Chapter 350: The Ability of the Reborn Seeking Wood: The Birth of the
"Innate Seeking Wood!"
Accompanied by this Seeking Wood successfully reversing to Innate, it resonated with the Primordial World in the dark, and with a thunderous boom, auspicious clouds and colorful mists piled up like brocade.
Countless purple and cyan lights descended from the void, vast and mighty, filling everything.
Seeing this, Fang Longye could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Damn it, both are reversing to Innate, why was there no such spectacle when Laozi reversed to Innate, but instead, a Calamity descended upon him? But he saw the purple and cyan mist filling the sky, shrinking, and falling entirely onto his Companion Spiritual Root.
For a time, the fortune manifested by this Spiritual Root in the void above became even more magnificent, a sea of purple and cyan, deep and profound, with no bottom in sight.
Furthermore, wisps of world merit fell upon the Spiritual Root, a brilliant golden radiance.
Only the sound of Heavenly music could be heard, fragrant and lingering, while Godly Wheels of various sizes came from the void, descending and scattering from above.
Immediately after, the sound of Heavenly bells and jade drums blared, resounding in all directions, and the Godly Wheels spread out, turning into auspicious colors like dragons, whistling through the purple and cyan...
At this moment, the place where the Seeking Wood stood was filled with golden fire like rainbows, dragons and tigers coiling above, and the sun and moon blooming with bright colors.
The entire space was filled with an indescribable fragrance; one breath, and one felt refreshed.
"Tsk tsk!"
Fang Longye was truly envious, even though it was his own Companion Spiritual Root that brought all this about.
Why is it that when you reverse to Innate, you can be free of disasters and Calamities? And even have the Primordial World celebrate for you?
Of course,
Complaining is complaining, but to say he still didn't understand the reason by now would be nonsense~
Although he hadn't paid attention to this aspect before, nor had he consulted relevant classics, he quickly understood the reason in his heart.
To put it bluntly, Innate living beings and Innate Spiritual Roots are two different things and cannot be lumped together.
Although as long as a living being reverses to Innate and passes through various Calamities, they will also gain the favor of the world, but in the end, it is not comparable to the role of an Innate Spiritual Root for the world.
As long as an Innate Spiritual Root has not awakened its intelligence and become a living being with self-will, it is naturally the best tool to assist the evolution of the world.
Even if it is now an era where Post-Heaven beings flourish, the world will not refuse to have one more such instrument.
It is too late to welcome it; how could it descend various Calamities like it does against Post-Heaven living beings reversing to Innate~...
Boom~ While he was thinking, the feedback after the Companion Spiritual Root reversed to Innate finally arrived as promised.
A stream of Innate origin, rich to the extreme, surged along the connection between the two like a great river, entering directly into Fang Longye's true body.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle~ Fang Longye's true body, like parched earth meeting sweet rain, made a swallowing sound; regardless of Bloodline, origin,... and so on, all were undergoing subtle changes~ At the same time,
Following the reversal to Innate, the Spiritual Root, which was only three zhang in size, suddenly soared, growing rapidly to its original size at an unimaginably exaggerated speed.
Its top touched the clouds and sky, its shade hanging over the four poles.
Just as before, it connected heaven and earth.
Countless branches and leaves extended in all directions, the branches stretching for who knows how many ten thousand miles, the huge canopy blocking the sky and sun rising step by step, straight into the depths of the starry sky.
Countless roots also extended in all directions, reaching deep into every part of the void, firmly rooted in Fang Longye's Inner World.
Branches, leaves, and roots spread in all directions, connecting worlds and spaces of all sizes,... and even new space bubbles were constantly being born, gestating and growing.
Not only that,
After supporting the sky and standing on the earth again, this transformed Innate Spiritual Root shook its roots and branches, pulling out those "high-end goods" that Fang Longye had stuffed into his Inner World, and plunged deep into them.
Assisting the Inner World in absorbing and transforming them~ These "high-end goods" that the Inner World still found difficult to digest, such as the fetal membrane fragments of the Great Thousand World, the remains of those above the Great Luo,...
