BXBX NOVEL Chapter 243 - 242 Female Deities i
Li Chengzheng was about to settle his rewards and had an enlightenment about the Rule of Fire, but Gu Sanqiu’s voice rang out from outside the secret chamber.
“Junior brother, come out quickly, we’ve gathered all the materials!”
His tone was heavy with joy.
Having collected materials for twelve batches, he didn’t expect each batch to be successfully refined; just one successful refinement would suffice!
Left with no choice, Li Cheng faced Gu Sanqiu’s impatience and had to postpone the reward settlement.
Stepping out of the secret chamber, Gu Sanqiu immediately grabbed Li Cheng’s arm, “Hurry, let’s go to the Pill League for alchemy!”
Without further ado, Gu Sanqiu, pulling Li Cheng, was about to use the Immortal Spirit Step to leave.
“Wait a moment, Brother Gu!”
Li Cheng urgently spoke up and with a gesture, summoned Billion and Bai Xian to his side.
Gu Sanqiu looked puzzled, but too impatient to talk, he enveloped the group with Immortal Yuan and performed the Immortal Spirit Step away.
Moments later, they arrived at the Pill League, “Quick, let’s go to the Pill Immortal Tower to refine!”
“Guest Li, should Billion and I leave while you refine the pills?” Bai Xian asked.
“Leave? No time for that—quick!” Gu Sanqiu interjected, still enveloping the group with Immortal Yuan, heading straight for the Pill Immortal Tower.
Bai Xian and Billion exchanged glances, feeling enlightened. They would have never guessed that the Alliance Hierarch of the Pill League had such an impatient nature.
On the eighth floor of the Pill Immortal Tower, Gu Sanqiu cleared the area of all people and then turned to Li Cheng expectantly, “Where is the Divine Corpse? Let’s start taking it out!”
The Divine Corpse was still suppressing something within the Fire Mysterious Realm!
Li Cheng took out the Fire Mysterious Realm, “Brother Gu, follow me inside to retrieve it.”
“Alright!”
With a thought, Li Cheng entered the Fire Mysterious Realm with Gu Sanqiu.
Now, the Fire Mysterious Realm seemed boundless, with flames burning as far as the eye could see.
Gu Sanqiu was startled and his eyes widened, “What Secret Land is this? Such a dense concentration of the Rule of Fire… could this be the Divine World of Deities?”
“Brother Gu has good insight, follow me!”
Li Cheng took the lead and flew off, finally no longer dragged by Gu Sanqiu.
Gu Sanqiu quickly followed, “Is this really the Divine World of Deities? Moreover, a Fire series deity?”
Li Cheng nodded, “It is likely left by the ancestors of the Fire Elf Tribe. This place is suppressing two arms.”
“Have deities been born in this era? To use a Divine World to suppress two arms; the owner of these arms is undoubtedly a deity, and a powerful one at that. Now I’m getting worried,” murmured Gu Sanqiu.
“Worried about what?”
“Worried we won’t be able to take the Divine Corpse. That’s a deity’s body part, even if it’s just arms, they must be emanating power beyond our imagination; whether we can even approach them is unknown,” explained Gu Sanqiu.
Li Cheng smiled, understanding that Gu Sanqiu’s worries were valid but unnecessary, for he had refined this Divine World and could borrow its power to retrieve the arms!
Soon enough, the two arrived at a mountain range enveloped in flames.
This mountain range spanned ten thousand miles; from high above, it seemed like a giant hand severed at the shoulder!
Even from a great distance, they were overwhelmed by a terrifying pressure that soared to the heavens, making it impossible to approach within ten thousand miles of the range.
Gu Sanqiu’s eyes widened, “This hand has even transformed into a mountain range, which indicates it’s been suppressed for a very long time, possibly tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years. After such a lengthy suppression, it can still emit such terrifying a presence?”
He was on the very brink of God Realm, only one step away from the legendary Divine World, yet before this vast hand, he felt as if there was the distance between mortals and immortals, how could he not be shocked?
“I believe this God’s Right Hand must originate from a powerhouse among the deities, not merely an ordinary one, otherwise, it wouldn’t be so terrifying,” Gu Sanqiu said with difficulty, swallowing his saliva.
