Chapter 2307 Chen Li Advances to Late-Stage Celestial Immortal, Sword Tomb Opens
boom!
The terrifying pressure of a late-stage Celestial Immortal continuously erupted from the golden flames.
Chen Xuan stood quietly to the side, not disturbing Chen Li's cultivation.
More than an hour later, the aura of a late-stage Celestial Immortal emanating from Chen Li finally stabilized completely.
Soon, the golden flame vanished rapidly.
The golden firebird, the size of a fist, in the center of the flames, joyfully flapped its wings and swooped towards Chen Xuan.
"Greetings, Master! Hehe, I've successfully advanced to the late stage of Celestial Immortal!"
Chen Li said excitedly.
Chen Xuan smiled happily.
In that instant, he felt that his cultivation level had not improved because of Chen Li's improvement.
This also means that Chen Li's advancement did not fail to provide him with a boost to his cultivation, but rather that the bottleneck Chen Xuan himself encountered was not resolved.
This prevented his cultivation level from improving.
"What a pity. I wasted the opportunity to replenish my cultivation. If it were me, my cultivation bottleneck would have been resolved long ago. Perhaps, with Chen Li's cultivation replenishment, I could have reached the Great Perfection of the late-stage Celestial Immortal realm!" Chen Xuan thought to himself.
Soon, Chen Xuan smiled and looked at Chen Li.
"Congratulations. Your cultivation went quite smoothly this time. However, it seems that you refined the Glazed Heavenly Fire Pearl this time, and things are a bit different from before!"
Chen Xuan looked Chen Li up and down, his expression full of doubt.
He could clearly sense that the bloodline within Chen Li, which was incredibly pure and radiated terrifying vitality, was significantly stronger than before.
"Hehe, after refining the Glazed Heavenly Fire Pearl this time, the Phoenix Essence Blood within me has increased considerably. Naturally, the vitality within me has also become much more abundant!"
"However, the phoenix bloodline within me is still not strong enough. Therefore, I cannot use the Nirvana Rebirth talent ability!"
Chen Li explained earnestly.
Phoenix Nirvana!
This is the most powerful innate divine ability of the Phoenix Clan.
If Chen Lizhen could transform into a phoenix, then by unleashing her Nirvana Rebirth talent, she would practically be invincible.
The thought of having an invincible super strong person protecting him filled Chen Xuan with joy.
"Haha, then you'd better cultivate diligently and try to make the phoenix essence blood in your body more and more concentrated!" Chen Xuan laughed.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Xuan released his divine sense and carefully checked Chen Li's cultivation progress.
After confirming that Chen Li's cultivation was proceeding without any abnormalities, he gave Chen Li some more instructions before checking on the cultivation of the other demonic beasts.
Since the last time, when Chen Peng, Chen Chong, and Chen Xie activated the Dragon-Tiger-Leopard Banner and led thirty-two early-stage Celestial Immortal-level Gold-Devouring Insects to kill a Golden Immortal-level expert.
These three guys have been practicing using the Dragon, Tiger, and Leopard Flag recently.
When Chen Xuan arrived, Chen Peng, Chen Chong, and Chen Xie were training twelve early-stage Celestial Immortal Gold-Devouring Insects.
Each of the demonic beasts unleashed the full power of the main banner in its hand.
A hint of surprise appeared in Chen Xuan's eyes.
"It seems these three guys have been working quite hard lately."
Chen Xuan smiled slightly.
He waved to the group of demonic beasts.
Soon, all the demonic beasts appeared around Chen Xuan.
"I've met the master!"
All the monsters said in unison.
"Haha, you've worked hard. I've seen you train to control the Dragon, Tiger, and Leopard Flags, and you're getting stronger and more coordinated!"
"I'm afraid that in the future, if you really encounter a Golden Immortal in the early stages, you'll be able to handle it!"
Chen Xuan smiled with satisfaction.
The demon beasts were overjoyed to hear Chen Xuan's affirmation of their training.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Xuan sparred with the various demonic beasts once again.
After identifying the shortcomings in the training of the various demonic beasts and pointing out countermeasures, Chen Xuan returned to the side of the cold pool to continue his cultivation.
Several more years passed while waiting in the Immortal Beast Tower.
Chen Li's cultivation level was finally completely stabilized.
Chen Xuan planned to take this opportunity to refine the Jade Profound Pill.
Then, they would leave the pass to seek opportunities.
"Now, the opening of the Sword Tomb should not be far off. After I refine the Jade Profound Pill, I might as well go directly to the Sword Tomb!" Chen Xuan said softly.
Sword Tomb!
This is the most central place in Burial Sword Valley.
It is said that countless immortal swords belonging to true immortals have been left here throughout history.
It was precisely because of this that countless powerful immortal swords converged together, forming a vast and complex sword intent.
If a true immortal who enters the Sword Tomb can come out alive...
Each one of them will become a powerful and influential figure.
Back then, Li Xiaoyao became famous overnight after successfully emerging from the Sword Tomb.
Of course, these things were still too far away for Chen Xuan.
He intends to be down-to-earth.
First, I'll refine the Jade Profound Pill to help me overcome this bottleneck.
Wow!
With a thought, Chen Li swiftly appeared in front of Chen Xuan.
"I've met the master!"
Chen Li looked at Chen Xuandao with excitement.
At this moment, Chen Li's aura had completely stopped at the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.
However, this is due to the phoenix essence blood within its body.
Even Chen Xuan, who was at the same cultivation level, could feel the pressure Chen Li exerted on him.
"Hehe, your cultivation has been completely stabilized. This is a good thing for you!"
"Next, you should cultivate step by step. Once your cultivation reaches the late-stage Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm, you can try to break through to the Golden Immortal realm."
Chen Xuan's gaze swept over Chen Li, and he immediately smiled with satisfaction.
