Chapter 469: Opening the Inner World, God-Tier Native Species!

True Spirit Fruit is one of the few treasures capable of strengthening the True Spirit, and it can only be produced in the Primordial Realm.

Lords of the Empire's major star systems, such as Lord Beihe, who campaigns outside year-round, would only receive one fruit every thousand years.

It was only after he cultivated Zhao Xing, a talent for the Empire to enter the Primordial Realm, that his share increased to three, which shows just how precious True Spirit Fruit is.

Yet, in just this short while, Zhao Xing had already consumed ten.

He had about three hundred more laid out before him.

There was no other reason: he had the connections and the wealth!

"Normally, one True Spirit Fruit is enough to break through to the Reincarnation Realm, but my situation is different from others."

Swallowing ten in one breath was merely the beginning for Zhao Xing.

Because within his Life Palace, one hundred and one soul bodies stood on the mountain, waiting in line.

"Of the one hundred and one soul bodies standing on the mountain, the one that fused with the Earth Soul is the main body. The rest are split souls formed after cultivating the Primordial Grass Man Technique."

After mastering the Primordial Grass Man Technique, the soul undergoes a massive tearing. The original intent was to allow the split souls to grow stronger after division, and then fuse them to strengthen the True Spirit.

As Gu Tianyang envisioned, after one thousand tearings, if all split souls survived the True Spirit Tribulation and attained the Demigod level, then fused them together, the True Spirit strength would be one thousand times that of a Demigod.

Of course, the side effect is that if the split souls remain independent for too long, they will develop their own thoughts.

Tearing isn't something one can do casually, either.

After tearing, the main soul body's realm drops, and the split souls must reside within the Primordial Grass Man shells to continue growing.

The material configuration for the Primordial Grass Man is one grade higher than the Grand Void Grass Man. Only in this way can one ensure the split souls can reside in the Primordial Grass Man bodies for a long time and allow the split souls' realms to improve.

Zhao Xing learned the Primordial Grass Man Technique three hundred years ago, but had only torn his soul once.

There was no help for it; at that time, he had just recovered from a serious illness and was buried in debt, so he didn't dare to split too much.

But after digging up the treasure, he was suddenly debt-free, so in a mere sixty years, he split his soul one hundred times, creating 100 Primordial Avatars.

High-configuration versions, all built with Reincarnation Dao-soldier materials.

After one hundred soul tearings, the split souls all reached the Life-Death Dao Domain Realm.

The difference between the main soul body and the split souls was only one thing: the main body's Life Soul was fused with the Earth Soul, while the split souls were not.

The split souls are not tainted by karma, nor do they reincarnate.

But their combat power is on par with the main soul body, and they can be swapped out at any time.

Yet, the breakthrough must happen together.

This technique created by Gu Tianyang requires both.

This resulted in Zhao Xing's True Spirit breakthrough now requiring resources calculated at 100 times the usual amount.

"Eat faster, stop dawdling!"

"How did I end up at the back of the line?" "Where are the True Spirit Fruits? Did you buy too few?"

"666, so refreshing."

Inside the Life Palace, the hundred-plus split souls began to clamor.

Zhao Xing felt very strange now, because he could feel that the split souls were one with him, yet not entirely—it was as if a person could have many thoughts at the same time.

These were the ones split at longer intervals; that was the side effect.

To suppress the side effects, one must prioritize the Mind-Will technique. When the mind and will are strong enough to achieve a single thought, it is equivalent to integrating all split souls.

"The side effect of the Primordial Grass Man Technique is also its source of power."

"In cultivating this technique, the Mind-Will technique takes priority over the soul-strengthening technique, and priority over the materials for the Grass Man shell."

Zhao Xing employed the Heart Field Technique to unify his will; the split souls' thoughts indeed became unified, and the sense of strangeness from the splitting vanished.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~

Ninety True Spirit Fruits flew into the Life Palace all at once.

Each split soul consumed a True Spirit Fruit and began to transform.

With this, all the split soul bodies completed their transformation, reaching the ordinary Reincarnation Realm.

"Main soul body."

Zhao Xing's main soul body was more special, because he had cultivated the Reincarnation Temple secret technique "Reincarnation" given by Qing Yuzi.

First, it fused with the Life Soul, causing his main soul body to maintain the existence of the soul core, possessing the dominant thought, and the main soul body was also stronger.

