“Hm?”

“Am… Am I dreaming? Master Duan is done heating his cauldron?”

“This is ridiculous! It’s only been half an hour, and he’s done?”

“Impossible! It’s impossible!”

“That’s right! It’s impossible! Master He from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect is a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist with a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Fire, but he’s not even done heating his prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron! How’s it possible for Duan Ling Tian to be faster than him?!”

“Duan Ling Tian must be cheating. He must not have completed heating his cauldron!”

“How could that be? If the cauldron is not completely heated, it’d be impossible to refine the Overarching Heaven PIlls!”

“The two prominent Celestial Pill Cauldrons are not preheated… Before they began heating the cauldrons, I investigated them with my Divine Consciousness. Therefore, it’s wrong to say that Duan Ling Tian had secretly preheated his cauldron.”

The crowd was in shock and disbelief when they saw Duan Ling Tian was done with heating the cauldron at such a speed. They broke into an uproar as they discussed fervently among themselves. Some of them were not convinced that Duan Ling Tian was done heating his cauldron and thought that perhaps, he was cheating.

Bai Wu Ji, the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, sneered. ‘I’d love to see how you’re going to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill after pretending to have completely heated the cauldron!’

The members from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect looked at Duan Ling Tian and jeered as well.

Meanwhile, Lyu Luo asked, “Third Senior Sister… Isn’t… isn’t he acting rather recklessly?” In the beginning, she was rather confident about Duan Ling Tian since Murong Bing, her senior sister, seemed to believe in him. However, when she saw Duan Ling Tian had stopped heating his cauldron after a short time and claimed that he was done, she was rendered speechless and was appalled by his actions. Similar to many others, she thought he was cheating or lying.

Murong Bing did not respond to Lyu Luo’s question, opting to stay silent. Although she believed in Duan Ling Tian, it did seem rather impossible for him to be finished with heating the cauldron in just half an hour. Moreover, he was heating a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron; it was not any ordinary cauldrons.

At the same time, a frown could be seen on Zhou Shu Qiu’s face as she looked at Duan Ling Tian. She was confused and worried about him at the same time. ‘What… What’s going on in his mind? Doesn’t he know it’s useless to pretend?’

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Duan Ling Tian proceeded to the next step of pill refining without giving much thought to the commotion in his surroundings.

The majority of the people present on the scene were certain there was no way Duan Ling Tian would be able to successfully refine the Overarching Heaven Pill since they assumed he had only pretended to be done with heating his cauldron. Only a few people remained hopeful; they were Huan’er and the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Situ Ming, Yang Chong, and Yu Zhong Jing.

Situ Ming, Yang Chong, and Yu Zhong Jing were conversing among themselves through Voice Transmission at this time.

“It’s been half an hour now… Master He, the supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, is still not done with heating his cauldron?”

“It’s been half an hour. He’s a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist, but he’s still not done. Isn’t he rather slow?”

“Did he deliberately slow down ?”

The three prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect were baffled. Did He Pei Yuan deliberately slow down? Duan Ling Tian was only a prominent Celestial Alchemist with a prominent Celestial Fire, but he was already done with heating his cauldron. And yet, the dignified and respected supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist who possessed a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Fire was still heating his cauldron!

Time continued to pass. When He Pei Yuan was finally done heating his cauldron, an hour had passed.

At this moment, it suddenly dawned on Situ Ming, Yang Chong, Yu Zhong Jing that this was their first time witnessing a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist heating a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron. Therefore, none of them knew how long it would take for He Pei Yuan to finish heating his cauldron. They had just assumed since He Pei Yuan was a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist, his speed would, naturally, be faster than Duan Ling Tian who was a prominent Celestial Alchemist. After all, He Pei Yuan possessed a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Fire that was a grade higher than Duan Ling Tian’s prominent Celestial Fire!

Situ Ming finally smiled. He sighed in relief before he said, “Perhaps, we’ve been wrong. Master Duan’s prominent Celestial Fire must be even more extraordinary than we thought.

“I agree… We thought his prominent Celestial Fire is only extraordinary among prominent Celestial Fires. However, it seems like even a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Fire is no match for his prominent Celestial Fire! This is truly unbelievable! If I didn’t see it for myself, I wouldn’t have believed it.”

