Rumble!
Almost as soon as Huang Ting transformed into a Fei Family Gu Immortal, he activated the arrangement below.
The forest shook, the earth trembled violently, and a deep chasm opened in the center. A large, pitch-black pearl slowly rose, elephantine in size, its surface smooth, and its Aura deeply restrained.
It was the Primordial Qi Child, an immemorial legend with Near-Immortal Venerable battle strength, its body composed of the three Qi of Heaven, Earth, and Man, with Heavenly Will infused within it.
It was so easily obtained by Huang Ting. After collecting it into the Human Sovereign Grotto-heaven, his figure flickered and he vanished from the spot.
"All Living Beings Luck has taken effect!"
Huang Ting was secretly delighted. This was completely different from the frequent mishaps he encountered when he went to seize Qin Dingling earlier; now, his wishes were almost instantly fulfilled.
He finally had the Protagonist Halo.
After hiding in a quiet place, Huang Ting used various methods to examine the pitch-black sphere, confirming that the Primordial Qi Childwas in a muddled state. He decisively activated Dragon Palace's Light Smoke in Dreams to suppress it, forcefully enslaving and brainwashing it.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Within the majestic and noble purple-gold palace, the black pearl squirmed. The forceful enslavement seemed to have awakened the Primordial Qi Child's consciousness, and it was resisting fiercely.
But Dream Dao killer moves were always effective. Soon, the pitch-black Qi mass became motionless, its surface constantly shifting, separating into three colors: pure white, golden, and clear radiance, becoming much more aesthetically pleasing, symbolizing the three Qi of Man, Earth, and Heaven.
Huang Ting only felt his soul sink slightly, as if a heavy stone had been placed upon it. This feeling was not unfamiliar; the beast groups controlled by Enslavement Path often burdened the soul.
With his exquisite Quasi-Grandmaster Enslavement Path attainment and his not-insignificant soul foundation, he estimated he could still bear another Near-Immortal Venerable level battle strength.
Immediately, he gave an order, forcefully awakening the slacking Primordial Qi Child.
Bang!
The three-colored Qi mass exploded, and an immemorial legend appeared, its entire body enveloped by a Qi mass, with tiny limbs and claws poking out, and eyes the size of grains of rice, resembling a three-colored glutinous rice ball, or a large Totoro, quite adorable.
The Primordial Qi Child respectfully responded, "Master."
"Very good." Huang Ting nodded and commanded, "Produce Rank Eight immortal essence stones."
Its chubby, cloud-like body leaped out of the Human Sovereign Grotto-heaven and arrived in the outside world. It opened its mouth and inhaled, and in an instant, the world transformed unpredictably as the rolling three Qi of Heaven, Earth, and Man converged.
The Primordial Qi Child continued to absorb for an entire day. When it exhaled, it transformed into crystal-clear jade stones, resembling white lychees in size.
These were none other than Rank Eight immortal essence stones, never before seen in the current Gu World, containing vast amounts of energy. One stone was equivalent to ten thousand Rank Six immortal essence stones.
Huang Ting lightly counted them and was surprised to find a total of [108] Rank Eight immortal essence stones, which meant a daily output of 1.08 million immortal essence.
Not only that, he discovered that if he lent the Qi Path Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, Hu Land, to the Primordial Qi Child to inhabit, the output would double. If he used a counterfeit Immortal Gu to simulate the Rank Eight Human Qi Immortal Gu, it would increase by another double.
Calculated this way, Huang Ting estimated he could have three hundred and sixty-five Rank Eight immortal essence stones per day, nearly ten thousand Rank Eight immortal essence stones per month, which was a hundred million in wealth.
"The restraint on the Primordial Qi Child's productivity is not the Qi of Heaven and Earth, but Human Qi. If the Human Qi stored in the Supreme Yin and Yang Formation is consumed, its output would probably be limitless."
Huang Ting considered, but decided not to use it for now. Neither Hu Land nor the counterfeit Immortal Gu cost much, but using the SupremeYin and Yang Great Formation would be expensive, so he would only use it in emergencies.
"As expected of the Primordial Qi Child! It can fight in battle and produce labor results in peacetime. Isn't that just a synonym for a workhorse?"
He sighed in admiration. Currently, he had about five thousand white lychee immortal essence in reserve. A considerable amount had been consumed for Gu refinement, deductions, and so on. From now on, he would probably not lack immortal essence.
The only concern was that these Rank Eight immortal essence stonescontained a large amount of Heavenly Will, which needed to be removed by various means.
In the original timeline, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's cost was high; refining the Heavenly Will from one Rank Eight immortal essence stone would consume half a white lychee immortal essence, barely breaking even.
Currently, Huang Ting was different. His Heavenly Dao attainment had reached Quasi-Grandmaster, and he possessed Heavenly Dao Dao Marks.
Whether it was modifying the Heavenly Tribulation Refining Gu Halland using the Rank Eight Heavenly Refining Immortal Gu to refine Heavenly Will in bulk, or placing it in the Great Dream Immortal Realmand constantly washing it with My Dream Gu, these were all excellent methods for processing Heavenly Will.
