The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu-Chapter 399: Displaying Their Unique Abilities

Realizing that the gap between himself and the Ancestor Burning Heaven lay in their vastly different levels of knowledge, Duan Tianwu couldn't help but feel the disparity. Ancestor Burning Heaven, relying on his complete version of the Evil Phoenix True Eye, could instantly master anything he learned, giving him an overwhelming advantage—he possessed knowledge tens of thousands of times greater than Duan Tianwu.

Thus, Duan Tianwu wanted to develop a pill that would allow him to learn everything instantly.

As a peerless demonic cultivator, the first thing that came to his mind was refining a demonic pill made from human materials.

What would happen if he threw a fourth-grade Alchemist into the alchemy furnace? Would it be possible to refine a pill that, once consumed, granted the knowledge of a fourth-grade Alchemist?

This pill would seal a person's entire inheritance, and upon ingestion, the consumer would instantly obtain that inheritance, eliminating the need for decades or even centuries of study.

This pill was simply too heaven-defying. No matter what field one wanted to master, as long as they refined an outstanding expert from that domain into a pill and consumed it, they could instantly acquire that knowledge. Others might take hundreds or thousands of years to learn, but with this method, he could master everything in an instant.

At this thought, a sinister smile curled at the corner of Duan Tianwu's lips. With this approach, he could learn anything he desired simply by continuously consuming these pills. If eating something allowed him to gain mastery over it, then how difficult would it be for him to obtain all the inheritances in the world?

Finally, he made up his mind. He would develop this pill and name it Inheritance Pill.

The Inheritance Pill was so heaven-defying that it might even attract the legendary Heavenly Tribulation. But Duan Tianwu was confident—if such a miraculous pill couldn't secure him first place in this competition, then nothing would.

With his fists clenched in excitement, his expression radiated absolute confidence.

Meanwhile, sitting beside him, the Ancestor Burning Heaven also revealed a confident smirk.

Compared to the first two contestants, his approach was less extreme, so the insights flooding his mind were not as exaggerated.

However, comprehension is about quality, not quantity. No matter how many ideas one had, in the end, they could only choose one to develop.

Inspired by the power of the Enlightenment Tea, he suddenly had a bold idea—what if he could develop a pill that awakened one's past-life memories?

Everyone was curious about their past lives. Were they mere mortals, or had they once been extraordinary figures?

If someone had been a legendary figure in a past life, consuming this pill would be an unimaginable stroke of fortune—they might recall incredibly powerful ancient inheritances that had long been lost to history. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The Ancestor Burning Heaven’s eyes gleamed with ambition. His aspirations were too grand—he was no longer content with mastering all current knowledge. He wanted to claim the lost inheritances of ancient eras as well.

Perhaps his immediate past life was unremarkable, but what about the life before that? Or the one before that?

Out of a hundred past lives, there had to be one where he was a truly unparalleled existence! By consuming this pill, he might recall powerful techniques lost for millions of years.

If he could bring back such forgotten legacies, he would be unstoppable.

Having made up his mind, he named this creation the Hundred Lives Pill.

The Hundred Lives Pill was so heaven-defying that it, too, might attract Heavenly Tribulation. But he was determined—if this pill couldn't secure him first place, then nothing would.

With his fists clenched, he resolved to perfect this pill.

At the same time, the other contestants—Long Yuyao, Feng Shuang, and Wang Wu—all radiated an air of absolute confidence. Clearly, they had each come up with their own astonishing, heaven-defying creations.

Minute by minute, time ticked by.

The judges and spectators remained completely silent, their gazes locked onto the contestants, filled with anticipation.

The judges, in particular, were especially focused.

In this round of the competition, contestants would be scored based on the originality of the pill recipe they created. Additionally, both the pills and their recipe would become the property of the tournament organizers. To prevent the theft or leakage of these groundbreaking recipes, all the judges were selected from the Ten Great Empires.

They eagerly awaited the results—what kind of legendary pill recipe would these geniuses create?

Some of these recipe might be so heaven-defying that they could greatly enhance the overall power of an entire empire.

This was something that no nation could afford to ignore.

The waiting time always felt long. The anxious judges were growing restless, while the contestants, who were in a state of enlightenment, were completely unaware of the passage of time.

At this moment, inside the Soul Library, Long Xuan held a pill recipe in his hands, his face filled with excitement.

In this world, there was nothing that couldn’t be achieved—only things that had yet to be imagined. As long as one could conceive an ability, theoretically, it could be realized in this world.

The idea of a terrifying pill capable of creating a physical body seemed utterly unbelievable, but in theory, it was actually possible.

Normally, such an exaggerated pill would have been impossible for him to develop, even with the help of his golden finger.

However, the power of the Enlightenment Tea was just as unfathomable. Under its effects, he had actually managed to successfully develop the Bone-Regenerating Blood-Melding Pill.

Even he found it somewhat unbelievable—he hadn’t expected himself to create such a heaven-defying pill.

The success of the Bone-Regrowing Blood-Mending Pill filled him with ecstatic joy. However, the thought of submitting such an incredible recipe made him reluctant.

After all, this pill allowed any soul possessor to instantly obtain a perfect physical body, with potential talent that could even surpass their previous limits.

The sheer defiance of heaven’s will displayed by this pill clearly surpassed that of ordinary Heaven-Defying Pills. How could he be willing to hand it over?

He decided to stick to his original plan and create another pill recipe instead.

Extending his soul power outward, he discovered that only two days had passed. Time was not just sufficient—it was overwhelmingly abundant.

After all, he had the Soul Library as his cheat, and the flow of time inside was different from the outside world. Naturally, his speed in creating pill recipe would be far superior to others.

Seeing that he was far ahead of the other contestants, Long Xuan no longer felt rushed. He returned to the Soul Library and began brainstorming ideas for his second spiritual pill.

His original approach remained the same—he didn’t need the most heaven-defying idea, just the most practical one for himself.

Thinking about what he needed most at the moment, Long Xuan immediately decided that his second pill would be the Aphrodisiac Pill.

Don’t misunderstand—this was a serious alchemical pill.

His Gold-Eating Insect had undergone its evolution after consuming Heavenly Gold. Now, what he urgently needed to do was to expand its numbers rapidly.

Gold-Eating Insects only became truly terrifying when they formed a swarm of thousands or even tens of thousands.

Without large-scale reproduction, a single peak-grade Gu insect, no matter how powerful, would never be as fearsome. In fact, in limited numbers, it would be better suited for refinement into a Gu talisman.

Long Xuan wanted to recreate the Gold-Devouring Insect from cultivation novels, turning them into a vast, overwhelming swarm capable of devastating enemies. However, the reproduction of peak-grade spirit insects was extremely difficult. The ranking of these creatures made their reproduction rate a hundred times slower than that of ordinary high-grade spirit insects.

If left to natural growth, even after a thousand years, they might not multiply significantly.

Thus, developing a heaven-defying pill to accelerate the reproduction of peak-grade spirit insects was absolutely necessary.

Long Xuan named this pill the Estrus Pill. It would work on all peak-grade spirit insects, triggering their mating instincts and drastically increasing their reproduction speed.

In this world, peak-grade spirit insects were exceedingly rare. Back when he was in the Far West Market, he had not encountered a single one in several years. The sheer significance of a pill that could rapidly reproduce such creatures was beyond imagination.

A pill of such heaven-defying nature might not trigger Heavenly Tribulation, but it would undoubtedly cause spiritual anomalies, making it more than sufficient to serve as his submission.
