Chapter 694: Chapter 75: Subduing the White Tiger, the Empress’s Treasury
As for the Purifying Pill, it follows the Path of Heart Refining, a Mind Pill that is unique in the entire Three Realms, capable of honing the spiritual will of Immortals and Buddhas.
This pill was left behind by the Tao Ancestor, refined with Primordial Qi fallen from the Chaos Heaven by the Pure Heaven, extracting the Fierce Qi within, and transformed into a pill using Supreme Tao Techniques.
Although this pill is named Purifying Pill, it is extremely perilous. After consuming the pill, the mind will be tempered by the chaotic and violent forces, and any slight negligence may lead to losing one’s mind, resulting in the scattering of the soul, and the annihilation of the self.
Even Celestial Venerates are reluctant to come into contact with it; only those who wish to advance further on the path to becoming a Great Emperor might seek to obtain the Purifying Pill by any means necessary.
The last of the Supreme Treasure Pills, the Bodhi Pill, is an Enlightenment Treasure. Consuming this treasure pill allows one to unite with the Heavenly Dao, becoming nearly equivalent to a Celestial Venerate for a short time and can practice from the perspective and realm of a Celestial Venerate.
Even for a Celestial Venerate, this pill is quite beneficial, as it enhances the connection with the Heavenly Dao, senses the subtle changes in the Heavenly Path Torrent, and hones one’s own Great Tao.
Since ancient times, these three Treasure Pills were exclusively enjoyed by Celestial Venerates, with most Immortals, Buddhas, and Saints below them having never even heard of them.
It was only during the one hundred thousand years while the Empress reigned over the Three Realms that after the Divine Venerate Taoist Master rendered great merit, they could be occasionally obtained.
Lu Chengfeng found these three kinds of pills in the Empress’s treasury, with only three Primordial Pills, seven Purifying Pills, and the least, only one Bodhi Pill remaining.
"The Great Sun Celestial Patrol Divine Venerate and Earth Mother Dragon Venerate, this couple is simply squandering treasures." Lu Chengfeng couldn’t help but lament, as this couple had each consumed a Bodhi Pill in the past.
"No wonder in the clairvoyant visions of the future, this couple had a great chance to achieve the rank of Celestial Venerate."
"With such a treasury at their disposal, filled with Magical Treasures and Pills, even the three great Treasure Pills that Celestial Venerates covet were readily available to them."
"No wonder they want to hide, for if the three great Celestial Venerates were to find them, they would likely be torn apart."
Lu Chengfeng was green with envy. If this couple hadn’t consumed the Bodhi Pills, he could directly own three Bodhi Pills, providing unparalleled benefits for deducing the Transformation Path.
In addition to these three kinds of Treasure Pills, the treasury also contained Chaos Treasure-grade treasures; Chaos Divine Iron and Chaos Spirit Liquid were the most numerous. There were also some seeds and peculiarities he couldn’t recognize, seeming to be nurtured by Chaos.
For other Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, Divine Weapons, and Pills, precious in the Three Realms, they were piled up like mountains; even if he squandered them, they wouldn’t be exhausted in tens of thousands of years.
"I’ve struck it rich, really rich this time!"
Lu Chengfeng’s eyes were red, and he couldn’t even bother with the White Tiger Divine Venerate; women were less important than treasures.
He contacted Luo Suyi to have her move the Cyan Nether Palace here while he began cultivating.
With such a treasury, he didn’t need to search for treasures outside; if they’re not in the Empress’s treasury, they’re either nonexistent in the Three Realms, or rubbish that the Empress doesn’t care about.
He originally considered finding the White Tiger Taoist Lord to bring the two sisters into his harem.
But after seeing this treasury, he even temporarily set aside that plan.
Once his Cultivation progresses further, he will suppress the White Tiger Taoist Lord and the other three Ancient Fierce Beasts together, thereby transforming his Cultivation to the Celestial Venerable Realm in one fell swoop.
Although Lu Chengfeng was very eager to consume the three Treasure Pills to elevate his Cultivation to the extreme, after simulating countless times with the Path of Time, he planned out the most reasonable cultivation and usage method.
He began a lengthy period of secluded training.
He selected from the treasury nineteen kinds of Immortal Pills extremely precious even to the Divine Venerate Taoist Master, highly effective for Enlightenment practice, spiritual baptism, and refining the body, and these Immortal Pills could complement each other.
