Chapter 192: The Marvel of the Zhanxian Gourd's Origin

Auspicious light gathered in clouds, and propitious colors lingered.

Shining upon Fang Longye, who sat cross-legged atop Cloud Cliff, it set him off as increasingly transcendent and refined.

One could see a celebration cloud about a mu in size above his head, clear and bright as water, with clouds churning and five colors condensing within. Faintly, its shadow swayed with a rustling sound, revealing a mysterious Five-Colored Treasure Tree rooted within.

Upon the treasure tree, black and white Yin and Yang dragons coiled, their dragon heads held high, as if choosing someone to devour.

A short while later.

Fang Longye opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming. He exhaled, the exhaled clouds like smoke, condensing and not dispersing.

No longer considering anything else, he, still feeling a lingering fear, immediately flipped his palm and summoned his own treasure gourd.

It was a Red Jade Gourd, its body entwined with coiled patterns; the texture was ancient and grand, blooming with seven-colored light.

On the body of the gourd, fine lines were outlined into a pattern, forming the shape of a Taiji Yin-Yang Fish.

Looking closely at the interior of the gourd, it was different from before.

The entire space of the gourd was like a newly opened world, with Clear Qi rising and Turbid Qi sinking. Between the Clear and Turbid Qi, a Yin-Yang Fish slowly rotated.

As if suppressing heaven and earth, it emitted an Aura deep as an abyss and vast as the sea. Countless rays of light appeared all around, containing the meaning of the universe's birth and destruction.

Without needing to be manipulated, just by resting quietly in his hand, it spontaneously stirred the surrounding Aura into a dense mist, with mysterious sounds echoing in waves.

"Wanfu Ruyi Treasure Gourd..." Looking at this treasure gourd that had condensed his heart's blood, Fang Longye frowned and muttered to himself, "What was I thinking back then? This name I chose is just too plain!"

Thinking of this treasure gourd, its initial foundation of refinement was the Taiji Divine Talisman, known as the ancestor of all talismans. Later, the Two Instruments Weichen Array was engraved within it, helping to increase its power.

Added to this was the material of the treasure gourd, which had always grown by absorbing his own origin. Benefiting from his previous smelting of Wu Clan Essence Blood, the treasure gourd subsequently gained a portion of Clear and Turbid Qi.

Clearly, under his own cultivation and refinement, this treasure gourd had already embarked on the path of Taiji and Two Instruments deriving all things.

Stroking the now extraordinary material of the treasure gourd, Fang Longye chuckled and said, "It has at least reached the level of a Superior Spiritual Treasure; since it is about to face a wave of transformation, it is time to change its name."

"From now on, I shall call you the 'Two Instruments Divine Gourd'!"

Hum—

The entire gourd seemed to be sentient, trembling incessantly, with mysterious sounds erupting, full of joy.

Fang Longye shook his head and laughed. He pointed a finger, and the newly renamed 'Two Instruments Divine Gourd' immediately lowered its flags and ceased its drums, becoming quiet.

Then, unhurriedly, he took out a jade bottle.

The jade bottle was sky-blue as water, covered with layers of Restrictions and seals.

Without hesitation, he directly removed the seals and opened the jade bottle.

Immediately, a brilliant divine radiance shone forth, seven-colored mists swirled, Divine Light permeated the air, and propitious clouds appeared in succession.

This divine radiance was gathered in Fang Longye's hand, dense and not dispersing, constantly churning. Wonderful sounds arose one after another, and indescribable mysterious truths floated within the divine radiance.

"It is indeed worthy of being an origin just extracted from an Innate Spiritual Treasure; it is truly extraordinary," Fang Longye praised highly.

This divine radiance was no ordinary thing; it was an Innate origin extracted from the top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Zhanxian Gourd.

It was precisely one of the items on the list of treasures that Lu Ya had promised him.

"Ho—it is worthy of the name Zhanxian Gourd; even a single strand of origin hides infinite killing intent within, truly extraordinary!"

Afterwards, he swallowed it in one gulp.

He did not let the newly renamed 'Two Instruments Divine Gourd' directly swallow and absorb it; instead, he opened his mouth to swallow the divine radiance into his abdomen, operating the secret technique 'Great Vehicle Yin and Yang Dragon Transformation Scripture' to smelt it into one.

