“Well, you’ve said that this skull can be refined into an Elixir Furnace. How is it done?” After returning to the Wuyang Region, w.a.n.g She instantly began to do closed-door training to digest the benefits he got in Taiyuan Heaven. While Zhou Bao took Li Xiu around his territory before they both began to do closed-door training.

After all, the people came out from Taiyuan Heaven alive, all gained huge benefits. If they did not digest them, they would not rest a.s.sured, just like Golden Rooster. In order to disown him, Zhou Bao did not speak to him at either Blue Whale Island nor Taiyuan Heaven. Just as Zhou Bao tried to ask about his information, he had already gone into closed-door training.

Since all of them were doing closed-door training, Zhou Bao was no exception.

He was too powerful, and thus, every time he made a breakthrough during closed-door training, he would cause great chaos and destruction, which was nothing serious earlier.

However, he was married now. He had a wife and untold servants. He could not destroy his Lord Mansion at will.

He could not show his prowess in this way either.

Therefore, he especially selected a site on Jilei Mountain to do closed-door training.

It was a deep valley on the mountainside. Looking from outside, it was smoggy and cloudy. Birds and beasts were rarely seen around it.

Moreover, there was a poison swamp that was emitting insidious spirit.

Surrounding it were dead twigs and withered leaves. Because it consisted of old trees and crows and looked completely gloomy, it was not a good place for a righteous person to practice.

However, Zhou Bao thought it was a perfect place.

He was not demanding. His requirements for a practicing site were quiet and unoccupied.

As for the essence of the world that other pract.i.tioners required the most, he did not give a s.h.i.+t.

He did not need to care about it. His practice had nothing to do with the surrounding essence of the world. His acc.u.mulation was enough and his foundation was extremely solid. At present, rather than absorb the essence of the world, his main task was to make full use of the tremendous pneuma that was stored in his body.

The first thing he needed to do was to inquire about the usage of the Innate Deity’s skull that he had acquired.

It was like a yellow jade and he knew it was unusual. However, he could not figure out its specialty. It was just like a skull that was carved completely out of yellow jade, it was like the ordinary artwork that he had seen in his previous life.

“Since you’ve put your Tusita Fire in it, you just need to carve some formations now!” Green Spirit said gently. His psywave quivered strangely as if he was thinking about something.

“Formations? What kind of formations? What should I do?”Zhou Bao asked.

Patterns came out from Green Spirit’s psywave one after another and directly imprinted into Zhou Bao’s mind. “These are the formations. The skull of the deity… Eh…”

While Zhou Bao was receiving the patterns, Green Spirit emanated a voice in surprise.

“What’s up?” Zhou Bao asked.

“There must be something wrong with you, boy. How can your spirit be that strong? I cannot communicate with you now unless you agree. Besides, I cannot sense your physical condition. Your strength seems to have disappeared all of a sudden, but at the same time, it seems to have increased by several times. I completely cannot figure out what has happened to you. No matter how miraculous the Pure Yang Water is, it wouldn’t bring you such a change!”

“How about adding on the remains of the Innate Deity?” Zhou Bao laughed straightforwardly. “Moreover, my Real Dragon’s Nine Acupoints had a small problem!” Zhou Bao then began to talk about the colossal Dantian that was made up of his nine acupoints, and the tremendous golden Genuine Soul that had been stored in his Dantian together with the mysterious yellow energy that he had absorbed in the Innate Deity. Green Spirit was astonished and bemused.

“Are you serious? I’m unable to examine your physical condition at this moment!” Green Spirit said dubiously. He thought of a possibility in Zhou Bao’s words. However, if it was true, he was way too lucky, because it was only a legend in the antiquity times.

“Of course. I don’t need to cheat you!”

“Then you must try to operate the Golden Essence in your giant Dantian and show it to me!”

“It’ll be fabulous if I can operate it. The Golden Essence is about to solidify. I’m unable to operate it!” Zhou Bao said. He had tried several times as he came back. However, the golden power in his giant Dantian was like a huge yellow crystal. He could not operate it at all.

