Chapter 294: Chapter 253: Sword Pill Formed, Anomaly Emerges!
"Clang!"
The molten iron clashed within the bronze furnace, producing a great sound, as if a golden Water Dragon was roaring in defiance.
But beneath the bronze furnace, the Cyan Flame was the most abundant Earth Core Cyan Flame from the Cyan Peak Daoist School’s Fire Vein. When fully activated, it had a trace of Tier Four Spirit Flame’s power, which was quite terrifying.
The golden molten iron, in its unwillingness, swiftly vaporized and melted. In a mere instant, it shrank by more than half.
Yet the remaining molten iron became even more dazzling and condensed, emanating a fierce Spiritual Light.
"Junior Brother, take out the Purple Sky Golden Thunder Bamboo now!"
Behind the bronze furnace, Master Xuan Guang suddenly spoke, his voice deep and resonant.
Just as Master Xuan Guang spoke, in the great hall, a glint of lightning flickered, and Gu Yuan’s figure appeared beside the bronze furnace.
Seeing the fiery scene in the hall, he did not hesitate and directly took out the flashing purple Gold Thunder Bamboo and threw it toward the bronze furnace.
"Dong!"
Master Xuan Guang cast a spell on the bronze furnace, and the golden lid on the furnace suddenly opened, with a great suction wrapping around the Purple Sky Golden Thunder Bamboo.
However, just as the bronze furnace was about to absorb the Purple Sky Golden Thunder Bamboo, Master Xuan Guang couldn’t help but remind him:
"Junior Brother, once the Sword Pill is forged, it cannot be stopped. Are you sure you have the confidence?"
Gu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, smiling, "Senior Brother, just do it!"
"Very well!"
Seeing Gu Yuan’s confident demeanor, Master Xuan Guang said no more. With a thought, the suction within the bronze furnace intensified, directly swallowing the Purple Sky Golden Thunder Bamboo.
"Boom!"
Not only that, under his control, the cyan flames beneath the furnace suddenly split, transforming into nine lifelike Flood Dragons, occupying specific positions, continuously spewing fire at the base of the furnace.
If the previous smelting of ore and molten iron was like a great blaze stir-fry, now it was akin to simmering over a low flame, using an exquisite temperature to gradually melt the Purple Sky Golden Thunder Bamboo.
The Thunder Bamboo turned into golden liquid, yet the purple Thunder Pattern on it was perfectly stripped away, resembling a natural purple formation diagram, shining brilliantly within the bronze furnace.
"Condense!"
The nine cyan Fire Flood Dragons, after an unknown period of spouting, Master Xuan Guang suddenly shouted, the cyan flames fiercely intensified, the nine dragons united, transforming into a single massive Fire Flood Dragon, relentlessly burning the golden bronze furnace.
"Clang!"
The sound of impact was heard once more.
Lightning flickered, and golden light surged in all directions.
After an unknown period of being refined, the Spirit Ore molten iron and Gold Thunder Bamboo liquid suddenly shrank and coagulated, spinning continuously within the bronze furnace.
"Rise!"
Master Xuan Guang gently called, and the golden lid lifted, as an object suddenly flew from the bronze furnace.
In an instant, light and shadow flowed, filling the hall with golden radiance.
A golden orb, the size of a dragon’s eye, floated and swayed within the great hall.
This orb, part liquid, part stone, constantly shifted between solid and ethereal forms, with countless flashes of lightning within, appearing to breathe as if filled with Spiritual Nature.
But this Spiritual Nature was firmly locked within the golden liquid, unable to escape.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
The Sword Pill trembled, as if it were drowning, emitting a mournful wail of Spiritual Nature.
"Junior Brother, make your move!"
Seeing this, Master Xuan Guang immediately called out.
"Whew!"
Gu Yuan took a deep breath, hesitated no longer, and opened his mouth to expel the Golden Core and Boundless Sword Seal.
"Hua!"
A golden flame suddenly arose from the flawless Golden Core.
Pill Fire!
This is a power mastered by every Golden Core Cultivator upon entering the Golden Core Realm.
A Tier Three Treasure, possessing extraordinary Spiritual Nature, transcendent and immortal, can only be refined with Pill Fire.
