Chapter 63 Heaven-Mending Pill
Xuan Gu, who was meditating here, saw Jin Kui and the other two appear and felt a surge of resentment in his heart. He hadn't expected them to actually enter the inner hall.
Han Li slowly woke up from his coma and looked at his Blood Jade Spider, which had been cut in half, with heartache.
Jin Kui looked at Wen Tianren and the other two and said calmly, "You two were hit by the Piercing Sun Sword at such a distance and were not cut in two. You two have the aura of one of my juniors on you. This sword was stabbed on his behalf. Regardless of whether their deaths are related to you, since you survived Elder Jia's attack, then this matter is over."
"As for you, well, you're just unlucky!"
The unlucky one was Wen Tianren, even though he had also come into contact with Jin Kui's descendant Jin Yan and even explored the remains of Tianjing Sanren together.
However, decades have passed, and that faint trace of life has long since dissipated.
He had truly suffered an undeserved calamity. Xuan Gu had killed Jin Kui's descendant, and Han Li was the master of the Blood Jade Spider. He hadn't done anything at all.
"Jin Kui! You've gone too far!"
Enraged, the bearded man threw a punch, and a giant golden hand, over ten feet in size, suddenly appeared in the air and grabbed down at Jin Kui and his companion without hesitation.
With a muffled "bang," a cyan light shield appeared, managing to withstand the golden hand's attack without shattering.
Jin Kui gave a strange smile to the ashen-faced righteous and demonic figures in the sky.
Then, with a faint laugh, Jin Kui and the black-robed elder vanished without a trace in a burst of milky white light, turning into specks of starlight, leaving only a pale golden talisman that floated down from the sky.
"Fellow Daoists, I, Jin, take my leave. If any of you harbor resentment, I, Jin, will be waiting for you at the Star Palace, hahaha!" Laughter echoed, lingering long afterward.
"The Star Palace's avatar! It really wasn't his true form that came here. He's really willing to spend the money! I didn't expect that Jin Kui would also use such cunning methods." The rage on the bearded man's face quickly subsided, and he muttered to himself with strange glints in his eyes.
Then he looked at the Blood Jade Spider, sighed, and realized that the Blood Jade Spider was beyond saving.
"What a magnificent constellation! What a brilliant golden star!"
Meanwhile, Ji Yin, Wan Tianming, and the others from both the righteous and demonic sides all had grim expressions, watching unwillingly as the golden talisman burned to ashes on its own after landing, leaving nothing behind.
Ji Yin and the others sighed one by one, extremely unwilling to accept that their efforts had been in vain.
In a secluded corner on the fifth floor of the inner hall, Jin Kui and the black-robed elder simultaneously opened their eyes in the darkness.
The elder in black armor opened his eyes and burst into hearty laughter: "Hahaha, as expected of the Grand Elder, you ruined their entire plan with just one move. Luckily, we came along this time, otherwise the Void Heaven Cauldron would have really fallen into their hands."
"It's best to leave the Void Heaven Cauldron here; that would be most beneficial to my Star Palace." Jin Kui slowly rose, extremely satisfied with his actions.
"When the Void Heaven Cauldron finally lands, it will most likely spit out something like the Heaven-Mending Pill. It's a pity they don't know the function of the Heaven-Mending Pill!" Jin Kui shook his head with a smile.
"Now that we've failed to seize the cauldron, the appearance of this Heaven-Mending Pill will surely cause these old monsters to fight tooth and nail. It seems that the rumors spread over the years have been quite effective."
The Heaven-Mending Pill harnesses the power of heaven and earth, possessing miraculous effects such as increasing lifespan and breaking through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage. Both the Twin Saints and the Six Paths broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage after consuming this pill. Hehehe, why don't they go ask the Twin Saints and the Six Paths if this is true? The black-robed elder thought about how the Barbarian Beard and the others would fight over the Heaven-Mending Pill later, only to find that it was useless to them, and he found it amusing.
"Hehe, they are all captivated by the legendary miraculous effects of the Heaven-Mending Pill. For us cultivators, even the smallest hope is still hope. If it weren't for the fact that the former Palace Master once took out a Heaven-Mending Pill, most of the Nascent Soul elders of my Star Palace would also be eyeing this Heaven-Mending Pill."
"Let's go! The show's over. Let's wait in the outer hall. They're really furious this time!" As soon as Jin Kui said this, the darkness fell silent, as if the two of them had never been there.
As Jin Kui had predicted, everything on the Hanli Terrace was exactly as he had expected. Manhuzi and the others were extremely annoyed, feeling very depressed and ashamed.
