Undying Life

Chapter 587: Nie Fancheng's Ruthless Seizure

"After a person dies, within seven days, if they consume this Resurrection Pill, the soul drawn to the underworld can be pulled back to the body, and the soul dispersed into the world will reunite with the body, allowing the person to return to life!" Bao'er said confidently.

Return to life? Return to life?

Upon hearing Bao'er's words, all the alchemists were shocked to the extreme. This was too exaggerated, wasn't it? Does that mean even the dead can be revived?

Xu Fu's 'Star Pill' was an artifact pill, an artifact pill that none of the alchemists had encountered before, so they naturally did not know its effects. However, just hearing the name Resurrection Pill, they understood its profound mysteries.

Resurrection, returning to life! This was beyond miraculous; it defied the heavens. Could the soul scattered in the world return to life? Could the ghost that entered the underworld return to life?

Everyone held their breath, staring at the pill in Bao'er's hand, each one so excited that they could hear their own heartbeat.

The Divine Pill of Leaving Death, the world's greatest elixir, could only save the living, healing the injuries of the living. How could it compare to this Resurrection Pill, which could even call back the souls of the dead?

After the initial shock, the first thought that came to everyone's mind was, 'Is it real?'. Eyes were fixed intently on the Resurrection Pill in Bao'er's hand.

Immortal Pill, no one had ever seen one. Resurrection Pill, no one knew about it. Was Bao'er telling the truth? Or was it a ruse? After all, the effects were too exaggerated.

Return to life?

Xu Fu stared at Bao'er. Here, only he had the qualification to contend with Bao'er for the ownership of the Eternal Sacred Platform.

The others were certainly excluded. Even the Alchemy Sage who created the world's greatest elixir no longer had the qualification. No matter how powerful the Divine Pill of Leaving Death was, it was still a mortal pill, whereas the two pills created above were Immortal Pills!

Which one was superior?

Ling'er, holding the 'barely alive' Vermilion Bird, immediately jumped off the Eternal Sacred Platform and ran to Zhong Shan.

At the moment she descended, the Vermilion Bird suddenly transformed into a red light, darting into Ling'er's body. Ling'er was startled.

"What happened?" Zhong Shan asked.

"Little Red has eaten all its food. I was about to ask you for more, but it was too weak and burrowed back into my body," Ling'er said, a bit frustrated.

"Never mind, it worked hard this time. Next time, give it more to eat!" Zhong Shan smiled.

"Mm!"

On the Eternal Sacred Platform, Xu Fu stared at the Resurrection Pill in Bao'er's hand, his brow furrowed. Suddenly, Xu Fu's pupils contracted, and he abruptly looked up at the sky.

Xu Fu's sudden expression immediately drew everyone's attention, and they all looked up at the sky together.

High in the sky, two figures stood out of nowhere.

One was the Holy Emperor of the Great Li Empire, clad in a dragon robe. The other was dressed as a eunuch.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"

Everyone from the Great Li Empire simultaneously bowed in unison.

The Emperor? The alchemists were slightly stunned. The Holy Emperor of the Great Li Empire, Nie Fancheng?

"Greetings to the Holy Emperor of the Great Li Empire!" Almost everyone saluted together.

Why had the Holy Emperor come here? What was his purpose? Nie Fancheng, although observing from a distance, had only just arrived. He knew an Immortal Pill had been created but did not know which Immortal Pill it was.

Thus, when Nie Fancheng saw the Star Pill beside Xu Fu and the Resurrection Pill in Bao'er's hand, he slightly furrowed his brow.

"It truly is an Immortal Pill. It seems the legends are true!" Nie Fancheng sighed softly.

From the appearance of the two Immortal Pills, one could see the difference from ordinary pills. Immortal Pills were truly extraordinary.

"I wonder why His Majesty, the Emperor of Great Li, has graced the Ten Thousand Pills Conference with his presence?" asked the Alchemy Sage Lan Longhu as he stepped forward.

"Lan Longhu? You are no longer the Alchemy Sage, are you?" Nie Fancheng said indifferently.

"Of course not. It is either Daoist Xu or Daoist Gan. Both have refined Immortal Pills, and since it is unclear who is superior, the next step is for the other alchemists to judge their merits and determine the new Alchemy Sage!" Lan Longhu replied, neither humble nor arrogant.

Nie Fancheng nodded and looked at Bao'er and Xu Fu on the Eternal Sacred Platform. Beside them were Zhihuo and Bai Ye.

"I want this Eternal Sacred Platform," Nie Fancheng suddenly declared.

A loud uproar erupted at the Ten Thousand Pills Conference. The Eternal Sacred Platform? Only the Alchemy Sage had the right to its custody. No power had ever dared to seize it by force, as this was a consensus overseen by all heavenly courts and holy lands. Nie Fancheng wanted to seize it by force? And he had come in person?

"On what grounds?" Tian Ling'er suddenly shouted.

Tian Ling'er was furious. Sister Bao'er had refined two Immortal Pills, so she had surely won. The Eternal Sacred Platform should belong to them, and they could take it back to Tianlang Island. How could he try to seize it? Moreover, her Vermilion Bird had worked tirelessly for a long time, and she felt sorry for it. After all their efforts, this "robber" wanted to take it?

"Ling'er!" Nie Fancheng frowned.

