Chapter 700: Surging Fortune

The muscles on Yao Zhen's face twitched a few times.

This was the Fountain of Life refined by Yin Qi; he dared not drink it rashly.

"No, you all drink it."

"Okay, Grandpa."

Chenxi nodded obediently, then couldn't help but pick it up to drink.

Her entire body was suddenly wreathed in glowing light, emitting rich Spirit Qi, as if she were about to transcend and ascend.

The baby Dragon was the most exaggerated; in just a moment, all the Thunder Water was swallowed up by him.

He let out a satisfied burp, his dragon eyes squinting pleasantly: "God says, this Fountain of Life is truly delicious; if only it were available every day."

Yao Zhen had black lines all over his head.

If it were available every day, wouldn't that mean suffering Heavenly Punishment every day?

He looked at the baby Dragon, who was sticking out a massive belly that had puffed up into a round ball, his golden dragon scales radiating brilliant light, and his aura climbing very obviously.

Sixth Order Initial Stage...

Sixth Rank Mid-stage...

Sixth-tier Late Stage...

It didn't stop until the Sixth Order Peak, leaving Yao Zhen both pleasantly surprised and envious.

A Divine Beast is a Divine Beast; as long as there are sufficient resources, its cultivation can soar, and there are simply no bottlenecks to speak of.

"Eh, it's a Divine Spirit Dragon; could it be that he caused this?"

"What a terrifying aura. This is... how could his cultivation suddenly advance so much?"

"A Divine Beast is a Divine Beast; just by advancing in cultivation, it actually attracts Heavenly Punishment."

Outside the perimeter of the Bamboo Garden, a large number of students and teachers had already gathered.

Looking at the baby Dragon above the Bamboo Garden, they subconsciously assumed that this was caused by the baby Dragon, after all, the baby Dragon had also attracted Heavenly Punishment when it underwent Nirvana previously.

Hearing the discussions outside, Yao Zhen also let out a long sigh of relief.

It was good to have the baby Dragon providing cover.

To avoid the baby Dragon letting anything slip, he hurriedly sent a voice transmission: "Baby Dragon, come down quickly. Also, regarding the matter of the Heavenly Punishment, just act as if you caused it; don't tell others the truth."

The baby Dragon blinked, nodded in a very human-like manner, and with a flick of his tail, returned to the courtyard.

At this moment, Yin Qi also walked out with Yao Chen.

"Grandpa!"

Yao Cong shouted excitedly.

He tried his best to suppress his voice, fearing he might roar out loud.

Who could have imagined that he was previously an Ordinary person unable to cultivate, yet in the blink of an eye, he possessed Fourth Tier cultivation, and at the Fourth-order Peak at that; it was simply like a dream.

"Good, very good!"

Yao Zhen was also incredibly excited; he could feel the thick True Qi within his grandson's body, and because he had never learned any cultivation techniques, he didn't yet know how to restrain his aura.

He was not only happy about his grandson's opportunity, but even more happy that the God-Making Project had succeeded.

Not long after, a piece of news spread from Shenfeng Academy: the Divine Spirit Dragon had consumed an Immortal Pill, causing its cultivation to skyrocket to the Sixth Order Peak, which was why it had attracted Heavenly Punishment.

"Heavens, an Immortal Pill; Yin Qi has refined an Immortal Pill. No wonder there was Heavenly Punishment; Immortal Pills are not something that can be born in our human Boundary."

"."

"Shenfeng Academy already has an Immortal, and now with the addition of a Sixth Order Peak Divine Spirit Dragon, who can compare?"

"Immortal Pills are good, but there is Heavenly Punishment. Unless one has Yin Qi to protect the path, even if we had such Immortal Pills, we wouldn't dare to consume them."

"That's not necessarily true; Divine Beasts attract Heavenly Punishment when breaking through to the Sixth Order, but we of the Human Race do not. Perhaps we won't have any issues consuming the Immortal Pill, as long as we don't touch the upper limit of the human Boundary's power."

"That makes sense; then when will the Alchemy Guild produce Immortal Pills?"

