Chapter 3883 The Power of the Creation Treasure

Three years later.

The Heavenly Tribulation appeared.

The dark, ominous tribulation clouds seemed capable of covering the entire Cangwu Mountain Range; the terrifying aura even made a Celestial Emperor tremble.

“A Half-Saint Heavenly Tribulation?”

Duan Changsheng looked up at the void, his expression somewhat uncertain.

Not only him, but the other Longevity Demon Gods also had solemn expressions.

Faced with such a Heavenly Tribulation, they all felt a strong sense of threat.

With their current cultivation, they would never have felt this way unless it was a Half-Saint level Heavenly Tribulation.

Soon.

The many Longevity Demon Gods turned their gaze to a certain place in the Cangwu Mountain Range.

There,

was the main gathering place of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Although not many cultivators within the Seven Profound Dao Sect truly knew of Lu Changge’s existence, many Longevity Demon Gods had still heard of him.

“The Pill Tribulation has appeared; it seems that he has reached the final stage of alchemy!” Duan

Changsheng’s eyes were subtle.

He naturally understood the effects of the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill.

The appearance of the Pill Tribulation now meant that Lu Changge had reached the final stage of alchemy.

Once the immortal pills have passed the pill tribulation, the process will be truly complete.

At that time,

he will obtain a Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill.

It’s impossible for Duan Changsheng not to care about such a treasure that allows cultivators to undergo the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man.

Meanwhile,

inside a celestial palace,

Lu Changge gazed at the tribulation clouds gathering in the void, his expression solemn, yet a hint of excitement flickering in his eyes.

“The pill tribulation has appeared; now we’ll see how many Heaven-Crossing Profound Pills will successfully pass the tribulation!”

In his vision, five immortal pills appeared in the air.

These were the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pills that Lu Changge had refined over the years.

The simultaneous formation of five pills was beyond his expectations.

However, Lu Changge knew that forming five pills didn’t guarantee the success of all five, as he wasn’t entirely confident about the final pill tribulation.

Soon,

the pill tribulation descended.

That ferocious heavenly tribulation was many times more terrifying than the Immortal Emperor Tribulation.

Not only the Seven Profound Dao Sect, but cultivators from most of Taiyuan Prefecture also sensed this fluctuation and turned their gazes towards the Cangwu Mountains.

“Is this a Pill Tribulation?”

“This Pill Tribulation aura is at least at the Half-Saint level. When did the Seven Profound Dao Sect acquire an eighth-rank Pill Dao Grandmaster?”

Many Immortal Emperors and even reclusive powerhouses were utterly shocked upon witnessing this scene.

An eighth-rank Pill Dao Grandmaster!

That’s even rarer than a Half-Saint.

No one expected the Seven Profound Dao Sect to possess an eighth-rank Grandmaster.

Now,

looking at the elixir undergoing the tribulation, some ancient beings even displayed subtle expressions.

“The Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill!”

“The Seven Profound Dao Sect is actually refining the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill—”

“It’s said that old man Lu Changge has been collecting rare and precious materials for many years, intending to refine the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill. Could this tribulation be related to him?”

In a celestial city, an old man resting under a tree suddenly opened his eyes. His previously cloudy gaze instantly sharpened as he looked in the direction of the Seven Profound Dao Sect, a hint of shock appearing on his deeply lined face.

Such scenes were occurring in various parts of Taiyuan Prefecture.

Some were ordinary old men, some were dressed as scholars, and some were celestial officials from ordinary celestial dynasties. At this moment, they all looked in the direction of the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

…

Now.

In the Cangwu Mountains.

The pill tribulation continued to fall. Countless bolts

of lightning struck down, as if to destroy all five celestial pills.

Faced with such power, the celestial pills trembled violently. In

less than a moment, one of the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pills could not withstand the power of the pill tribulation and turned into dust before everyone’s eyes, completely dissipating.

“One failed!”

Lu Changge’s heart twitched slightly, but his outward expression remained calm.

However, not long after, the second Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill also perished.

Seeing this,

Lu Changge’s expression began to falter.

After all, there were only five Heaven-Crossing Profound Pills in total, and now two had failed; whether the remaining three could survive the tribulation was still unknown.

As time passed, the tribulation gradually drew to a close.

Just then,

another Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill shattered.

Seeing this, Lu Changge’s fists clenched involuntarily.

Fortunately,

the remaining tribulations passed without incident.

When the final tribulation struck, both Heaven-Crossing Profound Pills remained intact.

