Injuries Fully Recovered, Innate Foundation

"I owe you a huge favor this time!"

Cihang looked at Qingniao's retreating back with a helpless wry smile.

He hadn't been feigning refusal earlier; he genuinely didn't want to accept such a generous gift for nothing.

First, she lent him Hundred Flowers Valley, and then she gifted him an Innate Spiritual Fruit. This was no small favor.

However, he accepted her kindness and would find an opportunity to repay it in the future.

Later generations often say that the early Great Desolation was filled with Spiritual Roots and Spiritual Treasures, but in reality, Innate Spiritual Roots and Spiritual Treasures have always been extremely precious.

Unless one had great fortune, ordinary cultivators would rarely even glimpse them.

This showed the value of Qingniao's gift.

It came from Western Kunlun, and with the powerful Queen Mother of the West there, Qingniao was able to obtain such an Innate Spiritual Fruit.

"It's already done. I'll repay you another day!"

Cihang put away the spiritual fruit and descended into Hundred Flowers Valley.

With the Array Law Flag in hand, Cihang was not obstructed and entered Hundred Flowers Valley directly.

As soon as he entered Hundred Flowers Valley, a rich floral fragrance wafted towards him.

The valley was planted with thousands of exotic flowers and rare herbs. Although not Innate Spiritual Roots, they were all extraordinary, truly living up to the name Hundred Flowers Valley.

Qingniao, while not treating this place as her dojo, still valued it greatly.

"There's even a High-grade Spirit Vein here. What a pleasant surprise!"

Sensing the dense spiritual energy in the valley, Cihang revealed a satisfied smile.

"Clear Spirit Jade Bamboo. It's perfect for my temporary recovery spot."

Cihang waved his hand, pointing at the distant bamboo forest. Several spiritual bamboos shot up from the ground, instantly forming an elegant bamboo house.

The remaining spiritual bamboos also shifted their positions, forming a profound formation that surrounded the bamboo house.

Although it couldn't compare to the mountain-protecting formation of Mount Luojia, it was sufficient as a temporary dojo.

After setting up the great formation, Cihang entered the bamboo house.

However, he did not consume the spiritual fruit gifted by Qingniao. Instead, he took out the Glazed Pure Vase.

Compared to Innate Spiritual Fruits, he had a better sacred item for healing: the Three Lights Divine Water from the Glazed Pure Vase.

The Three Lights Divine Water was composed of three divine waters: sunlight, moonlight, and starlight.

These three divine waters were inherently poisonous, targeting a cultivator's physical body, primordial spirit, and true spirit, respectively.

But when the three divine waters were combined, they became a supreme healing sacred item imbued with vitality and creation.

The formation conditions for the Three Lights Divine Water were extremely harsh, making it very rare and precious throughout the Great Desolation.

In terms of preciousness alone, the Three Lights Divine Water was no less valuable than ordinary Spiritual Treasures.

The Glazed Pure Vase itself contained a trace of the law of vitality and creation, and it could generate one drop of Three Lights Divine Water every ten thousand years.

Unfortunately, the Glazed Pure Vase had only been maturing for a little over a hundred thousand years, so there were only a dozen or so drops of Three Lights Divine Water.

Cihang had always cherished it dearly. Despite possessing the divine water, he had never used it.

It was precisely because he had the Glazed Pure Vase and the Three Lights Divine Water that Cihang dared to refuse Yuanshi.

Yuanshi might be angered by his refusal, but even if he were to attack, he would not take his life.

As it turned out, his prediction was correct. Yuanshi did attack, but he still spared his life.

Although Yuanshi's attack was extremely heavy, with Tongtian's intervention, his fundamental essence was not harmed.

However, even with the Three Lights Divine Water, complete recovery would require a stable and peaceful environment.

Now that he had finally settled down, Cihang no longer hesitated and immediately consumed the Three Lights Divine Water.

As soon as the Three Lights Divine Water entered his body, it transformed into a dense essence of creation and vitality, beginning to restore Cihang's body, which was covered in cracks.

