Spirit Pearl Contains Grotto-Heaven, Innate Human Race

Innate Spiritual Treasures are conceived at the dawn of heaven and earth, formed from the remnants of chaos fused with the laws of heaven and earth.

They are entirely nurtured by heaven and earth, with their Innate Divine Seals being naturally formed.

Even a low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure is a perfect whole, without the slightest flaw.

But the Earth Spirit Pearl is different; Cihang always felt that the seals within the spirit pearl were incomplete.

This was not due to it being part of a set of spiritual treasures, but because the Earth Spirit Pearl itself was flawed.

No matter how Cihang investigated, the Earth Spirit Pearl's feedback was that it was meant to be this way.

Even the spirit treasure's nascent consciousness was incomplete.

It was as if it were concealing something.

This Earth Spirit Pearl was by no means just a mid-grade spiritual treasure; it held unknown secrets.

With this discovery, Cihang was even less inclined to leave seclusion. Instead, he continuously refined the spirit pearl, which had already fully recognized him as its master.

Secrets often implied great opportunities, but also potential crises.

However, since the Earth Spirit Pearl had already recognized him as its master, he could not afford to carry uncertain dangers.

Now that he had made a discovery, whether good or bad, he had to ascertain its true nature.

As Cihang continued to refine it, a powerful force of resistance suddenly emanated from the core of the spiritual treasure.

"So it does have secrets? A fully refined spiritual treasure shouldn't have such consciousness!"

Cihang became even more certain of his guess. Within the core seals of this spiritual treasure, there was an extremely powerful seal.

This seal was incredibly potent and could not be refined by mere magical power.

With a flash of thought, the Creation Cauldron was summoned, pouring out an endless stream of Creation Holy Fire.

Under Cihang's control, the Creation Holy Fire directly began to forge the seal.

At the same time, Cihang did not dare to be careless and mobilized the power of his Grotto-Heaven.

While strengthening the concealment of his Grotto-Heaven, he also secretly gathered his strength, guarding against the unknown dangers behind the seal.

The more powerful the seal, the more extraordinary the thing hidden behind it.

He could not afford to relax until he determined whether it was an opportunity or a danger.

The strength of the seal also exceeded Cihang's expectations.

Even under the Creation Holy Fire, it only showed slight fluctuations before quickly returning to normal.

Seeing this, Cihang gritted his teeth and poured his magical power into the Creation Cauldron without reservation.

While forging the seals with the holy fire, the Creation Cauldron itself also smashed down with a roar.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Under the full assault of the Creation Cauldron, thunderous roars erupted from the Earth Spirit Pearl.

Sensing danger, the seals within the spirit pearl also self-activated, preparing to attack the Creation Cauldron in the next instant.

"Still!"

Seeing this, Cihang quickly stabilized the Innate Divine Seal and forcibly controlled the spirit pearl's seals to jointly impact the core seal.

With such a powerful attack, Cihang's magical power was rapidly depleted.

To break through the seal, Cihang continuously used the Three Lights Divine Water to restore his magical power.

Even so, it took a hundred years to completely break the seal.

"Boom!"

As soon as the seal shattered, a massive spiritual energy storm erupted, directly shaking Cihang's divine sense and the Creation Cauldron out of the spirit pearl.

After retrieving the Creation Cauldron, Cihang found that the Earth Spirit Pearl had become even brighter.

However, when facing the Earth Spirit Pearl, he also felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

This was clearly not the state of a fully recognized spiritual treasure.

With lingering doubt, Cihang sent his divine sense into the Earth Spirit Pearl again.

The storm within the spirit pearl had subsided and did not continue to attack Cihang, but the spirit pearl's appearance had changed drastically.

The original twenty-four Innate Divine Seals had now evolved into thirty-six.

The origin within the spirit pearl had also surged nearly a hundredfold.

"No wonder I felt that unfamiliarity. The Earth Spirit Pearl is not a mid-grade spiritual treasure, but a high-grade spiritual treasure with thirty-six seals!

