Chapter 2299: Chapter 2346: East Emperor

The woman in the luxurious purple dress acted decisively.

Since she had made up her mind, she held nothing back, taking out the Divine Breath Sacred Fruit and the other two main ingredients she had spent years preparing.

Following that, she laid out over a hundred supplementary ingredients one by one. Although they were supplementary, the value of each one was in no way inferior to the Top-level great medicines in the Yun He Inferior Sage Medicine Garden. Without a century of accumulation, gathering the ingredients before them would have been as difficult as scaling the heavens.

Even Jiang Fan felt a degree of psychological pressure. If he failed, the loss would be immeasurable.

He took a deep breath. "Don’t let anyone disturb me."

He immediately sat cross-legged, silently adjusting his breathing for several two-hour periods. Only when his Soul Power and Sage power were perfectly balanced, and his state of mind was completely peaceful, did he release his Soul Power to purify the numerous ingredients.

Watching Jiang Fan’s professional-looking Alchemy process, the woman in the luxurious purple dress felt slightly relieved. At the same time, she maintained strict vigilance.

Time trickled by. A full two days later, Jiang Fan opened his eyes, visibly mentally exhausted.

"Just purifying the ingredients has completely drained my Soul Power," he remarked.

"Refining an Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill is much harder than I expected.

"But what comes next is the most crucial part!"

After a brief adjustment, he took out the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod, igniting the fire and heating the Pill Furnace. Strictly following the Pill Recipe, he controlled the furnace fire with absolute precision. Once everything was ready, he divided his attention, simultaneously controlling the flames and meticulously managing the types and quantities of ingredients being added.

The woman in the luxurious purple dress breathed softly, not daring to make a single sound. She didn’t even dare to stare at Jiang Fan too much, lest it put mental pressure on him.

With over a hundred supplementary ingredients, a single mistake in the proportion, heat control, or timing of any one of them would cause all their previous efforts to go to waste. However, when she occasionally glanced at Jiang Fan and saw his skillful and steady posture, she couldn’t help but feel secretly surprised.

She had once had the privilege of watching a Seven-star Soul Master perform Alchemy, but even that Seven-star Soul Master didn’t seem as proficient as Jiang Fan.

She wondered, "Is it possible that this guy actually has a chance of refining an Eighth-grade Spiritual Pill?"

A full day later.

All the ingredients had been thrown into the Pill Furnace; what followed was the most critical step. Sitting cross-legged before the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod, he continuously cast profound Seal Techniques into the Pill Furnace, controlling the fusion of the materials within.

As time slowly ticked away, wisps of pill fragrance, containing faint traces of Law Chains, slowly began to drift out from the furnace.

Somewhere in the world.

A Phoenix fled for its life, frequently glancing back and letting out agitated, endless cries. Far behind it, a figure sprinted in relentless pursuit. It was none other than the undeterred Tongyuan Realm Master!

The Source Soul Heaven Pill was his only hope of restoring his soul to its peak, so he naturally wouldn’t give up.

Suddenly, the Phoenix seemed to sense something, looking in astonishment toward Jiang Fan’s direction.

As a former Saint Realm expert, the Tongyuan Realm Master’s senses were even more extraordinary. He exclaimed in shock, "The aura of an Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill?

"It’s faint and brand new. Is someone refining an Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill?

"In the current heavens, the number of people capable of refining an Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill can be counted on one hand.

"And they are all unique existences from the Four Great Realms and the Divine Capital. Which one of them could it be right now?"

His eyes gradually brightened.

"If I can befriend this person, why should I stubbornly cling to this specific pill?"

With a flash of his body, he shot toward the direction of the pill fragrance.

Meanwhile, in a world filled with holy radiance not far away.

A massive Angel statue towered over the land. Resting on her outstretched palm was an Immortal Palace surrounded by white clouds. At the top of the steps inside the palace sat two thrones.

One was empty, while a burly and steadfast middle-aged man with a square face sat alone on the other. Behind him were nine pairs of golden wings, exuding an oppressive, supreme aura.

