What is an immortal?

A moment later, the changes on Yuan Ming's body finally came to a halt, and he slowly opened his eyes, a look of joy appearing on his face.

"The Three Flowers and Five Qi Pill truly did not go to waste," he murmured softly to himself.

After devouring the Tao Divine Ability of the Eight-winged Fire Flood Dragon and numerous Dao Seals, his strength had leaped to a new level, giving him much more confidence in facing Level 7 Great Demons.

Then, Yuan Ming began tidying up the battlefield in an orderly manner.

He carefully dug out the Demon Core of the Fire Flood Dragon, then collected the Devil Bone and demon meat, placing everything into the Shura Palace.

Until this moment, Wang Fulong and the Great Sun Glaze Flame had not yet returned.

Yuan Ming sensed Wang Fulong's position, then maneuvered the Shura Palace to quickly pursue in that direction.

Before long, Yuan Ming found the two Fire Spirits still entangled with Wang Fulong and the Great Sun Glaze Flame.

With a thought, the Shura Palace suppressed down immediately, the overwhelming Space Power instantly restraining the Fire Spirits' movements.

Yuan Ming immediately activated the Primordial Dao Seal, and the Mixed Hole Vortex emerged, almost twice as large as before.

The devouring power emanating from it became even more terrifying, seemingly capable of swallowing everything.

The two Fire Spirits had almost no power to resist in the face of this force and were consumed completely.

Yuan Ming took out the Soul Destroying Sword and pulled out the Sword Spirit maiden.

"How about it, have you digested the Soul Power from before?" Yuan Ming asked softly.

The Sword Spirit maiden felt the fluctuations from the Soul Power black balls refined from the two Fire Spirits, burped slightly, and then said quickly, "Master, I can still eat."

Yuan Ming hesitated a little but couldn't resist the pleading look in the maiden's eyes. After a brief hesitation, he handed one of the Fire Spirits to her.

The maiden pounced on it and began chewing and tearing, her eating manner somewhat unsightly.

After she finally finished eating and then looked at the second Fire Spirit, Yuan Ming chuckled and asked, "What, can you still eat?"

"No, no, I can't eat anymore," the maiden shook her head, rubbing her bulging round belly.

Yuan Ming looked at her slightly chubby face and suddenly felt she seemed to have grown a bit.

"Go and refine and absorb well,"

Yuan Ming said, waving his hand to send her back into the Soul Destroying Sword.

At this time, the Great Sun Glaze Flame had completely recovered, and the second Fire Spirit rightfully belonged to Xi Hezi.

After quickly absorbing it, her form became more solid, and the waves of energy emanating from her grew increasingly intense.

"This time is truly nourishing," Xi Hezi said with a satisfied smile on her face, delighted.

After saying this, she flew back into the Xi He Tablet.

Soon after, the Xi He Tablet transformed into a red light, flew into a crimson mountain peak, and began absorbing the Spiritual Power contained within.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming also flew back, placing the Shura Palace in the void beside the mountain.

After doing all this, he returned to the Extreme Fire Realm within the Shura Palace and saw the half-standing black mountain peak inside.

He flew up, gently picked a Fire Spirit Gourd, and then took out the Complete Heaven Exquisite Tripod, summoning Dian Xiaosan.

"You really found the Fire Attribute Original Spiritual Object. With this, I can attempt to refine the Enlightenment Pill," Dian Xiaosan said with a look of joy as he took the Fire Spirit Gourd from Yuan Ming's hand.

"Enlightenment Pill... how confident are you in refining it?" Yuan Ming couldn't help but ask, even though he knew he shouldn't pressure Dian Xiaosan too much.

"I am now the Artifact Spirit of the Complete Heaven Exquisite Tripod and have merged with it quite well. Coupled with my insight into the True Meaning of Alchemy, I believe there's a fifty percent chance of success," Dian Xiaosan replied after a slight hesitation.

For an elixir as rare as the Enlightenment Pill, fifty percent was already considered a high success rate.

Yuan Ming was pleased in his heart and was about to speak when the figure of Void suddenly appeared.

"Just focus on refining, I will assist you with the Fengtian Secret Technique, so enhancing the success rate by another twenty percent shouldn't be difficult," Void said with a laugh.

"Then I'll be relying on the two seniors," Yuan Ming said solemnly, clasping his fists together.

Seeing the two engrossed in discussing alchemy details, and no one paying attention to him, Yuan Ming departed on his own.

Outside the Shura Palace, Yuan Ming looked at the crimson mountain made entirely of Fire Attribute Spiritual Material. With a thought, he maneuvered the Shura Palace to the mountain's peak and began refining the whole crimson mountain and moving it into the Extreme Fire Realm.

Time flew by, and before he knew it, half a month had passed.

The once towering crimson mountain had been cut in half, with the top half already moved entirely into the Shura Palace.

The remaining half stood still, its surface flickering with scarlet light like blazing flames.

Yuan Ming stood aside, watching from afar.

He saw the spiritual power within that mountain peak gradually converging towards the interior, and the remnant half of the mountain peak was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This scene was like an invisible beast devouring the remnants of the mountain, mouthful by mouthful.

