Wang Lin traversed the vast mountains and rivers of the Great Desolation, enduring decades of arduous travel, finally, under a crimson sky, he beheld the Netherworld Blood Sea in the southwestern part of the Great Desolation, a sight that struck fear into countless living beings.
He hovered in the Void Realm, gazing into the distance, only to see the boundless expanse of the Sea of Blood; as the crimson waves surged, he could almost hear the echoes of the ancient Demon Gods—this entire Sea of Blood was formed from the essence and blood of the Three Thousand Demon Gods who perished after the creation of the world.
Its immense and vast volume far exceeded all his previous imaginings, causing him to sigh in his heart: "The power of the ancient Demon Gods is indeed well-deserved."
Within the Sea of Blood, the pure essence and blood of the Demon Gods intertwined with the turbid blood from the initial Chaos, yet, because it originated from the bodies of the Three Thousand Demon Gods, it was not contaminated by external Impurities.
However, the lingering Evil Qi of the Demon Gods from after the world's creation continuously surged into it like maggots clinging to bone, enveloping the entire Sea of Blood in a chilling Evil Qi.
Crimson waves crashed against an invisible spatial barrier, and the ferocity originating from the Origin of the Great Desolation was enough to make ordinary Golden Immortals recoil, but Wang Lin's eyes remained resolute and unmoved.
Without a moment's hesitation, the magical power circulated throughout his body, transforming into a streak of light that flew directly to the center of the Sea of Blood.
Here, the Evil Qi was most concentrated, and the blood waves churned more violently, yet Wang Lin remained calm, slowly raising his hand; a flash of light in his palm, and a pure white lotus platform floated before him—it was the world-purifying white lotus, one of the top-grade Innate Spirit Treasures.
He formed a hand seal with his fingertips, and the abundant magical power within his body continuously poured into the lotus platform; in an instant, the white lotus bloomed with ten thousand rays of Holy Light, like a blazing sun suspended above the Sea of Blood, and the Holy Light cascaded down, instantly enveloping the entire Netherworld Blood Sea.
The purifying divine light, like a gentle yet irresistible tide, repeatedly cleansed the ferocious Evil Qi within the Sea of Blood.
Those fierce energies that had lingered for millennia rapidly melted away like ice meeting a blazing sun before the divine light of the world-purifying white lotus, transforming into wisps of black smoke that dissipated into the Void Realm.
Time flew by; a hundred years in the long river of the Great Desolation was but a fleeting moment; when the last trace of fierce Evil Qi was completely expelled, only pure blood remained in the Netherworld Blood Sea.
The only drawback was that the Demon God's essence and blood and the Chaos turbid blood were still intermingled and could not be completely separated.
Wang Lin put away the world-purifying white lotus and then took out an item from the sea-calming pearls hanging at his waist—he held a shimmering treasure pearl in his palm; the pearl flashed, and a lotus platform, entirely emerald green with layered petals, slowly emerged, which was the thirty-six-petal chaos green lotus.
As soon this lotus appeared, the heavens and earth immediately changed color; above the Nine Heavens, endless purple Qi poured down like a cascading galaxy, swirling above the Sea of Blood; below the earth, countless golden lotus of merit broke through the soil and bloomed along the shores of the Sea of Blood, and even the Laws of the Great Desolation seemed to be stirred, trembling slightly, as if in awe of this Chaos Supreme Treasure originating from Chaos.
Wang Lin lightly leaped, sat cross-legged on the lotus platform of the chaos green lotus, closed his eyes, and his mind was tightly connected to the Origin power of the green lotus, asking in his heart: "Green Lotus, can you help me refine the essence and blood in this Sea of Blood?"
A moment later, an ancient and gentle consciousness entered his Sea of Consciousness: "Yes.
Not only can I help you refine it, but I can also purify the turbid blood within it into pure essence and blood for you to absorb."
"You possess such an ability?"
Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes, unable to hide his shock.
One must know that Chaos turbid blood was complex in nature, and ordinary methods simply could not purify it, yet he never expected the chaos green lotus could achieve it.
That consciousness came again, with a faint smile: "You previously bestowed upon me the Origin of the world-purifying white lotus, the twelve-petal golden lotus of merit, and other lotus platforms; now I have fused the powers of all lotuses and further contain the power of creation from the initial Chaos, purifying turbid blood is but a trivial matter."
Hearing this, Wang Lin was overjoyed; he immediately took out the jade disc of creation and suspended it above his head—this jade disc, which recorded the Laws of the Three Thousand Great Dao of Chaos, emitted profound radiant light as soon as it appeared, enveloping his entire body.
He then took out the enlightenment tea tree from the sea-calming pearls, carefully plucked three tender tea leaves, and held them in his mouth; the fragrance of the tea entered his throat, instantly transforming into a cool stream of Qi that nourished his Primordial Spirit.
Finally, he placed the sea-calming pearls containing the enlightenment tea tree on his chest, then sat cross-legged, formed hand seals, and began to circulate the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Art, which focused on Body Refining, to fully temper his Physical Body.
As the Cultivation Technique circulated, a powerful suction emanated from Wang Lin's body; the blood of the entire Netherworld Blood Sea seemed to be guided by an invisible force, surging towards him like a rushing river.
At the same time, a light green barrier rose around the chaos green lotus, enveloping all the surging blood—under the filtration and purification of the barrier, the Chaos turbid blood within was rapidly transformed into pure Demon God's essence and blood, turning into powerful streams of blood Qi that continuously merged into Wang Lin's Physical Body.
Under the guidance of the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Art, the blood Qi transformed from these Demon God's essence and blood, like the most precise craftsmen, continuously tempered Wang Lin's Physical Body, tendons, and bones.
