Chapter 442: Chapter 441: Celestial Dao Essence Treasure

"Which one is the best?" Ling Fei’s brow furrowed slightly. He immersed his Heart Spirit into several of the Pill Furnaces, beginning to sense the Array Patterns and structures within them.

These Pill Furnaces were all excellent. Their Array Patterns were complete and powerful, perfectly capable of refining High-Level Elixirs. Even if a pill shattered during the process, the furnace wouldn’t explode.

For an Alchemist, they were undoubtedly superb Pill Furnaces.

All the Pill Furnaces his Heart Spirit touched expressed a sense of affinity, almost as if they were Spiritual Treasures.

The Pill Furnaces reacted this way entirely because Ling Fei’s soul was powerful, far surpassing that of an ordinary person, and they could all sense it.

’They’re all good. Which one should I choose?’ Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit spread out in all directions as he continued to ponder.

’Huh? There seems to be a Pill Furnace over there that isn’t showing the slightest fluctuation. It doesn’t seem to be paying me any mind at all.’ Suddenly, Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit stirred. He sensed that in the depths of this space, another Pill Furnace was hidden away, shrouded in hazy Light Patterns and exuding a sacred aura.

’This Pill Furnace’s aura seems unfathomable.’ Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit stirred again, and he sent it spreading toward the furnace in front of him, intending to probe it.

He extended his Heart Spirit to sense it, but the Pill Furnace rippled and actually repelled Ling Fei, shattering his Power of Heart and Soul.

’It’s actually repelling me?’ Seeing this, a look of astonishment crossed Ling Fei’s eyes. After all, all the previous Pill Furnaces had wanted to get close to him!

With a hint of surprise, Ling Fei strengthened his Power of Heart and Soul and forcefully spread it toward the Pill Furnace shrouded in the hazy mist.

WENG!

Under the forceful assault, Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit finally penetrated the hazy mist.

Then, he saw a Pill Furnace of ancient and simple design, engraved with mountains and rivers.

The furnace emitted an obscure fluctuation. When Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit sensed it, he felt as if he had been placed amidst mountains and rivers, or perhaps submerged within a world of its own.

The sensation was too mystical, far surpassing that of an ordinary Tripod Furnace.

’This Pill Furnace is extraordinary. This is the one!’ Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit stirred, and he began to seep into the furnace’s interior to inspect its specific condition.

With a flash of his Heart Spirit, Ling Fei activated the Inscription Patterns in the furnace and seeped inside.

WENG!

As Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit sank into the furnace, he felt his consciousness blur for a moment before he found himself inside.

Inside the Pill Furnace, the Pill Wall was hazy and indistinct. There were only mystical patterns. When Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit entered, it was like stepping into a hazy, new world.

"There’s a mystical Array inside this Pill Furnace too!" Ling Fei looked astonished.

At the same time, he felt a sense of unease and immediately began to sense his surroundings with caution and vigilance.

Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit scanned in all directions within the furnace.

Although it was just his Heart Spirit, upon entering this place, it had manifested as a vague human figure, standing like a True Dragon within the furnace.

WHOOSH!

At that very moment, a ripple stirred within the furnace. A patch of Light Patterns converged, forming a wisp of flame that swept toward Ling Fei.

The flame was incredibly hot, as if it could incinerate the heavens. Wherever it passed, Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit sensed a dangerous aura.

"It can even attack!" Ling Fei’s face was full of surprise. With a stir of his Heart Spirit, he hastily struck out, directly manifesting a dragon’s hand to counter the attack.

BANG!

Although it was a strike from his Heart Spirit, the Power of the blow was immense, shattering the Fire Flame and causing it to disperse.

BAM!

A ripple spread out. The dispersing Fire Flame reformed into a child wearing red Fire Pattern Armor.

The child landed, a ferocious light in his eyes. He stared at Ling Fei and barked in a comically old-mannered tone, "Where did you come from, you little brat? How dare you disturb my rest!"

The child wasn’t tall, only about three feet. He had a delicate, doll-like appearance and looked no older than four or five, but the look he gave Ling Fei was fierce and domineering.

’A child?’ Seeing this, Ling Fei’s spiritual manifestation was filled with astonishment.

"What child?"

"I am the Furnace Spirit of this Celestial Essence Divine Furnace. My name is Tianyuanzi. You may refer to me as Lord Tianyuanzi." The child spoke in that same pompous, old-mannered way, his gaze lifted in an expression of pure arrogance.

