Chapter 1594: Appropriate Preparations

A burnt smell came from the Blazing Dragon Cauldron. He had failed his refinement of the Empyrean Pill yet again. This was already his third try.

According to his calculations, they should all have succeeded. However, for some reason, the moment they merged, the medicinal powders instantly ignited and turned to ash.

After failing three times, even Long Chen was starting to lose confidence.

Taking a deep breath, he calmed himself down. The worst thing was to be vexed while refining pills.

After two hours, he began his fourth refinement. This time, he was delighted to see the medicinal powders finally merge together with the Heavenly Dao Fruit. There was no unexpected expulsion.

Not daring to tarry, he controlled his flame carefully to merge them. After an hour, the Blazing Dragon Cauldron quivered ever so slightly. The lid popped open, and a translucent pill appeared.

Perhaps it shouldn’t be called a pill. There was no fragrance, no pill lines, no fluctuations of a medicinal pill whatsoever. It looked completely ordinary.

It was like a pearl of unclear water. It was exceptionally unremarkable. Long Chen stared at it for a long time. Had he succeeded or not?

However, in the end, he gave it to Guo Ran. After eating it, the two of them waited patiently to see any changes.

Just as Long Chen’s heart was sinking, Guo Ran let out a startled cry as his aura began to transform. An aura of primal chaos appeared. Although it wasn’t very dense, it was definitely the aura of primal chaos.

“Boss, I really have become an Empyrean!” cried Guo Ran, filled with excitement.

Guo Ran could feel some kind of new energy awakening within him. His sense of the Heavenly Daos was also growing clearer. It felt like he was the ruler of this s.p.a.ce, as if all the surrounding Heavenly Dao energy belonged to him.

Sensing the aura of primal chaos growing stronger within Guo Ran, Long Chen finally sighed with relief. After losing four Empyrean Heavenly Dao Fruits, he had finally succeeded.

Long Chen couldn’t help but smile bitterly. His luck was really garbage. Why had this formula been the last one? If it had been the first, he would have saved three Empyrean Heavenly Dao Fruits. That would have represented three new Empyreans.

However, he was used to his bad luck, so he brushed it off. It was fine since he had succeeded in the end.

Long Chen continued refining. With this experience, he completed the refinement of the eleven remaining Heavenly Dao Fruits.

He distributed them to Gu Yang, Li Qi, and Song Mingyuan. Yue Zifeng was devoted to the Sword Dao and didn’t use Heavenly Dao energy to a.s.sist him.

According to Yue Zifeng’s deduction, the Sword Dao should be above the Heavenly Daos. Cultivating the Sword Dao was to go against the heavens. Therefore, he shouldn’t completely comply with the will of the heavens.

Long Chen naturally didn’t force Yue Zifeng to consume it. Now there were eight more Empyrean Pills. Two of them were for Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er, but Long Chen struggled over the remaining six.

Originally, he was saving one for Yue Xiaoqian. He didn’t know how she was, or whether or not she needed one.

According to the Seventh Elder, Yue Xiaoqian was currently secluded in the original devil race’s inheritance land. If she came out, she would definitely come to find him immediately.

As for Ye Zhiqiu, Long Chen hadn’t gotten any news of her. All he knew was that she was in the Northern Xuan Region.

However, considering she possessed an innate ice spiritual body that led to a powerful expert coming to find her and have her join her sect, she was definitely important to them. Considering the change in heaven and earth, any sect with any foundation would condense all their karmic luck onto their most talented disciples so that they could become Empyreans. Ye Zhiqiu most likely didn’t need his Empyrean Pill.

After thinking over it, he kept the two Empyrean pills for Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er and gave the remaining six to Gu Yang.

He told Gu Yang, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and Yue Zifeng to pick out an a.s.sistant amongst their own groups.

The four of them were captains. At first, the Dragonblood Legion had only had three hundred and sixty members, but now there were over twelve thousand. For the four of them to lead so many people was clearly a bit taxing. Promoting four vice-captains could lessen the burden on them.

As for the other two, Long Chen told Gu Yang to pick out the two strongest wood cultivators. They were the strongest s.h.i.+eld of the Dragonblood Legion’s lives. With two powerful Empyreans amongst them, their healing capabilities would rise and their enemies would have even less chance of targeting them.

It could be said that they were the secret heroes of the battle of the Grand Han. Without them, then no matter how hard the Dragonblood warriors had fought, it would have been unavoidable to have some casualties. So Long Chen cared deeply about the healers’ abilities.

When those two women received the Empyrean Pills that could change their future, they were full of grat.i.tude toward Long Chen. Long Chen had changed their lives. Originally, their talent wasn’t particularly exceptional, but now they had ascended with Long Chen into the sky. They had never dreamed that they would become legendary existences.

Gu Yang, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and Yue Zifeng all picked out their a.s.sistants and gave them the Empyrean Pills. It wouldn’t be long before twelve terrifying Empyreans would appear in the Dragonblood Legion.

Furthermore, after the battle of the Grand Han, all the Dragonblood warriors could become rank nine Celestials whenever they wanted. This terrifying legion was definitely the one with the greatest potential in the entire continent.

Long Chen told everyone to keep quiet about their advancement. It would be best if the outside world did not learn of it yet. Even the new disciples who had just joined were to be kept in the dark about it. Who knew if any spies had mixed into the crowd?
