Chapter 246: Chapter 233: Rebirth Bone Cleansing Pill
Seeing the expressions on Yangg Yan and the other two, Nie Yun smiled and gave a small nod.
The capture of his parents and loved ones had made Nie Yun realize something: personal strength alone wasn’t enough to protect them. He needed influence, too!
That was why he had accepted the ministers’ support without hesitation.
"I will be spending most of my time on cultivation, so I won’t have much time to manage the empire’s affairs. I’ll be counting on you to take care of things for me!"
’In any case, even as Emperor, Nie Yun had no intention of managing the government. As long as he was powerful enough, no one would dare to get any funny ideas, and he wouldn’t repeat the mistakes that led to the Fengg Family’s downfall.’
"Nie... Yes, Your Majesty!"
Yangg Yan and the others replied in unison, their eyes growing bloodshot with intense excitement.
Every man dreams of becoming a General or a Chancellor, and Yangg Yan and Feng Xiao never imagined they would achieve that dream so easily just by following Nie Yun.
The enthronement ceremony and accession rites took up the better part of the day, and it wasn’t until evening that things finally settled down.
The Divine Wind Empire was also renamed, becoming the Nie’s Empire.
’I never thought the Royal Treasure Vault would be even more bountiful than the Mi Tian Sect’s. There’s a good number of Spirit Stones, too...’
After successfully ascending the throne to become the first-ever Emperor of the Nie’s Empire, Nie Yun entered the Royal Treasure Vault alone. It was only upon going inside that he discovered the sheer abundance of treasures within, which surprisingly surpassed even that of the Mi Tian Sect.
It made sense, though. No matter how powerful the Mi Tian Sect was, it was still just a single Sect. This Treasure Vault, on the other hand, held the accumulated wealth of an entire Empire over many years.
He took a look around the Treasure Vault and found that only some of the Spirit Stones were useful to him. The other treasures, while considered priceless and exceptionally rare by others, meant little to him.
He already had the Nine-Turn Nirvana Skill and the Spirit Rhinoceros Body Refining Technique for his Cultivation Techniques, and the Profound Jade Sword for a weapon. Aside from treasures that could improve his Cultivation, he truly had no interest in ordinary items.
’Hm? Is this Duan Yang Grass and Bone-Softening Flower? I can’t believe they have something this good. With a few dozen other Medicinal Materials, I can refine the Rebirth Bone Cleansing Pill, which is designed specifically for Demon Beasts. A Demon Beast that consumes it will be completely reborn, and its strength will increase dramatically!’
Seeing the Medicinal Materials before him, Nie Yun’s eyes lit up.
Duan Yang Grass was a plant that sprouted at dawn and withered by dusk, growing only on a single day each year, making it incredibly rare. The Bone-Softening Flower, which grew in the most scorching places in the world, was even rarer. Even in his past life, he would have found it exceedingly difficult to obtain these two herbs. He never imagined that the Royal Treasure Vault would have more than ten stalks of each!
More than a dozen stalks meant he could refine more than a dozen Rebirth Bone Cleansing Pills. While useless for him, they would be perfect for the Wind Wolf King and his other pets. It would absolutely allow their strength to skyrocket, letting them truly leap to the Ultimate Venerable Peak!
’Nice. All the various Medicinal Materials needed to refine the Rebirth Bone Cleansing Pill are here...’
After carefully checking the inventory, Nie Yun was delighted to discover that between the treasures from the Mi Tian Sect and the Royal Family, he had everything he needed. Without another moment of hesitation, a Pill Fire ignited in his palm, and he began the Alchemy.
Now that his strength had greatly advanced and his Spiritual Power had grown, his control over the Pill Fire had improved considerably as well. In less than an hour, more than a dozen golden Elixirs appeared in his palm. The Rebirth Bone Cleansing Pills were a success.
After finishing the Elixirs, Nie Yun took one more look around the Treasure Vault, refining a few other types of pills that could raise a person’s Cultivation before slowly walking out.
Of course, these Elixirs were not of much use to him, as he had already reached the Ultimate Venerable Realm.
One loses all track of time when performing Alchemy. Upon exiting the Treasure Vault, Nie Yun realized it was already morning. He had been refining pills all night without even noticing.
