Chapter 197: Arrogant to the Point of Terror, the Shock of Gai Jiuyou

In fact, Zhang Xuan was not only considering the world's most supreme geniuses, but also considering himself.

After reaching his current realm and level, looking across the entire Beidou, he truly could not find an opponent, whether among the younger generation or the older generation.

Among the younger generation, those who had stepped into the Immortal Embryo Realm were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

Among the older generation, there were indeed many figures in the Immortal Embryo Realm, as well as so-called Dacheng Kings and Severing Dao Kings.

But for Zhang Xuan now, that group of figures buried in the passage of time was truly too weak; he had swallowed too much Origin, and was not inferior to any Earth Prince or Prince.

At least in terms of the same realm, this was the case; after gaining a realm advantage, he could be said to be sweeping through his current realm.

In Beidou, Zhang Xuan basically could not find any place to temper himself.

In the eyes of Gai Jiuyou and the others, Zhang Xuan was a peerless old monster who was re-cultivating, so he was fast, steady, and incredibly strong, and did not really need tempering in this regard.

Only Zhang Xuan himself knew that he was truly starting his cultivation from scratch, with no so-called past.

Therefore, the current environment needed a certain change.

He needed tempering, and at the same time, many others also needed tempering.

As for the current growth environment, it was truly too lacking.

"If we talk about paper stats, in the current heaven and earth and environment, I count as the most supreme figure; even a Great Emperor of the same period would not have better paper stats than my current situation."

Zhang Xuan had abundant confidence in this point; the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art just had this power to turn decay into magic.

As long as one could, regardless of consequences and cost, swallow enough Origin, one could allow a person whose innate talent and aptitude were not very formidable to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with an Ancient Great Emperor, or even surpass them.

"This is indeed a problem, but it is not without a solution."

Gai Jiuyou pondered for a moment and nodded.

"The overall strength and progress of the Human Race are currently insufficient, and there are not enough strong individuals, but the strong individuals in Beidou and even the entire Universe are numerous enough."

"I will go think of a way; I can disrupt the time of the various Ancient Races and let them emerge several years early."

Gai Jiuyou pondered slightly, and after careful deliberation, said: "For a very long time and age, the heaven and earth were not suitable for cultivation, the rules were not manifest, and the Heaven and Earth Essence was extremely thin, but the Universe and heaven and earth will not always maintain this state throughout the long passage of time."

"With my current strength, I can already feel that a Golden Great Age is about to arrive; the Heaven and Earth Essence is gradually increasing, and at the same time, the heaven and earth rules are gradually becoming prominent."

Speaking of this, Jiang Taixu also nodded in agreement: "For so many years, the Heaven and Earth Essence has been depleted to a terrifying degree, but the heaven and earth rules have always followed the principle that things turn around when they reach an extreme."

"According to normal laws, after the next period of time, the Heaven and Earth Essence of the entire Universe will also continuously become dense, and it will become an era suitable for cultivation."

Only figures like him and Gai Jiuyou who had lived for thousands of years had the qualifications and standing to say such things; others did not have this ability.

And after Gai Jiuyou pondered for a while, he said: "I can feel that the rules of the entire Universe are recovering; perhaps in the more distant starry sky of the Universe, there are powerful Life Ancient Stars that have already recovered in advance and are more suitable for cultivation."

"This should be synchronized with the opening of the Immortal Path; the entire Universe will recover before and after the Immortal Path opens, which is the law of nature."

"My current strength cannot yet change the rules of the entire Universe, but I can still manage to change the heaven and earth of Beidou a little bit."

Speaking of this, Gai Jiuyou suddenly said something earth-shattering, causing even Zhang Xuan to fall into shock.

"I can secretly push things a little, letting the recovery of the Heaven and Earth Essence arrive a period of time early, and let the Ancient Races recover in advance, proceeding together."

Once these words were spoken, even that Great Saint who had lived for eight thousand years fell into shock.

"Are you already strong to this extent? Directly pushing the Life Essence of a Life Ancient Star to recover—even an Ancient Great Emperor would be no more than this, right?"

Gai Jiuyou only shook his head upon hearing this: "When my blood and energy were declining, even if I increased my cultivation, I could only bring about some subtle changes that were impossible to detect; I did not consider myself inferior to an Ancient Great Emperor, but now that I have recovered to the peak state of blood and energy and sense it again, I can feel the subtle differences; I am still a distance away from an Ancient Great Emperor."

"Being able to let the Heaven and Earth Essence of Beidou Gu Xing recover in advance is merely following the great trends of heaven and earth; I am only secretly giving it a push, and I do not have the ability to directly change the situation of the entire heaven and earth."

