Chapter 299

"When refining elixirs, first refine a base elixir of the type you need for these three categories, then awaken its spirit to strengthen it."

"The core of an elixir lies in its medicinal effect and medicinal nature; this is the core of the second realm: increasing the elixir's strength!"

"This realm requires constructing an energy vortex within the elixir; with each rotation of the vortex, a vast amount of spiritual energy is produced, which then refines and enlarges the elixir."

"I have calculated that no matter how high the quality or how solid the foundation of an elixir, it can only be refined nine times; thus, the second realm is also called the Nine Transformations Realm."

"Nine transformations represent the absolute peak, pushing the elixir to its utmost limit to enlarge itself to the extreme."

"If the foundation is established and further enlargement becomes impossible, one must change the elixir's very source of life, causing its essence to leap forward; this is the core of the third realm."

"The Spirit Shedding Realm!"

"To shed the spirit means to cast off the old womb and evolve a new life; using the attributes inherent in the elixir, cause it to comprehend the corresponding Great Dao, merge the Great Dao into itself, and replace its original materials with Great Dao runes and rules, thereby transforming and evolving it."

"For instance, an elixir concerning vitality will integrate the Life Great Dao into it; the Life Great Dao replaces its original materials, achieving a transformation at the level of the life source, turning the elixir into a true Dao-Rule Elixir and Great Dao Elixir; this is the Spirit Shedding Realm."

"If the alchemist's own level is high enough to directly use the Great Dao as an elixir, then the second realm can be skipped; the Great Dao's power can directly evolve into an elixir, instantly reaching the third realm of the Supreme Alchemy Dao system, bypassing the first two realms."

"These considerations are for those with zero foundation or those whose cultivation base and Alchemy Dao levels are not high."

Having spoken thus, Taqing paused slightly, as if catching his breath, or perhaps giving everyone a moment to digest the information.

If he were refining an elixir himself, he would certainly need no nine refinements or anything of the sort, nor any materials; he could simply refine the elixir directly using the power of the Great Dao.

However, ninety-nine percent of the beings in the Honghuang have a comprehension of the Alchemy Dao far inferior to his; naturally, their situation must be considered, so Taqing simplified it; there is no need to elaborate on this point.

"The Supreme Alchemy Dao system..."

Silence fell over the entire Three Pure Palace and even the Honghuang Continent; every single being was immersed in the terror of this Supreme Alchemy Dao system. Even the Honghuang giants benefited greatly, occasionally having moments of sudden realization or deep thought, clearly gaining much inspiration and profound mystery from it. Although Taqing had only spoken the beginning of the Supreme Alchemy Dao system, by observing a single spot through a bamboo tube, all beings could discern some clues and perceive its mysteries; this Supreme Alchemy Dao system truly lives up to its name, worthy indeed of being a Supreme system!

Using the Great Dao as an elixir and cultivating through the elixir's spirit—how could this be described merely as terrifying? It is simply magnificent; perhaps before long, a new race will appear in Honghuang.

Its name... Elixir!

The Elixir Clan!

"Starting from the fourth realm, the true beginning of the Supreme Alchemy Dao system will commence."

"The fourth realm is called the Elixir Transformation Realm."

"An elixir, if made from the Great Dao, has already reached its possible limit; even by smelting and refining Great Dao rules, the growth and change it can achieve are also limited to the extreme."

"If one wishes to become stronger, then it is the Elixir Shattering, the Elixir Transformation."

"With one's own Great Dao as the core, evolve the Three Thousand Great Daos and construct a Great Dao nucleus."

"For example, if the Energy Great Dao is the elixir, open a Sumeru Atom within the elixir, condense the Three Thousand Energy Great Daos as a foundation, and then expand from there."

"Vitality can strengthen itself, the source can strengthen itself, and even Lei Ting, Yin-Yang, and many other Great Daos; each Great Dao relies on an energy nucleus as its vessel, evolving outward from there to form a Dao."

"Using the method of extracting essence from the Alchemy Dao, strip away the unnecessary parts of the Great Dao, take the essence and the characteristics useful for the elixir, and evolve from there."

"Thus, if one evolves the Three Thousand Great Daos, one can possess three thousand methods with the Energy Dao as the core, forging a Three Thousand Great Dao Elixir; this is, in essence, a transformation, also the Elixir Transformation."

"Compared to merely enlarging the Great Dao, this fundamentally elevates the elixir's level, causing earth-shaking changes in the elixir."

Seeing that everyone seemed to have digested the information, Taqing spoke slowly.

"Hiss..."

"Hiss..."

"Hiss..."

Upon these words, a series of gasps rose; all beings were stunned, completely shocked by Taqing's bold idea and terrifying system.

One must know, this is the Three Thousand Great Daos, and moreover, it takes the essence, strips away the dross, and gathers an elixir containing the Three Thousand Great Daos; how awesome this elixir is can be imagined; taking just one pill, wouldn't one instantly become Immortal Hunyuan, achieving Immortal Hunyuan on the spot?

What, the difficulty is high?

