Chapter 260: Refining

Within the Creation Divine Pool, the Creation Power surged and churned; one monster carcass after another dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye, transforming into Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid.

Chen Mo took several more Monster Cores from his Storage Ring; these Monster Cores were likewise extraordinary, containing profound creation within.

These Monster Cores were all obtained from monsters he had previously slain in the Return Ruins, totaling forty-three in all.

Among them, six were from Innate Realm monsters, five from Supernatural Power Realm monsters, and the rest were all from Heavenly Human Realm monsters.

He kept all the Monster Cores from the Innate and Supernatural Power Realm monsters; the Innate Realm Monster Cores were of little value to him personally, but he could give them to Zhao Yu.

Whether she sold them to exchange for other cultivation resources or hired someone to refine them into pills, they would be of great help to her.

As for the Supernatural Power Realm Monster Cores, they not only contained the monsters' bloodline power but also the power of Heavenly Law.

Monsters also cultivate Heavenly Law, though their cultivation method differs from that of the Human Race.

They use the bloodline power within their bodies to resonate with heaven and earth, imitating the forms of their ancestors to utilize Heavenly Law.

The flaw in this method is quite obvious: they can never surpass the ancestor of their own bloodline.

By undergoing a few more Mortal Transformations himself, his strength would advance further, and his cultivation would become easier.

The quantity of these natural treasures was not large, totaling only a little over two thousand points of Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid.

Switching cultivation methods carries certain risks for the Human Race, as human energy is limited and lifespans are finite.

In the current era, facing the Mirage Sea crisis, no monster race can achieve this step, so the drawbacks of this cultivation method are effectively non-existent.

Although Hei Xie can currently only rely on excavating what was left by predecessors, as time passes, the other world will eventually be able to cultivate a large number of natural treasures.

But the advantage is that there is no difficulty in getting started; as long as a monster can achieve Spirit Awakening, it can follow its instincts to master this method.

She was naturally somewhat bewildered and vigilant about her surroundings, but upon seeing Chen Mo, she no longer hesitated and hurriedly bowed down.

But even when cultivating by utilizing bloodline power, these Monster Cores still contain a significant amount of Heavenly Law.

Chen Mo has achieved sanctity through his physical body and already carries countless Heavenly Laws within him; with the power of his physical body, he can carry a strand of Heavenly Law more easily than other Martial Artists.

In the ancient era, those monster clans with better natural talent would first rely on bloodline power to open the door to cultivation, and only after having a certain ability to protect themselves would they consider switching to other methods.

He could use this authority to confer godhood, and the target was naturally Hei Xie.

Moreover, the lifespan of the monster race is generally worse than that of the Human Race; even if their cultivation speed is slower, they can often successfully switch methods, it just takes a longer time.

If nothing else, his physical body is formidable and contains thousands of Heavenly Laws; when he breaks through to the In-Charge Realm, it will surely be of great help.

That is an entire world, and the natural treasures it cultivates can provide a continuous supply.

Of course, most of them are still obtained by excavating and exploring the Dongtian Fudi of the New World, or from sealed secret realms.

Firstly, the other party's work has been quite good, without any slip-ups or problems, and secondly, her cultivation level is sufficient.

In the In-Charge Realm, a Martial Artist must carry Heavenly Law with their own power.

"My Lord." Hei Xie had originally been in seclusion in the Godly Palace, but at this moment, in a trance, she was suddenly dragged into a new world.

Furthermore, only she can accept the will of Chen Mo, this deity, so she holds a high status in the New World.

She went to the New World carrying Chen Mo's intentions, and she is very strong—her power is absolutely overwhelming.

This number is quite significant; after all, whether it is those monster carcasses or the Monster Cores, their value can be said to be quite high.

This is not something anyone can do; even with a foundation from previous cultivation, achieving this step remains extremely difficult.

As for problems that might be encountered in the future, those can be considered later; surviving now is what matters most.

