Houtu explained as they walked, "Most of the treasures here are tainted with turbid energy, making them difficult for ordinary cultivators to use."
She suddenly stopped and pointed to a broken bone staff. "That belonged to Big Brother Gonggong when he was young..."
Before she could finish, Xuanming suddenly scooped Lin Fan up by the waist.
"Let go!" The young man's ear tips turned red, and a faint golden light gathered in his palm.
Houtu chuckled and shook her head, flicking her fingers to dissolve Lin Fan's magic.
"Stop messing around," she said, summoning the bone staff. "If little sister likes this child, why not give him a proper gift?"
Xuanming pouted and released him, then suddenly pulled off a black bead from her necklace.
"Here, wear this and no one will dare bully you."
The bead chain was still warm from her touch, and Lin Fan didn't know whether to take it or not.
A bell chimed from outside the hall, and Houtu's expression shifted slightly.
"It's time."
The playful banter between the three came to an abrupt halt.
On the way back, Xuanming got her way after all—she tucked a Ghost Orchid into Lin Fan's hair.
"You look so pretty," she said, stepping back two paces with satisfaction, completely oblivious to the boy clenching his fists.
Lin Qiu had saved her once before, so this small gesture was truly nothing.
Lin Qiu discovered that the Spiritual Root had suffered damage to its origin.
He immediately contacted the system.
"System, can a Spiritual Root with damaged origin still be enlightened?"
"No problem."
After receiving the system's affirmative reply.
Lin Qiu felt reassured.
He casually put the Mysterious Spirit Fruit Tree into his Primordial Space.
"System, begin enlightening the Mysterious Spirit Fruit Tree."
Ding! Enlightening the Mysterious Spirit Fruit Tree.
Inside the Primordial Space.
The damaged Spiritual Root was rapidly healing.
Dao Charm flowed, and innate spiritual energy surged continuously.
The entire fruit tree suddenly expanded a hundredfold.
The patterns on its leaves became even more profound.
As if containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.
Lin Qiu's cultivation directly broke through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo realm, fueled by the feedback from this Dao Charm.
Enlightenment successful. The Mysterious Spirit Fruit Tree received a Chaos Blessing, growing into a top-tier Spiritual Root with a maturation period shortened to one hundred thousand years.
Host received Spiritual Root feedback, with an additional reward: Hunyuan Heavenly Pill.
In the Primordial Space.
Lin Qiu found five Chaos Fruits already hanging among the shining leaves.
The fruit skins were covered in purple patterns, emitting a rich spiritual energy.
He was quite satisfied.
Originally, this Spiritual Root had been eroded by malevolent energy.
It was on the verge of death.
Even top-tier treasures would have struggled to fully restore it.
Now, not only had it completely recovered, but its grade had also ascended.
It was an unexpected joy.
Lin Qiu then proceeded to examine another reward.
Dao Patterns appeared on the surface of the Hunyuan Heavenly Pill.
These patterns resembled a network of laws.
A slight perception revealed that.
They contained not ordinary spiritual power.
But a higher level of power of order.
The might of this pill was truly astonishing.
If it could be refined, it would undoubtedly bring immense benefits.
He had only just reached the mid-stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal, and his foundation was not yet solidified.
Lin Fan walked alone within Pangu Hall, seeking a quiet place.
With a thought, a Mysterious Spirit Fruit appeared in his palm.
Dao patterns intertwined on the fruit, emitting pure Chaos spiritual energy and a rich aroma.
Lin Fan immediately consumed it.
In an instant, an extreme deliciousness flooded his senses.
Before he could savor it, continuous energy surged within his body, like a galaxy pouring out, flowing into his meridians and transforming into vast magical power.
This Chaos Mysterious Spirit Fruit was no ordinary item.
It contained a spiritual power as profound as a galaxy, most suitable for increasing cultivation and stabilizing one's realm.
Lin Fan immersed himself in it.
The Primordial Great Dao True Explanation and the Primordial Creation Scripture began to circulate on their own.
He refined and devoured the chaotic energy with insatiable hunger.
The pressure emanating from his body rose steadily.
Houtu and Xuanming sensed the anomaly and rushed over. Upon seeing the situation, they froze on the spot, their eyes wide with astonishment.
Knowing he was in a state of enlightenment, they dared not disturb him.
The other Ancestral Witches also perceived the fluctuation.
Gonggong and Zhurong appeared first.
After sensing for a moment, Zhurong asked in shock:
"Fellow Daoist Lin Fan, are you about to break through?"
Achieving Great Luo Golden Immortal at such a young age was already defying heaven.
