Pollen System, Spirit Particles

The Sun Divine Talisman emitted a dazzling light and floated in front of Zhou Tong.

The next moment, the Sun Divine Talisman transformed into a stream of light and flew into Zhou Tong's brow Immortal Platform.

"Buzz!!"

As the Sun Divine Talisman entered his body, Zhou Tong immediately felt the Yin-Yang Holy Power flowing throughout his entire body, making him feel completely comfortable.

Within his brow Immortal Platform, a small purple figure formed from his primordial spirit sat embracing a bell. Beside him, the Taiyin Divine Talisman emitted a dense Taiyin Sacred Power, while opposite him, the Sun Divine Talisman also emitted an extremely dense Sun Sacred Power.

One yin and one yang, the two divine talismans, like the sun and moon, revolved endlessly around Zhou Tong's primordial spirit.

The Yin-Yang sacred power also rotated and nourished Zhou Tong's soul. In particular, the wisps of almost imperceptible Chaos Qi generated by the occasional collision of Yin and Yang were a great tonic for Zhou Tong's primordial spirit.

Even his Hegemonic Bell was covered with Divine Pattern of the Taiyin Taiyang, which were constantly converging and causing the bell to display patterns of the sun and moon.

At the same time, the convergence of Yin and Yang made the Chaos Qi of his Hegemonic Bell even more terrifying.

Previously, when it underwent tribulation in the Four Extremities Realm, the Hegemonic Bell had absorbed nine streams of Chaos Qi. Now, nourished by this energy, the Chaos Qi on the Hegemonic Bell is even more intense.

"If this continues, will I turn into Chaos Body?!" Zhou Tong suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

His methods of cultivating Taiyin Taiyang are completely different from those of Ye Fan in the original novel.

In the original story, Ye Fan's fusion was centered around Tai Chi, because Ye Fan's own Divine Form was the curve dividing Yin and Yang at the center of the Taiji Diagram. He used himself to divide Yin and Yang, forming the Taiji Diagram, so that the Yin and Yang sacred powers within his body would not conflict.

Zhou Tong's method of cultivating the Taiyin Taiyang is his own Kunpeng Divine Form.

Kun represents Yin, and Peng represents Yang; together, Kunpeng symbolize the harmony of Yin and Yang. This harmony of Yin and Yang is what is known as chaos!

He had no means to separate Yin and Yang, but instead used the most domineering method to directly merge Yin and Yang, using the Kunpeng Method to merge Yin and Yang and transform them into chaos!

"Chaos Body ... If I really am to become Chaos Body, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until the next Lifetime!" Zhou Tong smiled slightly.

If he can really succeed, perhaps he won't need to wait for a higher realm to find the means and methods to live to the next Lifetime; coupled with the Immortal Divine Medicine, he could conservatively live for three lifetimes!

"However... I am only a practitioner of Yin and Yang in the Immortal Platform Secret Realm. Even if I were to truly transform into Chaos Body, I would first begin the transformation of my primordial spirit. The physical transformation would have to come later..."

"Forget about the Chaos Body! The most important thing now is to auction off the Holy Lord! Let me refine some treasures first!" Zhou Tong quickly put everything aside and wholeheartedly began to prepare for what was to come.

"First of all, it's my protective treasure, and it should be able to reach an even higher level!" Zhou Tong took out the Vajra Ring in his hand.

This Vajra Ring appears to be an ancient color, but upon closer inspection, it is divided into three colors: red, blue, and black, which are Phoenix Blood Red Gold, Eternal Blue Gold, and Dragon Pattern Black Gold.

"I have mastered the profound meanings of Phoenix Blood Red Gold and Dragon Pattern Black Gold. Next is the harmony of Dragon-Phoenix Resonance!" With a thought, Zhou Tong activated the profound meanings of Dragon Pattern Black Gold and Phoenix Blood Red Gold within this Great Sage Artifact.

Accompanied by the sounds of dragons roaring and phoenixes singing, jet-black dragon patterns and crimson phoenix blood soared into the sky, merging in mid-air to transform into a Daoist Dao Diagram of Dragon and Phoenix Bring Auspiciousness.

The Phoenix has a beautiful and graceful figure, and its magnificent feathers are as radiant and beautiful as the morning glow.

The True Dragon was agile and powerful, with strong claws. The sound of Leiming and lightning could be faintly heard on its black scales, as if it were galloping through the clouds and waves.

Dragons Dragon-Phoenix Resonance!

The True Dragon Method and the Immortal Phoenix Method are, to some extent, complementary and compatible.

