Chapter 108 Mysterious Sensation
In the primordial world, Xu Qiankun sat cross-legged in a palace-like treasure filled with various flowers and plants. This treasure was the only peak Golden Immortal artifact he had ever crafted, the "Ten Thousand Spirits Garden".
A celestial artifact at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm is an absolute treasure of the level of an eternal true god in the world of Swallowed Star.
When Qiankun Daoist left this time, besides his natal spiritual treasure, the Qiankun Reverse Origin Pearl, he also took with him the mid-grade acquired merit spiritual treasure, the Void-Breaking Spear, the "Book of Ten Thousand Laws" which recorded all the cultivation methods of the primordial world, and the low-grade spiritual root, the White Jade Apple.
The white jade crabapple wasn't of much use to him, but this treasure was continuous, equivalent to the Swallowed Star World producing 365 crabapples every five years, which could be used to nurture the next generation of the human race, so it was still very useful.
As for the Tree of Life left to the Elven race, it has been transformed by merit in the primordial world and is now a superior-grade acquired merit root. Both its fruit and its water of life contain extremely powerful life essence.
Apart from the three thousand original Pokémon, all the other Pokémon were born from the Life Essence and were already very strong. Taking White Jade Apple would have no effect on them at all.
Leaving it to them would be a waste.
The Garden of Souls was flying through the air at a speed far exceeding a hundred times the speed of light.
Xu Qiankun sat cross-legged in a garden, studying the weapon-refining inheritance he had received from the Mountain Hermit, in order to organize the "Earth Lineage" of the Great Dao of Qiankun that he had already mastered.
In another space, a being that looked almost exactly like Xu Qiankun and had a very similar aura, but only possessed the aura of a mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal, carefully observed the commotion outside.
Whenever he sees a powerful ferocious beast, he activates the Qiankun Reverse Origin Pearl to kill it and refine it into the Origin of Creation.
This person was the clone created by Xu Qiankun more than three thousand years ago, based on the secret techniques of creation and clone creation.
However, although the clone was created, it was not perfect.
First, this clone cannot stray more than 30 million miles from Xu Qiankun. If it does, the connection will weaken and the clone will gradually lose control.
In a primordial world like this, a clone that has lost control has a very high probability of giving birth to a new consciousness.
Secondly, the clone's strength is limited; it can only reach the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm at most, and cannot synchronize with the original body.
However, although this clone is a defective product, it can synchronize with the main body's consciousness at close range, making it sufficient as an eye.
In the primordial era, time passed without end, and several hundred years quickly went by. Xu Qiankun was even preparing to refine a Taiyi Golden Immortal-level immortal artifact, which would be the dominant artifact of the Devouring Star World.
"Finally, we've encountered a primordial formation."
However, before he could even begin refining it, his clone discovered a well-hidden innate formation.
The "Ten Thousand Spirits Garden" immediately stopped, and Xu Qiankun appeared outside, reaching out to put the "Ten Thousand Spirits Garden" away.
Xu Qiankun walked step by step towards a space below, where there was a well-hidden innate formation. However, in the face of his Great Luo level strength, the formation was as conspicuous as a beacon in the darkness.
"It's actually a Five Elements-based innate formation!"
"What's being nurtured inside should be related to the Five Elements. Could it be a Daoist of the Five Elements?"
Upon arriving outside the formation, Xu Qiankun said calmly, "Fellow Daoist inside, I am Qiankun Daoist. Please come out and meet me."
"Hmm? No reaction?" Seeing that the formation had not changed at all, Xu Qiankun said again, "Fellow Daoist, if you don't come out, I will have to break the formation myself. If it affects your subsequent cultivation, don't blame me."
The gestation of innate gods and demons is divided into two stages.
The first stage is the nurturing of the celestial membrane, using the elixir of creation to build the foundation of innate gods and demons.
Once the Creation Elixir is absorbed, the innate gods and demons can break through the membrane of heaven and earth and truly be born into the primordial world. However, at this stage, the innate gods and demons are extremely weak, with strength only at the early stage of true gods.
In addition to protecting innate gods and demons, the innate formation can also accelerate their cultivation speed, allowing them to mature quickly. Only when their strength reaches the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm will the effect of the innate formation weaken.
If what is being nurtured within this formation is not simply an innate spiritual treasure or spiritual root, but rather an innate god or demon, then once the formation is broken, it will inevitably affect its cultivation.
Since there was no enmity between them, Xu Qiankun did not want to easily offend the innate gods and demons.
"Since no gods or demons have responded, this innate formation should not be protecting any innate gods or demons."
