Medical Sage

Those ten statues appeared ordinary, yet the half-bodies and various fragmented blood clots leftover on the ground magnified their terror and inviolability to everyone.

Minor Heavenly Position characters were no match for them!

Thus, the place descended into silence! Everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter—eerily quiet.

”What exactly are those ten statues!?” Amidst the deafening silence, Duan Shishan, the Peak of Minor Heavenly Position character from Qi Family Fort beside Chen Fei, murmured, a bead of sweat appearing unknowingly on his forehead. Most of the Minor Heavenly Position experts in Earth Martial City were familiar faces, so he naturally knew who had been killed just now.

Dong Qingxuan, an elder level character of the Four Directions Demon Sect, wielded immense power and formidable strength, only half a step away from reaching the Peak of Minor Heavenly Position. Yet now, such a character died so swiftly! Facing those statues, he didn’t have a chance to strike back?

”I didn’t expect... to encounter Pill Beasts here?”

Only Chen Fei, gazing deeply at the ten statue beasts, murmured then looked up towards the Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo of the mountain palace and the end of the hall, saying, ”What’s hidden within the palace at the end of the mountain peak?”

”What is a Pill Beast?” Li Pangbo couldn’t help but ask. He knew Alchemists, but he had never heard of a Pill Beast.

”You can understand it as a life form created from Pills, somewhat like Puppets, but far more different. Pay attention to their eyes,” Chen Fei slowly explained.

Li Pangbo, Duan Shishan, and others looked toward the eyes of those ten statue beasts, then their pupils contracted sharply, exclaiming, ”What is that!?”

”Pills,” Chen Fei said assertively.

”Pills?” Li Pangbo and Duan Shishan exchanged glances, their eyes filled with terrible shock. In the eyes of those statues were indeed glowing Pills.

”What kind of technique is this...” They took a deep breath. To create life using Pills, and to such a terrifying and powerful degree, such a technique could be described as miraculous. Even they were awed.

”The strength of these Pill Beasts depends on the grade of the Pills... If I remember correctly, the minimum requirement to create these Pill Beasts is King Pill.” Chen Fei spoke again, causing Li Pangbo and Duan Shishan’s pupils to contract—King Pill?

It seemed they had really found a grand treasure here!

However, for now, this treasure didn’t seem very friendly...

”How can we not get in?” Li Pangbo licked his lips and asked.

Such treasure, he did not want to miss.

”You?” Chen Fei paused at the question, then shook his head directly, saying, ”I’m afraid you can’t get in.”

”Hmm... Why!?” Duan Shishan’s face changed, asking.

”Just a guess, but likely close to the mark... you’ll see for yourselves,” Chen Fei replied calmly, his gaze shifting towards Jiang Wanli, who as if sensing something, met his eyes, then revealed an extremely provocative cold smile.

”Just as expected...” Seeing Jiang Wanli’s annoying provocative smile, Chen Fei shook his head, rubbing his fingers, murmuring somewhat coldly.

Swoosh! At this moment, another figure shot toward the palace, drawing everyone’s attention.

”What? It’s actually him!” Once they saw the face of that figure, someone exclaimed in shock.

”Who!?” The person beside him immediately asked.

”The one who previously killed Gu Qing, True Monarch of Eternal Temple, and was hunted for half a month, yet escaped. I thought he had left, but he’s still here...”

”What! It’s actually him!?” Everyone’s expression changed drastically, including Li Pangbo, Duan Shishan, and others. All eyes turned to that figure, and beside him, a striking blood-red long knife confirmed it really was him.

Gu Qing of Eternal Temple was of the same era as Li Pangbo, Wang Zhanxin, and others, having reached the Peak of Minor Heavenly Position. However, he was still killed by this person before them, showing just how terrifying this person was.

”Buzz!” At this moment, a humming noise filled the sky, a claw enveloped in black feathers extended from the clouds, obscuring the heavens, and shaking the earth, causing everyone’s eyes to narrow.

”Slash!” That mysterious expert wielded the blade and slashed down, an endless force woven into a terrifying blade light, the blade intent rose into the sky, incomparably terrifying! In that storm, the mysterious expert’s eyes shone brightly, causing Chen Fei to momentarily pause.

”This guy... so young...” Chen Fei watched the mysterious expert with curiosity and surprise. Though it was only a fleeting moment, he could see clearly that this person was very young, likely around the same age as Long Yi and others.

This person is the one who killed the peak Minor Heavenly Position powerhouse of the Eternal Temple!?

Boom! At this time, that terrifying divine blade clashed with the black feather beast claw, the void condensed into a dreadful ribbon, first squeezing inward, then suddenly bursting outward with force, causing the entire sky and earth to be swept into a violent storm.

And within the storm, a figure flew out spitting blood; people’s eyes shrank, that figure was none other than the mysterious young strongman who killed True Lord Gu Qing of the Eternal Temple.

”Even he’s defeated? Just how strong are these... no, these pill beasts?” Duan Shishan and others’ eyes trembled, cautiously glancing at that raven-shaped black statue in front of the palace, murmuring.