Yu Zhong Jing who was usually taciturn chimed in as well, “Look at He Pei Yuan… He’s looking at Master Duan condescendingly even though Master Duan has already stated he has finished heating his cauldron half an hour ago. He must assume that Master Duan didn’t heat his cauldron properly and thinks that Master Duan will fail at refining the Overarching Heaven Pill!”

Situ Ming and Yang Chong instinctively looked at He Pei Yuan. Indeed, he was looking at Duan Ling Tian contemptuously. Just like most people, it was clear he did not think it was possible for Duan Ling Tian to be faster than a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist.

Meanwhile, He Pei Yuan contained his laughter and thought to himself smugly, ‘I’d love to see what you’re going to do when you fail to refine the Overarching Heaven Pills… There’s no doubt you’ll have to hand over the triple-trait Celestial Method you won from the Blissful Sect!’

The crowd watched in anticipation as He Pei Yuan began to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill. They gasped and erupted in excitement when He Pei Yuan began to collect his pills.

“Master He has begun to refine pills!”

“Now that’s the skills of a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist. Although that pretentious Master Duan claimed he was done heating the cauldron first, look at how Master He surpassed him! It’s almost time for Master He to collect his pills.”

“Refining the Overarching Heaven Pills is just a walk in the park for a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist like Master He. It’d be easy for him to refine ten pills, at least!”

The crowd watched in excitement as He Pei Yuan finally collected his pills.

“Eleven Overarching Heaven Pills!”

“Indeed, he’s worthy of being a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist! He easily refined eleven Overarching Heaven Pills!”

At this moment, Zhong Shang, a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist from the Alliance of Celestial Masters, who agreed to be a witness, loudly said, “Master He took an hour to heat the prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron…”

Upon hearing Zhong Shang’s words, everyone instinctively turned to look at Duan Ling Tian.

Although Duan Ling Tian was giving it his all to refine the pills, he was no match for He Pei Yuan’s speed in refining the pills. Only after a few hours had passed did he begin to approach the last step of the pill refinement process.

“Although Master Duan took longer to refine the pills, as long as he successfully refines the Overarching Heaven Pills, he’ll win the bet. It’ll prove that he really did heat his prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron in just half an hour.”

“If he fails in refining the pills, it’ll prove that he was lying about heating the cauldron in only half an hour!”

“Look! He’s refining the pills now. He’s prepared to collect it!”

“Refining the pills? Do you think he’ll succeed?”

“It’s impossible for him to succeed since he didn’t completely heat his cauldron.”

Many onlookers shook their heads when they looked at Duan Ling Tian. They did not think it was possible for Duan Ling Tian to successfully refine the Overarching Heaven Pill.

Meanwhile, Situ Ming, Yang Chong, and Yu Zhong Jing discussed among themselves.

“These people… Do they really think Master Duan will lose?”

“I’d love to see their reactions when Master Duan successfully refines the Overarching Heaven Pills!”

“In your opinion, how many Overarching Heaven pills do you think he’ll be able to refine since it doesn’t seem like he’s holding back this time?”

“I don’t know the exact number, but it’ll certainly be more than what He Pei Yuan refined!”

At this moment, the three prominent Celestial Alchemists’ eyes lit up when they saw Duan Ling Tian raising his hand. “Master Duan is ready to collect the pills!”

“How pretentious!” Meanwhile, Bai Wu Ji and the members of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect looked at Duan Ling Tian disdainfully. All of them were convinced Duan Ling Tian was only putting on an act. They began to imagine the embarrassment and humiliation Duan Ling Tian would have to suffer when he failed to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill.

Meanwhile, unlike Lyu Luo who seemed to be in low spirits, Murong Bing remained hopeful, praying for a miracle. ‘Is he really able to refine the Overarching Heaven Pills after heating the cauldron for only half an hour?’

Soon after…

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Thirteen streaks of light shot out of Duan Ling Tian’s cauldron into his hands. The lights were the Overarching Heaven Pills!

The onlookers were dumbstruck. They were shocked speechless. Naturally, a huge uproar broke out when they regained their senses.

“Th-thirteen Overarching Heaven Pills?!”

“Good heavens! He… He… H-he successfully refined the Overarching Heaven Pills?!

“How’s this possible?!”
