Eternal Pill Emperor

It was a seemingly ordinary black ring with an ancient design.    

However, Gu Xuan could tell at a glance that this black ring was extraordinary.    

The patterns on the ring seemed to be in a mess, but when combined together, they formed an extremely profound sealing technique.    

Gu Xuan carefully examined and searched through his memories. Finally, he confirmed that the sealing technique was actually an extremely ancient "Soul Sealing Dharma Seal!"    

"If my guess is correct, this black ring contains the Soul Energy of a Pill Saint!"    

Gu Xuan was pleasantly surprised.    

His Pill Dao was only a step away from the realm of the Pill Saint.    

The reason why he was unable to break through was because a seal had been left behind by his future body on the Celestial Pills, causing the Pill Dao to be flawed.    

Without solving that seal, Gu Xuan would not be able to break through.    

If he could obtain this ring that sealed the Pill Saint's Soul Energy, he might be able to find a way to break the seal.    

How could Gu Xuan not be surprised?    

The Elf Imperial Monarch saw that Gu Xuan was able to see through the secret of the black ring with a single glance and could not help but praise, "What good eyesight!"    

She handed over the black ring.    

Gu Xuan took it and impatiently inserted a Soul Imprint to recognize it as his owner.    

Information about the black ring surged into his mind.    

"The Soul Sky Ring can store Soul Energy.    

The storage space is the size of a Sea of Consciousness at the perfection stage of the First Calamity..."    

Gu Xuan analyzed the information about the black ring.    

The more he analyzed, the more surprised he became.    

A soul-type treasure itself was much more valuable than any other treasure of the same level.    

And a soul-type treasure that could store Soul Energy was the most valuable amongst other treasures of the same kind.    

It was far more valuable than a defensive soul-type treasure or an offensive soul-type treasure.    

The reason was very simple. The more Soul Energy there was in a battle between souls, the easier it would be to gain the upper hand and obtain the final victory.    

With this "Soul Qiong Ring," it was simply equivalent to having an additional Sea of Consciousness.    

In a battle, he would naturally have more confidence, and his state of mind would be better than his opponent's.    

Gu Xuan took a deep breath and finally decided to make the final and most important exploration.    

A trace of his Power of The Soul entered the "Soul Ring" and found the Soul Energy stored inside.    

There was not much Soul Energy left in the storage. There was a total of ten streams, and all of them were extremely pure.    

The aura that was emitted from them was the same as well. If one were to sense it carefully, there seemed to be an indescribable pressure contained within it. It was mysterious and unparalleled.    

Boom!    

Even Gu Xuan's Celestial Pills seemed to have been touched. They couldn't help but appear above his head, connecting the sky and the earth. It was extremely magnificent.    

An enormous pressure descended from the sky, causing a gale to blow across the entire Yunding Mountain.    

Xiao Ou raised his head in surprise.    

"What the hell? Why did the boss let out his Celestial Pills?"    

The Elf Imperial Monarch also raised her head and looked at the huge shadow above her, feeling indescribably shocked.    

Inside the Soul Sky Ring.    

Gu Xuan's trace of Power of The Soul was still observing the ten Soul Energy in front of him.    

"It is indeed the Soul Energy that belongs to the Medicine Saint. Furthermore, it is definitely not plundered.    

It was a Soul Energy that was proactively provided by some existence at the Medicine Saint Level.    

That was why the comprehension of the Pill Dao contained within it was so perfect.    

This should be the Soul Energy that Senior Medicine Saint had specially left for his disciples to cultivate.    

This Soul Sky Ring should be one of the complete inheritances!    

That Zuo Zimu must have been extremely lucky to be able to obtain it!"    

Gu Xuan exclaimed in his heart.    

But very quickly, he felt his heart ache.    

"The comprehension of the Pill Dao within these ten Soul Energy seems to be exactly the same.    

However, upon closer inspection, one would discover that they had a gradual process of going from shallow to deep.    

If my calculations are correct, there should be eighteen of these Soul Energy!    

If he could refine them from easy to difficult according to the correct order, then he would be able to obtain the Pill Dao inheritance of that senior Pill Saint!    

However, Zuo Zimu did not know anything about all of this. He only used the Soul Energy to control the poison of the'Spiritual Devouring Battle Grass!'    

To say that it is a waste of God's gifts is too light!"    

Gu Xuan cursed all eighteen generations of Zuo Zizi's ancestors in his heart.    

"Right now, the comprehension of the Pill Saint contained within these Soul Energy is incomplete and cannot be unified.    

