Chapter 5818 Conversion Pill
Chapter 5818 Conversion Pill
The time needed, perhaps short if only a few days, but even a hundred years wouldn’t be surprising.
Jian Wushuang couldn’t afford to wait for a hundred years.
A hundred years might not count as time in the outside world.
But here, in this place, a hundred years could mean encountering countless savage beasts.
Even the stalactite caves here weren’t absolutely safe.
If they encountered a savage beast attack, they would have to flee like headless flies.
And that dragon was still eyeing them!
It could find them at any moment.
In the past, he thought he could face the Fifth Tribulations with a single battle.
But here, it was the Infinite Great World.
Whether it was the Universe Master or these savage beasts.
None of them were simple.
And everyone had their own hidden cards.
Not just him.
Others too.
And the savage beasts as well.
He couldn’t judge the strength of his opponents based on common standards anymore.
Just like Kuilang, he initially thought the opponent’s strength was at most 600,000.
But in the end, at the cost of losing his sanity, he burst out with 680,000 divine power, and that was just a Universe Master at the Fourth Tribulation.
As for a Universe Master at the Fifth Tribulation, let alone mentioning.
Even the top Universe Masters at the Fifth Tribulations had a minimum of 600,000 divine power, and with just a casual burst, they could exceed 700,000.
Take that dragon for example.
Although it didn’t have the power of the Origin Source Universe, its bloodline power was extremely strong, possibly descended from a true dragon.
Even the Empress feared enough to lead it away.
With just them, a bunch of insignificant beings, if they were really caught by the dragon, they probably wouldn’t even know how they died.
This place was still too close to where the ancient ship was destroyed.
And the aura of these human strongmen was very conspicuous at the bottom of the ancient river.
The riverbed was filled with the aura of savage beasts, even if they hid well, they would still be discovered.
Jian Wushuang was confident in his ability to deceive others, but not everyone shared his skill. Instead of waiting to be cornered, he believed in taking proactive measures.
That was his plan.
“The supreme secret technique of the Transformation Dao!” Jian Wushuang began to calculate in his mind.
Regardless of others, he had to ensure the safety of Wu Li and Jinchen at least.
He had promised Queen Yun Zhi to protect her. This was his chance to repay the favor.
Although Wu Li was more crucial, the other party also held significant secrets. Jian Wushuang could feel the vitality emanating from Wu Li, which had only grown stronger since entering the Infinite Great World.
That power didn’t belong to him. It was someone else’s secret, and he dared not inquire further.
He could only prepare for contingencies.
“Afterlife Conversion Pill!” After a long silence, he uttered the name.
It was a secret technique of the Transformation Dao, spoken of in legends from the Moro Spacetime.
He had heard of it from the inheritance of the First True King.
His own Transformation Dao had evolved from the Eternal Variations of the Three Kings, with some modifications to become the Eternal Ancient Transformation.
Now, he aimed to reverse the Transformation Dao and turn it into a pill formula.
By refining the Afterlife Conversion Pill, others could conceal their human aura and blend in underwater.
However, it would take time.
Originally a legendary secret technique of the Transformation Dao, mastering it would require time.
Moreover, he needed to reverse the technique into a pill formula and then refine it into a pill, which would take a full cycle—ten days at the earliest.
If the Empress responded in ten days, it would be ideal.
It was his way of being prepared for any outcome.
If there was still no word from the Empress by then, they would proceed with refining the conversion pill, and everyone would transform into demons together.
Only this way could he survive.
Jian Wushuang laid out the entire situation.
He didn’t care if these people opposed it or had any opinions.
After all, he wasn’t prepared to refine for these people anyway.
“Transformation Pill?”
Li Sheng furrowed his brow slightly, asking cautiously, “Friend Wushuang, if one were to undergo transformation, can they revert back?”
Turning into a demon.
This was something many people found hard to accept.
Jian Wushuang didn’t conceal anything either, and replied directly, “The possibility is very low, but even if you transform into demons, your Origin Source Universe won’t change, and your divine power might even enhance because of it.”
“How confident are you?” Li Sheng gritted his teeth, as if he had made a decision.
Compared to his own life, becoming a demon didn’t matter.
After all, their strength wouldn’t change.
“Not even thirty percent!” Jian Wushuang extended three fingers, then continued, “I still need a lot of materials from savage beasts, preferably ancient savage beasts at the level of the Fourth Tribulation realm!”
Before the pill formula was calculated, he had already arranged the task of gathering materials.
Upon hearing this, they were astonished. “Only thirty percent?”
“Hmph, even that thirty percent depends on whether the materials from savage beasts are up to par. If the materials are too poor, there’s no hope for that thirty percent. I need time to prepare the pill formula now. You all have only ten days. If you don’t have enough materials, then you’ll all be in deep trouble!” Jian Wushuang half-threatened.
It’s not surprising he’s ruthless.
It’s just that his abilities are limited.
And there’s Elder Muchen, that big unreliable guy.
If he had been informed earlier about the Empress’s movements, he could have prepared in advance.
Wu Li also had questions; the Empress had fled without informing him.
Now, with only them remaining, they could only fend for themselves.
“I’ll figure something out about the materials,” Li Sheng finally compromised.
He had two younger members of his family behind him, the hope of their lineage.
Glancing back at the two inexperienced juniors behind him, Li Sheng’s tone softened as he continued, “I can’t handle the materials alone; I need others to cooperate.”
“Of course, besides Princess Jinchen, you can choose whoever you want,” Jian Wushuang generously declared, waving his hand and handing over the authority to Li Sheng.
Surveying the rest, Li Sheng concluded, “Wu Li, Muchen, Jiang Zhen, and this friend from Qingyun Sect, come with me!”
The remaining four included two Universe Masters from the Li family, aside from Jian Wushuang and Princess Jinchen.
Upon hearing that the patriarch wouldn’t take them, the two Li family juniors, a boy and a girl, couldn’t help but step forward, but words failed them at the last moment.
They had been too well protected in Yue Kingdom; even during the Emperor’s reign, they had the protection of the Scattered Tribulation experts from the family during their ventures outside.
Now, facing absolute suppression, they had no confidence whatsoever.
Their divine powers were both under 400,000; their ability to preserve themselves in the depths of the Ancient River was too weak.
If they were to go out, they might not survive three days.
Li Sheng glanced at them, a rare warmth appearing in his eyes, as he calmly said, “Don’t worry, stay here and assist Wushuang’s friend. Follow their lead.”
It was a skillful way of putting it.
To Jian Wushuang, the two Universe Masters left behind were no better than the soldiers at the bottom of the river; keeping them here would only be a burden.
Initially, he had thought of reducing the manpower during this trip for materials.
That way, he could better manage these people and stall for time while waiting for the Empress.
The Infinite Great World was nothing but a colossal arena.
