The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 69: Distribution to the Heavenly Pill, the Legacy of the Wrathful Thunder Emperor
Soon after,

Lu Chen still chose six Zhitian Pills. With the battle with the Hundred Battles Domain imminent, it was obviously the best choice to choose to enhance the strength of everyone in the Jiuyou Palace.

……

Inside the Jiuyou Palace.

Jiuyou sat quietly on the throne, reviewing the memorials submitted by the lords of various cities.

During this period, Jiuyou Palace annexed more than one hundred cities in succession, and its territory expanded unprecedentedly. Various trivial matters suddenly increased, and she was no longer as free as usual.

Every day, two to three hours were spent processing the memorials submitted by the major factions. Some were insignificant, some involved disputes over resources, and some involved conflicts with other kings' factions...

Even though Jiuyou was a powerful being at the supreme level, he was extremely busy for a while.

At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Come in."

Jiuyou said without even raising her head. When she heard the familiar footsteps, she already knew who was coming.

Lu Chen stepped into the hall.

I saw that Jiuyou had taken off the black armor she usually wore and put on a gorgeous purple-black cheongsam. The cheongsam wrapped her body very tightly, outlining her curvy figure.

With her cool face, her whole body exudes a mature and cold queen temperament, which makes people unable to help but feel like worshipping her.

As if noticing Lu Chen's gaze, Jiuyou looked up, and their eyes met in an instant. Jiuyou did not dodge, but stared straight at him.

Lu Chen, however, felt a little guilty and shifted his gaze. He coughed lightly, touched his nose and said, "Sister Jiuyou, I have something to talk to you about."

As a normal man, Lu Chen admitted that he did have some inappropriate thoughts just now.

"What's the matter?"

Looking at Lu Chen's unnatural movements, Jiuyou raised the corner of his mouth, a mischievous smile flashed in his eyes, and he spoke in a cold voice.

"I got a few Zhitian Pills, you can take them."

"Two for you and Tang Bing, and the other one for Lin Jing after she comes out of confinement."

Lu Chen took out three small white porcelain bottles, placed them on the table, and said with a smile.

"Zhitian Pill? Where did you get this good stuff?"

Jiuyou's eyes lit up, he reached out and picked up a jade bottle, quickly opened the stopper, and saw a round and full emerald green pill quietly floating in the crystal clear jade bottle.

Waves of pure and refreshing elixir fragrance emanated from it. Just a slight sniff made the spiritual power in her body boil.

Lu Chen smiled but did not answer the question.

Seeing this, Jiuyou didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he sympathetically put away the three jade bottles and nodded, saying, "I'll give it to Lin Jing when she comes out of seclusion. As for Tang Bing, she's still leading the army outside. Wait for me to send a command to her jade talisman to summon her back."

"Well, you guys should take the Zhitian Pill as soon as possible and improve yourselves first. I will also go into seclusion next."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen smiled with satisfaction and gave instructions.

"You want to go into seclusion too?"

"Breakthrough to the third level?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiuyou's eyes, and he said with a little surprise.

Lu Chen nodded and said, "I'm already at the peak of the Second Grade Supreme. If I take the Heavenly Pill at this time, it's really not worth it."

"After I break through to the third rank, I will take the Zhitian Pill and become a fourth rank supreme. This is the option with the greatest benefits."

"As you progress through the Supreme Realm, you'll need more training, so you'll naturally have to be more frugal."

"The Heavenly Pill can only be taken by those below the Fourth Rank Supreme. Taking it at the Third Rank will yield the best results."

Jiuyou nodded when he heard this and said, "Then go ahead. I won't let anyone disturb you for the next few months."

Lu Chen smiled and nodded, then said goodbye and left.

……

After three months,

Inside a hall of Jiuyou Palace.

The hall was shrouded in clouds and mist, and one could vaguely see a lake a hundred feet in size in the center of the hall. Four golden stone pillars stood at the four corners of the hall. At the feet of the stone pillars, countless complex array patterns extended out, wrapping the lake.

Waves of strange fluctuations emanated from the stone pillars, and the golden array patterns carved on the ground flickered regularly like breathing, emitting a faint golden light, which blocked the countless spiritual mists in the hall and made them wander around.

Looking closely, the lake was filled with emerald-green Supreme Spiritual Liquid, emitting waves of pure spiritual energy. Even within the turbulence, tiny hints of strange light were reflected, quite magical. A young man sat naked in the lake, forming hand seals. With each breath, the emerald-green Supreme Spiritual Liquid within the lake gradually emitted a faint stream of air, slightly emerald green, which slowly rose and finally, following the boy's breath, penetrated into his body.

The air flowed into his body, and the young man's resolute face seemed to suddenly emit a luster like warm jade.

Sensing the bottleneck in his body that was about to break, the young man kept his eyes closed, but the hand seals of his fingertips suddenly accelerated a lot. A terrifying suction force came from his body, and he continued to greedily absorb the supreme spiritual liquid in the lake.

The emerald green liquid stained the boy's skin, and gradually flowed through his pores, into his body, passing through various meridians. After being refined by the technique, it continuously flowed into the Supreme Sea...

