Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension

Chapter 84: Transforming The Connate Providence?

In these past few years when Tian Yongheng had been in seclusion, Lu Qingfeng had broken through to the Ninth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm and was in the midst of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, while Yan Jingfei had recently entered the Fifth Stage of Acquired Realm.

After watching the activities of all the disciples for a while, Tian Yongheng went back inside of his cave abode and called for Yan Jingfei.

Just a few seconds later, she appeared outside at the entrance of the cave abode as it opened slowly, granting her entry inside.

"This disciple greets master." Saying this in a respectful manner, She quickly bowed and cupped her fists.

Tian Yongheng didn’t say anything, and just contemplated in his mind for a while.

There was a short silence between them as Yan Jingfei waited for him to say something.

After more than ten seconds, he finally asked in a calm, soothing tone of voice, "I heard you’re learning Alchemy from a junior disciple?"

Yan Jingfei was stunned for a moment before nodding slowly, "Yes, master. I wished to study Alchemy in my past life too, but I was simply too busy surviving at that time. Since I got an opportunity this time, I might as well make use of it. If I can become a great Alchemist, then it will be helpful to master too."

Hearing her words, Tian Yongheng was quite touched.

He nodded at her before taking out the Burning Heaven Alchemy Furnace from the system space and put it on the ground.

"Here, this is a Rank-4 Alchemy Furnace, the Burning Heaven Alchemy Furnace, crafted from the Burning Heaven Iron. It will be of great help to you."

Seeing the Alchemy Furnace, Yan Jingfei was extremely shocked. Most ordinary Rank-2 Alchemists in the Eternal Peak still used Rank-1 Alchemy Furnaces, while only the exceptional ones had access to Rank-2 Alchemy Furnaces which Tian Yunchen specially used to arrange by trading with other nearby cultivation factions.

But those Alchemy Furnaces were made of ordinary materials that could be found easily.

Burning Heaven Iron!

A normal Rank-4 Alchemy Furnace, if brought out into the cultivation world, can be sold for thousands of High-Grade Spirit Stones!

But this Alchemy Furnace is made of the legendary Burning Heaven Iron mentioned in the ancient records which I read in my past life, a special kind of iron that can not be found in the mortal world!

It will definitely cause an uproar in the entire world if the news of it ever gets out!

Yan Jingfei naturally did not doubt the authenticity of the Alchemy Furnace since it was given to her by Tian Yongheng, and if he said it was made of the Burning Heaven Iron, then it was definitely made of the Burning Heaven Iron. That was how much she really trusted him.

Master just casually gave it to me...what good deeds did I do in my past life to deserve him as my master..

She got emotional and couldn’t stop the tears falling from her eyes.

There she goes again...were you really in the Immortal Ascension Realm in your past life!?

Tian Yongheng couldn’t help but ask inwardly.

In reality, this was actually one of the few things Yan Jingfei did not have in her past life of almost a hundred thousand years.

After the death of all her loved ones, no one provided her with the emotional support she needed, not even her closest allies and the people she called ’friends’.

Everyone in the cultivation world was selfish, greedy, and ultimately only after their own profit. One could never expect kindness from the cultivation world, where even blood relatives could turn against each other for the sake of benefits.

But Tian Yongheng was different, as he essentially did not belong to the cultivation world. Even though he was still just like any other cultivator, who could do anything and sacrifice everything to achieve eternal life, Yan Jingfei still found him to be more emotionally responsive than anyone she had ever met despite him not showing any emotions at all.

In her eyes, he was her greatest benefactor, and the most powerful being to ever exist, he would definitely have the solution to every single problem in all of existence, he was all-knowing and all-powerful.

Her emotional connection with him was far greater than even her own father. He was the only person she could cry like a child in front of.

She wouldn’t know what she would do if he wasn’t here, and thus, she considered her greatest fortune to be able to meet him in this lifetime.

After being comforted by Tian Yongheng for some time, she finally calmed down and examined the Burning Heaven Alchemy Furnace closely.

Looking at it up close, she could only think of one word: exquisite. Truly exquisite.