Who would have thought that in such a short time, he would break through again?
The Ancestral Witches stood silently in the distance, their hearts stirred.
As time passed, Lin Fan's aura suddenly changed drastically, like a raging tide.
His physical body shone brilliantly, emitting myriad rays of light and various phenomena.
His body seemed to contain its own universe, where myriad rules intertwined and evolved, gradually reaching perfection.
Golden lotuses of the Three Thousand Great Daos bloomed in the air.
Each blooming Dao flower symbolized the perfection of a Great Dao, the ultimate state of a rule.
As boundless Dao Charm flowed, ten thousand Dao flowers grew and evolved at an astonishing speed.
After an unknown period, the power of the Three Thousand Great Dao laws erupted, and brilliant divine radiance burst forth.
The entire Pangu Divine Hall was illuminated as if it were daytime.
Illusory figures of Nine-Leaf Divine Trees appeared in the void, their branches and leaves faintly visible as they stretched out.
The Dao Fruits of the Nine-Leaf Divine Tree gathered infinite rule power, appearing like Incarnations of the Great Dao, causing spacetime to vibrate violently.
This terrifying fluctuation swept through the entire Divine Hall, causing even the structure of Pangu Hall to tremble slightly.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches stood frozen on the spot, speechless for a long time.
A monstrous wave surged in their hearts—this terrifying power that shook Pangu Hall actually originated from a Great Luo Golden Immortal!
It was known that Pangu Hall was located on Buzhou Mountain, and its spatial rules were as solid as gold. Yet, ripples were appearing now, which was truly horrifying.
As the various phenomena gradually subsided, Lin Fan's aura changed again.
A majestic aura that pierced through heaven and earth shot straight into the sky—
His mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm was completely stabilized, having reached perfection.
The Three Thousand Great Daos were all completed and perfected.
He was only a hair's breadth away from the late stage of Great Luo.
"Fellow Daoist Lin Fan's talent is truly unprecedented."
Dijiang gazed for a long time before finally sighing.
The vast spatial laws in the previous phenomena were so profound that even he, an Ancestral Witch who controlled the origin of space, found them difficult to comprehend.
"Fellow Daoist Lin Fan's understanding of the Great Dao is beyond our reach."
Zhurong and Gonggong exchanged wry smiles.
They had debated and sparred with Lin Fan before, but were always suppressed.
Especially Zhurong—Lin Fan had defeated him with physical strength alone. Now, after his breakthrough, the gap was likely as wide as the difference between heaven and earth.
Since their birth, the Twelve Ancestral Witches had each mastered one origin law.
But at this moment, from the Dao Charm surrounding Lin Fan, they all saw the true meaning of their most familiar laws, and even gained some enlightenment.
This scene was simply unbelievable.
(
Chapter
Amidst their awe, the Ancestral Witches couldn't help but admire Lin Fan.
It was already incredibly difficult for any being in the world to comprehend even a single law, let alone master it.
Yet, Lin Fan was able to cultivate multiple laws simultaneously.
Such an ability was truly beyond comprehension.
At this moment, Houtu approached Lin Fan and asked with confusion, "Why did you suddenly break through?"
"I gained some insights while observing Pangu Hall just now. After a slight realization, the breakthrough came naturally."
Lin Fan spoke these insincere words with a composed expression.
The secret of enlightening the Mysterious Spirit Fruit Tree was something he absolutely could not reveal to the Ancestral Witches. After all, it was part of his hidden trump cards.
Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Witches were stunned.
Their faces were filled with confusion.
Zhurong and Gonggong were particularly bewildered.
Although they didn't understand, they were greatly shaken.
They had lived in Pangu Hall for a very long time since their birth.
They had never sensed any unusual mysteries within.
Why could Lin Fan, a newcomer, sense something and even break through because of it?
This matter sounded truly unbelievable.
Houtu felt her heart tremble, once again experiencing the vast disparity in the world.
As fellow beings of the Primordial World, why was the gap between them so immense?
Dijiang and the others exchanged questioning glances.
"Fellow Daoist Lin Fan, did you perhaps discover some secret in Pangu Hall?"
Dijiang pondered for a moment before asking.
"I wouldn't dare say for sure, I merely had a slight feeling."
Lin Fan lightly shook his head.
"Why don't Ancestral Witch Dijiang explore the hall? Perhaps there will be unexpected gains."
Relying on his unique perceptive abilities, he sensed that Pangu Hall hid a secret.
The deeper he went, the stronger the pressure became.
From this, he deduced that there must be a hidden secret within.
Hearing this, the Ancestral Witches were all surprised.
