The Sword God of the Universe

Jing Yan took out all the materials needed to refine the Divine Dao Pill and sorted them beside the Qiankun Pill Furnace.

Even Senior Tianshui stood on one side watching.

The Divine Dao Pill was too important. Without it, it might take Jing Yan at least a year or two to advance from the Early Dao Spirit Realm to the Middle Dao Spirit Realm.

But with the aid of the Divine Dao Pill, in just a few days, Jing Yan could reach the Middle or even Late Dao Spirit Realm.

"Senior Tianshui, I'm starting the refining process," Jing Yan said to Tianshui.

"Mm! Don't feel pressured, just treat it as if you're refining a regular fourth-level elixir," Tianshui waved his hand.

Jing Yan nodded and then focused his attention on the materials and the Qiankun Pill Furnace. The Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill silently circulated, and Primordial Energy slowly surged out, entering the Qiankun Pill Furnace.

Then, Jing Yan began placing some auxiliary materials into the Qiankun Pill Furnace first.

After extracting the auxiliary materials, Jing Yan added the Divine Beast Essence Blood and, lastly, the most precious Dao Essence Fruit. Divine Beast Essence Blood could still be bought, but Dao Essence Fruits truly couldn't be bought with money. Perhaps not even in Pill Country there were Dao Essence Fruits available.

The entire process didn't take very long, just about two hours had passed, and all the materials were extracted and refined.

The next step was to form the elixir.

With Jing Yan's strength and the help of the Qiankun Pill Path, forming the elixir was a foolproof step.

The critical fourth step, however, which was also the last, was to stabilize the elixir, and that proved to be more difficult. The first time Jing Yan refined a fourth-level elixir, it failed during stabilization. The elixir formed successfully, but when it was taken out, its efficacy uncontrollably dissipated in the space.

At the final step, Jing Yan took a deep breath, fully concentrating on feeling the fusion of efficacy and Primordial Energy inside the Qiankun Pill Furnace.

Time slowly slipped away.

Another thirty minutes passed!

"Whew!" Jing Yan let out a long sigh, his eyes bursting with a sharp light.

"It's over!"

"I wonder if it's successfully refined!" Jing Yan looked at the Qiankun Pill Furnace.

He couldn't be certain whether the Divine Dao Pill had stabilized successfully. Although he could sense the presence of the elixir inside the furnace using his own Primordial Energy, he had no way of knowing whether it would disintegrate and vanish upon opening the furnace.

"Jing Yan, go ahead and retrieve the elixir from the furnace! Don't think too much. At your age of just twenty years old, your achievements are already remarkable, and even without the Divine Dao Pill, your future in martial arts won't be greatly affected. It's best if the refining is successful, but even if it fails, there's no need for disappointment," Tianshui spoke to console Jing Yan.

"Mm," Jing Yan nodded upon hearing this.

That being said, if the elixir failed to refine, it would inevitably be disappointing.

"Whoosh!" The Qiankun Pill Furnace was opened.

With a casual wave of his hand, a surge of Primordial Energy flowed out, lifting the elixir from the furnace.

"Swoosh!"

But at that moment, an unexpected phenomenon occurred!

A ray of colorful light descended from the sky and, in the blink of an eye, entered the Divine Dao Pill that had just been lifted.

Outside of Jing Yan's residence at that moment, several members of the Zhang Family happened to pass by, and one of them chanced to look in that direction.

"What's that?" The person saw a seven-colored Divine Light descending from the sky into Jing Yan's room and cried out in shock, eyes wide.

The others heard his shout and also turned to look, but saw nothing. The appearance and disappearance of the seven-colored Divine Light were merely an instant.

"Where's what?"

"There's nothing there!"

"No, I just saw a colorful Light Halo descend from the sky and enter Mr. Jing Yan's room!" the Zhang Family's member furrowed his brows and said.

"You must be mistaken; plainly, there was nothing. Heh, you saw things, right?" the others shook their heads and mocked.

The Zhang Family's member who had seen the seven-colored Divine Light also began to doubt himself. Could it be that he really was mistaken? But how could he have hallucinations without reason?

Shaking his head, it wasn't right to say more. As for Jing Yan's residence, he dared not intrude, and such baseless matters couldn't be reported to the Clan Leader and elders since he was the only one who had witnessed this extraordinary sight.

Meanwhile, in the Qiankun Space beside the Qiankun Road, Jing Yan was also stunned.

He personally saw a Divine Light suddenly appearing and entering the freshly produced Divine Dao Pill.

"What is this?" Jing Yan muttered.

Having mastered the Qiankun Pill Path to date, he had refined a significant number of elixirs, yet he had never encountered such a phenomenon.

"Dao Rules descent?" Even Tianshui beside him was slightly taken aback, murmuring these words softly.

Even though he spoke softly, Jing Yan heard him clearly.

"Dao Rules descent? Senior Tianshui, what does that mean?" Jing Yan, with bewilderment filling his eyes, looked at Tianshui.

By now, Jing Yan was almost sure that the Divine Dao Pill was successfully refined. Yet, this batch of elixir had yielded only one pill.

Previously, he would usually get five or six pills per batch of elixirs he refined, sometimes even seven.

But this time, when refining the Divine Dao Pill, only one pill formed.

Once the Divine Dao Pill was retrieved from the Qiankun Pill Furnace and had ceased to dissipate, judging from previous experience, the elixir was indeed successfully refined. What baffled Jing Yan was that a ray of Divine Light had appeared at the moment of the pill's emergence, flowing into the pill. Jing Yan was unsure whether this was good or bad.

"Only when a Perfect Elixir appears in this world will Dao Rules descend!" Tianshui exhaled deeply, his expression somewhat agitated, and then suddenly, his gaze turned intense as he looked at Jing Yan.

"It's hard to believe! You, a mere twenty-year-old lad, actually managed to refine an elixir that triggers the descent of Dao Rules. Even in my own era, you would certainly be considered an exceptional Pill Master," Tianshui spoke excitedly.

Through these words, Jing Yan also inferred that the appearance of the Divine Light wasn't a bad thing. It seems this Divine Pill had reached some level of perfection.

To this, Jing Yan was completely unaware. In the Qiankun Pill Path, there were no records of such information.

"Jing Yan! Regarding the quality of elixirs, as you know, there are third-class, second-class, and first-class. In this era, an ordinary Pill Master can refine third-class elixirs, those who can refine second-class elixirs can be called Little Pill Kings, and those who can refine first-class elixirs earn the title of Pill King. What you don't know is that above first-class elixirs, there are even more powerful Perfect Elixirs. Perfect Elixirs can also be referred to as Divine Pills, and Pill Masters who refine Divine Pills have a title on the Continent known as Pill Gods. Jing Yan, you can now be considered a Pill God," Tianshui, having regained his composure, smiled as he said to Jing Yan.