Under the effect of the Three Lights Divine Water, Cihang's injuries healed rapidly.

Injuries that would have taken a hundred years to recover were fully healed in just one year with the help of the Three Lights Divine Water.

Cihang's injuries had recovered, but the power of the Three Lights Divine Water was not yet exhausted.

As if sensing Cihang's recovery, the Three Lights Divine Water suddenly split into three beams of light, beginning to strengthen his physical body, primordial spirit, and true spirit separately.

As mentioned before, the Three Lights Divine Water was a poisonous divine water. Sunlight Divine Water dissolved bones and flesh, Moonlight Divine Water corroded the primordial spirit and soul, and Starlight Divine Water devoured the true spirit.

Now, after merging into the Three Lights Divine Water, it began to enhance and temper the physical body, true spirit, and primordial spirit.

With the enhancement of the Three Lights Divine Water, Cihang's aura also rapidly increased.

He was originally at the peak of the mid-stage Mysterious Immortal realm, but with this drop of Three Lights Divine Water, he directly broke through to the late-stage Mysterious Immortal realm. Moreover, after breaking through, his aura was still slowly increasing.

An invisible aura slowly transformed into a phantom white lotus, enveloping Cihang's entire body.

At the same time, a heart-penetrating lotus fragrance emanated, until it was completely blocked within the bamboo forest by the formation.

Cihang was now completely immersed in the state of Innate Gestation, and the white lotus was continuously repairing and perfecting his foundation.

That white lotus was none other than Cihang's true form.

Innate potential was incredibly important for a cultivator. While it couldn't determine everything, it completely widened the gap in cultivation speed between them and ordinary beings.

For example, a top-tier Innate Deity faced no bottlenecks before reaching the Quasi-Saint stage. Even without actively cultivating, they would break through smoothly over time.

Ordinary cultivators, however, had to overcome countless perils with each breakthrough, and many more were unable to break through, remaining trapped by bottlenecks their entire lives.

The tiers of potential were divided into: acquired beings, innate beings, Innate Deities, and Innate God-Demons.

Although Cihang wasn't an Innate God-Demon, he possessed the potential of a High-grade Innate Deity.

During Pangu's creation of the heavens and earth, the three great Chaos Spiritual Treasures suffered calamities. After their destruction, they evolved into the myriad Innate Spiritual Treasures of the Great Desolation.

Pangu's Axe shattered and evolved into three Primordial Supreme Treasures: the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, and the Chaos Bell.

The origin of the Chaos Bead was lost, but most of its fragments evolved into a collection of bead-shaped Spiritual Treasures.

The Chaos Green Lotus transformed and gave rise to the Four Great Lotus Platforms and the Five Directions Heaven and Earth Flags, among other top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Among these, the Twelve-grade World-Purifying White Lotus was destroyed during the creation of heaven and earth, leaving only three great lotus platforms circulating in the Great Desolation.

And his true form, Cihang, was a being born from a fragment of the Twelve-grade World-Purifying White Lotus.

While it couldn't compare to the complete World-Purifying White Lotus, it inherited a portion of its origin and legacy.

If he had the chance to gather the origin of the World-Purifying White Lotus in the future, he too could have the opportunity to improve his potential and ascend to the ranks of Innate God-Demons.

It was precisely because of this that he possessed a companion treasure like the Glazed Pure Vase, a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Time flowed by, and another hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the white lotus in the bamboo house slowly dissipated, transforming into pure primal energy and integrating into Cihang's body. Looking at Cihang's cultivation, he had already reached the Mysterious Immortal Peak realm.

"My injuries have healed, and my cultivation has broken through to Mysterious Immortal Peak. I underestimated the power of the Three Lights Divine Water!"

Opening his eyes, Cihang revealed a look of pleasant surprise.

The effect of the Three Lights Divine Water far exceeded Cihang's expectations during his first time consuming it.

"My first time refining the Three Lights Divine Water? No, that's not right. My memory is incorrect."

Cihang's expression suddenly changed drastically as he realized he had overlooked something important.
