Towards the Path of Heaven

Chapter 143

Knowing how difficult it was to condense spirit runes, Mu Wan was extremely worried about Yan Chutian. It would be nice if he managed to condense the spirit runes. That would make him possess a shocking power in the first level of the Elixir Realm and surpass his comrades. But if he failed, the consequences would be disastrous!

But no matter how worried he was, there was nothing he could do. Yan Chutian had already started condensing spirit runes, and once he started, he could not stop. The only result is success or failure.

In the depths of the cave, Yan Chutian was silent and focused. Right now, his eyes were still closed, and he looked into his dantian. He looked at the newborn Elixir Realm and was still a little tender.

Furthermore, he would condense two spirit runes on this nascent Elixir Realm. Since he was going to condense two spirit runes, Yan Chutian naturally knew how difficult it was.

But even if he knew, he had to do it. Just by condensing two or more spirit runes, he would have the strength to fight against the Holy Sons in the fourth level of the Elixir Realm.

Moreover, he had prepared it for a long time, so he was not without confidence. He had spent nearly a month and a half preparing for the condensation of two spirit runes at the same time!

Exhaling lightly, Yan Chutian slowly circulated his spirit energy. Then, he combined it with the things he had prepared and started condensing spirit runes.

During the process of compaction of spirit runes, time returned to being of the essence. In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed. During this half day, Yan Chutian did not dare to relax at all. In fact, he's getting serious. The closer to the end, the more he was unable to make a mistake. Otherwise, all his previous attempts would have been futile and he would have failed miserably.

During this half day, no matter how careful Yan Chutian was, there were several times he had almost failed. During these times, Yan Chutian's meticulous preparation came into play and helped him survive the failure.

So half a day later, success or failure will depend on this one step. He had to completely condense two spirit runes in the Elixir Realm!

This is the last step and also the most important step. All the previous refinements were to make spirit runes appear in the Elixir Realm, and this was the final step.

With a heavy heart, Yan Chutian finally began to condense spirit tattoos on the potion. Under his best control, the sword-shaped spirit tattoo slowly solidified in a certain part of the elixir. However, he had only condensed half of the sword mark as an incomprehensible crumbling desire surged like a tide. It's impossible to stop.

This scene also made Yan Chutian's expression ugly. But how could he just give up? He immediately clenched his teeth and persisted, forcefully stabilizing the spirit rune and continuing to condense it.

However, even though he barely managed to survive, the feeling of collapsing continued to spread. This caused Yan Chutian's expression to become even uglier. It seems like he has taken it for granted. Although he was Yan Chutian, and had a foundation of experience, he was unable to defy heaven in every aspect.

If he could not finish compaction of two spirit runes at the same time, how could he condense the second one?!

"Suck!"

Yan Chutian clenched his teeth and shouted. He was still unwilling to give up and persevere bitterly. Its persistence was indeed useful as it slowed down the collapse of the spirit runes. But there are limits to that. If this continues, failure will be the only outcome.

This possibility made Yan Chutian feel helpless. Even though he knew that he had taken it for granted, the price to pay was too high. If he failed to condense spirit runes, he would not be able to condense other spirit runes in a short period of time. Moreover, he would also suffer backlash and damage to his dantian for a long period of time.

Overall, the greater the profit he would gain if he were to succeed, the more severe the consequences he would have to bear if he failed. Everything in this world is relative. Even he couldn't avoid it.

However, knowing that the consequences of failure were unimaginable, Yan Chutian could only watch the spirit runes collapse. The rune lines he had tried to solidify continued to collapse bit by bit. In the blink of an eye, less than half of the sword-shaped spirit runes remained.

After a while, even someone as determined as Yan Chutian was on the verge of despair. At the same time, he let go of his last weak attempt. He knew that he would fail miserably this time.

With the integration of this aura, Yan Chutian was surprised to find that the spirit runes had stopped collapsing. Instead, it automatically showed signs of condensation. Starting from the origin where only the head was left, spirit runes slowly condensed and formed.

Seeing this scene, Yan Chutian did not hesitate. Overjoyed, he hurriedly continued to condense the spirit runes.

However, the sudden reversal of the situation also made the subsequent condensation of the spirit runes seem to be beyond Yan Chutian's control. Although the spirit runes were still sword-shaped, it was only a rough line. There was a mysterious rune that Yan Chutian did not know about appearing on the sword blade. It carried a dense ancient aura that would make one feel intimidated.

Although the appearance of these mysterious lines made Yan Chutian feel no harm, this was not his intention at all, so how could he remain calm?

Soon after, the second spirit rune was also the same. This time, he did not need to condense spirit runes. At the beginning of condensation, a wisp of aura surged and integrated into the Dantian.

This time, even the shape of the spirit runes changed drastically. The original square cauldron turned into a three-legged golden cauldron. On the body of the cauldron, also appeared mysterious and ancient lines. These lines were different from the lines on the sword-shaped spirit runes, but were clearly from the same source!

This strange scene completely overshadowed Yan Chutian's excitement at successfully condensing two spirit runes. This was because he knew in his heart that if not for the sudden strange change, the compaction of his spirit runes would only end in failure. How did he succeed?

Yan Chutian then tried to activate those spirit runes. However, activating two spirit runes was not a problem at all. Just like the spirit runes he had mastered in his previous life, those mysterious lines were just lines and would not affect him in the slightest.

Under such circumstances, even if Yan Chutian still believed that this mysterious line must have a special meaning, he could only leave it for now. If not, what else can he do? He had never heard this phrase before. He had never even heard of anyone who could disturb the condensation of spirit runes.

Overall, this cultivation could be considered a success, and he had fulfilled all of his expectations. At the very least, he had condensed two spirit runes, which had made Yan Chutian have high confidence in facing the top Holy Sons who were around the fourth level of the Elixir Realm.

Moreover, with these two spirit runes, his cultivation speed could also increase by leaps and bounds. After all, almost all condensing spirit runes practitioners were far from being able to compensate for their cultivation speed. No one is like him, which really turns things around.

Then, when Yan Chutian walked out of the cave residence where he had secluded himself for almost two months, Mu Wan, who had been watching him for a long time, was, immediately came to him and asked in a worried tone that the two of them could understand.

"How's it?!"

Seeing that Mu Wan was extremely worried, even if Yan Chutian was still worried by his sudden strange situation, he could not bear to let her worry. Therefore, he smiled faintly and slowly opened his palm at an angle that only the two of them could see.

"After going through so many dangers, I finally succeeded."

Seeing the two spirit runes that disappeared in Yan Chutian's palm, Mu Wan heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he glared at Yan Chutian sharply and said mercilessly, "Why are you so impulsive! It's good that you succeeded, but if you failed, have you ever thought about how serious the consequences would be?!"

"Haha .. This is something that cannot be avoided. If you want to compete with that top Holy Son as quickly as possible, how could you not take the risk?"

"Hmph, don't you still have me? At most, I'll go and reclaim that slot!"

Mu Wan snorted. However, before she finished speaking, her beautiful face inevitably turned red. That was because his words sounded too ambiguous. Even fools can hear it.

And sure enough, when her beautiful eyes quietly looked up, she saw that Yan Chutian was looking at her with her mouth wide open in surprise. This immediately made Mu Wan's pretty face even more burning. He hurriedly looked away and said, "No matter what, you should discuss with me before making any decisions in the future. I think that woman definitely doesn't want you to do such a crazy thing.
