Chapter 1879: Chapter 1976: Supreme Alchemy Tao
Within the Pill Saint Palace, countless pill furnaces emitted a harmonious resonance, echoing the imminent birth of an Alchemy Tao Supreme.
In the most secluded hall of the Pill Saint Palace, many figures were present. The Old Palace Master in moon-white robes and the Great Elder in gray Pill Refiner robes stood side by side, with the Hall Masters of the nine divisions and prominent elders of the Pill Saint Palace standing behind them.
In addition, there was a group of senior Pill Refiners of high status and seniority within the Pill Saint Palace, who rarely showed themselves in normal times but had now all emerged.
Except for the Old Palace Master, other faces carried a mix of apprehension and nervousness, along with a rare excitement, particularly among those elder Pill Refiners, who were trembling with excitement despite their advanced age.
The reason was none other than the person standing at the center of the grand hall, with a pillar of azure light descending upon him, and an endless flow of Cauldron Qi converging from all directions into his body.
This person was none other than Fang Lin!
To be precise, this was the Fang Lin of this era, not the Fang Lin of later ages.
Fang Lin’s eyes were entranced, gazing blankly upwards as if everything around him had faded from his mind.
He witnessed many things: countless pill furnaces thundering in approval; Pill Refiners arriving from all directions to witness the birth of the Alchemy Tao Supreme; and the Heavenly Tao resonating with Fang Lin.
Most astonishing to Fang Lin was the vision of an old man, seemingly long gone, who smiled and nodded at him in the depths of mystery.
Fang Lin did not know who this old man was, but he felt an inexplicable closeness and familiarity, as if he had always known this old man.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, Fang Lin soared into the sky, bursting through the dome of the hall, arriving above the Pill Saint Palace.𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
The nine colossal cauldrons surrounding the Pill Saint Palace seemed drawn to Fang Lin, detaching themselves from the palace and instead orbiting around him.
At this moment, countless eyes across the land were fixed upon Fang Lin.
People from all directions had already started arriving, yet few dared to approach the Pill Saint Palace too closely, given its revered prestige which was not for anyone to approach at will.
"Isn’t this the youngest Nine Cauldron Pill Refiner in the history of the Pill Saint Palace, Fang Lin?"
"Indeed it is him. Currently, within the Pill Saint Palace, his and Qi Liansheng’s names are the most resounding, unmatched by any contemporary Pill Refiner."
"I recall this person is the son of Martial Sovereign Fang Qingye, right?"
"That’s right, indeed, he is the son of Martial Sovereign Fang."
"It’s truly unexpected that Martial Sovereign Fang’s son would be so outstanding; though he didn’t develop in Martial Arts, he has reached such heights in the Alchemy Tao."
"Naturally, how could the son of Martial Sovereign Fang be ordinary? He is destined to be extraordinary."
"What is happening? Why does it feel the atmosphere between heaven and earth has changed?"
"Fool, you can’t even see that? As there is a Supreme Realm in Martial Arts, there is in Alchemy Tao as well. Fang Lin is achieving the Alchemy Tao Supreme Realm."
"What? Alchemy Tao Supreme? Is there such a realm?"
"It’s astonishing that a new Martial Lord has appeared not long ago, and now another Alchemy Tao Supreme is emerging—truly a blessing for humanity."
····
Speculations spread from one to ten and ten to a hundred, and the title of Alchemy Tao Supreme gradually circulated among the arriving Pill Refiners and Martial Artists.
Only then did people understand that a new Alchemy Tao Supreme was about to emerge from the Pill Saint Palace, no wonder such a vast phenomenon was occurring.
Regardless of where they came from, the assembled Pill Refiners gazed upon Fang Lin with fervent admiration, as if seeing a mortal sovereign ruler.
This is no surprise, for if Fang Lin truly becomes the Alchemy Tao Supreme, in the eyes of the world’s Pill Refiners, he would be equivalent to an emperor.
This parallels the status of a Martial Arts Supreme in the hearts of Martial Artists; as an Alchemy Tao Supreme, he would naturally receive reverence and veneration from every Pill Refiner.
For these Pill Refiners, witnessing Fang Lin’s achievement of the Alchemy Tao Supreme realm is an extraordinary blessing—seeing a Supreme emerge in one’s lifetime is a rare fortune.
Additionally, witnessing the birth of a Supreme might inspire insights into their own practice of Alchemy Tao, potentially leading to leaps in their skills.
As more and more people arrived from everywhere, the surrounding areas of the Pill Saint Palace for miles were crowded and bustling.
To prevent any malefactors from mingling with the crowd, the Great Elder issued an order for all mighty figures of the Pill Saint Palace to appear, especially the Hall Masters of the nine divisions who took positions around Fang Lin to preempt any unexpected events.
"Silence!" The Old Palace Master shouted, his voice like thunder in everyone’s ears, turning their faces pale with awe, forcing them to cease any whispering or conversations.
"Anyone caught discussing will be executed on the spot!" the Old Palace Master declared, surveying the surroundings with sharp eyes, emanating an aura of authority.
Many in the Pill Saint Palace were astonished as they looked at the Old Palace Master, never having seen him so solemn before—it seemed he was a different person than the usually genial old man.
This was understandable, given the significant matter of achieving a Pill Sovereign, impacting the future of the Pill Saint Palace and the entire Alchemy Tao’s direction; allowing people from afar to witness it was indulgent, so they couldn’t let this rabble interfere with Fang Lin.
Upon the Old Palace Master’s words, the mighty figures of the Pill Saint Palace obeyed, glaring at everyone around, prepared to strike down anyone making a sound.
Meanwhile, Bai Qingxue also arrived with a contingent of Emperor Bai City’s strongmen; without Bai Qingxue’s orders, the accompanying experts each took positions, guarding Fang Lin at the center.
Bai Qingxue first glanced at Fang Lin, then nodded at the Old Palace Master and the Great Elder without further communication, but both knew Bai Qingxue had brought people to protect Fang Lin.
However, there was a mystery as to why Fang Qingye, Fang Lin’s father, hadn’t appeared for such a significant event as achieving a Pill Sovereign—it was peculiar.
Unbeknownst to them, Fang Qingye had already arrived but chosen not to reveal himself.
Fang Qingye was there to guard against Mo Shouhe, wary of any disruption he might cause at the critical moment of Fang Lin achieving Pill Sovereign.
Seated high above the clouds, Mo Shouhe looked down at the Pill Saint Palace and Fang Lin, encircled by the Nine Cauldrons and imbued with the Heavenly Tao’s fortune, wearing a faint smile.
"I have awaited this day too long, do not disappoint me," Mo Shouhe mused, without any intention to disrupt Fang Lin, even anticipating his achievement of Pill Sovereign with excitement.
