Chapter 779 Lu Xueqi and Biyao
The surface of the altar was covered with densely packed runes, layer upon layer, so complex that they were dazzling to behold. At each of the four corners of the altar stood a stone pillar about ten feet tall, carved with lifelike dragon patterns. The dragon patterns on the four pillars were different, each corresponding to one of the four celestial phenomena: wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.
In the very center of the altar, there is a recess that can hold just the right amount of five fragments.
Master Xuanqing pointed to the altar and said, "This is the Five Elements Fusion Array left by our Qingyun Sect's founder. This array is specifically designed to fuse the power of the five elements. When you fuse the fragments on the altar, the array's power will help you share most of the backlash, greatly reducing the risk of fusion."
Su Han carefully examined the altar, sensing the aura emanating from it. The altar gave him a strange feeling; it resembled some kind of ancient formation, some kind of powerful magical artifact, and there was also an indescribable feeling, as if the altar was alive.
"However," Master Xuanqing changed the subject, "even with the help of the Five Elements Fusion Array, your cultivation is still somewhat insufficient. Although there is only a three-minor-level difference between the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage and the peak stage of the Nascent Soul stage, the amount of spiritual power differs by more than tenfold. The spiritual power required to fuse the fragments is equivalent to the entire spiritual power of a peak Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and your current spiritual power is less than one-fifth of that, which is simply not enough."
Su Han frowned. Insufficient spiritual energy was a very real problem. Cultivation could be gradually increased, but time waits for no one. The seal of the Netherworld Cold Abyss could break at any moment; how could he possibly have time to slowly cultivate to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage?
Master Xuanqing seemed to see Su Han's worries, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, since I've called you here, I naturally have a way to solve this problem."
He took out a small bottle from his storage ring and handed it to Su Han. The bottle was only the size of a thumb, pure white, and made of an unknown material. A talisman was affixed to the bottle, its runes emitting a faint golden light.
Su Han took the bottle and asked in confusion, "Elder, what is this?"
“Chaotic Spirit Liquid,” Master Xuanqing said. “This is the highest-grade spirit liquid in the cultivation world, containing the purest chaotic power. Taking just one drop can raise a Nascent Soul cultivator’s cultivation level by one small realm. There are three drops here, enough to raise your cultivation level to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.”
Su Han stared wide-eyed at the small bottle in his hand in disbelief. A single drop could raise one's cultivation level by a small amount? He had never even heard of such a spiritual liquid.
Even Fairy Yuehua was shocked. She had cultivated for hundreds of years, only managing to advance from the Golden Core stage to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and knew all too well the difficulty of cultivation. If such a spiritual liquid truly existed, wouldn't cultivation be far too easy?
Master Xuanqing noticed their confusion and explained, "The Chaos Elixir is not something anyone can use. Only cultivators with a Chaos Dao Body can absorb the chaotic power within it. If cultivators with other constitutions consume it, not only will it have no effect, but they will also suffer from the erosion of the chaotic power, resulting in the severing of their meridians and the destruction of their body and soul. Therefore, this elixir is extremely rare in the cultivation world and is almost never circulated."
Su Han suddenly realized. It turned out that the Chaos Spirit Liquid was tailor-made for him.
"Elder, where did you obtain this spiritual liquid?" Su Han asked curiously.
Master Xuanqing smiled slightly and said, "This was left to me by my master. He said that a cultivator with a Chaos Dao Body would come to Qingyun Sect in the future and asked me to give him the spiritual liquid. Now it seems that my master was talking about you."
Su Han's heart skipped a beat. Xuanqing Zhenren's master must have been a figure from tens of thousands of years ago. That senior had actually foreseen today's events tens of thousands of years ago; such predictive ability was simply unbelievable.
"Thank you, Supreme Elder." Su Han bowed respectfully.
Master Xuanqing waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. The safety of the cultivation world cannot be borne by one person alone. All I can do is help you improve your cultivation and reduce the risks of fusion. The real responsibility lies with you."
He paused, then continued, "You will consume the Chaos Elixir here, and I will protect you. Once you break through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, we will begin fusing the fragments."
Su Han nodded, sat cross-legged beside the altar, opened the talisman on the small bottle, and poured out a drop of Chaos Spirit Liquid. The liquid was golden, crystal clear, and exuded a rich chaotic aura. Su Han dripped the liquid into his mouth, and a warm power instantly surged into his body, flowing along his meridians throughout his entire body.
This power wasn't as potent as ordinary elixirs; instead, it was extremely gentle, like a spring breeze and gentle rain, nourishing things silently. The chaotic power circulated within his body, continuously absorbing the energy from the spiritual liquid, causing his cultivation level to rise at a visible rate.
Su Han closed his eyes and immersed himself in cultivation.
Master Xuanqing stood aside, quietly watching Su Han, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
Moon Fairy and Sword Master Wan Jian also stood guard nearby, not daring to breathe too loudly, for fear of disturbing Su Han.
Time passed second by second, and Su Han's aura grew stronger and stronger, the golden light brighter and brighter. The spiritual power within his body was increasing wildly, his meridians were expanding continuously, and his dantian was constantly being filled.
One day later, Su Han broke through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Three days later, Su Han broke through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Seven days later, Su Han broke through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Three drops of Chaos Elixir, just enough.
Su Han opened his eyes, which flashed with golden light, and his entire being exuded a powerful aura. He stood up, stretched his body, and felt his whole body brimming with power.
He had finally reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Master Xuanqing nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good. Your foundation is very solid, and there have been no signs of instability after your breakthrough. Now, we can begin to fuse the fragments."
Su Han walked up to the altar and placed the five fragments into the groove in the center of the altar. The five fragments fit perfectly into the groove, as if they were designed for them.
Master Xuanqing stood beside the altar, his hands forming hand seals. The runes on the altar began to light up, and streaks of light flowed across its surface, growing brighter and more complex. The stone pillars at the four corners of the altar also began to glow, and the dragon patterns on them seemed to come alive, moving about on the pillars.
The Five Elements Fusion Array has been activated.
Su Han took a deep breath, circulated the power of chaos, and placed his hands on the five fragments.
Golden chaotic energy surged into the fragments, causing all five fragments to vibrate simultaneously, emitting a buzzing sound. Five different colored lights shot out from the fragments—red, blue, gold, green, and blue—intertwining in the air to form a magnificent rainbow. (End of Chapter)