However, they were also cunning and shrewd, and quickly regained their composure. They knew that it was pointless to be angry at the Star Palace for causing trouble now, and the two sides remained locked in a standoff in the air.
Wen Tianren observed the situation in the arena and slowly approached Han Li, who was still recovering.
Ji Yin's hands moved constantly, his face grim, as he tried to cast spells on the remaining two fire pythons, still unwilling to give up on the Void Heaven Cauldron.
Qingyi, however, advised from the side, "Brother Wu, relying solely on this fire python won't suffice. Why are you doing this to yourself?"
Before the words were finished, the pair of extremely yin fire pythons finally couldn't hold on any longer. After letting out a mournful cry, they simultaneously released their mouths and fell into the cave, where they were instantly burned to ashes by the Qianlan Ice Flame.
The Void Cauldron, no longer pulled by the fire python, trembled violently and plummeted rapidly with a buzzing sound.
This scene caused the righteous and demonic figures to involuntarily look down, with Ji Yin's face turning cold and his eyes filled with resentment as he gazed at the scene.
Seeing that there was no hope of retrieving the cauldron, Wan Tianming said to Tian Wuzi and the other person, "Let's go!"
Just as the righteous group turned around, an unexpected event occurred!
As the Void Cauldron fell, it was stimulated by something, and suddenly the buzzing sound turned into a dragon's roar. Then a muffled thunderclap rang out, and a fist-sized ball of five-colored light burst out from the blue flames and soared into the sky.
"The Heaven-Mending Pill!" Almost simultaneously, people from both the righteous and demonic sides shouted out the name of the item, their voices filled with surprise and delight.
As soon as this object appeared, chaos erupted in the sky.
The group, who had already intended to give up, immediately transformed into several long streaks of light and flew straight towards the five-colored light cluster.
But halfway there, these streaks of light intertwined, preventing any of them from advancing. In an instant, light flashed and demonic energy swirled, the intensity far exceeding what it had been before!
The five-colored ball of light floated gently above the cave entrance, motionless, as if it were within easy reach.
Everyone could clearly see that a pill about an inch in size was slowly rotating in the center of the ball of light. With each rotation, the ball of light would contract and flicker, as if it had a life of its own, making the hearts of both the righteous and demonic people burn with even greater excitement.
"Get out of here, all of you!"
The bearded man was the first to attack, unleashing the full power of his Heavenly Demon Art, which accelerated his escape. At the same time, a layer of golden scales appeared on his body, making him look extremely terrifying. His body radiated golden light, causing Ji Yin and the others who were close to him to scatter in fear.
"You bearded man, what do you mean by this?" Ji Yin also increased his escape speed.
"Is that even a question? There's only one Heaven-Mending Pill, so it's all about who has the ability to make it."
Just as the bearded man was about to reach the Heaven-Mending Pill, Wan Tianming's flying sword slashed horizontally, forcing the bearded man back.
Meanwhile, Tianwuzi and Mutengzi also engaged in combat with Madam Wen and Jiyin.
Magical artifacts, spirit beasts, and puppets appeared in the sky, clashing together.
Faced with the temptation of the Heaven-Mending Pill, everyone used their best skills. Even the usually calm Madam Wen was constantly wielding her sword to fight, and no one was willing to give up the Heaven-Mending Pill to anyone else.
Wen Tianren and the others on the sidelines wisely refrained from participating, retreating to a corner in tacit agreement. Intervening in this level of melee would be tantamount to suicide.
Looking at the chaotic battle in the sky, Wen Tianren pondered for a moment, then transmitted his voice to Han Li, saying, "Fellow Daoist Han, it's rare to see such a battle between Nascent Soul cultivators. With the Heaven-Mending Pill now available, I don't know if our previous plans can proceed."
"However, is Fellow Daoist Han alright after Elder Xinggong's sword strike just now?"
Wen Tianren remembered that it was the wolf-headed jade ruyi and the imperial scale armor that had withstood the power of that sword. Now that Han Li had lost the jade ruyi, Wen Tianren didn't know if he was seriously injured.
Once these Nascent Soul cultivators leave, there will be another great battle.
Han Li's face was pale, but his foundation had not been damaged yet: "Brother Xiao, I'm fine for now, but judging from the current situation, let alone getting the treasure, we don't even know how we'll escape."
With Madam Wen protecting him, Wen Tianren would have no problem escaping. However, he was no longer of any value to Ji Yin and the others. If they didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to escape either.