And so on.
In front of this Companion Spiritual Root of Fang Longye's that had successfully reversed to Innate, they were no longer as unbreakable and difficult to digest as before.
Although it didn't look like they could be refined in a short time, compared to the previous speed, it was simply many times faster.
Especially that piece of the Great Thousand World's fetal membrane fragment, perhaps because it was inferior in essence to the others, it was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon,
A considerable number of Chaos air currents began to appear in the world, and the endless earth, fire, water, and wind seemed like boiling water, bursting out one bubble after another.
It was under the influence of this Innate Seeking Wood that these so-called "high-end goods" were bit by bit worn down and refined into the purest energy.
These Chaos air currents certainly could not be compared with the Chaos outside the Primordial World, but if they spread, it would be easy for Fang Longye's newly opened Inner World to fall into a Calamity of collapse.
However,
Before Fang Longye's Inner World could descend its power to deal with these Chaos air currents,
The branches of the Innate Seeking Wood arrived through the void~
Streams of indescribable chaotic mist surged into these Chaos air currents, and these Chaos air currents were instantly divided into two forces: Clear and Turbid.
The Clear Qi combined with the power of the Innate Seeking Wood to float upward, forming a stable barrier and spatial boundary.
The Turbid Qi fused with the power of earth, water, fire, and wind to begin sinking, becoming the earth in the newborn world.
Subsequently,
Between the Clear and Turbid Qi, the power of the Five Elements appeared again. A large amount of primordial energy condensed on the earth, forming mountains, rivers, plants, and spiritual vegetation,...
Before long, newborn worlds of various sizes appeared in Fang Longye's Inner World.
Some were Small Worlds, some were Small Thousand Worlds, each flashing with spiritual light, showing vibrant vitality...
"It was indeed worth the effort I spent!"
Fang Longye used his mind for two purposes; while digesting the creation fed back by his Companion Spiritual Root, he looked at everything before him and could not help but sigh.
The current Spiritual Root, although its name reflected in the Primordial World was still Innate Seeking Wood, was already completely different from the original Seeking Wood of the Primordial World~ Perhaps the appearance of the Spiritual Root had not changed much, but its inner essence was already worlds apart.
Connecting heaven and earth, opening up space, stabilizing the outer walls of the world, separating Clear and Turbid, deriving all things,... how many of these did the first-generation Seeking Wood possess? In essence, the Innate Seeking Wood in Fang Longye's hands was now a brand-new Innate Spiritual Root, except for sharing the same name as the first-generation one.
Compared to the first-generation Seeking Wood, perhaps there was still some distance in terms of Innate essence, after all, it was reversed from Post-Heaven, but in terms of function, it was far superior~
After sighing, Fang Longye moved his mind and arranged the newly appeared Small Worlds in the outer area of his Inner World, just like the thousands of Small Worlds before.
"Five Small Thousand Worlds~"
Fang Longye stared at the remaining five Small Thousand Worlds, thought for a moment, and separated two for each, merging them with the Heavenly Realm and Youming in his Inner World.
As for the remaining one—in order not to disrupt the structure of the Inner World, he had no choice but to shatter it once more, refining it into a force capable of creating all things, and scattering it in all directions.
The changes it caused were not significant.
After all, for the current Inner World, a Small Thousand World really did not amount to much.
Even though the Inner World had only just advanced from a Small Thousand World to a Middle Thousand World not long ago, who could blame it for having such deep foundations and such abundant creation?
Once re-derived, it was already not far from the level of perfection.
Were it not for the scene within the Inner World—that vast, primordial landscape as if at the beginning of the world's creation—and those "Innate Spirits" still in gestation being clearly visible, then judging solely by its origin and characteristics, the Inner World would not look at all like a newly advanced Middle Thousand World.
Boom— Suddenly, the heavens and earth roared, mysterious sounds echoed incessantly, and various strange phenomena appeared one after another, as beams of spiritual light shot into the sky, reflecting off one another.
