Cultivation is fundamentally about constant attempts and breakthroughs.

Cihang wished to forge his own path, so naturally, he couldn't completely follow in the footsteps of his predecessors.

The greatest difference between an Innate Spiritual Treasure and a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure isn't their power, but the fundamental laws within them.

What cultivators value most is their ability to aid in cultivation.

Possessing an Innate Spiritual Treasure with compatible attributes can absolutely help a cultivator achieve twice the results with half the effort.

Some cultivators even change their Dao path because of Spiritual Treasures.

A cultivator's own energy and comprehension are ultimately limited; cultivating and attaining enlightenment also requires resources.

Innate Spiritual Treasures are the best auxiliary resources.

Just like Cihang, refining the Earth Spirit Pearl directly greatly increased his comprehension of the earth element.

However, generally speaking, Innate Spiritual Treasures primarily aid in enlightenment and don't significantly improve the physical body.

Furthermore, after a Spiritual Treasure recognizes its master, it's usually stored in the inner world's Sea of Consciousness and doesn't truly integrate with the body.

They also completely suppress the Spiritual Treasure's power, so as not to harm themselves.

But Cihang intended to unleash the Spiritual Treasure's sharpness, allowing his physical body to adapt to its power.

And he would use the Spiritual Treasure's might to nurture his body, thereby increasing its physical strength.

Although Cihang possessed an innate body, its strength was still incomparable to a true Spiritual Treasure.

Especially his relatively fragile internal organs.

This was equivalent to Cihang enduring the Spiritual Treasure's attack without any resistance.

Through Cihang's continuous attempts, the Earth Spirit Pearl gradually merged with the essence and qi of his internal organs.

Then, Cihang swallowed the pearl in one gulp, and it circulated throughout his body along his meridians and blood essence.

"Ah!"

The intense pain caused Cihang to cry out.

Even though he had tried his best to restrain it, the pearl's power was still constantly stimulating his meridians.

Even a Golden Immortal's physical body couldn't withstand the impact of a Spiritual Treasure.

Wherever the Earth Spirit Pearl passed, Cihang's meridians were covered in cracks.

Maintaining consciousness with his powerful will, Cihang quickly circulated the Demonic God Body Refining Technique, using the Five Elements Creation power within his body to restore his meridians.

A surge of creation and vitality also flowed in from outside the divine hall, following the pearl to repair the damaged meridians.

Only then was he barely able to keep up with the pearl's destructive speed.

Cihang endured the excruciating pain, circulating the Earth Spirit Pearl again and again, making his meridians adapt to it.

Through this process of destruction and rebuilding, Cihang's meridians became more resilient and powerful, imbued with a trace of the Earth Spirit Pearl's innate aura.

Only when his meridians had completely adapted to the Earth Spirit Pearl did Cihang carefully guide the pearl into his internal organs.

Even for a cultivator, the internal organs are the most fragile and difficult to improve.

But it was precisely because of this that Cihang devised the method of cultivating by integrating a Spiritual Treasure into his body.

In just an instant, intense pain spread throughout his body, as if his soul were being torn apart.

"Dong, dong, dong!"

Cihang's heart pounded rapidly.

His blood essence circulated at high speed, evolving into vital qi to repair his nearly shattered internal organs.

In his Sea of Consciousness, the Glazed Pure Vase tilted, and drop by drop, Three Lights Divine Water fell, transforming into a cool stream that flowed through his entire body, healing the wounds left by the Earth Spirit Pearl.

At this moment, Cihang's face was already pale, his features contorted subtly.

Yet, he did not give up, slowly releasing the Earth Spirit Pearl's power, his internal organs continuously suffering damage.

The Three Lights Divine Water, however, followed closely behind, rapidly healing the injuries to his internal organs.

Gradually, his internal organs' capacity to withstand the strain grew stronger, and they too began to emit streaks of yellow light.

The pervasive pain also slowly lessened.

Knowing that his internal organs could now withstand the pearl's power, Cihang guided the pearl into his spleen.

In an instant, a dense radiance emanated from his spleen, continuously strengthening the intensity of Cihang's internal organs.

"Dong, dong, dong!"

His heart beat even more violently, and Cihang circulated his blood essence to its limit.

"Bang!"

With another muffled sound, empowered by the Earth Spirit Pearl, Cihang's physical body once again broke through its limits, advancing to the late stage of Golden Immortal.

