Chapter 25: Completion of Wood and Water Qi! Strength Skyrockets!

The vast and majestic spirit energy was forcibly poured into the Spirit Treasure, and bit by bit, he imprinted his mark on the Innate Restriction.

If it could be said that when he refined the Sea Calming Pearls, he carefully smeared his own Primordial Spirit brand on the Innate Restriction bit by bit, for fear of any damage…

Then at this moment, his treatment of the giant halberd was arbitrarily rubbing it with the Primordial Spirit and forcibly engraving his own brand on it.

Violent and brutal!

It didn’t matter whether the Innate Restriction was damaged or not; it would not affect the spirituality and power of the Spirit Treasure.

Soon, in just a few years, this Innate Low-grade Spirit Treasure was forcibly refined by Yuan Lian.

The Nether Halberd, a Low-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, contains the power of the Nine Abyss Underworld Fire, which can kill the soul and destroy the spirit.

Originally, there were eleven Innate Restrictions, but Yuan Lian forcibly obliterated one, leaving only ten.

“However, it’s better to be able to use it than not be able to use it.”

Yuan Lian played with it a few times in his hand.

It’s not too convenient; it feels far worse than the Sea Calming Pearls which make him feel comfortable.

But its special effect of slaying the soul may be able to play a miraculous effect at certain critical moments.

Putting away the Nether Halberd, Yuan Lian looked at the Five-Needle Pine not far away.

“Five-Needle Pine, Five-Needle Pine, this series of things is for you; don’t let me down!”

While muttering, Yuan Lian came under the Five-Needle Pine tree.

This time, its Dao Domain no longer hindered his footsteps, and Yuan Lian walked to the root of the tree easily.

“I want all fifty fruits! Now just give me the Wood and Water Spirit Fruits, and I’ll take the rest later.”

Putting his palm on the tree trunk, Yuan Lian conveyed his meaning.

“Rustle, rustle!”

Above the sky, the branches and leaves of the Five-Needle Pine swayed gently.

Then the branches lowered, and ten Wood Spirit Fruits and ten Water Spirit Fruits fell in front of Yuan Lian.

After saying thanks, Yuan Lian took them off without any hesitation, and then popped out ten drops of the Divine Water of Three Glories which flew into the trunk.

“This is for one Yuanhui. Each Yuanhui you will get ten drops. If it is delayed due to other reasons, then we will discuss it together at that time.”

After finishing speaking, Yuan Lian walked out of its Dao Domain.

“The Five-Needle Pine, also known as the Five-Element Pine; its fruit contains the Innate Qi of the Five Elements. Although it is not as good as the single Innate Essence, it is still a rare spiritual material.”

“This Primordial World is too dangerous. I hope this time the Innate Proto-Qi of Wood and the Innate Renshui Qi can all be perfected.”

Yuan Lian looked at the pile of spiritual fruits with fiery eyes. This time he almost died, but the harvest was also huge.

At least it can save him hundreds of Yuanhuis of accumulation and greatly enhance his strength.

“It’s just that in this fight, I also discovered my own weaknesses.”

“My defense is quite strong, as well as my ability to save my life, but I still need to work on my offensive means.”

“The only supernatural power is the World Purifying Aura; I lack other Great Annihilation Techniques or messy things like moving mountains and overturning seas.”

“I can fool people who are weaker than me a few times. If I meet someone who is stronger than me, I will be delivering food.”

“Void Escape is not suitable for fast running; the only treasure for attacking is the Sea Calming Pearls.”

“Alas! It’s so difficult; when will this bitter life end!”

Yuan Lian looked up to the sky and sighed.

“Come on, I have to work hard, improve my cultivation first, and then go to get the spirit power of the Spirit Treasure!”

After Yuan Lian finished speaking, he directly picked up a Wood Spirit Fruit and swallowed it.

BOOM!!

The spiritual fruit melted in his mouth and entered his abdomen along the throat.

In just an instant, a majestic and vast Innate Wood Qi erupted.

Yuan Lian immediately circulated the Innate Proto-Qi of Wood, refined it rapidly, and purified it little by little into his own Innate Proto-Qi of Wood.