Secondly, the main soul body was influenced by the Azure Flower magic power, because the Azure Flower magic power contains all Daos, naturally including the Dao of the soul and the Dao of the will.

For the split soul bodies, Zhao Xing deliberately controlled them so they were not amplified by the Azure Flower magic power.

"Chi chi~~"

The main soul body consumed the remaining two hundred True Spirit Fruits.

"Roar~"

The main soul body let out a roar, rising from the ranks of the soul bodies.

Soon, the main soul body's height surpassed all the split souls.

"Geez, why can the main soul body grow so big?"

"And he dares to keep secrets from the master, hmph!"

"Everyone be quiet, can't you just be still?"

"Sigh, to have cultivated so many split souls without the will to back it up, this is death."

"..."

These miscellaneous thoughts soon quieted down. When Zhao Xing's main soul body broke through, it brought the split soul bodies along to become stronger as well.

At this moment, Zhao Xing felt that three hundred True Spirit Fruits were not enough. So he immediately opened a purple jade bottle in the valley.

"Clatter~"

Five golden water droplets dripped onto his forehead.

The droplets fell, but passed through his body, reaching deep into his soul.

"Sea Soul Holy Water, a natural treasure condensed from the primordial ocean, capable of enhancing soul power. One drop costs 1000 Xuanling Ancient Coins, equivalent to the entire net worth of a Lord-level expert."

"Chi chi chi~"

The main soul body swallowed the five water droplets, the soul body surged again, becoming even more solid.

At the same time, in a temple in the corner of the valley.

Zhao Xing's statue suddenly shattered.

A golden light rushed over, merging into the main soul body.

"Hum~"

Faint green light intertwined into a flower, imprinted on the main body's forehead, but outside the Azure Flower was a golden-edged border.

"The Heavenly Soul has also fused."

Zhao Xing opened his eyes.

The Heavenly Soul resides in the temple; Zhao Xing's Heavenly Soul had always been kept in the Great Zhou's Sinuong Temple.

The third stage of the Reincarnation Temple's soul technique "Reincarnation" is the fusion of the Heavenly Soul.

At this moment, the main soul body completed its breakthrough, and the "Reincarnation" secret technique also completed its breakthrough.

The panel showed that Zhao Xing's soul realm had reached the Lord level!

Directly skipping over the ordinary and senior levels.

"Boom crack~"

Just as Zhao Xing was experiencing this feeling of becoming stronger, his soul body suddenly shuddered, and he faintly heard the sound of thunder.

"The True Spirit Tribulation is not far off."

A realization surged in Zhao Xing's heart, and he looked up at the starry sky above.

True Spirit strengthening and reincarnation is one way, but not the only way.

In the process of True Spirit strengthening, one will encounter the True Spirit Tribulation, and one will have an intuition about it in the dark.

Like Zhao Xing, who reached the Lord-level True Spirit upon breakthrough, he immediately sensed the existence of his first True Spirit Tribulation.

It was just that he could not predict the exact date, or in what form it would appear.

"Hoo~"

Zhao Xing let out a long breath. Breaking through to the Reincarnation Realm and encountering the True Spirit Tribulation is normal; after all, he had stayed in the Origin Realm for so long, and he was a triple-path cultivator, so his accumulation was too deep.

"Swish~" The World-Opening God Stone was taken out by Zhao Xing from his storage ring.

"Origin Projection, appear!"

With a thought, a shadow shrouded the entire valley.

The Origin Space opened; the Black Sky Moon Tree appeared, and the Spirit-Devouring Grass appeared.

It was just that these two plant lives with Emperor-level strength were both suppressed by the divine object, the Hunyuan Dao Tower.

"Emperor, are you finally going to break through?" In a corner of the valley, the Thousand Illusion Tree swayed its branches, its eye-like leaves all turning to look at Zhao Xing, excited beyond measure.

"Hmm, Qianhuan, stay where you are and don't move; the commotion will be very large in a moment."

"Yes."

The Thousand Illusion Tree obediently lowered its branches.

Soul breakthrough, reaching the Lord-level True Spirit, allows one to control the intensity of the Origin Space breakthrough.

However, even though he had already condensed a True Spirit, Zhao Xing still did not dare to be negligent in opening his Inner World.