Legends exist from both the Immortal Ancient Era and the Chaotic Ancient Era that if someone simultaneously masters both the True Dragon Secret Technique and the Immortal Phoenix Secret Technique, the two can complement each other, multiplying their power.

In fact, this is not a legend. Zhou Tong has now mastered the True Dragon Method and the Immortal Phoenix Method. However, he has not been cultivating for long enough to perfectly integrate the two techniques. But even with only a tiny bit of integration, Zhou Tong has already felt the extreme power.

Now, all of this will be reflected in his Vajra Ring.

Dragon and Phoenix Bring Auspiciousness.

In the Void the Great, the True Dragon and the Immortal Phoenix resonated, their endless ripples of law merging into a symphony of Phoenix Cry True Dragon. With these two techniques at their core, the True Dragon and the Immortal Phoenix were cooperating, complementing each other, and resonating.

"Om!"

In that instant, Zhou Tong sensed that the True Dragon Dao Pattern within the Vajra Ring was constantly expanding, expanding, and expanding again. At the same time, the expansion of the Dao Pattern also affected the power of the True Dragon Deity within the weapon.

As the True Dragon and the Immortal Phoenix resonated, the True Dragon Deity was also constantly improving, as if it were forcibly elevating the True Dragon Deity to an extremely powerful realm.

The profound meaning of the Dragon Pattern Black Gold evolved into symbols, which were continuously imprinted within the True Dragon Deity, promoting its growth.

"Just as I guessed before... Once the Immortal Gold Profound Meaning is awakened, I'm afraid I can slowly evolve to the level of an Emperor-level weapon!" Zhou Tong thought to himself. At the same time, he couldn't help but think of a person from the Sacred Ruins Era in later years— Chu Feng.

Chu Feng did not personally participate in the refining process of the Vajra Ring. It relied entirely on the material of the Vajra Ring itself to absorb and integrate the Great Dao contained in other mother metals, thus becoming a supreme treasure.

Even during the refining process, Chu Feng deliberately controlled himself to prevent himself from affecting the evolution of this treasure.

Mother Gold and Immortal Metal are actually the same thing, both containing extremely terrifying Dao.

However, compared to the flamboyant Mother Gold of later generations, the Great Dao of Immortal Metal is more restrained and profound, and can only be manifested by awakening the Immortal Gold Profound Meaning... But once the profound meaning is awakened, Immortal Metal is slightly superior to Mother Gold.

Because the Immortal Metal is "alive" after its profound meaning is activated, while the Mother Gold is "dead," it is necessary to find a special Primal Mother Gold and fuse it into it in order to bring the Mother Gold "alive."

"Perhaps the weapon-forging method I'm using now, this method that allows weapons to sublimate on their own, is the same as the weapon-forging method of later generations?" Zhou Tong wondered. "The supreme weapon-forging method of later generations probably involves first finding the Primal Mother Gold to 'bring the weapon's' material to life, and then gradually incorporating other profound mysteries..."

"Bear!!"

As Zhou Tong pondered, the True Sun Fire continued to burn, and the True Dragon and the Immortal Phoenix resonated in the Void the Great, Dragon and Phoenix Bring Auspiciousness. The weapon itself was displaying its own patterns.

Moreover, this process was accompanied by the sounds of the Great Dao, like the resounding boom of a great bell, deafening and awakening.

Finally, the phantom images of the True Dragon and the Immortal Phoenix faded.

Zhou Tong could feel that the Dao Pattern inside his Vajra Ring had almost doubled. The Dao Pattern that originally only occupied a tiny corner and belonged to the True Dragon Method were now comparable to the Dao Pattern belonging to the Immortal Phoenix Method.

"The True Dragon Dao Pattern and the Immortal Phoenix Dao Pattern are merging and complementing each other, and the power of my Vajra Ring has probably increased dramatically! And most importantly, I've seen a deeper level of fusion between the True Dragon and the Phoenix..."

Zhou Tong was very excited. The Deity inside the Vajra Ring was connected to his mind, and this fusion could be easily transformed into Zhou Tong's own insights without any side effects.

Of course, for Zhou Tong, who aspires to attain enlightenment, he cannot directly absorb these insights. Instead, he needs to absorb them while simultaneously deducing their meaning, so that they can be thoroughly integrated into his current system.

Even existing theorems need to be proven before they can be used.

"Perhaps it really is the prototype of the cultivation method of later generations, which directly promotes the improvement of cultivators' realm through the changes of the Great Dao in external objects?" Zhou Tong became more and more suspicious that he had inadvertently discovered a trace of the mystery of the pollen cultivation system of later generations.