”It’s probably the weakest amongst these ten statues.” Chen Fei’s gaze also fell on the raven-shaped black statue, pursing his lips, he said.

”The weakest! Are you sure? How is that possible?!” Li Pangbo’s face changed instantly, blurting out in shock.

”Don’t believe me? Then take a look at the last one among them.” Chen Fei’s face showed some change, he said.

Duan Shishan, Li Pangbo, and others quickly looked towards where Chen Fei had indicated. They saw that in the center position of the ten statues, there was a relatively ’petite’ pill beast. It was like a flood dragon, its body glowing with purple light, a spiral horn growing on its forehead, shimmering with crystal-like brilliance. Looking further at the tip of the horn, strands of thunder folded and leaped like living creatures, surrounding the area...

At the same time, a strange ripple also released from within that thunder, causing anyone who looked directly at the thunder to feel fear and terror from the depths of their hearts.

”Gulp~ Heaven, heavenly thunder!?” Li Pangbo swallowed his saliva, his expression extremely comical as he stared at the thunder on the horn, stammering in fear. That, that was actually heavenly thunder.

”Yes. Although this heavenly thunder is fake, its power might be comparable to real heavenly thunder.” Chen Fei nodded, his gaze falling into the depths of the flood dragon statue’s eyes. Tribulation lightning pill refining could have a twenty percent chance of helping Supreme Heavenly Position characters to resist the heavenly thunder when advancing to the Realm of the Saint Infant... Using such a top King Pill to create a pill beast is too extravagant, too grand, isn’t it!?

In the next moment, Chen Fei’s expression was solemn as he looked up at the far end of the palace on the mountaintop. His thoughts were complicated; what kind of person had left this palace behind? Yee Hua Pill King? Seems like a very terrifying guy.

”Look quickly! What’s he trying to do? Jiann Wanli, he’s actually walking towards that palace. Isn’t he afraid of dying?” At this moment, someone exclaimed because they saw Jiann Wanli striding towards the palace.

Immediately, everyone’s eyes were fixed on him. Chen Fei paused for a moment, then his figure also soared into the air, heading towards the palace.

”Chen...!” Duan Shishan instinctively reached out to block, but gave up because Chen Fei moved very quickly.

Upon seeing this, people’s expressions became even stranger. Is this madman also going to do something crazy?

However, unexpectedly, sensing Jiann Wanli gradually approaching, the ten statues all raised their heads, but at this moment, Jiann Wanli somehow did something in secret that didn’t provoke the ten statues to attack him but rather made them fall silent and still again.

This scene shocked everyone.

”What’s going on? How could this be…” No one knew what happened. Jiann Wanli was not attacked? Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh... everyone’s gaze fell on Jiann Wanli’s face, and he was full of arrogance, squinting his eyes slightly, seemingly very proud of what he had accomplished.

”Why, do you also want to try and walk over like me? Nice idea, though, but considering our ’friendship’ over these past days, let me give you a friendly reminder, if you try to walk over like me, you might die~”

Jiann Wanli turned around, with an eyeing, sneering look on his face directed at Chen Fei, sarcastically said: ”Do you think you are me? Sometimes, people ought to have self-awareness, don’t you agree?”

Chen Fei looked up at Jiann Wanli, who was full of pride and sneering, his expression very calm, and asked lightly, ”You seem to know something? How about telling us?”

”Ha ha.” Jiann Wanli’s face showed a sly sneer, his eyes sarcastically glanced at Chen Fei a few times, finally laughed, and said: ”Since you want to know, then fine, let you know while being helpless about it, isn’t that feeling the most wonderful?”

After speaking, he glanced at everyone present, then laughed disdainfully, said: ”Looks like you’ve all forgotten, huh, six hundred years ago, what place was this?”

”Six hundred years ago!?” An elderly person was startled upon hearing this, then their pupils shrunk, thinking of something, blurted out: ”You mean Heavenly Origin Sect!?”

”Exactly! Six hundred years ago, Heavenly Origin Sect was the mightiest sect of our Qiannan Ancient Kingdom. Even the current Five Great Powers of the Inner Region couldn’t compare alone to what Heavenly Origin Sect was back then.” Jiann Wanli spoke eloquently, a color of greedy excitement appearing on his face.

This was Heavenly Origin Sect! The greatest of the Ancient Country Qiannan six hundred years ago. If it hadn’t been eliminated by the dynasty and the Five Great Powers due to envy back then, it would surely still be an immensely powerful overlord today. Alas...

”I remember now!” At this point, someone exclaimed: ”This place was an important city of Celestial Demon Sect, recorded in ancient books. Later, it was buried by the war back then, who would’ve thought...”

Upon hearing this, the crowd stirred, incredibly excited, which means the land they are now treading was once the city of Heavenly Origin Sect! No wonder there are so many treasures and inheritance here, it all makes sense now.

”And then?” At this time, Chen Fei’s calm voice sounded, and said: ”What’s in that palace?”
