chapter 299: Cultivation in Seclusion

The three presidents watched Xiao Ze neutralize the eight-colored lightning with multiple techniques, but they did not show any relief on their faces.

This was because the eight-colored lightning was not limited; blocking one or two was not enough to relax.

Now, so many techniques were needed, which meant a great consumption of douqi. If his douqi ran out, Xiao Ze would be in danger.

Even though the three presidents were very experienced, Xiao Ze was not an ordinary cultivator and couldn't be measured by ordinary standards.

The douqi inside his body was so abundant that, even using the highly consuming Imperial Seal technique, he would not be affected.

The three presidents watched the tribulation with concern, while the other disciples, unaware of Xiao Ze's situation, assumed he was fully prepared.

Therefore, they were not too worried but rather amazed by the terrifying nature of the eight-colored lightning.

"What terrifying lightning! Even from this distance, you can feel the majestic and overwhelming force contained within the lightning!"

"This is eight-colored lightning! It's just one step away from the pinnacle of eighth-level pills. This type of pill can only be made by a few even in the Dan Tower."

"That's right. Besides the three presidents, few of the eight great elders can craft eighth-level pills with eight-colored lightning."

The Dan Tower disciples discussed heatedly, not knowing about the Little Dan Tower. Thus, they were extremely surprised that Xiao Ze could make an eighth-level pill with eight-colored lightning.

In their hearts, Xiao Ze's alchemy skills were probably among the best of all the elders in the Dan Tower, not inferior to the eight great elders.

In different positions within the Holy Dan City, the eight great elders, whom the disciples compared with Xiao Ze, watched the sky with serious expressions.

"The new generations always surpass the old ones," they said in unison.

If before, when Xiao Ze had just entered the alchemist master level, the eight great elders had confidence in maintaining their advantage in alchemy over him.

Now, Xiao Ze could make eighth-level pills with eight-colored lightning, catching up with and even surpassing them.

Seeing Xiao Ze reach and surpass them step by step made the eight great elders feel a mix of powerlessness and frustration.

To the surprise of the three presidents, no matter how many techniques Xiao Ze used to weaken the eight-colored lightning, he never showed signs of exhaustion. On the contrary, his aura grew stronger.

This left the three presidents perplexed.

When the tribulation ceased, Xuan Kongzi shook his head and said, "Xiao Ze's techniques are really endless. I don't know how he manages to sustain such douqi consumption."

"Everyone has their own destiny; it's pointless to envy him. Is the Soul Hall still not stopping?" Xuan Yi asked with concern.

Lately, she had been busy with the Star Domain matters and hadn't paid much attention to the Soul Hall incursions.

"The Soul Hall continues to cause trouble for the Dan Tower, taking advantage of the fact that one of their sub-halls was destroyed in the Dan Domain."

Tian Leizi frowned, showing his apprehension towards the Soul Hall.

"According to our reports, the Soul Hall hasn't found the culprit behind the destruction of their sub-hall, but they are convinced it was the Dan Tower."

Xuan Kongzi sighed. "Regardless of whether the Dan Tower was responsible, the Soul Hall would use this as an excuse to cause trouble. Maybe they placed that sub-hall in the Dan Domain with this intention from the start."

"So, what do we do now?" Xuan Yi asked indecisively. How can you always be on guard against thieves?

"We'll have to keep fighting. It seems the Soul Hall is also trying to control the intensity of the conflict, limiting themselves to small disturbances and minor skirmishes, without many Tianzun appearing."

The voices of the three presidents faded, clearly worried about the audacity of the Soul Hall.

You can't always be on guard, and with so many alchemists in the Dan Tower, it's impossible to protect them all.

This was what most worried the three presidents.

The powerful spiritual energy within Xiao Ze finally calmed down, capturing the Tian Ling pill, which was trying to escape, in his hand.

"You can't escape after so much effort in your creation."

Xiao Ze said to the Tian Ling pill, which already showed signs of intelligence. This level of pill basically had intelligence and could transform into beast form.

But before it could transform, Xiao Ze had already sealed it.

Making an eighth-level pill with eight-colored lightning was difficult, even for Xiao Ze, and he couldn't guarantee success every time.

Achieving it this time was thanks to his alchemy skills and a bit of luck.

Trying to make another pill of this level would probably result in failure.

Although the idea of nurturing this pill until it became a Ninth Sacred Pill crossed his mind, the process would take too long.

It would be more effective to wait until his alchemy skills reached the ninth-level grandmaster level and make one himself.

Xiao Ze stored the Yun Ling cauldron. Although his control and spiritual power allowed him to form cauldrons with fire, the spirit-concentrating effect of the Yun Ling cauldron was still valuable.

At least, it would still be useful until he reached the ninth level.

Then, Xiao Ze gave some instructions to Qing Lin and Medusa before entering his cultivation room, informing Xun Er through the Origin Tree that he would be in seclusion for training.

Sitting on his bed, he looked at the interface showing the multiple feedback from Medusa.

Although Medusa hadn't reached the level of the Eight-Colored Sky Swallowing Serpent, her bloodline had improved, providing multiple feedback to Xiao Ze.

With the feedback and three Tian Ling pills, Xiao Ze decided to try to reach the five-star Dou Zun level.

Within the empty space, the Origin Tree had reached a height of more than twenty thousand meters.

Due to the Origin Tree, Xiao Ze did not experience evident phase changes within each star of the Dou Zun level.

Other ordinary Dou Zun had clear stages of progress within each star, such as from the beginning to the peak of a Dou Zun star.

But for Xiao Ze, the height of the Origin Tree increased without obstacles, except when crossing from one star to another.

Therefore, he only needed to keep raising the height of the Origin Tree.

This was not easy, as each Dou Zun star required an increase of ten thousand meters in the height of the Origin Tree.

At the peak of nine stars, the height of the Origin Tree would approach one hundred thousand meters, becoming a tree that holds up the sky.

Xiao Ze consumed a Tian Ling pill, marking the beginning of his arduous cultivation in seclusion.

The Tian Ling pill released a vast energy, which was continuously absorbed by the Origin Tree, raising its height without ceasing.