A jade-coloured Alchemy Furnace, around 1 meters of size with three legs. It was crafted with such skills that it looked like it wasn’t crafted by a living being at all, and instead was created by the nature as a Natural Treasure itself. It had a Yin-Yang symbol at its front.

One of its most notable factors was that it was extremely hot to the touch. Any cultivator below the Qi Condensation Realm could have their hands burned if they even touched it slightly. Even Qi Condensation Realm cultivators could feel its extreme heat.

Of course this affected neither Tian Yongheng, nor Yan Jingfei at all. Both of them were respectfully at the Acquired Realm and Innate Realm, after all.

Yan Jingfei took out her Storage Pouch which she had received from Tian Yongheng after they came back from their expedition last time. He gave it to her because he didn’t really need it, he had the system space for storing things.

Instantly, the Alchemy Furnace was swept inside of the Storage Pouch. A normal Storage Pouch created by a Void Refinement Realm cultivator had a space of one hundred meters and could store a maximum amount of a hundred thousand kilograms of weight.

The Burning Heaven Alchemy Furnace was not that big, but it’s weight exceeded a couple thousand kilograms.

During this time, Tian Yongheng was surfing through his personal relationships and his eyes suddenly landed on Yan Jingfei’s profile.

Her favorability for him had already reached 6.5-Star. Although he did not know what that represented, he knew that it was infinitely close to maximum favorability.

That’s...unexpected but good.

He continued to check other people’s favorability for him.

Lu Qingfeng’s favorability, 6-Star...

Yan Zhangwei’s favorability, 5-Star...

Yang Wei’s favorability, 1.5-Star...

At this moment, his gaze suddenly landed on Tian Yunchen’s profile.

5-Star favorability..?

He remembered that he had initially thought of making Tian Yunchen a Chosen One with the help of the Silver Cascade Holy Water.

He did not know why his favorability had increased since the last time he checked, but for whatever reason, it was a good thing.

After Yan Jingfei left his cave abode, he sent a voice transmission and called for Tian Yunchen.

Soon, Tian Yunchen arrived in front of him.

"The First Supreme greets the Peak Master." He greeted Tian Yongheng, cupping his fists and bowing slightly.

Despite being brothers related by blood, both of them preferred to talk to each other formally. And as the First Supreme of the Eternal Peak, it was also not fitting for Tian Yunchen to call the Master of Eternal Peak as "youngest brother".

Taking out a small jade vial from the system space, Tian Yongheng handed it over to Tian Yunchen.

Noticing the confused look on Tian Yunchen’s face, he began to explain calmly, "First Supreme, this vial contains a drop of the Silver Cascade Holy Water. After drinking this, it can transform your Connate Providence, and make it even more powerful than before."

Hearing his explanation, Tian Yunchen was dumbfounded for a moment before coming back to his senses. He looked at Tian Yongheng with a skeptical gaze.

Almost all somewhat high level cultivators or people with background knew what Connate Providence meant. It was something decided from the birth of a being, and could not be changed. It dictated all the life opportunities, talents and the destiny of a living being.

Every living being had their own Connate Providence, but some people’s Connate Providence was far superior to that of others. These were the geniuses and prodigies of their generation.

But people of the Lower Realm were still mortals, after all, and they couldn’t divine what someone’s Connate Providence was. Not just mortals, but the ancient records said that even Immortals had difficulty in divining a living being’s Connate Providence based on special circumstances.

Some Connate Providences like a few Bloodlines, Constitutions and Innate Talents could still be known only to their owner after being awakened, but the other dormant or hidden Connate Providences were not like that.

Tian Yunchen’s Holy Whirlwind Constitution was stripped away because of a special treasure from the Upper Realm that ignored the cause and effect and all the negative karma that may befall the user of that treasure till a certain level. In Tian Yunchen’s knowledge, at that time, his Connate Providence of the Constitution was also stripped away.

But Tian Yongheng said that he could transform his Connate Providence.

Even though it was known that Connate Providences couldn’t be changed, his Connate Providence was still stripped away.

Then it was also possible to not just recover it, but also transform it into something even more powerful.