Seeing this, Lu Changge breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to collect the two pills.

But before he could move, he saw the void tremble, and an old man in gray robes appeared, his right hand’s five fingers covering the sun, moon, and universe, directly grabbing at the two Heaven-Crossing Profound Pills.

“Qin Changnian, how dare you!!”

Upon seeing this, Lu Changge’s face immediately turned furious. He immediately unleashed a palm strike, attempting to repel the old man, but the latter flicked his sleeve, and a powerful gust of wind shattered layers of void, completely disintegrating the force.

The lingering power of the gust of wind swept over, causing Lu Changge’s expression to change again, forcing him to defend once more.

But in this brief moment of delay, the gray-robed old man was already about to pocket the two Heaven-Crossing Profound Pills.

However—

just as he was about to succeed, a calm voice rang out.

“This is the Cangwu Mountain Range, not for you to be so presumptuous!”

The words had barely left his lips

when, before the old man could speak, a soul-shaking bell tolled into his mind.

The old man’s previously calm expression drastically changed, his turbid eyes revealing horror. He tried to speak, but his mouth opened, and no sound came out.

The next moment…

The old man in gray exploded, and a cloud of blood mist scattered down.

As the illusory image of the Great Dao fell, the world suddenly fell silent.

Whether it was Lu Changge or the ancient beings who had secretly plotted to seize it, they were all stunned, their gazes fixed on the purple-clad figure that had appeared in the void, their eyes filled with terror.

Qin Changnian was dead!

So easily annihilated on the spot!

From beginning to end, they couldn’t discern much of a change in his demeanor; they only seemed to hear a deafening ancient bell toll, time seemed to stand still for a moment, and by the time they reacted, Qin Changnian had already perished on the spot.

An endless chill surged from the hearts of the many ancient beings, making them dare not linger in the shadows any longer, and they instantly turned and fled.

What Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill!

What supreme opportunity!

At this moment, they had all forgotten about it.

What a joke.

Even Qin Changnian was dead, let alone them.

After all, although that person had no reputation in Taiyuan Prefecture, that was only in the eyes of ordinary cultivators.

As fellow reclusive half-saints, they naturally knew each other.

Among the many reclusive half-saints in Taiyuan Prefecture, the other party’s strength was almost top-tier.

No one could confidently claim to be stronger than Qin Changnian.

Yet now,

even someone as powerful as Qin Changnian was instantly killed.

If they were to take action, the outcome wouldn’t be much better.

The Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill was important, but not as important as their own lives.

Having reached the Half-Saint realm and attaining immortality, they naturally cherished their lives even more.

Besides,

this time, they were seizing the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill to overcome one of the Five Signs of Decay in Heaven and Man, so they could live more comfortably.

If they didn’t even have their lives, what use would the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill be?

The departure of the other Half-Saints did not escape Shen Changqing’s perception, but he did not intervene.

He had already used the power of the World-Stabilizing Bell to kill Qin Changnian.

It must be said that

the Creation Treasure was indeed powerful.

With only a slight activation of the power of such a supreme treasure, he directly killed a Fourth Tribulation Half-Saint.

The latter didn’t even have the slightest chance to resist.

Shen Changqing was confident that if he went all out, he could capture all the semi-saints with the power of his Creation Treasure.

However, that would likely expose the existence of the World-Stabilizing Bell.

Unless, of course,

Shen Changqing could silence all the cultivators, then that would be a different story.

Right now, killing Qin Changnian only involved slightly using the power of his Creation Treasure; he hadn’t even truly revealed its true form.

The fall of a fourth-tribulation semi-saint was, in Shen Changqing’s view, enough to shock everything.

Then,

Shen Changqing reached out, and two Heaven-Crossing Profound Pills landed in his hand. He then took another step, instantly landing in front of Lu Changge.

“Fellow Daoist Qi Xuan!”

Lu Changge took a deep breath, his gaze towards Shen Changqing unconsciously becoming increasingly awe-inspiring.

If defeating Wu Jue was considered a display of formidable strength, then instantly killing Qin Changnian in a single exchange was truly unfathomable.

As a reclusive half-saint of Taiyuan Prefecture, how could Lu Changge not know Qin Changnian’s strength?

Despite his unassuming demeanor, Qin Changnian was an ancient half-saint who had lived since the beginning of time.

His strength and foundation far surpassed that of ordinary half-saints.

In their previous exchange, Lu Changge had already understood the gap between himself and Qin Changnian.

Even if he used all his resources, he couldn’t possibly be Qin Changnian’s match.

