The Glazed Pure Vase was promoted to a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and the Ancient Life Tree also became a top-tier Innate Spiritual Root.

Let alone a Mysterious Immortal, even a Quasi-Saint might not possess a top-grade Spiritual Treasure and top-tier Spiritual Root.

Cihang should have been delighted by this, but there were prerequisites.

Like cultivators, Spiritual Roots and Spiritual Treasures are divided into grades.

However, relatively speaking, the laws and power contained within Spiritual Roots and Treasures are one level lower than those of cultivators.

Top-tier Innate Spiritual Roots are the limit in the Great Desolation, but they correspond to the Quasi-Saint realm.

Yet, the origin of the Life Demon God is not weaker than a Saint, and even surpasses it.

Even if it transformed into a Spiritual Root, it would correspond to a Chaos Spiritual Root.

It's a pity that the world laws of the Great Desolation do not permit the existence of Chaos Spiritual Roots.

There might be exceptions, but Cihang was currently powerless to achieve that.

It was for this reason that the original Chaos Spiritual Root dropped in grade, becoming a top-tier Innate Spiritual Root.

The other life origins were integrated into the Glazed Pure Vase, which, in addition to evolving into a lake of Three Lights Divine Water, also forcibly increased its grade.

This promoted it to a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

A Chaos Spiritual Root converted into two top-grade Innate Spiritual Roots and Treasures—no matter how you calculate it, it's a loss. How could Cihang not feel regretful?

"I have already gained such a great opportunity, I shouldn't be too greedy!"

The gap in his heart lasted only an instant before Cihang calmed his mind.

In fact, this outcome seemed to be a disadvantage, but it was the best for him.

Not to mention that the world does not allow Chaos Spiritual Roots to appear, even if he successfully kept the Chaos Spiritual Root, he would not be able to use it with his current realm.

It might even bring disaster.

Conversely, for him now, a top-tier Innate Spiritual Root is the most suitable.

And there is also a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

It is important to know that in the Great Desolation, there are only a few true supreme treasures, existing between the Innate and Chaos realms.

Each supreme treasure has a special destiny and meaning of existence.

A top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure is already the strongest Spiritual Treasure that the Great Desolation can nurture.

Even later Saints do not all possess Innate Supreme Treasures.

Cihang should be content to have a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Under the abundant infusion of Life Essence and Great Dao Imprints, the Glazed Pure Vase directly condensed forty-eight Innate Divine Forbidden patterns, only a hair's breadth away from a Supreme Treasure.

If he were to encounter Chiyu again now, he could stand invincible with just the Glazed Pure Vase, and even kill him in return.

Because it is a companion spiritual treasure, it also saved him tens of millions of years of refining time.

It is important to know that the higher the grade of a spiritual treasure, the more difficult it is to refine and recognize its master.

Because he was sufficiently familiar with the Glazed Pure Vase, Cihang did not pay too much attention to it, but instead focused his gaze on the Ancient Life Tree.

Although the Ancient Life Tree dropped to a top-tier Innate Spiritual Root, it was only one step away from a Chaos Spiritual Root.

Comparatively speaking, it was still stronger than other top-tier Spiritual Roots.

The ability to inhale and exhale Chaos Qi is just a basic ability of its spiritual root. Besides that, the Ancient Life Tree can condense a kind of Life Divine Fluid.

Life Divine Fluid can be said to be an upgraded version of Three Lights Divine Water.

Three Lights Divine Water can heal the origin injuries of Grand Unity and even Quasi-Saints, but it ultimately has its limits.

However, Life Divine Fluid is different; it can heal the Great Dao injuries inflicted by Saints.

And as long as there is a trace of soul and true spirit left, a drop of Life Divine Fluid can bring about true resurrection from the dead.

In addition, Life Divine Fluid also has other spiritual fruits that assist in cultivation and comprehending the laws of life.

This is another life-saving sacred object.

Apart from the Life Divine Fluid, the Ancient Life Tree can be considered a type of fruit tree.

However, it takes one Yuan Hui, 129,600 years, for it to bloom, bear fruit, and mature.

Its fruit is indeed extremely similar to that Ginseng Fruit, but the Ancient Life Tree only bears one fruit each time.

And what it bears is not just an appearance like the Ginseng Fruit, but it will nurture a true Innate Deity.

"To be able to nurture an Innate Deity every Yuan Hui, it truly lives up to the name of Ancient Life Tree!"

Cihang couldn't help but exclaim with joy.

Because of the Ancient Life Tree, the Innate Deities it nurtures in the future will have a subordinate relationship with Cihang, and there will be no possibility of betrayal.

Although the world does not lack Innate Deities now, as the world evolves and perfects, Innate beings will appear less and less.

But he, Cihang, does not have to worry about this problem; he will have a group of disciples composed of Innate Deities.

A Yuan Hui may seem long, but it is only 129,600 years.

It's impressive that an Innate Deity, even a low-grade one, could be nurtured in such a short time, which speaks to the Ancient Life Tree's power.

Keep in mind, some cultivators might spend tens of thousands of years, or even longer, in a single period of seclusion.

"However, these are merely external factors. One's own cultivation and strength are the true foundation!"

"Now that everything is in place, it's time to receive the inheritance and deduce cultivation techniques."

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Cihang waved his hand and condensed a lotus platform of Dharmic power in the Divine Water Lake.

He leaped onto the lotus platform and began his secluded cultivation and enlightenment beneath the Ancient Life Tree.

Cihang immediately began to comprehend the Great Dao of Life contained within the Spiritual Root.

In an instant, Cihang was immersed in the boundless Great Dao of Life.

The power of vitality circulated endlessly between him and the Ancient Life Tree.

Cihang's consciousness seemed to wander through an ocean of laws, where every drop of seawater and every ray of light contained infinite profound mysteries.

Even with Cihang's Innate body, understanding these Great Daos was obscure and difficult.

At first, he persisted in comprehending the Great Dao, but as time slowly passed, Cihang involuntarily relaxed.

He no longer deliberately comprehended but instead merged into it, changing his aura to match the Great Dao of Life.

Cihang also involuntarily transformed into his White Lotus True Body, rooting himself in the Three Lights Divine Water.

The essence that was exposed transformed and fell into the spiritual pond, evolving into numerous spirit-infused lotuses.

Time flowed slowly, and the original Divine Water Lake completely evolved into a lotus pond.

Countless lotuses bloomed in profusion, surrounding the giant Eight-grade White Lotus in the center.

Suddenly, the energies of heaven and earth converged, and endless Life Essence flowed towards the White Lotus, all of which was devoured by it.

The Innate White Lotus suddenly detached from the lotus pond, scattering immeasurable holy light in the air, and a rich lotus fragrance spread to every corner of space.

"Bang!"

The originally closed lotus suddenly bloomed, abruptly rising to the Ninth Grade level.

A sacred radiance erupted, and Cihang, clad in a white holy robe, descended from mid-air.

"A Top-grade Innate Deity, what an unexpected delight!"

Cihang joyfully felt the changes within himself.

He had not broken through any realms this time, but his innate aptitude had advanced to the level of a Top-grade Innate Deity.

Along with it, his strength and foundation had more than doubled.

"Compared to the advancement in aptitude, this comprehension of inheritance is a mixed bag!"

Cihang looked at the Ancient Life Tree with a complex expression.
