Lord of Bones

Chapter 762 Li Yuan's Plan

Wei Moer and Wei Yuer had just managed to stabilize their position thanks to their tacit cooperation, but the cauldron suddenly shook.

An unprecedented powerful aura burst out from the giant cauldron.

Inside the furnace, a transformation is quietly taking place.

The precious materials melted together under extremely high temperatures, condensing into a source embryo that was so black that it seemed to be able to swallow all light.

The chaotic energy around seemed to be frightened by this breath and retreated one after another.

The world seemed to be undergoing a reshaping of order, and everything became clear and orderly.

Thousands of feet away, Li Yuan's keen soul power accurately locked onto the black source embryo that was just beginning to show its edge in the furnace.

It quietly lurks in the blazing flames, like a speck of cosmic dust forgotten by time, inconspicuous but containing unspeakable power.

As the black source fetus gradually condensed and took shape, the surrounding space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force.

Countless thunders emerged from nothingness, and bursts of roars carried the pressure of heavenly calamity, like the whispers of ancient gods in their sleep, making people feel awe and their souls tremble.

Li Yuan realized that these thunders raging in the void seemed to be the secret of why this area significantly increased the chances of sensing a heavenly calamity.

He also discovered that the water level in the inky pool was receding quietly.

The color of the lake water faded a little, as if some invisible life was greedily absorbing the essence from it.

Suddenly, the black source fetus in the furnace underwent amazing changes.

It was no longer an inorganic object, but slowly transformed into the appearance of a baby.

But the skin was not a normal human color, but a strange gray.

There was a frightening murderous aura lingering around his body, like a messenger from the underworld, making people shudder.

Li Yuan's heart suddenly tightened, and just as he was about to find out what was going on, he saw the baby-like existence suddenly open its eyes.

His eyes were grey and without any emotion, only endless coldness and deathly silence, as if he could see into the deepest fear in people's hearts.

The sudden eye contact made Li Yuan feel an indescribable chill in his heart, as if even his soul was frozen by that gaze.

The next moment, Tianchi, who had just taken shape, slowly closed his eyes again, and everything returned to calm, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

Li Yuan took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the waves in his heart. Wei Moer's words echoed in his mind.

Gray is the first step in Tianchi's transformation.

Then it will turn silver, and finally brilliant gold, which is the final achievement.

He turned his gaze to Wei Moer and Wei Yuer outside the furnace. Not only did they not show any signs of fatigue during the refining process, but their aura became more steady and their strength had obviously improved.

Li Yuan's strength has also improved, but he still cannot reach the barrier of cultivation.

Now he finally believed that in order to advance into the Huawen realm, he could only break through by sensing the heavenly tribulation and passing the baptism of the heavenly tribulation.

His eyes were deep, like a wise man who could see through everything in the world. He slowly swept across the deep pool of water, and an unprecedented enlightenment surged in his heart.

"This pool of water is not only the key to Tianchi's refining, but also the source of some rare spiritual liquid." Li Yuan whispered.

Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and an inspiration suddenly came to him, and a bold and crazy idea took shape in his mind.

“I don’t know if Tianchi can recognize its master by dripping blood like Yuanqi can.

"If I can blend the blood that carries the power of the Spirit Pattern Life-Eating Bone into the lake water and make it the unique connection between me and Tianchi, will I be able to make Tianchi conform to my will, or even..."

Thinking of this, Li Yuan's heartbeat accelerated, and his eyes flashed with unprecedented excitement and anticipation.

Without the slightest hesitation, he mobilized the powerful force of the spiritual pattern Life-Devouring Bone in his body, merged it with his own blood, and condensed it into a drop of blood containing endless vitality.

This drop of blood, strangely red, fell gently into the pool under Li Yuan's control.

In an instant, the pool of water seemed to be ignited, and the originally calm surface of the pool began to boil.

The black liquid seemed to be given life, rolling violently and forming spectacular whirlpools.

The drop of blood quickly spread in the water and merged into one with the lake water, as if there were thousands of tiny lives swimming in it, releasing amazing energy.

Li Yuan stared with bated breath, only to see the water mist carrying the power of his blood slowly floating towards the cauldron under the exquisite control of Wei Moer and Wei Yuer, and finally merging into the transforming Tianchi.

At this moment, the surrounding environment has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

The originally dim sky seemed to be affected by this force, becoming gloomy and depressing, with dark clouds and faint thunder.

