Celestial Refining Divine Scripture

Chapter 582: Chapter 580: Training Begins, 100,000 Celestial Soldiers

"It should be immortal energy—identical to the immortal glow shrouding the White Jade Tower."

The Blood Ming Divine Sparrow walked up to scrutinize it closely, then nodded.

He stole a glance at Xu Yang without betraying emotion.

Their eyes met, and Xu Yang gave a subtle nod.

For now, let us call this energy "immortal energy."

Yet it is not the Purest Essence Qi!

Nonetheless, this is without doubt a major discovery.

The forbidden, it can be transformed into immortal energy by the White Jade Immortal Soldier Order.

Truly exhilarating.

"If it’s immortal energy, wouldn’t that mean it can be absorbed and refined?"

Shi Hu rubbed his palms together, so excited he could scarcely restrain himself.

"Let this old man try first."

The Blood Ming Divine Sparrow curled his palm and drew forth a wisp of immortal energy.

Xu Yang also fixed his gaze on the Blood Ming Divine Sparrow.

The giant bird swallowed the immortal energy in one gulp.

Buzz!

A moment later, the Blood Ming Divine Sparrow’s eyes blazed: "Indeed remarkable! This power enters my body and surges through my hundred bones, transforming my strength and foundation at their very root!"

"But if one seeks a vast improvement, a great quantity will be needed!"

Shi Hu and Stone Jade, both, were swept up in excitement.

Meanwhile, a transmission from the Blood Ming Divine Sparrow rang in Xu Yang’s ear: "This immortal energy, compared to the essence you refined earlier, is a degree inferior; they are like branches from the same origin, but in essence, the Purest Essence Qi is the greater!"

Xu Yang thought secretly, "Just as I expected!"

Purest Essence Qi is indeed extraordinary!

For those of the Spirit Realm, this immortal energy is nothing less than a heavenly path to immortality! freewebnσvel.cøm

But as for him, transforming it into Essence Qi was preferable by far!

Xu Yang swept his sleeve.

Three wisps sped to Shi Hu, Stone Jade, and the Blood Ming Divine Sparrow; he took the remaining two himself.

One wisp entered his body at once.

The other entered the divine cauldron and was refined into Essence Qi.

Half an hour later.

Xu Yang slowly opened his eyes.

He felt personally—the gulf between immortal energy and Essence Qi truly exists!

It seems the Purest Essence Qi is yet purer, immaculate, and holds even more mysterious effects.

Moreover, paired with cultivation of the Celestial Refining Divine Scripture, the Purest Essence Qi seems to refine one’s constitution as well.

"Changing the constitution... now, that is remarkable indeed."

"My heavens, this immortal energy’s effects are astonishing!"

"It can directly transform one’s very foundation!"

"With the Immortal Soldier Order, is that not a direct path to immortality?"

"Outside, there are countless forbidden powers..."

After Shi Hu refined the immortal energy, he burst out excitedly.

Stone Jade was barely managing to keep calm, yet, the flush of excitement on her face betrayed her inner turmoil.

"Someone’s coming down."

Xu Yang suddenly saw a bone boat descending above: "Let’s hurry and tell the Patriarch and the others."

"Let’s go."

The group moved forward at a brisk pace.

Several breaths later.

Three bone boats successively landed.

Nine in total!

Shi Feng was among them, the rest were all Shenxiao Realm powerhouses as well.

Seeing Xu Yang’s group safe and sound, Shi Feng and the others broke into pleased expressions.

"Anything found below?"

"Did you already investigate that tall tower?"

Shi Feng quickly asked.

Even while descending, the first tower could be seen distinctly.

"Wait, who is this?"

Shi Feng suddenly fixed his gaze on the Blood Ming Divine Sparrow, surprise flashing in his eyes.

A top Shenxiao cultivator!

Utterly unfamiliar.

And just now, was it not only three who descended?

Several gazes all swept toward the Blood Ming Divine Sparrow.

Before Xu Yang could introduce him, the Blood Ming Divine Sparrow cupped his fist, "Scarlet Blood Training Field, Blood Ming Divine Sparrow, greetings, Mr. Shi!"