Without further ado, the supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Qiankun Reverse Origin Pearl, which had already been unsealed, flew out and completely merged with the auspicious clouds released by Xu Qiankun, then enveloped the innate grand formation.
Two beams of black and white light flew out from the Qiankun Reversal Source Pearl, gradually penetrating the almost flawless innate formation.
After two years, the innate formation was broken, and the formation dissipated into specks of light.
The moment the formation collapsed, a treasure carrying five-elemental colored light tried to escape, but was suppressed by Xu Qiankun, who was prepared, with the "Qiankun Suppressing Prison" divine power.
Suddenly, a space appeared in Xu Qiankun's palm.
Within that space, a strange wheel composed of five different colored parts trembled slightly, trying to escape but unable to.
"A primordial spiritual treasure with the five elements attributes would be good too."
Xu Qiankun smiled as divine and demonic power surged into the Prison Suppression Space, beginning to refine this innate spiritual treasure.
Only after Lingbao stopped resisting did He release it.
"A top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Five Elements Essence Wheel, with a total of 32 innate restrictions, making it a very good treasure."
After discovering the information about the spiritual treasure in his hand, Xu Qiankun's eyes gleamed with a bright light. Although it was not one of the innate spiritual treasures he was familiar with, its grade was indeed not low.
Even a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, in terms of power alone, is only at the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and it wouldn't be of much use to Him, whose strength has reached the Daluo realm.
However, besides their power, each innate spiritual treasure is the best tool to aid in comprehending the Great Dao.
The Five Elements Essence Wheel contains a portion of the Great Dao of the Five Elements, and the Great Dao of the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, Time and Space, Life, Destruction, etc., are extremely important parts of the Great Dao of Qiankun.
Comprehending these great principles will play an extremely important role in elevating the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
After putting away the Five Elements Essence Wheel, Xu Qiankun flashed into the array space that had been revealed because the array had been broken.
This place is completely different from the space that nurtured Him; there are no innate spiritual roots here, and it's not filled with flowers and plants everywhere.
The array space was completely divided into five parts, one-fifth of which was covered with a kind of green crystal. Each of these crystals contained extremely rich innate wood-attribute spiritual energy, and even the worst quality one was comparable to a True Immortal, with one even being at the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.
"Innate Wood Spirit Crystal"
Xu Qiankun's eyes lit up. This was an extremely precious material that could be used to refine weapons or to cultivate spiritual roots.
Then He looked at the other four areas.
Innate Fire Spirit Crystal.
Innate Water Spirit Crystal.
Innate Golden Spirit Crystal.
Innate Earth Spirit Crystal.
They were all innate spirit crystals, and their quality was similar to that of wood spirit crystals.
"With the Five Elements Spirit Crystals and five materials at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, I have enough to forge a Taiyi Golden Immortal level immortal artifact."
Xu Qiankun was overjoyed.
Because he was learning weapon crafting, his first reaction to any material he saw was to consider whether it could be used for weapon crafting and what kind of immortal weapon it could produce.
After digging out all the materials and making sure nothing was missing, he took out the "Garden of Ten Thousand Spirits" and continued flying towards Mount Buzhou.
Back in the Wanling Garden, Xu Qiankun continued to study the art of weapon crafting, while his clone observed the outside world.
Several hundred years passed quickly.
"Another discovery?"
The Qiankun God and Demon opened its eyes, which flashed with a sharp light. Over the past few hundred years, it had been extremely lucky. After discovering the Five Elements Essence Wheel, it found two more innate formations and obtained a low-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Golden Edge Sword, and a low-grade spiritual root, the Yellow Apricot.
The Golden Edge Sword is a treasure of the Great Dao of Metal. The Great Dao of Metal belongs to the Five Elements, but it is not entirely composed of the Five Elements.
The Five Elements include metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, but the Five Elements emphasize mutual generation and mutual restraint. Therefore, the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are fundamentally different from the five major paths on their own.
As a metal-attribute spiritual treasure, the Golden Edge Sword greatly aided his comprehension of the Great Dao of Metal.
As for the yellow apricot, it is a kind of innate spiritual root that can directly improve one's cultivation level. One apricot is equivalent to a thousand years of hard work, and there is no limit to the number. Eating one or a hundred apricots will have the same effect, but it is only useful for those below the Golden Immortal realm.
The current primordial world is the era when heaven and earth were first created, and the primordial gods and demons had not yet appeared. It is truly desolate, and apart from the brutal and bloodthirsty beasts, there are no other living creatures to be seen.
But this wealth is genuine; all sorts of precious materials and innate treasures are extremely easy to come by.
Xu Qiankun arrived outside the Wanling Garden, his brows suddenly twitching as he looked in one direction. "What is it that has such a strong causal attraction to me?"