There was a heart-pounding pressure in the air all around, as if the heaven and earth were trembling at the impending transformation.

Gradually, bursts of dull roaring sounds came from inside the furnace and became more and more intense.

The sound was like the wailing of evil spirits from the underworld, penetrating the shackles of space and striking deep into Li Yuan's soul, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.

The soul seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and an indescribable feeling of palpitations arose spontaneously.

Wei Mo'er and Wei Yu'er's expressions changed suddenly at this sudden change. There was a flash of surprise and doubt in their eyes as they stared at the changes in the furnace.

The Tianchi in the cauldron was originally as small and helpless as a baby in swaddling clothes, but now it seemed like an awakened primitive beast, transforming at an alarming speed.

Its body gradually turned from gray to bright silver, and every inch of its skin radiated a dazzling light, as if it was wearing a suit of gorgeous armor.

Its body size expanded rapidly, reaching more than three feet, and its majestic posture made people feel awe.

"This...how is this possible?

“According to the timeline, it will take at least another year to reach its current state.

"This celestial demon actually completed its transformation in the blink of an eye."

Wei Moer's voice revealed incredible shock, and her beautiful eyes were filled with confusion and thought about the scene before her.

Wei Yu'er was also shocked, and said with some uncertainty in her tone:

“Sister, it seems that it is not only growing very fast.

“I feel that its aura is also changing, and it already has the combat power of the early stage of Yuan Shen realm.

"Could this be the difference between using Heaven Bone and Earth Bone to refine Heavenly Demon?
"Or does this piece of heavenly bone contain secrets that we don't know about?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Moer frowned, with all kinds of speculations and anxieties surging in his heart.

The current situation has exceeded their expectations. To be on the safe side, they must gain control of this celestial demon as soon as possible.

She raised her jade hand lightly, and a crystal clear jade slip emitting a faint glow appeared in her hand.

The jade slip is engraved with complex Yuan patterns, which seem to contain endless power and wisdom.

She flicked her fingertips, and complex and precise Yuan Patterns flew out from the jade slip as if they were given life, turning into silver streams of light and rushing straight into the furnace.

These silver lights intertwined and entangled in the air, and finally turned into a huge silver net, which tightly bound Tianchi.

As the Yuanwen merged, Tianchi's body trembled slightly, but then calmed down again. The jade slip floating in front of Wei Moer emitted an unprecedented dazzling silver light.

The pattern that emerged on it was exactly the same as the shape of Tianchi, as if some kind of connection had been established between the two.

As Tianchi's body expanded, the patterns on the jade slip seemed to come alive, flashing silver light in sync with Tianchi's transformation.

Li Yuan's heartbeat was like a drum, his eyes were fixed on Wei Mo'er's cold and resolute figure, he was secretly thinking:
"Could it be that the abnormal changes of Tianchi are really caused by the fact that I dripped the blood containing the power of the Spiritual Pattern Life-Eating Bone into the pool?
"Now they are trying to plant a control ban in Tianchi's body. Will my plan of recognizing the master with a drop of blood work?

"Wei Mo'er has always been calculating against me. If I can't get some benefits from Tian Chi, won't I become a sucker at her mercy?
“Forget it, I might as well add more blood to the lake water. Perhaps I can take this opportunity to control Tianchi.

"This way, I won't be at a disadvantage in cooperating with Wei Moer."

With the idea made up, the Yuan force in Li Yuan's body surged, and the spiritual pattern Life-devouring Bone seemed to sense his determination, releasing even more powerful power and integrating it into his blood.

Drops of blood containing terrifying vitality fell into the pool, causing ripples.

The pond seemed to be awakened by it, and wisps of water vapor began to rise from the surface.

The water vapor contained complex and pure energy. When it entered the furnace, it turned into a gentle yet irresistible force like drizzle, which was greedily devoured by the Tianchi.

Tianchi's transformation became more and more amazing. Although its color remained bright silver, scales began to grow on its body surface, as if it was wearing an indestructible silver armor.

Each piece shines with a cold metallic luster, and the head looks more like a helmet made of stars, emitting a breathtaking light.

Its aura grew stronger, as if a sleeping ancient god was awakening, ready to show the world its majesty and power.

Wei Yuer's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief: "This Tianchi...it is actually growing on its own.

“This is simply an unheard-of miracle.”

