Chapter 333: Nine Revolutions Purple Golden Pill, Immovable Nether King Body

A Medium Grade Emperor Rank emperor weapon—the Nine Nether Burning Heaven Locks. Although it had been sliced in half by Zhou Chen, it was still priceless once repaired.

A Top-Grade Emperor Rank Cultivation Technique—the "Flame Emperor Burning Heaven Art"—was one of the Jiang Family's cornerstone techniques.

There was also an ancient Jade Slip that recorded the location of the Jiang Family's ancestral land and some secret information.

"Jiang Family's ancestral land?"

A cold glint flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes.

The Jiang Family had caused such heavy losses during their siege of the Taichu Holy Land this time; he would settle this score sooner or later.

But now was not the time.

The Taichu Holy Land had just undergone a great war and was in a state of ruin, needing time to recover.

Furthermore, the Jiang Family was one of the Middle Six Clans after all, with deep Foundations. Attacking them prematurely would only result in more loss than gain.

"It won't be too late to settle things with the Jiang Family once the Taichu Holy Land's reconstruction is complete and our strength has increased further."

Zhou Chen put away the Jade Slip and continued counting the other items.

Just then, a knock came from outside the door.

"Saint, the Taichu Old Ancestor requests your presence."

It was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Taichu Holy Land.

Zhou Chen nodded, stood up, and walked out of the side hall.

Deep within the Taichu Holy Land, there was a secret Immortal Cave.

This was where the Taichu Old Ancestor cultivated in seclusion; rarely could anyone enter.

Zhou Chen entered the Immortal Cave and saw the Taichu Old Ancestor sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat, eyes slightly closed, breathing steadily.

Although he had been severely injured before, he now looked to have recovered seventy to eighty percent.

"Grandmaster."

Zhou Chen bowed.

The Taichu Old Ancestor opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Chen, a flash of gratification in his gaze.

"Zhou Chen, it's all thanks to you this time, otherwise the Taichu Holy Land would have been wiped out."

Zhou Chen shook his head.

"It's what this Disciple should do."

The Taichu Old Ancestor sighed.

"Although we repelled the Jiang Family's siege this time, they won't let it go."

"As one of the Middle Six Clans of the Emperor Clans, the Jiang Family has deep Foundations. What they lost this time was only some peripheral forces."

"They haven't used their true trump cards yet."

Zhou Chen frowned.

"Does Grandmaster mean that the Jiang Family has even stronger existences?"

The Taichu Old Ancestor nodded.

"Correct."

"The Jiang Family has an Ancient Prodigy named Jiang Beichen, a peerless Genius from thousands of years ago."

"Back then, he cultivated to the Fifth Layer of the Emperor Realm and swept through his generation without a rival, hailed as the Flame Clan's strongest Prodigy in a thousand years."

"Later, in order to Breakthrough to a higher Realm, he chose to Seal himself and has been in slumber until now."

"If the Jiang Family awakens him, that will be the real trouble."

A hint of gravity flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes.

An Ancient Prodigy at the Fifth Layer of the Emperor Realm?

That was indeed a big problem.

Prodigies of the ancient era cultivated more profound techniques and mastered more powerful secret arts; their combat power far exceeded modern Cultivators.

Moreover, the opponent was at the Fifth Layer of the Emperor Realm, two whole Realms higher than Zhou Chen.

"But you don't need to worry too much."

The Taichu Old Ancestor saw through Zhou Chen's thoughts and said with a smile.

"Jiang Beichen although powerful, awakening him requires a massive price."

"Furthermore, he has slept for thousands of years. Even if he awakens, he will need time to adapt to this era."

"This period of time is our opportunity."

Zhou Chen nodded.

"This Disciple understands."

"Next, I plan to go into seclusion for a while to strive for a further increase in strength."

A flash of surprise appeared in the Taichu Old Ancestor's eyes.

"You only recently broke through to the Third Layer of the Emperor Realm; you're going into seclusion again so soon?"

"In the path of cultivation, haste makes waste. You must be careful of an unstable Foundation."