Previously, through the experiment with the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword, he had clearly seen the fusion process of the Grass Character Sword Art and the True Dragon Method; and now, through the Vajra Ring, he has almost completely seen the profound meaning of the fusion of the True Dragon Method and the Immortal Phoenix Method.

This path of cultivation is remarkably similar to the later methods of evolution through pollen; both rely on the evolution of external things to propel their own path forward.

The core of the Pollen System seems to be that all things have a spirit, and the spirit of all things is concentrated in each grain of pollen. Finally, it uses the spirit of all things integrated into the pollen to start its own evolution.

The fact that the Immortal Metal awakens its own profound power and is resurrected can actually be considered a different kind of spirituality...

"Is it true that all things have a spirit? Is Immortal Metal really formed from the Spirit Particle scattered by some supreme powerhouses in history?" Zhou Tong was filled with thoughts.

The mysteries of Immortal Metal are very special, so special that they don't seem to be born naturally from heaven and earth, but rather something that has evolved artificially. For example, the relationship between the mysteries of Phoenix Blood Red Gold and the Immortal Phoenix Clan, and the relationship between the mysteries of Dragon Pattern Black Gold and the True Dragon Clan...

"I remember that in the Chaotic Ancient Era, there were Crimson Blood Immortal Gold, Yellow Dao Immortal Gold, and Darkness Immortal Gold. The names of these Immortal Metal were slightly different from those of today. Was it because of the great changes in the times that followed, which caused the Spirit Particle of some powerful races to merge into the Immortal Metal, thus becoming the Immortal Metal today?"

"Was it because of the manifestation of the Pollen Path in later generations that all the Spirit Particle in the world condensed towards the path of evolution, thus turning the Immortal Metal, which lacked Spirit Particle, into mother gold? Is that why a special kind of Primal Mother Gold is needed to unlock the life of Immortal Metal and to forge living weapons?"

Zhou Tong was filled with endless doubts.

As if possessed, he took the Reincarnation Mirror and looked at his Vajra Ring, or more precisely, at the Phoenix Blood Red Gold inside the Vajra Ring.

Suddenly, fragmented images appeared on the Reincarnation Mirror.

Those were countless scenes of madness and despair: the Immortal Phoenix weeping blood, the wailing of lust, the near-madness, all blossoming into a dazzling and beautiful life...

Although it's just a fragmented image, it evokes an indescribable emotion, with a tragic and heroic atmosphere that's palpable.

Even Zhou Tong was unconsciously infected, as if ancient sages were singing a lament and making accusations... An unimaginable emotion was conveyed through the Reincarnation Mirror, as if in resistance.

"Perhaps... I can do something for all living beings in the world..." Zhou Tong said unconsciously.

However, as soon as he said it, he realized his mistake and immediately cut off the image on the Reincarnation Mirror.

"Is it really Spirit Particle? Is it really the tragic legacy left over from ancient times that has reached me? I never thought that even I, who am usually calm, would be affected..." Zhou Tong sighed inwardly.

He then used the Reincarnation Mirror to examine the other Immortal Metal as well. As a result, no image was reflected on any Immortal Metal that had not awakened the Immortal Gold Profound Meaning.

"Only immortal Immortal Metal that has awakened its profound mysteries can reflect images!" Zhou Tong said thoughtfully.

The Reincarnation Mirror can only reflect living things. In other words, Immortal Metal that has not awakened the profound mysteries of Immortal Gold Profound Meaning is seen as an inanimate object by the Reincarnation Mirror.

"However, I should try to avoid consuming Immortal Metal in the future. Being influenced by other people's emotions... isn't a pleasant feeling!" Zhou Tong felt a strange sense of emotion when he thought of the words he had inexplicably uttered earlier.

After entering the cultivation world, facing the encirclement and suppression of countless powerful families throughout the Big Dipper, Zhou Tong always suppressed his emotional side with rationality, which is why he appeared so cold.

Faced with the powerful and domineering Great Sage, Zhou Tong also felt anger, but what good was anger? Could it solve any problems?

What's the use of being generous and magnanimous when faced with the arduous Emperor's Path, where thousands of troops must cross a single-plank bridge? Would it just jeopardize one's own path?

But he is not a robot; he also has his own feelings, joys, sorrows, and anger.

He will resonate with the most tragic emotions passed down from ancient times, and immerse himself in that tragic atmosphere, feeling the same way.