Does the high difficulty concern them?

After all, they are not the ones cultivating; it is the elixir that cultivates.

Originally, elixirs contain spirit, making them naturally compatible; the cultivation speed will not be slow; they can simply sit back and enjoy the finished product; how could this be described merely as a win-win situation?

Defying Heaven!

Defying Heaven!!!

Truly worthy of the name Supreme Alchemy Dao system!

"The fifth realm of the Supreme Alchemy Dao system is called the Elixir Fusion Realm."

"Fusing the Three Thousand Great Daos, gathering the Three Thousand Great Daos, merging every Sumeru Atom into one, integrating them one by one into the elixir's nucleus, returning the original Three Thousand Great Dao Elixir to a single Great Dao Elixir; this allows the medicinal nature to be more integrated and can unleash even more terrifying and powerful medicinal effects."

"During the fusion, the wonders of the Three Thousand Great Daos can be gathered; the Great Dao evolves into minor Daos, and the minor Daos are gathered."

"One Dao contains about three thousand minor Daos; each of the three thousand minor Daos represents the extreme of one characteristic of that Great Dao. Thus, similar to the fourth realm, take the essence, strip away the unnecessary, until one Dao evolves into three thousand, and three thousand evolve into nine million; then perform another fusion, another gathering, reaching the extreme that a Great Dao Elixir can achieve; this is the fifth realm!"

"My deduction of the Supreme Alchemy Dao system has currently reached this point; subsequent realms are still evolving. When I have deduced them, I will open the next lecture. If you have any questions, speak them freely."

Having spoken, Taqing's eyes were calm, his gaze resting on all the beings in the great hall as he waited silently.

"You call this just preliminary?"

"You call this preliminary?"

"You call this basic???"

After a moment of deathly silence in the hall, all beings, even the Honghuang giants, could not help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

What a display of false modesty!

What a pretentious act of being pure and refined!

They had actually thought it was very weak, truly just basic.

Many beings were thinking of listening first and postponing cultivation for now; after all, if it is merely preliminary and basic, why cultivate? It is not too late to wait until it is more perfected.

As it turns out, well.

They are cultivating the Three Thousand Great Daos, extending the Three Thousand Minor Daos, fusing a full nine million types of Dao into one; how terrifying and powerful must the level of this elixir be?

Even as an elixir, it could absolutely suppress any powerhouse of the Heavenly Dao layer with ease; saying that no elixir is invincible below the Great Dao Realm would not be an exaggeration.

If consumed, it is even more unimaginable; as long as one is not exploded by the elixir's medicinal nature, one might even directly achieve the Great Dao Realm.

Was there any need for Gil to hesitate!

This still counts as Gil's foundation and starting point!

Cultivate!

Must cultivate!

That is definitely a must to cultivate!

Also, since when has Taqing become so good at showing off?

Oh, after his personality changed, he seemed to have become increasingly flashy to begin with.

Then there's no problem.

"Yuanshi Tianzun, I ask: if we cultivate the elixir in this manner, should we consume it or not?"

"If we consume it, then cultivation is endless; when is the most suitable time to eat? If we do not eat it, then is it not merely a decoration, unable to transform into strength at all?"

After a long while, a living being came to his senses, rose, and respectfully asked.

"What difficulty is there in this? Preserve the core and use the periphery; as long as the elixir's core is not destroyed, consuming a portion is harmless. If it is truly needed, then one would not care whether to continue letting it grow."

Taqing said lightly.

"We have received instruction."

The living being realized.

"Yuanshi Tianzun..."

"Yuanshi Tianzun..."

"Yuanshi Tianzun..."

One by one, living beings rose to ask; to this, Taqing naturally answered each one in turn.

This questioning lasted a full number of years; when the last living being realized and sat down, this session of answers finally ended completely.

"Since there are no further doubts, I shall now begin to detail the Supreme Elixir Dao system for you."

Taqing said slowly; upon finishing his words, a series of majestic, vast, boundless, and mighty voices, like the sounds of the Great Dao, emerged from the Three Pure Palace, resonating throughout the entire Honghuang Continent.

"The Dao originates from One."

"The Elixir imparts the subtle, derives the method, is born from the boundless, and gathers..."

Every word was like a heavenly sound; every sentence was like a heavenly decree.

In an instant, heavenly flowers rained down and golden lotuses surged from the earth; it seemed as if billions of rays of light and purple qi flew up, with boundless auspicious qi and colorful radiance reflecting between heaven and earth, as flowers of spiritual energy were born from nothingness and merged into the bodies of all living beings.

Furthermore, fluctuations of Great Dao fragments occurred; it seemed as if Great Dao runes were falling, evolving into unimaginable mysteries.

When lecturing on the Dao, there are no years; in a blink, tens of hundreds of thousands of years had passed.

When Taqing stopped lecturing on the Dao, the void seemed to retain lingering echoes, with Taqing's voice echoing between heaven and earth; the crowd remained as if still intoxicated by Taqing's lecture, their minds unsettled for a long time, unable to clear their heads.