There was a mixture of surprise and excitement in her tone.

Wei Moer seemed calm, with a hint of doubt and solemnity between his brows. This phenomenon was definitely not accidental:
"what on earth is it?

"The Tianchi is actually absorbing the materials in the furnace and the water outside on its own."

Wei Yuer hesitated and asked, "Is this the essential difference between the Heavenly Demon and the Earthly Demon?"

Wei Moer said in a deep voice: “It is said that Tian Chi is similar to Yuan Zhe, as long as there are enough resources, they can cultivate and grow on their own.

“However, the few Heavenly Demons that were successfully refined using Earth Bone in the palace were not as skilled as this guy.

"Even if it is a Heavenly Chi that is refined with Heavenly Bones, it has never been heard of that it can cultivate on its own before it is refined to perfection."

"How about we ask our master to come in and take a look?" Wei Yuer suggested.

“No.” Wei Moer shook his head, his tone firm, “According to the records of refining Tianchi in the palace, once the Tianchi Palace is opened in the middle of the process, the Tianchi will flee and scatter, causing the refining to fail.

“Moreover, Master is a strong man at the peak of the late Huawen Realm. His aura is too strong and can easily cause instability in the spatial structure here.

"Let's let Tianchi practice on his own and wait and see what happens."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yuer felt helpless but could only nod in agreement.

.........

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

Inside the cauldron, Tianchi's transformation had reached an astonishing level, with his body expanding to more than ten feet in length.

The luster on the scales is no longer single.

Instead, it is interwoven with gold, silver and blue, just like the sparkling sea surface under the early morning light.

Every scale seems to have been kissed by the stars, sparkling with a mysterious and deep luster.

These scales are not only gorgeous, but also contain amazing defensive power.

The originally raging evil spirit was tamed and restrained within the body, forming an aura of majesty without even being angry.

The water level of the inky pool was dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Upon seeing this, Wei Moer and Wei Yuer looked solemn and quickly took out various rare treasures from their rings.

These treasures turned into streams of light in their hands and were thrown into the furnace one after another.

The attempt was to slow down Tianchi's endless absorption of the lake water, while also providing an impetus for Tianchi's transformation.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged thousands of feet away, his figure looking particularly lonely and tough in the dim light.

He longed to control this celestial demon, so every day he would drip his blood that was infused with the power of the spiritual pattern and life-eating bone into the pool at all costs.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

Inside the cauldron, Tianchi's transformation has reached its peak.

It no longer looks like a simple creature, but rather a god of war wearing golden armor.

It is more than ten feet tall, radiating dazzling light and containing endless majesty.

Its eyes were as deep as the night sky, flashing with a coldness that made people dare not look directly at it.

"Refining was successful!"

Wei Moer stared at the Tianchi in the cauldron, his voice filled with excitement that was hard to conceal, and his eyes held both joy and awe.

As the hand seals in her hands changed, the blazing flames in the furnace gradually died down.

Tianchi also stopped absorbing external energy and quietly floated in the furnace, like a guardian deity.

Wei Yuer noticed that Li Yuan, who was not far away, was still practicing with his eyes closed, but the aura around him had undergone earth-shaking changes, as if he had merged with the heaven and earth and reached some mysterious realm.

"He is still there." said Wei Yuer.

"The speed of refining Tianchi this time is much faster than any other time recorded in our palace's classics." Wei Moer pondered, "We have been here for less than two years, and he should not have reached the limit of cultivation yet."

Wei Yu'er frowned slightly, her eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "Should we leave immediately, or stay here and continue practicing?"

Wei Moer's long hair swayed gently in the breeze, and her expression seemed particularly solemn:

"The speed of the Tianchi's transformation is beyond imagination, and our bodies are also approaching the limit.

“I can feel that the power in my body that triggers the heavenly calamity has reached nearly 50%.

“After 50%, every 10% increase in the chance of sensing requires a huge amount of resources, and success is not guaranteed.

“If I force myself to stay here any longer, I’m afraid it will backfire.

“Half of the old ancestors in the palace have measured a 50% chance of sensing the heavenly tribulation, and after practicing for one or two hundred years, they will encounter the heavenly tribulation.

“After successfully refining the Heavenly Demon this time, the sect will definitely give us a generous reward.

"When the time comes, we can try to apply for the opportunity to practice under the Jieling Vine in Lingxi Valley."
