Chapter 1927: Chapter 2024: The Burden of the Transcendent

The Ancient Demon Ridge has returned to the distance, but the surrounding terrain has greatly changed. After all, the Four Great Exotic Beasts and the First Generation Demon Saint fought here before. If it weren’t for the Kunpeng swallowing the entire Ancient Demon Ridge into its belly, it might have long ceased to exist.

The first thing Fang Lin did upon returning to the Ancient Demon Ridge was to check on Dugu Nian and the others. He found them to be as before, only weaker, but fortunately, there was nothing seriously wrong.

At this moment, Fang Lin took out the Universe Creation Furnace from his pouch. The pills inside had long since been refined, but the sudden appearance of the First Generation Demon Saint had left Fang Lin with no time to administer them to Dugu Nian and the others.

Now that things were resolved, Fang Lin naturally wanted them to take the pills immediately to see if they would have any effect.

As for what had happened before, Dugu Nian and the demons of the Ancient Demon Ridge were not quite clear. After all, they had been inside the Kunpeng’s belly, completely oblivious to the turbulence outside.

Fang Lin merely gave a brief account of the events between the Four Great Exotic Beasts and the First Generation Demon Saint, focusing more on whether the pills could have miraculous effects.

After administering the pills to everyone, Fang Lin stayed in the cave. Although he was confident in his pills, given it was a matter of life and death for Dugu Nian and the others, there was still some worry during the waiting process.

While Fang Lin was in the cave, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven sat once more before the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, continuing to absorb its power.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven had vaguely sensed that he might achieve an unimaginable enhancement with the strength of the Sacred Tree. However, it was still uncertain how far he could reach, but the Great Sage Equal to Heaven certainly wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

During these ten days, Fang Lin stayed in the cave, watching over Dugu Nian and the others. In the first few days, there was no change, but by the eighth day, after Fang Lin administered life-supplementing pills, vitality began to accumulate within them, unlike before when it couldn’t be retained.

Though some vitality still dissipated, it wasn’t completely irretrievable, which was a good start, much to Fang Lin’s delight.

In the following days, Dugu Nian and the others improved day by day, and when they took the life-supplementing pills again, not a trace of vitality escaped, all retained within them.

With this, Fang Lin’s anxious heart was finally at ease.

The problem that had worried Fang Lin for so long was finally resolved, and there was no longer any threat to the lives of Dugu Nian and the others.

Of course, having suffered such severe injuries, although Fang Lin saved their lives, they would still need a long period of recovery before they could fully recover.

With the issue of Dugu Nian and his group resolved, Fang Lin finally had time to consider what to do with the items left by the Four Great Exotic Beasts.

Dragon Core, Phoenix Blood, Kylin Horn, and Kunpeng Demon Core.

These were the most valuable things from the Four Great Exotic Beasts, far surpassing those so-called rare treasures. Fang Lin was likely the first to collect all four, previously no one had ever obtained them all.

These four treasures were extremely rare, only the Four Great Exotic Beasts could produce them, and it would be difficult to find another set even if one traveled the world.

If it weren’t for the simultaneous summon of the Four Great Exotic Beasts by the golden-haired dog, Fang Lin couldn’t have received such a great gift.

As for how to handle them, it had become Fang Lin’s current dilemma. These four items were so precious that using them hastily would be a waste.

Fang Lin consulted the Great Sage Equal to Heaven for advice, who looked at him oddly and replied, "You’re a Pill Refiner, yet you can’t handle this?"

It was truly a wake-up call. Fang Lin himself had been confused, always thinking about using the four items for cultivation or improving his physique, but not considering pill refining.

After all, using these four items for pill refining was incredibly extravagant. There likely wasn’t anything more precious for pill refining in the world.

Having decided to use the four items for pill refining, Fang Lin had to prepare thoroughly. This might be the most challenging pill he would attempt after refining the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill.

Fortunately, he didn’t have to worry about the Pill Furnace, as the Universe Creation Furnace was the finest in the world, perfect for refining these four items.

For a better place to refine pills, Fang Lin went deep underground, intending to refine pills near the Earth’s core.

After a full month of preparation, Fang Lin informed the Great Sage Equal to Heaven before starting directly.

Deep underground, Fang Lin excavated a vast space, with magma below ready to surge upwards.

Fang Lin took out the Universe Creation Furnace and placed the Dragon Core, Phoenix Blood, and other items into the furnace, then released the flames.

This pill refining was unlike any before. Even Fang Lin himself didn’t know what kind of pill would be produced, but he was certain that once successful, it would surely be a pill surpassing the ninth grade.

After all, this time Fang Lin was refining with Dragon Core, Phoenix Blood, Kylin Horn, and Kunpeng Demon Core. None of those ninth-grade pills needed such materials.

While refining, Fang Lin pondered over the last words of the Four Great Exotic Beasts, especially regarding the concept of transcendence.

Fang Lin, as a so-called transcendent being, only his soul was transcendent. His lifespan was endless, but he could still be killed.

On the other hand, the mysterious Ancients of Mountain Tu, despite having transcendent physical strength, lacked eternal life. Once their lifespan was exhausted, their soul would still wither.

Both lacked the other’s abilities. If Fang Lin’s body also transcended, he would surpass the Ancients of Mountain Tu, achieving both immortality and unparalleled strength.

In other words, if the Ancients of Mountain Tu obtained the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill in Fang Lin’s soul, they would become a complete transcendent, untouchable and unrivaled.

The Ancients of Mountain Tu always sought to make all beings return to Mountain Tu, manipulating everything by their will.

For all beings, this meant catastrophe. Returning to Mountain Tu equaled the death of all living things.

From Xuanyuan Ya’s time, countless ancestors worked hard to buy time for a transcendent being to emerge.

As for why it was Fang Lin, perhaps it was predestined in the unseen realm.

In the deep sea, Qi Liansheng hid inside a giant shell, silently meditating.

Suddenly, Qi Liansheng sensed a disturbance, and his Heavenly Eye opened to look outside the shell.

"What?" Qi Liansheng’s expression turned to panic, as if he had seen something extremely shocking.