"Scarlet Blood Training Field... Blood Ming Divine Sparrow, you..." Shi Feng stared in shock.

As a Patriarch of a premier force, Shi Feng had heard of most Shenxiao Realm elites in the Spirit Realm.

As a mighty ancient beast, Blood Ming Divine Sparrow was not unknown to him.

The key was—why was he here?

Xu Yang hurriedly explained: "Patriarch, previously Shi Hu and I went to the Scarlet Blood Training Field. By chance, Senior Blood Ming joined us on the way!"

On hearing this, Shi Feng’s mouth twitched, and he looked oddly at Xu Yang.

He truly didn’t know how to phrase it.

"Ahem, so you came along with Mr. Xu—no wonder."

"Mr. Xu, you are remarkable, bringing Brother Blood Ming along as well!"

"Hahaha!"

"Then you’re no outsider."

The gathered cultivators exchanged laughter, yet in their hearts, all were deeply awed by Xu Yang’s influence.

This was simply astonishing.

A top Shenxiao Realm cultivator, willing to follow just because he said so!

After all, the Blood Ming Divine Sparrow is no ordinary Shenxiao elite.

As a mighty ancient beast, he is now the only remaining bloodline throughout the Spirit Realm; his strength is monstrous, standing out even among his peers.

The Blood Ming Divine Sparrow nodded slightly to the assembled strong, then moved to stand by Xu Yang’s side without a word.

Clearly, he would follow Xu Yang’s lead!

This scene made Shi Feng raise his brows.

At once, Xu Yang shifted the topic, conveying all they had discovered.

After listening, joy and astonishment warred upon the faces of the crowd.

"Patriarch, let’s go to the first Training Tower," Xu Yang suggested. "That Immortal said training officially begins in three days—if we try going now, perhaps someone will appear. If not, and we can’t obtain the Immortal Soldier Token, we’ll need to hurry to the next Training Tower."

"Also, if our guesses hold, it may be best to wait for more people to arrive and then proceed together."

Shi Feng, hearing all this, instantly grasped Xu Yang’s intent after a brief pause and nodded slightly.

Once again, the group came to stand below the White Jade Training Tower.

The swirling immortal radiance, the unseen immortal might—it sent tremors through Shi Feng and the others’ hearts.

The path of immortality!

The road to the heavens lay before them—who could remain calm?

Even the strongest among the Shenxiao were no exception!

"Patriarch, based on what happened before, just walk up to the tower," Xu Yang said solemnly.

Shi Feng gave a slight nod, beckoned, and the nine all stepped up beneath the tower together.

Buzz!

No response whatsoever.

The glow atop the tower remained tranquil; the young Immortal did not appear either.

All frowned in unison.

Xu Yang sighed, "It seems only the first time can trigger it."

"In that case, when heading to the second Training Tower, we’ll need to wait for the others to descend as well."

Wait for a crowd, then go to the tower!

Shi Feng’s ugly expression quickly eased.

Seeing that Xu Yang’s group had obtained Immortal Soldier Orders meant this route worked!

Just a little patience was all that was required.

Afterward, none of them idled.

They continued searching the area for remnants of forbidden items, while waiting for more to descend.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In that time, Shi Feng and the others discovered several Training Towers nearby.

Hundreds above had all now come down by bone boat.

Upon learning everything, all were mightily elated!

As others went to the towers for the Immortal Soldier Orders, Xu Yang’s group of four came to the first Training Tower, orders in hand, and proceeded toward the lofty structure.

The tower had no door.

But as they neared the White Jade Tower, in an instant, its surface became illusory!

Upon seeing this, all four did not hesitate—ahead they strode, entering together.

Buzz!

Immortal light flashed atop the tower, and the four vanished from where they stood.

Within the tower, an expanse of spacious White Jade Plaza appeared.

Opposite the four, an illusory figure slowly emerged.

It was none other than the young Immortal from before.

"Today, the training formally commences!"

"Of one hundred thousand immortal soldiers, how many will pass will depend on your own ability."

Upon hearing this, the four’s eyes popped wide.

How many?

A hundred thousand immortal soldiers?
