17 Chapter 17 Did I Dig My Own Grave?_1
Translator: 549690339
The introduction by the Seventh Elder had everyone brimming with anticipation.

With ten portions combined, a King Grade Spirit Transforming Dan was produced; with a hundred, could it lead to an Emperor Grade? Or even the legendary Emperor Grade?

Suddenly, Mu Xingzhi's heart stirred, “Pill Tribulation, like the Heaven Tribulation faced by cultivators, is a suppression by the laws of heaven and earth. If Pill Tribulation emerges, the laws must become incredibly active!”

“At that time, the laws of heaven and earth will definitely sense junior uncle's cultivation and bring down the Heaven Tribulation!”

As these words were spoken, everyone widened their eyes, and the First Elder said joyfully, “That means, junior uncle can finally cross the Tribulation!”

If Pill Tribulation descends, as an alchemist, junior uncle will certainly be present, so how could his proximity go unnoticed by the rules of heaven and earth?

His cultivation should have faced Tribulation long ago.

This time, there's no escaping it. Whether he wants to or not, he must undergo the Tribulation!

As long as he survives the Heaven Tribulation, junior uncle will inevitably be unable to suppress his advancement for long and will have to ascend.

At this thought, everyone's faces lit up with frantic joy!

Junior uncle was finally going to ascend!

What if he didn't want to ascend?

Refining so many portions of the Spirit Transforming Dan, he's surely set his own trap, hasn't he?

Hehe, just waiting!

All they had to do was wait for junior uncle to produce top-quality Spirit Transforming Dan, trigger the Pill Tribulation, and trap himself!

Li Cheng was already fully focused on adjusting his condition, oblivious to the ecstatic expressions around him.

He hadn't thought that far. He only wanted to refine pills with the highest efficiency.

The Spirit Transforming Dan is merely a fourth-level Spirit Pill, something Nascent Soul Stage experts can refine. Li Cheng, recalling the previous refining process, faintly felt that a hundred portions were too few!

Refining a hundred Responding to Calamity Pills would be a huge challenge for him, but a hundred Spirit Transforming Dans put no pressure on him.

Once his condition was adjusted, Li Cheng slowly opened his eyes and once again added nine hundred portions of materials to the Purple Void Jade Emperor's Tripod, amounting to a total of one thousand portions!

After some quiet calculations, Li Cheng nodded in satisfaction; no problem at all!

The onlookers, however, were stunned!

A thousand portions?!

Aren't you kidding?

Before the audience could open their mouths to argue, Li Cheng had already ignited the True Fire and commenced the alchemy process.

The Purple Void Jade Emperor's Tripod grew as large as a house, with the roaring True Fire surging within it, its astonishing fluctuations forcing the onlookers to retreat repeatedly!

The materials for the Spirit Transforming Dan comprised of seventeen types of Spirit Medicine, a thousand portions each, all swiftly purified under Li Cheng's control.

The impurities dissipated like smoke in the wind, with only the essence and medicinal properties retained. In just a few minutes, only seventeen clusters of medicine essences remained in the Tripod.

Next was to merge these medicine essences in sequence. Since each essence had a different compatibility, any slight mishap or mistiming could cause an explosion due to the rejection among essences, leading to a failed alchemy and wasted efforts.

If it had been a lower-level Pill Tripod, so many portions of material could have blown it to pieces, but the Purple Void Jade Emperor's Tripod was a semi-immortal artifact. How could it possibly be destroyed by Spirit Medicine?

Perhaps with Immortal Elixir, it would be possible.

The process of merging the various medicine essences is known as amalgamating the Dan. This step is time-consuming and cannot be rushed.

After almost half an hour, Li Cheng finally finished this phase.

Looking at the pill-sized medicine liquid orb over a meter in diameter, Li Cheng took a long breath of relief; what followed would be simpler – condensing the Dan!

Many Formations were set up inside the Purple Void Jade Emperor's Tripod, each stage of the alchemy could be assisted by the corresponding Formation, including the condensing stage.

The intensity of the True Fire within the Tripod lessened, the Formation activated, and it rolled the amalgamated medicine essence around. In the blink of an eye, the medicine liquid orb was evenly divided into tens of thousands of portions.

Under the operation of the Formation, these nascent pills quickly took shape, resembling little marbles flying upwards.

