The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Successful Configuration Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Successful Configuration He Tianshui, once the strongest on the Heavenly Origin Continent, had never experienced being chased by a Level 8 spiritual beast.

What a fall from grace!

That anger, he had to vent it somehow.

If it were not for the fact that he was already dead, leaving only a residual soul, a casual slap from him would have killed not just Level 8 spiritual beasts, but a bunch of Level 9 ones as well.

These filthy beasts, daring to chase after him?

Outrageous!

Thus, he seemed even more anxious than Jing Yan.

“But this place is Sinful Canyon, and it’s very dangerous!” Jing Yan looked around at the white fog swirling everywhere, not knowing when a spiritual beast might appear.

Jing Yan frowned and looked at Tianshui.

“Dig a cave!” Tianshui waved again.

Clearly, he was determined to have Jing Yan advance to the Innate Realm within Sinful Canyon and then seek revenge on the Fire Cloud Beast.

Dig a cave!

Jing Yan picked a spot on the cliff and started to dig.

The Flowing Light Sword was too long and inconvenient for digging, so he took out the top-quality short sword he obtained from the Dark Night Assassin.

This short sword was perfect for the task.

Using a top-quality weapon to dig a cave was indeed unthinkable for ordinary people.

Within Sinful Canyon, although there might be some natural caves, with the fog swirling around and visibility limited to less than a hundred meters, how could one easily find a suitable cave?

Instead of wasting time looking for a cave, it was more convenient to dig one themselves.

Jing Yan, with his formidable strength and abundant Primordial Energy, assisted by a top-quality weapon, made quick work of digging.

The hard rock in front of him was as soft as tofu.

In less than four hours, Jing Yan carved out a small cave in the rock face.

After hiding inside, he blocked the entrance with a prepared boulder.

After some disguising, the cave was quite concealed.

Even if there were Human Martial Artists nearby, unless they looked closely, they would hardly discover that there was a hidden cave here.

As for the less intelligent spiritual beasts, they could only rely on their sense of smell to detect anything unusual in the cave.

However, even the most sharp-sensed beasts would have to be close to catch the scent.

Furthermore, even if these sharp-sensed spiritual beasts sensed something odd, it would be hard for them to figure out that a cave was hidden behind the boulder.

Inside the cave, Jing Yan changed into a clean blue robe and took out all the Spirit Grass needed for preparing the medicine.

Except for the Purple Incense Flower, Jing Yan had already acquired all the other Spirit Grass back in Donglin City.

The only missing Purple Incense Flower was now also in his possession.

The preparation of the medicine could begin.

This time, Tianshui stayed by Jing Yan’s side the whole time, even when Jing Yan was digging the cave, he did not enter the Qiankun Ring.

Obviously, he was very eager.

“Listen carefully!”

“Remember every step I tell you and execute exactly as I say,” Tianshui, with a serious expression, told Jing Yan.

In fact, preparing the medicine was relatively simple, though it involved complex steps and required some Primordial Energy.

Refining an Elixir was incredibly difficult.

Compared to refining elixirs, preparing medicine was like child’s play.

With Jing Yan’s memory, Tianshui only needed to explain once for him to remember every step in the medicine preparation process.

Of course, although the preparation was relatively simple, there could be no errors.

Even a tiny mistake could lead to the complete failure of the medicine preparation.

And now, Jing Yan had only one chance.

If he failed and wasted the Purple Incense Flower he risked his life to obtain, he didn’t know if he would ever get another chance to acquire it.

Jing Yan had no confidence that he could snatch another Purple Incense Flower from beneath the massive jaws of the Fire Cloud Beast, unless he stepped into the Innate Realm.

However, by the time he entered the Innate Realm, the Purple Incense Flower would have lost much of its value to him.

After memorizing all the steps Tianshui explained, Jing Yan began preparing the medicine.

Various types of Spirit Grass were continuously refined and extracted by his Primordial Energy in a container to combine them.

Jing Yan’s movements were slow – it didn’t matter if he was slow, as long as there were no mistakes.

Two hours passed!

Four hours passed!

…

After fourteen hours.

“Whew!”

“It’s almost done; now it’s time for the purification and filtration,” Jing Yan looked at the green solution in the container and let out a slight breath.

Preparing the medicine for the first time was quite exhausting; it wasn’t physically demanding, but mentally tiring.

Purification and filtration were the last steps, and also the simplest.

He needed to keep activating his Primordial Energy to evaporate the liquid in the container to a certain extent and then filter out the residue.

That was it.

Another hour passed.

“It’s done!”

“The medicine is ready!”

Tianshui personally checked the medicine Jing Yan had prepared, nodded his head, and seemed quite pleased.

“Jing Yan, with the help of this medicine, if you can’t advance to the Innate Realm, you’re no better than a pig,” Tianshui squinted his eyes and said to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan’s face darkened upon hearing this.

Advancing to the Innate Realm?

The Innate Realm wasn’t that simple.

You should see how many Innate Realm Martial Artists there are in Donglin City.

If advancing to the Innate were that easy, the Jing Family wouldn’t just have about ten Innate Realm Martial Artists.

Jing Yan had advanced to the Innate Realm before, but precisely because he had, he truly understood how difficult it was.

How many Martial Artists at the Ninth Layer Heaven spent their entire lives unable to make that step.

It’s known that once one steps into the Innate Realm, a Martial Artist’s lifespan greatly increases.

Martial Artists at the Ninth Layer Heaven usually live over a hundred years, while those in the Innate Realm, unless they die accidentally, almost all live up to two hundred years.

Several elders in the Jing Family were over a hundred years old and appeared to be in their sixties or seventies.

“Kid, I won’t disturb you any longer, prepare yourself and then begin your advancement,” Tianshui didn’t wait for Jing Yan to respond, leaving these words behind, he disappeared in front of him.

And Jing Yan, after looking at the green medicine he had prepared, closed his eyes and started circulating the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill to adjust his condition.

Advancing to the Innate Realm wasn’t something to be rushed; he must first get his physical condition to its best.

After all, preparing thoroughly doesn’t hinder the progress of work.

Time slipped by unnoticed.

After about a day, Jing Yan finally opened his eyes again.

He knew it was time to try advancing to the Innate Realm.

He took out all the Top-grade Spirit Stones from the Sumeru Ring, totaling twenty-two.