Soon, as the essence of the spirit fruit dissipated, his Proto-Qi of Wood became more and more abundant, and his spirit energy was also increasing rapidly.

When the medicinal power of this spirit fruit was exhausted, Yuan Lian immediately took another one.

And so on and on.

Time flew; Yuan Lian didn’t know how many springs and autumns had passed.

When Yuan Lian finished digesting the ninth Wood Spirit Fruit, he, who had been sitting shaped like a sculpture, slowly opened his eyes.

“The Innate Proto-Qi of Wood is complete; it’s worth it!”

He tried his best to keep himself calm, but there was still uncontrollable joy in his words.

“Continue!”

After adjusting himself mentally, Yuan Lian picked up the Water Spirit Fruit and swallowed it in one gulp.

Cultivation is never boring, if you ignore the pain and risk.

Feeling one’s own transformation little by little, and feeling the self-evolution of life….

That feeling is more fascinating than anything else, making countless practitioners addicted to it and unable to extricate themselves.

Now Yuan Lian is experiencing this kind of happiness, completely immersed in it!

As every spirit fruit is refined, the Essence of Renshui in the body gradually accumulates and grows stronger.

Water grows Wood; the Essence of Renshui grows stronger, and even the Essence of the World Tree in his body is also strengthened little by little.

Consummation does not mean the end.

‘I don’t know how many times heat and cold have cycled.’

Yuan Lian stopped taking the spirit fruit.

“After only using seven Water Spirit Fruits, the Essence of Renshui is already complete!” Yuan Lian was a little surprised.

After the source essence is complete, it will be endlessly alive and slowly condense on its own.

Continuing to take the spiritual fruit is just icing on the cake; its effect is very limited, so it is better to leave it for other uses.

With this in mind, Yuan Lian put away the remaining four spiritual fruits.

“The spirit energy is at least a thousand times stronger than before, and it is purer; even the recovery speed has also stepped up to a higher level.”

He was channelling spirit energy silently, feeling the slightest change in himself.

It wasn’t until Yuan Lian got used to it and took full control that he stopped.

Cultivation is a process in which great power is attributed to one’s own self.

Only when all power is completely controlled can it be regarded as a truly stable state.

“The strength has increased, so it’s time to sacrifice and refine the White Lotus.”

Among all the powers he possesses, the World Purifying White Lotus can be said to be the most fundamental trump card and the most important.

Only by constantly refining and deepening the control can we exert stronger defensive power.

Yuan Lian now also deeply understands that in this Primordial World, defensive Spirit Treasures are more important than attacking Spirit Treasures.

If the enemy can’t be killed, that is fine, but you yourself cannot die!

With a thought, the World Purifying White Lotus emerged from the Primordial Spirit into the void.

Next, there was another simple and unpretentious cultivation process.

Time passed, thousands of years going by unknowingly.

“Just one more Innate Restriction, and I have already reached the limit. Alas! It’s getting more and more difficult!”

Yuan Lian took the White Lotus back into his Primordial Spirit with some regrets.

Fifteen; only fifteen Innate Restrictions were controlled and refined.

Compared with the complete 48 Restrictions, it is less than one-third, not to mention that the further to the back, the stronger the Restriction.

“When will I be able to fully display the vast and mighty power of the Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure!”

Yuan Lian was expecting and sighing.

The stronger the Innate Restriction, the greater the power of the Spirit Treasure, but the correspondingly longer time it takes.

In the Primordial World, although time is not a problem, improving strength is a problem!

The Primordial World is such a dangerous place; every step of promotion is like taking chestnuts from a fire, and if one is not careful, one may turn into ashes.

“But fortunately, the White Lotus with the fifteenth layer of Innate Restrictions fully activated has extremely strong defense power, and it is enough to be invincible against Wu Xing and Xuan Chen.”

The power of protection soared, and his self-confidence soared with it.

But only against those who are strong in the Late-stage Golden Immortal Realm.

After all, he never knew how strong the Late-stage Golden Immortal was, nor the legendary Perfected Immortal.

“The Sun, Moon, and Starlight Divine Waters that are the trump cards have also been exhausted. Do I have to refine some more?”

To refine or not to refine, that is the question.
