NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1155: Purple Gourd
Within the crowd, a burst of comments erupted once again.
Compared to Sun Wukong's attempt, Tangyu found it much more challenging.
However, Tangyu's determination was unbreakable, his willpower boundless. After a while, Tangyu finally felt the touch of something tangible, then exerted strength with his hand and astonishingly caught the moon. It felt cool and smooth, like a glass sphere. Holding the moon, Tangyu breathed a sigh of relief and let his mind calm down.
"What? He actually caught the moon?"
"This—he's an Evil Demon, it's terrifying, where on earth did these four come from? Why are they all so fearsome?"
"Who knows, nobody's heard of them before. This time, they might become famous."
"Could they really pull the moon out? Catching the moon from the well, could this legend actually become reality?"
All along, everyone assumed that catching the moon from the bottom of a well was just a legend and couldn't be true. Moreover, for thousands of millions of years, no one had truly pulled the moon out, making it hard to believe in the reality of this tale. But witnessing the performances of Sun Wukong and Tangyu today, people couldn't help but start to question whether this legend actually holds some truth.
An Immortal Artifact, the thought alone can drive one to madness. Even for a top Immortal Sect, an Immortal Artifact alone would be enough to uphold the sect. The might of an Immortal Artifact is terrifying, so terrifying that once activated, it can destroy heavens and earth, shattering the sky and sinking the land.
"Rise!" Tangyu shouted, veins bulging instantly, exerting all his might to pull the moon out.
Yet soon Tangyu realized it couldn't be moved at all, feeling as if an ordinary man tried to move a mountain—how could he move it? It wouldn't budge at all, the feeling was utterly uncomfortable.
Watching, Sun Wukong shook his head and said, "It's useless, Tangyu. If I, old Sun, can't move it, you certainly can't move it either, it's too heavy."
Tangyu shook his head as well, realizing it was impossible to move. Unless those destined by the Immortal Realm could pull the moon up, perhaps it'd require someone from the Immortal Realm to achieve such a feat to pull it out. But for Tangyu, it was impossible, so he had to give up. Tangyu wasn't really thinking of actually pulling the moon out, if it couldn't be done, just giving up wasn't bad; it was nothing.
Tangyu let go of the moon, and when he grabbed his hand into the well, he immediately caught something else, which delighted him: "Haha, indeed, it seems as long as one catches the moon, they can fish out treasures from the well. Brother Monkey fished out a Middle Grade Immortal Treasure, let's see what I can fish out. Judging by the feel, it's a gourd, not big, a very small gourd, what could this be?"
Quickly, Tangyu's hand came out of the well; his gaze fixed on his hand, finally seeing what he had. A palm-sized purple gourd, entirely purple, glowing, extremely beautiful. If it were a woman, she'd certainly like such a beautiful object. Holding it in his hand, Tangyu didn't feel this gourd had any significant power, feeling like just an ordinary gourd.
Tangyu's brows furrowed slightly: "Strange, why can't I sense what grade of treasure this purple gourd is? It feels like just a regular gourd, not even a Magic Artifact. Impossible, impossible, for it to stay at the bottom of this well for thousands of millions of years, it must be a treasure. Besides, one has never heard treasures lesser than Top Grade Spiritual Artifacts fished out from this well, at worst they should be Top Grade Spiritual Artifacts, and better ones are Daoist Artifacts."
"I managed to touch the moon, how could I not fish out a good treasure? But what exactly is this purple gourd?"
Tangyu was puzzled, and Xuanyuan Wushang along with the others stared at the purple gourd with a face of curiosity, clearly unable to decipher it. The purple gourd had no aura, resembling an exceedingly ordinary gourd. But they understood very well, whatever comes from the well cannot be ordinary, it must have its uniqueness.
Not just Tangyu, but all others were intrigued, puzzled, unable to understand what's happening.
Tangyu furrowed his brows, studying the purple gourd. He shook it in his hand, and suddenly realized there was something inside. This discovery made Tangyu's eyes light up slightly, could it be that the true treasure lies within the gourd?
"There's something inside the gourd, Tangyu, open it and see." Tangyu intended to quietly put the gourd away and take it out later when no one was around to investigate what was inside the gourd. Anyway, Tangyu felt, it should be a good treasure, otherwise, he'd be tricking himself.
On hearing Sun Wukong's words, Tangyu glared at him, displeased. This Monkey King, does he not understand the principle of not showing wealth? Didn't learn any lesson from just now? Can't expect this monkey to understand these things, it's certainly an impossible matter. Being urged by Sun Wukong, Tangyu had to open the purple gourd's lid, and immediately a wave of Immortal Spirit Qi drifted from the gourd, dense beyond measure.
