Chapter 210: Immortal Divine Medicine, Plotting Against the Quasi-Emperor

"You've come!"

Inside the Dragon Transformation Pool, that Great Saint of the Cai Family was still sitting beside the Hengyu Furnace; this time, Seven-Colored Radiance was already flickering within the furnace.

One could smell a rich fragrance as soon as one approached; endless rays of light were gestating within, only to be suppressed by the Hengyu Furnace, preventing the overall aura and fluctuations from spreading too far.

"Mm, I went out for a walk and handled some matters."

Zhang Xuan was increasingly calm and composed.

Within his Sendai, the Immortal Cauldron vibrated slightly, echoing in harmony with the God-Marked Purple Gold Tower.

The Great Saint seemed to sense something and looked up at Zhang Xuan.

"You are becoming more and more mysterious. I have lived for over eight thousand years, yet I have never heard of any trace of you across this entire world."

Zhang Xuan merely smiled: "There are truly too many secrets between heaven and earth; who could possibly know them all?"

"This time when I went out, I found a treasure left for me by a friend."

As Zhang Xuan said this, he took out a portion of Seven Tribulations Earth Essence directly from his person; this was the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid, the most crucial Divine Substance for refining from the Seven-Turn to the Eight-Turn, and also the Divine Substance currently in short supply.

The Great Saint, who had been very indifferent just a moment ago, was suddenly unsettled upon seeing the Seven Tribulations Earth Essence.

"You actually found such a Divine Substance?"

"I told you, it was left for me by a friend. I had entrusted him to find it for me years ago; there had been no response until now, and since I suddenly remembered it, I went and retrieved it."

While speaking, Zhang Xuan also took out a large pile of auxiliary materials used for refining the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid from his person.

It piled up into a large heap, filling the space completely.

"A friend of yours..."

The Great Saint's expression became somewhat peculiar, and he stopped mid-sentence.

Gai Jiuyou had already refined three Saint-level Spaceships during these days, which could travel through the starry sky of the Universe; people from the Ji Family, the Jiang Family, and the Demon Race had all headed into the starry sky.

Yet, after searching for such a long time, let alone the most essential Divine Substance, even the auxiliary materials for refining the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid were scarce.

And now, the materials Zhang Xuan had casually produced were so numerous it was terrifying—it might have taken those people hundreds of years to search for them.

The whole thing was simply absurd.

Zhang Xuan sensed that the other party might be a bit suspicious, so he shrugged and smiled: "I suddenly remembered a few things, so I went to the treasure cache and took them out. It was indeed collected for me by a friend."

"That friend of yours must be extremely powerful; I wonder if I might be able to meet him."

"I'm afraid that's not possible; he is in another world."

Zhang Xuan didn't even need to lie; he answered directly, and a look of sorrow appeared on the Great Saint's face.

"My apologies."

"It's fine, it's just a small matter."

Zhang Xuan was very relaxed; now, even if he said himself that he didn't have a powerful background and hadn't spoken with Qingdi, I'm afraid many people wouldn't believe him.

The main thing was that the items he produced were becoming increasingly astonishing, and more and more evidence proved that Zhang Xuan must have an extraordinary origin and past.

Yet, even with the power of the Desolate Ancient Family and the strength of Gai Jiuyou, there was no way to know more about Zhang Xuan's past.

"I wonder if, with such Divine Substance, it is possible to refine the Eight-Turn Bloodline Evolution Fluid."

"No problem; this step is not very difficult, and I can refine it at the moment."

The Great Saint of the Cai Family nodded and estimated the approximate time: "With these Divine Substances, plus about half a month, it should be successful."

"In that case, we can let Wei Yi of the Heaven Swallowing Holy Land use it. After he saw that Saint Body last time, the knot in his heart was mostly untied. He himself is not far from the Great Saint realm and can break through with just a little time. With this Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid, it should be enough for him to break through recently."

"Better to wait a while!"

Before Zhang Xuan could speak, Jiang Taixu, dressed in white, suddenly walked in from outside.

At this moment, the God King Jiang Taixu had a waterfall of black hair, oily and smooth, his eyes shining with divine light, yet his aura was increasingly peaceful, no longer as oppressive as before.

Yet, the moment the Great Saint looked at him, a look of surprise appeared on his face, followed by a smile.

"Not bad. I thought it would take some time, but I didn't expect you to have already reached the level of a Saint King so quickly."

"Thanks to the guidance of the senior, and thanks to the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid provided by Brother Zhang."

The God King was neither humble nor arrogant, his demeanor very composed, always making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze; even Zhang Xuan couldn't help but take another look at this God King.

