Chapter 606: The Crystallization of Universal Samsara: Chaos Crystal, Medicine Civilization

"Besides Immortal Medicine seeds, are there any other Treasures?"

"For example, Immortal Pills from the Medicine Civilization?"

Zhou Sui looked at the Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron with great anticipation; if he could obtain a large quantity of high-grade Immortal Pills, the benefits to him would likely be immense, allowing him to improve his cultivation much faster.

After all, even planting Immortal Medicine requires a certain amount of time.

It is not like Immortal Pills, which can be consumed directly.

"Originally, I did store quite a few Immortal Pills."

"Unfortunately, due to poor preservation and the shifting of the Universe, these Immortal Pills lost their medicinal potency and completely vanished into thin air; at present, only some well-preserved seeds remain."

The Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron said with great helplessness.

Originally, it had indeed stored a large quantity of Immortal Pills, but unfortunately, they could not withstand the passage of time and eventually vanished into thin air.

It can be said that being able to survive such a long period and still preserve some Immortal Medicine seeds is already extraordinary.

How could it still preserve a large quantity of Immortal Pills?

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Zhou Sui felt a little regretful, but he did not think much of it.

Obtaining these Immortal Medicine seeds was already a massive harvest; even without Immortal Pills, it did not matter at all.

"However, although I do not have Immortal Pills, I do have another kind of Treasure."

"That is the Chaos Crystal."

The Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron smiled slightly.

"Chaos Crystal? What is that?"

Zhou Sui asked curiously.

"I believe you also know that the highest-grade energy crystal in the Immortal World is the Supreme Grade Immortal Stone."

"The energy contained within a single Supreme Grade Immortal Stone is quite vast."

"Only a few Immortal Veins can possibly gestate Supreme Grade Immortal Stones."

"However, in the entire Universe, there actually exist energy crystals that surpass Supreme Grade Immortal Stones."

"That is the Chaos Crystal."

The Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron explained.

"Why have I never heard of such an energy crystal before?"

Zhou Sui blinked, wanting to know what exactly this so-called Chaos Crystal was.

"That is normal, because the Chaos Crystal is not an energy crystal that the Immortal World can gestate."

"Rather, it is a special crystal gestated only when the Universe restarts and a Big Bang occurs."

"When all worlds and living beings are destroyed and return to chaos, there is a chance for Chaos Crystals to appear."

"Every single such Chaos Crystal is worth a fortune."

"Even Immortal Kings covet Chaos Crystals, because as long as one swallows a Chaos Crystal, it can greatly promote the growth of one's Inner Cave World, saving an unknown number of years of bitter cultivation."

"At the same time, the Chaos Crystal also contains vast information on the Heavenly Law; if one swallows a Chaos Crystal, there is a chance to comprehend many Heavenly Laws, thereby entering a state of sudden enlightenment."

"Therefore, every Chaos Crystal is a supreme treasure that is impossible to circulate."

"I only had the chance to scavenge some Chaos Crystals after experiencing the restarting of the Universe time and time again."

"It can be said that this is a supreme treasure that can only be obtained by surviving the Samsara of the Universe."

The Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron sighed with emotion.

"There is actually such a treasure in the world?"

Hearing this, Zhou Sui felt very shocked inside; an energy crystal that can only be gestated during the Samsara of the Universe—no wonder there has never been any information about Chaos Crystals circulating in the Immortal World.

Even if someone really knew similar news, they would likely not spread it.

It would definitely be tightly controlled by the Immortal Kings.

It would be impossible for other immortals to obtain one; if one appeared, the Immortal Kings would likely take action personally to seize it.

"Is it only possible to obtain Chaos Crystals during the Big Bang of the Universe?"

Zhou Sui could not help but ask.

"As for that, naturally, one can obtain some Chaos Crystals during the Big Bang of the Universe."

"However, this is not a one-hundred-percent certainty."

"Occasionally, some Chaos Crystals will fly to every corner of the Universe and then be buried in the corner of some world."

"But these Chaos Crystals can only be swallowed and absorbed by existences above the Immortal King level."

