Deep within the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Ze moved with fluid precision, completing the concoction of a Ninth-Grade Mysterious Pill—the Sacred Heart Glazed Pill—without a single hitch or moment of danger. Given his current mastery of alchemy, crafting a Ninth-Grade Mysterious Pill no longer posed a significant challenge.
What truly weighed on Xiao Ze was the prospect of crafting a Ninth-Grade Golden Pill. It was not merely the sheer difficulty spike, or the fact that no one had succeeded in crafting one for thousands of years; it was his lack of understanding regarding the properties of the Heart of All Stars, the primary ingredient for such a pill. He possessed a decent grasp of the Bodhi Heart, as it shared the same origin as the Bodhi Seed from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, and having refined Bodhi Seeds numerous times, he was familiar with their nature. The Heart of All Stars, however, was a mystery, his only knowledge gleaned from fleeting legends.
Above the deep reaches of the Heavenly Tomb, thunderclouds gathered in an instant, thick with boundless elemental power. Xiao Ze, however, paid them little mind. No matter how formidable the thunder might be, it was merely Black Demon Lightning. The Ninth-Rank Golden Divine Lightning he possessed was the king of all thunder; even Black Demon Lightning had to bow before it.
