I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Also.

Besides these two methods of alchemy.

There is another way to break through this 'hut' and enter the next level.

Moreover, once this method is successfully attempted, one can not only freely choose the 'Avoiding Tribulation Immortal Jade' and 'Earth Mother Divine Medicine' from this place of inheritance, but also obtain the supreme inheritance of another deity statue—'Sword Yuan Emperor'.

But... after only glancing at the method a few times, Wei Tu decisively abandoned it.

The reason is simple: this method does not follow the inheritance assessment of the 'Emperor Danyang', but rather the inheritance assessment of the 'Emperor Jianyuan'... It focuses on the sword cultivation method.

If it were just an ordinary sword cultivation technique, he could give it a try, but unfortunately, the sword cultivation method of the ancient human immortal 'Sword Yuan Emperor' is too extraordinary.

Its methods are quite different from the sword cultivation methods of spiritual practice today.

Instead, he abandoned all spiritual cultivation and magical power, forging himself into an invincible 'sword' that could shatter all laws with a single strike.

This method, while powerful, is also too unorthodox, and is not suitable for a cultivator like him who practices both physical and magical cultivation.

……

"The Jade of Avoiding Calamity can avert the 'Celestial Tribulation of Life Expiration' and also has a considerable resistance to the Great Ascension Heavenly Tribulation... For me, it is also the supreme treasure for passing through the final tribulation of the 'Six Tribulations of Life Severance'—'Ten Thousand Years of Lifespan'..."

“However, compared to this, the ‘Earth Mother Divine Medicine’ seems even more difficult to give up… Body-refining medicines are extremely scarce in the cultivation world. If one relies solely on arduous cultivation, breaking through to the late stage of the seventh level of body refinement will be a long way off…” Wei Tu pondered for a moment, finding it difficult to decide.

Both treasures are extremely useful to him, and abandoning either one would significantly impact his path to enlightenment.

“But if it were Geng Qiaozi, this cultivator would definitely choose that ‘Avoiding Calamity Immortal Jade’…” Wei Tu’s eyes flashed, and he instantly made a plan.

Geng Qiaozi was not a physical cultivator like him; he entered this land of human inheritance in order to find a way to prolong his life and overcome the 'life-ending tribulation'...

Now, given the choice between the two, he certainly wouldn't give up the "Avoidance Jade" for the "Earth Mother's Divine Medicine".

Therefore, for him, the only ways to obtain this 'Avoiding Calamity Immortal Jade' here, besides formally undergoing the inheritance assessment, were to 'kill and plunder' it.

Secondly, unlike external objects like the 'Tribulation-Crossing Immortal Jade,' the 'Earth Mother Divine Medicine' directly affects his physical body, improving his body refinement level...

Once his physical body reaches the late stage of the seventh rank, he will naturally have a certain resistance to the future tribulations of life and death and the tribulations of the Great Ascension.

Having thought this through, Wei Tu no longer hesitated. After secretly memorizing the introductory techniques of the three 'inheritance methods' that appeared on the wall of the thatched hut, he began to seriously study the alchemy method passed down by the 'Emperor Danyang', which used 'flesh and blood as a cauldron'.

"This... seems to be an extremely advanced body-refining technique that involves circulating qi and blood? It can be used for more than just alchemy?"

Several days later, after pondering the profound meaning of this alchemy method, Wei Tu was slightly surprised, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Indeed! As an ancient immortal of the human race, the 'Emperor Danyang' could not have left behind this cultivation method and made this choice in the land of human heritage in order to select high-level alchemists for the human race or to pass on this ancient alchemy method.

Its purpose has always been singular:
Select a successor!
Select a successor from among the human race who can become an immortal!
The two vastly different alchemy methods, 'using the dantian as a furnace' and 'using flesh and blood as a cauldron,' are essentially the same methods used by 'Emperor Danyang' to distinguish his successors.

The former is a tradition exclusive to spiritual practice.

The latter, however, is a tradition exclusively for body cultivators.

In other words, refining the "Three Yin Pill" using "flesh and blood as a cauldron" is an introductory test for learning the body-refining inheritance left by the ancient human immortal "Emperor Danyang".

“A hundred years ago, this alchemy method that uses ‘flesh and blood as a cauldron’ might have stumped me, but now… this method is nothing special.” Wei Tu’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, and with a thought, he began to form hand seals.

The next moment, his body began to glow with radiance, and in an instant, it became crystal clear and radiant with spiritual light. His blood vessels, meridians, and acupoints were almost clearly visible from the outside.

Moreover, what is even more miraculous is that his skin seems to be about to molt, separating from his glass-like body to create another light and shadow resembling a 'Weitu'.