“Then show me your Internal Qi right now!” Green Spirit said. His expectation was revealed by his psywave.

“Fine!” Zhou Bao nodded in agreement. He operated Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique, and a dark golden flame-like airflow appeared on his palm.

“Hiss!” As it showed up, Green Spirit could not help gasping in wonderment. He stepped backward dozens of feet and then stopped. He looked at Zhou Bao fearfully and said, “Lad, how lucky you are?! This in no way is Internal Qi. It’s Dharma power!”

“Dharma power?!” Zhou Bao was astonished. He glanced at the strange flame in his palm and said, “No way! You’ve said that I can only possess it after I pa.s.s through Thunder Tribulation and become a Genuine Immortal. Moreover, it possesses special Divine Senses and other functions. Why haven’t I found anything in it?”

“This is Dharma power. The main purpose of undergoing the so-called Thunder Tribulation is to let your Internal Qi be infected with Divine Qi. You’ve finished this process through your wife. Your body has been strengthened by the Pure Yang Water, and your Internal Qi is mutated through the Pure Yang Water as well. Presently, your Internal Qi contains Dharma power rather than the Real Essence. Besides, your Demonic Fire Internal Qi has completely been turned into Real Essence. Real Essence mingling with Dharma power is the hallmark of a Metaphysic Individual Immortal, whose cultivation has reached the peak of the Marrow-cleansing Realm.”

Green Spirit stopped for a while and then continued speaking. “If I’m right, the material that is stored in your giant Dantian is the pure and immense Dharma power. To be precise, it’s golden Dharma power. I don’t even know what should I say now!”

“Do you mean it’s a good thing?”

“For others, it’s not a good thing, because the stronger they are now, the more powerful the Genuine Immortal Tribulation will be. However, you’ve been purified by the Pure Yang Water. Except for your spirit, your other parts are as powerful as that of experts among Metaphysic Individual Immortals. As you refine your spirit to a certain degree, you’ll pa.s.s through the Thunder Tribulation and achieve Genuine Immortal Karma Rank by skipping the stage of being an Individual Immortal. Only some legendary mighty figures in primitive times could do it. Even in antiquity times, few people could skip the Metaphysic Realm to be a Genuine Immortal directly. What a powerful man you are!”

“Does that mean I’ll encounter the Thunder Tribulation soon?”

“Yes. If you don’t suppress your cultivation purposefully, you’ll face the Thunder Tribulation in 10 to 20 years. At that time, if you’re lucky enough to avoid from being split into ashes, you must achieve Genuine Immortal Karmic Rank!”

“I don’t want to become ashes!” Zhou Bao murmured. He was somewhat depressed. Achieving the Body of True Immortality was a good thing for him. After all, strength was everything in this world!

However, before this, he must encounter the Thunder Tribulation!

The Thunder Tribulation of Genuine Immortals could not be easily pa.s.sed through by common people. They were not like protagonists in novels that had privileges either. Pa.s.sing through the Thunder Tribulation was not funny, rather, it would take someone’s life. Among 10 Individual Immortals, eight would die of the Thunder Tribulation. Among the remaining two lucky dogs, one would end up losing all his magic weapons.

Moreover, Zhou Bao was different from other ordinary Individual Immortals. The latter ones were listed immortals, and some of their Original Spirit was on the Golden Book of Fate. Even if they were split into ashes, their Original Spirit could remain. However, Zhou Bao ascended the Realm of True Immortality from Level Nine directly. If he failed, he would become ashes and leave nothing.

“10 years! It’s way too short. What if I suppress my cultivation?”

“That will depend on your situation. But I must remind you that the more fiercely you suppress your cultivation, the more profound it’ll be, and the more fierce the Thunder Tribulation will be!”

“Will it be troublesome for me? Why did you say that it’s harmful to others? What about me?”