But who sealed the origin of the Earth Spirit Pearl?

If the Earth Spirit Pearl is like this, are the other five spirit pearls also the same?"

Lost in thought, Cihang's gaze was once again drawn to a ball of light at the center of the seals.

"A spiritual treasure space? Or a Grotto-Heaven?"

Without further hesitation, Cihang willed it, and appeared in a space spanning millions of miles.

The entire space was filled with dense Innate Earth Spirit Qi, with even the sun being a manifestation of the Earth Spirit's origin.

At the center of the earth, there was a giant pine tree, constantly absorbing and releasing Innate Spiritual Qi.

"A Grotto-Heaven? An Upper-grade Innate Spiritual Root?"

Despite being only a million miles in size, this was indeed a Grotto-Heaven, and it possessed an Upper-grade Innate Spiritual Root.

"How could this be?"

Cihang's doubts grew heavier. This Earth Spirit Pearl did not seem like an unclaimed item.

Furthermore, although this Grotto-Heaven was small, there were living beings within it.

"Heavenly God, it's a Heavenly God!"

"A Heavenly God has truly descended!"

"We haven't been abandoned; a Heavenly God has descended!"

"We pay our respects to the Heavenly God!"

Just as Cihang was about to investigate the living beings within this tribulation, a group of people had already knelt down beneath the giant spiritual root.

Humans, yes, they were humans!

They were not transformed beasts from the Demon Race or other exotic creatures; they were humans who possessed Innate Dao Bodies from birth.

But how was this possible? Weren't humans created by Nuwa when she achieved sainthood?

Did humans exist in the Great Desolation this early?

Then why were they trapped within this Spiritual Treasure?

And "Heavenly God"? What an ancient term.

Only before the rise of the Immortal Dao was "Heavenly God" a common term among cultivators.

These humans were even more ancient than he had imagined.

Although Cihang's expression remained unchanged, his heart was already in turmoil.

Everything he had always known was being shattered.

"All of you, rise. Who is the clan leader? Step forward and speak."

Cihang landed beside the sacrificial altar beneath the spiritual root, waving his hand to help up the bowing crowd.

If he wanted to uncover the secrets here, he had to start with these humans.

"This junior is the clan leader of the Earth Spirit Tribe. Does the Heavenly God have any commands?"

A white-haired old man stepped forward and respectfully prostrated himself.

"The Earth Spirit Tribe? Rise. Tell me, how did you come to be here, and how long have you been living here?"

Cihang noticed that although these humans were filled with Innate Qi, they possessed no cultivation.

"Reporting to the Heavenly God, our Earth Spirit Tribe has resided in this Earth Spirit Realm for generations. As for exactly when we appeared here, Huang Yan does not know.

However, according to legend, the main world underwent a change, and the Heavenly God sent us into the Earth Spirit Realm to protect our Earth Spirit Tribe.

It was also said that when another Heavenly God descends, it will be time for us to return to the main world?"

Huang Yan, the clan leader of the Earth Spirit Tribe, cautiously and respectfully answered Cihang's questions.

"Heavenly God? Which Heavenly God was it? And what else? What exactly happened in the main world?"

Cihang frowned slightly. The Earth Spirit's words were of no help.

The only thing he could confirm was that this Earth Spirit Pearl was likely born in the Primordial Era.

But the events of that era were secrets within the Great Desolation, as if shrouded in a mist that prevented cultivators from investigating.

"The time is too long ago; Huang Yan knows nothing else!"

Seeing Cihang frown, Huang Yan and the other tribe members became extremely uneasy.

"Then, does the tribe have any inherited items, preferably passed down from the very first generation?"

Cihang did not make things difficult for them and instead inquired about inherited items.

"If you speak of the most ancient inherited items, it would be this ancient tree and the sacrificial altar!"

Huang Yan pointed to the spiritual root and the sacrificial altar before them.

"Since that is the case, I will be in seclusion here to calculate some matters. Do not approach this place!"

Seeing that he could not elicit any more information, Cihang directly instructed Huang Yan to lead the tribe members away.