"As for living beings below the Immortal King level, even if they really obtained one, it would only be treated as a sturdy stone, a special material that cannot be destroyed by ordinary power."

"So, it is not impossible for some lucky people to obtain a Chaos Crystal."

"But such occurrences are truly few and far between."

The Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron thought for a moment and gave an explanation.

"So that's how it is."

"Then how many Chaos Crystals have you obtained?"

Zhou Sui nodded, agreeing with this point very much.

If only Immortal Kings could swallow and digest Chaos Crystals, then even if other living beings obtained a Chaos Crystal, they would have no way to use it at all.

Because it is an extremely sturdy crystal, power below the Immortal King level cannot destroy a Chaos Crystal.

This also led to it becoming a special type of sturdy material.

After all, similar materials also exist in the Immortal World; they are not considered too rare at all.

"About five Chaos Crystals, I suppose."

The Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron said triumphantly.

"Is it only five?"

Zhou Sui was slightly disappointed.

"What is the meaning of that expression on your face? Are you complaining that it's too few?"

"Do you have any idea what the concept of five Chaos Crystals is? They could even be exchanged for a King-grade Immortal Artifact."

"You fellow are truly blessed but don't know it."

"If I hadn't survived one Samsara after another, I wouldn't have been able to obtain so many Chaos Crystals."

"Of course, the reason I obtained so few is also because I was injured."

The Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron said through gritted teeth, feeling as if it had been looked down upon by this brat.

To tell the truth, it also regretted it deeply.

It had survived the Universe's Samsara time and again and had seen the Universe erupt with massive amounts of Chaos Crystals.

Unfortunately, it was severely injured and could not exert much power at all.

It could only watch helplessly as a large number of Chaos Crystals flew past it, unable to do anything about it.

Only five Chaos Crystals had inadvertently fallen by its side, allowing it to obtain them.

Otherwise, it feared it wouldn't have been able to obtain even a single Chaos Crystal.

It was basically a case of entering a mountain of treasures only to return empty-handed.

"So that's how it is. Is it because of your injuries?"

"In other words, as long as I help you recover from your injuries, that would be enough, right?"

Zhou Sui stroked his chin. He sensed that the Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron's injuries were indeed extremely severe; this Bronze Tripod was covered in dense, intricate cracks, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

If it were not a King-grade Immortal Artifact, it would have been impossible to hold on for such a long time.

"Help me recover from my injuries?"

"Although I would like that, it is basically an impossible task."

"The injuries on my body right now are truly too heavy, far too heavy."

"To restore my power to its peak, I don't even know how much resources and time it would take."

The Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron said with great helplessness.

It was very clear about its current physical condition; even in the heyday of the Medicine Civilization, it estimated that it would only have ended up being scrapped. It had little hope of recovering.

Boom~~

Before the Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron could finish speaking, the clone Zhou Sui moved his mind and activated the power of the Golden Cicada Gu.

The main body had already teleported the Golden Cicada Gu over just a moment ago.

Whoosh!

A golden light instantly descended upon the Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron.

This was the Golden Cicada Gu's Life-Bound Immortal Art—Great Recovery Art.

And this Immortal Technique could not only heal the injuries of living beings but could also heal the injuries of Dharma Treasures, allowing the time on the Dharma Treasure to revert to a healthy moment.

It could be described as infinitely profound and mysterious.

What?!

The Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron was instantly stunned. It felt its body becoming warm, as if it were soaking in a hot spring, and it felt an unprecedented warmth.

Under the illumination of this golden light, it was shocked to perceive that the cracks on its body were actually recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye; its body was actually healing.

This was truly inconceivable.

The scene unfolding before its eyes had already exceeded its imagination.

"This, what exactly is this Immortal Technique?"

"Could it be that the civilization of this current era has developed to the point where even King-grade Immortal Artifacts can be repaired?"

The Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron looked at Zhou Sui in disbelief.

It noticed that the vital energy in its body had already partially recovered.

Although it could not be considered a complete recovery, at the very least, it had recovered from a state of being on the verge of death to a state of being seriously ill.

It was basically out of critical condition.

If it continued to receive treatment, then perhaps it really could return to its peak.

"The era has changed."