Upon hearing this, Chen Li's expression became quite excited.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will work hard in my cultivation and strive to advance to the Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible!" Chen Li said.
"Haha, that's excellent. However, there's one more thing I need your help with right now. I'm planning to refine some Jade Profound Pills."
"Don't worry, Master, I'm very familiar with this matter."
Chen Li nodded, excitedly flapped its wings, and hovered quietly to the side, waiting for Chen Xuan's summons.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan didn't say much.
In any case, the two have a great sense of chemistry.
Especially in matters of alchemy, Chen Xuan doesn't need to worry too much. Chen Li will definitely provide the assistance Chen Xuan needs most when it's most needed.
Wow!
With a casual wave of his hand, Chen Xuan took all the elixirs needed to refine the Jade Profound Pill.
To ensure success on the first try, Chen Xuan patiently went through the steps of refining the Jade Profound Pill once more.
After confirming that he had not overlooked any details, he then activated the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron.
hum!
Point your finger in the air.
The seven-colored cauldron slowly rotated in front of Chen Xuan.
Upon seeing this, Chen Li transformed into a ball of golden flame and began to burn beneath the Seven-Colored Cauldron.
In just a short while, the temperature inside the Seven-Colored Cauldron reached the optimal temperature for refining the Jade Profound Pill.
At this moment, Chen Xuan did not stop.
While casting mysterious spells towards the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron, he also used his divine sense to closely monitor the temperature changes inside the cauldron.
Only after the temperature inside the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron reached the optimal temperature for the Jade Profound Pill did Chen Xuan throw the prepared elixirs into the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron in order.
Wow!
Chen Xuan threw a magical herb directly into the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron.
In an instant, the terrifyingly high temperature burned the medicinal herb to ashes.
Only the purest medicinal essence transformed into an incomparably pure droplet, spinning endlessly at the bottom of the seven-colored cauldron.
Chen Xuan ignored all of this.
He calmly manipulated the Seven-Colored Cauldron.
Following the alchemy steps, a medicinal herb was added every so often.
After waiting for just over an hour, the slowly rotating seven-colored cauldron suddenly emitted a buzzing sound.
The tightly sealed lid of the seven-colored cauldron was trembling violently.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan's hand gestures changed rapidly.
Soon, the tightly sealed lid of the cauldron opened by itself with a snap.
The twelve pills inside came out one after another at a rapid speed.
Chen Xuan ignored all of this.
He sat cross-legged in place with a calm gaze.
At that very moment, a ball of pill tribulation, several tens of feet in size, suddenly enveloped the freshly made pill.
The lightning crackled and struck the pills relentlessly, a sight that sent chills down the spines of onlookers.
After this situation persisted for half an hour, the calamity finally dissipated.
Chen Xuan grabbed the twelve pills in his palm.
Among the twelve pills, one pill had five pill-path patterns on its surface.
One of them was a Dao-level alchemy rune, while the remaining four were ordinary alchemy runes.
The rest consisted of high-level alchemy runes, plus three ordinary alchemy runes.
This also means that one of the Jade Profound Pills that Chen Xuan refined this time is a top-grade Dao-level pill.
The remaining eleven are all of the highest grade Dao level.
"Haha, after Chen Li's cultivation improved, I actually managed to refine a high-grade Dao-level pill. It seems my alchemy skills have improved once again!"
Chen Xuan was very excited.
During this period, his alchemy skills stagnated.
After much thought, Chen Xuan concluded that the problem stemmed from his own lack of improvement in cultivation, as well as Chen Li's stagnant cultivation.
This time, Chen Li advanced to the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm, and his alchemy skills also made new breakthroughs.
For Chen Xuan, this was indeed a great thing to be happy about.
"Congratulations, master!"
Chen Li flapped his wings and congratulated him with a smile.
"Haha, Chen Li, my alchemy skills have improved thanks to you. You've worked hard, go and rest!"
Chen Xuan laughed and dismissed Chen Li.
He himself, however, carefully studied the Jade Profound Pill that he had just refined.
"The Jade Profound Pill that I refined is exactly the same as the description in the pill formula."
"If that's the case, I'll take one to try! Let's see if it can help me overcome this bottleneck!"
Chen Xuan was somewhat impatient.
With a flick of his wrist, Chen Xuan swallowed the top-grade Jade Profound Pill.
Wow!
The moment the Free and Unfettered Sword Technique was activated, Chen Xuan completely harnessed the medicinal power of the Jade Profound Pill.
And it quickly fell into various parts of the body.
Soon, the medicinal effects seemed to vanish into thin air.
Even when Chen Xuan pushed his divine sense to its limit, he couldn't sense any changes brought about by the Jade Profound Pill's medicinal power.
"Could it be that the Jade Profound Pill's ability to resolve bottlenecks is fake?"
Chen Xuan frowned.
If the Jade Profound Pill really can't break through the bottleneck, wouldn't all this effort be in vain?
After waiting for a long time, Chen Xuan, unwilling to give up, checked again.
Make sure you read it correctly.
After refining the Jade Profound Pill and finding that his body had no reaction whatsoever, he was immediately filled with frustration.
"Forget it, right now I can only hope that I can break through this bottleneck after I fight someone."
Chen Xuan said softly.
Thinking about how I had been in seclusion here for a long time.
The Sword Tomb opened just a few days later. Without hesitation, Chen Xuan packed up and disappeared in a streak of light.
……
More than ten days later, deep in the Burial Sword Valley, in a large canyon filled with flying swords, a piercing loud noise suddenly came.
Immediately afterwards, the protective array that had covered the entire Grand Canyon vanished into thin air.
The countless immortals who were waiting here were all excited upon seeing this.
"Look, the Sword Tomb has finally opened!"
