The cultivators discuss the richness of the Void Realm and their desire to reach Mahayana. They resolve to obtain identity tokens to navigate the realm more effectively. Meanwhile, Lu Youyou resides in a magnificent palace within the Primordial Secret Realm, a holy land for alchemy, where a powerful pill furnace is described in detail.

"Not bad, not bad, I finally managed to successfully refine a batch of Tier Seven Elixir again."

"I didn’t expect that after advancing to Integration, my Alchemy Cultivation would still progress so rapidly."

Lu Youyou sat cross-legged in front of the Pill Furnace, a satisfied expression on her face.

The powerful aura emanating from her was astounding; her cultivation level had already reached late-stage Integration.

Compared to before, her cultivation had improved immeasurably.

"Haha, if not for the Primordial Talisman Sect ruling the entire Void Realm, seizing all the Cultivation Resources of the Great Thousand Worlds."

"And you received two successive Heavenly gifts, enabling your cultivation to break through continuously."

"Otherwise, how could you have advanced to late-stage Integration so quickly?"

"If following the normal path of cultivation, it would take over ten thousand years to reach such a level."

Cloud Fairy said with irritation.

She felt that her disciple’s luck was indeed extremely defying.

For ordinary cultivators, even in the Void Realm of Ancient Era, obtaining a single Heavenly gift was an impossibility; such a privilege was reserved only for the Child of Destiny.

But her disciple, simply because she found a good man, received two Heavenly gifts in succession, saving ten thousand years of arduous cultivation.

She couldn’t help but feel somewhat envious and jealous; her luck was truly too good.

Moreover, such things were impossible to replicate.

"Haha, Master, luck is also a form of strength."

"Isn’t this the principle you taught me before?"

Lu Youyou said proudly.

She glanced around her Pill Furnace, where dozens of cold jade-crafted medicine racks were placed, neatly arranged with various Rare Spirit Medicines, each encased in a Spirit Jade Box, the box engraved with corresponding runes to prevent the leakage of Spiritual Qi.

Among them was the "Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass," which blooms once in a thousand years and bears fruit in ten thousand years. Its leaves glimmer with a glassy sheen, and faint soul energy lingers between the blades—it’s the core material for refining the Resurrection Pill. Then there’s the "Ice Soul Snow Lotus," growing in the extreme cold regions of the Void Realm; its petals are as crystal-clear as ice, with a drop of ice essence hidden within the stamens, able to neutralize the dry heat of pill fire and enhance the purity of the elixir;

Also, the fiery red "Flame Spirit Ginseng," with its tendrils burning with faint spirit flames—an excellent auxiliary material for refining Fire-Attribute Elixirs, each having over ten thousand years of cultivation.

Between the medicine racks, several potted Spirit Medicines were placed, among which was the "Condensing Qi Orchid." Its leaves were emerald green, while petals exhibited a pale purple hue, each blooming petal releasing a rich Spiritual Qi that intertwined with Pill Fragrance and rune aura, elevating the Spiritual Qi concentration of the entire main hall to terrifying levels, passively increasing cultivation without deliberate effort.

The wings of the main hall housed the Spirit Medicine Cultivation Room and the Secret Room of Elixir Recipes, respectively.

Within the Spirit Medicine Cultivation Room, a "Gathering Spirit Nourishing Array" was laid out, inscribed with intricate runes on the ground, embedded with Spirit Vein stones at the Array Hub. The room nurtures various Rare Spirit Medicines still growing, from Spirit Grass of a hundred years to Spirit Roots of ten thousand years—all resplendent with fresh medicinal fragrance that contrasts sharply yet harmoniously with the Pill Fragrance of the main hall.

The walls of the Secret Room of Elixir Recipes were carved with the life-long collected elixir recipes of the Grandmaster, ranging from Mortal Pills to Immortal Pills. Each recipe accompanied by corresponding rune annotations, and atop the central Jade Platform lay a Secret Manual of Alchemy Dao, its cover crafted from Spirit Beast Hide, engraved with the four big characters "Purple Mansion Elixir Scripture," surrounded by a faint Spiritual Barrier only the Grandmaster could open.​

The entire palace, whether the runes on the walls, the central Pill Furnace, or the Spirit Medicines on the racks, exuded a mysterious and majestic aura.

