Chapter 1412: Fourth-grade Spirit Pill
The Divine Calculator faced the restriction left by the Luan Kong Great Saint of the Demon Clan with a confident demeanor, leaving even Chen Nan puzzled about the source of his confidence.
He was clearly a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator ranking weaker in battle, yet often unexpectedly reliable.
This time too, he did not disappoint Chen Nan, as the Divine Calculator carefully took out a small jade bottle from his bosom, pouring out two elixir pills from within.
Each pill had several lines on it, which naturally appeared during the refining process; the more lines, the higher the quality of the elixir pills.
The elixir pill the Divine Calculator held had no less than nine lines, marking it as top-notch quality.
As an Alchemist, Chen Nan could tell from the fragrance of the elixir pills that their rank was not low, at least Fifth Grade and above, yet he could not identify what kind of elixir they were.
Before he could ask, the Divine Calculator boasted about the origin of the elixir pills.
"This is the Void God Pill, a Fourth-grade Spiritual Pill, acquired by Daoist from a certain Secret Realm. There are only these two, consider it a bargain for you, as some people never see such high-grade elixir pills in their lifetime."
Even though he had his guesses, upon knowing the elixir was a Fourth-grade Spiritual Pill, Chen Nan was still greatly startled.
Fourth-grade elixir pills—most people in the Nascent Soul Realm have never consumed such high-grade pills, and presently there is not a single Alchemist on the Nine Provinces Continent capable of refining Fourth-grade elixir pills.
Thus, every time a spiritual pill is consumed, one fewer remains.
"Look at you, acting like you’ve never seen the world," the Divine Calculator mocked disdainfully upon seeing Chen Nan’s eyes light up. "What’s a Fourth-grade elixir pill? Daoist has taken even more powerful ones!"
Chen Nan didn’t believe this, so his ears filtered it out automatically.
"What does the Void God Pill do?"
"Very simple, the Void God Pill can temporarily transform a person into a ’void’ state. In this state, you seem like a shadow, as if floating outside the world; nothing can stop you, nor can anything touch you."
The pill’s effect surpassed Chen Nan’s imagination, and he couldn’t fathom what kind of materials were used to refine such a heaven-defying pill.
"Let’s go. After consuming the Void God Pill, all restrictions become ineffective against us. We can also use this state to evade cold air and the Gang Wind."
The Divine Calculator tossed the pill, caught it with his mouth, and consumed it immediately.
Soon, his arm slowly vanished, becoming invisible even to the naked eye or by using Divine Sense, yet he could distinctly feel his existence.
The void state spread from his arm to his body, until eventually, his entire being disappeared into the air. When Chen Nan reached out, he found his hand passing through the Divine Calculator’s body.
"Is this the void state? Truly impressive!"
The Divine Calculator didn’t lose any of his smug tone, "Absolutely, although the body is voided, you can still use your Magic."
If the Void God Pill is used in battle, whether for escape or attack, it offers a significant advantage, allowing even the weak to have a chance against the strong.
Unfortunately, due to the high rank of the elixir pill, Chen Nan does not know the pill recipe, so his idea to refine a few more Void God Pills ended before it started.
Seeing there were no side effects for the Divine Calculator, Chen Nan quickly consumed a Void God Pill too, and soon he was completely voided like the Divine Calculator, invisible even to himself.
"Hurry, the effect of the elixir will only last for two hours, which should be enough for us to reach the bottom of the Heavenly Cutting Abyss."
The Divine Calculator called out, leading the way to the Forbidden Array. As a ripple spread across the Magic Array Barrier, his voice came from within the Array.
"It works! Junior Brother, come quickly, there might be an opportunity waiting for us beneath the Heavenly Cutting Abyss."
Chen Nan quickly stepped forward, and just as he was about to enter the restriction, he abruptly stopped.
"Junior Brother, are you inside?" The Divine Calculator’s voice sounded again.
"Brother Dao, please wait a moment, I’ll be right there."
Chen Nan suddenly thought of Tu Susu and the others, knowing that learning of his death must have pained her greatly. Now that he’s alive and heading to the unknown depths of the Heavenly Cutting Abyss, no one knows what lies there.
So he wanted to reassure her first.
Taking out a Communication Jade Talisman, Chen Nan input a message, and only after a long wait did he receive a reply, probably due to the enormous distance.
"Husband, are you really okay? That’s wonderful, I just knew you’d come looking for me!"
"Tell me where you are, I’ll send someone to fetch you. Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone harm you!"
Feeling pampered, Chen Nan felt secretly pleased, enjoying the feeling of someone caring deeply for him, a testament to affection.
"I’m at the Heavenly Cutting Abyss."
After Chen Nan sent the message, Tu Susu’s reply took even longer than before, causing some inevitable worry.
But eventually, he received a message from Tu Susu, which seemed full of shock.
"You’re still at the Heavenly Cutting Abyss? Luan Kong is already dead, no one can open a spatial channel for you, how will you return?" Tu Susu’s question hit the mark.
"Temporarily not returning."
"You’re insane, what’s so captivating there? Are you really planning to enter the Heavenly Cutting Abyss? I absolutely forbid it!"
Chen Nan eventually managed to calm Tu Susu down, promising to prioritize his own safety before ending the communication.
When the Divine Calculator assumed Chen Nan had finished, to his surprise, Chen Nan pulled out another Communication Jade Talisman.
This one had been left for him by Liu Hanyue, for contacting him anytime.
To Chen Nan’s surprise, the jade talisman was filled with messages from Liu Hanyue, asking if he was okay, how he was doing, with an evident concern throughout.
Imagining Liu Hanyue’s heartbreak upon hearing of his self-destruction, he immediately sent a message to reassure her.
As Chen Nan expected, at this moment, Liu Hanyue’s cave residence had virtually become a gathering place for distraught women, with both Liu Hanyue and Ning Yu there.
Upon hearing of Chen Nan’s self-destruction, Liu Hanyue and Ning Yu had wanted to head to the Heavenly Cutting Abyss no matter what, determined to retrieve a piece of flesh as a memento even if he was truly dead.
Ultimately, they calmed down, as there was no Teleportation Array to the Heavenly Cutting Abyss, nor could they break through space themselves, and flying there would take decades.
By then, even Chen Nan’s flesh would’ve weathered away beyond recognition.
Yet, even dismissing the idea of going to the Heavenly Cutting Abyss, they were still uncontrollably heartbroken, causing an atmosphere of sorrow in the cave, which deterred disciples like Qin Yuzhu from entering.
Suddenly receiving a message from Chen Nan, Liu Hanyue leaped up with excitement.
"Thank heavens, I always knew my husband is hard to kill. Surviving a self-destruction of the Golden Core is just too incredible!"