His Physical Body strength rapidly ascended at a visible speed, from Golden Immortal Late Stage to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and then to Primordial Golden Immortal... breaking through barriers and advancing in Realms one after another, the pressure emanating from his Physical Body also became increasingly terrifying.
At the same time, the fragments of the Three Thousand Demon God Laws contained in the blood Qi, under the deduction of the jade disc of creation and the guidance of the enlightenment tea tree's radiant light, were precisely captured by Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit; in his Sea of Consciousness, countless Law runes flickered, his comprehension of the Great Dao of the Great Desolation deepened daily, and his Primordial Spirit also continuously grew stronger.
Half a Yuanhui of time quietly passed; when the last wisp of blood Qi merged into Wang Lin's body, the once boundless Netherworld Blood Sea had completely dried up, leaving only a clean, impurity-free lake, silently resting on the land of the southwestern Great Desolation.
Wang Lin slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing and disappearing, and a pressure far exceeding that of an ordinary Primordial Golden Immortal emanated from his body—at this moment, his Physical Body cultivation had directly broken through to the Realm of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and he had even reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Late Stage, his Physical Body strength enough to contend with an innate supreme treasure.
Although his Primordial Spirit cultivation was slightly inferior, it had also reached the Primordial Golden Immortal Early Stage, and was extremely stable.
As for his comprehension of Laws, he had delved into all Three Thousand Great Dao Laws, with the Devouring Law and Yin and Yang Law being the most profoundly understood, reaching a Realm of ninety-eight percent, just one step away from Perfection; although the comprehension levels of other Laws varied, the lowest was also forty percent.
Such a foundation made him an undisputed top-tier existence in the entire Great Desolation.
After a brief period of adjustment, Wang Lin slowly awoke from his Epiphany; he first raised his hand to retrieve the jade disc of creation and the sea-calming pearls containing the enlightenment tea tree, which were resting beside him.
Then, he rose from the chaos green lotus, lightly tapped with his fingertip, and reintegrated this Chaos Supreme Treasure, capable of causing celestial phenomena, back into the sea-calming pearls.
He looked up at the empty lake beneath his feet, and his mind involuntarily recalled the two great powerful beings in the legends of the Great Desolation who had deep ties to the Netherworld Blood Sea, and he mused: "The essence and blood of the Sea of Blood have all been absorbed by me; without this nourishment, Old Ancestor Minghe will likely be delayed in his birth or even not be born at all, and Daoist Mosquito's chances are even slimmer
With a slight shift in his thoughts, Wang Lin suddenly remembered something—when Old Ancestor Ming He was born, he was accompanied by two High Grade Innate Spirit Treasures: the Yuan Tu Sword and the A Bi Sword.
These two treasures were not only incredibly sharp but also possessed the Heaven-Defying special effect of "killing without incurring Karma." If he could obtain them, it would not only greatly enhance his combat power but also, if he had the Opportunity to meet the Primeval Lord of Heaven in the future, he could lend him these two swords to help him comprehend the Law of the Sword, thus forging a good Karma.
Thinking of this, Wang Lin no longer hesitated and immediately activated the jade disc of creation above his head.
The jade disc of creation glowed with surging multi-colored light, and countless profound Law runes circulated on its surface, pushing the power of the Law of Space and the Law of Dao Proving to their limits.
Wang Lin's eyes slightly closed, his mind closely connected to the jade disc, using its Heaven-Defying power of deduction to scan inch by inch the underground area where the Netherworld Blood Sea had dried up.
The deep rock layers and hidden spatial rifts beneath the surface had nowhere to hide under the deduction of the jade disc of creation.
In less than half an incense stick's time, an anomalous space hidden deep within the earth's core was located—faint Innate Evil Qi permeated the area around this space, subtly resonating with the Origin Qi of the Yuan Tu and A Bi Twin Swords.
A sharp glint flashed in Wang Lin's eyes, and he immediately activated the Law of Space he had recently comprehended.
He formed a hand seal with his fingertips, and waves of spatial fluctuations emanated from his body; the Void Realm beneath his feet subtly warped, and in the next second, his figure, like traversing ripples, directly penetrated the rock layers, arriving before the barrier of that anomalous space.
This spatial barrier was completely black, its surface covered with ancient Formation patterns, exuding a chilling fierce Qi, clearly set up to guard the treasure within.
Wang Lin did not act rashly; instead, he summoned the jade disc of creation, letting it float before the barrier.
The jade disc's multi-colored light poured down, illuminating all the Formation patterns on the barrier.
Countless Law runes were disassembled and reassembled within the multi-colored light, and in but an instant, the operational logic of the grand Formation and the location of its core were deduced with perfect clarity.
"So that's how it is; this Formation uses the remnant soul of a demon god as its guide, borrowing the Evil Qi of the Sea of Blood for power.
It appears dangerous, but its core is actually fragile." Wang Lin understood in his heart, immediately forming a sword with his fingers, concentrating the Physical Body power of his Late Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation and the Primordial Golden Immortal level power in his fingertips, and gently tapped the deduced location of the Formation's core.
"Crack!" With a crisp sound, the pitch-black spatial barrier instantly split open a crack, which then rapidly spread, and the entire barrier shattered with a roar.
The moment the barrier shattered, two incomparably sharp Sword Qi assailed his face; deep within the Formation, two dark-red sword embryos quietly floated, their surfaces wreathed in faint blood-colored mist—these were precisely the Yuan Tu and A Bi, not yet fully formed!
Wang Lin took a step forward and reached out to grasp the two sword embryos in his hands, feeling a cold sensation in his palms.
The fierce Sword Qi and the Origin Law of "killing without incurring Karma" contained within the sword embryos were clearly discernible.