Runes flowed, safeguarding the palace and nourishing everything within; when the Pill Furnace operated, the Pill Fragrance pervaded the void, invoking the gathering of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi; Rare Spirit Medicines quietly emanated endless Spirit Charm, every detail reflecting the supreme status of the Integration Alchemy Grandmaster and harboring the infinite mysteries of Alchemy Dao.

Standing in this place felt like experiencing the focus and composure of Immortal alchemy, hearing the sizzle of pill fire refining Spirit Medicine, smelling the intoxicating Pill Fragrance, as if placed within the ultimate Secret Realm of Alchemy Dao.

Unquestionably, this was all her years of accumulation, the wealth she amassed over years as an Alchemy Grandmaster.

Across the numerous worlds of the Mortal World, even a Mahayana Cultivator wasn’t as rich as she was now.

If not for these abundant Cultivation Resources, her cultivation speed wouldn’t have been this fast.

"It’s undeniable; for cultivators, luck is indeed essential."

"Without luck, even a Celestial Spirit Root Cultivator might die during the Qi Refining Stage."

"With luck, even a mortal without Spirit Root might soar to become an Immortal."

Cloud Fairy said with feeling.

In her journey, she had encountered countless talents and numerous Great Powers of the Immortal Realm.

Yet, without exception, these individuals were favored by fortune.

Therefore, the success of these cultivators couldn’t be replicated and held no reference value.

"But the most unbelievable thing is your husband; he actually managed to kill the Tree of Eternal Life."

"Originally, I thought we would need to pay a more grievous price to resolve the Void Realm crisis."

"Who would have thought it was resolved quietly, just like that."

"You must know, in Ancient Times, many Mahayana Cultivators joined efforts and suffered heavy losses, only managing to severely wound it."

Cloud Fairy felt immensely shocked.

To be honest, Jiang Fan’s actions had exceeded her imagination.

She once was an Immortal, had witnessed countless things, naturally aware of how terrifying the Tree of Eternal Life truly was.

Even she didn’t know how to solve the Tree of Eternal Life.

Yet, Jiang Fan resolved it quietly; few would believe such a feat.

"According to my husband, he merely stood on the shoulders of giants."

"If not for the predecessors of the Void Realm in the past, who charged forward and severely injured the Tree of Eternal Life."

"He wouldn’t be able to solve the Tree of Eternal Life so easily today."

Lu Youyou said.

"Hehe, that’s merely his humble words."

"If relying on sacrifice could solve the Tree of Eternal Life, the Void Realm of the past wouldn’t have suffered so tragically."

"The reason he achieved this must be because he obtained the Immortal King Technique."

"Only Immortal Artifacts of such caliber can extinguish the Tree of Eternal Life."

"Because the Tree of Eternal Life, as well as those monsters, possess the terrifying trait of immortality."

"If not killed instantly, they will continually regenerate."

"The problem is, using the methods of Mortal Cultivators, how could it be possible to kill them?"

"Thus, for Mortal Cultivators, it’s practically an unsolvable dilemma."

"His luck was incredibly good; he happened to acquire the Immortal Artifact that countered the Tree of Eternal Life."

"Can only say, befitting the Child of Destiny."

Cloud Fairy said ruefully.

What ordinary cultivators found difficult to achieve, that boy resolved effortlessly.

Nonetheless, this was a good thing.

Better than paying an extremely heavy price and solving nothing.

"But Master, you said even though the Tree of Eternal Life has died, the calamity hasn’t ended."

"It’s only just begun; what does this mean?"

Lu Youyou curiously asked.

She initially thought the calamity threatening the Void Realm had been resolved; henceforth, it should be completely safe.

But according to her Master, this was merely the beginning of the calamity.

Solving the Tree of Eternal Life instead brought an even more dreadful calamity.

If slightly careless, the entire Void Realm could perish completely, and nothing could stop it.

"It’s exactly as the words say."

"Do you know who the mastermind behind the Tree of Eternal Life is? They’re giants from the Immortal Realm."

"The so-called Tree of Eternal Life is merely a pawn in their hands."

"Eliminating it instead angers those Immortal Realm giants."

"Your husband likely realized this; thus, he continues hiding in the Ice Prison of the Spirit Ruins Realm, isolating his karma, fearing being tracked by enemies."

"I must say, your husband likely knows more information than imagined; he even knows to hide in the Ice Prison for refuge, curious about how much he truly knows."

Cloud Fairy’s eyes flickered; she was immensely curious about the information Jiang Fan possessed.
