Chapter 1823 Refining the Lone Sun Essence
There is no time to cultivate immortality.
When Zhang Xuan finally stopped his alchemy incantation, what floated before him were thirty-six eighth-order golden pills refined by the Taiqing Creation Diagram.
The categories cover major areas such as time and space, cause and effect, fate, life and death, reincarnation, void, time, existence, etc., and each one exudes a Daoist charm that makes people's hearts tremble.
"The number of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals... is complete."
Zhang Xuan stood up, his eyes flashing with a restrained glint, his aura growing increasingly profound.
Refining thirty-six eighth-order spirit pills in succession not only officially brought his alchemy skills to the level of an eighth-order alchemist, but also gave him a deeper understanding of the laws of time and space, cause and effect, life and death through repeated contact with the Dao traces.
Without hesitation, he consumed the Karma-Slaying Golden Pill, and a large amount of residual Taiyi Daoist essence on his path to immortality was absorbed.
The Immortal Path widened, and the Tree of the Great Dao became even more solid.
Although he is still in the late stage of True Immortal, his solid foundation and profound Daoist charm are no less than those of many peak True Immortals.
Next, he took the Time-Reversing Life Golden Pill again.
The last crack on the path to immortality was completely healed under the nourishment of the original essence of the Time-Space Reversal Golden Elixir, and even became more resilient and expansive as a result of the misfortune.
"Hahaha... I thought it would take a hundred years to recover, but it's only been a few decades and my injuries are completely healed!" Zhang Xuan was extremely pleased.
Two supreme treasures obtained from the Burial Heaven Divine Palace floated in front of him.
On the left is a drop of pale liquid, suspended in the void, exuding the purest and most extreme Yang energy – the Lone Yang Source Liquid.
This liquid is neither water nor fire, but a manifestation of the Dao of Solitary Yang. It is the essence of the collapsed and condensed Dao of Yang after the fall of a Taiyi-level being.
Even a trace of it would burn away the soul of an ordinary cultivator, but if one's foundation is strong enough, one can use it to perfect the Great Dao of Yang.
On the right is a constantly changing scroll depicting the collapse of the heavens and the return of all worlds to nothingness.
Stars fell, the world was annihilated, all living beings perished, and the laws of nature collapsed.
It is the Burial of Heaven scroll.
This diagram contains the essence of the Dao of Ending, and it resonates faintly with Zhang Xuan's Burial of Immortals Foundation. If one can comprehend and refine it, it will surely elevate the Great Dao of Burial of Immortals to a higher level and touch upon the true meaning of Burial of Heaven.
"First, refine the Lone Yang Source Liquid to temper the Golden Crow's main trunk."
Zhang Xuan took a deep breath and his gaze fell on the drop of pale white liquid.
The Golden Crow Main Branch is one of his three main branches, primarily cultivating the True Fire of the Sun and the Path of Ultimate Nirvana.
"Use chaos as the furnace, and the path to immortality as the guide, to refine!"
Zhang Xuan held his hands in a cupped gesture, and his chaotic divine sea suddenly surged.
The main trunk of the Dijiang River is located in the center, permeated with chaotic Daoist energy, transforming into an invisible chaotic furnace that envelops the Lone Yang Origin Liquid within.
Meanwhile, along the Immortal Path, countless Great Dao runes flowed, transforming into a catalyst that slowly drew in the Lone Yang Origin Liquid.
"The golden crow emerges!"
With a thought, Zhang Xuan's golden crow trunk materialized behind him.
It was a trunk that was entirely dark gold in color, with the Dao patterns of the True Fire of the Sun branded on its surface, and the faint phantom of a golden crow hovering at the top of the trunk.
Although it was an illusory image, it exuded a magnificent and oppressive aura capable of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas.
"melt!"
Zhang Xuan pointed his finger, and the Lone Yang Origin Liquid transformed into a pale white stream of light, flying towards the main trunk of the Golden Crow.
The moment the two come into contact.
"boom--!!!"
An indescribably terrifying Daoist aura erupted!
The main trunk of the Golden Crow trembled violently as the dark golden true fire of the sun and the pale white primordial liquid of the solitary sun collided and merged fiercely.
The sun's true fire is extremely yang and strong, burning away all things.
