The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 558: Nothing Serious!

Nothing Serious! . . .

Cha Eun Xiao looked rather ashamed as he spoke, "One thousand portions... And I only made two out of it. What a waste. I overestimated myself. I thought I was a genius dan-maker... Now my reputation is ruined."

Ling Wuxie's lips trembled as he leaped up, ecstatic. "Bloody hell! Feng Monarch, you are awesome! You are brilliant... You are damn great... Hahaha... Awesome... I can't wait to see how you become even more damn great!"

Ling Wuxie was overcome with delight, and Wan-Er and Xiu-Er shared in his joy.

The Heaven Seizing Dan! Throughout history, the conqueror of the universe had gathered the most exceptional dan masters from across the universe to create it. Out of hundreds of stoves, only one had succeeded.

And that one successful stove had produced only a single dan bead.

They hadn't actually expected Feng Monarch to succeed with the one thousand portions of materials. They had thought it was merely for practice. They couldn't have imagined that he would actually succeed.

Yet, surprisingly, he had managed to produce two dan beads.

It was a truly marvelous and beautiful feat.

Even Ling Wuxie was starting to ramble on in amazement.

As long as he could produce the dan beads, wasting one thousand portions of materials didn't matter. Even ten thousand portions were inconsequential. Materials were of no concern!

Cha Eun Xiao looked at the three of them and realized he wouldn't need to worry about materials. Even if he used ten portions and produced nothing, they would never blame him.

In fact, they were already grateful and thrilled to know he had achieved success with only one thousand portions.

He thought to himself, "Are these the so-called super figures from the Human Realm Upon Heavens? They seem more like ignorant clodhoppers to me. I could have made more. I had so many different materials in the Wood Space that I only ended up with two beads. If I had arranged the materials properly, I could have shown them hundreds. I'd love to see how it would astound these clodhoppers! Upper realms! Super figures! Pah!"

In the world, indeed in the entire universe, there had never been anyone who dared to call Ling Wuxie, Wan-Er, and Xiu-Er ignorant clodhoppers. But now, Feng Monarch had done just that. After all, he had once ridden on Master Bai and punched him. So, criticizing these guys didn't seem all that unreasonable.

If Ling Wuxie had known what Cha Eun Xiao was thinking at that moment, he might have thrown himself into a wall.

At the very least, he would have shouted, "I am an experienced and well-informed cultivator. I have seen everything. I am not a clodhopper!"

Xiu of the Heavens carefully asked, "Feng Monarch, may I... may I have a look at the two dan beads you made? It's nothing, I just want to... broaden my horizons a bit, that's all."

Xiu of the Heavens was well aware of Feng Monarch's temper. One wrong word could enrage him. However, she had to request this as it concerned her master's future. Feng Monarch had said he had two dan beads, but no one had seen them. She preferred to trust what she saw rather than what she heard.

"Why not? Of course! You don't need to ask, really. I'll show them to you myself. The Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan is truly magnificent. It has some remarkable qualities," Cha Eun Xiao replied, extending his hand. With a couple of crisp slaps on the table, two dan beads appeared.

The two Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan beads exhibited an enchanting display, seeming to dance and tumble about on the table. Their every motion stirred a swirling mass of dan cloud that gently floated upwards, eventually enveloping the table in a diaphanous shroud.

Glimmering with golden radiance, the cloud appeared to conjure the roars of dragons and the cries of phoenixes, creating a spectacle of ethereal beauty.

Simultaneously, an aura of enigma, ancient wisdom, and profundity emanated from the dan beads, permeating the room with an exquisite fragrance.

Though not overpoweringly dense, the scent was captivating and had an instant calming effect on anyone who inhaled it, soothing both their hearts and souls.

These were the Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan beads, the genuine divine treasures.

Wan-Er, Xiu-Er, and Ling Wuxie were utterly captivated, their eyes fixed on the dan beads that seemed to frolic playfully on the table.

After a short moment of stupefaction, Xiu-Er was the first to regain her composure. She reached out to gingerly grasp the two dan beads, her eyes moist with emotion as she examined them carefully, ensuring they were undamaged.

On the other hand, Wan-Er and Ling Wuxie, rather than expressing anger, glared at Feng Monarch with a mixture of resentment and suspicion.

"That's the Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan!" Wan-Er yelled in frustration. "How could you... How could you treat them like that? You yourself called them marvelous! And yet you handled them so carelessly... You..."

Wan-Er was so furious that she struggled to find the right words.

"You talked as if you treasured them so much, but in reality, you didn't even have a jade bottle to store them, and you just slapped them on the table!" Ling Wuxie wrung his hands, his face contorted in frustration.

"What are you saying?" Cha Eun Xiao furrowed his brow, clearly not comprehending the gravity of the situation. "They're just two dan beads! Why are you making such a fuss? What's the big deal?"

The two women and Ling Wuxie stood there, dumbfounded, at a loss for words.

"What did he just say?"

"What's the big deal?"

"Why is he so casual about this?"

"Do you understand the consequences?"

"Chaos, bloodshed, and unimaginable disaster will befall the Human Realm Upon Heavens."

"Supreme master figures in that world all have children."

"Many of them have both genius and, well, not-so-genius children."

"They have plenty of offspring, and some of them are, well, not the brightest bulbs in the box."

"The Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan is a surefire way to turn an underachiever into a brilliant genius."

"That's what truly attracts those elite master figures."
