Chapter 16: Nine-Turn Immortal Pill

"This time is truly long!"

Feng Qingyang said with a sigh.

In these hundred years, traveling through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the insights gained were immense.

Furthermore, having already collected enough Immortal Essence, he was absolutely certain of living out a third life; as for a fourth life, that would require the accumulation of time!

He returned once again to the Donghuang of the Beidou Xingyu, looking at the Enlightenment Tree standing in this land, only to discover that the Enlightenment tea leaves had already been plucked by someone!

This made Feng Qingyang frown; besides himself, who else could possibly know the location of this Undying Medicine, the Enlightenment Tree?

The current Supremes were all in the Jinqu and naturally would not emerge at will, and Jiemie Tianzun should be in seclusion right now, making it even more impossible for him to come.

"Forget it, there is no need to know the details of this matter too clearly!"

It was not as if the Enlightenment Tree had been taken away, and quite a few Enlightenment tea leaves remained; Feng Qingyang did not want to waste too much time in this place.

He prepared to turn this place into a location for his own cultivation; after all, with the blessing of the Enlightenment Tree, Feng Qingyang's understanding of the Dao would be even more profound!

Naturally, he could not abandon this geomantic treasure land, though it was highly probable the other party might return, so he had to take some precautions.

Even if the other party's strength was not great, anyone capable of coming here could not be weak, so he still needed to have sufficient preparations!

Taking out the Pangu Axe, Feng Qingyang did not understand the arrangement of arrays; after all, his Dao was to break all laws with a single force—any difficulty would be shattered by extreme power!

This led him to prepare to use the aura emitted by the Pangu Axe, just as he had done at the Heavenly Domain Sacred Land; unless it was a cultivator above the Saint level, they would have no ability to enter!

For Feng Qingyang, this was the simplest and most effective method, and it was not troublesome!

The Chaos Qi emitted by the Pangu Axe shrouded the entire heaven and earth, and even if a cultivator above the Saint level entered, he would be able to detect it immediately!

After finishing all this, Feng Qingyang sat under the Enlightenment Tree to continue cultivating his understanding of the Great Dao!

After all, the great era was desolate, and there was nothing worth him waiting for; as for Di Zun, he had already left a seed of vigilance for Jiemie Tianzun, and he only needed to wait for it to slowly sprout!

…………

Time passed second by second, and in the blink of an eye, five thousand years had gone by!

At this moment, Feng Qingyang's body was permeated with extremely dense immortal energy; the life essence here was very abundant, and the Enlightenment Tree bloomed with brilliant light!

During this period, no major events had occurred, and it had been nearly ten thousand years since he attained the Dao!

It seemed that because he had broken the iron rule of the Zhetian Universe that there could only be one person who attained the Dao in an era, the will of the Heavenly Dao was unprecedentedly strong!

To completely dissipate, it was basically impossible to achieve without more than fifty thousand years!

Of course, for those heaven-gifted geniuses who had sealed themselves in Divine Source waiting for the arrival of the great era, they would not feel it was long at all; for them, the time passed in the blink of an eye!

At the same time, after so long, the figure of Di Zun appeared once again in the Northern Region of Donghuang in the Beidou Xingyu.

His purpose in coming this time was naturally to pluck the leaves from the Enlightenment Tree; if it were not for the fact that taking this Undying Medicine away would cause it to perish,

perhaps Di Zun would have long since uprooted this Undying Medicine, the Enlightenment Tree, and taken it away!

"Why is there a barrier here?"

Sensing the aura emitted from within, Di Zun frowned; last time, even using an Emperor-level Dharma treasure, he had not found the other party's trail, and this time he wanted to see exactly who was here!

Just as he entered, the Pangu Axe perceived him, and a monstrous Emperor-level pressure was emitted from within.

For a moment, it made Di Zun not dare to approach; his gaze fell upon the Pangu Axe, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes, and he recognized it instantly!

"Pangu Axe? Could Pangu Tianzun be here?"

As these words were spoken, Feng Qingyang opened his eyes and looked at the figure of a man who exuded a temperament transcending the secular world, as if he were the master of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

"Di Zun, why would he come here?"

With the appearance of the Lord of the Heavenly Court before him, Feng Qingyang also understood why the leaves on the Enlightenment Tree had been plucked five thousand years ago; it was highly likely that he had done it.

"Pangu Tianzun, I didn't expect you to actually be here!"

Facing Di Zun, who had once severely wounded him, Feng Qingyang did not rush to act; in any case, he might not necessarily be able to kill him, so it was better to see what he wanted to do.

"I came here, what does it have to do with you?"

After the words fell, Di Zun was not angry, but smiled slightly.

"I didn't expect Pangu Tianzun to know there is an Enlightenment Tree here!"

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Feng Qingyang's eyes, and a dense power of blood and Qi erupted from his body, causing the entire heaven and earth to stagnate.

"Di Zun, this place is my territory; I'm afraid you cannot take the leaves of this Enlightenment Tree!"

Upon hearing this, Di Zun frowned deeply, looking at the overbearing Feng Qingyang, but he had no intention of making a move!

After all, Feng Qingyang had first beheaded Changsheng Tianzun, and later beheaded those two Supremes from Taichu Gukuang; if he made a move against him, he would naturally not gain any advantage!

Furthermore, clashing with Feng Qingyang at this time was not a wise move!

But the Enlightenment tea leaves were of no small use to him, and he certainly did not want to let go of this Enlightenment Tree, so he spoke up.

"Pangu Tianzun, I do have designs on this Enlightenment Tree, but I only want its leaves; do you intend to set yourself against me, the Lord of the Heavenly Court?"

As these words were spoken, Feng Qingyang gave a cold laugh.

"So much time has passed, is your memory not very good, Di Zun? Do you really think I would retreat even half a step?"

Seeing that using the identity of the Lord of the Heavenly Court to intimidate Feng Qingyang was clearly not possible, he spoke again.

"In that case, I can take out a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill to exchange with you, how about that?"

Hearing this, Feng Qingyang hesitated for a moment; although the effect of the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill refined by Di Zun would likely be the same for him as it was for the Supremes in other Jinqu, it could still extend his lifespan by several thousand years!

If he had this Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, it was not impossible that he could live for thirty-seven thousand or even thirty-eight thousand years!

Moreover, the Enlightenment tea leaves were not important to the current Feng Qingyang; exchanging them for a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill was absolutely worth it!

It seemed that this Di Zun also wanted to ease the hostile relationship with him; after all, since he could not resolve Feng Qingyang, he thought of using Chengxian Lu as bait to have him join the Heavenly Court in the future!

After thinking for a while, Feng Qingyang agreed to this request!

"Good!"

As the words fell, Di Zun decisively took out a small porcelain bottle, within which the radiance of laws circulated; it was clearly an extraordinary Dharma treasure!

"Then many thanks to Pangu Tianzun!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Di Zun plucked most of the leaves from the Enlightenment Tree, and then he left this place!

Having left this place, Di Zun's gaze, however, rested upon Feng Qingyang.

"Pangu Tianzun, to think he would actually know there is an Enlightenment Tree here; why is this?"

This place is extremely hidden; even he only discovered it by chance!