After a long while, Cihang opened his eyes, still feeling a sense of lingering fear.

Cihang had anticipated the difficulty of this spiritual integration into his body.

He was relying on the Three Lights Divine Water, which could quickly heal all injuries, to dare to take the risk.

But even so, the pervasive intense pain almost made him lose his mind.

"Fortunately, all the effort was worth it, and refining spirit into the body is also feasible!"

Cihang once again showed a joyful smile.

This time, refining the Earth Spirit Pearl into his body directly pushed his physical body to the late stage of Golden Immortal.

It also clarified the path for future cultivation of his physical body.

As long as he continued to refine the Five Elements Spiritual Treasures, his physical body would have a smooth path before reaching Grand Unity.

Moreover, after being tempered by the Earth Spirit Pearl, it would be very simple to integrate another spiritual treasure next time, and he wouldn't have to endure such pain.

Of course, the prerequisite was to find the Innate Five Spirit Pearls.

Although other Five Elements Spiritual Treasures would also work, they were ultimately not as connected in aura as the Five Spirit Pearls.

In the future, he could even use the fusion of the Five Elements to break through to Grand Unity in his physical body in one fell swoop.

Originally, he had a casual attitude towards the Five Spirit Pearls.

But now that it concerned his cultivation, he was determined to obtain the Five Spirit Pearls.

"Let's try to sense the other spirit pearls!"

Cihang's mind stirred, and the Earth Spirit Pearl appeared in his hand. He activated it with his spiritual power and sensed the location of the other spirit pearls with all his might.

The Earth Spirit Pearl suddenly shone brightly, and invisible waves spread out beyond Buzhou Mountain.

Time slowly passed, and only when Cihang's magical power was almost exhausted did he manage to sense a faint response.

The Earth Spirit Pearl suddenly flashed and re-entered Cihang's body.

"To the west, is it the Gold Spirit Pearl?"

Cihang only sensed that it was roughly in the west, and at a very distant location.

Limited by his cultivation, he had not fully refined the Earth Spirit Pearl, so his perception was very vague.

"It's difficult to improve a cultivator in a short time, but accelerating the refinement of the Earth Spirit Pearl is possible!"

Cihang didn't rush to search for treasures but planned to further refine the Earth Spirit Pearl.

However, before that, Cihang took out the Creation Cauldron from the side hall.

After a thousand years of tempering, the Feather Spirit had also fallen into a deep sleep, beginning its first bloodline transformation.

Inspired by the Earth Spirit Pearl, Cihang discovered that spiritual treasures, in addition to helping with enlightenment, could also better assist in cultivation.

The Glazed Pure Vase did not change much; it remained in his sea of consciousness, guarding his true spirit, and at the same time, it used the spiritual treasure's Dao rhythm to nourish his true spirit and primordial spirit.

The Creation Cauldron was refined by Cihang into his middle dantian, gathering the essence and qi within his body and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to further temper his magical power.

While tempering his magical power, it also imbued the magical power itself with a trace of the intent of creation, further enhancing the foundation of his magical power.

At the same time, the Creation Cauldron could continuously radiate the power of creation, slowly nourishing his physical body.

And there was another benefit: it could accelerate the refinement of spiritual treasures.

Even if Cihang didn't actively refine it, his magical power and essence would slowly refine the Creation Cauldron, deepening Cihang's primordial spirit imprint.

The same principle applied to the Earth Spirit Pearl.

However, Cihang could wait for it to be refined slowly; the sooner the Five Spirit Pearls were obtained, the more beneficial it would be for him.

Cihang immediately calmed his mind and began to fully refine the Earth Spirit Pearl.

As it was only a mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, it was much easier to refine.

Coupled with the constant nourishment from his physical body's blood essence, it further accelerated the refinement time.

But even so, by the time Cihang completely refined it, a thousand years had already passed.

Perhaps because he had integrated the spiritual treasure into his body, Cihang had a deeper connection with the Earth Spirit Pearl.

Looking at the innate divine restrictions within the spirit pearl, he always felt a sense of unfinished meaning.

"Could this Earth Spirit Pearl have other secrets?"

Cihang did not directly exit seclusion but continued to circulate his spiritual power and mind, continuously refining the core of the spiritual treasure.
