Battle Through the Heavens: Marry Cao Ying, Reward is Devouring Ancestral Symbol

The domineering nature of the future ”No Birth Sutra”This supreme scripture obtained from the System not only granted him the ability to condense the phantom of the ”Lord of the Future” and nearly deduce the future.

It also possessed a miraculous function that allowed him to deduce all Cultivation Techniques, Alchemy arts, and combat processes in a near-”substantive” manner within his Sea of Consciousness!

With a thought, Shen Wen’s consciousness sank into an illusory space.

The flow of time here was different from the outside world, and everything was constructed by his will.

A Medicine Cauldron identical to the heaven burning cauldron emerged, the Fallen Heart Flame rose from its base, and phantoms of various medicinal ingredients lined up in order.

Shen Wen began his ”refining.”

The first time, the heat was slightly too intense; the third auxiliary ingredient, the ”Blood Essence Demon Fruit,” was over-purified, causing the medicinal power to leak out, leading to a failure in the subsequent Fusion and the pill embryo collapsing halfway.

The second time, the timing of the Fusion was half a breath too early; the medicinal properties of the ”earth core soul marrow” and the ”Bone Spirit Fruit” clashed, triggering a small-scale explosion and interrupting the deduction.

The third time, when the fourth main ingredient, the ”Ten-Thousand-Year Green Spirit Vine,” was introduced, there was a slight deviation in temperature control, causing the medicinal liquid to repel... In the deduction space constructed by the Future Non-Existence Sutra, Shen Wen was completely focused, trying time and again, failing time and again, and adjusting time and again.

Every failure deepened his understanding of refining the bone-generating blood-fusing pill.

The delicate balance of mutually reinforcing and neutralizing medicinal properties, the precise control of the ever-changing flame temperature, the optimal point for Soul Power to intervene in the Fusion... This experience, which would require a massive price to obtain in reality, was accumulated and digested by him at an astonishing speed within the deduction space.

After ”experiencing” an unknown number of failures.

The medicinal liquid in the cauldron finally fused perfectly, slowly shrinking and solidifying within the flames. A pill embryo the size of a longan, its surface shimmering with red and white halos and emitting a majestic vitality, slowly took shape.

At the moment the pill was formed, Shen Wen’s thoughts moved again, incorporating unexpected factors such as ”Pill Lightning interference” and ”energy riots” into the deduction and making adjustments.

Finally, a perfect and flawless bone-generating blood-fusing pill floated quietly within the illusory cauldron.

The deduction was a success!

Shen Wen opened his eyes, a trace of relieved clarity flashing through them.

Only two hours had passed in the outside world, but in the deduction space, he had already ”experienced” hundreds of refinements, knowing every detail of the bone-generating blood-fusing pill by heart.

”It can begin.”

He stood up and walked out of the Quiet Room.

In the courtyard, Cai Lin, Cao Ying, Xiao Yi Xian, Dan Chen, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan were all waiting.

Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were also standing to the side.

”Husband, is the deduction finished?” Cao Ying stepped forward to greet him.

”Yes.” Shen Wen nodded and looked at everyone. ”I’m going to the back mountain to refine the pill; it will take about seven days. If you want to watch, you can follow Elder Su to the outer perimeter, but do not approach the Pill Lightning range.”

”Naturally, we’re going,” Cai Lin said indifferently, her hand gently stroking her lower abdomen. ”It’s a good chance to go for a walk.”

Xiao Yi Xian, Dan Chen, and the others nodded one after another, their eyes filled with expectation.

The group left the courtyard and headed toward the back mountain.

The back mountain valley had long been cleared, with no one in sight for several miles around. Only the academy’s top three experts—Su Qian, Qian Mu, and Bai Lie—stood at the valley entrance, waiting.

Seeing Shen Wen and the others arrive, Su Qian stepped forward. ”Young Friend Shen, everything has been arranged.”

Shen Wen nodded. ”Thank you for your trouble.”

...In the center of the valley, the heaven burning cauldron stood quietly.

Shen Wen sat cross-legged in front of the cauldron, his black robe spotless.

He slowly raised his hands, palms upward, and the translucent Fallen Heart Flame, fused with the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, ignited silently.

The flame seemed gentle, but for those present with weaker cultivation...

