Chapter 1937: Chapter 1940: Refining the Lesser Immortal Ascension Pill
Now, although the Human Sovereign Jar has acquired seven fragments, it is still far from complete and remains extremely fragile, unable to withstand successive attacks from a strong Heavenly Human Realm warrior.
It might hold up once accidentally, but if it endures several consecutive blows, the Human Sovereign Jar could be shattered again.
Chu Fengmian is reluctant to use the Human Sovereign Jar, considering this very reason.
Yet this time, Chu Fengmian was pushed to the limit by the Lim Sword Sea Emperor and was forced to use the Human Sovereign Jar, finally finding the chance to escape from the Sea Sword Sect.
However, Chu Fengmian is well aware that his escape this time was somewhat fortunate.
If the Lim Sword Sea Emperor hadn’t been so careless and underestimated the Human Sovereign Jar in Chu Fengmian’s possession, Chu Fengmian wouldn’t have found the opportunity to escape.
If Chu Fengmian encounters the Lim Sword Sea Emperor again and the latter is prepared, Chu Fengmian is certain to die.
Though the Lim Sword Sea Emperor is cautious by nature, he never calculated that Chu Fengmian held the Human Sovereign Jar, such an Extreme Immortal Soldier, capable of withstanding his ultimate sword strike.
That deadly sword strike is almost impossible for any Half-step Heavenly Human Realm warrior to withstand, even a Heavenly Human Realm warrior would be severely injured or killed.
Luckily, the Human Sovereign Jar absorbed 99% of its power, allowing Chu Fengmian to survive.
"My realm is too low; I must break through to the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor and reach the Half-step Heavenly Human Realm. Only then will I truly have the ability to contend with a Heavenly Human Realm warrior like the Lim Sword Sea Emperor."
This battle made Chu Fengmian deeply understand the terror of a Heavenly Human Realm warrior.
He had previously fought the Mad Dragon Emperor, who indeed used all his might, but the Mad Dragon Emperor did not intend to kill Chu Fengmian.
A Heavenly Human Realm warrior with the intent to kill unleashes completely different power.
After this battle, Chu Fengmian truly recognized the might of a Heavenly Human Realm warrior.
But in his confrontation with the Lim Sword Sea Emperor, it became clear that Chu Fengmian’s swordsmanship, numerous opportunities, and Sword Dao insights were no less than the Lim Sword Sea Emperor’s, even stronger.
His current weakness is strength.
Even though Chu Fengmian’s power far exceeds hundreds, thousands of times that of the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, stronger than the power of Half-step Heavenly Human Realm martial artist demon gods at their peak.
Yet, before a real Heavenly Human Realm, it’s still not enough.
Chu Fengmian possesses numerous fortuitous encounters that, as his realm rises, will manifest even greater power.
Once Chu Fengmian steps into the Half-step Heavenly Human Realm, his power will surge tenfold, and the resulting changes will be multifaceted, possibly increasing his actual strength a hundredfold.
By then, even if Chu Fengmian isn’t a Heavenly Human Realm, he will not be far from battling a Heavenly Human Realm warrior, at least not requiring the Human Sovereign Jar to contend with the Lim Sword Sea Emperor.
"This trench, the disciples of the Sea Sword Sect won’t be able to search here for a while, I will refine the Small Immortal Pills first in this place."
To break through the realm, the Small Immortal Pill is essential for Chu Fengmian.
Chu Fengmian had previously purchased a large quantity of sacred medicines from the Moon Sea Commerce, combined with those in Hai Changge’s Space Ring, and from the Linlang Dynasty, it was enough to refine several Small Immortal Pills.
Taking advantage of the remoteness and quietness of this trench, Chu Fengmian could fully refine the Small Immortal Pills.
With a wave of his hand, Chu Fengmian parted the sea water in the trench, gathering Space Power to form a special space.
Entering this space, Chu Fengmian’s mind stirred, and the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire burned into a Pill Furnace.
Now, Chu Fengmian’s control over the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire reached an effortless level.
Yet, the Small Immortal Pill, being such an ancient elixir, was his first time refining, not too difficult, but Chu Fengmian needed to be cautious.
He took out a batch of sacred medicines, slowly adding them, controlling the heat, beginning the refinement, transforming them into a medicinal liquid, gradually solidifying.
As the medicinal liquid took shape, about to form a pill, the pill shape suddenly shattered, and the liquid lost its potency.
The Solidifying Pill failed.
Chu Fengmian had refined many elixirs before, ones he made in his past life, but this was his first time with the Small Immortal Pill.
Though not an ancient-level holy pill, it wasn’t easy to refine.
Having failed once, Chu Fengmian maintained a straight face, proceeding with a second attempt, cautiously, learning from the last, successfully forming the pill.
Opening his palm, the Small Immortal Pill fell into Chu Fengmian’s hand.
Although the Small Immortal Pill isn’t exceedingly difficult to refine, Chu Fengmian succeeded on the second try.
Evaluating it, this Small Immortal Pill should have approximately 80% efficacy.
Though sufficient, it’s better to refine it to over 90% efficacy.
The success rate of Chu Fengmian’s breakthrough depends on this Small Immortal Pill as he attempts to enter the Half-step Heavenly Human Realm; failure isn’t an option.
If he fails, it would significantly affect his future cultivation path, hence he must handle it with care.
The third batch.
Chu Fengmian added another set of sacred medicines for refining the Small Immortal Pill, and once again the pill emerged from the fire.
This time, the refined Small Immortal Pill had reached 90% efficacy.
As Chu Fengmian grew more proficient, every Small Immortal Pill he refined had over 90% efficacy.
Sometimes, one batch of materials allowed Chu Fengmian to refine two Small Immortal Pills.
Thus, Chu Fengmian continued to refine one batch after another.
Half a day passed.
Chu Fengmian finally extinguished the Pill Furnace formed by the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire.
Altogether, he refined thirteen batches of Small Immortal Pills, with only the first batch failing, the rest were successful.
Now, Chu Fengmian had nineteen Small Immortal Pills in his palm.
He used all the materials for refining Small Immortal Pills, resulting in these nineteen pills.
One Small Immortal Pill is worth ten Immortal Stones.
Chu Fengmian’s total Immortal Stones amounted to around six hundred, and together with these Small Immortal Pills, they equaled approximately eight hundred Immortal Stones.
The thousand Immortal Stone target is near.
With a thousand Immortal Stones, Chu Fengmian would have a chance to break through to the Half-step Heavenly Human Realm.
Only two hundred Immortal Stones short, yet acquiring them now is challenging.
