"Brother, what brilliant plan do you have?" Nuwa asked.
Fuxi didn't answer. Instead, he dug a hole in the ground and placed a tiny bit of Breathing Soil into it. The Breathing Soil grew continuously, quickly filling the pit.
Next, Fuxi planted the base of the Chaos Gourd Vine into the Breathing Soil.
Afterward, Fuxi took out the Three Lights Divine Water, took one drop of each of the three divine waters, merged them into a single drop, and then dripped it into the Breathing Soil beneath the gourd vine.
"Buzz!"
The auspicious energy in the world suddenly began to converge on Phoenix Perch Mountain. The grass, flowers, and trees around Fuxi's dojo all grew and bloomed, filling his entire dojo with the breath of life.
The Chaos Gourd Vine, nourished by the Three Lights Divine Water, finally reacted. It began to actively absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and leaf buds gradually emerged on the vine.
Nuwa cheered with excitement. Fuxi's dojo was suddenly filled with boundless vitality.
Learning that Fuxi had specifically traveled to the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, Nuwa was naturally very grateful to him.
Now, in her spare time between cultivation, she would check if her gourd vine had flowered.
If it flowered, it would grow small gourds.
With several hundred years left until Zixiao Palace opened, Fuxi urged Nuwa to cultivate diligently and break through to the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
Only by reaching the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal could she hope to gain great benefits from the path to Quasi-Saint that Hongjun spoke of.
After guiding Nuwa a few times, Fuxi began preparing to forge artifacts.
The seven gourds had already been harvested, and the materials for forging were almost ready. It was time to begin refining an Innate Supreme Treasure that could surpass Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
One hundred years later, Fuxi's dojo.
Nuwa was observing the small buds on the Chaos Gourd Vine when she suddenly noticed that the entire space of Phoenix Perch Mountain was shaking. Many spatial rifts appeared in the air, and waves of scorching heat emanated from the area where Fuxi was in seclusion.
"What treasure is Brother forging?" Nuwa exclaimed, her small mouth agape.
Suddenly, lightning and thunder began to erupt from the spatial rifts. The sky above Phoenix Perch Mountain turned black, and dense, dark clouds gathered overhead.
All the flowers and trees on Phoenix Perch Mountain swayed in the strong wind, and colorful lightning flickered within the miles-wide dark clouds.
"Lightning tribulation? Absorb!"
A completely black gourd flew out from Fuxi's dojo, rapidly expanding. It began to absorb the lightning and tribulation energy from the dark clouds.
"What? Lightning tribulations can be absorbed?" Nuwa covered her mouth. There was only talk of enduring tribulations; she had never seen a magical treasure that directly absorbed and devoured them.
However, lightning tribulations represented the will of heaven. The angered dark clouds began to intensify, condensing terrifying lightning to strike Phoenix Perch Mountain.
"Absorb!"
Fuxi's voice echoed, and the black gourd, like a Taotie, directly devoured the lightning tribulation.
Even though the lightning was capable of threatening Grand Unity Golden Immortals, the black gourd showed no signs of distress after absorbing the tribulation, as if it were as easy as eating and drinking.
The dark clouds condensed more and more, and the power of the divine lightning that descended became increasingly terrifying. Ordinary early or mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortals would have difficulty surviving under this lightning tribulation.
Yet, the black gourd freely absorbed the lightning tribulation in mid-air, its body remaining motionless.
All the living beings around Phoenix Perch Mountain were so terrified by the miles-wide tribulation clouds in the sky that they prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to move. But they all noticed the black gourd.
"What kind of magical treasure is that black gourd? How can it absorb such terrifying lightning?"
"That lightning, perhaps a single bolt could turn us to dust."
"There seems to be more and more lightning tribulation. Will the black gourd anger the heavens by doing this?"
The creatures near Phoenix Perch Mountain were all so frightened they dared not move. They only hoped the tribulation clouds would dissipate quickly and not affect their lives.
In fact, the Witch Clan at the foot of Buzhou Mountain also noticed this terrifying phenomenon.
Houtu stood on a high point of Buzhou Mountain, looking at the terrifying lightning tribulation, and said, "Judging by the location, that seems to be Fellow Daoist Fuxi's dojo."
Zhu Rong nodded and said, "If it's Fellow Daoist Fuxi, then it's not surprising. This person is a formidable figure who has punched the Three Pure Ones and kicked the Eastern Emperor."
Although Zhu Rong often argued with Gong Gong about who was stronger, after encountering Fuxi last time, they both realized that there were always greater powers beyond their own, and their disputes were meaningless.
The tribulation clouds in the sky suddenly stopped releasing lightning, but they continued to condense. The entire sky over Phoenix Perch Mountain was completely obscured by the dark clouds.
"It seems like the strongest lightning tribulation is about to descend," Nuwa murmured, standing beside the gourd vine.
"Little sister, let me show you the power of the artifact I've forged!" Fuxi flew out from the depths of his dojo and arrived beside the gourd, supporting the completely black gourd.