He was none other than the East Emperor Nine-winged Archangel of the Northern Heavenly State!

Standing below the steps with her head bowed was Linglong. Her hands were clasped together, her index fingers twiddling anxiously. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were downcast. She seemed to be in a difficult position.

Beside her stood Xia Chaoge, who displayed neither sorrow nor joy. She was as tranquil as still water.

The East Emperor Great Angel rested his gaze on Xia Chaoge and said,

"Under my protection, Jiang Fan has successfully returned to Central Earth.

"And according to the latest news, the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis has fallen.

"Jiang Fan is safe.

"I have fulfilled my end of the agreement to protect his life. Now, it is time for you to fulfill yours!"

With a wave of his hand, a snow-white long dress and a coronet flew out, landing in front of Xia Chaoge.

Linglong’s expression changed slightly as she whispered, "East Emperor, your taking another Concubine is a matter of great importance. Shouldn’t we wait for the West Empress to return before discussing this?

"If she hasn’t given her permission, what if she vents her anger on Chaoge?"

A wave of powerlessness washed over her heart. What was so good about that bastard Jiang Fan? To think she would actually sacrifice herself to this extent for him!

During her youth, Chaoge had undergone atavism, inheriting much of the Bloodline Power of her Holy Angel ancestors. She had become the Proud Daughter with the strongest Holy Angel Bloodline in the entire Northern Heavenly State.

The East Emperor Great Angel had harbored greedy desires for her ever since then. He wanted to have a child with Xia Chaoge, hoping that the child would inherit her Holy Angel Bloodline. That way, when the Dark Tide erupted, if he were to fall, he could carry out Possession of their child. Relying on the powerful Holy Angel Bloodline, not only could he rapidly rebuild his cultivation, but he might also break through the shackles of this life and assault a higher realm.

Fortunately, the West Empress Great Angel had sensed his intentions. She explicitly rejected it and sent Chaoge to Central Earth, aiming to dispel the East Emperor Great Angel’s delusions.

Upon Xia Chaoge’s return this time, the East Emperor didn’t dare to make any further moves out of fear of the West Empress. However, not long ago, the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis announced to the heavens that he was hunting down Jiang Fan. Worried for Jiang Fan’s safety, Xia Chaoge took the initiative to beg the East Emperor to intervene.

How could the East Emperor pass up such an opportunity? Now, it was time for Xia Chaoge to fulfill her promise.

Xia Chaoge remained expressionless. Without accepting the snow-white long dress that symbolized the Angel wedding garb, she said, "I want to see him with my own eyes to confirm he is still alive."

A flash of hostility crossed the East Emperor’s eyes. Since when did he ever intend to help Jiang Fan? Had Jiang Fan been even a step slower in fleeing back to Central Earth, he would have directly taken action to strangle him to death.

He absolutely would not allow his designated Concubine to have another man in her heart. Suppressing his hostility, he said, "You don’t believe me?"

"I just want one look," Xia Chaoge said calmly.

The East Emperor began to ponder. He didn’t think Jiang Fan could still be alive. Not long ago, the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis had personally pursued him all the way to Central Earth. Jiang Fan had nowhere to run and was undoubtedly dead.

At this moment, he suddenly sensed something and looked toward the sky outside. Shock surged in his eyes as he murmured, "An Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill is about to be born?

"What profound expert is performing Alchemy outside my Northern Heavenly State?

"Chaoge, wait a moment. I will go and return shortly."

Setting aside his marriage with Chaoge, his form turned from solid to ethereal as he disappeared into thin air.

After he left, Linglong let out a slight sigh, then glared at Chaoge reproachfully.

"How could you not discuss such a huge matter with me?

"Is he really worth it?"

Xia Chaoge replied calmly, "There is no such thing as being worth it or not.

"Even if Jiang Fan no longer remembers me, as long as he is safe, my heart is content."

As she spoke the last word, an uncontrollable trace of sorrow still flashed deep in her eyes. She had already begged the East Emperor to activate a secret technique, erasing all traces of her existence in Central Earth.

Jiang Fan... probably didn’t remember her anymore, did he?
