Chapter 157 Fragments of Innate Spiritual Treasures
The innate origins of these two Great Luo Golden Immortals had mostly returned to heaven and earth. Only some, deeply entangled with the chaotic evil energy, remained, disliked by the Heavenly Dao.
Chaotic evil energy is the most malevolent thing in heaven and earth. These remaining innate origins, entangled with it, had become extremely poisonous. Even if ordinary people obtained them, they could not use them.
But the World Tree was different. As a chaotic spiritual root, it could absorb all energy derived from chaos as nourishment for its own growth, including chaotic evil energy.
Sensing the power of the innate origins, the World Tree eagerly extended a root, taking root in the center of the origin, and began to absorb it frantically.
"The Primordial World is still too dangerous. Even Great Luo Golden Immortals cannot protect themselves. They are said to be immortal, but there are too many ways to prevent them from returning!"
Through the innate origins, Feng Zichen's gaze pierced through layers of illusion, arriving at a desolate place.
There, two radiant true spirits were tightly entangled, fiercely battling endlessly, as if they would fight until the primordial world was annihilated, perishing along with it.
These two true spirits were two Great Luo Golden Immortals who had fallen to this place. Their consciousness had long since vanished; their current struggle was driven and propelled by the instinct to destroy their opponent.
For a Great Luo Golden Immortal to return, they needed to continuously accumulate power in slumber, waiting for it to reach a certain level, transcending the boundary of life and death, and returning to the primordial world.
However, these two true spirits had been locked in combat since ancient times, constantly depleting their own power, without accumulating even a trace of strength. How could they possibly return?
If this continued, it seemed these two Great Luo Golden Immortals would never return.
…
"I wonder if the companion spiritual treasures of these innate gods and demons are still there?"
Coming back to his senses, looking at the ever-decreasing innate essence, Feng Zichen's heart stirred, and other thoughts arose.
As the most ancient innate gods and demons, they must have possessed innate spiritual treasures of considerable rank. Now, they may never return, and it's a pity these treasures remain here. Perhaps
It would be better to bring them back to the human race, enriching their heritage.
With this thought, Feng Zichen released his divine sense, scanning the surroundings to search for any traces of innate spiritual treasures. After a moment, he withdrew his divine sense empty-handed.
However, he wasn't disappointed. Spiritual treasures are personal possessions; even if their owners perish, they remain by their side. Searching the vicinity with his divine sense was merely a precaution to avoid overlooking anything.
In the blink of an eye, several years passed, and all the innate essence of this place was absorbed by the World Tree.
Perhaps Feng Zichen's previous warning had taken effect; before returning to the Chaos Pearl, the World Tree actually spat out a stream of world essence towards him, no longer displaying its previous stingy attitude.
"It seems my warning was effective!" Shaking his head, Feng Zichen chuckled.
Ignoring the World Tree, Feng Zichen strode forward.
Ahead, where the original innate source had been, two hazy orbs of light appeared after the World Tree absorbed it, each surrounded by innate aura—undoubtedly innate spiritual treasures.
These were Feng Zichen's targets!
Reaching them, he waved his sleeve, shattering the two orbs of light to reveal the innate spiritual treasures within. However, what he saw was completely different from what he had expected.
"Hmm?"
"How could this be?"
Staring at the fragments of the innate spiritual treasures before him, Feng Zichen was speechless.
It was true that the light contained innate spiritual treasures, but they were shattered, and shattered so badly that their original appearance was unrecognizable.
One of the two innate spiritual treasures was broken into nine pieces, resembling dazzling white jade; the other was in even worse shape, with only a wisp of innate, indestructible spiritual light remaining, its original form completely gone.
"Sigh! Something is better than nothing. Let's see if we can repair them!" With a sigh, Feng Zichen casually picked up the nine pieces of white jade and began piecing them together.
The original appearance of this innate spiritual treasure was completely unrecognizable, but judging from the innate Daoist aura emanating from it, it seemed capable of illuminating everything, likely related to the Dao of Light.
Several days later, Feng Zichen reluctantly put away the nine pieces of white jade, abandoning the idea of repairing it.
According to his calculations, this innate spiritual treasure should have been broken into twelve pieces, but only nine were found here, clearly lost in the great battle.
Moreover, the innate undying spiritual light of this innate spiritual treasure is severely damaged, less than one-tenth of its peak strength.
Relying on it to repair itself would likely mean waiting until the end of the primordial era before it could return to its full glory.
If a new innate spiritual treasure were to be forged using these nine pieces of white jade as a base, its highest grade would only be a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure. Before it was broken, this innate spiritual treasure was a top-grade one.
"I'll put it away for now and deal with it later. If it truly cannot be repaired, I'll use it to forge a new innate spiritual treasure."
Ultimately unable to resist the temptation of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, Feng Zichen decided to wait and see if he could find the remaining three fragments.
Even if he couldn't repair it, finding the remaining three fragments and reforging a magic weapon would significantly increase its power.
With another wave of his hand, Feng Zichen took another innate spiritual treasure in his hand—a small fragment of innate undying spiritual light, within which dark laws faintly emerged, radiating an aura completely opposite to the other innate spiritual treasure.
"No wonder they fought so fiercely; they were inherently incompatible!" Feng Zichen suddenly realized.
One represented light, the other darkness; their positions were fundamentally different, and with their innate antagonism, how could they not fight to the death?
"This innate spiritual treasure is quite convenient; it's beyond repair. I can only find materials to forge a new one." Putting away the innate spiritual treasure, Feng Zichen smiled.
The treasure's body was completely shattered; even its innate undying spiritual light was reduced to a small fragment. There was no other way to restore it except to let it heal itself.
But with so much time passing, Feng Zichen couldn't afford to wait. It was better to find suitable materials and forge a new innate spiritual treasure.
"Tsk tsk! This battle was truly brutal." Glancing at the battlefield again, Feng Zichen sighed.
Two Great Luo Golden Immortals perished together; even their respective innate spiritual treasures were shattered into pieces, demonstrating the ferocity of the battle.
Bowing to the scene, Feng Zichen turned and hurried away. He wasn't the only one who had come to the ancient ruins. If he lingered any longer, the opportunity might slip away to someone else.
Feng Zichen didn't know the exact size of the ruins, but he was certain it was far from small.
Even if experts were scarce in the ancient era, there were still at least over a hundred Grand Luo Golden Immortals from both sides combined.
And how could this place, capable of accommodating so many Grand Luo Golden Immortals in a chaotic battle, be small?
The whole 6 chapters are over, 2 yesterday and 4 today.
Now it is the last 2 for an apology.
