A chance to survive at the hands of a Hun Yuan Saint, an inheritance from a Chaos Demon God, and the destiny of his future path.
Yang Mei's three gifts had been extraordinarily thoughtful, paving the way for Cihang's future cultivation.
"Cihang thanks you, Senior."
With an excited heart, Cihang sincerely thanked Yang Mei.
"No need to stand on ceremony, little friend. This is the Karma between you and me. Now that the Karma has been settled, my mission is complete.
"If fate permits, I hope we meet again in Chaos."
As he spoke, Yang Mei's figure had already turned into a wisp of cloud and dispersed. The illusory Mount Luojia shattered along with him.
Cihang's consciousness instantly returned to his true body.
Only then did he discover that the Willow Branch before him had vanished, leaving behind only a willow leaf that radiated a hazy holy light.
Sensing the return of Cihang's consciousness, the willow leaf instantly entered his body.
Cihang immediately felt his body and mind become tranquil.
Yet no matter how he searched, he could not find any trace of that willow leaf, as though his earlier experience had merely been an illusion.
But he knew clearly that the willow leaf was still there. Whenever he encountered a fatal crisis, it would automatically appear to protect him.
After the willow leaf disappeared, a pure white seed remained behind. Dense Life Essence instantly filled the entire cave abode.
"This is the seed formed from the Life Demon God's origin?"
To avoid causing a phenomenon, Cihang waved his hand and stored it inside the Glazed Pure Vase.
He did not immediately begin comprehending these treasures and opportunities. Instead, he looked toward the heavens.
"Chaos? That day will surely come!"
His gaze seemed to pierce through time and space, seeing the enormous willow rooted within Chaos as it continuously inhaled and exhaled Chaos Qi.
After his future memories emerged, Cihang had guessed at countless possibilities.
Yet he had never imagined that Yang Mei would be involved.
*The Twelve-grade World-Purifying White Lotus... I truly do have an extraordinary origin. In the future, I must keep watch for those spiritual treasures formed from fragments of my origin.
*Since I have encountered such an opportunity, I naturally need to restore my origin with all my strength.
However, compared with the very source of my own foundation, the Life Demon God's origin is even more important and precious.
Cihang silently recited the White Lotus Heart-Calming Mantra several times. Only after thoroughly calming his state of mind did he begin sorting through the gains and insights from this encounter.
The most obvious change was the improvement in his state of mind and knowledge.
After comprehending his origin, the extreme emotions within those memories could no longer affect him.
What remained was only his grasp of future opportunities and the improvement of his temperament.
Next came the inheritance of the Twelve-grade World-Purifying White Lotus, as well as the Great Dao traces left behind by that brief memory of the creation of heaven and earth.
Limited by his cultivation realm, although he had witnessed that battle, he could not comprehend those Great Daos at all. It would also be difficult for them to become his foundation and combat power in a short time.
However, quite a few profound Dao traces had appeared upon his true body.
With these Great Dao traces, whether he improved his true body's aptitude in the future or comprehended the Great Dao after reaching a sufficient cultivation level, he would achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Other than that, there was the inheritance of the World-Purifying White Lotus.
When he possessed the World-Purifying Lotus Seed, he had also obtained the complete inheritance of the World-Purifying White Lotus, making up for the missing portion of his original inheritance.
The Twelve-grade World-Purifying White Lotus was a Top-tier Innate Spiritual Root. Its aptitude was no inferior to that of Sanqing or Nuwa.
Although Cihang had not restored his origin, his inheritance was already complete.
With this inheritance, it would be enough for him to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm, and there would not be any major bottlenecks along the way.
Originally, this had been his best choice. But after obtaining the Great Dao inheritance of the Life Demon God, the World-Purifying White Lotus inheritance paled considerably in comparison.
At the beginning of Chaos, Great Dao laws manifested and combined with the Chaos origin, giving birth to a group of Chaos Demon Gods.
They were born bearing Great Dao laws and the Chaos origin. From birth, they were masters of laws and possessed the power of Hun Yuan Saints.
Because their Law Great Daos differed, there were also enormous differences in the strengths of the Demon Gods.
Pangu was undoubtedly the strongest among them. He contained the evolution of three thousand Great Daos within the Law of Strength; calling him the Son of the Great Dao would not be excessive.
Below Pangu were Chaos Demon Gods such as those of time and space.
The Life Demon God and Yang Mei were among them. They were the strongest beneath Pangu, as well as the greatest obstacles to his proving the Dao through the creation of heaven and earth.
Unlike the fortunate Yang Mei, the Life Demon God had directly perished in the great calamity of creation, leaving behind only a strand of origin that Yang Mei obtained.
The Life Demon God's inheritance was an existence comparable to the path of a Saint. How could Cihang not be tempted?
The World-Purifying White Lotus was merely one of the lotus seeds borne by the Chaos Green Lotus, while the Life Demon God had been a true Chaos Demon God.
After refusing Yuanshi, it had already been destined that he could not obtain the true top-tier inheritance of the Mystic Sect.
Since that was the case, why could he not cultivate the path of the Demon Gods instead?
He was also greatly looking forward to and yearning for the realm of the Hun Yuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
"Still, I should first examine this inheritance before deciding what to do!"
After checking the formations outside once more, Cihang took out the Glazed Pure Vase. His body transformed into a streak of light and entered the vase.
The moment he entered the Glazed Pure Vase, Cihang was stunned where he stood. The changes within the vase's space were simply too great.
The original spiritual treasure space had only covered a radius of one million li, yet it had expanded by more than tenfold in just a short while.
Cihang discovered that the spiritual treasure space was still continuously expanding.
It was not only the size of the space. An unending stream of Three Lights Divine Water was also being drawn from the void, filling the lake of Three Lights Divine Water.
The entire spiritual treasure space was likewise filled with dense Life Essence.
As his consciousness connected to the Glazed Pure Vase, Cihang discovered Divine Marks gathering at the vase's core, beginning to form new Innate Restrictions.
"Is the Glazed Pure Vase about to advance into a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure?"
Without continuing to inspect the Glazed Pure Vase, Cihang flashed toward the spiritual island in the center of the divine lake.
Cihang was certain that the only thing capable of causing such changes was that seed of Life Origin.
Looking at the spiritual island before him... no, calling it a spiritual island was no longer appropriate.
At this moment, the spiritual island had completely expanded into a small continent. Mountains and streams rose upon it, while Earth Veins and spiritual qi had also formed within the land.
"This is completely evolving toward a cave-heaven world!"
Cihang did not stop and went directly to the center of the continent.
The spiritual spring that had originally nurtured the Three Lights Divine Water had turned into a lake stretching a hundred li, and it too was filled with Three Lights Divine Water.
Unlike those at the outskirts, this was genuine Three Lights Divine Water containing supreme vitality.
From this day onward, he would no longer have to worry about running out of Three Lights Divine Water.
The greatest change was the hundred-zhang ancient tree at the lake's center. Even from afar, he could sense its ancient and desolate aura.
Its roots pierced through endless time and space, drawing in Chaos Qi from the unseen and transforming it into the origin of heaven and earth that filled the vase's inner space.
Under this pure origin of heaven and earth, the Glazed Pure Vase also advanced, condensing Innate Divine Seals one after another and formally becoming a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Yet Cihang had no time to care about the Glazed Pure Vase's advancement. At that moment, the ancient tree also conveyed a message to him.
"A Top-tier Innate Spiritual Root, the Ancient Life Tree. It evolved from the Life Demon God's origin and contains the Life Law Great Dao!"
At this moment, Cihang did not know whether he should be delighted or regretful.