Yuan Tu slays the Physical Body, A Bi slays the Divine Soul.
He secretly rejoiced, "With these two sword embryos, if I nurture them with the Qiankun Cauldron's power of creation and my own vital blood, I will surely be able to refine them into a powerful innate supreme treasure!"
Subsequently, Wang Lin did not stop, once again activating the jade disc of creation to deduce.
Soon, another Formation was found—compared to the grand Formation guarding the sword embryos, this Formation was much simpler, sealed only by a few Innate Restrictions.
Wang Lin was too lazy to waste time and directly activated the Law of Space to perform the Spatial Shattering technique.
The Void Realm in his palm slightly collapsed, and a devouring spatial power spread out; those few Innate Restrictions were instantly shredded, and the Formation collapsed in response.
After the Formation shattered, a Spiritual Root about a zhang tall was revealed.
This Spiritual Root was entirely crimson, with rich blood Qi and Spiritual Qi flowing through its branches and leaves, and three hundred and sixty-five mature dark-red fruits hung from its branches—it was precisely the High Grade Innate Spiritual Root, the blood soul treasure tree!
Wang Lin probed the Spiritual Root's Origin with his Divine Thought and instantly understood its profoundness: it bore 365 fruits every epoch, and each fruit could both enhance blood Qi, refine the Physical Body, and nourish the Primordial Spirit, increasing its power, making it a rare all-purpose Spiritual Root in the Primordial World.
"If it can be cultivated into a High Grade Innate Spiritual Root, or even a Chaos Spiritual Root, it will certainly be a great help in the future." Wang Lin pondered in his heart, and immediately drew out half of his Heaven-Opening Karma from his Primordial Spirit—this Karma was one-tenth he had given to the chaos green lotus in his early years, and he had obtained Karma equivalent to two-tenths of Heaven-Opening Karma by worshipping the Great Dao; adding this gift to the tree, he still had five and a half tenths of Heaven-Opening Karma.
Amidst the flowing golden light, vast Great Dao Dao rhyme was contained.
He slowly injected the Karma into the blood soul treasure tree's body, and the treasure tree instantly burst forth with dazzling red light, its branches and leaves visibly growing more luxuriant at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its Origin Qi also strengthened by several points.
After all this was done, Wang Lin raised his hand and moved the blood soul treasure tree into the Middle Thousand Worlds of the sea-calming pearls, specifically planting it next to the three lights divine water on Three Immortals Island—the three lights divine water was excellent for nourishing Spiritual Roots, and coupled with the rich Chaos Spiritual Qi in the sea-calming pearls, it was enough to ensure the blood soul treasure tree's steady improvement.
Only after he once again used the jade disc of creation to deduce and confirm that there were no other treasures in the Netherworld Blood Sea did he put away the jade disc with satisfaction.
He looked up towards the center of the Primordial World, where clouds and mist swirled, and he could vaguely feel a majestic aura originating from the pillar of heaven and earth—it was Mount Buzhou.
"Now that my cultivation has greatly advanced and I have obtained a supreme treasure, it is time to visit Mount Buzhou.
Perhaps I can further refine my Physical Body by borrowing Father God's Divine Might and find more Opportunities on Mount Buzhou."
As his voice fell, Wang Lin's magic power circulated around his body, transforming into a streak of light that soared into the sky, flying directly towards Mount Buzhou, his figure quickly disappearing into the horizon.
After mastering the profundities of the Law of Space, Wang Lin's figure moved like a stream of light through the Chaos Void Realm, and in just half a year, he returned to the foot of Mount Buzhou, which carried the Origin of the Grandmist.
At the base of the mountain, the Pangu statue remained majestic, surrounded by the lingering Evil Qi of creation and the pressure of creation that had not yet dissipated.
Wang Lin tidied his robes, lit incense, and offered sacrifices with the utmost reverence, his Divine Thought filled with awe for this Father God: "Father God above, Wang Lin returns to Mount Buzhou, willing to uphold Father God's will, protect the Grandmist Origin, guard my younger brothers and sisters, and prevent future Chaos."
After the sacrifices, Wang Lin began to ascend Mount Buzhou on foot—he knew that his Physical Body had already reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, and his cultivation was firmly in the Late Stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
Ordinary pressure could no longer temper his Physical Body; only the increasing pressure of creation from the bottom up on Mount Buzhou could further refine the Foundation of his Physical Body.
Initially, although the fierce winds and gravity on the mountain wall were strong, they couldn't even shake his protective spiritual light.
When he reached the mountainside, Innate spiritual essence began to appear all around him; he could easily pick vermilion fruits that ripened once every thousand years, Spiritual Roots containing the Origin of the wood element, and occasionally even find some Innate Spirit Treasures in the rock crevices.
As he climbed and searched, Wang Lin's gains grew richer until a vine entwined with the Qi of Chaos appeared before his eyes—the vine was emerald green, with unripe green gourds hanging from its branches.
This was precisely the Innate Spiritual Root, the "gourd vine," which would only appear after Hongjun's first sermon in later generations!
This vine contained the vitality of creation and was one of the top Spiritual Roots in the Grandmist.
A glint of light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes, and he immediately activated the Law of Space, condensing the surrounding space into a barrier to isolate external pressure.
He then drew upon the power of the jade disc of creation fragments in his embrace, transforming it into a soft light shield that enveloped the gourd vine.
As the hand seals on his fingertips changed, the gourd vine, along with the Nine Heavens Breath Soil it was rooted in, slowly detached from the mountain wall and was placed by him into the Small World formed by the sea-calming pearls, where it was carefully planted beside the three lights divine water.
After settling the gourd vine, Wang Lin continued his ascent.
The higher Mount Buzhou, the slower the flow of time; a thousand years in the outside world felt like a mere flick of a finger to him.
