Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Awakening
"Buzz!"
In the endless high sky, the sea of clouds surged wildly, and the grand momentum followed, boiling up.
A dense network of purple lightning interwove, exuding an astonishing might of tribulation, causing everyone in Su City to feel a chill run up their spines involuntarily.
At a certain moment, when this terrifying tribulation’s might reached a peak level.
"Boom!"
Finally, the purple lightning roared with an earth-shattering sound, and then, carrying a terrifying power as if it could destroy the world, it struck down forcefully.
The terror of a Ninth Grade Pill Tribulation far exceeded the imagination of many.
After all, Ninth Grade Elixirs are rare across the world, and the celestial tribulation they summon is naturally not simple.
To make a comparison, it is akin to the celestial tribulation summoned when a cultivator breaks through to the Void Realm.
"Buzz... buzz... buzz..."
The space trembled incessantly, and the boundless momentum surged around.
Purple lightning, like a giant dragon, dived down, seemed to lock onto a location within the Yu Family, pressing down fiercely, making the entire heavens and earth lose its color, covered by infinite purple glow.
"Hoo!"
Suddenly, a streak of golden light flashed and soared through the sky, flying out from a room within the Yu Family.
It ascended into the sky, instantly appearing in mid-air above the Yu Family, and under the gaze of all eyes, the golden light transformed into a young figure, none other than Ji Chen!
This was the Dao Body manifested by his Spiritual Power, not his true form. Ji Chen intended to confront and fend off the tribulation with this Dao Body, to truly form the pill afterward!
"It’s actually a Spiritual Body!"
Such a scene left the two masters, Wu Sheng and Qian Bai, within the Yu Family, in utter shock, with astonishment written all over their faces.
Manifesting a Dao Body with Spiritual Power is something ordinary alchemists simply cannot achieve, even most Ninth Grade alchemists do not possess such capability.
Only those with spiritual power strength far beyond imagination could manage such a feat!
This indicates that Ji Chen’s spiritual power strength far exceeded what they had expected!
This isn’t just a simple Ninth Grade alchemist; it’s a high level within the Ninth Grade, potentially an existence capable of becoming a Saint Grade Alchemist.
Looking across the entire Daoxuan Star Realm, there’s absolutely no contemporary Saint Grade Alchemist to be found in the vast starscape.
This means that Ji Chen before us is the only existence qualified to strive for becoming a Saint Grade Alchemist.
How old is he?
In his twenties...
At such an age, with such attainment in Alchemy Dao, it’s beyond what the word "terrifying" could describe; it’s defying the very heavens!
"Extinguish!"
Under the gaze of many, Ji Chen’s Spiritual Body let out a fierce shout.
Then, he clenched his fist tightly, his body dashing forward, and punched towards the descending purple lightning.
"Boom!"
A mighty sound erupted, shaking the heavens and earth, as if the entire world boiled at that moment.
The boundless momentum surged, resembling the derivation of Chaotic Ancestral Qi.
Before everyone’s eyes, the purple lightning was directly shattered and disintegrated by Ji Chen’s punch, turning into countless tiny sparks of lightning, eventually vanishing into the void, as if it had never appeared.
"Buzz!"
The terrifying sea of purple lightning that enveloped the sky above Su City began to dissipate swiftly, and the world returned to its usual brightness.
Ji Chen’s Spiritual Body also returned to his true form.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in front of the Alchemy Furnace, and as his Spiritual Body returned to his true form, he slowly opened his eyes.
Simultaneously, the Pill Fire within the Pill Furnace also gradually diminished, and its temperature abruptly dropped.
The rich aroma of the elixir wafted, almost permeating throughout the entire Yu Family.
This aroma, with a vigorous vitality, invigorated anyone who inhaled it significantly.
"Master Ji, did you succeed?"
Yu Zhijing and several others had been waiting outside for days, and seeing Ji Chen step out of the room, they immediately approached and couldn’t help but ask.
Ji Chen smiled, extended his hand forward, then opened his palm.
A thumb-sized golden elixir appeared in his palm.
Looking closely, one could see the elixir’s rounded form, emitting a faint glow, with fine lines seemingly etched on its surface, emanating a unique aura, as if enveloped by the Great Dao, giving a rather extraordinary impression.
"This is a Ninth Grade Elixir..."
The two masters, Wu Sheng and Qian Bai, both displayed expressions of excitement.
They had never truly seen a Ninth Grade Elixir, but they had read many records about it in ancient texts.
It is said that this kind of elixir is not just something to be ingested; it possesses lethal power, being enveloped by the laws of the Great Dao. If it detonates, everything within a dozen miles would be reduced to flat ground, not unlike the self-detonation of a Semi-Saint weapon.
Soon, Ji Chen, with the elixir, and Yu Zhijing and the others came to the room of the Yu Family’s ancestor.
He handed the elixir to Yu Yuanshan, who then fed it to the Yu Family’s patriarch.
"Master Ji, when will the Myriad Calamities Pill take effect?" After the elixir was administered, the crowd waited quietly, and after a brief moment, Yu Zhijing couldn’t help but ask.
Ji Chen stated plainly, "Barring any unforeseen circumstances, in another quarter of an hour, the old patriarch of the Yu Family should awaken, but for all injuries within to heal completely, it will take a full month, once the Myriad Calamities Pill’s effects are fully absorbed."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhijing’s face lit up with joy; evidently, the effects of the Myriad Calamities Pill far exceeded his expectations.
Not only would it heal all internal injuries of the Yu Family’s patriarch, but it would also awaken him quickly.
These were injuries that even masters Wu Sheng and Qian Bai had researched for days without a solution.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Soon, after another quarter of an hour passed.
Under the watchful waiting of the crowd, finally, the Yu Family’s patriarch lying on the bed showed a reaction.
He did not awaken, but coughed lightly several times.
Upon seeing this, everyone hurriedly moved closer.
"Pfft!"
The next moment, the patriarch of the Yu Family coughed up black blood, then regained consciousness, slowly opening his eyes.
"Grandfather!"
Yu Yuanshan and his son rejoiced greatly, rushing to his side immediately.
"Zhijing... Yuanshan..."
The Yu Family’s patriarch spoke softly, his eyes carrying a hint of confusion, but his complexion had palpably improved as he asked in a weak voice, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"About half a month," Yu Zhijing replied.
Yu Yuanshan also inquired, "Grandfather, how do you feel now?"
"Very warm, as if there’s a breath of air moving within, nurturing my whole body." He seemed to have regained much strength, even his voice turned more normal.