Under the boy's endless demands, more and more air currents drifted out from the lake, and in the end, they even faintly covered the boy's naked body.

After practicing like this for a few hours,

Suddenly, the young man's body, who was sitting cross-legged in the lake, trembled violently, and the seals of his hands suddenly changed. A purple-gold supreme sea quickly expanded from behind him.

"Woo!"

With the appearance of the Supreme Sea, an incomparably domineering devouring force immediately swept over. All of a sudden, the sound of splashing water was heard, and the emerald green liquid in the lake suddenly burst into rays of spiritual light that shot up into the sky, and continuously poured into Lu Chen's body at an astonishing speed.

"Crash!"

Along with such a powerful infusion, Lu Chen could also clearly feel that a torrent of powerful spiritual power was rapidly pouring into his body, roaring through his limbs and bones, and finally pouring continuously into the Supreme Sea.

At this time, in the Supreme Sea, waves of pure spiritual power roared in like a tide. The purple-gold Supreme Sea fluctuated, setting off huge waves that rushed towards the surroundings.

"boom!"

Under the impact of these countless spiritual power torrents, the already huge Supreme Sea suddenly expanded several times, and a strong and powerful aura suddenly swept out from Lu Chen's body like a hurricane.

"Oh!"

The spiritual mist around was directly scattered by the sweep of that breath, and was compressed by the terrifying air wave into drops of milky white spiritual liquid that dripped into the hall.

"laugh!"

Lu Chen's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened at this moment. Golden light flowed in his pupils, and finally turned into a substance and rushed out violently. After a while, it gradually weakened until it completely dissipated.

As the golden light in his eyes faded, Lu Chen's aura returned to calm. He felt the powerful spiritual power filling his body and couldn't help but smile faintly. He had finally taken this step and became a third-grade supreme!
Seeing that the breakthrough was complete, Lu Chen stood up and waved his sleeves. The remaining 300,000 Supreme Spirit Liquids turned into a stream of light and flew into the Sumeru bracelet in his hand. Not a drop was left in the lake.

In the past three months, he not only exchanged for a top-grade artifact, the Dragon Slaying Sword and a mysterious incomplete map, but also exchanged for these 320,000 Supreme Spirit Liquids.

Now that he had used up about 20,000 to break through to the third level, he only had these 300,000 Supreme Spiritual Liquids left.

Of course, the gains are far more than that. The most important thing is that Lu Chen got the whereabouts of a spiritual fire of the Supreme level.

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration appeared in Lu Chen's hand, and a broken picture only the size of a palm suddenly appeared in his hand.

Lu Chen picked up the incomplete map with his two fingers and looked at it carefully. He saw that the slightly yellowed parchment was as clean as white paper. There was nothing on it, no words or strange patterns.

This was the first time Lu Chen took out this thing. He was busy in seclusion before and had no time to check it carefully.

Recalling the description in the simulation, Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, a ball of purple-gold flame rose in his hand, and he placed the yellowed incomplete map in the fire and burned it.

In the purple-gold flames, the yellowed remaining picture suddenly emitted a faint silver light, and silver lines like the meridians of the human body spread out. Indistinctly, they seemed to be intertwined into a strange beast with two horns on its head.

The beast had two horns on its head and two pairs of membranous wings on its back. Its head was wide and short, and its pair of silver pupils seemed to be flashing with silver light. Its body was long and conical, and its hooves were like thundering lightning. There were silver snake-like flames rising from its body, which looked quite strange.

The moment the silver flames appeared on the body of this strange spirit beast, Lu Chen only felt the purple Luohuo in his hand trembling, as if it was afraid and almost retracted into its body.

There is no doubt that this is definitely a strange fire whose power is far greater than the Purple Extreme Luo Fire!
Lu Chen looked at the strange light and shadow of the spirit beast that appeared on the incomplete picture, his eyes were burning with heat, but after a moment, he calmed down.

"This kind of spirit beast isn't even recorded on either the Earth List or the Heaven List of the Myriad Beasts. The simulator only says it's the descendant of the ancient Thunder Palace's Skywrathful Thunder Emperor. Where can I find any clues?"

Lu Chen sighed and said a little depressedly.

"When there's a chance, let's go to the Sutra Library in Daluo Realm to look for clues."

"If it really doesn't work, I can only go to the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy to borrow the Judgment Realm again. However, it will be difficult to find an excuse this time."

Thinking of this, Lu Chen first put away the incomplete map.

Afterwards, Lu Chen sat cross-legged quietly on the cushion. After readjusting his state, he flipped his hand and a round green pill appeared in his hand.

Looking at the Zhitian Pill, he pondered for a moment, then waved his sleeves again. Suddenly, a dazzling torrent flew out from his sleeves and meandered around his body.

In that torrent, there were drops of full supreme spiritual liquid. If you counted carefully, there were as many as three thousand drops.

This Zhitian Pill is different from ordinary pills. If you want to maximize its medicinal power, you must use a large amount of Supreme Spirit Liquid to assist in its use.

Everything is ready now.
Lu Chen took a deep breath, stuffed the Heavenly Pill into his mouth, closed his eyes again, and quickly entered the state of cultivation. This time, he wanted to break through the fourth level in one go!
