Chu Wuhen didn't need to open the Dan Ding to verify the elixir, as he was confident that he had refined the Supreme Dao God Elixir. In his eyes, Tan Yun could never possibly refine a Dao God Elixir, so he had already secured his victory!
Even if Liang Bufan and Longkui managed to refine the Supreme Dao God Elixir within the stipulated thirty thousand years, according to the sequence of time, he would still be the winner of this third round of the alchemical arts tournament.
The two hoped that Chu Wuhen would make a mistake while refining the Dao God Elixir, producing an elixir below the Supreme grade. If that happened, as long as they refined a Supreme Dao God Elixir, they could turn the tide in their favor!
While Chu Wuhen, Longkui, and Liang Bufan had their thoughts, the high-ranking members and disciples of the Human Race Star Domain and Beast Clan Star Domain understood this principle as well.
As for Dao Kun, he had resigned himself to fate!
In his heart, Tan Yun was merely a representation of the Four Arts Star Domain's desperate struggle.
A miracle? In his mind, it would never happen for the Four Arts Star Domain in his lifetime.
He had already prepared to apologize to his master in spirit after the defeat of the Four Arts Star Domain.
For him, death was not terrifying; what was terrifying was not being able to protect the Four Arts Star Domain!
Time flew by, and in the years that followed, Longkui and Liang Bufan no longer rushed to refine their elixirs. Since they had lost to Chu Wuhen in terms of time, they focused on achieving perfection in correctness and successfully refining the Supreme Dao God Elixir!
Soon, with only three days remaining until the thirty thousand-year deadline, Liang Bufan and Longkui stood up and looked at the Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon, respectfully saying: “Vice Palace Master, our elixir refinement is complete.”
“Hmm.” The Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon responded, and without any further action, the two groups of Ancestor Dragon True Fire beneath their Dan Ding soared into the air and entered his mouth.
At that moment, Tan Yun, who had been sitting cross-legged, stopped absorbing heaven and earth divine essence, opened his eyes, and slowly rose, standing in front of his Dan Ding alongside Chu Wuhen, Longkui, and Liang Bufan.
The Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon stroked his beard and laughed, his voice echoing throughout the Star Domain Dojo:
“Time flies, thirty thousand years have passed within the formation, and the alchemical arts tournament is reaching its conclusion. Next, let us witness the final result of the alchemical arts tournament together.”
“According to the rules, whoever finishes refining first shall start the verification.”
Upon hearing this, everyone quieted down and looked towards Longkui.
“Longkui, begin verifying the elixir.” The Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon announced.
“Disciple obeys.” Longkui waved his right arm, and the lid of the Dan Ding flew off. Immediately, twelve blue beams of light shot out from the Dan Ding, hovering in mid-air, transforming into twelve completely blue elixirs.
It was clearly visible that within each elixir curled a fetus-like elixir core.
“Good, very good.” The Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon looked approvingly: “First of all, this Vice Palace Master announces that all the elixirs refined by our Beast Clan Star Domain disciple Longkui are Supreme Dao God Elixirs.”
“Secondly, regardless of whether Longkui wins or loses in this third round of alchemical arts, we must acknowledge him as an alchemical genius.”
“Because generally speaking, refining a batch of Dao God Elixirs takes four hundred thousand years, while he succeeded in just three hundred thousand years. By this alone, he is already among the best.”
The Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon's words were recognized by all the high-ranking members and disciples of the three major star domains, except for one person!
That person was Tan Yun!
The Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon looked down at Liang Bufan, saying: “Bufan, it’s your turn.”