"If it were the era of the Medicine Civilization, your injuries might have been difficult to recover from."

"But in this current era, that is not a big problem at all."

"As long as you aren't instantly killed, you can recover."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly, looking at the Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron with a mysterious and unfathomable smile.

"Meeting you is indeed this old man's stroke of luck."

The Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron was incredibly excited.

If one could live, who would want to die?

It had never expected that there would actually come a day when it could recover from its injuries.

Persisting for so long had indeed been the right choice.

As long as one is still alive, lucky things will always happen.

"Hmm? It seems enemies are coming."

"This place is not suitable for a long stay; let's leave quickly."

Suddenly, Zhou Sui's Heart Eye Power expanded across hundreds of millions of kilometers, immediately sensing countless Dark creatures and Dark Race Cultivators flying in from the distance.

Among them were no lack of Great Luo Golden Immortal level existences, and there were even Immortal King level powerhouses.

This power was simply shaking the surrounding Void.

If one continued to stay here, death was almost certain.

Fortunately, he had already obtained the greatest benefits and there was no longer any need to stay in this place.

"The enemy is coming? Could it be that the Dark Race of the Eternal Night Land has been alarmed?"

"That's right, this is the territory of the Dark Race; now that so many Great Luo Golden Immortals have been killed, it is impossible for them not to come for revenge."

"But this place is the Eternal Night Land, how can one escape alive?"

Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron's expression was very ugly; it felt that the trouble was huge now, and wanting to run away was almost impossible.

After all, this was the territory of the Dark Race.

When it came to escape speed, how could one compare to the Dark Race?

Before, it had been too happy and had actually forgotten this point.

This also caused them to fall into a dangerous situation.

"There is no need to worry about anything."

The clone Zhou Sui waved his hand and immediately put away the Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron.

Boom~~

Instantly, he cast the Great Substitution Technique and was replaced in an instant with another clone staying in the Divine Tree World.

Then, this transferred clone was annihilated in an instant.

In this way, no matter how powerful the enemy was, it would be impossible to track his whereabouts.

In any case, it was only a clone.

If he wanted to condense another one, it was just a matter of a single thought; it didn't count for anything at all.

…………

Not long after, a mighty Dark Race army rushed over.

A vast Darkness aura permeated the surroundings, instantly drowning the flames of this ruined city.

Terrifying Darkness energy flowed into every corner.

The pure land created by the Hope Fire just now was only a fleeting existence.

Even if flames could restrain ice and snow, if the power of ice and snow was too strong, it could still extinguish the flames.

Facing the terrifying Darkness energy, the weak Hope Fire was completely no match.

"This place is filled with a disgusting aura of flames everywhere."

"Who exactly killed our Dark Race clansmen?"

A voice came out, buzzing and ringing, seemingly causing the laws of the Void to vibrate.

The person speaking was none other than an Immortal King.

The Domain on its body instantly expanded for hundreds of millions of kilometers, drawing upon infinite Darkness energy.

It seemed that every thread of this area could not escape its search.

But no matter how it searched every part of this area, it could not find a trace of the enemy.

This also made it feel incomparably puzzled.

"Strange, why can't I find the traces of the culprit?"

"Could it be that the other party disappeared from this area in an instant?"

"Could it be that an Immortal King was the one who made the move?"

"But the aura left here does not seem to be an Immortal King, but merely a Great Luo Golden Immortal."

The Dark Race Immortal King frowned, feeling very puzzled; it was simply unable to understand it no matter how much it thought.

Originally, it wanted to find the culprit who slaughtered the Dark Race clansmen to take revenge.

But now, it could not find a single trace of the culprit.

Even if it took action personally, it could not find the enemy's whereabouts; this was very strange.

Without a doubt, the enemy was very good at hiding their tracks, and at the same time, their escape speed was also very fast.

"The one who made the move must be an Immortal King of the Human Race."

"Otherwise, how could they instantly kill nine Great Luo Golden Immortals and numerous clansmen?"

"You wouldn't think that a Cultivator of the same rank could contend against our Dark Race clansmen, would you?"

"However, this is not a big deal."

"If the Master awakens, then everything in this era will be destroyed."