When his final step landed on the summit, Wang Lin suddenly felt his vision brighten—a massive auspicious cloud floated in the Void Realm, its body as white as jade, with seven-colored divine light flowing around it.
This was precisely the auspicious cloud of the heavens!
And above the auspicious cloud, thirty-one strands of primordial violet qi floated quietly, like the condensed Dao of the primordial world: four of these violet qi strands were exceptionally thick, while the remaining twenty-seven were of normal form.
Upon closer inspection, beside the three thick violet qi strands representing the spokespersons of the Heavenly Dao, Human Race, and Earth Dao, eight slightly smaller Saint violet qi strands each circled them.
Additionally, one thick violet qi strand, carrying "a glimmer of hope," even had three derivative violet qi strands corresponding to the Heavenly Dao, Human Race, and Earth Dao below it, subtly forming a cycle.
Seeing this scene, Wang Lin suddenly understood and instantly comprehended the Karma of the Witch-Demon Calamity in later generations: no wonder Empress Houtu, in order to complete Reincarnation, did not hesitate to sacrifice herself to the Dao, and although she eventually condensed her Primordial Spirit, she was trapped in the underworld, only able to exert the power of a Saint within the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
It turned out that Hongjun had taken all the primordial violet qi representing the Heavenly Dao, Human Race, and Earth Dao, not even leaving the violet qi that carried a glimmer of hope!
This act of blocking others' paths and unilaterally controlling the Heavenly Dao caused anger to rise in Wang Lin's heart, and he secretly cursed: "Hongjun's actions are utterly selfish and deserve death!"
With his anger still simmering, Wang Lin raised his hand and took out an item—an ancient bronze mirror, its body engraved with the diagrams of the six harmonies and eight trigrams, its surface flowing with Yin and Yang Qi.
This was precisely the top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the "six harmonies mirror," which he had just found in a Chaos Restriction on the mountainside.
This mirror could stabilize the universe and collect all things, excelling at collecting Innate spiritual objects.
Wang Lin's fingertips moved with a hand seal, and the six harmonies mirror suddenly ascended into the sky, its surface emitting a brilliant white light that enveloped all the primordial violet qi on the auspicious cloud of the heavens.
In just an instant, all but two small Heavenly Dao primordial violet qi strands were collected into the mirror.
Looking at the remaining two small Heavenly Dao primordial violet qi strands, a cold glint flashed in Wang Lin's eyes.
He remembered the rumors in later generations that Hongjun had schemed against Hongyun, shattering a Heavenly Dao primordial violet qi into eight pieces to scheme against the Human Race's Luck and to control and suppress the Human Dao.
Since he had seen it today, there was no reason to let history repeat itself.
Wang Lin flicked his finger, and a wisp of Sword Qi containing the Law of Space shot out, precisely hitting one of the violet qi strands—with a "crack," that violet qi shattered into eight pieces.
"Hongjun, in later generations, you could use violet qi to scheme against the Human Race; today, I will use your own methods against you!" he said with a sneer, then activated the Law of Creation, and a soft Dao rhyme bloomed from his fingertips, slowly injecting into the eight violet qi fragments.
As the power of the Law circulated, the fragments gradually condensed and formed, transforming into eight independent strands of primordial violet qi, floating on the summit of Mount Buzhou, subtly connected to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
After dealing with the violet qi, Wang Lin raised his hand and took down the floating auspicious cloud of the heavens—this cloud was not only a rare treasure comparable to an innate supreme treasure, but also the vast righteous Qi from Pangu Father God's chest, guarding Father God's will and suppressing Mount Buzhou.
Holding the auspicious cloud, he transmitted his Divine Thought to the entire Mount Buzhou, his tone full of respect: "Father God, your child knows that Hongjun will surely ascend the mountain to seek treasures in the future.
If this auspicious cloud of the heavens falls into his hands, it might help him further control the Heavenly Dao.
This Junior presumes to take the auspicious cloud first; when order is restored in the future, I will return it to Father God, is that acceptable?"
As his voice fell, an ancient and profound will emanated from deep within Mount Buzhou, wordless yet carrying a clear sense of "permission."
Wang Lin's heart settled, and he immediately put away the auspicious cloud of the heavens and the six harmonies mirror, then turned and, carrying his abundant treasures, walked towards Pangu's divine hall on the mountainside of Mount Buzhou—he wanted to take advantage of the Heavenly Dao Luck bestowed upon him to refine treasures with the qiankun cauldron, making full preparations to deal with the Chaos in the Grandmist in the future.
The clouds on Mount Buzhou had not yet dispersed, but Pangu Hall was already filled with warmth. Wang Lin stepped over the ancient, mottled runes in the hall, his gaze falling upon the Pangu Blood Pond in the center, which glowed with a bloody radiance. The Vague Ancestral Witch illusory figures in the twelve blood cocoons were slowly solidifying in the pond water, no longer surrounded by the Evil Qi of the Witch Clan's Physical Body as he remembered, but rather by wisps of clear Primordial Spirit spiritual light flowing around them, flickering like stars between their brows.
He couldn't help but curve his lips, his eyes full of relief. The living beings of the Grandmist in his memory always regarded the Witch Clan as barbarians, citing their lack of a Primordial Spirit and their sole focus on the Physical Body. But now, these Twelve Ancestral Witches all possessed a Primordial Spirit, having both the immense power of the Ancestral Witches and the spiritual wisdom of a Primordial Spirit. In the future, who would dare to insult the Witch Clan? Wang Lin immediately raised his hand, and a grey-black lotus, dark as ink, appeared in his palm. Wisps of Chaos Qi swirled around its petals—it was the Innate Spirit Treasure, the Black Lotus of Tribulation. He gently placed the grey lotus at the hall entrance. As its petals unfurled, an invisible barrier instantly spread out, completely isolating the biting, bone-chilling Evil Qi of the Heaven-Opening outside the hall, which could erode the Primordial Spirit, creating a safe place for refining Magic Treasures within the hall.