Shenfeng Academy.

Main Hall. Just as the outside world was buzzing with discussion, Yao Zhen, Zhao Cen, and four Sixth Order powerhouses all arrived; they were all insiders of the God-Making Project, and two were even in charge.

Hearing Yin Qi's account, they were overjoyed.

The God-Creation Technique had succeeded.

Although the modified individuals could only possess cultivation three major realms lower than the original owner of the blood, it was already heaven-defying, because this meant that as long as there was a continuous supply of blood, countless Seventh-tier Immortal Gods could be cultivated.

The only trouble now was that such modified humans would suffer Heavenly Punishment.

However, this was not a big deal.

With Yin Qi present, the Heavenly Punishment could only be converted into the Fountain of Life.

Yin Qi took out a Jade Slip and said: "The God-Creation Technique is inside; you can continue to study it and see if there are any areas that can be further improved. But for now, there is no need to cultivate more modified humans. As for God Creation, that requires the blood of a Tenth-tier Powerhouse."

Everyone nodded one after another, their original excitement turning into helplessness.

Tenth-tier Powerhouse—they hadn't even heard of such a thing.

Please... you.... bookmark 6... 9... book....!

Even if a Tenth-tier Powerhouse existed, how could one obtain the other party's blood?

"Anyway, we are not in a hurry now; we can study it slowly."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yin Qi said: "Another thing is the Spirit Pearl; Yao Zhen, find an Ordinary person to test it. If there are no problems, then put them on sale in half a month; I should be able to provide a million of them."

"Hiss, a million!"

Yao Zhen and the others widened their eyes; this quantity was simply too much.

The quantity was large only from Yin Qi's perspective.

But in reality, compared to the population of the continent, one million pieces were merely a drop in the ocean.

………

The next day.

As Yin Qi was preparing to head out to set up the Sun and Moon Gathering Spirit Array for the Free City, a grand voice resounded in his mind:

"Invented the Spirit Pearl, Humanity Luck bestowed!"

Yin Qi's consciousness immediately sank deep into his mind, and he saw the sixty-four-zhang-tall golden Luck suddenly surge, rising all the way to two hundred zhang before stopping, nearly catching up to the Nine Great Lineages like public Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

From this, one can see the importance of the Spirit Pearl.

"It seems Yao Zhen has already had people test the Spirit Pearl."

Yin Qi muttered to himself.

……

For the next five days, Yin Qi was secretly setting up arrays.

Even after the Sun and Moon Gathering Spirit Array was successfully set up, the people of the Free City did not notice; only Sixth Tier cultivators could keenly detect that the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth seemed to be slowly rising.

The rise in the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was no small matter.

These Sixth Tier powerhouses investigated in secret one after another, only to discover that the Spirit Qi concentration was rising solely within the city.

Such a bizarre event was clearly man-made.

In the Array Formation lineage, there were many High-Level Spirit Gathering Arrays, but for the time being, no one was capable of setting them up, and the only one with the ability to set up an array silently was likely Yin Qi.

Thinking of this, they all felt at ease.

They just did not know that this Sun and Moon Gathering Spirit Array could not only gather the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, but also convert the power of the sun, moon, and stars into Spirit Qi.

………

Deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains stood a Demon Palace.

This Demon Palace was situated on a hundred-zhang-tall Bone Mountain, with eerie ghost fires flickering and Ghost Qi permeating the air.

The palace on the Bone Mountain appeared exceptionally sinister and terrifying in the night, like a giant demon thrusting a hideous head out from ten thousand withered bones.

Below the main entrance of the Demon Palace were nine levels of stairs, each level paved with divine bones, emitting a faint glow.

Suddenly, the void rippled, and Chen Nan appeared abruptly.

Ah!

Chen Nan exclaimed, his pupils constricting.

He looked around and discovered that he was standing in front of a terrifying Demon Palace, and beneath the Demon Palace were countless bones, some over ten meters long; he did not know if they were giants or Dragons.

"Where is this...?" (End of chapter)