The cost would probably be one or two white lychee immortal essencefor every ten Rank Eight immortal essence stones refined, making it extremely cost-effective.
Moreover, the refined Heavenly Will could serve as Heavenly Daoimmortal materials, and using the Food Path killer move Flower Heaven Wine Earth could provide feedback as Heavenly Dao Dao Marks, making it a purely profitable endeavor.
Huang Ting had mastered the printing press, achieving financial freedom, and decided to vigorously support his Gu Immortals, raising their cultivation and increasing their Immortal Gu.
First, he focused his attention on the Great Dream Immortal Realm. Since the establishment of the Immortal Ascension List, several years had passed in the Grotto-heaven, and results were gradually appearing.
In the center of Human Sovereign Grotto-heaven.
Ten peerless Prodigies stood tall. Li Xuan and Yuchi Xin were apprehensive; no matter how great their achievements, they were nothing before that esteemed adult.
"I heard that the Blazing Emperor Supreme personally appeared. I wonder if we will be accepted as his Disciples."
They looked at the other two beside them, Ma Hongyun and Zhao Lian Yun, with immense envy.
Originally, these two also participated in the selection, making it to the finals. After Huang Ting discovered them, he felt they were taking up spots. He was selecting ten Human Path children; what were you, one from Luck Path and one from Wisdom Path, doing joining the fun? So they were removed from the list.
Only a few months had passed in the outside world, but several years had passed in the Grotto-heaven.
Ma Hongyun and Zhao Lian Yun had grown up. The former had become a heroic young man, though he occasionally revealed a hint of his simple nature with a silly smile. The latter's appearance was stunning, having fully matured, with a curvaceous figure and a graceful, dignified demeanor, becoming a Fairy.
Their talents were quite good, making rapid progress in Luck Path and Wisdom Path. Both had Quasi-Grandmaster attainments, and their cultivation had reached Rank Five. They could even fight to a draw with Mortal Geniuses who rose from obscurity and had hundreds of years of accumulation in dream Realms.
The two, along with the ten Human Path children, waited patiently. It had been almost ten years since they last saw their Master.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Soon, Huang Ting cast down a vast will, transforming into a lifelike body. The twelve people present respectfully responded, their words varied.
"Greetings, Blazing Emperor Supreme."
"Greetings, Master."
Huang Ting scanned this batch of new leeks with joy, especially the ten Human Path children. They had risen from having no apertures, enduring many hardships and scorn, and probably had the deepest understanding of Human Path.
"Good, Li Xuan... the ten of you step forward. I will personally open your apertures, bestow you with Luck, and grant you a halo of wisdom to accelerate your growth."
With a thought, he moved the Supreme Yin and Yang Formation from nearby, causing rolling black and white Qi to descend and cleanse the ten Human Path children. The Bearing Luck Cauldron above their heads spat out ten streams of purple-gold Luck, which flowed into their heads. He then unleashed the killer move [Apocalypse], and a seven-colored halo descended.
Everyone was immersed in the brilliance of wisdom, Dream Inspiration, and the computer immortal gu. Countless doubts in their minds were resolved, and their respective Immortal Gu Recipes gradually took shape.
Buzz, buzz!
Instantly, the Aura of the ten Human Path children soared, reaching Rank Five Peak. Each of them had deduced two or three brand new Human Path Immortal Gu Recipes.
In an instant, Huang Ting gained ten Gu Immortal-level Human Path achievements. He let out a hearty laugh, moved everyone out of the Human Sovereign Grotto-heaven, and then used a counterfeit Immortal Gu to simulate the Human Qi Immortal Gu to empower them. The ten Human Path children shattered their apertures to ascend to Immortality, all in one go.
The rolling Heavenly Tribulation and Earth Calamity had not yet descended before they were transformed by the Bearing Luck Cauldron.
Ten Human Path Gu Immortals emerged, each raising their Realm to the Human Path Grandmaster level through emulating nature. All possessed high-grade Human Path immortal apertures, with thousands of Dao Marks. With the help of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, they refined [more than twenty] Human Path Rank Six Immortal Gu.
Huang Ting used the Dream Dao killer move Zhuang Zhou Meng Die (Zhuang Zhou's Dream of a Butterfly) and the Wisdom Path killer move Collective Wisdom to continuously absorb their essence, which also allowed his own Human Path Realm to break through to [Grandmaster]!
Zhuang Zhou Meng Die allowed one to personally experience another's life. Although it couldn't directly grant true meaning, there would still be gains. Moreover, the Luck originally lent out from the Bearing Luck Cauldron not only quickly returned to its original state but also reached a higher level.
This was also the mystery of All Living Beings Luck: there is borrowing and returning, supporting latent Dragons, and receiving repayment from the Dragons.
In the Human Sovereign Grotto-heaven, Human Path had already begun to bear initial fruits.
He prepared to carefully comprehend it.
