Chapter 1637: Chapter 1636: Miao Ruynin of the Myriad Immortals Kingdom

Pill beasts, surprising everyone.

In fact, there have always been rumors about the pill beasts of the Pill Tower.

But many people have never truly seen them.

Because pill beasts only appear when the Pill Tower faces danger.

Prior to this, the ten major families ruled the Heaven Extreme Realm.

The Lue family dominated the Northwest, and All-Heaven Alchemy City flourished and prospered. Who would dare to challenge the Pill Tower?

This also contributed to pill beasts becoming mere rumors.

Unfortunately, no one expected the terrifying pill beasts to turn into two ordinary statues.

For thousands of years, they had been guarding the entrance.

No one would pay attention when looking at them.

The Gong Ringer laughed and said, “You don’t need to defeat the pill beasts, just withstand ten moves.

Then you qualify to enter.”

The pill beasts are very strong. Some say they are at the Great Saint level.

Others say they are at the peak of the Great Emperor level.

But undoubtedly, in the eyes of the world, pill beasts are indeed powerful enough.

In this world, don’t be fooled by the Great Saints everywhere, with Great Emperors more numerous than dogs.

But in the Nine Domains, with vast territories and the Hundred Clans standing firm.

Now, under such fundamental conditions, it’s inevitable that there are many strong practitioners.

Among a hundred people, not one is a powerhouse.

Among a thousand or even ten thousand, one ought to emerge, shouldn’t they?

……

The Gong Ringer’s words fell.

The crowd had already erupted into discussion.

By joining the alliance, one could have pills personally refined by the Lue Family’s alchemists.

Passing the pill beast assessment could allow one to meet the Kun Roc Crown Prince and the Lue Family Saintess, possibly providing a chance to practice the Supreme Pill Scripture.

This benefit tempted many to give it a try.

“I am willing to join the alliance,” someone shouted.

“Good, go there to receive pills and the unified identity token.”

The Gong Ringer laughed loudly.

At once, the sound of gongs and drums echoed.

Immediately afterward, countless people followed suit.

Most people have a blind herd mentality.

If no one shouted, they might not have shouted.

But when there are many people, many will follow and shout together.

“I want to challenge the pill beasts.”

Someone else shouted.

Soon, the area in front of the Pill Tower was bustling.

Xu Zimei looked up.

Although the Pill Tower was called a tower, it was only seven stories high and not conspicuous.

Moreover, its architectural style was not attention-catching either.

“Let me give it a try,” Xu Zimei said.

He wanted to see how this so-called alliance would resist him, someone coming to destroy All-Heaven Alchemy City.

Someone saw Xu Zimei appear.

Quickly shouted, “Hey, why are you cutting in line?

If you want to challenge the pill beasts, queue at the back.”

Xu Zimei glanced at him lightly.

The surrounding void condensed, and powerful forces silently passed through the void, landing on that person.

With a “bang” sound.

That person instantly turned into a blood mist.

The previously noisy crowd also quieted down completely.

Seeming to realize Xu Zimei too was a ruthless figure.

The Gong Ringer beside him had a flicker of surprise in his eyes, watching the scene with a smile.

Xu Zimei approached the statues.

The two statues transformed into shapes, constantly roaring at Xu Zimei.

Speaking of these pill beasts, they were certainly not ordinary creatures.

They were artificially created anomalies.

In the Lue Family, there is a secret technique that bestows life on pills.

Of course, this so-called life is not true life.

More like puppets.

Pill beasts are made from innumerable discarded pills, feeding on them, with mixed power inside, very domineering.

Watching the two pill beasts roar.

Xu Zimei didn’t mind and instead turned to the Gong Ringer and smiled, “I shouldn’t have a problem destroying them, right?”

“If Taoist Friend has the ability, I naturally have no objections.”

The Gong Ringer shrugged.

As soon as his words dropped, his entire being suddenly had wide-open eyes, seemingly holding his breath.

Xu Zimei walked forward.

The two pill beasts at the peak of the Great Emperor level were like toy dolls, directly pinched in his palm.

With a “boom”, they were crushed.

Without a trace of resistance, as if done casually.

“Isn’t this too fake?” the watchers exclaimed in amazement.

“Is that guy too strong, or are the pill beasts too weak?”

Ignoring the crowd, after casually destroying the pill beasts, Xu Zimei walked straight into the Pill Tower.

The Pill Tower has seven floors.

The first four floors are places to sell pills.

The last three floors are where alchemists refine pills.

However, due to the alliance gathering today, it was rather deserted.

As Xu Zimei entered, someone led the way, smiling, “This gentleman is requested to proceed upstairs.”

Xu Zimei walked to the second floor, and instantly, more than a dozen gazes fell on him.

“Oh, it seems a talented disciple has arrived.”

“Being able to pass the pill beast assessment is quite something.”

The dozen people began to comment.

Xu Zimei glanced around and saw the leaders of this group.

Sitting in the center were two women and a man.

The man’s appearance was peculiar, with an oval-shaped head and sharp eyes like an eagle.

Roughly a dozen strands of whiskers encircled his lips.

Behind him, there was a pair of wings closed together.

He sat on the right, looking dignified, with an aura of beastly might and powerful void power.

Xu Zimei guessed that this should be the Kun Roc Crown Prince.

The woman on the right was clad in a purple gauze as thin as cicada wings, giving a semi-revealing look.

Important areas were well covered.

Her long hair tied atop her head, her complexion serene, giving a transcendent and detached feel.

This should be the Lue Family Saintess.

Xu Zimei initially thought they were the flagship figures of the younger generation of the alliance.

But then realized.

Between them, there was another woman seated.

The woman sat in the middle, holding the main seat. Temporarily ignoring her appearance.

She gave a strange feeling.

As if she was integrated with the land.

Very much in harmony with the Great Dao.

She wore deep red robes, with light patterns cascading from the waist down, tall in stature.

This woman sat at the head seat, receiving respectful treatment from everyone around, including the Kun Roc Crown Prince and the Lue Family Saintess, showing her extraordinary status.

……

“How should this fellow Daoist be addressed?” someone asked nearby.

“Xu Zimei.”

“So it’s Taoist Friend Xu, joining the alliance implies we share the same goal,” someone laughed.

“I’m mainly curious about how you plan to face the True Martial Holy Sect?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Aren’t you afraid of implicating your sect or loved ones?”

“Every matter in the world has a predetermined fate,” the woman at the head seat suddenly spoke.

“What constitutes predetermined fate?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Just do it, whether it succeeds or fails, the Heavenly Dao has it arranged.

If you don’t do it, what talks can there be of success or failure,” the woman said lightly, with refined lips and teeth.

“So you’re not actually trusting the Heavenly Dao?” Xu Zimei asked.

“You and I, both living under the Heavenly Dao as among the myriad beings, why wouldn’t we believe in destiny?” the woman countered.

“May I know the lady’s name?”

“Miao Ruynin from Myriad Immortals Kingdom.”
