Chapter 577: Chapter 476: Ninefold Alchemy, Treasure Body Formation!

Mellow Fire, and it’s only the first revolution!

Han Zhan’s remaining thoughts were filled with regret; he shouldn’t have been drawn in by the grand promises painted by Taishang Laojun.

Think about it, a flesh body surpassing that of the Demon God, could it be so easily refined?

But now, it’s too late to regret it.

Once you draw the bow, there’s no turning back; he can only grit his teeth and forge ahead!

Mellow Fire, second revolution.

The fire stripes of the Six Ding Divine Fire have already begun to etch deeply onto Han Zhan’s Jade Bone.

Six Great Ruins stand like six giant volcanoes, spewing a massive amount of Spiritual Power, resisting the destructive damage brought by the Divine Fire.

Han Zhan sat heavily on the ground, like a Jade Skull engulfed in smoldering flames.

He placed his hands on his knees, head slightly lowered, enduring the tempering of the Eight Trigrams Furnace and the Six Ding Divine Fire.

Mellow Fire, third revolution.

The first Great Ruin, unable to withstand the might of the Divine Fire, burned to ashes.

This was more akin to a chain reaction.

Soon after, the second, the third... all six Great Ruins collapsed completely!

Han Zhan’s continuously reshaped Jade Bone is now densely engraved with fire stripes.

But without the support of the Spiritual Power from the Great Ruin, these Jade Bones also began to show cracks.

Mellow Fire, fourth revolution.

Han Zhan realized that just relying on the Taixu Return Collection’s six Great Ruins, enduring up to the fourth revolution of Mellow Fire within the Eight Trigrams Furnace was already the limit.

Continuing any further would result in a complete meltdown, turning to dust, and the annihilation of his form and spirit.

Other methods must be used to continue the tempering process!

In the burning extremity of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, even his consciousness began to blur from the heat.

Han Zhan wanted to instinctively gather the Divine Soldiers, but forcibly halted himself with unimaginable willpower.

No, it’s not the time yet.

Enduring the tempering of the flesh body longer yields greater benefits.

If other methods are used now, how will he cope later on!

At this thought, Han Zhan’s blurred consciousness surprisingly began to sharpen a bit.

This was thanks to the nourishment from the Bodhi Treasure Tree on his sea of consciousness.

He began to ponder.

The Bodhi Treasure Tree not only enhanced Han Zhan’s mental will but also his comprehension.

It’s just that one event after another left him no time for contemplation.

Of course, there are also reasons within himself.

Only when humans are forced into a desperate situation will more untapped potential explode forth.

Teacher Li Shutong once said, the release of the Urgent Lock in the Eight Urgent Fist is realized between life and death.

The teacher could simplify the Taixu Return Collection of the Ancient God’s body tempering into the Eight Urgent Fist.

As for me?

What can I do?

In the Eight Trigrams Furnace, every second is between life and death; the Bodhi Treasure Tree grants Han Zhan unparalleled comprehension, allowing him to inspect himself in the flash of an instant.

The body refining of the Taixu Return Collection is the Ruin.

The body refining of the Eight Urgent Fist is the Urgent Lock.

They represent different forms, yet can achieve the same effect.

All paths lead to the same destination!

In that instant, Han Zhan seemed to suddenly realize.

"The teacher’s Urgent Lock intends to face outward, obtaining more potential through the external pressure of life and death."

"The Ancient God’s Great Ruin intends to delve inward, extracting extreme power by squeezing the Ancient God’s body."

"I’ve experienced both methods, each with its own pros and cons. What I need to do now is find a way that belongs solely to me!"

"I must hone both inside and outside, enduring external pressure while squeezing the vast energy hidden within my body!"

Outside is external force, the pressing threat of death.

Inside is internal force, the utmost squeezing of the body.

Such inner and outer cycles can rotate and renew.

At the moment of Han Zhan’s enlightenment, countless flames surged into the collapsed Singularity.

There, it was no longer an Urgent Lock, nor a Great Ruin.

Under Han Zhan’s guidance, it began to coalesce into a brand new outline belonging only to itself.

That was a white vortex, formed anew like a Black Hole after the Singularity collapsed!

The Six Ding Divine Fire, as a destructive force of annihilation, symbolized the death threat of external force.

It was massively absorbed by the white vortex, and new life emerged and surged forth from within it!

The Jade Bone, which was once full of fine cracks, was restored and shone with a more dazzling golden glow!

Mellow Fire, fifth revolution.

Outside the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Taishang Laojun, with exquisite mana, controlled the Six Ding Divine Fire within the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

The fire’s intensity couldn’t be too strong, as excessive fire might destroy both the pill and the person.

Yet, the fire couldn’t be too weak, or the tempering effect wouldn’t be achieved.

This required extremely detailed and subtle mana control, something only a master of the Alchemy Dao like Taishang Laojun could accomplish.

When the Mellow Fire reached the fifth revolution, he lightly exclaimed.

Just now, he thought that the body tempering within the Eight Trigrams Furnace was on the verge of failure.

But suddenly, the body that was about to shatter was re-consolidated.

This made Taishang Laojun unconsciously exclaim in surprise.

"I can sense that the ’Elixir Body’ within the Eight Trigrams Furnace has strengthened again."

"To temporarily break through one’s limits in such an environment, this young one indeed possesses an unparalleled demeanor."

After exclaiming, Taishang Laojun quickly immersed in thought, returning to the Nine Revolutions Refining Pill.

The longer Han Zhan could endure, the better it was for him too.

This way, he could more clearly perceive the changes of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill in body tempering, verifying it with the Ancient Body Refining Technique simultaneously.

He waved the Duster once more.

The flames in the Eight Trigrams Furnace grew even stronger than before.

Mellow Fire, sixth revolution.

At this moment, Han Zhan’s body was stripped of the Urgent Lock and Great Ruin, leaving only the white vortex, like a miniature Cosmos.

Its capacity, after swallowing a massive amount of Six Ding Divine Fire, also reached its limit.

The outline of the entire white vortex was already tinged with a layer of red.

At any moment, a second destruction might occur.

But at this time, a new Singularity appeared on the original shattered Great Ruin, transforming into a brand new white vortex!

Mellow Fire seventh, eighth, and ninth revolutions.

Six white vortices in Han Zhan’s body were fully activated.

The Jade Bones sitting lifelessly in the Eight Trigrams Furnace were completely inscribed with complex fire rune symbols.

This was the method Taishang Laojun used to refine the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, refining the body through the method of alchemy!

After nine revolutions of Mellow Fire.

The entirety of Han Zhan’s skeleton gained a hint of red on top of its original jade luster.

In the absurdly high temperatures of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, it actually adapted completely.

Despite remaining in the state of a Jade Skull, Han Zhan now exuded an aura of majestic solemnity.

The lifeless Jade Skull in the furnace emanated a faint aura, like a great furnace containing destructive energy.

Nine Revolutions Refining, Treasure Body Formation!

Outside the Eight Trigrams Furnace, Taishang Laojun opened his eyes, "Nine revolutions of Mellow Fire is the limit for a regular Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, but it’s not yet perfect."

The perfect state of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill requires undergoing Nine Revolutions of Martial Fire beyond the Mellow Fire.

The rapid cooking of Martial Fire, even Taishang Laojun cannot guarantee complete control of the heat.

Thus, perfect Top-Grade Golden Cores are rare even in Laojun’s Alchemy Room’s Elixir Gourd, each one exceptionally precious.

"My young friend, do you wish to continue?"

Taishang Laojun looked at the figure within the Eight Trigrams Furnace and asked.