Wang Lin had now found an empty stone platform in the hall. Spatial Law array patterns, carved by Wang Lin, were etched onto the platform to draw in Chaos Spiritual Qi. His fingertips flickered with spiritual light, and first, an ancient and heavy bronze cauldron slowly emerged. The cauldron's body was carved with patterns of the Qiankun (Heaven and Earth) operating and the sun and moon alternating—it was the innate supreme treasure, the qiankun cauldron. Immediately after, a pure white treasure gathering basin, capable of gathering the wandering Luck of Heaven and Earth, also appeared beside it. Wang Lin gazed at the Qiankun Cauldron, his brows slightly furrowed. He knew that although this treasure had the ability to reverse the Qiankun (Heaven and Earth) and return to Origin, its consumption was extremely astonishing. Like the Money-Dropping Golden Coin, each activation would deplete the practitioner's Luck, and even a slight mistake could damage his own Dao foundation.
"I must not use my own Luck," Wang Lin's thought was firm. He raised his hand and pressed it against his chest. A clear, melodious lotus fragrance immediately emanated from within his body, and a palm-sized, emerald green chaos green lotus slowly floated out. Its lotus leaves were still adorned with lingering Chaos mist. "Green Lotus, please temporarily suppress my own Luck," Wang Lin said softly, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity. "For this refining, I need to borrow the wandering Luck between Heaven and Earth, as well as the Luck bestowed upon me by the Great Dao as the 'First Living Being of the Grandmist.' I absolutely cannot allow my own Luck to be depleted."
The chaos green lotus swayed slightly, and a gentle Divine Thought entered Wang Lin's Sea of Consciousness: "No worries." Before the words finished, the green lotus leaves gently swayed, and wisps of Chaos Qi, like silk ribbons, wrapped around Wang Lin's body, slowly seeping into his Dantian Qi Sea. In just an instant, Wang Lin could clearly feel that his own vast Luck, like rivers and seas, was firmly suppressed deep within his Dantian, unmoving. Meanwhile, the wandering Luck between Heaven and Earth gathered like streams, flowing into his body through his pores. Coupled with the "First Living Being of the Grandmist" Luck bestowed by the Great Dao, the two forces intertwined, forming a faint golden halo around his body.
Seeing this, Wang Lin finally relaxed. He raised his hand and pointed at the qiankun cauldron. His internal Magic Power surged into the cauldron like a tide, and at the same time, his surrounding Luck also flowed in with the Magic Power. The qiankun cauldron suddenly lit up, its body patterns rapidly swirling, emitting a deep "humming" sound. A golden flame ignited within the cauldron, mixed with wisps of Luck power—this was the core power of the qiankun cauldron: the reversal of Qiankun (Heaven and Earth). Wang Lin then took out four ferocious-looking long swords and an array diagram covered with killing array runes. A rich killing aura lingered on the sword bodies—these were the core components of the Innate Killing Array, the Immortal Execution Array: the four swords of immortal execution and the immortal-slaying formation diagram.
He threw the swords and the array diagram into the qiankun cauldron together, and the golden flames instantly enveloped them. Under the dual activation of Luck and Magic Power, the four swords of immortal execution and the array diagram began to slowly melt. The killing patterns on the sword bodies gradually faded, and the killing array runes on the array diagram also dissipated one by one, finally transforming into five pure Origin powers, slowly floating in the cauldron. Wang Lin's gaze was sharp, closely watching the changes within the cauldron. After the five Origin powers completely stabilized, he suddenly remembered something. With a flick of his finger, two blood-colored Origin powers, imbued with a killing aura, flew out—these were the Origins of the Abi and Yuan Tu swords. These two Origins possessed the ability to sever the Physical Body and the Primordial Spirit, and even had the characteristic of killing without incurring Karma. If they could be integrated into it, the power of the new treasure would surely reach a higher level.
The Abi Origin entered the cauldron and quickly fused with the previous five Origins, transforming into an even purer deep purple Origin. Wang Lin immediately increased the injection of Magic Power and Luck, and the qiankun cauldron's rotation speed became even more rapid, its body patterns almost turning into afterimages. After an unknown period, the deep purple Origin in the cauldron began to slowly take shape. The hazy light gradually dissipated, and a giant chisel, entirely dark and ancient in appearance, appeared in the cauldron—it was the earth-splitting chisel.
This earth-splitting chisel was slightly different from the original used by Pangu when he opened the Heaven and Earth. There was an additional wing-like pattern on each side of the chisel's body. As the patterns flowed, they could draw upon the power of earth-splitting between Heaven and Earth. The tip of the chisel, however, glowed with a faint blood-colored cold light, which was the power of the Abi Origin. Wang Lin reached out and took out the earth-splitting chisel. It was cool to the touch but not biting, and a powerful force surged into his body through his palm. He could clearly feel the effects of severing the Physical Body and the Primordial Spirit contained within it, as well as the characteristic of not incurring Karma. "Such power, it's not inferior to the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe," Wang Lin marveled in his heart. He stored the earth-splitting chisel in his Sea of Consciousness, intending to refine it thoroughly later to completely integrate it with his own Dao foundation.
After refining the earth-splitting chisel, Wang Lin did not stop. He waved his hand, and five flags of different colors flew in the air: the Eastern Azure Lotus Treasured Banner, the Southern Flame Light Banner of Separation from Earth, the Western Plain Cloud Boundary Banner, the Northern Dark Primordial Water-Controlling Banner, and the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner. These were the Innate Spirit Treasures, the five directions innate banners. Following his previous refining method, he threw the Five Directions Banners into the qiankun cauldron together, and Luck and Magic Power were once again injected.