"We worked hard for months with Sister Bao'er to win this. Why should we give it to you just because you want it?" Ling'er pouted, ignoring him.

Everyone was astonished by Ling'er's tone, as if the Eternal Sacred Platform was already theirs. But Nie Fancheng's domineering intent to seize it only made them more displeased.

Bao'er stepped down, bringing Zhihuo with her, and returned to Zhong Shan's side.

Xu Fu looked at Nie Fancheng with a strange smile, showing no anger.

Nie Fancheng glanced at Xu Fu and suddenly asked, "Who are you?"

"An alchemist of Great Qin, Xu Fu!" Xu Fu replied solemnly.

"Xu Fu? Great Qin? Do you intend to stop me?" Nie Fancheng asked.

Nie Fancheng's tone was very peculiar, as if placing Xu Fu on an equal footing with himself.

Everyone thought Nie Fancheng was being polite because Xu Fu represented the Great Qin Heavenly Court. But Zhong Shan knew that a heavenly emperor would not lower himself because of a foreign envoy, especially when they had only just met.

This could only mean that Xu Fu himself had the qualifications to be taken seriously by Nie Fancheng.

"Haha, Emperor of Great Li, are you intending to break the agreement among the heavenly courts and holy lands?" Xu Fu said calmly.

"The agreement of the world, I naturally remember. I will not violate my own words. Do you know what this is?" Nie Fancheng said patiently.

Then, three items suddenly appeared in front of Nie Fancheng.

A purple-gold gourd, a small vase that seemed carved from white jade, and a plantain fan.

"The Purple Gold Gourd? The White Jade Purity Vase? The Five Fires Seven Birds Fan?" Xu Fu exclaimed.

Nie Fancheng was not afraid that Xu Fu would take them. With a flick of his hand, the three treasures fell in front of Xu Fu. Not far away, Bao'er's expression changed repeatedly.

Xu Fu quickly examined them.

"They truly are the Purple Gold Gourd, the White Jade Purity Vase, and the Five Fires Seven Birds Fan!" Xu Fu said with a deep breath and a strange expression.

"That's right. According to the agreement of the world, no holy land or heavenly court may forcibly take the Eternal Sacred Platform. The Eternal Sacred Platform belongs to the Eternal Alchemy Sect. Whoever possesses the treasures of the Eternal Alchemy Sect may claim the platform for a thousand years and then leave the treasures for the next Alchemy Sage. Now, these three treasures are indeed the former treasures of the Eternal Alchemy Sect. Do you think I should take the Eternal Sacred Platform?" Nie Fancheng said with a hint of pride.

Xu Fu's expression turned peculiar as he looked at Nie Fancheng, as if he had something to say but was holding it back.

The Eternal Sacred Platform belonged to the Eternal Alchemy Sect?

Xu Fu turned to Bao'er. Did this mean that Bao'er, as the master of the Eternal Alchemy Sect, had a say?

Xu Fu looked at Bao'er, who frowned. She seemed hesitant to acknowledge her identity as the sect master, as if she had some reservations.

Zhong Shan squeezed Bao'er's hand and said, "I want the Eternal Sacred Platform."

"I want it?" Zhong Shan's words dispelled Bao'er's hesitation. If the master wanted it, then they had to fight for it, even if it meant revealing her identity as the master of the Eternal Alchemy Sect.

Zhong Shan wanted it because he had seen the fusion of fortune and merit on the Eternal Sacred Platform, a miraculous combination he was unwilling to relinquish.

Bao'er stepped forward, about to say something.

"What's the matter, Xu Fu? Do you have any objections?" Nie Fancheng asked indifferently.

Xu Fu was about to speak when suddenly, in the sky where Nie Fancheng and the old eunuch were, two figures appeared.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two colossal explosions erupted around Nie Fancheng, causing a tremendous shockwave. The tsunami-like force of the shockwave severely injured many of the weaker cultivators below.

"Ah!"

Countless people spat blood from the force of the shockwave.

The powerful shockwave radiated downward, destroying all the buildings below. The ground shook violently, throwing up large chunks of rock. Even the Eternal Sacred Platform was lifted from the ground.

"Bastard!"

From the center of the powerful shockwave came the faint sound of Nie Fancheng's angry roar.

Someone was ambushing Nie Fancheng?

The moment the powerful shockwave occurred, Zhong Shan sensed danger. He quickly grabbed Bao'er and Ling'er and retreated to a safe distance, followed closely by others who formed a protective circle around him.

An ambush? Someone was ambushing Nie Fancheng? Nie Fancheng wasn't just a Heavenly Realm cultivator; the old eunuch by his side was also a powerful Heavenly Realm expert. Two people? Who? Which force dared to ambush Nie Fancheng?

The ripples in the sky caused by the spatial shockwave distorted the view above.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, from the western part of Blue Flame City, the cawing of crows could be heard. Blinding lights appeared in the west, like ten massive suns rising into the sky.

Ten Golden Crows emerging simultaneously? Ten Golden Crows? The Taishou Heavenly Court?

Zhong Shan looked up sharply. The ripples in the sky had smoothed out, revealing the scene above.

It wasn't just two figures; a large group of people had appeared, surrounding Nie Fancheng. The old eunuch by Nie Fancheng's side had vanished without a trace.