"A mere Immortal King is simply struggling on death's door; everything they do has no meaning."

Another Dark Race Immortal King sneered.

It felt that this was nothing at all and could not possibly shake the foundation of the Dark Race.

As long as the Master awakens, then everything will be completely destroyed.

No living creature will be able to survive.

Even if those ancient Immortal Kings were to revive, it would still be the same.

"That's right, those Immortal Kings of the past actually joined forces, attempting to stop the Master from reviving."

"It is a pity that they underestimated the greatness of the Master and overestimated their own power."

"As a result, they all met with disaster and died prematurely."

"This group of ants just doesn't know the times and doesn't understand the heavenly mandate, which is why they are defeated time and time again."

"Do they really think they can defeat the Master?"

Another Dark Race Immortal King spoke, its tone containing terrifying killing intent.

"Isn't that so? If we hadn't been suppressed by the Heavenly Dao and fallen into a deep slumber."

"Mere ants, how could they possibly do anything to us? They are all just dust."

"How could they have possibly made us suffer such a great loss."

"Well said; even if they all rushed to their deaths, it would only delay the Master's awakening by a tiny bit, which has no meaning at all. They are simply a bunch of idiots."

"The only ones to be wary of are those ancient Immortal Kings who have crossed the Samsara. I wonder what those ancient Immortal Kings, those old antiques, are actually planning?"

Many Dark Race Immortal Kings discussed among themselves.

They held the Immortal Kings born in this era in contempt.

However, they were very wary of those ancient Immortal Kings from the Prehistoric Civilization.

After all, those ancient Immortal Kings had survived for who knows how many years, hiding in who knows where.

Perhaps they were secretly plotting some conspiracy.

Even if the Master held such conspiracies in contempt, they, as members of the Dark Race, were still very wary.

They were terrified that if they were even slightly careless, they would fall into an enemy's trap and die an untimely death.

"But even so, our great Dark Race is not something that can be killed by enemies at will."

"Don't let me find that guy's trail, otherwise I will definitely tear that guy into ten thousand pieces."

That Dark Race Immortal King gritted its teeth, feeling very unwilling, but it was also helpless.

Not only had the murderer long since left this place, but they had likely already returned to the territory of the Five Great Super Races.

Even with its strength, it was impossible to penetrate deep into the territory of the Five Great Super Races.

It could only act fiercely within the Eternal Night Land.

Therefore, facing such a situation, it had no choice but to choose to temporarily abandon revenge and wait for a suitable opportunity.

"Don't worry, the time is almost here, and they won't live for much longer."

"Soon, the Darkness will submerge the entire Immortal World."

One voice after another came out, making one's blood run cold.

…………

At the same time, in the Divine Tree World.

Zhou Sui also returned to this region with the King-grade Immortal Artifact Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron, having dodged the Dark Race's pursuit and escaped with his life, which left the Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron feeling very shocked.

"No way, we actually left the Eternal Night Land just like that?"

Seeing this scene, the Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron was dumbfounded, simply finding it hard to believe.

To tell the truth, it had originally thought that it was in dire straits this time; facing the pursuit of a Dark Race Immortal King, even if it didn't die, it would have to lose a layer of skin. Who could have imagined it would be so easy to escape.

Without a doubt, the space-time Immortal Technique mastered by this Great Luo Golden Immortal before its eyes was simply extraordinary, capable of instantly spanning endless distances; it was simply not something an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal could do.

No wonder this kid, relying on his Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation, could walk within the inner region of the Eternal Night Land; it turns out he had mastered such an escape method. This kind of method was indeed unfathomable.

"Don't make a fuss, it's just a small trick."

Zhou Sui said calmly.

"A small trick?"

"But compared to your method that can heal Immortal Artifacts, it really doesn't count for much."

"If you can find the ruins of the Vessel Civilization and obtain a large number of damaged Immortal Artifacts, perhaps you could obtain the inheritance of the Vessel Civilization and thereby gain a large number of Immortal Artifacts."

The Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron said in a deep voice.

It felt that the methods of this Human Race Great Luo Golden Immortal before its eyes were becoming increasingly unfathomable.