After entering the cauldron, the Five Directions Banners quickly shed their spiritual object shells, transforming into five Origin powers representing the Five Elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Under the qiankun cauldron's power of reversal, the five Origins slowly rotated and fused. The golden Wood Origin, the red Fire Origin, the white Metal Origin, the black Water Origin, and the yellow Earth Origin intertwined, finally condensing into a flag entirely multicolored, with tassels hanging from its edges—the innate supreme treasure, the Five Elements Banner. When this banner unfurled, a dense defensive force spread out, and the Innate Five Elements Grand Array contained within it could even resist the invasion of all Magic and ward off all evil. Because Wang Lin had injected his own essence blood during its refinement, this Five Elements Banner could be directly used without needing to refine Restrictions. He satisfactorily stored it in his Sea of Consciousness and turned to look at the treasure gathering basin beside him.
Next, Wang Lin took out two Acquired Karma Supreme Treasures: the heaven and earth mysterious yellow exquisite pagoda and the Grandmist Heaven-Measuring Ruler. The heaven and earth mysterious yellow exquisite pagoda was surrounded by rich Mysterious Yellow Karma Qi, its layers distinct, capable of resisting all attacks. The Grandmist Heaven-Measuring Ruler, on the other hand, was light purple, its body seeming to contain the Origin power of the Grandmist's beginning, its power comparable to the pangu banner, killing without incurring Karma. This refining did not require returning to Origin; it only needed to use Luck to remove the Acquired Restrictions and transform them into Innate Restrictions.
Wang Lin first threw the heaven and earth mysterious yellow exquisite pagoda into the qiankun cauldron. A large amount of Luck surged into the cauldron, and golden flames enveloped the Exquisite Pagoda. The Acquired Restrictions on the pagoda's body began to shatter layer by layer, replaced by older, more stable Innate Restrictions. In less than a hundred years, the heaven and earth mysterious yellow exquisite pagoda was completely transformed. The Mysterious Yellow Karma Qi became even richer, the pagoda's body soared into the clouds, and its defensive power was several times stronger than before, becoming a true Innate Karma Supreme Treasure. Immediately after, he threw the Grandmist Heaven-Measuring Ruler into the cauldron, also activating it with Luck. The Acquired patterns around the ruler's body gradually dissipated, and Innate Grandmist Qi continuously rose, eventually also transforming into an Innate Karma Supreme Treasure, with the ruler's power even greater than before.
At this moment, Wang Lin felt the remaining Luck around him, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes. He remembered the four top-grade innate spiritual root he had seen and obtained on Fangzhang Island among the Three Immortals Island. These four Spiritual Roots were all trees, nourished for tens of millions of years in the Grandmist, and had already completed their transformation. They could have directly transformed into top-grade Innate Spirit Treasures, but Wang Lin wanted them to transform into even stronger innate supreme treasures.
He took out the four Spiritual Roots. As soon as they appeared, they emitted a rich life aura. As their branches and leaves unfurled, they could draw upon the plant and wood Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth. Wang Lin first used the qiankun cauldron to transform the four Spiritual Roots into four top-grade Innate Spirit Treasures, and then threw them back into the cauldron, increasing the injection of Luck and Karma power. The flames in the cauldron suddenly flared, and the four Spirit Treasures gradually fused under the power of reversing Qiankun (Heaven and Earth). At the same time, Wang Lin raised his hand and grabbed at the Void Realm. The four Origin powers of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind from the Grandmist surged into the cauldron like long Dragons, integrating into the treasures that were taking shape.
As a large amount of Luck was consumed, a sky-supporting pillar, entirely emerald green and covered with plant and wood patterns, slowly formed. A rich Karma Qi and Origin power swirled around the pillar's body. Wang Lin did not stop, continuing to refine, and finally refined four sky-supporting pillars. Each pillar contained a type of Origin power: one drew upon the power of Earth, stable and heavy; one controlled the power of flowing water, agile and changeable; one commanded the power of flame, scorching and domineering; one pulled upon the power of wild winds, swift as the wind. He also divided one-tenth of the Heaven-Opening Karma into four parts and injected them into the four pillars, making them Innate Karma Supreme Treasures, so that even if Mount Buzhou left the Grandmist, they could stabilize a corner of Heaven and Earth.
Wang Lin stored the four sky-supporting pillars in his Sea of Consciousness, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards the sea calming divine pearls. He could sense the aura of the Tongtian Jianmu (Heaven-Connecting Wood) on Fangzhang Island within the Three Immortals Island. That Jianmu (Heaven-Connecting Wood) soared into the clouds, connecting the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man. If he were to combine the four sky-supporting pillars with the Tongtian Jianmu (Heaven-Connecting Wood) in the future, even if the sky-supporting pillars were to permanently leave the Grandmist, they could still stabilize the Heaven and Earth membrane of the Grandmist, preventing the Grandmist from being downgraded and Innate Spiritual Qi from turning into Acquired Spiritual Qi.
At this moment, Wang Lin belatedly felt his own Luck, only to find that the vast Luck around him, like rivers and seas, was almost depleted, with only two-tenths remaining. He was slightly stunned, then somewhat awkwardly scratched his head. The Luck consumed by this refining was truly too much, almost exhausting the Luck of the Grandmist Heaven and Earth, but it was fortunate that his "First Living Being of the Grandmist" Luck blessing and the Luck in the treasure gathering basin had not been consumed.