Indeed, some things cannot withstand being talked about.
Perhaps it was the feedback brought to the Inner World by the "Heaven-Supporting Wood" successfully achieving Reverse Innate, or perhaps the timing was truly ripe—those "Innate Spirits" that had been gestating throughout the world finally reached the time for their birth.
Crack!
One could see the most essential part of the Clear Qi in the sky suddenly swirl, covered by five-colored clouds, with the stars of the heavens revolving around it; purple and cyan light surged magnificently, revealing a white dragon, its head held high, looking peerless and arrogant.
This white dragon shook its body and transformed into a man, appearing to be no more than a youth, handsome in appearance, with prominent horns and glowing golden eyes; a great halberd hung behind his back, shining with golden light, his momentum soaring to the heavens. At the same time, the deepest part of the Turbid Qi beneath the earth had transformed into black water, the source flowing steadily, filling without overflowing; after a moment, the water light rose in stages, then suddenly drooped, shaped like a blooming lotus, upon which a black dragon coiled, its dragon body winding, looking stern and majestic.
This black dragon likewise shook its body and transformed into human form, a woman with a slender figure, her dark hair like a waterfall, holding a Treasure Map in her hand; she had faint double pupils, her gaze deep and dark like water, mysterious and extraordinary.
The birth of these black and white dragons, one male and one female, completely raised the curtain on the birth of the "Innate Spirits" in Fang Longye's Inner World.
Living beings of a thousand forms were born one after another, some in human shape, some in the form of birds or beasts, some with the appearance of fish or dragons,... and so on, each different from the other.
Of course, the majority of these living beings were still of the scaled and armored clan related to the Dragon Clan, and some were directly in the form of flood dragons.
Moreover, regardless of their original form, even if they were not of the scaled and armored clan, they all more or less possessed Fang Longye's Yuanlong Bloodline—these myriad living beings were all so-called "Innate Spirits," born with extraordinary wisdom and possessing very powerful strength.
Among all the "Innate Spirits," it was naturally the two black and white divine dragons born first that had the deepest roots and the most profound cultivation.
These two black and white divine dragons, one in the sky and one on the earth, were already firmly at the True Immortal Realm.
And given the aptitude of these two beings, as well as the great fortune they inherited, stepping into the Golden Immortal Realm was only a matter of time.
Even reaching the state of Chonghua in the Honghu Realm previously would not require much effort.
A realm that commands respect within the perfection of the Golden Immortal Realm!
Think of Fang Longye; he had been smooth sailing all the way in his cultivation until now, but it was not without its trials, and his own creation was beyond what ordinary people could imagine; even so, it had taken him a great deal of effort to cultivate to the perfection of the Golden Immortal Realm.
Even Sun Wukong, the protagonist of the Journey to the West, was still a long way from the perfection of the Golden Immortal Realm.
Comparing it this way,
These two black and white divine dragons, having the cultivation of True Immortals the moment they were born, and being able to step into the Golden Immortal Realm just by taking a few steps, were truly enviable.
However, there are pros and cons.
The two black and white divine dragons before him might seem to have power beyond the reach of ordinary people the moment they were born, but in terms of prospects and limits, I fear that any Golden Immortal who has achieved the Dao in the Earth Immortal Realm is stronger than them.
For no other reason,
It is as the saying goes, "Success is due to Xiao He, and failure is also due to Xiao He."
As "Innate Spirits" gestated by Fang Longye's Inner World, these two black and white divine dragons naturally carried the imprint of Fang Longye's Inner World, filled to the bone with the "Yuanlong Dao."
Their upper limit did not lie in the outside universe, but in Fang Longye's Inner World before them.
Unless Fang Longye fell and the Inner World became ownerless, allowing the laws of the outside Honghuang Great Thousand World to permeate it and change the foundation of the world.
Only then would it be possible for them to wash away the imprint of the "Yuanlong Dao" on their bodies, no longer limited by the Inner World, and not have their upper limit be visible at a single glance.
