The proposal from the Medicine Pavilion Master instantly plunged the echoing Sacred Flame Altar into absolute silence. A Blood Oath to the Heavens and in the Name of the Sect was no laughing matter. Should anyone dare break it, the laws of nature and the sect's karmic retribution would obliterate the violator’s soul and meridian pathways until nothing remained!Hearing this, Elder Yao Yue’s body trembled violently. Tremendous doubt struck her chest. Wagering her disciple’s freedom, her own honor, and the very future of the Silver Gate Pavilion in an eternal oath was a gamble far too terrifying to bear.'Is this truly the right choice? If Wei Zhong makes even a single tiny mistake...' Yao Yue thought in panic, her knuckles turning white as she clenched her fists tightly.Yet, right when Yao Yue felt suffocated by the weight of her hesitation, a subtle voice filled with unshakable authority echoed directly within her mind via telepathic transmission.'Master... trust me.'Yao Yue startl

TAK!With just a single casual pat from Alex's palm, the secret crack on the wall of that worn-out cauldron trembled softly. However, instead of injecting Qi to ignite the fire inside the cauldron as Lao Yu fervently hoped, Alex pulled his hand back. He took a step backward, allowing the fragile Divine-Grade cauldron to stand cold and completely untouched.Lao Yu widened his eyes in astonishment."W-What are you doing?! Why aren't you lighting the fire?!""The cauldron? Hold your horses!" Alex curled his lips into a subtle, mysterious smile, gazing at Lao Yu with a pair of eyes radiating absolute tranquility."Who said a true alchemist always needs a cauldron just to strip away impurities from every available ingredient?"Sreeet!With a highly graceful and fluid motion of his hand, Alex flicked the sleeve of his robe. Instantly, dozens of high-tier spiritual herbs provided by the organizers levitated into the air, floating freely to form a perfect circle right above Alex's golden ston

CRASH!A mass of dense black clouds suddenly rolled rapidly over the main stage of the arena, tearing through the scorching midday heat with a terrifying darkness. A biting cold mixed with an extraordinarily violent spiritual pressure pressed down, compressing the arena's atmosphere until tens of thousands of spectators held their breath in unison."Pill Tribulation Clouds!" shouted one of the judging elders from the VIP stands, pointing at the sky with a trembling hand."Three Divine-Grade Pills born simultaneously!"BZZZZZZT!Above their respective tables, the three genius contestants from the Medicine Pavilion slammed their palms onto their cauldrons at the same time.TRANG! TRANG! TRANG!Three cauldron lids were thrown into the air, spouting three soaring beams of light that pierced through the dark clouds. An overwhelmingly dense, fragrant medicinal aroma spread massively, enveloping the entire arena in an instant.RUMBLE! BOOOOOM!The sky thundered violently. Flash after flash o

Alex’s roar continued to echo thunderously, cleaving through the rumble of lightning in the sky. An excruciating scorching sensation was instantly followed by an intense tingling feeling, creeping through his body like millions of essence needles stinging every inch of his meridians, bones, and hidden cells."Damn it... It's over. A Heavenly-Grade Pill was indeed created, but surely it didn't cost him his life, right?""..." Yao Lian, Yao Yue, and the Master of the Medicine Pavilion watched in dead silence as Alex's body was struck by lightning.However...In truth, the Immortal Element Body Separation Technique was working to the extreme—forcing the wild and violent stream of natural lightning laws to submit, filtering it, and crushing its ferocity within the vessel of his soul.BZZZZZZZZZZT!The dark-red arcs of lightning that had been roaring to crush the entire arena suddenly formed an orderly rotation, shaping into a vortex of small lightning dragons that circled Alex’s chest. In

A century of the Razor Wind Torture along with the dissolution of the Black Dragon Pavilion!The terrifying sentence pronounced by Grand Elder Yao Lian was like a violent earthquake that shattered the entire arena. The members of the Black Dragon Pavilion instantly turned deathly pale, several of them collapsing limply to the ground, realizing that the glory of their faction had come to a tragic end today."No! Grand Elder, mercy! Please have mercy on me!" screamed the Black Dragon Pavilion Master hysterically, his body bound by golden energy cords and forcibly dragged through the air as Yao Lian prepared to take him to the holding cells of Punishment Cliff Peak.However, before her steps completely disappeared into the sky, Yao Lian paused briefly. Her ice-cold eyes cast a sharp glance down at Lao Yu, who was still kneeling and trembling amid the debris of the main stage."Lao Yu!" Yao Lian called out in a low voice that nevertheless resonated with the soul-crushing pressure of the G