Yet, even someone as powerful as Qin Changnian couldn’t last a single round against Shen Changqing. How could Lu Changge not feel awe at the strength of this Seven Profound Dao Lord?

At this moment,

Shen Changqing flipped his hand, and two Heaven-Crossing Profound Pills appeared.

Lu Changge’s gaze fell upon the pills.

But the next instant,

his brows furrowed.

One Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill possessed a naturally perfect Daoist essence, perfectly balanced, while the other had a chaotic Daoist essence, covered with numerous dense cracks, and still retained the aura of tribulation lightning.

“I never expected that only one would succeed in the end!”

Lu Changge exhaled a breath of turbid air, his face full of resentment.

Although both Heaven-Crossing Profound Pills had survived the Pill Tribulation, one of them clearly couldn’t withstand the power of the tribulation. Although it wasn’t completely destroyed, it was incomplete.

Such an incomplete immortal pill naturally had very little effect left.

At the very least,

it was impossible for him to overcome the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man.

Understanding this, Lu Changge was immediately in a dilemma.

According to the original agreement, the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pills were to be shared equally, but now that one immortal pill was good and the other was incomplete, how to divide them became a problem.

“Fellow Daoist Qi Xuan…”

Lu Changge hesitated, unsure of how to begin.

Shen Changqing said, “According to the original agreement, the elixir was to be divided equally between us. However, now there is only one complete elixir and one incomplete one. No matter how it is divided, someone will always be at a disadvantage.

Therefore, I have a compromise.

The complete Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill will belong to you, fellow Daoist.

But as compensation, you must stay in the Seven Profound Dao Sect for a million years. What do you think?”

Without waiting for Lu Changge’s reply, Shen Changqing smiled faintly.

“Of course—”

“If you are unwilling, then the incomplete elixir will belong to you.

However, I believe this is not the outcome you desire!”

These words

immediately brought a bitter smile to Lu Changge’s face.

It seemed that two paths were laid out before him, but Lu Changge knew that from beginning to end, he only had one choice.

“This humble Daoist is willing to stay!”

“Good, Fellow Daoist Lu is straightforward. Then this Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill belongs to Fellow Daoist Lu!”

Shen Changqing smiled with satisfaction, not surprised by Lu Changge’s choice. He then handed the complete Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill to Lu Changge, keeping the incomplete one for himself.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qi Xuan.”

Lu Changge took a deep breath, solemnly put away the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill, and then his expression became serious.

“For the next million years, this humble Daoist will remain in your sect. If there is anything you need from me, please feel free to ask.”

“Since I have already agreed, there is absolutely no way I can go back on my word!”

“Fellow Daoist has just finished refining pills, please rest for a while. I will have other needs from you later.” Shen

Changqing didn’t immediately give orders, simply saying a few words before turning and leaving.

Watching Shen Changqing’s departing figure, Lu Changge gave another bitter smile.

Now,

he was trapped in the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

But there was no other way; exchanging a million years for a Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill was a sure-fire win for Lu Changge.

His time was running out. This failed attempt left him no time to search for materials again.

Most importantly,

Lu Changge wasn’t confident he could succeed next time.

Rather than gambling on uncertain probabilities, he decided to seize the opportunity.

With this Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill, he wouldn’t have to worry about the next Heavenly Decay.

A million years, while not a short time, wasn’t too long for a Longevity Half-Saint.

“That’s fine too. The appearance of the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill has attracted attention from all sides; countless Half-Saints are secretly watching outside the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Staying here at least guarantees my safety! ” “

These thoughts flashed through Lu Changge’s mind, and his heart calmed down completely.

The emergence of the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill had attracted the secret covetous eyes of many powerful figures.

Lu Changge was well aware of the immense allure of such an elixir to those ancient semi-saints.

After all, even if he couldn’t use it himself, obtaining the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill could still grant him abundant cultivation resources, thereby enhancing his strength.

Even

ancient semi-saints like Qin Changnian couldn’t sit still for it.

In fact,

Lu Changge knew very well that the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill he had refined was unlikely to help ancient semi-saints like Qin Changnian overcome the Five Signs of Decay.

Yet, even so, the other party still made a move. Ultimately, Qin Changnian coveted the benefits contained within the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill.

Currently, with the Seven Profound Dao Lord in charge, the other semi-saints dared not act rashly.

But if he left the Seven Profound Dao Sect, it would be a different story.   How could Lu Changge not understand this?” (End of Chapter