These words were spoken very humbly and calmly, yet Zhang Xuan heard them with a heart full of shock.

The implications revealed in these words were already extremely terrifying.

Gai Jiuyou had gone a step further on his original foundation and was even more powerful than before.

"If this really continues, perhaps Gai Jiuyou will achieve the status of Great Emperor in this era even earlier than that Golden Crow Great Emperor."

Zhang Xuan had such a guess in his heart.

After all, Gai Jiuyou had once forcibly refined his essence and blood to return to a youthful state in an era when his blood and energy were declining, fighting to the death with an Ancient Emperor who had undergone Extreme Sublimation.

Now that his blood and energy had recovered to their peak, he could have a lifespan of over a thousand years, continuing to walk on his original path, and many theories and conjectures that could not be verified due to the decline of his blood and energy could be further implemented.

Heaven knows how far Gai Jiuyou would go.

"However, this has nothing to do with me; anyway, the threshold for Alternative Enlightenment is not much of a problem for me, and as for the fact that the Zhetian Universe can only have one Ancient Great Emperor, it is not without a solution—at worst, I will go to other worlds to achieve enlightenment."

"The stronger Gai Jiuyou is currently, the more beneficial it is for me."

Zhang Xuan nodded secretly, agreeing with Gai Jiuyou's statement.

At the same time, he confirmed another matter with Gai Jiuyou.

"Since you can do this, do you have any certainty in refining the Nine-Turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Liquid?"

Gai Jiuyou first nodded, then shook his head: "I have already learned the techniques and special alchemy methods involved; theoretically, there is no problem in refining the strongest Nine-Turn Bloodline Evolution Liquid."

"It is just that the Divine Substance listed in the formula for this strongest bloodline evolution liquid only totals eight types, and the last one requires an Undying Divine Medicine to serve as the main ingredient to be refined."

"Even if there were a real Undying Divine Medicine, using it to refine the Nine-Turn Bloodline Evolution Liquid would be too much of a loss, and the gain would not make up for the cost; furthermore, there are currently only seven types of Divine Substance here."

Speaking of this, Gai Jiuyou also sighed with some regret.

"Even with the Divine Substance of an Undying Divine Medicine, one could at most refine an Eight-Turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Liquid; there is absolutely no need for that."

"Then is it possible to use two Undying Divine Medicines as the main Divine Substance to refine the Nine-Turn Bloodline Evolution Liquid?"

Zhang Xuan took the initiative to ask, and Gai Jiuyou was choked up upon hearing such words.

From ancient times to the present, no one had ever been so extravagant; after all, if an Ancient Great Emperor possessed an Undying Divine Medicine, they would use it for themselves to live another life.

If there were a second mature Undying Divine Medicine, they would not use it to refine the so-called Nine-Turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Liquid, but would use it to refine the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.

After all, the Nine-Turn Bloodline Evolution Liquid did not have much significance for an Ancient Great Emperor and provided them with almost no help.

On the contrary, the legendary Nine-Turn Immortal Pill could extend the peak imperial life by two thousand years; although it could not compare to the Undying Divine Medicine, it was still the most supreme substance in the world.

"No one has ever attempted this, so I cannot be sure."

Gai Jiuyou shook his head upon hearing Zhang Xuan's words, but thinking of the three failed pills Zhang Xuan had taken out earlier that were refined unsuccessfully into Nine-Turn Immortal Pills, he felt that it was quite reasonable for Zhang Xuan to propose such a thing with his ability.

He even felt a faint sense of something being wrong in his heart.

After an Ancient Great Emperor grows up, they are usually accompanied by a mature Undying Divine Medicine, but no one has ever heard of someone carrying a whole pile of Undying Divine Medicines; that would be far too exaggerated and absurd.

Even Qingdi, who is closest to the current era, does not seem to have been this extravagant.

"Has he really only sat and discussed the Dao with Qingdi?"

Gai Jiuyou is a bit suspicious of Zhang Xuan; it is not that he thinks the interaction between Zhang Xuan and Qingdi is fake, but rather that he feels Zhang Xuan should not only have this one identity, but should have more, even more ancient identities.

The suggestions Zhang Xuan puts forward and the items he brings out are, on the whole, simply absurd.

Even that Great Saint from the Cai Family who has lived for eight thousand years was shocked by the natural, unforced extravagance revealed by Zhang Xuan.

He took the initiative to add: "It is not very realistic. Even if one could gather the eight most powerful Divine Substances, the relevant auxiliary materials needed to refine the Strongest Nine-Turn Bloodline Evolution Fluid would be an astronomical figure. Relying on Beidou, it is impossible to collect them all; one must go into the starry sky of the Universe and have the accumulation of long years."