Shaking his head, Nie Yun called out. The Wind Wolf King, Zi Tong, and Tie Yan flew over to him, and he casually tossed out three Elixirs.
"I have three Elixirs here, one for each of you. Take them. They will allow you to undergo a complete transformation, increasing both your strength and your cultivation speed!"
"Yes, Master!"
Hearing that the Elixirs could help them increase their Cultivation and improve their cultivation speed, the three Demon Beasts’ eyes gleamed, and they swallowed the pills without a second thought.
The Elixirs melted the moment they entered their mouths. A wave of intense pain washed over them, and the three Demon Beasts felt their auras begin to climb rapidly. This was especially true for the Wind Wolf King. Its power, originally at the Early-Stage Ultimate Venerable level, soared all the way to Ultimate Venerable Peak in less than an hour!
Although Tie Yan’s and Zi Tong’s realms didn’t increase by much, the power within their bodies churned unceasingly, having made a qualitative leap.
’It’s infuriating to compare humans to beasts...’
’I’ve absorbed countless Spirit Stones and haven’t even broken through to the Early-Stage Ultimate Venerable Realm, yet their Cultivation is soaring after a single Elixir. There’s just no comparison!’
’Still, the stronger his Three Great Demon Pets became, the happier he was. If even one of them could reach the Heaven-Seizing Creation Secret Realm, he would be able to do as he pleased across the entire Qi Sea Continent.’
’Of course, Nie Yun knew this was just wishful thinking. The Heaven-Seizing Creation Secret Realm was the greatest hurdle in cultivation on the Qi Sea Continent. The fact that only one person in the entire continent had ever reached it was proof enough. It was already incredibly difficult for humans to achieve, let alone Demon Beasts!’
’However... Demon Beasts advanced differently than humans. If they could consume the Inner Core of a Demon Beast from the Heaven-Seizing Creation Secret Realm, or the Demon Core of a Demon from that realm, they could break through directly!’
Recalling his experiences from his past life, Nie Yun’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Demon Beasts were different from humans. For a human to advance, they needed to comprehend the Heaven and Earth Law and achieve a perfect state of mind. Demon Beasts had no such requirements. A Demon Beast at the Ultimate Venerable Peak could break through simply by obtaining and consuming an Inner Core or Demon Core from a creature of the Heaven-Seizing Creation Secret Realm!
Of course, a human could also break through by obtaining a Demon Core from the Heaven-Seizing Creation Secret Realm. However, advancing this way meant severing one’s path of natural progression. Any future breakthroughs would also require a Demon Core, so most talented powerhouses were unwilling to resort to this method.
’If only I could kill that Demon from the Heaven-Seizing Creation Secret Realm in the Zi Qiong Mountain Range and take its Demon Core...’
The thought of the Demon from the Heaven-Seizing Creation Secret Realm in the Zi Qiong Mountain Range was tempting, but Nie Yun knew it was pure fantasy.
The Heaven-Seizing Creation Secret Realm involved usurping the very creation of the heavens and the earth, allowing one to wield the power of the world and circulate Mana. It was something no Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse could possibly resist. His current strength was merely average among those at the Ultimate Venerable Peak, to say nothing of killing a supreme expert of the Heaven-Seizing Creation Secret Realm!
"Your combat strength is almost on par with mine now. Zi Tong, Tie Yan, you two will remain here to guard the Imperial City. The Wind Wolf King and I are heading out for a bit!"
A little over an hour later, the Three Great Demon Pets finally completed their advancement. Seeing their auras, as sharp as unsheathed Treasure Sabers, Nie Yun knew their combat strength had taken a qualitative leap. They were likely not much weaker than he was now!
Thinking of all the effort it took for him to advance, he couldn’t help but feel that familiar frustration. ’Comparing humans to beasts is just infuriating!’
"Yes, Master!"
Zi Tong and Tie Yan replied in unison, brimming with newfound vigor.
"Heh." Knowing the Empire was safer than ever before with them on guard, Nie Yun gave a faint smile, leaped onto the Wind Wolf King’s back, and flew straight in the direction of the Iron Rock Mercenary Corps.
He had once promised to help Tie Lan’s Demon Pet, the Copper-Armed Giant Ape, advance, but he hadn’t found a good method until now. With the successful creation of the Rebirth Bone Cleansing Pill, it was time to make good on his word! (To be continued.
