Chapter 1024  : The Nine Orifices Divine Infant

The Nine Orifices Divine Nascent Pill.

The cultivators in the Star Ocean would have been stunned if they knew about this. This pill was a real Divine Pill and had endless uses, but it was also a forbidden pill at the same time. None of the ordinary cultivators—not even Grand Cultivators—would dare to make it.

Apart from the difficult refining method and the rare recipe, it involved various taboos. Many people had tried and failed to make the “Nine Orifices Divine Nascent Pill” in all of recorded history, becoming mad in the end. So, nobody would try to make the pill if it wasn’t necessary.

“Buzz!”

The infant was born with nine orifices and was an inch tall. It was enveloped in a golden aura and its face had clear features like a real baby would. The only difference was that it had a closed eye on its forehead and belly button.

“Boom, boom!”

When the Divine Infant opened its eyes, the entire room shook. Countless runes appeared on the walls and there were silver patterns on the floor, blocking the strong energy waves from the Divine Infant. However, even though this was the toughest room Mount Emperor had and was claimed to be able to withstand an attack from a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord, it seemed to be a bit overwhelmed at the moment.

The silver patterns were destroyed and the raging energy waves filled the entire room. They turned into some golden waves, as if they were about to break the walls.

The energy even leaked outside of the room and shook the entire Mount Emperor, astonishing countless cultivators.

“Form!”

Chen Fan showed his true appearance and stuck out his finger with a serious look.

He poked the forehead of the Divine Infant and a beam of light was shot out from the finger. The light immediately turned into countless patterns all over the Divine Infant’s body.

The Divine Infant shook slightly, then slowly closed its eyes. Its nine orifices were shut, as if it were in a deep sleep.

“Phew!”

Chen Fan was relieved.

This golden Divine Infant seemed to be important to him. He had never been so serious before, even when he was facing the elders of Mount Emperor and Divine General Mangya.

“The Deity Wheel was indeed made by a Deity from Heaven. It’s much stronger than the Nine Orifices Divine Nascent Pill after all, or I would have been severely injured.”

Chen Fan carefully drew some tiny patterns on the Nine Orifices Divine Infant with his finger. He finally took a deep breath when the infant shut all its orifices and wasn’t moving anymore.

“Damn it. I should never make such a kind of pill next time if I’m not powerful enough.”

An elder outside tried to reach Chen Fan with a Dharma Artifact, but Chen Fan told him he was practicing. Then, he shook his head.

It was too difficult for him to make a Divine Pill.

Even a Soul Formation Grand Cultivator had to be careful while making Divine Pills, fearful of the disasters that could be caused by the process.

Divine Pills were given by God!

They were like the children of God.

When ordinary people made such pills, they were going against God’s will and they would suffer all sorts of calamities.

However, once they were completed, their power would be beyond imagination. The “Nine Orifices Divine Nascent Pill” was a taboo among the Divine Pills and only Chen Fan had dared to make it.

“Hm, nothing happens, as expected. Looks like the True Martial Sky-severing Array stopped them. Otherwise, one Soul Formation Thunderbolt would have been enough to crush me to pieces.”

Chen Fan sized up the golden Divine Infant and shook his head.

“The pill isn’t perfect. It can’t reach its full potential and it’s not a real Divine Pill, just like the fake Grand Cultivators and the Dao Fruit. Still, it’s enough for now. It’ll be too overwhelming for me to make a real Divine Pill at this level.”

Even if it wasn’t a perfect Divine Pill.

Chen Fan was also satisfied.

Being able to make the Nine Orifices Divine Nascent Pill was beyond his expectations. He thought he could only use the blood of the Grand Cultivator to enhance his body and gain part of the Soul Formation Laws’ power.

With the Nine Orifices Divine Nascent Pill, Chen Fan would have the chance to do whatever he wanted.

“Swallow!”

Chen Fan ate the Nine Orifices Divine Infant.

The Divine Infant turned into a beam of golden light and flashed into Chen Fan’s mind. There was a huge space and countless golden clouds of Immortal Will inside. Suddenly, a one-inch Nascent Soul fell from the sky and landed on his mind.

“Boom!”

At that moment.

There were beams of golden light shining over the entire mindspace.

This wasn’t the end.

Chen Fan sat with his legs crossed and he put his hands in front of his chest. He placed his thumbs and index fingers together, the middle fingers and ring fingers crossed and the little fingers cocked.

Chen Fan closed his eyes and shouted, “Form!”

The clouds and golden mist in his mind were immediately gathered, forming a golden swirl. It wasn’t big at first, but it grew as more and more mist came, enveloping the entire mind.

“Refine!”

Chen Fan crossed his fingers and changed his Dharma Seal.

“Swish!”

The golden swirl spinned swiftly and it moved increasingly faster. In the end, there was only a ray of golden light. The swirl also became more concrete and it shrank to the size of a thumb.

