Spirit Vessel -
Chapter 1255: Ninth-level Heaven’s Emergence
The shell’s radiance included saint laws the size of dragons. Tsunami occurred in all directions.
Within were five stars with cosmic fog around them.
“Damn, saint pills, just like the legends!” The turtle salivated and trembled in astonishment.
The flood dragon nearly fainted from excitement while sniffing the air. The energy from the pill was immensely thick, changing its very nature.
Saint pills were as rare as saint artifacts and took longer to refine. They required saint-level materials needing kalpas to grow.
The five pills must have been in this shell for at least one million years, nourished by more than ten shark kings as their heirlooms.
The current shark king strengthened the formations again before the trip to Spirit Immortal World and ordered ten pseudo-saints to watch.
In theory, no one below the saint realm should be able to break the formations. Alas, he didn’t expect someone to be using an artifact such as the Xuanyuan Blade.
Feiyun became emotional but quickly calmed down: “There should be a tribulation, the pills have not consolidated enough.”
“Yes, still need several hundred thousand years. They can be considered demi-saint pills though. One might be enough for me to try and become a saint.” The turtle said and sent an energy claw to grasp one pill.
The pill erupted and a lightning bolt destroyed the claw. It was sentient with a soul and reacted against danger.
A true saint pill would be as intelligent as a cultivator, not to mention having enough firepower to contest against a saint. Any mishap and they would kill their creator as well. This would allow them to evolve and gain a humanoid form, becoming a pill saint.
Perhaps the group was lucky that these pills were still nascent.
“Wow, so strong. We’ll see about that.” The turtle began fighting the pill.
They soared into the sky and delved into the sea. Eventually, he suppressed it enough to swallow it for cultivation.
He meditated on the ship with rotating saint laws. His aura became increasingly monstrous.
Feiyun and Xuanyuan Yiyi entered the radiance, preparing for a fight.
The blood dragon did the same but it was rendered unconscious immediately. It had a long way to go before being able to deal with a demi-saint pill.
Feiyun suppressed three pills, handing one to the dragon and another to his Trinity Cauldron. The final was for himself.
The remnant one was meant for either Dongfang Jingyue or Long Luofu.
The dragon was moved to tears and yelled out repeatedly: “Long live Boss Feng! Long live Boss Feng!”
Xuanyuan Yiyi relied on her blade and Earth’s End Ruler to suppress the final pill. She ate and assumed meditation, emitting a white glow.
The fruit was a natural wonder and had innate saint laws already so it didn’t need a pill. However, no one could eat the fruit due to its toughness. If it could become fully intelligent, it would be a fruit saint.
In a sense, it already possessed the body of a saint, only missing the ability to stimulate its true potential. No one could stop its ascension once the time was right.
The vessel continued onward under the control of Feiyun’s remnant intent for another three years.
The turtle was the first to refine the pill. Saint laws flowed on the surface while energy oozed out of every pore in the shape of a divine turtle.
Its aura was immense compared to before. Each breath had the sound of thunder.
“Grand completion accumulation.” The turtle’s eyes shot out two beams piercing the sky, destroying two stars in the process.
The process of becoming a saint was divided into five stages - intent, embryo, reaction, accumulation, and spirit.
Intent came at the eighth level of Heaven’s Emergence, also known as pseudo.
Embryo required the ninth level, or demi.
Three years ago, the turtle was in the initial accumulation stage so this was an enormous leap. Others would have needed ten thousand years.
Of course, the pill could have been more potent but he only took in enough, dispersing the rest. Otherwise, a tribulation could have descended.
These were extremely dangerous and he wasn’t sure of success. Therefore, further consolidation was wiser. It was virtually unbeatable now and could fight some saints with Xuanyuan Blade.
Feiyun also changed dramatically, obtaining 10,000 saint dao. Each looked like a heavenly pillar supporting his inner core. The latter also transformed into something resembling an egg.
“Dao Embryo.” A tiny embryo was sleeping within the egg.
This meant Feiyun was at the ninth level, a demi-saint. The medicine didn’t stop and his saint laws increased in number until 300,000.
However, the embryo didn’t react. Feiyun understood the pill alone wasn’t enough despite having only spent one percent of its medicinal property.
He didn’t waste it like the turtle did and sent them into the spirit beasts instead. Moreover, he also gained phoenix bones in the process, going all the way to 732 bones.
The pill was spent at this point and he stood up. His energy seeping from the pores resembled tiny dragons.
“Myriad Beast Physique.” He uttered and the 10,000 spirit beasts appeared. Each had at least 3,000 saint laws. The most excellent had 6,000 and was in the eighth level of Heaven’s Emergence.
When adding everything together, Feiyun had 48,000,000 saint laws.
“Shit, how are you so monstrous? I only have 8,000,000 saint laws at my stage. It seems like you have more.” The turtle spat on the ground.
Normally, an excellent cultivator only had around 1,000,000 saint laws or so at the embryo stage. Feiyun was completely absurd.
“I have around 48,000,000 laws with the beast physique.” Feiyun said casually.
The turtle nearly fainted after hearing this: “You’re going to be able to fight saints soon.”
He thought he was a badass for having 800 times more saint laws than a regular demi-saint. However, Feiyun made him feel bad.
“When I finish my beast physique or reach grand completion with the phoenix physique, I’ll be able to fight a saint before reaching this realm.” Feiyun clenched his fists and gazed at the sky; his battle intent surged continuously.
