Looking around, deep within Medicine Spirit Mountain.
Immortal waterfalls cascaded, and ancient herbs exuded fragrance.
Auspicious light shimmered, and the sound of the Dao hummed.
It was as if one had arrived at a paradise on Earth, a secluded haven.
The world seemed to be filled with a special, indescribable Immortal rhyme.
And in the center of this world.
There was a lake.
Calling it a lake, it was actually more like a small pool, as its scope was too small.
Its diameter was only about three zhang.
And within this three-zhang small pool.
Endless radiance flowed.
It was a substance that was both liquid and gas.
Transforming between the two forms.
Accompanied by wisps of white mist rising.
The white mist sometimes transformed into a True Dragon, sometimes into a Divine Phoenix, and sometimes into a Qilin.
It was as if it could evolve all living beings.
At the same time, it was accompanied by an extremely special Immortal Dao Qi, giving one the feeling of touching the truth of the world.
"This is…"
Jun Xiaoyao immediately felt that this was an extremely special energy.
Different from any substance in the Immortal Realm or Nine Heavens.
"This is why we can take human form," Bodhi Seed said directly.
"This power…"
Jun Xiaoyao reached out and touched a wisp.
He immediately felt that his cultivation Realm seemed to subtly tremble.
He felt as if every cell in his body was craving this power.
"This is a substance that transcends the energy of the Immortal Realm…"
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes were deep.
As is well known, there are many energies in the world.
Cultivators, at the very beginning, absorb the essence of heaven and earth to form a spiritual sea in their Dantian.
In addition, there are many special powers.
Such as Chaos Qi, Solar Sacred Power, Taiyin Sacred Power, and so on.
And the Supreme Seven Realms use various different Law energies.
But now, the special substance Jun Xiaoyao encountered.
It felt like it surpassed the many energies of the Immortal Realm, as if it were the power of another world.
"We call this thing Immortal Material."
"The reason why our Medicine Clan beings can take human form is also because we absorbed this Immortal Material," Bodhi Seed said.
It could be said that this was the biggest secret of the entire Medicine Spirit Mountain.
Outsiders generally could not explore it.
Jun Xiaoyao was only able to know all this after gaining complete trust.
"Immortal Material…"
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes were very bright.
He could feel that every cell in his body was craving this Immortal Material.
That craving came from the most primitive instinct of living beings.
Just like a newborn baby instinctively craves milk when he is born.
"Senior said that you came to the Nine Heavens from a 'door', so does that mean that this Immortal Material also originated from that 'door'?"
Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"That's right, exactly," Bodhi Seed said.
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered.
He knew how important this Immortal Material was.
Not to mention that he was currently at the Heavenly Venerate Realm.
Even an Emperor Realm Expert would absolutely crave this Immortal Material if he saw it.
This was an energy that did not exist in the Immortal Realm, surpassing many energy substances.
A flash of inspiration struck Jun Xiaoyao's mind, and he suddenly took out the top-tier Emperor Weapon, the Nine Li Diagram.
Chi You Demon Emperor once wanted to refine the Nine Li Diagram into a true Immortal Artifact.
But he lacked a special substance.
"Could it be…"
Jun Xiaoyao instantly understood.
What was the substance missing for forging an Immortal Artifact?
It was precisely the Immortal Material before his eyes!
The Immortal Artifacts that had been passed down in the Immortal Realm for so many epochs were all legacies left over from the extremely ancient era.
In other words, in recent eras, no one had been able to forge a true Immortal Artifact.
The Lu Family, the Mo Family, and other forging families dreamed of forging an Immortal Artifact.
But at most, they could only forge a quasi-immortal artifact.
Why?
It was precisely because of the lack of this Immortal Material.
Moreover, this Immortal Material was not only related to Immortal Artifacts.
This substance, even for an Emperor Realm Expert, held infinite temptation.
Because if there was enough of this substance, it would absolutely be possible for them to achieve extreme sublimation and reach the Peak again.
Even, Jun Xiaoyao suspected.
If the legendary Mythical Emperor refined a large amount of Immortal Material.
Is it possible for him to achieve Immortal Ascension?!
Jun Xiaoyao took a deep breath.
He also didn't expect that he would discover such a significant secret because of Medicine Spirit Mountain.
He also understood what kind of attraction that 'door' held for true supreme experts.
Because that was their best chance for extreme sublimation.
"Could it be… those slumbering forbidden zone bigwigs are all waiting for the appearance of that 'door'?"
"But what is the connection between the appearance of that door and the great turmoil?"
"And before, Bodhi Seed already said that that door seemed to have been sealed and never fully opened again."
"Who exactly sealed that 'door'?"
"And what do the Chief Priest and the Chief Priest ceremony mean?"
Jun Xiaoyao understood some things.
But there were still some things that needed to be resolved.
He always felt that behind this 'door', there was a huge conspiracy.
It was definitely not as simple as an opportunity for sublimation and Immortal Ascension.
He also thought of the mastermind behind the scenes who fought against the Desolate Emperor.
"Don't tell me that the mastermind behind the scenes is also one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were the four apocalyptic riders who brought about the final destruction of the world in the Holy Bible of his previous life.
They were War, Famine, Plague, and Death.
The Ultimate Calamity was the Plague among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
So, in that case, which one of War, Famine, or Death was the mastermind behind the scenes who fought against the Desolate Emperor?
"Little friend, it seems you need this Immortal Material."
Bodhi Seed saw Jun Xiaoyao summon the Nine Li Diagram and ponder.
He thought Jun Xiaoyao needed this Immortal Material.
Jun Xiaoyao came back to his senses and chuckled.
"I'm afraid there's no living being in the entire Immortal Realm and Nine Heavens who doesn't need this Immortal Material, right?"
This Immortal Material would be desperately craved by experts of any Rank.
However, the only regrettable thing was that the Immortal Material before him was indeed a bit scarce.
It was only the size of a small pond; although rare and precious, the quantity was too small.
"In other words, there might be a large amount of Immortal Material in that 'door'."
"Even… if that 'door' is a passage, is the world behind the 'door' the true Immortal Realm?"
Jun Xiaoyao's thoughts wandered.
The Immortal Realm was already an extremely Advanced world.
Did a world more Advanced than the Immortal Realm truly exist?
And also, the "Source" that had been mentioned all along.
Was that Source connected to the world behind the "door", or was it unrelated?
The more Jun Xiaoyao thought about it, the more he felt that there were still many places in this world that he didn't understand.
Even with his current experience, he had only touched the tip of the iceberg of this world.
This world was vast and magnificent, far more mysterious and colorful than he had imagined.
Jun Xiaoyao became even more determined in his belief to become stronger.
One day, he would understand the great truth of this world.
Just as Jun Xiaoyao's mind was wandering.
Bodhi Seed said, "If little friend needs it, then all this Immortal Material will be given to little friend."
"Senior, this is too precious…"
Jun Xiaoyao also didn't expect Bodhi Seed to be so generous.
After all, this was Immortal Material, something even Emperor Realm bigwigs would scramble for, related to extreme sublimation.
Bodhi Seed, however, smiled and shook his head.
"Although Immortal Material is precious, we have already taken human form and absorbed quite a bit."
"Little friend is truly selfless; not only is he willing to protect us, but he also gave us Spring of Life water and even World Tree branches."
Bodhi Seed understood the principle of reciprocating kindness.
Upon hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao was not polite and nodded with a smile.