After all, this origin from the Zhanxian Gourd could be said to be of the same origin and sect as the Gourd Seed he had smelted at the very beginning.

As soon as this divine radiance emerged from the jade bottle, it caused his own origin to become joyful and restless.

Clearly, the two were highly compatible.

Of course, after smelting it into his body, most of the origin would still follow his will and be poured into the 'Two Instruments Divine Gourd'. Crack!

The Zhanxian Gourd was indeed a Spirit Treasure of the path of slaughter. As Fang Longye swallowed it into his body and operated the secret technique to smelt it, this Innate origin naturally rose up to resist.

A stern killing intent immediately emerged from this divine radiance—fierce, destructive, and dazzling.

Fang Longye's entire person could not help but reveal his original form, with layers of cracks appearing all over his body, which directly shattered into pieces on the ground.

The brilliant killing intent condensed into frost-white, pouring out from the flesh that had shattered all over the ground, shooting in all directions.

A fierce and malevolent Aura circled the flesh of Fang Longye, which had already shattered into small pieces, condensing and not dispersing.

Wisps of sharpness derived from the void, like blade Qi, like sword Qi... swimming around like fish, unsupported in the void, continuously cutting and slicing Fang Longye's dragon body, annihilating all vitality.

The dragon body shattered more and more; in the end, there was no trace of Fang Longye left in the surroundings, and even the flesh and blood were barely visible.

Only in the void, Fang Longye's Aura, which had condensed and not dispersed, indicated that he still existed in the world.

Suddenly, a dragon roar sounded, and a fountain of blood emerged from the spot, suddenly rushing upward, condensing to more than three feet.

Ding-dong, ding-dong—

The blood fountain splashed, condensing into beads of jade, dripping downward, shining brilliantly.

Every drop of blood was tightly entangled with the killing intent revealed by that Innate origin, forming Golden Flowers and jade pistils, blooming one after another.

Like a canopy of pearls and jade, colors floated and sank.

After a long time.

A sound of divine music was pleasant to the ear, like the sound of water and stones clashing.

One could see that above the blood fountain, fortune surged like a tide, rolling in, forming a dense green Qi, merging into the purple-green Qi pillar at the very center, forming a canopy.

All around, fish-dragon treasure lotuses, phoenixes and immortal fungi, bells, drums, and Dharma conchs... all kinds of strange phenomena appeared, which was truly extraordinary.

The blood fountain chimed, continuous and unending, revealing a kind of hurried joy.

It was as if winter had passed and spring had come, the ice and snow had melted, and lush vitality was sprouting.

The blood fountain jumped and leaped more and more, rising to nine feet.

The strange phenomena receded, leaving only a blood fountain of about a zhang in height, constantly surging, full of vitality, and lively.

Dong, dong, dong—

The sound of drums echoed, like thunder after the Awakening of Insects, revealing the hope of gestation.

Boom! Following the final sound, a divine tone resonated, as if the divine sound of the universe's creation, intoxicating to all who heard it.

The blood spring collapsed and scattered, transforming into a sky full of halos.

With a dragon's roar, a dragon head as massive as a mountain peak probed out from within the halos, and in the end, a dragon body tens of thousands of feet long appeared, leaping and soaring above the sea of clouds.

Then, with a shake of his body, he revealed the form of Fang Longye.

"A great harvest indeed!" Fang Longye descended on the clouds and landed on an ancient cypress tree, his robes fluttering, looking indescribably handsome and elegant.

"There is just one thing I didn't anticipate; this Zhanxian Gourd is truly too ferocious. Even just a single strand of its origin nearly cost me my life."

Recalling the perils during the smelting process just now, even though Fang Longye had already faced Life and Death crises several times, he still felt terrified.

If not for the Blood Rebirth ability, which had greatly improved following his attainment of the Golden Immortal realm, coupled with the Creation Purifying World Bead providing infinite vitality, and finally the secret assistance of Lu Ya,

he feared his little life would not have been preserved! Thinking of this, Fang Longye bowed toward the void to express his gratitude.

The void gave no response, but he did not mind at all.

Expressing his intent was enough~