’A Furnace Spirit? The Celestial Essence Divine Furnace?’ Ling Fei’s brow arched. ’Spiritual Treasures have already begun to develop Spiritual Qi and a bit of self-awareness, like those Pill Furnaces I encountered earlier. If they evolve a step further, they can birth a Furnace Spirit, which means they’ve surpassed the level of Spiritual Treasure. It seems this Celestial Essence Divine Furnace has even surpassed the level of a Heaven-Reaching Treasure.’

’Above Profound Spirit Treasures are Celestial Spiritual Treasures. These Supreme Treasures are not only imprinted with numerous Divine Technique Mystical Techniques but also contain immense Power.’

’Once activated, this Power can help a person fight continuously, compensating for a Cultivator’s lack of True Essence, which is a drawback when trying to sustain the use of a Profound Spirit Treasure. Of course, activating such a Supreme Treasure also requires a massive amount of Soul Power, so it’s not something just anyone can control.’

’Above Celestial Spiritual Treasures are Spiritual Treasures.’

’This type of treasure already possesses a sliver of Spiritual Sense.’

’And above Spiritual Treasures are Celestial Dao Essence Treasures. This type of treasure contains an Artifact Spirit, and its mystical qualities are far beyond what any ordinary treasure can compare to.’

’I have to get my hands on it.’ A fiery look appeared on Ling Fei’s face. He wasn’t the least bit intimidated by the Furnace Spirit’s arrogant posture. On the contrary, as his spiritual manifestation looked at the Furnace Spirit, a smile tugged at its lips, like someone who had just laid eyes on a long-coveted Supreme Treasure!

"Hey, you little brat, what’s with that look on your face?" Seeing this, the spirit of the Celestial Essence Divine Furnace grew displeased. He shot Ling Fei a cold, hard glare and snapped.

"Your name is Tianyuanzi?" Ling Fei ignored the Furnace Spirit’s reprimand and asked with a smile.

"That’s right! I am Tianyuanzi!" the Furnace Spirit declared arrogantly.

"And you’re the Furnace Spirit?" Ling Fei inquired.

"That’s right!" Tianyuanzi nodded.

"Good, good," Ling Fei nodded.

"Brat, what’s so good?"

"Hey, what are you getting at?" Tianyuanzi’s gaze darkened as he spoke, sounding rather displeased.

’A moment ago, *I* was the one questioning this brat. How did the tables turn so that *he’s* questioning *me*?’

He felt that his authority had been scorned, and he was furious.

"Hehe, they say that as long as you capture the Furnace Spirit, you can control the Celestial Dao Essence Treasure, right?" Ling Fei said with a grin.

"Of course. The only way to obtain a Celestial Dao Essence Treasure is to control its Furnace Spirit." Tianyuanzi nodded repeatedly, but he quickly realized something was wrong.

"Hey, brat, are you trying to capture me?" Tianyuanzi roared.

"Precisely," Ling Fei replied, his expression turning serious for a moment before breaking into a smile.

"With just your power?" Tianyuanzi snorted coldly, looking at Ling Fei with contempt.

"With just my power," Ling Fei smiled. At the same time, back in his main body’s Sea of Consciousness, a torrent of Divine Soul Power was being poured into the Stone Stele.

The Divine Soul Power possessed by his Heart Spirit inside the Pill Furnace suddenly multiplied.

ROAR!

At that very moment, Ling Fei’s Divine Soul opened its mouth and let out a dragon’s roar. The roiling soundwaves swept directly toward the Artifact Spirit.

"A dragon’s roar?" When the sound echoed, a look of fear appeared in the Furnace Spirit’s eyes. Before he could react, the soundwaves crashed into him like a terrifying tidal wave.

BANG!

Tianyuanzi’s body disintegrated, scattering into motes of fiery light.

A moment later, the fiery light reconverged, once again forming a human figure.

"You infuriate me! I am a Furnace Spirit, and you actually dare to attack me!" Tianyuanzi glared furiously at Ling Fei.

’He was the dignified spirit of a Supreme Treasure, yet this man before him actually dared to attack him?’

’This was utter disrespect!’

For millennia, countless geniuses had entered this Hidden Furnace Hall, and some had even discovered the Celestial Essence Divine Furnace.

Every single one of them had humbly sought to control the furnace, but Tianyuanzi had looked down on them all and simply driven them away.

Few among them had ever dared to be so disrespectful to him.

But the young man before him now seemed to not even see him as worthy of notice.

How could Tianyuanzi not be enraged?