Li Cheng opened the Pill Tripod, and witness: countless Spirit Transforming Dans flew out like locusts swarming, each enveloped in a dense pill fragrance and a faint luster, pouring out densely!

The fragrance of the pills wafted through the air, refreshing the spirit and invigorating the mind!

“The pills are finished!”

Everyone drew long breaths, afraid the scent of the pills would dissipate, their gazes firmly fixed on the cluster of pills.

Above ten thousand Spirit Transforming Dans floated above the Purple Void Jade Emperor's Tripod, each pill releasing a faint luster that converged into a spectacular display!

“Heavens! There are even pill patterns on them, at least a hundred!” the Seventh Elder exclaimed as he surveyed the group of pills.

“Among these hundred or so with pill patterns, more than ten are enshrouded in haloes. Could they be the Emperor Grades you were talking about?” the First Elder asked.

Without needing the Seventh Elder's response, everyone had already guessed!

An elder looked up at the sky and murmured, “There's no Pill Tribulation, it seems there are no Emperor Grade Divinity Transforming Dans.”

Mu Xingzhi sighed quietly, “Little Uncle Master has already refined so many Emperor Grades, yet there are no signs of Emperor Grade. Perhaps the Pill Tribulation is really just a legend!”

Li Cheng looked at everyone and shook his head slightly, “Emperor Grade is not something you can simply refine.”

“Oh? Why is that?” Mu Xingzhi asked curiously.

Li Cheng smiled, “You should all retreat a kilometer away, you'll know soon enough!”

Speaking, Li Cheng looked towards the Purple Void Jade Emperor's Tripod, “Release the seal!”

Indeed, the power fluctuations of these pills had been locked by the formation and aura of the Purple Void Jade Emperor's Tripod, preventing the pills' power from leaking out.

As his voice faded, everyone distinctly sensed countless waves of spiritual energy emanating from the pills!

In the next moment, it seemed as if something special had happened in the sky!

“The laws of heaven and earth are becoming more active, the Pill Tribulation is coming!” Old Hei instinctively took a few steps back, far away.

To Loose Immortals, there was an unspoken fear of lightning tribulations, even if it was just a minor Pill Tribulation.

It was like those who feared snakes, they would be afraid whether they encountered a big snake or a small snake, the same principle.

The laws of heaven and earth became increasingly active. Even the elders, whose cultivation levels were below the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, sensed it and promptly retreated.

Li Cheng stood still, looking up at the sky, then at the more than ten thousand Spirit Transforming Dans, knowing well that after a while, hardly one in ten would remain.

“I understand now!”

Suddenly, the Seventh Elder cried out in surprise, then said: “Emperor Grade Spirit Pills can indeed invoke a Pill Tribulation, and surviving the Pill Tribulation will transform them into Emperor Grade!”

“So Little Uncle Master was right to say that Emperor Grade is not something you refine; it is formed through crossing the Pill Tribulation!”

Hearing the Seventh Elder's words, the First Elder became solemn, “In that case, we should collect the other Divinity Transforming Dans first, otherwise when the Pill Tribulation descends, wouldn't many be destroyed?”

Mu Xingzhi's face was radiant with joy, “Little Uncle Master must have thought of that, but since he isn't collecting them, he must have his reasons. What we should be excited about now is… hehe!”

At his words, everyone thought of their previous speculations, feelings of joy surging within them.

The Pill Tribulation was brewing. How far could Little Uncle Master's Heaven Tribulation be?

With Little Uncle Master still in the midst, once the Pill Tribulation descended, it would likely transform into a Heaven Tribulation in just a few seconds!

Everyone seemed to have already envisioned the scene of Little Uncle Master crossing the tribulation!

Having overcome the Heaven Tribulation, one would sense the day of their ascension.

It was usually about a month or so, the longest being one or two years.

Overall, Little Uncle Master's ascension was imminent!

Mu Xingzhi took out the Array Plate, “Once Little Uncle Master decides to leave the sect to face the tribulation, we cannot be careless. We'll immediately activate the Mountain Protection Array to make sure the residual force of the Heaven Tribulation doesn't affect the sect.”

Everyone nodded in unison.

Just then, a powerful fluctuation suddenly emerged in the sky, with a vast oppressive force sweeping across!

At this moment, everyone looked up at the sky to see thick clouds rapidly gathering from all directions!

The wind, appearing out of nowhere, gently lifted all the pills skyward.