A Monster Core of this grade is already sufficient to recharge the Transformation Pearl.

After finishing this, Chen Mo communicated with the Divine Kingdom with his mind; during this time, Hei Xie had also sent him many natural treasures.

At the same time, he summoned Hei Xie into his own Divine Kingdom; the Subordinate God Authority he had previously condensed was now fully constructed.

Greed for too much leads to poor digestion; switching methods midway will only result in mediocre skills.

Chen Mo carefully sensed the Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid in the Creation Divine Pool increasing continuously; from less than a thousand points originally, it reached over twenty-two thousand points in just a short moment.

But this is a long-term harvest; cultivating natural treasures is not a task that can be accomplished in a day.

Martial Artists of the Heavenly Human Realm are not so easy to find; only by conferring godhood upon her can she exert the power of the authority to its limit.

After all, compared to the drawbacks of cultivating via bloodline power, it is nothing in this era.

The amount converted into Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid is, of course, not small.

And in this current era, no monster race switches methods midway anymore, because no monster race can recreate the glory of their ancestors.

After collecting these natural treasures, Chen Mo began to bestow divine miracles as usual.

Only a small portion are natural treasures cultivated after the Mirage Sea was expelled.

Achieving sanctity through the physical body is an extremely profound realm; although Chen Mo has only just begun to achieve it, it is of great help to both his combat power and his future cultivation.

Accumulated over time, the number will surely be quite considerable.

This point alone almost guarantees that as long as no accidents occur, Chen Mo will definitely be able to reach the In-Charge Realm.

As the Monster Cores and monster carcasses were thrown into it, the Creation Power continued to evolve, turning them into Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid.

Cultivation is limited by the ancestor's bloodline, provided that one's cultivation first reaches a level close to that of the ancestor.

After conferring godhood, she can master a portion of the Heavenly Authority, and many things can be left for her to do on his behalf, so he no longer needs to worry.

But she also understands that she can have such an opportunity entirely because of Chen Mo's promotion.

Moreover, having fused with Divine Nature, her life and death are completely under Chen Mo's control.

In addition, once Divine Nature is fused, the one who fuses with it will inevitably develop faith in Chen Mo through subtle influence.

Although Hei Xie's strength means she would not be affected by this if she were careful.

But as long as she does not actively resist, as time passes, her faith in Chen Mo will certainly be born.

"You have done well during this time." Chen Mo stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Hei Xie with appreciation in his eyes.

"Working for you, My Lord, is this subordinate's honor!" Hei Xie replied loudly with a respectful expression.

Chen Mo smiled and tapped his finger lightly in the boundless void.

The Divine Kingdom was opened by him, and everything within it is under his control.

Unless a powerhouse with strength greater than the entire Divine Kingdom arrives, no person or object within this Divine Kingdom is beyond his control.

A palm-sized, mysterious cyan landscape stone appeared, containing a pool of water within it.

The water was clear and cold, continuously radiating a sense of coolness.

"This is the Water Control Authority. By merging with this authority, you can initially control all the waters of the world within this realm." Chen Mo gave a light wave, sending the authority before Heixie.

What he said was not wrong; at present, he was the only god in this world.

His Divine Kingdom had a very high degree of compatibility with the Heaven and Earth Authority, so even if it were only a Subordinate God position, it could still control the world's water veins to a certain extent.

By regulating water veins, one could nourish all things and also resolve the disasters of flooding.

Moreover, merging with this authority to control all the waters of the world would also greatly enhance the Martial Artist's own strength.

But it was only an improvement in strength; it would be of no help to their cultivation realm.

Authority is like a key; obtaining this key allows one to open the gates of Heaven and Earth and squander the Heaven and Earth Power.

But to truly comprehend and utilize the Heaven and Earth Power, the Martial Artist must still comprehend it themselves.

"Thank you, My Lord!" Heixie said with excitement, hurriedly performing a full prostration.