High above, the dark clouds condensed and concentrated, and the lightning within them gathered and merged.
Just as the miles-wide black clouds were about to unleash the ultimate divine punishment, Fuxi stood calmly in the air and said, "I have a treasure that can swallow the heavens."
Fuxi pulled the stopper from the black gourd and sent it flying directly towards the miles-wide dark clouds.
The ten thousand miles of black clouds above Phoenix Perch Mountain were brewing with infinite lightning.
But the pitch-black gourd was like the world for these black clouds and lightning, directly erupting with a powerful suction force, beginning to madly absorb this terrifying lightning tribulation.
Even though the tribulation clouds continuously bombarded the gourd with lightning, they couldn't shake the pitch-black gourd in the slightest.
Thus, these tribulation clouds all became food for the pitch-black gourd.
Each time it ate a piece of tribulation cloud, the pitch-black gourd would grow larger. When it had swallowed all the tribulation clouds, the pitch-black gourd directly became as large as a mountaintop.
However, after devouring so much lightning and tribulation clouds, the gourd seemed to have swallowed something dirty and began to shake violently.
Nuwa and Fuxi could vaguely hear the rumbling of lightning from within the gourd.
This pitch-black gourd shook continuously, flying all over the sky, looking as if it had gone mad.
However, it wasn't long before this pitch-black little gourd calmed down, its volume also shrinking, and it flew back into Fuxi's hand.
Fuxi smiled slightly and took out a brocade cloth to start wiping the surface of the gourd.
When Fuxi wiped the surface of the gourd, he actually wiped off a layer of dust.
Some pitch-black powder was removed from the gourd's surface, and the gourd began to radiate a seven-colored light.
Moreover, the gourd seemed to have changed its material, its surface becoming crystal clear, like exquisite glazed pottery fired by a master craftsman.
When Fuxi had wiped the entire gourd, the pitch-black gourd transformed itself into a seven-colored glazed gourd.
"Brother, is this the spiritual treasure you refined from those seven gourds?"
Nuwa flew to Fuxi's side and asked.
Fuxi handed the glazed gourd to Nuwa and said, "Yes, but it hasn't been completely refined yet."
Nuwa took the glazed gourd and felt it, exclaiming, "The grade of this gourd seems to have surpassed Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. How can you say it's not completely refined?"
Fuxi said, "Although this gourd has surpassed Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, it still hasn't reached Innate Supreme Treasure."
Nuwa said, "I see. Then why not refine it into an Innate Supreme Treasure?"
Fuxi touched his nose and said, "On one hand, my strength is not yet strong enough, and on the other hand, I still need a strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi."
"Hongmeng Purple Qi? What is that?"
Nuwa asked in confusion.
Fuxi stammered, "This... I'll explain it to you later when I get the Hongmeng Purple Qi."
He always inadvertently revealed some information that Nuwa didn't yet understand.
For example, Hongmeng Purple Qi, this was something unknown to the Grand Unity Golden Immortals in the Great Desolation realm. Apart from Hongjun, no one else had seen it.
Fuxi looked at the glazed gourd with some worry in his heart.
Now that he had refused to become Hongjun's disciple, would Hongjun be willing to give him Hongmeng Purple Qi later?
Besides Hongjun, it would be difficult for him to obtain Hongmeng Purple Qi.
However, Fuxi was not too worried because he still had an incredibly powerful system.
Since the system could even produce Pangu's Primordial Spirit and Pangu's Essence Blood, it wasn't too much to ask for a strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Alternatively, he could try to snatch a strand from the Three Pure Ones or Jieyin when Hongjun was distributing Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Although doing so might result in him being hunted by Hongjun.
However, Fuxi was already very satisfied to be able to refine a treasure that surpassed Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
Previously, when he fought with Eastern Emperor Taiyi, he had felt the importance of spiritual treasures.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's strength was originally no match for Fuxi, but with the protection of the Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell, Eastern Emperor Taiyi could still save his life from Fuxi's attacks.
Similarly, if Taishang Laojun had not unleashed his Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, his condensed Pangu Dharma Idol could have even severely injured the Three Pure Ones.
Therefore, spiritual treasures were very useful.
Fuxi had actually been worried before that after Hongjun distributed treasures on the Treasure Distribution Cliff, he wouldn't have any powerful spiritual treasures and would easily suffer a disadvantage when fighting against the Three Pure Ones and others.
Fortunately, even though he hadn't become a disciple, as long as he kept completing the system's tasks, he would have spiritual treasures and Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Moreover, at this stage, a treasure that surpassed Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures was already enough.
"Brother, have you named this gourd yet?"
Nuwa asked curiously.
"Not yet. How about calling it Gourd Little Diamond?"
Fuxi said.
"What kind of name is that? It's so strange."
Nuwa felt the gourd for a while and said, "This gourd is like glazed pottery all over, with seven colors, and it's very exquisite. How about calling it the Seven-Colored Glazed Treasure Gourd?"
"That name is fine."