This Pill Fire, fueled by the Gold-Attribute Magical Power within the Golden Core, is immensely powerful. A Foundation Establishment Cultivator would be reduced to ashes in an instant if burned by it.
Although Golden Core Cultivators experience a significant power vacuum immediately after their breakthrough, this only applies among cultivators of the same realm.
Once they break through to the Golden Core, their life experiences a massive leap forward, and they can effortlessly annihilate Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
In this moment, the Tier Two Boundless Sword Seal was melted by the Pill Fire in no time, turning the Dao Seal Sword Pattern painstakingly carved by Gu Yuan into a pool of golden liquid.
"Go!"
With a thought from Gu Yuan, the golden liquid formed by the Boundless Sword Seal flew abruptly, colliding with the Sword Pill suspended in the void.
"Zzz!"
A sizzling sound seemed to arise, and the golden liquid formed by the Boundless Sword Seal fused into the Sword Pill in an instant.
"Now is the time!"
As the golden liquid merged, a subtle connection immediately formed between Gu Yuan and the Sword Pill.
This step was to infuse the Sword Intent Heart Spirit that Gu Yuan had refined over the years into the Sword Pill, enabling him to initially control this treasure and engrave Sword Patterns.
Gu Yuan closed his eyes, and during this interval, all his thoughts and mind were poured into the Sword Pill.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
The Sword Pill trembled rapidly, continuously flickering with Spiritual Light, as the previously dormant Spiritual Nature suddenly came to life, wandering within the Sword Pill.
"Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!"
The buzzing sound gradually turned into a clinking sound, and a sharp aura surged from within the Sword Pill.
"Zeng!"
An extraordinary splendor, like a mysterious Dao Pattern formed by countless small swords, suddenly appeared on the Sword Pill.
"Boom!"
A crack appeared on the surface of an eggshell-like exterior, allowing fresh Spiritual Qi from the outside to pour into the Sword Pill.
The Sword Pill shook greatly, emitting a strong sense of joy, as if a being on the verge of drowning trapped inside an eggshell had found a continuation of life.
But this was far from enough.
A single crack was not enough to shatter the "eggshell."
"Zheng!"
Yet at this moment, another bright Sword Pattern shredded the "Sword Pill," rapidly absorbing the external Spiritual Qi within.
"Zheng!"
"Zheng!"
"Zheng!"
Initially, the rate at which Sword Patterns formed was quite slow, but as time passed, their formation speed increased dramatically.
Five!
Seven!
Eight!
Ten!
"Boom!"
With the condensation of ten Sword Patterns, the sound of the eggshell breaking emanated from the Sword Pill, and it erupted with dazzling light, as countless Spiritual Qi surged in, flooding into the Sword Pill.
Within the Sword Pill, the Spiritual Nature danced with joy, accompanied by brilliant golden light and lightning, illuminating the surroundings.
"Zheng!"
Yet within the Sword Pill, the Sword Patterns continued to coalesce.
Eleven!
Twelve!
Fourteen!
The Sword Pill trembled to its limit, seemingly unable to contain any more.
But at that moment, yet another Sword Pattern abruptly emerged.
Fifteenth Sword Pattern, brilliant and radiant, as if fifteen golden baby dragons were born from the Sword Pill, beginning to voraciously absorb the surrounding World’s Spiritual Qi.
"Rumble!"
Spiritual Qi, like a tidal wave, rushed in from all directions, madly pouring into Cyan Flame Peak.
From afar, the entire Cyan Flame Peak seemed to transform into a giant funnel, causing the turbulent Spiritual Qi to stir in all corners. The disciples within struggled even to stand, as the overwhelming Spiritual Qi blew them about unsteadily.
Some disciples, by coincidence, inhaled a few breaths of Spiritual Qi, immediately turning their cheeks rosy, feeling somewhat intoxicated.
Heaven and Earth Anomaly!
This signifies the birth of an upper-class treasure!
In an instant, countless gazes throughout the Daoist School converged on Cyan Flame Peak.
Master Xuan Guang looked at Gu Yuan, standing motionless with the golden Sword Pill hovering above his head, and couldn’t help but sigh quietly.
Fifteen years spent comprehending the sword, and to manifest such a terrifying sword aura, this talent is indeed remarkable.
He truly is the only Golden Core Cultivator in the Daoist School in four hundred years!