A single whiff brings an enchanting serenity, an exceptionally comfortable feeling.
Just from the rich Immortal Spirit Qi wafting out, Tangyu knew it was something valuable. Looking inside, there lay thumb-sized purple Immortal Pills.
"This is—"
Tangyu and the others stared blankly at those Immortal Pills. Suddenly a thought surged: "Could it be—Purple Sun Pills?"
Thinking of this possibility, Tangyu became incredibly excited. Indeed, more excited than discovering a great treasure.
Purple Sun Pills, true Immortal Pills, superior even to Jinyang Pills. Jinyang Pills could elevate a Ninth Layer Mystic Law Realm cultivator to the Golden Core Realm. Meanwhile, Purple Sun Pills could elevate a Golden Core Ninth Layer cultivator to the Zifu Realm. The effect of one Purple Sun Pill rivals a Lower Grade Immortal Treasure. Imagine the immense value of a gourd filled halfway with Purple Sun Pills, amounting to at least several dozen pills—it's enough to drive one crazy.
One Purple Sun Pill can create a Zifu Realm cultivator. A gourdful of Purple Sun Pills could produce many Zifu Realm cultivators. Even Holy Lands would envy such a treasure. If this news spread, top-tier Immortal Sects would fight to the death, igniting a terrifying war.
Tangyu swiftly closed the Purple Gourd and stored it away. He then signaled to Xuanyuan Wushang, Pan Chenyu, and Sun Wukong not to spread the news. Such news, once leaked, would cause tremendous trouble.
Sun Wukong suddenly asked, "Tangyu, what are those purple pills? Are they tasty? They look quite good. Let me, Old Sun, have one."
Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, Tangyu was suddenly tempted to throttle him. This foolish monkey, would he die if he kept silent? Must he spill the beans to feel satisfied?
To make Sun Wukong stop talking, Tangyu immediately replied, "Just some ordinary pills. I'll give you one later. Alright, let Chenyu and Wushang try to find some treasures."
Fortunately, Sun Wukong didn't say more, and Pan Chenyu willingly started treasure hunting, drawing Sun Wukong's attention away from the issue with the Purple Gourd.
Although others sensed the rich Immortal Spirit Qi emanating from the gourd, they didn't see what it contained. Though somewhat curious and guessing, they were unaware that it was filled with Purple Sun Pills. If they knew, they'd surely go mad with excitement.
Of course, some speculated with intent but couldn't quite believe it.
A gourd full of Purple Sun Pills is terrifying—a shocking revelation capable of sparking tumultuous bloodshed. If word spread, things would be chaotic.
After storing the Purple Gourd, Tangyu's emotions remained unsettled. Recall how he fought fiercely in the Remnant Realm for a single Lower Grade Immortal Treasure and fled into the Shi Que Secret Realm to escape. Now, in his hands is a gourd of Purple Sun Pills akin to Lower Grade Immortal Treasures. This gives Tangyu a promising outlook on his power.
In the Cultivation World, Tangyu must establish his influence, a plan long conceived. Without his own force, he couldn't settle Lin Feifei and others when bringing them over. This concern Tangyu resolved entirely before considering bringing Lin Feifei into the Cultivation World, which is chaotic without securing enough power for safety.
After all, Tangyu was already troubled by numerous foes and likely to incur more, with Hongchen Palace lurking in the shadows, forcing him to think carefully.
"Yingui vowed under the Dao to forever serve me. Naturally, I shall grant Yingui a Purple Sun Pill to raise him to the Zifu Realm, earning me another Zifu Realm cultivator. My master Yan Nantian must also be enhanced further, and gifted a Purple Sun Pill, aiding him to break through to the Zifu Realm. I will root my development in Yanshan Sect, expanding it further."
"Besides these Purple Sun Pills, I intend to refine Jinyang Pills. Once produced, I can elevate Wang Qiutian, Niu Hong, and others to the Golden Core Realm. I shall empower those who follow me to the best of my ability, gradually solidifying my strength and growing Yanshan Sect to rival top Immortal Sects—only then it's suitable."
"But first, I must annihilate Liang Kingdom. Once I return from Luoyu Immortal Palace and Yingui ascends to the Zifu Realm, that's when I'll seek revenge against Liang Kingdom. Let Liang Kingdom barely escape for a while longer; its demise is near."