“Drop!”

When the golden swirl spinned 3650 times.

A drop of golden liquid dropped from the center of the swirl onto the Nine Orifices Divine Infant. The Divine Infant shook slightly and its eyes seemed to be about to open, but the runes restrained it. The golden liquid covered its whole body, seeping into its skin.

“Again!” Chen Fan yelled.

One drop, two drops, three drops...

In the end, nine drops of golden liquid came out from the swirl. The glitters on the Divine Infant’s body were dimmed by this, completely becoming dark golden in the end.

“Phew!”

Chen Fan took a deep breath.

He finally refined the Nine Orifices Divine Infant. It was only a seal before, but then the liquid formed by Immortal Will had refined its body. Chen Fan had paid a huge price to make this happen.

Chen Fan’s mind used to be full of golden mist, but only half was left at the moment. Those plumes of mist were technically his Immortal Will and Soul Energy.

In the past, when Chen Fan sent out his Immortal Will—

He could cover four thousand miles, which was even further than that of Nascent Soul Cultivators. Ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators could see things in two thousand miles and could only sense anything further, but not in detail.

From this reference, one could see that Chen Fan’s Immortal Will was much stronger than normal Nascent Soul Cultivators, almost reaching the peak-stage Nascent Soul Level.

However, after forming the nine drops of golden liquid and refining the Nine Orifices Divine Infant, Chen Fan couldn’t even scan five hundred miles with his Immortal Will, which was ten times less than before.

“But it’s well worth it.”

Although Chen Fan’s Divine Soul felt weak, he was extremely excited and energetic.

That was the Nine Orifices Divine Nascent Pill!

Being a forbidden Divine Pill, its main use was not intended for nourishing the body, increasing power or healing. If an ordinary person took it, he would be able to become the most powerful Nascent Soul Cultivator immediately, but this wasn’t something Chen Fan wanted.

The biggest use of the Nine Orifice Divine Nascent Pill was “soul refinement!”

What was soul refinement?

When Chen Fan was reborn, he cultivated the “Ancient Soul Refining Art,” a cultivation art the ancient cultivators used to enhance their Immortal Will. After completing the art, one would have a more powerful Immortal Will than normal cultivators and could even use it to form swords.

And yet, after reaching the Golden Core Level, normal Soul Refining Arts couldn’t satisfy Chen Fan anymore.

At the moment.

Chen Fan completed the nine transformations of the Deity Wheel at the Golden Core Level and could be regarded as the top Golden Core Cultivator across the universe. His Azure Thearch Longevity Body was also at the Great Perfection Level. He had completed five paintings of the Twelve Sky Art Paintings and finalized nine Divine Forms. His body was much stronger than a Nascent Soul Body and he was only half a step away from creating a Soul Formation Body, also known as the Immortal Golden Body.

His Golden Core and body were both strong, but his Immortal Will was far behind.

He was certainly stronger than normal Nascent Soul Cultivators, but he was nowhere near to the level of those young Overlords born with a Nascent Soul Body deep in the Star Ocean.

“In my last life, I heard that the young Azure Thearch of the Five Elements Immortal Sect was born a Nascent Soul Cultivator and automatically became a Grand Cultivator once he became an adult. The Soul Energy inside his body is a hundred times more powerful than that of ordinary people and can form more than one Immortal Will Flower in his head. My Immortal Will has reached the limit after forming nine drops of liquid. There’s still a long way to go for me to be able to form Immortal Will Flowers.”

Chen Fan shook his head.

He wanted to cultivate the most perfect Golden Core and to fight with the top Overlords in the Star Ocean, so he had to improve his Immortal Will.

“The Nine Orifice Divine Infant is called a taboo because it can refine the Immortal Will for a cultivator and it can let out medicinal power to nurture the Divine Soul at the same time. When necessary, it can also be used as the Immortal Will of the Nascent Soul Level.

“When I finish refining the Nine Orifice Divine Infant, my Immortal Will will have the battling power of a mid-stage or even peak-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator. It’s me, and I’m it. It’s like I have an extra Immortal Will from a Nascent Soul Cultivator who has cultivated for ten thousand years.

“This is the Immortal Will benchmark of the disciples from the real sacred grounds or Celestial Sects in the Star Ocean, but not the Nascent Soul Cultivators on Planet Tianhuang.”

Chen Fan focused on his mindspace.

The nine orifices of the Divine Infant then opened slowly and constantly sucked in the golden mist inside Chen Fan’s mind. After refining the mist in its body, the golden mist shrank, but became denser and brighter, like real gold.

And when the Immortal Will went through the Divine Infant—

Chen Fan could feel that it was a hundred times stronger. The Immortal Will came out of his body, then out of the room and the arrays of Mount Emperor, scanning everything in ten thousand miles, including the wind, rocks and grass.

Chen Fan was thrilled.

He knew his Immortal Will had finally been improved.