Each time the beast devoured, the mountain peak grew smaller, until finally, only a house-sized mountain body remained.

At this moment, all the lights suddenly disappeared, and a crimson shadow shot out, transforming into a red stone stele.

Spiritual patterns shone on the stele, radiating strong spiritual power fluctuations, like a splendid star.

Then, a female figure appeared above the stele. She rode the flying stele and came before Yuan Ming.

"Congratulations, you've finally restored to the Dao Treasure level," Yuan Ming saw this and cheerfully congratulated her.

"Mutual congratulations. Once I stabilize my realm, I can continue refining the Shura Palace. Now that my power has reached the Dao Treasure level, the ritual refining of the Shura Palace will be twice as effective with half the effort." Xi Hezi replied with a smile.

After speaking, her figure merged back into the stele and flew back into the Shura Palace.

Yuan Ming then stepped into the Stealing Heaven Tripod Space and arrived at the golden great hall.

He inquired about the location of the Yin Soul Flower from a gray statue, and after some negotiation, he obtained the answer at the cost of fifty Vow Power Pills.

He then drove the Shura Palace swiftly towards the direction where the Yin Soul Flower was located.

After he had left for a while, the sea of flames on the ground suddenly began to churn, and a mysterious bird covered in flames coagulated out of the fire.

This bird was a hundred feet long, with its tail feathers making up half of it. Its fiery red feathers faintly shone with multicolored brilliance, covered with mysterious patterns.

It was clearly a Youtian Fire Phoenix, with an incredibly terrifying aura, not at all inferior to the dead Eight-winged Fire Flood Dragon.

As soon as the figure of the Youtian Fire Phoenix appeared, a green whirlwind suddenly spun down from the sky.

From the whirlwind emerged a giant bird surrounded by a green whirlwind, even larger than the Youtian Fire Phoenix, with a similar appearance, but its feathers were like peacock green, also faintly covered with a layer of multicolored brilliance, appearing extremely majestic.

This was also an extremely powerful Level 7 Demon Beast.

"Qingluan, luckily we listened to your advice this time and didn't act recklessly. Not only is that person's power unfathomable, but the strength of the red stone stele can't be underestimated either. The death of that Eight-winged Fire Flood Dragon was not in vain." The Youtian Fire Phoenix spoke to the green giant bird.

"Although we don't get along with that Eight-winged Fire Flood Dragon, these outsider raiders are even more despicable. Every time they set foot here, they bring a bloody storm, killing wantonly everywhere. This time, we can't fight individually anymore." Qingluan also spoke, responding.

"You're right. You and I will act separately and contact the other guys. This time, it will be us hunting these unknowing raiders." A hint of murderous intent flashed in the Youtian Fire Phoenix's eyes.

...

After leaving the Heavenly Slaughter Fire Domain, Yuan Ming and his group flew for several days, finally seeing a mountain range shrouded in purple light.

In the range, giant rocks stood like sharp beast teeth, crystal clear like crystals, appearing even more illusionary under the purple light.

Occasionally, gray shadows flickered among the stones, like mist or smoke, elusive, as if they were the hidden spirits of this mysterious mountain range.

Among these rocks, slender purple trees soared into the clouds, their trunks growing opaque from top to bottom, appearing like floating ghostly shadows from afar, giving an illusionary feeling.

The sky over the mountain range was filled with dense soul power, as if every inch of air was imbued with some mysterious force, which even affected Yuan Ming in flight, stirring waves in his Sea of Consciousness.

"It seems the stones in this place are rich in soul power, making it undoubtedly a holy land of cultivation for Soul Cultivators. According to the statue's information, the Yin Soul Flower should be within this mountain range," Yuan Ming turned to Xi Ying and said.

Xi Ying nodded, with a hint of surprise in her eyes as she gazed at the range, as if discovering something unexpected.

"Do you know this place?" Yuan Ming discerned Xi Ying's thoughts and couldn't help asking.

Xi Ying glanced at Yuan Ming, didn't answer directly, just pointed lightly to her lips, indicating she couldn't speak.

Yuan Ming realized that Xi Ying was restricted by the forbidden in her body, unable to reveal the truth to him.

This meant that this mountain range had some major connection with the Bright Moon Palace, possibly being their true destination for this journey.

"In that case, let's continue searching for the Yin Soul Flower," Xi Ying said at this moment.

Yuan Ming nodded in agreement, though he was unsure of the Bright Moon Palace's exact plans, since Xi Ying knew the insider information, naturally he should follow her guidance.

The group continued to delve into the range, following the statue's directions along the way.

Soon, they arrived at the edge of a precipitous cliff.

Beneath the cliff was a bottomless dark abyss, with purple light drifting and swirling like fog, resembling a gateway to an illusionary realm, filled with mystery and eeriness.

And about ten feet below the cliff's edge, a pale gray little flower quietly blossomed with buds.

Each petal had a purple human-shaped spot on it, with the center of the flower exhaling purple spirit light, twining around the stem and leaves like a ribbon, beautiful as a dream.
