Seeing Chen Tian and Yao Yuan flee without a word, the Heavenly Dao of the Dark Realm was speechless. The two had destroyed the place and then left, with no intention of repairing it. This was not a battlefield. The Heavenly Dao looked at the lava on the ground and could only make a decision itself. The earth shook, and the lava gathered to form a giant volcano that continuously ascended. A sky-piercing volcano appeared, suppressing the lava from beneath.
This was the only solution the Heavenly Dao could think of. To repair the place would take him several years, and he also needed to stabilize the passage. He had no time to repair this or manage it. The Heavenly Dao looked at the distant sky and his figure disappeared. Chen Tian and Yao Yuan appeared in a forest in the north. Chen Tian and Yao Yuan sighed, "It's good that they didn't chase us. If we had to repair it, it would have taken years. I wouldn't want that!"
"Hahaha, just what I was thinking. But our duel is still undecided. What a shame."
"No shame. Did the Heavenly Dao chase us?"
"It seems not. I don't feel any Heavenly Dao aura. It looks like he didn't."
The two who were fighting moments ago had their relationship ease up. It was hard to understand these two oddballs. The Heavenly Dao's voice, as if nothing had happened, echoed, "You two, do you really think I can't find you? This is the Dark Realm. I know exactly where you are."
Chen Tian and Yao Yuan looked at each other, their eyes shining. The Heavenly Dao spoke, "Stop running. Don't worry, I won't make you two repair that place. I've already turned it into a forbidden zone. However, I must tell you both, you are not the spokespersons for the Heavenly Dao of this world. If I discover you two fighting, don't blame me for permanently closing the passage between your world and the Dark Realm."
"No, no, we'll be careful."
Chen Tian immediately conceded. If the passage were closed, it would be terrible. Chen Feng was still in the Dark Realm. They had to wait until Chen Tian woke up. Yao Yuan nodded. Both had their own reasons for being in the Dark Realm, and the passage could not be closed before they achieved their goals. Closing the passage would mean that their respective worlds could no longer enter the Dark Realm.
The Heavenly Dao of the Dark Realm was not joking. Looking at his gaze and expression, the Heavenly Dao said to Yao Yuan solemnly, "You are here for that sword. Give it up. That sword has not recognized a master yet."
"I want to try!"
Yao Yuan knew that what the Heavenly Dao said was true. He might not be able to get the sword, but he had to try.
"As you wish."
"Chen Tian, here are all the medicinal ingredients you wanted. Take these ingredients back and leave here with him. You are such a troublemaker."
The Heavenly Dao spoke fiercely. Chen Tian rubbed the back of his head, wondering how he was a troublemaker.
But upon closer thought, he had provoked the most powerful force in the Phantom Demon Continent, killed someone from the Heaven Annihilator Pavilion, and now the cultivators of the entire Dark Realm were after him. If the Heavenly Dao hadn't intervened, who knew how long this battle would have lasted.
The Heavenly Dao waved his hand, and countless medicinal ingredients floated before Chen Tian. Chen Tian recognized them as materials for refining pills. This meant Chen Feng had hope.
Chen Tian accepted the ingredients with both hands and said gratefully, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Take your people and leave here."
The Heavenly Dao was not polite at all. Chen Tian was too much of a troublemaker. The Heavenly Dao was certain that if Chen Tian stayed any longer, the entire Dark Realm would be turned upside down. Chen Tian looked at the Heavenly Dao and directly asked, "Heavenly Dao, I have a question for you."
"What is it?"
"Regarding the Evil Spirit Clan. Do you know about the Evil Spirit Clan that Chen Feng suppressed? Why didn't you help Chen Feng?"
"That is not within my jurisdiction. The Evil Spirit Clan is not within the Dark Realm passage. They are outsiders, and my authority is ineffective against them. As for the sealing and suppression back then, I did help Chen Feng."
The Heavenly Dao watched Chen Tian with a look of recollection. Back then, when Chen Feng and the Evil Spirit Clan came to the Dark Realm, it was a chaotic battle.
If it weren't for his cooperation with Chen Feng, Chen Feng might not have sealed the Evil Spirit Clan. Chen Tian clearly understood the Heavenly Dao's meaning and nodded. A portal appeared behind him. Yao Yuan was slightly shocked upon seeing this. A portal, conjured out of thin air?
Even as a spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, he couldn't create a portal in another world. He could only do so in his own world. Just how powerful was Chen Tian?