"Rise." Chen Mo spoke slowly, his words carrying the power of law, and Heixie was lifted directly by a force.

That authority also followed suit, merging into her body.

Merging with the authority was not difficult at all, especially since Heixie already possessed Divine Nature.

At most, it would take three to five days for her to fully merge with it.

Chen Mo waved his hand again to open a Space Gate and sent her away.

He himself did not stay long in the Divine Kingdom and returned to the Heavenly Court Secret Realm.

Sitting cross-legged in the Main Hall, Chen Mo took out the remaining Demon Pills of the Great Ability-level demons.

Without much hesitation, he swallowed them directly; the Demon Pills contained boundless, violent power.

Each Demon Pill was the condensation of the entire demonic power of a Great Ability-level demon.

However, in front of Chen Mo, who was now at the True One realm, this demonic power was truly not worth mentioning.

Guiding this power, he sent it all into the Transformation Pearl, and the energy contained within the Transformation Pearl rose steadily.

The Demon Pills were not exhausted; it took only four for the Transformation Pearl to be fully charged.

The remaining one was temporarily put away by Chen Mo, to be saved for next time.

Next time he charged the Transformation Pearl, he planned to use the power of the dragon scales or the blue-gray stone Mirage Spirit.

The Transformation Pearl was fully charged, but it was not needed for the moment; only when he broke through his own realm could its marvelous uses be unleashed.

Once the charging was finished, Chen Mo took out the weapons he had previously obtained in the Fengdu secret land.

These two supreme treasures had been suppressed in the Return Ruins; although they were now brought into the normal world, it would still take some effort to restore their power.

The Ten Thousand Sword Gourd was in good condition without much wear, and he only needed to refine it himself.

As for this Karma Fire Compass, he would have to spend some careful effort before it could be used.

Chen Mo pondered for a moment and decisively chose to refine the Ten Thousand Sword Gourd first.

Within the Heavenly Court Secret Realm, boundless Heaven and Earth Qi was gathered by him and poured into the gourd.

Refining this object did not require going to the outside world; the Heavenly Court Secret Realm was sufficient.

As the myriad Heaven and Earth Qi converged, countless Sword Pellets within the Ten Thousand Sword Gourd emitted crisp vibrations.

Chen Mo revealed the gourd and moved his mind; a sky full of sword rain fell instantly.

Countless Flying Swords condensed and changed in the void, at times turning into a Sword Dragon, at times forming a Taiji Sword Array.

A sky full of killing intent radiated, and even Chen Mo, the master of these weapons, could feel a desolate chill.

This was only the initial refinement; the marvelous uses of the Ten Thousand Sword Gourd did not stop there.

The sword array could kill and trap enemies, and condensing into a Sword Dragon could help a Martial Artist soar into the clouds, quickly tracking enemies or escaping.

When killing, maneuvering the Sword Dragon could combine the mysteries of both attacking enemies and protecting oneself.

The grade of such a supreme treasure was naturally not low; although it was not among the rare treasures of Heaven and Earth, it was a ninth-grade magic treasure.

A magic treasure of this grade was considered quite rare even in the Ancient Heaven and Earth period, representing the pinnacle of the Dao of artifacts.

After carefully sensing the marvelous uses of the Ten Thousand Sword Gourd, Chen Mo put all the Sword Pellets away one by one.

And this gourd was sent directly into his own Small World to be nurtured with Heaven and Earth True Gang.

In this way, the Ten Thousand Sword Gourd could also evolve into a Yin-Yang Sword Dragon and a Taiji Sword Array.

Both of these combined the mysteries of Yin and Yang, and the power of this treasure would rise to a higher level.

Putting away the Ten Thousand Sword Gourd, he sank his mind into his own Small World and mobilized the Yin-Yang True Gang to nurture it.

