Chapter 609: Chapter 0604: Suppression

The Dan Spirit made a startling discovery: the human’s heart could actually change color–this was truly unheard of.

What surprised it even more was that upon seeing this color-changing heart, the Dan Spirit suddenly felt a sense of veneration, an urge to bow and submit.

This was a slight to its dignity as the Dan Spirit of the Blood Star Holy Pill.

To this day, it had not seen any treasure more precious than the Blood Star Holy Pill, and yet here it was, the spirit of a Holy Pill, intimidated by a color-changing heart.

Buzz!

The Dan Spirit no longer focused on that and drew on the power within the Blood Star Holy Pill.

Just leaking one percent of the Blood Star Holy Pill’s power was enough to make a practitioner of the Late Guiyuan Realm explode.

As the medicinal strength of the Blood Star Holy Pill faintly dispersed, the color-changing heart beat even more vigorously, forcing the Dan Spirit to pay attention.

Then, as a wisp of the medicinal effect leaked out,

Chen Yu instantly felt a strong sense of life-and-death danger.

He felt his body uncontrollably absorbing that strand of medicinal effect, which would inevitably be too much to bear, causing him to explode and die.

But at the same time, his heart also began to transform.

Thump! Thump-thump-thump! Thump-thump!

It beat even more powerfully, an aura of taboo emanating from the depths of the heart, a faint trace slipping out.

Boom!

Just that tiny whiff of taboo presence was enough to stun everything; the medicinal power of the Blood Star Holy Pill that had leaked out seemed to solidify, completely immobile.

The Dan Spirit itself was dumbfounded, its mind went blank, losing the ability to think.

Chen Yu felt the emptiness in front of him, the howling wind, with a faint sense of shaking.

Thump! Thump-thump!

With each heartbeat of the mysterious heart, it seemed to touch the pulse of heaven and earth, causing a layer of space in one side of the universe to overlap with shadows.

The Blood Star Holy Pill, which was closer to the mysterious heart, was enveloped by a supremely domineering supreme power and pulled next to the heart.

The Blood Star Holy Pill, emitting a strange blood-red starlight, gradually quieted down, and its Dan Spirit, as if it had fallen asleep, vanished without a trace; the Blood Star Holy Pill turned into an ordinary sphere, its surface wrapped in a layer of blood-colored light film.

And that wasn’t all; the strand of medicinal effect released by the Blood Star Holy Pill, under the control of the heart, divided into countless filaments that swiftly moved within Chen Yu’s body, merging into his flesh, bones, and True Yuan.

All of this was beyond Chen Yu’s control.

Even though the effects that should have burst Chen Yu were there, under the guidance of the mysterious heart, it divided into countless parts and slowly got absorbed by him.

Still, Chen Yu felt swollen and in pain all over, as if his body was about to tear apart.

This process was relatively slow and lasted a long time.

Unconsciously, Chen Yu’s consciousness sank into endless darkness.

“What is this…”

Chen Yu’s consciousness, groggy, caught a glimmer of light.

Amidst the darkness, a heartbeat sounded, and then a vision appeared.

Chen Yu saw a blurry figure of a woman holding a crystal heart, her form indistinct.

At this moment, Chen Yu once again saw that vision, which seemed like a dream.

He already knew that his parents were not his biological parents.

If Chen Yu’s guess was right, the blurry figure before him, ethereal and loving, possibly showed a look of love and reluctance–she could very well be his own biological mother.

The vision continued.

A man’s voice came from the side, “Is this the… Eternal Heart? Can it change Yu’er’s cursed body?”

“Husband, Yu’er, farewell!”

“In exchange for my death, a life without reincarnation, I initiate… the… dying… wish…”

Words came one after another.

This time, Chen Yu could feel more clearly the emotions in the conversation between the man and the woman; they were very heavy and complex.

Chen Yu was also affected.

Boom! Whoosh!

In the vision, the heart suddenly struggled, abruptly transforming into a dazzling streak of crystal rainbow light that vanished into thin air in a flash.

“Where do you think you are going!”

The man roared angrily, an incredible force shaking heaven and earth; his majestic form ripped through the void, stepping into a dark and profound space.

This time, Chen Yu felt it even more clearly.

He vaguely sensed that the man in the vision seemed to have left the original world and entered an extraworldly space.

The next moment, the vision disappeared.

In a haze, Chen Yu regained his consciousness and sensation, and immediately opened his eyes.

“Could it be that my biological parents… are in another world!”

After waking up, Chen Yu pondered, guessing to himself.

Indeed, if that were the case, with such an immense universe and innumerable worlds, which one contained his biological parents?

That really was a difficult question.

But Chen Yu estimated that the world where his biological parents resided probably wasn’t too far from the Kunyun Realm.

He got up to move about, instantly feeling sore all over his body.

But this symptom quickly disappeared.

“My cultivation!”

After a careful inspection, Chen Yu was startled.

His cultivation level had increased tremendously, equivalent to saving decades of hard cultivation, and he was now very close to the Late Stage Guiyuan Realm Peak.

It should be noted that Chen Yu had just recently broken through to the Late Guiyuan Realm.

Of course, he also discovered a downside.

Although his cultivation level had advanced rapidly, the foundation was highly unstable, with many impurities in his True Yuan.

Chen Yu suspected that even if he got another Washing Spirit Pill of the same quality as before, it might not resolve his current problem.

The Blood Star Holy Pill was of high quality, but it wasn’t specifically designed for enhancing one’s cultivation level.

The Red Flame King had also said that the Blood Star Holy Pill was somewhat eerie and might not have undergone all of the alchemy steps, leading to some deficiencies.

“At least I don’t have to worry about raising my cultivation level for now, as long as I focus on refining my True Yuan and solidifying my foundation…”

Chen Yu smiled.