But then, Wang Lin felt relieved. As the First Living Being of the Grandmist, and with no other living beings yet born in the Grandmist, bearing eighty percent of the Grandmist's Luck was rightfully his, as acknowledged by the Great Dao. Moreover, this Luck was not used for his own enjoyment, but mostly spent on refining the sky-supporting pillars, for the future calamities of the Grandmist and the stability of Heaven and Earth. Thinking this, Wang Lin's last trace of guilt vanished. He raised his hand and brushed over the Supreme Treasures in his Sea of Consciousness, thinking: I need to quickly find the other sea calming divine pearls to open the Thirty-Six Heavens. Wang Lin stopped thinking and began to refine all the Magic Treasures on him.
Ten Yuanhui of the fourth epoch had quietly passed, with only two Yuanhui remaining until the arrival of the fifth epoch. Wang Lin stood before the Pangu Hall, the last wisp of spiritual light from refining the Restriction of the Spirit Treasure, like a firefly, merged into his palm and vanished into nothingness. This refining project, which lasted nearly three Yuanhui, finally concluded. The dozens of Innate Spirit Treasures he had collected had all their Restrictions removed. The Origin power swirling around him surged like a river, yet it condensed into a layer of cold halo on his skin—his brows, instead of relaxing, furrowed even deeper.
The Vicious Beast calamity of the fifth epoch hung like a sword over his head, destined to sweep across the universe like a Calamity, leaving devastation and fallen Heavenly Gods in its wake. The time left for him to plan was only these last two Yuanhui; every minute and every second could not be wasted.
"The Three Pure Ones…" Wang Lin gently twirled his fingers, Chaos Qi flowing between them, his thoughts drifting to the peak existences among the Innate Heavenly Gods. He clearly remembered that, by normal standards, the Three Pure Ones should have appeared during the Dragon-Han Calamity, rising to prominence after the Conflict between Dao and Demon. Yet, with the epochs changing, these three mighty beings, formed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit, had yet to show any trace. "Time is short, and there's too much to do," he murmured, his gaze suddenly sharpening. "If I don't make arrangements soon, Tongtian's Origin will be secretly seized by Taiqing. By the time the Three Pure Ones truly emerge, the Innate pattern will already be in disarray, and it will be too late for regrets."
With this thought, Wang Lin raised his hand and summoned the jade disc of creation. The ancient jade disc floated in his palm, its surface etched with patterns of the Great Dao of creation suddenly lighting up. Countless golden streams of light surged within the patterns, and the power of deduction spread like a tide into the Chaos Void Realm. In an instant, Kunlun Mountain's coordinates condensed into clear light traces in the Void Realm, even revealing the hidden Innate Spiritual Qi Veins deep within the mountain range.
Wang Lin, possessing the Law of Space, never needed to spend time traveling. Ripples like water spread around his body, and with a gentle sway, he appeared on the Kunlun Mountain range. Clouds and mist wrapped around the mountains like a veil, streams rushed through the valleys, immortal cranes cried out in unison, and the dense Immortal Qi almost solidified. Yet, Wang Lin's Divine Sense, sweeping across the entire Kunlun like a spiderweb, did not detect any trace of the Three Pure Ones.
"As expected, it's the Innate Great Formation guarding the Three Pure Ones." A glint flashed in his eyes. This Formation was even more profound than rumored, capable of completely shielding Origin fluctuations, almost deceiving even the initial deduction of the jade disc of creation. Wang Lin no longer hesitated. The jade disc of creation in his palm suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light. The Law of Space and the Law of Formation were simultaneously activated. The former, like a sharp blade, sliced open the spatial barrier, while the latter drew upon the Luck of heaven and earth, working in conjunction with the jade disc's own deduction function to its utmost limit.
In an instant, the core of the Innate Great Formation, its spatial nodes, and energy flow paths became clear before him, even the residual power of Pangu's creation contained within the Formation was clearly discernible. Before long, the hidden core location of the Three Pure Ones was precisely locked.
Wang Lin moved like a streak of light, traversing to the outside of the Formation. The Innate Great Formation guarding Pangu's Three Pure Ones was indeed incredibly complex, its Formation patterns interwoven like a net. Each pattern contained power capable of destroying heaven and earth. An ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortal, let alone breaking the Formation, would be torn apart by the Law power escaping from within the Formation if they even approached within a hundred miles. But Wang Lin paid no mind. The Law of Space around him transformed into countless invisible blades. With a gentle stroke along the spatial cracks of the Formation, he penetrated the Formation's shield as if slicing tofu, entering the space within the Formation unimpeded.
Within the Formation, three shadowy light clusters floated in the Void Realm, which were the Origin cores of the Three Pure Ones. These three light clusters shared the same aura but each had distinct characteristics: Taiqing's Origin was warm like ancient jade, Yuqing's Origin was sharp like cold ice, and Shangqing's Origin carried a hint of untamed sharpness—they were originally formed from three wisps of Pangu's Primordial Spirit combined with the clear Qi of creation. Because their Origins came from the same source and were closely linked, they were named "Three Pure Ones."
Wang Lin gazed at the light clusters, a thought of comparison flashing through his mind: Compared to the Ancestral Witches, who were not yet tainted by Evil Qi, the Three Pure Ones, though also Pangu's legacy, ultimately lacked the pure Pangu Bloodline of the Ancestral Witches and could not be considered true Pangu descendants. But the moment his Divine Sense probed the light clusters, his expression suddenly darkened—in the Origin light clusters of Shangqing (Tongtian) and Yuqing (Yuanshi), a wisp of Origin spiritual light was missing, and the aura of the void was exactly the same as Taiqing's Origin!
