repeatedly unfolded throughout the Ancient Immortal Ruins.

In a cluster of volcanoes blazing with fierce flames,

several Heavenly Proud practicing fire cultivation techniques were besieging a Flame Giant Python, aiming to seize the lava fire lotus it guarded.

Just as they were about to succeed, a golden streak of light flew over the volcano.

And then…

The volcano was extinguished.

The lava solidified.

That lava fire lotus also turned into a lump of charcoal.

On a snowfield frozen for ten thousand li.

A group of Tianjiao were struggling to climb an ice mountain, hoping to harvest the ten‑thousand‑year ice soul at its summit.

Just when they were a step away from the summit, a golden streak of light flew over their heads.

Then…

The ice mountain melted.

The snowfield turned into a vast ocean.

That ten‑thousand‑year ice soul also turned into a puddle of ordinary snow water.

"What the hell! Who was that?!"

"Don't let me know who did it! I will shred them into countless pieces!"

"My opportunity! It's gone just like that!"

"Is this even fun to play anymore?!"

For a moment, the entire Xian Ancient Ruins resonated with wails of grievance.

All the Tianjiao who passed by were about to go mad with anger.

They toiled through life‑and‑death hardships, finally snagged a sliver of opportunity, only to have it snatched away before they could even keep it warm.

The most infuriating part was that they didn't even know who the culprit was!

Gradually, a terrifying legend spread among all the Tianjiao who entered the Xian Ancient Ruins.

The legend says that within the Xian Ancient Ruins, a mysterious locust strongman appears.

He rides a golden streak of light; wherever it passes, not a blade of grass grows, and the spirit of all heavenly treasures is completely drained!

This legend caused all the Tianjiao to feel a wave of panic.

They began to act cautiously; as soon as they spotted a golden streak of light approaching from afar, they fled far away, fearing that their own opportunities would also be ruined by that locust.

But the "locust" himself, Gu Yuan, was completely unaware.

He was merely cultivating daily on the dragon carriage.

If you quickly store your opportunities in the storage space, wouldn't this problem disappear?

"Young master, thirty thousand li ahead should be a Xian Ancient altar; the immortal material there is several times denser than elsewhere, but the killing aura and resentment are also extremely heavy, with many powerful resentful spirits entrenched."

Gu Linjiang's voice rang inside the vehicle.

"Resentful spirits?"

Gu Yuan opened his eyes, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Let the Dragon Emperors charge straight through; devour every obstructing resentful spirit, leaving none behind."

"Yes."

With Gu Yuan's single command,

the golden streak of light, long regarded as a nightmare by countless Tianjiao, surged in speed once more, bearing an unstoppable domineering momentum, and slammed violently toward the Xian Ancient altar!