“That’s right, the Blood Star Holy Pill!”

Chen Yu checked his body again and this time, near his heart, he discovered a sphere.

The sphere was covered by a layer of blood-colored film, making it impossible to see clearly what was inside. Without him saying anything, no one would know it was the Blood Star Holy Pill.

Chen Yu focused his thoughts on the Blood Star Holy Pill.

Whoosh!

The next moment.

The Blood Star Holy Pill, wrapped in the blood-colored film, appeared in the Light Silver Crystal Space.

Come out!

With a thought from Chen Yu, he took the Holy Pill out again.

After coming out, Chen Yu felt a spiritual power awakening within the Blood Star Holy Pill.

Chen Yu carefully peeled away the blood-colored film on its surface.

He wanted to see what changes the Blood Star Holy Pill had undergone after being subdued by the mysterious heart.

Rip!

As the blood-colored film tore, the Blood Star Holy Pill was revealed before Chen Yu’s eyes, looking exactly the same as before, but with a more restrained aura and brightness.

“Master…?”

A hesitant and puzzled voice came from within the Blood Star Holy Pill. Chen Yu immediately knew it was the Dan Spirit.

But that title was chosen quite quickly, and it was so respectful!

Chen Yu quickly accepted it, after all, there was a precedent.

At this moment, indeed between him and the Dan Spirit, there was a faint and mysterious connection, different from a Spirit Pet contract, more like the relationship with an Artifact Spirit.

For example, powerful Spiritual Artifacts have Artifact Spirits, and even if the Spiritual Artifact is not in hand, as long as it is within a certain range, Chen Yu can communicate with the Artifact Spirit and control the Spiritual Artifact.

“Now, can you help me refine the Blood Star Holy Pill?” Chen Yu teased with a smile.

“Master, naturally, my existence is to serve you,” the Dan Spirit replied with a subservient laugh.

Although inexplicably controlled by Chen Yu, it still remembered what happened before.

Chen Yu’s eyes brightened, his heart excited.

He had only guessed before, but now that the Dan Spirit had spoken, Chen Yu could be certain.

Imagine that, the mysterious heart could even subdue the Blood Star Holy Pill!

“No one knows that I killed Fang Yan Yu to obtain the Blood Star Holy Pill, and with the Light Silver Crystal Space, even if I return to the Holy Land, the Master of Holy Land could not find out through an investigation.”

“So be it… the Blood Star Holy Pill is mine.”

Chen Yu made his decision.

Such a great benefit, even with some risks, Chen Yu was willing to take the chance.

“However, I would suggest to the master that, at this stage, it’s better not to use the Blood Star Holy Pill to enhance one’s cultivation level,” the Dan Spirit offered its advice.

“Why?” asked Chen Yu.

“The original intention of King Wan Yao when refining the Blood Star Holy Pill was to break through the Condensed Star Realm and aid the subsequent cultivation journey. Using it to increase the cultivation level of someone in the Guiyuan Realm would really be a waste.”

King Wan Yao had a very high attainment in medicine, and was famous in dozens of neighboring realms, with many Condensed Star Realm powerhouses visiting to request his Alchemy.

King Wan Yao knew his talent for cultivation was not high, at most reaching the Sky Sea Realm Peak, so he planned early on to refine such an Elixir.

From the Dan Spirit’s words, Chen Yu learned that King Wan Yao died before completing the final step, which caused the Elixir to have flaws, hence the peculiar Dan Spirit was born.

It seems that the Red Flame King’s guess was right.

However, the tiny flaws had almost no impact on the medicinal efficacy of the Blood Star Holy Pill itself.

“If the master consumes too much of the Holy Pill’s efficacy now, in the future, if you want to use this pill to break through the Condensed Star Realm, the effect will be significantly diminished.”

The Dan Spirit explained the reason.

“So that’s how it is!” Chen Yu suddenly understood, to enhance one’s cultivation level for a short period, reducing the true effectiveness of this pill, would be very uneconomical.

But in this case, isn’t the Blood Star Holy Pill of little use to the current Chen Yu?

This made Chen Yu a bit downcast, like being extraordinarily wealthy but unable to spend it.

“Master need not worry, as the pinnacle creation of King Wan Yao, aside from its incredible efficacy, the Blood Star Holy Pill has other uses that are quite beneficial to the master at this stage.”

The Dan Spirit sensed Chen Yu’s emotions and knowing his thoughts, spoke again.

Before, the Dan Spirit was selfish, only for itself.

But after acknowledging its master, everything was for the master.

“In the past, in order to refine this extraordinary pill, King Wan Yao gathered strong warriors from the Condensed Star Realm, slaughtered a Black Dragon King, and took its core as the main ingredient!”

“Master can use this pill to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth, and enhance your spiritual realm…”

“Hold on!”

Chen Yu suddenly interrupted the Dan Spirit.

Someone’s coming!

Soon, a figure appeared through the bloody evil winds–it was the Sky Passage Sect Master!

He was in quite a sorry state, covered with injuries, and with the body of the Evil Corpse, he looked even uglier and ghastlier.

“You’re still alive?”

The Sky Passage Sect Master was quite surprised and astonished to see Chen Yu.

He knew Fang Yan Yu’s strength well; perhaps there were more tricks up his sleeve.

He had guessed before that Chen Yu was very likely dead by now, and that Fang Yan Yu might leave directly or go back and depart with Fang Yanling.

Unexpectedly, the Sky Passage Sect Master didn’t find Fang Yan Yu, but he found Chen Yu instead.

“Where is Fang Yan Yu?”

The Sky Passage Sect Leader’s cold gaze swept over Chen Yu’s body as if searching for some clue.
