Myth Beyond Heaven



Yun Lintian closed his eyes, adjusting his state of mind. Refining the Divine Sovereign rank pill would cost a lot of mental power and take a long time. 

Normally, it was almost impossible for a practitioner in the Divine Spirit Realm to refine such a high-rank pill, but Yun Lintian was different. He had the Dragon God's Soul and four divine beast bloodlines, enough to reach the Divine Sovereign level in terms of mental strength.

When Yun Lintian opened his eyes, his aura gradually shrouded the entire cauldron and stove. At the same time, the flame instantly bursts up, increasing the room's temperature several degrees.

Instead of throwing all the ingredients into the cauldron like usual, Yun Lintian only took two out of ten ingredients and put them in. Afterward, he quickly shook the cauldron back and forth, making the ingredients inside roll along the cauldron's wall.

Soon, black smoke gradually permeated the air. This was a sign of the impurity in the ingredients being expelled.

Yun Lintian added the ingredients to the cauldron in two batches, slapping it between each addition and repeating the process.

"His fire control and the refining technique are indeed strange." Zhi Dazun said with a thoughtful expression.

"His mental power is oddly strong." Sun Shi said solemnly. Although Yun Lintian didn't show much of his strength, the way he got everything in control effortlessly explained it all. His mental power was obviously far stronger than hers, whose two realms were higher than his. And it must be several times more.

The process lasted for a full ten minutes. Yun Lintian didn't take a rest and poured all the refined ingredients into the cauldron at once before mixing them up.

Boom!

The flame in the stove instantly rose to the ceiling, engulfing both Yun Lintian and the cauldron entirely. 

The red tiles around the room were also glowing red, emitting a terrifying heat. At this moment, the entire room was like an erupting volcano that had no way to vent.

Qin Mei quickly created a profound barrier to protect Ning Yue while looking at Yun Lintian in surprise. The flame was obviously not ordinary, yet it couldn't harm Yun Lintian in the slightest. It was as if he was lying in a pool of water instead of a scorching flame.

"Look carefully," Yun Lintian suddenly said. "When you refine the Thousand Calamities Pill, a common problem where the ingredients can't mix together well is unavoidable. Ten out of ten will face this."

"The easiest way to solve this problem is to raise the flame's temperature to the highest degrees possible, melting all the ingredients into liquid form and mixing them up. This is why we need a good cauldron and suitable environment."

As he spoke, Yun Lintian slapped the cauldron and injected his divine energy into it.

Scree—

Instantly, a phoenix flame burst out of the cauldron before rushing back into the cauldron, melting all the ingredients inside.

After seeing ten pools of multi-colored liquid inside, Yun Lintian grabbed the cauldron with both hands and shook it rhythmically without resting. This process lasted for a full hour before all the fluids became one.

"No wonder. It's very difficult to refine." Sun Shi muttered to herself. 

As Zhi Dazun's disciple, she had witnessed many people attempting to refine the Thousand Calamities Pill, but none of them could succeed. It was until she saw how Yun Lintian made it did she realized why those people failed miserably.

"It's a tenacious job." Qin Mei said with a hint of solemness. "I don't think anyone can shake the cauldron this long as he did."

Not only did you need a solid mental power, but also a strong physique. It was understandable why others failed to refine this pill in the past.

Meanwhile, Ning Yue's gaze always fixated on Yun Lintian's movement as if she didn't want to miss a single detail.

Seeing the liquids all mixed together, Yun Lintian put the cauldron down and said. "This is the most crucial part. We cannot use any protective formations to block the pill tribulation. Otherwise, it will be wasted directly."

As his voice fell, the sky above the building turned dark in seconds. Black clouds gathered, and thunder roarings could be heard. 

Yun Lintian took a deep breath and slapped the cauldron left and right, causing the liquid inside to form a pill. 

Rumble—

In that instant, a thick thunderbolt abruptly struck down from the sky, penetrating the rooftop and landing on the cauldron. The impact immediately blasted Qin Mei and the others a few meters away. 

"This…" Sun Shi was shocked. Judging from the tribulation's might, she didn't think Yun Lintian could withstand it.

However, everyone could see clearly that Yun Lintian was safe and sound. He didn't suffer any wounds except for the dirt on his robe.

Qin Mei's eyes narrowed slightly when she saw this scene. Without a doubt, Yun Lintian's affinity with the lightning element was insanely high. It was definitely the highest one she had ever seen.

Yun Lintian continued to shake the cauldron while guiding the tribulation's energy into the pill.

Boom! Boom! Boom! 

The thunderbolts continued to strike down on the cauldron one after the other, to the point the entire top floor was gone. This commotion immediately alarmed everyone in the city.

At this moment, inside a majestic palace, a middle-aged man in a plain gray robe looked at the dark sky with thunders constantly flashing. His expression was calm and composed while counting on his fingers, seemingly calculating something.

A moment later, he said to himself. "Great fortune and calamity. Yin and Yang coexist peacefully… This person is not something I can mess with. It seems I need to contact Master."

At this moment, a dignified middle-aged man clad in a golden robe walked into the hall and said. "What is going on, Senior Brother Zhao?"

The man in the gray robe, Zhao Shuimu, turned around and said calmly. "It's a pill tribulation. There's nothing to worry about, Your Majesty."

The golden-robed man, Zhou Xun, nodded slightly and said. "I heard the great elder of the Divine Alchemy Association arrived here yesterday. It said to have something with the newly appointed vice-president." 

Zhao Shuimu could see through Zhou Xun's thoughts. He smiled and said. "There will be an opportunity soon."

Zhou Xun was relieved inwardly. "That's good."