"I bought so many treasures, eighty percent of them were in preparation for this opening."

"Mainly because this World-Opening God Stone in my hand has too strong an amplification effect on opening the Inner World."

"I hope the preparations are sufficient."

For a Reincarnation Realm Sinuong to open an Inner World, one can do without World Stones, but the chance of breakthrough is very slim.

World Stones, techniques, and the accumulation from the Origin Realm period determine the grade and size of the Inner World, and most importantly, the birth of 【Native Species】.

The normal standard is average techniques, average World Stones, and average accumulation.

Speaking only of World Stones, usually they only use common goods like Yin-Yang World Stones or Five-Element Stones.

What is opened is a standard Inner World.

The native species born will not exceed Emperor-level quality, and inferior ones might even be at the King level.

The medium level uses medium techniques, and during the Origin Realm period, one can become a Great Supernatural expert, using the "Rain Immortal Stone" series of World Stones.

One can open a medium Inner World, and it will definitely give birth to Emperor-level quality native species.

The excellent level uses high-end goods, such as the "World Heart" seen in the Medicine King World, which is energy capable of overturning the core arrays of top-tier forces.

The techniques cultivated are usually created by top-tier forces, and they were once Great Supernatural experts with deep accumulation.

Usually, one can open a top-tier Inner World and give birth to Emperor-level quality native species.

Zhao Xing believed that none of these reference standards applied to him.

Because he had already exceeded the standards.

The technique is the strongest explosive-growth technique "Hunyuan World"; during the Great Supernatural period, he was a triple-path cultivator with deep accumulation, even capable of killing senior-level Reincarnation experts. The World Stone used is the World-Opening God Stone. Every single one is extremely rare, so no matter how much Zhao Xing prepared, it was not too much.

"Clatter~"

The bottles and jars in the valley were opened one after another, all falling into the Origin Space.

A purple crystal gourd floated into the sky, pouring out a river of spiritual liquid, collected from the Primordial Heavenly Palace's Immortal Spirit River.

A golden soil sank into the ground, emitting a sound like a heartbeat. It came from the Primordial Ancient Vein, one of the Nine Veins of the Primordial Ancient Hill.

A dark yellow leaf, emitting majestic vitality, swayed in the wind; it was a withered leaf that had fallen from the Primordial God Tree.

When everything entered the Origin Space, the Hunyuan Dao Tower emitted strands of airflow from its top, separating the entire Origin Space into grids like the Eight Trigrams.

Zhao Xing took the opportunity to release the World-Opening God Stone in his hand.

"Pop~"

The World-Opening God Stone dropped, and the moment it touched the Origin Projection, four strands of chaotic mist emerged.

"Chi chi chi chi chi~"

The Origin Space seemed to be struck by a storm at its boundary; the chaotic mist impacted in all directions, and in an instant, it increased the Origin Space, which originally only had 10 World-Element units, to 100 World-Element units.

The speed of expansion was too terrifying!

Zhao Xing's body almost collapsed to the ground, because his technique, Hunyuan World, also increased tenfold involuntarily.

This was a height he had never reached before, like a person being dragged by a car, exceeding his own original ability limit, and he would soon fall and be dragged to death.

"Ah he he~"

Zhao Xing's body curled and twisted, smoke rising from his whole body, and his magic power operation became disordered in an instant!

The Origin Space, magic power, and even consciousness... at this moment were like wild horses without reins, completely out of control!

The divine power of the divine object was vast and mighty, not something that a Lord-level True Spirit could slow down.

Fortunately, Zhao Xing did not have only one divine object. The divine object bestowed by Emperor Chixing—the Hunyuan Dao Tower—began to exert its power.

It had been at the center of the soil, and at this moment, it suddenly began to rotate, also dispersing four strands of airflow.

However, these chaotic airflows were rotating, much more orderly than the effect caused by the World-Opening God Stone.

It rotated in the opposite direction, the mist seeming to twist into strands of reins, lassoing the wild horses.

This made the expansion of the Origin Space boundary orderly.

Because of this, Zhao Xing's consciousness was the first to recover, no longer twisted.

About ten thousand eight hundred immeasurable time units later, his magic power also returned to normal operation.

"The Emperor is awesome!"

Zhao Xing lay on the ground, shouting in his heart.