However, this was not necessarily a bad thing.

If he didn't have this bit of ability, how could he contend against the Eternal Night? Therefore, the more powerful this Great Luo Golden Immortal was, the better.

"Vessel Civilization? Then do you know where the ruins of the Vessel Civilization are?"

Zhou Sui raised his eyebrows and asked.

He realized that although the Eternal Night Land was extremely dangerous, it also contained countless opportunities.

Especially the ruins of various Prehistoric Civilizations, which were simply untapped treasures for the immortals of this era.

As long as one could obtain a ruin, the benefits gained from it would be simply countless.

To tell the truth, he felt that the reason the Five Great Super Races were able to develop to their current state was likely related to obtaining the ruins of Prehistoric Civilizations in the Eternal Night Land.

Otherwise, they would not possess this power that surpassed all other races.

"I don't know, the Eternal Night Land is simply too vast."

"And with the passage of time and changes in the geographical environment, who knows where the ruins of the Vessel Civilization are."

"I was just giving a suggestion."

The Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron said righteously.

After all, it had been seriously injured before and could only hide in the ruins of the Medicine Civilization, barely clinging to life.

If it hadn't been playing dead, it would likely have been wiped out by the creatures of the Dark Race long ago and would never have survived to this day.

Therefore, it didn't know much about the Eternal Night Land either, knowing at most some information about powerful civilizations.

"Alright, let's put that aside for now; searching for the Vessel Civilization is not a matter that can be done in a day."

"If the injuries on your body were completely recovered, what kind of abilities would you possess?"

Zhou Sui was very curious about the abilities of this King-grade Immortal Artifact, because as the inheritance Immortal Artifact of the Medicine Civilization, it must possess incredible abilities; otherwise, how could it inherit the legacy of the Medicine Civilization.

"The ability I possess is actually very simple, and that is Alchemy."

"As long as you find the corresponding Immortal Medicine and Spirit Medicine and put them into the Cauldron World, you can automatically refine Pills."

"And the efficiency of my Alchemy is not something that ordinary alchemists can compare to."

"It is entirely possible to refine Immortal Pills on a large scale; producing thousands or even tens of thousands of pills at once is no problem at all."

"However, even a clever housewife cannot cook without rice; if there are no Immortal Medicines, I cannot refine large quantities of Immortal Pills either."

The Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron said quite proudly.

Without a doubt, if anyone could obtain it, it would be equivalent to obtaining an Alchemist Grandmaster, and the strongest Alchemist Grandmaster in the entire Immortal World at that.

It alone could refine all the pills required to supply an entire sect.

This is the power of a King-grade Immortal Artifact; it is simply not something ordinary Immortal Artifacts can compare to.

"Of course, besides Alchemy, I also possess countless Pill Recipes from the Medicine Civilization."

"These are the crystallized wisdom of a Prehistoric Civilization, obtained after who knows how many years of effort."

"It is estimated that this era is incapable of mastering these special Pill Recipes."

"If you stay by my side to cultivate, I can also help you train a large number of alchemists, thereby enhancing the potential of the entire sect."

The Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron indicated that it was also an extremely excellent teacher; back when the Medicine Civilization still existed, it had once trained countless Alchemist Grandmasters.

Otherwise, it would not have become the King-grade Immortal Artifact that preserved the sparks of the Medicine Civilization.

"Not bad."

Hearing this, Zhou Sui felt very satisfied.

After all, for him, he already possessed too many powerful Immortal Artifacts, while auxiliary-type Immortal Artifacts were extremely rare.

Now, the appearance of the Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron would undoubtedly bring him tremendous help.

Especially for the development of the Xuanhuang Sect, it offered unimaginable benefits.

Because the Xuanhuang Sect was currently developing too rapidly, top-tier alchemists were still very scarce.

The higher the rank of the alchemist, the scarcer their numbers became.

But now, the appearance of the Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron could make up for such a deficiency.

Just this single King-grade Immortal Artifact was worth more than who knows how many alchemists.

Whether for himself or for the Xuanhuang Sect, the appearance of the Earth Emperor Medicine Cauldron was like timely rain.