This secret technique is none other than the 'Ascension to Immortality Technique' that Wei Tu obtained from Yu Linzi through a soul search.

This technique is both a spiritual cultivation secret technique and a 'bloodline secret technique' and 'physical secret technique' that can be applied to a cultivator's physical body.

However, at this moment, his research into this secret technique is far inferior to that of 'Yu Linzi', and he is still unable to use this 'secret technique' to form a true 'feather molt', like Yu Linzi, splitting into two to fight against Chief Chai.

However, with the blessing of this secret technique, coupled with his original mid-stage seventh-order body refinement realm, he was more than capable of dealing with the 'Emperor Danyang's' test.

After all, the "Ascension to Immortality Technique" is the ultimate transformation of the physical body, a method that can directly lead to immortality. Moreover, it is a test of "flesh and blood forming a cauldron" and the transformation of qi and blood.

The next moment, the 'light and shadow' resembling Wei Tu seemed to gain consciousness, constantly making hand seals and striking Wei Tu, who was sitting in the thatched hut with his eyes closed.

Soon, as these incantations were performed, the blood and qi within his body instantly began to boil, hissing and surging like a raging fire, rushing towards his chest.

At this moment, the "Wei Tu Light and Shadow" formed from the molted feathers flicked its sleeves and used its magic to extract the spiritual herbs from the pottery jar one by one, injecting them into several acupoints of Wei Tu's body.

It's sizzling!It's sizzling!
After a few quarters of an hour, under the surging of qi and blood, these spiritual herbs gradually began to liquefy and melt into medicinal liquid, which then flowed along Wei Tu's meridians and converged towards the 'True Spirit Immortal Bone' in his chest...

Before long, the medicinal liquid and the 'elixir fire' formed from qi and blood quickly began to 'melt' within Wei Tu's 'True Spirit Immortal Bone', condensing the medicinal liquid into an elixir, which became the 'Three Yin Elixir' in the jade slip.

"The Three Yin Elixir is complete!"

Two days later, at the moment when the pill was finally formed, Wei Tu, who was sitting cross-legged, finally opened his eyes. He pressed his right hand to his chest and forcibly extracted the Three Yin Pill, which was made by using flesh and blood as a cauldron, from the True Spirit Immortal Bone.

Upon seeing that the medicine's properties matched those described in the jade slip, he immediately stopped performing the hand seals, let out a long sigh, and ceased the operation of the 'Ascension to Immortality Technique'.

In the blink of an eye, the 'humanoid light and shadow' on his body returned to his original form, and the radiance overflowing from his Dharma body dimmed suddenly, as if he had fallen from the lofty 'immortal' to the mortal world in that instant.

"Using the 'Ascension Technique' to complete this 'Flesh and Blood Cauldron' test... Although it's somewhat of a shortcut, the 'Ascension Technique' is part of my strength. Even if I have to use it, it's still feasible to cultivate the 'Emperor Danyang's' legacy... It will just be a bit more complicated in the future."

"However, most importantly, by using this method to leverage the enemy's strength, I should be a bit faster than 'the woodcutter'... to some extent, this can make up for the time difference with this fiend..."

With a flash of thought, Wei Tu flicked his finger, sending the 'Three Yin Pill' directly into the earthenware jar that had just contained the spiritual medicine.

With his solid foundation in body refinement and the added benefit of his "Late Bloomer" destiny to cultivation techniques, mastering the basic body refinement technique passed down by the "Emperor Danyang" was not a difficult task for him.

Unfortunately, he was not the only one undergoing the inheritance test inside the statue of the 'Emperor Danyang'.

If the "Gengqiaozi" is allowed to complete the inheritance assessment first, the result will likely be very unfavorable to him...

As this thought surfaced in Wei Tu's mind.

The next moment, a flash of spiritual light appeared, and the door of the 'thatched hut', which had been heavily sealed by spiritual restrictions, suddenly opened wide, revealing a broad path leading to the outside world.

At this moment, the scenery outside the thatched hut was also fully visible.

This is a manor nestled against the mountains and beside the water, resembling a medicinal herb garden.

However, because of the long passage of time, the medicinal herbs planted on both sides of this 'wide road' have long since withered, leaving only a thin layer of ash.

Even the spiritual energy within the spirit field was completely depleted, making it appear exceptionally desolate and forlorn.

Of course, Wei Tu had no intention of lamenting the past and present at this moment. After sweeping his divine sense across the vast manor covering nearly several hundred acres, his gaze instantly sharpened and fell on another 'thatched hut' that was adjacent to the 'thatched hut' where he was currently staying, but was clearly separated from it by a 'spiritual barrier wall'.

At this moment, the door of the thatched hut was wide open, and the person inside had long since disappeared.

