On the shores of the East Sea, within a blessed land.
Dragon and Phoenix had perished countless ages ago, leaving behind remnants of their battle instincts, enacting scenes of the past great calamity.
Xuan Xiao marveled at the terror of the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, while Yun Xiao felt a mix of complexity and sentiment that was beyond words.
“Such a terrifying battle of calamity, such a terrifying struggle for dominance, such terrifying battle instincts... yet now all are gone, leaving only two corpses, falling to this place, discovered by my husband.” How powerful they were, Dragon and Phoenix, yet now they have fallen.
Xuan Xiao didn't know the exact cultivation level of this Dragon and Phoenix during their lifetime, but now that they have fallen, and he had obtained them. He was overjoyed, laughing; “Haha... no matter what, this is a great opportunity for us. These Dragon and Phoenix corpses, even after falling for countless ages, are still incorruptible. Their preciousness is incomparable to ordinary resources. Not to mention, the innate blessed land in front of us is also an unparalleled opportunity. This time, our gains are too great. Haha...”
Xuan Xiao couldn't help but laugh, his excitement overflowing at the gains from this opportunity. These two Dragon and Phoenix corpses, enduring countless ages, yet still incorruptible, their value is self-evident. After all, in the Primordial Chaos, cultivators' physical bodies are themselves a special resource. And this is even more so for the corpses of a Dragon and a Phoenix.
Secondly, this blessed land is also incredibly precious.
Yun Xiao also rejoiced for Xuan Xiao: “Congratulations, husband, for obtaining such an opportunity. Relying on this, our Sky Travel Tribe will surely develop rapidly and increase our strength greatly.”
“Naturally.” Xuan Xiao’s eyes sparkled, already pondering how to utilize the opportunities before him: “The ‘Form-Meaning Art’ I created is based on the insights into the ferocious beasts of the Primordial Chaos. And the stronger the beasts, the stronger the Form-Meaning Art. Unfortunately, my previous strength was insufficient to find powerful beasts to observe.”
“Now, with two divine beast corpses, a Dragon and a Phoenix, right before my eyes, it's enough to help me evolve a stronger Form-Meaning Art. And the battle instincts remaining in these Dragon and Phoenix, forming war phantoms, imprinted with various scales and feathers, scenes of slaughter, can also help me refine the Form-Meaning Art.”
“The refined Form-Meaning Art will elevate the tribe to a new level. There's also the Dragon and Phoenix corpse's flesh, scales, feathers...”
In a short reflection, Xuan Xiao thought of countless ways to utilize these Dragon and Phoenix corpses.
Of course, these are all for later. Right now, Xuan Xiao’s eyes, filled with bright light, observe the various locations of the blessed land: “Such precious Dragon and Phoenix corpses are extremely valuable. But the first thing to do now is to completely obtain this blessed land. Only by truly obtaining this blessed land can we better utilize all the resources here.”
.....
Innate blessed lands in the Primordial Chaos don’t belong to whoever discovers them first. Instead, whoever finds the core of the blessed land first and refines it, they are the true owner.
Every innate blessed land will nurture a core, like the source of heaven and earth. This core could be a tree, or a flower, or a special flame...
The core of the blessed land is hard to find and even harder to refine. But once found and refined, you can fully obtain the blessed land.
Xuan Xiao has the support of the Fortune Bead, relying on its Fortune to cover and guide him, finding the core of the blessed land isn’t that difficult.
Soon, Xuan Xiao and Yun Xiao found a clear pool.
“Is this pool the core of the blessed land?” Yun Xiao looked at the pool with curious eyes, exploring for any changes, afraid to miss a single detail, affecting their search for the core of the blessed land.
Xuan Xiao wasn’t sure if this pool was the core of the blessed land. But guided by the Fortune, it was this pool he found.
The pool was only a few meters in size, but beside it, a towering tree was planted, hundreds of meters high, its branches intertwining like dancing dragons. The roots entangled, showcasing its ancient mystery. Countless leaves containing Daoist rhymes held countless unknown fruits.
Looking at this tree, Xuan Xiao’s heart was filled with a mix of excitement and trepidation: “Regardless of whether this pool is the core of the blessed land, just this tree is truly mysterious, not an ordinary thing. Could it be that this tree is an innate spiritual root?”
Innate spiritual roots, the most precious resources in the Primordial Chaos, obtaining one would be a great opportunity. Especially this tree in front of him, capable of bearing fruit, makes it even more extraordinary.
A spiritual root that can bear fruit means endless resources.
Xuan Xiao was excited, but he also knew this wasn’t the time to explore the nature of this tree. The priority is to quickly find the source of the blessed land, refine it and completely control it. Otherwise, if a foreign cultivator appears and takes away the blessed land, Xuan Xiao would definitely cry.
Therefore, the top priority is to refine this blessed land.
With this in mind, Xuan Xiao quickly approached the pool. Immediately, a thick life force rushed towards him, making him feel like he was bathed in spring, his whole body felt comfortable, and the fatigue from years of cultivation vanished.
Xuan Xiao’s eyes widened, he exclaimed in admiration: “This pool actually exudes such a rich life force!”
He spoke with admiration, but his gaze swept over the clear, bottomless pool. He immediately saw a pearl, swimming like a fish, or a dragon playing, splashing ripples.
From the surface, the pearl seemed ordinary, but the Fortune surging in the Fortune Bead told Xuan Xiao that this was the core of the blessed land.
Xuan Xiao’s heart was filled with excitement, not caring about anything else, he instantly grabbed the pearl. This pearl, as if possessing a little wisdom, instinctively resisted. But Xuan Xiao’s mind, possessing the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Fortune Bead, accompanied by the Fortune emanating, instantly suppressed it.
Xuan Xiao held this pearl, as if he held this entire world, this blessed land.
“This pearl is the core of the blessed land.” Xuan Xiao was excited, but quickly calmed down and looked at the woman beside him: “Yun Xiao, I need to refine this blessed land pearl quickly.”
“Don’t worry, husband, I will protect you.” Yun Xiao understood the importance of this matter and silently guarded Xuan Xiao as he refined the pearl.
....
Soon, Xuan Xiao held the core of the blessed land, transformed into a pearl, quietly immersing himself, ready to refine it.
Speaking of refinement methods in the Primordial Chaos, there are countless methods, the simplest being to use the cultivated power to cleanse and refine the object, leaving your own mark. Alternatively, you can use your own blood essence to cleanse and refine the object. There are also many great divine beings who have created refinement methods, which can refine spiritual treasures more quickly.
But Xuan Xiao lacked cultivation methods, and the best option now is to rely on his own blood essence to cleanse and refine the pearl.
But Xuan Xiao couldn't wait, and he was afraid that the duck would fly away once it's cooked.
Therefore, Xuan Xiao immediately calmed his mind, activating the Fortune Bead within: “Fortune Bead, divine power, Burning Fortune, ignite my Fortune, help me refine the core of the blessed land.”