“No, it won’t. It’ll be extremely easy for you to pa.s.s through the Thunder Tribulation as long as you refine this skull into a fairy Elixir Furnace!” Green Spirit revealed strong envy in his psywave. “The skull of the Innate Deity! You’ve absorbed its remains. What are you afraid of? Once you finish refining the Elixir Furnace, even a Thunder Tribulation of 18 layers cannot restrain you!”

“Can I be that powerful?” Zhou Bao was exalted. His heart moved, and the skull that was like a yellow jade flew out of his Dantian. The Tusita Fire was burning in the skull as if it had integrated with the skull, and the two eye holes emitted abstruse light as if the skull suddenly possessed life.

“The Innate Deity’s skull is a fairy weapon with unimaginable power. If it’s refined properly, it’ll be extremely powerful. I believe that you should have sensed it now!” Green Spirit said this as Zhou Bao was integrating formations, one after another into the skull.

“Yeah. I’ve already sensed it!” Leading the Tusita Fire in the skull to burn, Zhou Bao turned his dark golden Internal Qi into formations and spells. Then he infused them into the skull. He could feel the mighty Divine Sense contained in the fairy weapon that belonged to him.

Suddenly, the skull quivered. It flew higher and higher and became bigger. All of a sudden, it turned into a 100-foot radius giant skull. A bright light flashed through Zhou Bao’s eyes, and then a golden light appeared behind his head. His Golden Flame Mirror flew out automatically and then flew into the giant skull directly. Then, a flas.h.i.+ng golden light integrated with the Tusita Fire in the skull. It was s.h.i.+mmering in the eye holes of the skull. Later on, it flew out and shot into the place between the skull’s eyebrows.

“This is…”

The sudden change stunned Zhou Bao. He found that his Golden Flame Mirror really infused with the skull, and turned into a golden spot in between its eyebrows. It gradually melted and finally disappeared.

Later on, the giant skull turned back to its normal size. It floated in front of Zhou Bao and went in-between his eyebrows.

“What?!” Zhou Bao was flabbergasted. But soon after, he felt very comfortable. After entering the place between his eyebrows, the skull turned into a heat flow and ran through his whole body. He felt an unparalleled strong sense all over his body.

Yes. Amazingly strong!

“My body has been strengthened by 100 times at least. Its intensity is greater than that of the Pure Yang Celestial Device!” As he sensed the benefits brought by this skull, he was overjoyed. Then, a bigger surprise struck his spirit again.

The ancient formation was pa.s.sed into his spirit, which helped him understand the wonderful usages and methods of application of this skull.

His divine thoughts moved. The yellow light in between his eyebrows flashed, and then the Skull Elixir Furnace flew out again. As he pointed a finger, a.s.sorted herbs and blood of rare spiritual creatures he brought from Taiyuan Heaven, all rushed into the skull. Within a few seconds, thousands of elixirs flew out of the eyes of the Elixir Furnace. The fragrance of elixirs pervaded everywhere. Even the poison swamp under the steep valley could not suppress the immense fragrance. It spread over dozens of miles and agitated all of the animals on Jilei Mountain.

“Haha. Good. The Elixir Furnace is really good!” Zhou Bao rotated in the air and turned into a dark golden light, going into the Elixir Furnace.

Phew… The Elixir Furnace turned into a yellow rainbow and disappeared from the horizon. Within several seconds, Zhou Bao already reached the coast of the East Sea.

“How speedy it is! It really broke the hollow directly. It’s more convenient than the Three Realms Division!”

On the coast of the East Sea, he came out of the Elixir Furnace and glanced at his surroundings complacently. Meanwhile, he was calculating his speed, and gains and losses.

“The only shortcoming is that I’ll exhaust plenty of energy every time I use it. d.a.m.n it! Within a few seconds, a quarter of the Real Essence Dharma power in my nine acupoints has been exhausted. The quant.i.ty of my Real Essence Dharma power is dozens of times more compared to that of ordinary Individual Immortals. Without the cultivation of Genuine Immortals, no one can use such a fairy weapon. I wonder why Ye Qingtian could utilize the North Pole Frozen Wheel.”