He had never thought the World-Opening God Stone would be so fierce, after all, he hadn't used it in his previous life.

But he hadn't thought the Emperor would be even fiercer, actually being able to control the effect of the World-Opening God Stone, making it change from an uncontrollable instantaneous explosion to something controllable.

"As expected of a work that attained the God Realm." Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh.

Emperor Chixing was the God of Mechanisms; it is rumored that the moment he made the Hunyuan Dao Tower, he broke through to the God Realm.

"Chi chi chi~~" The expansion of the mist continued, and soon Zhao Xing's Origin Space expanded to 1000 World-Element units.

"Clatter~" Reaching 1000 World-Element units, Zhao Xing heard the sound of waves.

Only to see an ocean appear around the Hunyuan Dao Tower and the World-Opening God Stone.

It was turbid and filthy, yet seemed to contain all Daos.

"Chi chi chi~"

Mist rose, and from the primordial ocean, Cloud Qi was generated.

It was a vast expanse of confusion, also gray and turbid, seemingly containing many solid substances.

"Hum~"

The ocean roared below, and the clouds rotated above.

At a certain moment, a high mountain suddenly rose from the ocean, connecting the ocean and the Cloud Qi.

The first World Mountain was formed!

It continued to expand, and soon the mountain foot spread, forming pieces of land.

Some land was washed away by the primordial ocean's torrent, splitting into many pieces.

"Hoo~ woo~"

Suddenly, a sound of wind came.

Zhao Xing felt a cool sensation.

His consciousness moved with the wind, appearing in the primordial ocean, and also appearing in the clouds and the World Mountain.

At this moment, Zhao Xing's consciousness spread over the entire world.

"I am the world, the world is me."

A magical feeling surged in Zhao Xing's heart.

He felt that he could control the Hunyuan Dao Tower and the World-Opening God Stone at the same time.

"Primordial Ocean, rise!"

"Cloud Qi turns to rain, fall!"

Yin and Yang separated, and rain began to fall from the clouds.

Spiritual energy rain first fell from the World Mountain.

"Pat!"

When the first drop of rain fell.

The black and white world suddenly had a bit of color.

Color spread from points to surfaces, instantly spreading throughout the world, and Zhao Xing felt the world before his eyes brighten up.

"From now on, the Origin Space has transformed into an Inner World."

The bright light was not substantial light, but the Dao of Life beginning to manifest.

From this moment on, what Zhao Xing possessed was no longer an Origin Space, but an Inner World!

"World Star, form!"

Rumble!

The primordial ocean impacted the World Mountain, countless gravel was thrown away, forming scorching lava stars. Countless golden light spots, these golden light spots rotated around the World Mountain.

Zhao Xing had a thought, and the World Mountain turned into a five-finger shape.

The Five-Finger Mountain began to emit mist, kneading the lava planets.

He directly controlled the changes in his Inner World.

The first Sun Star was born.

Followed by the Moon Star.

Representing the Five Elements, the five stars of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

"The first Yin-Yang Nine-Star System, formed!"

Zhao Xing looked at this star system, full of joy.

Usually, a Sinuong's Inner World is the prototype of a small world, like the pattern of the Xuanhuang World.

But his current Inner World prototype is more like a universe.

Like the Inner World of Gu Luohe.

Clearly, a universe-level Dao is more perfect than a small world.

The spiritual energy substances prepared were sufficient, plus the combined effect of the World-Opening God Stone and the Hunyuan Dao Tower. Now his Inner World has a bit of a small universe feel.

"What grade of Inner World should this be?" Zhao Xing didn't know either.

At this moment, his Inner World had a primordial ocean, a World Mountain, a boundless continent, and a piece of chaotic Cloud Qi, constantly gestating stars. The first Yin-Yang Five-Element Star System was also born.

"The Inner World is finalized; in terms of quality, it is a universe model; in terms of size, it has 10, 00 World-Element units, completely comparable to an Emperor-level Inner World."

"Next is the critical moment for the birth of Native Species."

Zhao Xing's consciousness shook the entire world, beginning to operate the technique "Hunyuan World".

Carrying out the four major stages of world evolution.

"Swish~"

A light seemed to tear through space; it appeared in sixty-eight immeasurable time units, so Zhao Xing didn't notice it at all, and the Inner World had already entered the "Origin Stage".