In truth, they had also tried to explore Pangu Hall, but they were always blocked by an invisible, powerful force.
Out of reverence for the Great God Pangu, they had never tried again after that.
"Big brother, I think what Lin Fan said makes sense. There's no harm in trying, perhaps there really is an opportunity hidden inside."
Houtu suggested.
"Thank you, young friend, for your guidance. When the time is right, we will certainly try."
Dijiang nodded solemnly at Lin Fan.
"As Houtu said, there's no harm in trying. If we can truly find an opportunity, the Witch Race might rise from this."
The Twelve Ancestral Witches then departed.
Lin Fan stepped into the Primordial Pearl.
The Mysterious Spirit Fruit Tree stood tall, its canopy like a magnificent canopy, its leaves shimmering with a crystalline luster.
A gentle voice drifted into his ears:
"Thank you, Master, for enlightening me."
Although the voice was beautiful, it carried a hint of coldness.
"No need for pleasantries, from now on, we are family."
Lin Fan replied with a smile.
He walked to the tree and gently caressed its leaves. The Mysterious Spirit Tree's branches trembled slightly, showing affection.
Dao Charm flowed around Lin Fan, making her feel comfortable all over, her cultivation subtly loosening.
The little master's aura smells so good...
I really wish I could stay by his side forever.
However, due to her nature, these thoughts were never spoken.
Brother is here.
The little master has finally arrived.
The Chaos Star Tree and the Chaos Immortal Apricot greeted him joyfully.
The former's voice was gentle, the latter's lively.
Noticing that the two Spiritual Roots had grown taller than before and their origins had also advanced, Lin Fan said with a pleased smile, "It seems you've grown well here."
"It's good, but it's too boring! When will Brother take us out?"
The Immortal Apricot, with its lively nature, couldn't stand the loneliness.
Lin Fan smiled and replied, "Don't you have new companions to keep you company now?"
"This one should be called Mysterious Spirit Sister."
"Star is the eldest, Mysterious Spirit is second, and you are the youngest."
He immediately ranked the three Spiritual Roots.
The Immortal Apricot pouted and mumbled.
"Why am I the youngest? I clearly came into existence before Mysterious Spirit!"
The Immortal Apricot's branches trembled slightly, its tone full of defiance.
Lin Fan played with a patch of green apricot leaf, his smile radiant.
"Their origin power far surpasses yours, is there any problem with this ranking?"
"If you're not convinced, why don't you ask Star and Mysterious Spirit if they're willing to switch with you?"
Upon hearing this, the Immortal Apricot immediately sent a divine sense to the other two.
Before it could ask.
A cold divine sense suddenly swept over—it was Mysterious Spirit.
The apricot branches instantly tensed up.
What's there to be proud of? she muttered inwardly.
Despite her unwillingness, she had to admit:
The Dao Charm flowing around Mysterious Spirit was indeed heart-stopping.
"Stop arguing."
The Star Fruit Tree emanated gentle divine sense fluctuations.
"We have a long time to get along in the future, so why not focus on cultivation?"
"If you can transform into human form sooner, you won't be letting down the little master's nurturing."
The Immortal Apricot snorted and curled up its leaves.
Mysterious Spirit never cast another glance its way.
Lin Fan chuckled in amusement.
It was just a casual ranking, yet it had stirred ripples among the three spiritual plants.
He sat down where the tree's shadow intertwined.
A bright light suddenly flickered in his spiritual platform.
"Ding! Fused the Law of Creation and the Dao of Arrays, comprehended the Creation Great Array."
"Ding! Merged with the Law of Stars, created the Creation Star Great Array."
"Received one Snow Spirit Fruit Tree as a gift."
The law imprints appearing in the void were reflected in his eyes.
Countless light patterns were reconstructing the entire space.
The moment the two great arrays took shape, immeasurable spiritual energy surged within the Primordial Pearl.
It transformed into starlight and the energy of creation, nourishing the three spiritual plants.
"Wow, this is so refreshing! My origin is rapidly strengthening!"
The Immortal Apricot exclaimed excitedly.
The Star Fruit Tree softly chimed in:
"Indeed.
Our little master is too amazing, to have completely grasped our origin laws and perfectly fused the Way of Creation with the Way of Stars.
Growing in this environment will significantly shorten the time until we can take human form."
The Mysterious Spirit Fruit Tree simply expressed:
"Thank you, little master."
The Immortal Apricot chirped excitedly again:
"Brother is the best! I like brother the most!"
These intimate words left the Mysterious Spirit Fruit Tree and the Star Fruit Tree momentarily speechless.
Lin Fan was also struggling to handle it.