“Lad, don’t show off in front of me. Now, you can rest easy with it. However, it’s a fairy weapon. Therefore, it’s not easy for you to utilize it. You cannot depend on it too much. You’d better save the use of it!”

“I got it. I won’t use it unless I need to refine elixirs or use it as a last resort under dangerous circ.u.mstances!” Zhou Bao nodded in agreement. He went into the skull once again. The yellow rainbow pa.s.sed through the sky and returned to the poison swamp under the steep valley.

After that, he began to check the gains he had acquired in Taiyuan Heaven.

Compared to w.a.n.g She and other people, Zhou Bao gained less in Taiyuan Heaven in terms of quant.i.ty, because he had stayed in the tomb of the Innate Deity most of his time.

The materials he had acquired were less than 10% of those of other people. Except sc.r.a.ping together the materials to refine the Air-frozen Bead and elixirs, there was nothing he could show off.

However, he gained the most compared to others in terms of quality.

He had acquired seven Pure Yang Celestial Devices!

His Golden Flame Mirror was absorbed by the Skull Elixir Furnace and the two integrated as a whole. Moreover, his Poison Cold s.h.i.+eld began to evolve into a Pure Yang Celestial Device. At least within half a month, it would be successful. His Knot Golden Net, Golden-Scaled Cudgel, and Blue Sword were evolving as well. However, it would take a lot of time to finish the procedure.

He was unable to use the three Pure Yang Celestial Devices that were evolving. So, he only possessed the two Pure Yang Celestial Devices that were available, the Sky-measuring Star Ruler and Lunar Shuttle.

“I shall refine the Lunar Shuttle first!” Zhou Bao thought secretly and then took the Lunar Shuttle out of the s.p.a.ce of Segmented Realms directly.

It quivered as it came out of the s.p.a.ce of Segmented Realms. Moreover, it was about to fly as if it was attracted by some great force.

“Stupid!” Zhou Bao snorted coldly. He then stretched out a hand to capture it. It was then controlled by an immense power, and unable to move.

Suddenly, a fierce killing intent was emitted from the Lunar Shuttle. It condensed into a thread and shot toward the place between his eyebrows.

“Presumptuous!” Zhou Bao did not dodge the killing intent, but let it dart toward his forehead.

Clas.h.!.+

The killing intent collided with Zhou Bao’s forehead. Right after that, a sound of metal clapping emanated. Zhou Bao’s head vibrated slightly. However, the killing intent completely disappeared.

As the Lunar Shuttle tried to condense killing intent once again, Zhou Bao clenched his hand. He subdued the immense killing intent directly as if bearing down on it with the weight of Mountain Tai.

“Wow. I’m way too strong. After possessing the Skull Elixir Furnace, my body became more powerful than an ordinary Pure Yang Celestial Device. It can be said that it’s already a Pure Yang Celestial Device!” Zhou Bao grasped the killing intent of the Lunar Shuttle, smiling secretly.

“Lad, don’t waste your energy anymore. You can just refine the red gourd right now. It suffered severe damage earlier and now requires the nourishment of this killing intent. Give it the Lunar Shuttle!”

“What? Are you telling me to give the Lunar Shuttle to the red gourd?”

“Of course!” Green Spirit’s psywave came to Zhou Bao’s mind. “Don’t waste your energy to refine the Lunar Shuttle. It’s useless to you!”

“Alright!” Zhou Bao nodded in agreement. He twisted one of his fingertips. After that, a red spot shot out of the hollow. It was the red gourd he had plundered earlier.

“Then how should I refine it?”

“Use the method you’ve applied to celestial devices!” Green Spirit said helplessly. “How did you refine the skull of the Innate Deity?”

“You’ve said that it’s a Heavenly Fairy Weapon. I’m afraid that something might go wrong!”