"Taiqing has already awakened ahead of time?" A storm surged in Wang Lin's heart, and even a bold thought flashed through his mind: "Could he also be a Transmigrator?" But he immediately shook his head, denying it—if Taiqing truly were a Transmigrator, with a Transmigrator's utilization of "foreknowledge," he would never just seize a wisp of Origin; he would likely directly strip away the entire Origins of the other two Pure Ones to eliminate future troubles.
Regardless of Taiqing's identity, Wang Lin could never tolerate the act of seizing another's Origin and disrupting the Innate order. He reached out his hand, and the Law power at his fingertips transformed into golden chains, coiling like spiritual snakes around Taiqing's Origin light cluster. The moment the chains touched the light cluster, they precisely locked onto two faint spiritual lights. With a gentle tug, those two wisps of Origin belonging to Shangqing and Yuqing were forcibly stripped from Taiqing's Origin and landed steadily in Wang Lin's palm.
He did not stop there. His gaze swept over Taiqing's Origin, and he extracted two more wisps of Origin spiritual light from it. One wisp was injected into Shangqing's light cluster, causing the originally somewhat dim cluster to instantly brighten a few shades; then, he carefully pulled out a wisp of spiritual light from Yuqing's Origin and likewise integrated it into Shangqing's body—he wanted to make Tongtian's Origin even stronger, enabling him to contend with Taiqing and Yuqing in the future. Finally, he struck the remaining wisp of Taiqing's Origin into Yuqing's light cluster, filling its Origin void.
Thus, only Taiqing was left damaged. His Origin light cluster instantly dimmed, and its originally warm aura became sluggish. Wang Lin watched this scene, without any guilt in his eyes: "Since you dared to act first and seize another's Origin, you should bear such consequences. As children of the Father God, how can I allow you to act so wantonly?"
After dealing with the matter of the Three Pure Ones' Origins, Wang Lin closed his eyes, his Divine Sense sinking into his body. Twelve sea calming divine pearls floated within his Dantian, each as brilliant as a star, and within each pearl, a complete Middle Thousand Worlds had already been opened. And in the center of one divine pearl, a chaos green lotus quietly bloomed. Chaos dew drops rolled on its green leaves, emitting pure Chaos Origin aura—it was the Chaos Supreme Treasure he had obtained in his early years.
Wang Lin communicated simply with the chaos green lotus with his Divine Sense. The green lotus seemed to sense it, gently swaying and releasing a soft Chaos power. He then raised his hand and carefully struck Shangqing's Origin light cluster into the Three Immortals Island within the sea calming divine pearls' world—that island was a spiritual land he had specially opened, gathering the Innate Spiritual Qi of the Middle Thousand Worlds. "Nurtured by the power of the chaos green lotus, it can both protect your Origin's stability and enhance your Innate foundation," Wang Lin murmured in his heart. He then reinforced the protective Formation of the Three Immortals Island with his own Origin, ensuring no accidents, before turning and leaving the hidden place of the Three Pure Ones.
"kunlun mirror…" As he stepped out of the Formation, Wang Lin's steps suddenly paused, and an ultimate treasure appeared in his mind. The kunlun mirror in the hands of the Queen Mother of the West of West Kunlun was a top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, containing the complete Great Dao of Time and Space. It was crucial for him to perfect the Law of Space and even touch upon the Law of Time. Such an ultimate treasure could not be missed.
He once again activated the jade disc of creation. The jade disc glowed, instantly locking onto the location of the Yaochi Immortal Realm in West Kunlun. Wang Lin's figure flickered, space folded again, and the next moment he stood by the shore of Yaochi. The clear water of Yaochi was like a giant emerald, reflecting the myriad rays of light in the sky.Jatropha japonica grew everywhere on the shore, and on a lotus platform in the center of Yaochi, an ancient bronze mirror floated, its body flowing with faint spatio-temporal fluctuations—it was the kunlun mirror.
Wang Lin did not disturb the Queen Mother of the West, who was sleeping deep within Yaochi. He merely reached out his hand, wrapped the kunlun mirror with the Law of Space around his body, and with a gentle pull, brought this top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure into his possession. The mirror felt cool in his hand, and the spatio-temporal Great Dao aura contained within it instantly resonated with the Laws around him, deepening his understanding of Space by another layer.
He looked at the vague figure deep within Yaochi. After a slight contemplation, he separated a portion of the Karma of creation from his glabella—that was his due as a descendant of Pangu and the Three Thousand Demon Gods, containing the power of the supreme Great Dao. It transformed into a golden stream of light and silently merged into the Queen Mother of the West's body. "Today I take your kunlun mirror, not by force," Wang Lin's voice was gentle yet carried a promise. "In the future, when you awaken, I will surely help you comprehend the Great Dao and achieve the Hunyuan Dao Fruit."
With that, he raised his hand and laid down a reinforced Formation, firmly protecting the Innate Spiritual Qi of Yaochi and the Queen Mother of the West's Origin, before his figure once again disappeared into the Kunlun clouds and mist.
Returning to Pangu Hall, Wang Lin's gaze first fell on the twelve blood-colored cocoons on both sides of the hall. They were his Ancestral Witch brothers and sisters, the purest inheritors of Pangu's Bloodline. At this moment, the essence blood within the blood cocoons had thinned to almost transparent, but the Origin light flowing on the surface of the cocoons grew stronger, vaguely revealing the powerful Physical Bodies within the cocoons, and the Primordial Spirit power contained within them, far exceeding that of ordinary Innate Heavenly Gods.
"Soon, you will be able to emerge," Wang Lin murmured softly, gently stroking a blood cocoon, feeling the vigorous life within it, a warmth appearing in his eyes. But then, his gaze turned to the Western Continent of the Chaos Void Realm, and a decisive look flashed in his eyes: "Before you emerge, I will first go to the Western Continent to see…"