Because of his intervention, Caiyun Xianzi had not died, and the God King was not that sorrowful, nor did he have hair that turned white overnight.

At the same time, when Ye Fan underwent his tribulation, it was also dismantled by the Great Saint; in that disaster, the God King did not cut off his own Origin.

But by a twist of fate, after all sorts of paths had been traversed, the God King still firmly took that step, crossing into the realm of the Saint King, even faster than in the original story.

One can only say that the God King's talent and aptitude were earth-shattering to begin with; after all sorts of hardships, he was still able to move forward rapidly.

"Why wait a while?"

The Great Saint of the Cai Family asked curiously.

"Now that the Ancient Race has appeared on a large scale, many of the Ancient Race are dissatisfied with the current Human Race, but there are only some small frictions, and no major problems have occurred."

"Many of the younger generation have not received enough tempering. If Senior Wei Yi directly undergoes the Great Saint Tribulation, I fear it will bring quite a shock to the Ancient Race, and many subsequent situations might not happen."

"I think that among the younger generation today, many need some tempering."

The Great Saint of the Cai Family nodded, and Zhang Xuan nodded, then shook his head: "Once the Great Saint Tribulation begins, it will definitely alarm the entire starry sky; this star field where Beidou is located will have people sensing it. You can delay the tribulation, but the breakthrough in cultivation does not need to be deliberately suppressed. The Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid can still be provided; let Wei Yi prepare, possess the strength of a Great Saint, but just not undergo the tribulation for now."

"We can just strike at the critical moment then."

This remark received the joint approval of the Cai Family Great Saint and Jiang Taixu.

And Zhang Xuan did not stop completely as he said this, continuing: "As for the disputes between the Ancient Race and the subsequent Human Race, the appearance of one or two top-tier experts will temporarily suppress these disputes, but those who harbor hostility will not disappear."

"Rather than letting these people hide their hostility in their hearts when the Human Race is strong, only to settle scores later when the Human Race is weak, it is better to fish for them now and draw them all out."

As Zhang Xuan said this, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"In the eyes of many of the Ancient Race, the Human Race is the weakest. Not only are there many among the Ancient Race who are dissatisfied with the Human Race and have stood up."

"Even within the Human Race itself, there are many who lean toward the Ancient Race. Since there are so many people who have no good feelings toward the Human Race, then why not wait a period of time and let them all jump out? I would like to see just how many such people there are."

"Since we have such strength, then how we negotiate peace and when we negotiate peace must be done according to our rhythm."

In the original trajectory, a considerable portion of the Ancient Race was dissatisfied with the Human Race and committed many slaughters; this was true not only in the present day but even back in the Taigu era.

Many advocate for peace and harmonious coexistence, but the Ancient Race does not think that way.

When the Human Race was weak, they tried every means to coexist peacefully; now that they have grown strong, must they still swallow their pride, cast aside past prejudices, cast aside past hatreds, and talk about so-called peace?

Zhang Xuan does not accept this.

Of course, he can also practice the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art while he is at it.

When the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art is cultivated to its absolute peak, it can forge a Chaos Body, which requires ten thousand types of Origin from the world.

The quality of the Origin that Zhang Xuan has swallowed so far is terrifyingly high, but there is still a significant lack in terms of quantity.

He also wants to test if there is any difference between the Origin of the Ancient Myriad Tribes and the Origin of the Human Race.

"It is possible, but will the subsequent pressure be too great?"

God King Jiang Taixu is somewhat worried; he is not cowardly, but mainly because, looking at the current strength comparison, the Human Race has top-tier combat power, but not much in quantity, and there is also a great lack of mid-level combat power.

If a large-scale battle truly breaks out with the Ancient Race and the hatred becomes very deep, it might be very difficult to clean up the aftermath.

Following the original plot rhythm, the appearance of two Great Saints might not be enough to suppress the situation.

In the end, it might require Gai Jiuyou to step forward.

And since Gai Jiuyou has to deal with the Dark Turmoil hundreds of years later, it is better not to appear too domineering at this stage or reveal his own state too clearly.

"There are problems, but there are many ways to solve them."

Zhang Xuan is not panicked; he has certain plans in his heart.

Seeing both of them looking at him, he took out seven pieces of top-tier Divine Substance from his body and smiled: "Didn't I say before? I found a friend of mine and found the treasures he once left for me."

"This..."

Looking at the Taichu Life Stone, Heavenly Mandate Rock, Dead World Heart, Meteor Withered Vine Heart, and other top-tier Divine Substances placed before them.

God King Jiang Taixu and that Cai Family Great Saint are both unsettled.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... eight!"

"Eight types of Divine Substance?"