"Completed?"

Zhao Xing only had a very faint, blurry intuition, and the "Primordial Stage" had already ended.

"As expected of the Instant Primordial, my consciousness has spread throughout the entire Inner World, yet I didn't feel how it happened at all."

At this moment, Zhao Xing searched the whole world, looking for the figure of the first "Native Species".

What surprised Zhao Xing a bit was.

The first native species did not appear in the primordial ocean, nor did it appear on the first World Mountain or the boundless continent, nor did it appear in the Cloud Qi.

Instead, it appeared in the Yin-Yang Nine-Star System created by the Six-Qi Theory.

"I created the primordial ocean, which was formed according to the theory of the Self-Path."

"I created the chaotic Cloud Qi, which is the theory of the Heavenly Time Path."

"The boundless continent imitates the Earth-Vein structure of the Extreme Land technique."

"Using the supreme principles of the three paths to form native species at the birth of the world will also improve the quality of the native species."

"With so many good places, why did it appear here?"

Zhao Xing muttered in his heart, his vision zoomed in, landing on the Yin-Yang Nine Stars. Coincidentally, the native species grew between the Metal Star and the Fire Star.

"Hmm?"

Zhao Xing took a closer look and was a bit stunned.

Because he found the position of the native species very unique.

Originally, this should be the position of Earth in the solar system, and in the Star-Annihilation Six-Qi Theory, it also represents life.

But now the Earth he created was gone, and instead, a seed like Earth appeared.

"Is this my native species?"

Zhao Xing blinked.

At this moment, the entire world began the process of natural evolution, and he didn't need to control it at all times.

More native species appeared, giving birth to a large number of plants; at the beginning of the world's opening, plants formed first.

In the first batch, seven types of Emperor-level quality plant lives appeared, and ten thousand King-level quality plant lives.

"Other native species, after birth, quickly absorbed the power of the World-Opening God Stone and possessed life characteristics. When I looked at the panel, I immediately knew what type of native species it was."

"Let's see what quality this first native species is."

Zhao Xing looked at the seed that looked like a planet.

【Native Species】

【Quality: God-Tier】

【Status: Gestating】

"God-Tier Native Species!"

Zhao Xing had vaguely guessed the quality of this seed, but when he saw the words "God-Tier", he still couldn't help but be ecstatic.

But seeing the status behind it, still in the gestation stage, he couldn't understand it.

"After the native species is born, as the master of opening the Inner World, the category and type should be clear at a glance, so why is it still gestating?"

"Is it because the energy is insufficient?"

Zhao Xing had a thought and moved the remaining part of the World-Opening God Stone.

At this moment, the World-Opening God Stone only had a tiny bit left. Zhao Xing didn't make a fuss about the quality and size, but transported all the remaining energy to the native species. The Hunyuan Dao Tower also channeled this energy. It was transmitted to the native species.

However, Zhao Xing found that this native species actually didn't eat it.

"No, it still eats."

"But the conversion rate is too low; it only absorbed one percent of the World-Opening God Stone?"

"You don't even eat the energy provided by the World-Opening God Stone, so what do you eat?"

Zhao Xing was shocked.

He tried repeatedly and finally reached a conclusion.

It only absorbs two things: one is the Azure Flower magic power, with an absorption efficiency of only one in ten thousand, meaning that for every ten thousand units of Azure Flower magic power transported, only one unit is absorbed.

The World-Opening God Stone is the same, but it has one percent.

As for other spiritual energy substances, feeding is ineffective without exception.

"What type of native species is it exactly?" Zhao Xing thought carefully. "Azure Flower magic power can be used as nutrients, and the World-Opening God Stone can too. Do these two have anything in common?"

Zhao Xing was a little shocked.

He tried constantly and finally reached a conclusion.

It only absorbs two things: one is green flower magic power, with an absorption efficiency of only one in ten thousand, which means that for every 10, 00 units of green flower magic power transported, only about one unit is absorbed.

The Boundary-Breaking Divine Stone is the same, but it has one percent.

Other spiritual energy substances are all ineffective for feeding.

"What type of native species is it?" Zhao Xing pondered carefully, "Green flower magic power can be used as nutrients, and the Boundary-Breaking Divine Stone can too. What do these two have in common?"