There are as many as seven such 'huts'.

But this 'hut' and the 'hut' he was in were both wide open, as if they had just been opened.

Seeing this scene.

Although Wei Tu had anticipated this, he still couldn't help but frown slightly.

As expected, the "Gengqiaozi" who had entered the place before him was no ordinary person either, and had completed the entrance test long ago.

“That should be the second hurdle to obtaining the inheritance of the ‘Emperor Danyang’…” Wei Tu’s eyes flashed, and his gaze instantly fell on the deep cave at the end of the wide road, which led directly to the medicine garden here.

With a thought, he vanished into the cave in a flash.

However, as soon as he arrived, a blazing wave of fire rushed towards him, nearly tearing through his defensive magic shield and burning his robes to ashes.

Instantly, what came into Wei Tu's view was...

It was no longer that 'deep mountain cave,' but an endless sea of ​​fire, and beneath that sea of ​​fire, a constantly churning sea of ​​lava.

At the same time.

Within this sea of ​​fire, he also saw the "woodcutter" who was next to him, separated by the "wall of spiritual confinement," struggling to cross this sea of ​​fire.

This scene immediately made Wei Tu breathe a sigh of relief.

Geng Qiaozi was a step ahead and entered the second level of the 'sea of ​​fire' first, but his progress was not much faster than his... At least, the two of them were at the same dangerous level at this moment.

However, at the same time...

What Wei Tu found even stranger was that the "woodcutter" who was breaking through this "perilous sea of ​​fire" did not seem to be using any defensive magical treasures to protect himself. Instead, he was using the "dantian as a furnace" cultivation method that Wei Tu had seen in the thatched hut to resist the burning pain of the sea of ​​fire...

Or rather, it seems that this cultivator is actively integrating this 'alchemy method' into this sea of ​​fire.

However, before Wei Tu could think about it further...

At this moment, 'Geng Qiaozi', who was ahead, also instantly realized Wei Tu's arrival. His face immediately lost its usual calmness, his eyes widened, and he looked incredulous.

There's no other reason than that this land of human heritage has always been a treasure trove that only humans can enter; for outsiders, it's practically a death trap.

Even if one could break into the 'Holy Emperor's Palace,' it would be difficult to enter the statues of the two Holy Emperors, let alone complete the first test and enter the second stage...

"He's a human cultivator? How is that possible? This cultivator is just someone I randomly picked... How could there be a seventh-level alchemist among the human race whom I've never heard of before?"

"Although there are many human cultivators, there are countless rogue cultivators from nameless sects, but... no matter what, it is impossible for a seventh-level alchemist in the Spirit Realm to break away from his race and become a 'rogue cultivator'..." Geng Qiaozi muttered to himself, looking astonished.

Given the sheer size of the human race's "Ten Spirit Clan," it is perfectly normal for a few nameless, unaffiliated cultivators to emerge.

But a 'seventh-tier alchemist' is quite different...

In any race, even the three most powerful races, they are worthy of being highly regarded. They would never leave their race and refuse to enjoy these readily available benefits, and because of this, they would be resented by other races.

"Could it be... that this cultivator is a non-human being with human blood? Well, given the vast number of humans, with their diverse offspring, there must be quite a few non-human cultivators with human blood throughout the Spirit Realm..."

"How could the 'Emperor Danyang' be so generous as to grant inheritances even to members of his mixed-blood clan? And not exclude them from entering this inheritance ground?"

In an instant, a thousand guesses arose in Geng Qiaozi's mind.

This includes Wei Tu, the "traitor to the human race" who was highly valued by the human race's high-ranking officials, who descended to the mortal realm a thousand years ago to ascend to the spirit realm and killed the "Purple-Faced Hermit".

However, when he thought of the name Wei Tu, Geng Qiaozi couldn't help but shake his head, thinking to himself that it was unlikely.

the reason is simple.

—A person's level of understanding and strength do not lie.

No matter how fast Wei Tu's breakthrough speed is, it's impossible for him to advance from the early stage of the Fusion Realm to the late stage of the Fusion Realm in less than a thousand years...

After all, such a speed of advancement in realm is something that even the 'Six Divine Lords of the Fusion Realm' cannot match.

Even if, hypothetically, her cultivation level did advance rapidly to the 'late stage of the Fusion Realm,' her strength was unlikely to suddenly rise to the point where she could easily subdue 'Da Yuan Fei'.

"However, regardless of whether he is a cultivator of the human race or not, he is neither a high-ranking member of our human race... His unauthorized entry into this place will only result in death. The secrets of this place must never be known to outsiders."

Geng Qiaozi's eyes narrowed slightly, a murderous intent rising in his heart. (End of Chapter)