"With so many Divine Substances, one could refine many portions of Eight-Turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Liquid."

Cai Family Great Saint and God King Jiang Taixu are both intensely shaken.

They had thought there would be many Divine Substances, but they did not expect there to be so many.

"Was that friend of yours back then Qingdi?"

The Cai Family Great Saint is shocked; the main reason is that the materials on the scene are truly too many. They have witnessed the uniqueness of such Divine Substances and clearly know how rare the eight types of Divine Substance used as main materials are.

Collecting one or two pieces might be possible by relying on the power of a Saint and long periods of time, but gathering eight types of Divine Substance in the same period, and with so many complete auxiliary materials, is another matter.

That is absolutely not something a Saint could achieve. During the peak of the Eternal Star Domain, it took a whole bunch of Great Saints and the support of the entire star domain and countless people to refine Eight-Turn Bloodline Evolution Liquid.

That was only possible with the joint support of the entire opportunity that such magnificent power could exist.

And for Zhang Xuan to achieve this through just one friend, in their minds, that friend could only be Qingdi.

"No, it is not Qingdi. Qingdi did leave things for me, but they are not these."

Zhang Xuan smiled and shook his head, then pointed to this pile of divine materials and said: "Moreover, what I want to refine is not Eight-Turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Liquid; I want to try and practice refining the Nine-Turn."

"A single Great Saint cannot suppress that terrifying turmoil; I think a Quasi-Emperor likely has the ability and qualifications to do so."

"Lure out all the main-war faction of the other side, and then slaughter them all; I think the Ancient Race will become capable of singing and dancing thereafter, and will not be overly aggressive."

God King Jiang Taixu is slightly moved, then looks at the Cai Family Great Saint in front of him.

The Cai Family Great Saint furrows his brows, and after pondering for a long time, he says: "I had confidence in the Quasi-Emperor Realm in my earlier years, but in my later years, my Qi and blood decayed, and my physical state worsened day by day; even with deeper Dao practice, I had no ability to step into the Quasi-Emperor Realm."

"Now, with the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill Residual Pill given to me by Daoist Zhang, I have extended my life by a thousand years and my state is excellent, but I cannot directly rush into the Quasi-Emperor Realm in a short time; it requires a certain period of tempering."

"Quasi-Emperor, Quasi-Emperor; after all, it carries the word 'Emperor'. Once one achieves Quasi-Emperor, it is vastly different from a Great Saint. A difference of one word is a difference of heaven and earth; I cannot achieve it in a short time."

"What if there is Nine-Turn Bloodline Evolution Fluid?"

Zhang Xuan still does not give up on his previous idea; he hopes to be stable in doing anything. Having ten-tenths of certainty is of course best, but nine-tenths is not bad either.

"If there is, of course, one can make a breakthrough in the short term, but refining the strongest Nine-Turn Bloodline Evolution Liquid requires Undying Divine Medicine, which is too wasteful."

"It is fine, I will solve this problem."

Zhang Xuan is not panicked at all; he has many ways in this regard.

Beidou, which is nearby, has multiple stalks of Undying Divine Medicine. Whether it is the True Dragon Undying Divine Medicine, the Phoenix Undying Divine Medicine, or the Nine Wonders Undying Divine Medicine in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, there are corresponding, definite locations and ways to obtain them.

The True Dragon Undying Divine Medicine is in the tomb of the Ruthless Great Emperor; it is not easy to go and take it. Even if Gai Jiuyou does it himself, Zhang Xuan feels it might not be very stable.

After all, the Ruthless Great Emperor is still alive. If she is angered and the Ruthless Great Emperor takes action, even Gai Jiuyou cannot hold out.

But the True Phoenix Undying Divine Medicine can be tricked; there is a True Phoenix Undying Divine Medicine inside the tomb of Wushi Dadi in Purple Mountain.

It is not easy for others to explore it at will, but there is no need to send others; sending the Black Emperor over can solve a big problem.

The Black Emperor definitely has the ability to go deep into Purple Mountain; after all, it is the dog raised by Wushi Dadi.

The same logic applies to the Huanggu Jinqu; if it really does not work, just send Ye Fan over.

There is no need to pick all of the Nine Wonders Undying Divine Medicine; just picking a part of it, and then cutting off some roots and branches, is enough to gather the divinity of a complete Undying Divine Medicine.

Ye Fan can definitely do it, and only Ye Fan will not die upon entering the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

If it really does not work, one can also wait for the growth of the two stalks of Undying Divine Medicine in the Plantation; they will be truly mature in just about two years.

And for two years, Zhang Xuan feels he can afford to wait.

There are simply too many backup plans.