...such as Xiao Yan and Qing Lin, they felt their hearts skip a beat for no reason, as if an invisible heat was welling up from the depths of their hearts, making them slightly irritable.

”The ’heart-fire soul-tempering’ effect of the Fallen Heart Flame can stir emotional waves just by being near it, even if it doesn’t act directly on the Soul.”

Yao Lao’s voice sounded in Xiao Yan’s heart, filled with emotion. ”For Shen Wen to be able to control this flame with such ease, his Soul cultivation has likely reached the Late Stage of the Heaven Realm, or perhaps... even higher.”

They also knew that Shen Wen had already refined the Fallen Heart Flame from within the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, which made Xiao Yan feel it was a bit of a pity.

But there was nothing to be done; he had already obtained two Heavenly Flames, one of which Shen Wen had helped him get.

Furthermore, this was Shen Wen’s own ability, so naturally, he couldn’t say much.

Xiao Yan secretly felt a sense of awe, held his breath, and focused his gaze intently on every one of Shen Wen’s movements.

”The first ingredient: ’earth core soul marrow’.”

Shen Wen spoke.

With a gesture of his left hand, a jade box opened, and a mass of milky-white, slightly wriggling gelatinous substance—as if alive—flew out and landed in the heaven burning cauldron.

The tongues of the Fallen Heart Flame gently curled up and enveloped it.

There was no violent burning sound; the ”earth core soul marrow” slowly melted in the flames, separating out strands of grayish-black Impurities that dissipated as a wisp of blue smoke.

What remained was an increasingly pure, milky-white essence emitting dense Soul fluctuations.

”Such exquisite fire control...”

Yao Lao praised in a low voice, his Soul form fluctuating slightly. ”The nature of the earth core soul marrow is extremely gentle; the slightest carelessness will damage its Soul medicinal power.”

He uses a Heavenly Flame as domineering as the Fallen Heart Flame to refine it, yet he can make the flames like a gentle spring breeze, causing not a shred of harm.

”This skill of ’Soft Fire Essence Tempering’ is absolutely impossible to achieve without decades of immersion.”

Xiao Yan watched without blinking, his Soul Power unconsciously spreading out, attempting to capture every minute change in Shen Wen’s control of the flames.

But he soon discovered that Shen Wen’s Soul control was refined to the extreme, like the finest embroidery needle moving through.

As soon as his Soul Power drew near, he felt dizzy and found it difficult to keep up with that rhythm.

Shen Wen did not pause and beckoned with his right hand.

”The second ingredient: ’Ten-Thousand-Year Green Spirit Vine’.”

A section of emerald-green vine, looking as if it had just been cut from an ancient tree, flew into the cauldron.

This time, the flame temperature surged, turning a blazing white, instantly burning through the wax layer on the vine’s surface and rapidly extracting the majestic wood-attribute vitality within.

Two masses of medicinal essence, one green and one white, floated in the cauldron, distinct from each other yet faintly echoing one another.

”The third ingredient: ’Blood Essence Demon Fruit’.”

”The fourth ingredient: ’Bone Spirit Fruit’.”

One by one, rare main and auxiliary ingredients that would be enough to trigger a struggle among Dou Emperors or even Dou Ancestors in the outside world...

...were thrown into the heaven burning cauldron under Shen Wen’s methodical control, refined and purified by the Fallen Heart Flame in various ways—sometimes violent, sometimes gentle, sometimes rapid, sometimes slow.

The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, without the slightest hesitation, as if it had been practiced thousands of times.

At the outer perimeter of the valley, everyone held their breath.

Su Qian, Qian Mu, and Bai Lie looked solemn; even though they were not skilled in Alchemy, they could feel the pressure emitted by the increasingly massive and pure mixed medicinal power gathering in the cauldron.

Cai Lin’s purple eyes were calm.

Cao Ying and Dan Chen’s beautiful eyes shone with brilliance; as Alchemists, they could better appreciate how terrifying the skill Shen Wen was displaying at this moment truly was.

Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin were full of admiration.

Zi Yan blinked her large eyes and whispered, ”It smells so good... much better than those previous pills!”

She sniffed, looking like a little glutton, until Cai Lin gently slapped the back of her head, causing her to behave.
