Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The Azure Dragon coiled on the ancient tree's main trunk, its dragon head lowered.

Its amber dragon eyes quietly watched Xu Zhangqing.

If nothing unexpected happened, it was calling out to him.

Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing's mind was suddenly shaken.

The Creation Heavenly Scripture within him automatically began to operate at that very instant.

It was not he who actively activated it, but the Creation Heavenly Scripture itself moved.

Violent surges rose in the depths of his divine soul, as if something were awakening.

At the same time, Xu Zhangqing's brow began to heat up.

Divine soul fluctuations spread outward like tides, resonating with the spiritual light mist in this illusory space.

A hint of satisfaction flashed through the Azure Dragon's dragon eyes.

The next second, it moved.

Its huge dragon body slowly slid down from the ancient tree, its dragon tail hanging down onto the light film, sending out ripples.

The dragon head drew close to Xu Zhangqing; in its amber dragon eyes, the ancient tree phantom slowly rotated, and thick creation power spread out.

Then, it took something from the ancient tree's phantom.

To be precise, a crack split open in the ancient tree's trunk, and from that crack, an object burning with golden flames floated out.

It was a tripod furnace.

Three zhang tall, with three legs and two ears.

Its entire body was cast from a material that was neither gold nor jade, yet seemed both gold and jade.

Patterns of the sun, moon, and stars were engraved on the tripod body—not mere patterns, but the true sun, moon, and stars flowing across its surface.

The sun burned, the moon waxed and waned, the stars appeared and vanished; a microcosm of one universe evolved endlessly on the tripod furnace.

The tripod lid was a spread-winged phoenix, its phoenix head held high, its twin wings embracing the tripod body, every feather flowing with red-gold divine light.

The tripod feet were three crouching qilin, each qilin mouth holding a law mark, respectively the seals of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

The tripod ears were two coiling Ying Dragons.

Their dragon heads faced the phoenix on the tripod lid, forming the image of two dragons facing the phoenix.

As soon as this tripod furnace appeared, the entire illusory space began to tremble.

The phantom mountains, phantom rivers, and phantom forests all tilted toward the tripod furnace, as if all things were worshipping it.

Golden flames overflowed from the seams of the tripod lid; every trace of flame that fell to the ground transformed into a blooming golden lotus.

Merely looking at the patterns on the tripod furnace, Xu Zhangqing felt his divine soul as if it would be sucked in.

This was an existence older than the sun and moon.

A law power more profound than the stars.

As if this tripod furnace itself was the origin of a universe.

Just as he was shaken, something even more unbelievable happened.

The Creation Brush flew out from his storage ring.

The Creation Seal emerged from his Qi Sea.

The Creation Pearl manifested between his brows.

The Creation Ruler came from the void.

The Creation Mirror brightened within his divine soul.

The five Supreme Treasures of Creation activated, surrounding the tripod furnace, and began to rotate.

Each emitted a low humming, as if producing a strong resonance.

Then, the five Supreme Treasures of Creation exerted force simultaneously.

Their light gathered into a five-colored light pillar, enveloping the tripod furnace, peeling it bit by bit from the ancient tree's phantom.

Every bit peeled away, the illusory space trembled once.

Every bit peeled away, the ancient tree's phantom faded by a bit.

Xu Zhangqing was dumbfounded.

These things were actually acting on their own?

At this moment, the Azure Dragon's voice rang out, ancient and distant, carrying a vicissitude that had penetrated ten thousand ages: "The Heaven and Earth Furnace of the Lord of Creation has finally waited for you."

"Heaven and Earth Furnace?"

Xu Zhangqing looked up at the Azure Dragon, his voice somewhat hoarse: "Senior... what exactly is this...?"

The Azure Dragon's dragon head tilted slightly upward; a complex expression flashed in its dragon eyes—reminiscence, emotion, relief, and a hint of barely perceptible weariness: "This Heaven and Earth Furnace is a domain-suppressing treasure left by the Lord of Creation in the Four Directions Star Domain."

Its dragon whiskers slowly brushed: "The Four Divine Beasts and the Great Dao Venerables signed a contract, guarding the Four Directions Star Domain for tens of thousands of years; among them, the most important responsibility was to guard this object."

The Azure Dragon lowered its head, its amber dragon eyes meeting Xu Zhangqing's: "The Lord of Creation left a final command: the Heaven and Earth Furnace must be taken by one who possesses the five Supreme Treasures of Creation."

Xu Zhangqing suddenly understood: "So that's how it is."

This could explain why the other party had glanced at him during the day.

Presumably because they sensed the aura of the Creation Dao.

At this moment, a hint of relieved ease entered the Azure Dragon's tone: "After waiting tens of thousands of years, I have finally waited for you."

Xu Zhangqing watched the Heaven and Earth Furnace spinning before him, but his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

The route had been arranged in advance.

Three supply lines: Star Spirit Grass traveled through Qinglong Donglu, passing through the Four Directions Star Domain; all of this had been decided before departure.

And just as he arrived at Qinglong Star, the Dragon awakened, glancing at him from within the crowd.

This was no coincidence; it was more like a confirmation.

Adding to that was the earlier line, "I have waited tens of thousands of years, and finally waited for you"—clearly waiting for someone carrying five Supreme Treasures of Creation to come knocking.

The question was, who would carry five?

Only Xu Zhangqing, who had taken Water God Hong as Teacher and received a bestowal!

Therefore, this was absolutely not a coincidence.

Water God Hong arranged for Xu Zhangqing to follow Star Spirit Grass along the third logistics line; he must have foreseen all of this.

Or rather, this was itself one link in the layout.

He let Xu Zhangqing pass through Qinglong Star, let the Dragon sense the Supreme Treasures of Creation on his person, then draw him into this illusory space, and naturally obtain the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

As for what to do after obtaining the Heaven and Earth Furnace, it was still unknown for now.

But since Water God Hong had laid this game, there must be a place where this tripod furnace would be useful.

Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Teacher, Teacher, just how large is your chessboard?"

The tripod furnace was real.

The Dragon waiting tens of thousands of years was real.

The resonance of the Supreme Treasures of Creation was also real.

No matter how many schemes lay behind it, at least the benefit before his eyes existed.

The Dragon seemed to see through his thoughts, but said nothing more.

It suddenly raised its right front claw, and a ball of green light brightened at its fingertip.

That radiance was pure to the extreme—not ordinary Wood Spirit Qi, but Creation Power containing the Dragon's origin.

Moreover, it gave Xu Zhangqing no time to react at all; that green light fell straight down and was fiercely poured in.

Boom!

The Six-Colored Lotus suddenly trembled, and its six petals simultaneously bloomed with dazzling radiance.

The seventh petal, originally a chaos-colored petal always in an illusory state, trembled violently under the infusion of the Dragon's power.

The edge of the illusory shadow was no longer blurred, but solidified bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After an incense stick, the seventh petal was completely formed.

At the same instant, a surging spiritual power gushed out from the Seven-Colored Lotus, sweeping through his entire body.

Under the impact of this power, Xu Zhangqing's mid-stage Spirit Transformation shackles were forcibly broken open; his cultivation surged like a bursting flood, directly rushing into late-stage Spirit Transformation.

His meridians widened by nearly double, and his mana even more explosively rose to a brand new cultivation tier!