"If we follow our previous plan to sell the formula to the many powerful races and noble families on Beidou, we would barely be able to collect the relevant auxiliary materials to refine the Seven-Turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid; we cannot reach anything more."

This Great Saint is also a bit afraid that Zhang Xuan might really go and take two stalks of Undying Divine Medicine to refine medicine; that would truly be terrifying.

"Is that so!"

Zhang Xuan sighed with a hint of regret.

The few people present all breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could even finish exhaling, Zhang Xuan said with a little bit of excitement: "Should we try it first? I still have a large portion of Undying Divine Medicine essence in my hands; maybe we could refine it if we try?"

Then, as he spoke, Zhang Xuan took out a bottle of essence blood spat out by a Qilin Undying Divine Medicine from his hand, as well as a bottle of green medicinal liquid spat out by a Humanoid Undying Divine Medicine.

Gai Jiuyou could not help but twitch his face, though he did not refuse.

He took the two bottles of Undying Divine Medicine, looked at them himself, and then nodded: "The essences of the two Undying Divine Medicines are not enough, but together they should be able to serve as a top-tier Divine Substance material for refining. I can give it a try."

Jiang Taixu also took the initiative to speak: "I will try to purchase more Divine auxiliary materials from the family. However, in all these years on Beidou, no figures capable of traveling in the starry sky of the Universe have appeared. I fear that some substances produced only by dead Life Ancient Stars will be lacking."

The old Daoist from the Cai Family was a bit moved; after all, he is the only person present who can use the most powerful Nine-Turn Bloodline Evolution Fluid.

If other people wanted to use it, they would still need long years. The many things Zhang Xuan has brought out now are basically brought for him.

He took the initiative to stand up and said: "I can try going to the outer starry sky to harvest materials. At my level, walking in the outer starry sky will not consume too much energy."

If he had not fully believed that the people present were moving forward together to deal with the Dark Turmoil when he first arrived here, after such a series of events just now, he is truly willing to believe it.

A figure at the level of Alternative Enlightenment traveled thousands of miles to the Central Plains to find him, who was about to pass away, and gave him a remnant of a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill capable of extending his life by a thousand years.

Now, the other party has brought out the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid, which one does not know how many years and ages of accumulation it takes to refine, and is going all out to refine a Nine-Turn Bloodline Evolution Fluid for him.

For this, he does not even hesitate to take out the essence of Undying Divine Medicine; even an Ancient Great Emperor acting would be no more than this.

This kind of thing is quite moving and touching.

Therefore, after the Great Saint pondered for a moment, he took the initiative to take on the job of going into the starry sky to collect various materials, but after Zhang Xuan thought about it, he shook his head.

"Searching in the starry sky of the Universe by individual power is too slow and not efficient enough. Moreover, many very special Divine Substances are very good at avoiding the search of divine sense; even as a Great Saint, it is not easy to collect them. On the contrary, some special detection equipment and technological means on the Eternal Ancient Star can achieve very special uses."

As he spoke, without waiting for the many figures present to react, Zhang Xuan downloaded the refining method for a Sage-level Spaceship from the Eternal Ancient Star from the Chat Group's Group File.

Then, with fingers like knives, he took a huge piece of jade to carve, and soon wrote down the refining method and the required materials in front of everyone.

Seeing a group of people staring at Zhang Xuan with very surprised eyes, Zhang Xuan scratched his head in embarrassment and whispered: "Qingdi also once went to the Eternal Ancient Star; I obtained all of this from communicating with Qingdi."

"The development of the Eternal Star Domain is somewhat different from ours in many aspects, but many places are still the same."

"Following the map to find the horse, if we refine directly according to this blueprint, with the strength of the many figures present, refining a Great Saint-level Spaceship might be a bit difficult, but a Sage-level one is not."

"With such a spaceship, people below the Sage level can also travel in the starry sky of the Universe to collect materials, and special detection equipment can also easily collect more materials."

"People from the Eternal Ancient Star have basically never been to the deep space of our Universe, so there are many precious materials in a large area of the star domain, and we should be able to collect some materials very effectively."

Gai Jiuyou has already experienced several shocks, so he accepted it quickly this time and was the first to take the refining materials and method to look at them.

Jiang Taixu and the Daoist from the Cai Family also looked for a while. Jizi squatted silently on the side for a while, then said: "The family has many of the materials; I can ask the people in the family for them."

Jiang Taixu also nodded: "These are all common artifact-refining materials, but the refining method is very special and needs to be determined strictly according to the standards. The Jiang Family is not short of these materials and can provide them."