Otherwise, even if Fang Longye's cultivation improved and the Inner World advanced to a Great Thousand World, they would still be limited by the Inner World and the "Yuanlong Dao."
Or rather,
Limited by Fang Longye, the creator god.
"It's alright—"
Fang Longye was noncommittal about this.
He did not value limits or prospects much, or rather, he did not care at all.
You must know, every time he advanced his Inner World, he had to re-derive the Inner World into Chaos before opening it up again.
Whether these two black and white divine dragons could survive until after his Inner World advanced to a Great Thousand World was still a question!
"I only hope that you can lead these so-called 'Innate Spirits' to unfold a brilliant great age before my Inner World advances again—"
Unlike the previous Small Thousand World stage,
It was hard enough for the Inner World to spontaneously give birth to intelligent beings, but before they had developed to a certain degree, the Inner World had already accumulated enough resources for advancement due to the Honghu Realm.
Under the re-derivation of Chaos, everything naturally perished.
Fortunately, the advancement from a Middle Thousand World to a Great Thousand World is a major threshold, not so easy to cross.
The living beings gestated in the Inner World this time have much more time than before.
Most crucially—
Fang Longye looked toward a mysterious space-time within the Inner World, his gaze deep, and muttered to himself: "Compared to before, you have an extra glimmer of life—"
One could see that in that mysterious space-time,
Thousands of red lights were swirling, wisps rising, shaped like a curved-handle canopy. Further up, it shone for a thousand feet, rolling and swaying, supporting a Treasure Map.
This Treasure Map did not look large, square in shape, hovering uncertainly in the red Qi.
One could vaguely see,
Within the Treasure Map, mysterious Qi rose incessantly, transforming into Godly Soil, spanning the heavens, condensing into a Cave Heaven Blessed Land; within the domain and outside the borders, palaces and towers stood, and anyone who encountered a Calamity could enter the Godly Soil through sincere worship to avoid the Calamity.
From time to time it swayed, containing a sense of innate stillness and immunity to Calamity.
"Fuli Creation Map!"
What is Fuli?
The true name of the Innate Divine Soil.
Floating in the vast void, magnificent and incomparable, transcendent beyond all things, and untouched by Tribulation, hence it is called Fuli.
The Fuli Creation, after countless Calamities, the Godly Soil remains forever; Fuli does not perish, and eternal life is in sight.
That is correct.
This Treasure Map is formed by the spiritual mechanisms and Dao principles possessed by the 'Fuli Divine Soil' that Fang Longye integrated into his Inner World, combined with other mysterious things.
The Honghu Realm possesses various so-called "Innate Treasures," and now that Fang Longye's Inner World is likewise a Middle Thousand World, it naturally does not fall behind.
And this Fuli Creation Map is one of the many "Innate Treasures" gestated after the Inner World was reopened.
Of course,
it naturally cannot compare to a true Innate Spiritual Treasure.
But by relying on the spiritual mechanisms and Dao principles possessed by the 'Fuli Divine Soil', it is sufficient to survive during the process of him re-deriving Chaos and reopening the world.
After all, the "Chaos" formed by the re-derivation of the Inner World is not true Chaos, and Fang Longye has not skimped on smelting Fuli Divine Soil into his Inner World over these years.
Otherwise, relying solely on that initial half-handful of Fuli Divine Soil, this Treasure Map could not have been evolved.
There are even a few grains of true Fuli Divine Soil faintly existing within this Treasure Map.
Therefore,
this Fuli Creation Map is sufficient to shelter the living beings within the Inner World and help them evade the world-ending Calamity.
Although it can only shelter a very small number of people.
Thus, Fang Longye said that compared to before, the living beings born in the Inner World this time have an extra glimmer of survival—one can only say that there are rules in the mysterious darkness.
This also fulfills the saying, "The Great Expansion is fifty, the Heavenly Derivation is forty-nine, and one escapes."
Since it conforms to the rules and does not hinder him in any way, Fang Longye naturally does not mind.
He will not be idle enough to snuff out this glimmer of survival.