Only then did Chen Mo take out the Karma Fire Compass; this treasure could condense Red Lotus Karmic Fire, but it had been suppressed for a long time in the Return Ruins.

Its power had diminished like the Deceiving Heaven and Earth Hammer he had obtained earlier; not only that, it was worn down even more severely.

The Deceiving Heaven and Earth Hammer had only lacked power, and its internal spirituality had begun to gradually collapse and dissipate.

As long as its power was replenished, it could be used normally; as for whether its spirituality could be restored, that would require a long time of nurturing.

This treasure was different; its internal spirituality had completely dissipated, and even its external form was worn down.

To completely restore its mysteries, one not only had to replenish it with a large amount of Heaven and Earth Qi but also nurture it for a long time with the mysteries of one's own Yin-Yang True Gang.

Only then could it completely restore its former glory; before that, its power would be discounted.

But even so, this was already a rare and mysterious treasure; being able to trigger the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, such a rare fire of Heaven and Earth, was not something just any object could do.

Red Lotus Karmic Fire burns away all karmic force in the world; it could be said to be a fire close to the level of rules.

Any living creature within this world is restricted by it; even Mirage Spirits, as long as they have karmic force, will be burned by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

And once the fire starts burning, it will only dissipate when the one being burned dies or the karmic force is completely consumed.

Most importantly, this process is not restricted by any level of strength; unless one is a Heavenly Supreme, even a top-tier Great Ability, if they are tainted by it, they can only endure it.

Chen Mo leaped, exiting the Heavenly Court Secret Realm and arriving within the outside world.

He took out the Karma Fire Compass; without needing any deliberate guidance, it had already begun to absorb Heaven and Earth Power on its own to restore itself.

However, because its form was damaged, its might was far inferior to the Deceiving Heaven and Earth Hammer, only affecting the Heaven and Earth Qi within a radius of several tens of thousands of li.

Yet this was enough to attract attention, and experts continuously cast their gazes here to investigate.

Chen Mo did not conceal himself, but he did conceal the Karma Fire Compass.

Upon discovering it was him, the many experts withdrew their gazes one after another and no longer came to pry.

As for Bai Yuxia and Shui Qianqiu, although they also sensed this aura, once they confirmed it was Chen Mo who had triggered it, they paid it no further attention.

The master of the Blood Sea was the same, though he was clear that Chen Mo must be refining the treasure he had previously obtained.

Chen Mo did not use his own power, merely letting the Compass absorb the Heaven and Earth Power on its own.

If he were to take action, the speed of the Compass's recovery would certainly be faster, but it would also expose his own strength.

His strength could be exposed to all living beings within this world, but it could not be allowed to attract the attention of the beings of the Mirage Sea.

Yet even so, there was someone who sensed Chen Mo's improvement.

This person was Fengdu Niangniang; she had sensed long ago that an expert within the world had broken through to the True One Realm, and as a result, the restrictions of the Netherworld were further lifted, causing her strength to rise accordingly.

As for who had broken through, there was naturally not much room for choice; it was either the master of the Blood Sea or Chen Mo.

As for the experts of the Xuantian World, they were only temporarily connected to the Cangxuan World at present.

The Netherworld of the Cangxuan World was still restricted by the laws of the Cangxuan World, not by any other laws.

Therefore, even if people like Bai Yuxia broke through in cultivation, the restrictions of the Cangxuan World's Netherworld would not be opened.

"Little sister, go and invite Chen Mo to the Netherworld; I have important matters to discuss with him," Fengdu Niangniang thought to herself, then decisively sent a voice transmission.

"Understood, but elder sister, what exactly is the matter that requires specifically asking him to come?" The master of the Blood Sea had been cultivating, but replied immediately after receiving the message.

"Do not ask too much about this matter; you are not yet meant to know. Just go and invite him," Fengdu Niangniang said, offering no further explanation.

"Very well," the master of the Blood Sea replied in a deep voice, and immediately set off to find Chen Mo.
