Chapter 461: Did four three three fail?_2

"Go!"

Then, on Qingcheng Mountain, before Shangqing Palace, in front of the Nine Heavens Temple, incense and the willpower of worshippers from all places dedicated to Jiang Chen rose up, converging at the peak of Cang Mountain and evolving into a vast Divine Territory within the Thunder Pool.

The spirituality of Thunder Marsh was in the center of this Divine Territory, enveloped by the divine power transformed from the incense and willpower, resembling a massive divine cocoon.

This was an attempt to cultivate the spirituality of the Thunder Pool as if it were a deity itself, just waiting for the divine cocoon to shatter and the divine being of the Thunder Pool to be born.

Once the process of creating a tool reached this point, it was essentially complete, all that remained was for Jiang Chen to finish the final touches.

...

......

Several months later, up in the Nine Heavens, an ancient pool that measured several square feet floated amidst countless thunderbolts, continuously absorbing the power of thunder.

You could see, hovering above the Thunder Pool, various ancient portals appearing, with mysterious powers trickling down and flowing into the Thunder Pool.

These mysterious powers, on their way to the Thunder Pool, were continuously tempered by the thunder, gradually becoming pure, emitting a radiant divine light, and turning into a golden liquid as they descended.

Even the "impurities" that were forged out of these powers by the thunder were not wasted.

As they were being dispersed, they fused with the power of thunder and various kinds of innate primordial Qi, continuously condensing, until they finally turned into various cultivation pills, floating in the surrounding thunder.

These cultivation pills were the Creation Primordial Pills.

That’s right, the main purpose of the Thunder Pool Jiang Chen was refining was to create the Creation Divine Liquid, while the so-called Creation Primordial Pills were merely by-products of the congealing Creation Divine Liquid process.

The essence of the thunder was condensed into Creation Divine Liquid, and the impurities in the Creation Divine Liquid, after merging with other powers, became Creation Primordial Pills.

The Creation Divine Liquid is indeed the real treasure, able to rival the top ten prehistoric divine waters, and is even more mysterious.

Jiang Chen reached out and plucked a Creation Primordial Pill from within the thunder, looking it over in his hand.

It was clear that the Creation Primordial Pill refined by the Thunder Pool was significantly different from the Creation Primordial Pill refined by the Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree.

The Creation Primordial Pill refined from the Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree was derived from the Primordial Qi in the depths of Thunder Marsh, so after the pill was formed, it was as clean as a whistle, with divine thunder patterns all around it.

But the Creation Primordial Pill refined by the Thunder Pool was also spotlessly white, but the thunder pattern on it was in the shape of a dragon. From a distance, it looked as if the body of the Creation Primordial Pill was entwined with divine dragons.

Jiang Chen knew why it was so.

At the final moment of refining the Thunder Pool, something unexpected happened. Streams of extremely pure dragon Qi spewed out, leveraging the power of the formation to connect with the Dragon Dimension in the void, which infused the power of the dragon into the Thunder Pool the moment it was formed.

Now, in the Thunder Pool, besides an endless amount of thunder power, there was also a countless amount of pure dragon Qi floating around. For some unknown reason, both somehow reached a balance and coexisted.

This led to the Creation Primordial Pills refined by the Thunder Pool displaying dragon patterns the moment they were formed as they were tainted with a hint of dragon Qi.

"This is a blessing in disguise. With the infusion of dragon Qi, not only has the effect of the Creation Primordial Pill become stronger by about thirty percent, but long-term consumption can even imbue a person with a hint of innate dragon power." After examining the Creation Primordial Pill in his hand for a while, Jiang Chen gave his comment.

The dragon Qi in the Thunder Pool was emanating from an ancient dragon of Taoist Master Level, which is of extremely high quality. Infusing it into the Creation Primordial Pill could only be beneficial.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Above the Nine Heavens, endless thunderbolts gathered and collided to create the Qi of Creation, which was absorbed by the Thunder Pool, and then converted into Creation Divine Liquid and Creation Primordial Pills.

Without a doubt, the Nine Heavens was the perfect place for the Thunder Pool. Initially, it could only refine a maximum of a million Creation Primordial Pills a day by solely relying on the power of thunder it gathered. But with the boost from the Nine Heavens, this speed increased tenfold from one million to ten million.

Moreover, this was far from the limit of the Thunder Pool or the Nine Heavens.