Lu Chengfeng would consume nineteen Immortal Pills every seven days, using them to deduce his Transformation Path. Whenever he gained something, he would seek verification with the White Tiger Divine Venerate, continuing to wear down this White Tiger’s arrogance while verifying his own practice.
The White Tiger Divine Venerate was extremely enraged; this damn guy was using her as a whetstone and every time employed such despicable means to coerce her.
She felt as if she had become a woman of an ordinary brothel, or even worse than a brothel woman.
Because that damned guy took advantage without paying!
One year into Lu Chengfeng’s seclusion, Luo Suyi finally moved the Cyan Nether Palace to this place.
The Cyan Nether Palace stood alongside the Shenxiao Palace, becoming a paradise within the vast Chaos Celestial Abyss.
Lu Chengfeng also no longer restrained his Guardian True Spirits, releasing Lu Tongtong and his concubines, allowing them to walk freely within the two palaces.
Aside from the treasuries in the palaces, there were also many hidden opportunities and creations within the two palaces.
They could also continually improve their Cultivation.
The Three Realms were in turmoil, and the mortal world constantly changed, yet Lu Chengfeng hid in this paradise, focused on cultivation, and ignored earthly matters.
In the third year of his cultivation, Red Dog finally emerged from seclusion, breaking through to become a Dharma Form Great Power.
"Hahaha, my path has finally been completed!"
Red Dog’s accumulation in the True Monarch Realm was profoundly deep; in one day of emergence, his Tao Cultivation rushed straight into the Ninth Layer Tower. The Path of Devouring the Sun was terrifyingly potent, devouring the Essence Qi from all directions, even drawing the sunlight and moonlight, presenting a grand spectacle capable of shaking the Three Realms.
However, this was inside the Shenxiao Palace, so no matter how significant the commotion was, it couldn’t reach the outside, let alone the fact that beyond was still the Chaos Celestial Abyss.
Hence, Red Dog’s breakthrough did not create any waves in the Three Realms.
After the breakthrough, Red Dog’s true form became even smaller, appearing as a one-foot-long black-haired thin dog.
However, its eyes were crimson, like two Great Suns, radiating a fierce light that made hearts tremble.
"Lu Chengfeng brat, this Venerate has finally broken through, I will protect you in the future!" Red Dog was incredibly excited after the breakthrough, having ascended into the Ninth Layer Tower in one stroke, with profound Tao Cultivation and infinite Divine Techniques.
He grandly declared to Lu Chengfeng: "In the future, this Venerate can help you traverse the Three Realms."
Lu Chengfeng was speechless, considering whether he should use one-tenth of his strength to punch him into minced meat or three-tenths to knock him down.
Suddenly, Lu Tongtong, who was always causing trouble among the harem’s concubines, appeared. This little guy’s eyes lit up upon seeing Red Dog.
"Where did this little dog come from?"
Her voice still echoed in the Void when her fair little hand reached out, grabbing Red Dog.
"Where did this brat come from? You’re the dog! This Venerate is the Sun-Devouring Divine Venerate, and I’ll teach you a lesson!"
Red Dog had just broken through, full of pride and ambition, and seeing a little one daring to speak such disrespectful words, he was ready to teach a lesson.
"Where did this kid come from? Lu, you and which woman gave birth to her? She’s quite charming and adorable, but her vision is lacking, and her mouth needs work."
"Why not leave her to me, let me teach her, and surely she’ll become a descendant beyond your expectation..."
Red Dog was chattering when Lu Tongtong’s fair little hand clutched his neck, grabbing the scruff of his neck along with the fur, lifting him up.
"Dad, where did this little dog come from that it can talk? It’s so ugly..."
Lu Tongtong held Red Dog by the scruff, curiously examining this black-furred, short-tailed thin dog, "Is it male or female? Let me see..."
Red Dog’s face turned green, not expecting such a mishap. Having once broken through into the Dharma Form Great Power and with his foundation and strengths, he could even challenge Divine Venerate Taoist Masters.
Yet this little creature suddenly locked his Divine Techniques and Mana, subdued his Dharma Form, and left him completely confused, like a mundane puppy caught by the scruff, hoisted by someone.
"I... I..."
"Where did this monster come from??!"
"Let me go, let me go!"
Red Dog was so anxious his eyes burned, loudly roaring.
"Good dog, aren’t you a dog? Let me hear you bark then; I’ve never heard one before!"
Lu Tongtong’s devilish voice echoed, and Red Dog felt his sight darken, wishing he could faint on the spot.
"Ah... help..."