It is impossible to obtain the Pill Saint's inheritance.    

However, it should be possible to obtain some insights from the Pill Saint, strengthen my Pill Dao, and strengthen my Soul Power."    

With a single thought, Gu Xuan used the Power of The Soul to bring out a strand of the Pill Saint's Soul Energy. He then entered the Sea of Consciousness and quickly refined it.    

He even had a small hope in his heart, though the chances were slim.    

And that was to rely on the Soul Energy of these Pill Saints to obtain the method of removing the extremely deep seal on top of the Celestial Pills.    

In the sky.    

Gu Xuan's Celestial Pills had already undergone some changes and started to shine brightly.    

Countless specks of light scattered in all directions, like fireflies.    

Wherever these specks of light passed by, even the space itself seemed to be cleansed and purified.    

Soon, the specks of light covered every inch of land on the Yunding Mountain.    

The lifeless black corpses of the treants, the corpses of the Dragon Guards, and the corpses of the dragons all turned into nothingness at a speed visible to the naked eye.    

The entire Yunding Mountain had become barren.    

But there was no bleakness. The air was filled with a delightful vitality, as though, in the next moment, there would be countless flowers and trees growing out of the ground, or even out of the air.    

Elf Imperial Monarch raised her head and allowed the light dots that filled the sky to fall on her face.    

"The poison in the air has already been absorbed by the specks of light and disappeared."    

The Elf Imperial Monarch smiled and raised her right hand. With a thought, countless seeds floated out of the Space Ring.    

In an instant, the seeds covered the entire Yunding Mountain, and at an unimaginable speed, they took root and sprouted.    

Xiao Ou curled his lips. He felt that he should do something at this time.    

He formed a Dharma Seal with both hands and the image of a flawless lotus flower appeared in the air.    

A boundless amount of spiritual energy drifted down from it.    

The sprouts that had just protruded out of the ground began to grow at an astonishing speed, turning into mature flowers and trees.    

The Yunding Mountain became lush and verdant once again. The fragrance of flowers overflowed in all directions, full of vitality. It was so beautiful that it was like a paradise.    

At this time, Gu Xuan's Celestial Pills also disappeared.    

He had already completely refined the soul energy that had been absorbed into his body. He had obtained the enlightenment of the Pill Dao within it and had fused it with his own Pill Dao.    

This caused his Celestial Pills to become a little stronger.    

The strength of his soul had also increased a little.    

Although the improvement was very small, it was still flesh no matter how small it was. After refining the remaining nine Soul Energy of the Pill Saint, Gu Xuan believed that there would be a qualitative change no matter if it was the Pill Dao or the strength of the soul.    

"Hmm?"    

Gu Xuan suddenly raised his head and looked towards the location of the summit of the Cloud Cauldron Mountain.    

The dead bodhi tree was still in its original state, standing tall at the peak of the mountain.    

Whoosh.    

Gu Xuan rushed up to the peak.    

"What's going on? The other places have already been purified by me, and all the trees have turned into nothingness.    

The bodhi tree should also be like this, why is it still standing?"    

Gu Xuan frowned slightly, holding his chin, and pondered about the reason.    

The Elf Imperial Monarch walked over from behind Gu Xuan.    

She seemed to see through Gu Xuan's doubt.    

"Zuo Zi Mu is a Fourth Cycle Asura. His strength is great and his horizons won't be low.    

He could tell at a glance how precious the bodhi tree was.    

But he still chose to destroy the bodhi tree. Why do you think he did that?"    

Gu Xuan's pupils contracted slightly.    

Indeed, Zuo Zimu was not an idiot.    

He was confident that he would be able to Possess the Elf Imperial Monarch. After he succeeded, wouldn't he still be able to control everything in the Cloud Cauldron Mountain?    

Why would he destroy a tree?    

At most, he would just dig it out and plant it again.    

After the Bodhi Fruit ripened, it would be harvested and sold. Wouldn't it be fragrant?    

However, Zuo Zi's choice still destroyed the tree.    

This only meant one thing. The existence of the bodhi tree would affect her possession of the Elf Imperial Monarch!    

If the bodhi tree died, it would be beneficial for him to possess the Elf Imperial Monarch!    

"You have bound your soul to the bodhi tree!"    

Gu Xuan guessed the truth.    

A glint flashed across the eyes of the Elf Imperial Monarch.    

"It's not completely correct, but it's not far from it.    

In short, the bodhi tree still has a chance of survival!"