Zhou Chen shook his head.

"Rest assured, Grandmaster, I know what I'm doing."

"This seclusion is mainly to consolidate my Realm and, while I'm at it, Cultivate a secret art."

The Taichu Old Ancestor pondered for a moment and finally nodded.

"Very well, just manage it yourself."

"By the way, this is a Medicinal Pill I obtained in my youth. Take it and use it."

Saying that, he took a jade bottle from his robes and handed it to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen took the jade bottle and opened it, seeing a purple-gold Medicinal Pill lying inside.

Mysterious patterns flowed over the surface of the pill, emitting a dense medicinal fragrance.

"Is this… the Nine Revolutions Purple Golden Pill?"

Zhou Chen's eyes widened.

The Nine Revolutions Purple Golden Pill, a Top-Grade Emperor Rank Medicinal Pill. After consumption, it can significantly increase one's cultivation without any side effects.

This kind of pill was extremely rare; even experts of the Emperor Realm found it difficult to obtain.

"Correct, I obtained this in an ancient ruin back then."

The Taichu Old Ancestor smiled.

"I originally planned to save it for when I broke through to the Venerable Realm, but now it seems you need it more than I do."

Zhou Chen was silent for a moment before solemnly putting away the jade bottle.

"Thank you, Grandmaster."

"I will remember this kindness."

The Taichu Old Ancestor waved his hand.

"You are the pride of the Taichu Holy Land, no need to be polite."

"Go, go into seclusion and strive for an early Breakthrough."

After bowing, Zhou Chen turned and left the Immortal Cave.

Returning to his residence, Zhou Chen set up dozens of Formations outside his Immortal Cave to ensure he wouldn't be disturbed.

Then he sat cross-legged and began his seclusion.

First, he took out the Nine Revolutions Purple Golden Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

The pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth, turning into a stream of pure energy that flowed through the Meridians in his body.

Zhou Chen quickly activated the Great Void Eight Desolations Formless Scripture, guiding this energy to temper his Physical Body and consolidate his Realm.

The power of the Azure Lotus Creation Body, the power of the Great Void Eight Desolations Formless Scripture, the power of the great sun dao bone, and the power of the Law of Severance all erupted.

Countless streams of energy intertwined within his body, eventually converging into a terrifying force.

Time passed minute by minute.

The medicinal power of the Nine Revolutions Purple Golden Pill had been completely absorbed. His cultivation was more stable, and he was one step closer to the Fourth Layer of the Emperor Realm.

This force broke through the Meridians and surged toward the Dantian, condensing into a black mark there.

An ancient character was inscribed on the mark—Nether.

Boom!

A terrifying pressure erupted from Zhou Chen's body, causing the entire Immortal Cave to tremble.

The Formations outside the Immortal Cave shattered one after another, unable to withstand this force.

In the sky, a massive black phantom suddenly appeared.

It was a ten-thousand-foot tall nether king phantom, wearing black armor and holding a massive scythe, emitting an aura that could destroy heaven and earth.

The eighth layer of the Pluto Seal—the Immovable Nether King Body!

Zhou Chen had succeeded!

The entire Taichu Holy Land was alarmed by this pressure.

Countless Disciples looked up at the sky, their eyes full of shock.

"Is that… Saint Zhou's Immortal Cave?"

"What a terrifying aura, even stronger than before!"

"Did that kid Zhou Chen have another Breakthrough?"

On the main peak, Dao Xuan opened his eyes and looked toward Zhou Chen's Immortal Cave, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

"That kid really is a monster."

"He's only been in seclusion for a month and already has another Breakthrough."

"But this aura… seems a bit off."

Dao Xuan's brow furrowed slightly.

He felt that the aura emanating from Zhou Chen carried a scent of death and destruction.

This didn't seem like the aura a Righteous Path Cultivation Technique should have.

"Could he have Cultivated some wicked secret art?"

Dao Xuan was somewhat worried.

But soon, that aura disappeared.

The nether king phantom in the sky also dissipated.

Zhou Chen's Immortal Cave returned to peace.