The Lone Yang Source Liquid represents the ultimate annihilation of Yang, leaving not even ashes after it is burned away; it is the complete extinction of Lone Yang.
Two different types of Yang Dao principles, though of the same origin, clashed violently within Zhang Xuan's body.
"puff!"
Zhang Xuan spat out a mouthful of golden blood, which turned into golden flames in mid-air and burned away completely.
His physical body began to undergo terrifying changes.
Countless fine cracks appeared on the surface of the skin, and instead of blood, golden flames and pale white light gushed out from the cracks.
The inner world was being burned by two kinds of yang fire.
The Golden Crow's main trunk is connected to his divine soul, and at this moment, the conflict between the two yang energies is directly impacting his primordial spirit.
Above the primordial spirit, golden flames intertwined with pale flowing light.
The inner vision crumbled, the Dharma image became illusory, the foundation of the Dao wavered, and the spirit and soul were eroded.
This is the inevitable tribulation that must be overcome in refining the Lone Yang Origin Liquid!
Zhang Xuan endured the excruciating pain and frantically urged the main trunk of the Emperor River.
The chaotic Daoist aura permeated the air, forcibly intervening in the conflict between the Golden Crow Main Body and the Lone Yang Origin Liquid, attempting to reconcile the two.
However, the level of the Lone Yang Origin Liquid was too high. Although the Chaotic Daoist Rhyme could barely suppress it, it could not completely harmonize it.
"This can't go on..." Zhang Xuan's consciousness began to blur.
Just then, deep within his inner world, the immortal path glowed faintly.
A faint, ancient Taoist charm flowed out.
This wisp of Daoist charm does not belong to any Dao in the present world, but comes from the lingering charm of the ancient immortal path. It quietly merges into the chaotic Daoist charm.
A miracle happened.
Under the blessing of the lingering charm of the Immortal Path, the chaotic Dao rhythm underwent a qualitative change, transforming into a state of primordial chaos. It forcefully separated the True Fire of the Sun and the Lone Yang Source Liquid, and then slowly guided the two to begin an orderly fusion using chaos as a medium.
"it works!"
Zhang Xuan's spirits lifted, and he focused his mind, cooperating with the guidance of the primordial chaos Dao rhythm.
The process is still painful, but it is no longer a chaotic conflict.
The main trunk of the Golden Crow has begun to transform.
On the dark gold surface of the main stem, pale white Lone Sun Dao patterns emerged, intertwining with the original Sun True Fire Dao patterns to form a brand new Lone Sun True Fire Dao base.
The golden crow phantom at the top of the main trunk is also undergoing a transformation.
The original three-legged golden crow phantom actually lost one leg and transformed into a two-legged golden crow under the tempering of the pale white solitary sun Dao aura!
The two-legged golden crow is the highest manifestation of the sun's origin in ancient legends, symbolizing the ultimate form of the Yang Dao—the solitary sun!
"Wow—!"
The two-legged golden crow cried out, its voice no longer simply conveying a majestic power, but also a sense of aloofness and solitude.
The resounding cry seemed to freeze time for a moment within Zhang Xuan's inner world.
Immediately afterwards, the main trunk of the Golden Crow underwent a complete transformation.
The main body was transformed into a mixture of dark gold and pale white, with intricate and profound Dao patterns, radiating the terrifying pressure of the Lone Yang True Fire.
This fire possesses both the power of the true fire of the sun to incinerate all things and the desolate and annihilating nature of the primordial liquid of the solitary yang.
Once activated, the flames will burn away all intangible things such as time, space, and cause and effect.
"It's done!"
Zhang Xuan let out a long sigh of relief, and the flames and light surging around him slowly subsided.
He opened his eyes, and gold and white colors swirled within them. His left eye was a dark gold like the moon, while his right eye was pale like the sun. The opening and closing of his eyes resembled the rising and falling of the sun.
"The main trunk of the Golden Crow has reached the perfect state of the solitary sun."
He felt the powerful, solitary yang fire within his body, and a surge of heroic spirit welled up within him.
With this fire within him, he would be able to fight even a powerful enemy like a Golden Immortal!
After refining the Lone Yang Source Liquid, Zhang Xuan spent three days recuperating to restore his peak condition.