“Stay calm and handle things appropriately. Nothing will happen!” Green Spirit said.

“What do you mean?” Zhou Bao was amazed. One of his fingers flickered and his blood dripped on the gourd. Just when he raised his hand and prepared to refine it…

No one had expected that a mighty vital force would fiercely hit his spirit head-on as his blood met the surface of the red gourd.

“Ugh, phew!”

Zhou Bao was not well-prepared mentally. He spouted out a mouthful of blood directly. After that, the second force struck him again.

He stepped backward continuously like a man who was moving forward when encountering a typhoon of the 12th grade.

Every time he stepped backward, he would spit out a mouthful of blood. Worst of all, his face grew paler and paler.

Nine crystal-clear thoughts flashed out of the place between his eyebrows, as if they were going to escape. However, they were enveloped by an invisible force. Therefore, they struck violently.

Zhou Bao was no longer sanguine. The spirit revealed by the red gourd grew weirder. It turned into numerous sharp tiny blades and cut his spirit apart little by little. Their attacks were directly targeting his spirit. It was in no way his first time to experience this kind of attack, however, among all such experiences, it was the most violent one.

Moreover, it was extremely hard to endure.

He felt as if his spirit was cut into pieces. He was in a trance and his nine crystal-clear divine thoughts became dark. Just when he was about to lose the ability to resist the spirit attack of the red gourd and be completely crushed down, his Fiery Eyes operated again. The red light was glowing, and black lines were rotating. The thorn surrounding these black lines was clear and distinct. As these black lines were rotating, a powerful force was delivered to his spirit from a mysterious s.p.a.ce and began to repair the injuries on his spirit.

At that moment, he finally felt relieved. Without thinking, he bit on the tip of his tongue fiercely and spat a mouthful of essence and blood onto the surface of the red gourd. He then made gestures in a hurry. Abstruse gestures were printed on the gourd quickly. The murderous intent emitted by the gourd became thinner and fewer as Zhou Bao continuously made gestures to suppress it. Finally, everything came to an end. A subtle connection appeared between Zhou Bao’s spirit and the red gourd.

“d.a.m.n it! I finally solved this fu*king problem!” Although he would not be attacked by the red gourd, his body was tottering, as if he would fall down any time.

“Bah…” He ferociously spat out a mouthful of blood bubbles on the ground, which smashed a stone.

“Green Spirit, what should I do next?”

“Ugh… Destroy the Lunar Shuttle and let the gourd absorb its murderous intent!” Green Spirit stopped talking for a while. He felt somewhat surprised.

He had thought that Zhou Bao would surely complain loudly and blame him for not reminding him of this matter when he suddenly suffered such a great loss. Little did he expect that Zhou Bao said nothing about it.

“Fine. Smash…” Zhou Bao clenched his hands which held the Lunar Shuttle.

Cluck… A horrible cracking sound echoed through his hands. Meanwhile, an extremely powerful murderous intent emitted out from his palms.

Feeling this murderous intent, the red gourd slightly quivered. It let out a mysterious suction and sucked all the murderous intent emitted out from Zhou Bao’s palms.

The red gourd sucked all the Lunar Shuttle’s debris after Zhou Bao opened his hands. After that, it leaped slightly, as if it burped after satiating. Later on, it began to shrink to a half palm-sized shuttle, hanging in front of Zhou Bao.

At this moment, Zhou Bao felt that he was able to operate this fairy weapon. However, as he tried to operate it through the tie between his spirit and the red gourd, a great suction appeared on the red gourd, as if it was going to absorb his spirit completely.

He quivered suddenly and took back both his spirit that had not been recovered yet, and his nine divine thoughts, in a hurry.

“Although I can refine it now, it’s still hard for me to utilize it!” He sighed gently.

“Of course. It’s a Heavenly Fairy Weapon. Your body and Internal Qi is incredibly strong, but your spirit is considerably weak. It cannot operate the Fairy Weapon of the Way of Killing!”