The power of thunder pooled by the Thunder Pool would complement the divine thunder of the Nine Heavens, strengthening the original source of the Nine Heavens. Once bolstered, the Nine Heavens could, in turn, boost the Thunder Pool, making it even more powerful.

After observing for a while, Jiang Chen suddenly had an impulse. He released the Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree from his brow and transplanted it into the Nine Heavens.

As soon as the Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree entered the Nine Heavens, it started to grow rapidly and soon, it reached billions of feet in size.

With a rumbling sound, the Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree pierced through the Nine Heavens. Its flying roots even took root in the original source of the Nine Heavens.

At this moment, the Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree was like a World Tree, supporting the entire Nine Heavens.

Rumble! Rumble!

The power drawn from Thunder Marsh by the Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree began to fuse into the Nine Heavens, causing unknown changes in this thunderous holy land.

"What is this..."

Witnessing this scene, Jiang Chen seemed to understand something.

The Heavenly Dao created the Nine Heavens and gave him the Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree. Its purpose was probably to allow the Nine Heavens to use the Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree, bit by bit, to consume the power of Thunder Marsh.

In the end, Thunder Marsh will be swallowed.

Although Thunder Marsh is strong and extraordinary, it is a defect for the Heavenly Dao and for Heaven and Earth. All things in the prehistoric world should belong to the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao.

But Thunder Marsh holds power that surpasses the Heavenly Dao, making it impossible for Heavenly Dao to fully control it. This is something the Heavenly Dao cannot tolerate.

So, the Heavenly Dao wants to refine Thunder Marsh, making it a part of Heaven and Earth, thus strengthening the original source of Heaven and Earth.

The appearance of the Nine Heavens is an attempt by the Heavenly Dao to refine Thunder Marsh. It wants to use the Nine Heavens to engulf Thunder Marsh.

And Jiang Chen is the one chosen by the Heavenly Dao to execute this plan. The Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree is a tool to help the Nine Heavens refine Thunder Marsh.

"I wondered why my luck was so good? I encountered every good thing, only to find out now, that all of this was the Heavenly Dao’s scheme. How laughable that I only realized it now."

Having understood all of this, Jiang Chen let out a self-mocking laugh. He silently chose to accept this task. Did he have any reason to refuse a task set by the Heavenly Dao?

Moreover, if he were to succeed in this matter and allow the Nine Heavens to swallow Thunder Marsh, he would gain immense benefits. Becoming a Great Divine Transcendent would not be difficult, not to mention achieving Primordial Chaos.

In fact, looking at it from another perspective, among the countless beings in the Three Realms, Jiang Chen was the one chosen by the Heavenly Dao. Doesn’t this highlight his excellence? This thought made him feel much better.

Rumble! Rumble!

With the suppression of the Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree, the original source of the Nine Heavens became even more substantial. The Thunder Pool also benefitted, and its aura became stronger.

Previously, the quantity of Creation Divine Pills refined by the Thunder Pool was ten million per day, but at this moment, it had increased to thirty million per day, tripling the production.

But that’s still not enough, the number of Creation Divine Pills that Jiang Chen needs is far too many, the gap is too significant. Let alone thirty million, even three hundred billion wouldn’t be enough.

"The Divine Race, they deserve to die!"

Thinking about the benefits the Divine Race obtained from the Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree, a sudden urge to kill the Divine Race surged within Jiang Chen’s heart. But he quickly suppressed this idea.

Now is not the time. He’s still too weak, not worthy enough to contend with a divine sovereign.

Moreover, right now, Jiang Chen has more important matters to attend to. That is, his attempt to refine a tool this time wasn’t successful.

Well, it can’t be said that it wasn’t successful, but rather it didn’t fail.

Integrating the formation, connecting to the dimension, refining the Willpower of Incense - all the functions Jiang Chen envisioned, are basically present in the Thunder Pool. But the Divine Entity of the Magic Treasure, the Thunder Pool, did not successfully form and is still in the gestation process.

This isn’t right, according to Jiang Chen’s speculation, if his refining technique had been perfectly successful, the Divine Entity of the Thunder Pool should have formed directly, instead of undergoing an extra gestation process.

The Divine Entity is still in gestation, indicating that Jiang Chen’s refining attempt this time wasn’t completely successful or in other words, it didn’t achieve its full potential.

PS: I’m considering whether to write longer Chapters, 5000 words per Chapter.