Did he forcibly open a portal, disregarding the rules of other world's Heavenly Dao?
Chen Tian stepped into the portal and disappeared from the sight of the Heavenly Dao and Yao Yuan. Yao Yuan knew that there was no point in staying any longer. After Chen Tian left, he also departed. The Heavenly Dao's figure scattered into countless lines, spreading in all directions. This matter was now concluded.
In the room where Chen Feng was, Chen Tian's portal opened, and he returned. Chen Tian hadn't expected the Heavenly Dao to directly provide all the materials he needed. It had only been a day. It seemed Chen Feng's recovery had hope. Chen Tian took out all the medicinal ingredients, including the three he had snatched at the auction.
Chen Tian's hands raised a silver-white flame. This flame was formed by Chen Tian integrating all elemental energies, even more powerful than the Universal Divine Fire. In front of the flame, Chen Tian threw all the medicinal ingredients into it at once.
Any alchemist who saw this would scold Chen Tian. This was not alchemy! This was a disaster. Alchemy required a furnace as a medium, that was common sense. The alchemy method Chen Tian used was the Heaven and Earth Alchemy Method, where Heaven and Earth served as the furnace. The entire room was like a giant alchemy furnace, and Chen Tian was the flame. Countless materials turned into countless drops of liquid under Chen Tian's flame. Chen Tian controlled all the colorful liquid drops with his mind, fusing them together.
The previous step was called extraction, where the precious medicinal properties were extracted from the ingredients, and unnecessary parts were removed. The principle that "medicine has a three-part poison" also applied to alchemy. However, for Chen Tian, his extraction was 100% effective, with no toxins. These liquid drops were pure medicinal efficacy. The second step was condensation, where all the medicinal drops were gathered to form a pill.
This step was very important. Why do you ask why Chen Tian knows alchemy? Ha! With memories from two lifetimes plus his time cultivating in the immortal world, wouldn't it be shameful if he didn't know alchemy?
The medicinal drops in Chen Tian's hands slowly fused together. This step was crucial and could not be rushed. Different medicinal properties required adaptation. Rushing would cause a conflict of medicinal properties, resulting in an explosion, commonly known as "furnace explosion."
The pill would be ruined. Chen Tian only had one set of materials and needed to take his time, ensuring no mistakes. This was Chen Tian's first time refining pills in this lifetime, which made him very steady, though with a hint of unfamiliarity.
After a long time, a faint fragrance emanated from the flame. A silver-white pill appeared in Chen Tian's hand. Chen Tian, sweating profusely, stopped his movements and sat at the table, panting, "When did refining pills become so exhausting?"
Chen Tian had never felt so tired. After all, he had to maintain mental tension. If he relaxed, the pill might fail. Chen Tian rested for a while, then approached Chen Feng and placed the pill into Chen Feng's mouth. The pill dissolved upon contact, so there was no fear of Chen Feng being unable to absorb it.
As it was placed in Chen Feng's mouth, the pill turned into liquid and flowed throughout Chen Feng's body. Chen Feng's injuries gradually healed, and at an increasingly rapid pace.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Chen Feng coughed a few times and slowly opened his eyes. Chen Tian appeared before him. Chen Feng looked at Chen Tian and said, "Chen Tian, is that you?"
"It's me."
"It's so good that you're alright. I thought the Divine Realm had been breached by the Evil Spirit Clan and I would never see you again."
"It's okay, brother. As long as I'm here, the Divine Realm is here."
Chen Tian looked at Chen Feng, and they embraced each other. Chen Feng coughed a few times. Chen Tian said with concern, "Your injuries are still recovering. Rest well on the bed for now. You will be needed later."
"Okay. How is the Divine Realm?"
Chen Tian did not speak in response to Chen Feng's question. He tapped Chen Feng's forehead, and all information about the Divine Realm entered Chen Tian's mind. Chen Feng accepted the memories Chen Tian imparted, and his expression changed dramatically.
He then sighed, "Is this the only way the Divine Realm can be saved?"
"Yes. I hope it's not now, but in the future."
Chen Feng became sorrowful. Chen Feng was unaware of what Chen Tian had done for the Divine Realm. When Chen Feng left, Chen Tian had just become the Divine Lord. Before the Divine Lord appeared, the Evil Spirit Clan had already made moves in the Divine Realm.
Chen Feng alone attracted the Evil Spirit Clan to buy time for Chen Tian's growth. But in the end, he couldn't defeat the Evil Spirit Clan?