“That’s unclear. What I’m wondering now is even if we manage to acquire this God’s Right Hand, with my Immortal Fire, it’s certain that I can’t refine it. Perhaps I can only extract a few drops of Divine Blood to use in crafting pills, but in doing so, the effects would be significantly weaker,” said Li Cheng.
Gu Sanqiu, however, offered a bitter smile, “Even a few drops is wishful thinking; I suspect we don’t have the capability to extract the Divine Blood from the arm. Otherwise, even one drop would suffice to craft that Divine Pill.”
Li Cheng smiled, reached out towards the mountain range with a press of his hand, and suddenly, it was as if the whole world was being drawn in, with a formidable force squeezing towards the mountain range.
Boom!
The next moment, the mountain range shattered, the earth collapsed, revealing a hand as flawless as white jade.
“A female deity…” Gu Sanqiu murmured in awe.
The entire arm was pure and flawless; no matter how many eons had passed, the skin on this arm still looked as if it could be punctured with a gentle blow.
After observing from ten thousand miles away for a moment, Li Cheng suddenly said, “The lifespan of a deity is only around 1.3 billion years? They don’t have eternal life?”
Li Cheng had his doubts; if they didn’t possess immortality, how could a section of the corpse, suppressed for countless eons, seem as if it were still alive?
There’s definitely no immortality; think about it, our Kunlun Realm has gone through countless eras, and the deities that have been born must be as numerous as strands of hair, yet why is there not a single one today? Without question, even deities cannot achieve eternal life,” Gu Sanqiu said confidently.
Li Cheng said no more and continued to use the power of the Divine World to squeeze towards the broken end of the limb, and after a moment, finally squeezed out a pool of fresh blood!
Gu Sanqiu was endlessly amazed; how could he not see that Li Cheng had taken control of the Divine World!
The blood was golden, with faint rainbow lights shimmering within, exuding an aura not quite as astonishing as the whole arm but nevertheless oppressively powerful.
“Probably about twenty drops, that’s enough, enough,” Gu Sanqiu quickly said.
He truly didn’t dare let Li Cheng extract more because the oppressive feeling from those twenty drops of Divine Blood was too intense!
If there was any more blood, he suspected he would vomit blood from the pressure.
That would be far too embarrassing, so he had to call for a stop.
Li Cheng nodded, took Gu Sanqiu, and left the Fire Mysterious Realm.
“Li Cheng, the situation might be a bit serious. Earlier when you were extracting the Divine Blood, I distinctly sensed that the limb contained Spiritual Wisdom; it’s very likely that the section of the God’s Right Hand has developed Spiritual Wisdom!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s voice transmission came through.
A blade of grass or a tree could potentially develop Spiritual Wisdom; what more for God’s Right Hand that was so powerful?
Therefore, Li Cheng was not surprised.
“No rush, we’ll investigate after the alchemy,” Li Cheng replied.
Gu Sanqiu took deep breaths, then looked at Bai Xian and Billion, saying, “I think it’s better for the two of you to go below first. It’s going to be very dangerous here soon!”
Previously, Gu Sanqiu hadn’t anticipated that even just Divine Blood could radiate such formidable might, so he had invited the two along.
But knowing the terror of the Divine Blood now, he naturally dared not let them stay here; otherwise, the very instant the Divine Blood was extracted, it might just kill them both with its shockwave.
Li Cheng nodded to the two, and they promptly retreated to the lower level.
Gu Sanqiu composed himself and handed over twelve Immortal Elixirs to Li Cheng, “Start the Formation here before you begin crafting; otherwise, I am afraid a serious problem might happen!”
Li Cheng nodded, as without reaching the Immortal Emperor Realm, it would be very difficult to stand firm within a thousand miles of the Divine Blood, even if it was just a drop.
In a few breaths’ time, the eighth floor was enveloped by layers of Formation.
Gu Sanqiu took a deep breath, “With the Divine Blood as the monarch medicine and many Immortal Elixirs as the minister, assistant, and envoy medications, if this succeeds, it’s definitely going to be a Divine Pill. I wonder if there will be a Pill Tribulation? Will it trigger some changes in the Order of Heaven and Earth?”
