Cihang fled hundreds of thousands of miles before finally settling atop a mountain peak.
Those three Profound Immortals were nothing much, but the Grand Unity expert behind them made Cihang deeply wary.
After setting up a defensive formation, Cihang swallowed a drop of Purple Bamboo Spiritual Liquid to replenish his depleted mana.
A pale violet radiance bloomed, and Cihang's cultivation rapidly recovered.
Cihang himself possessed an Innate Spiritual Root: the Innate Purple Bamboo of Mount Luojia.
Though the Purple Bamboo was merely a low-grade Innate Spiritual Root and bore no spiritual fruit, the spiritual liquid it condensed once every ten thousand years contained immense spiritual energy. It could help cultivators quickly increase their mana and also had considerable healing effects.
With danger lurking on every side, Cihang could not afford to worry about wasting it and directly used the Purple Bamboo Spiritual Liquid to restore his mana.
As the Purple Bamboo Spiritual Liquid was refined, Cihang's mana returned to its peak.
Cihang did not rush to leave seclusion. Instead, he transformed into a streak of light and entered the Glazed Pure Vase.
Though the Glazed Pure Vase was not a spatial treasure, it still contained a treasure space within.
A tri-colored lake spanning a million miles appeared before Cihang.
This was the treasure space within the Glazed Pure Vase. The golden, silver, and violet waters of the lake were formed from the Sunlight, Moonlight, and Starlight Divine Waters.
Though the Three Lights Divine Water had gathered into a lake, the three waters remained clearly distinct from one another.
The three demon generals Cihang had previously taken in were now desperately struggling in the divine water lake.
Yet no matter how they struggled, it was futile. They could not withstand the erosion of the Sunlight, Moonlight, and Starlight Divine Waters.
They were already on the verge of death, and the moment they saw Cihang, their eyes filled with pleading and hope.
Yet they could not even open their mouths to beg for mercy.
Cihang remained utterly unmoved. Instead, he activated the restrictions of the vase. The three divine waters surged, and in mere moments swallowed the three demon generals.
Cihang had not taken them into the vase to spare their lives, but to end that battle as quickly as possible.
Especially after hearing that Chiyan was the son of the Grand Unity Demon King, he had not dared linger any longer.
With his fate so greatly diminished, one misstep could condemn him to eternal damnation.
As for releasing them, that was even more impossible.
From what he knew of the demon clan, if he released them, the next thing awaiting him would be a siege by demon clan experts.
As for those demon soldiers at the Heavenly Immortal and Earthly Immortal realms, they had already been refined the instant they entered the vase.
The Glazed Pure Vase and Willow Branch were treasures that contained Creation and Vitality.
In the memories of the future, he had used these two treasures to save countless people and gained supreme merit.
But everything had two sides, and spiritual treasures were no exception. When Creation and Vitality were reversed, they possessed equally extraordinary power.
After dealing with the demon generals, Cihang arrived on the spiritual island at the center of the divine water lake with a thought.
Unlike the killing intent permeating the divine water lake, this place was filled with Creation and Vitality, and many Acquired Spiritual Roots grew across the island.
At the center of the spiritual island was a spring, where only a dozen or so drops of spiritual water released vitality and creation.
This was the true Three Lights Divine Water.
"Sure enough, is this the fastest way to increase the Three Lights Divine Water?"
Looking at the two additional drops of Three Lights Divine Water, Cihang's expression was unreadable.
Normally, the Glazed Pure Vase could only gather vitality and creation every ten thousand years, fuse the three divine waters, and produce a single drop of Three Lights Divine Water.
But after refining enough Life Essence, it could refine Three Lights Divine Water.
Clearly, the demon clan's Life Essence had fused with the Sunlight, Moonlight, and Starlight Divine Waters to produce these two drops of Three Lights Divine Water.
"This method harms the harmony of heaven too greatly. I only seek control over my own fate, not to truly stop at nothing."
For one brief moment, Cihang had been tempted, but he soon reaffirmed his beliefs.
He would never show the slightest mercy to his enemies, but neither would he take lives without cause.
The prehistoric world might indeed revere strength above all else, but he would still uphold his own bottom line.
"No, someone is outside!"
Just as Cihang was about to inspect the spiritual treasures he had collected, he discovered that the formation outside was under attack.
"Boom, boom, boom."
The moment Cihang appeared inside the bamboo hut, he felt the immense impacts transmitted through the formation.
"So I was still discovered?"
Seeing the demon clan Golden Immortal attacking the formation outside, Cihang frowned.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The attacks continued. It was only a temporary formation, and it could not hold out much longer.
"Detonate!"
Cihang acted decisively. With a thought, he directly detonated the formation.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous explosion, the formation shattered. Though he had prepared for it, Cihang still could not help retreating several steps.
"Damn it! You were the one who killed Chiyan? You have some nerve.
But since you encountered me, Huoyi, today will be your death day!"
Though the formation's self-destruction had failed to deal with his opponent, it had still injured the Golden Immortal.
Cihang did not reply. The Sunlight, Moonlight, and Starlight Divine Waters struck simultaneously, transforming into a curtain of tri-colored rain that rushed toward him.
"Hmph, overestimating yourself! Heavenly Fire Rain!"
Seeing Cihang dare attack him with spiritual water, Huoyi waved his hand, sending a sky full of fiery rain pouring down.
In his eyes, Cihang was merely a trifling Profound Immortal. He did not even need to use his full strength; Cihang might not even be able to withstand this single divine ability.
But reality was completely the opposite. The fire rain filling the sky did not last even a moment. The instant it met the Three Lights Divine Water, it vanished without a trace!
"Ah! What divine ability is this?!"
Huoyi was alarmed and hurriedly summoned the Crimson Feather Umbrella, forming a divine crimson light around himself in defense.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
At the same time, Cihang had already swung the Willow Branch down, sending ripples spreading across the crimson divine light.
Meanwhile, the golden Sunlight Divine Water began continuously battering the Crimson Feather Umbrella.
Each impact from the Sunlight Divine Water caused the Crimson Feather Umbrella to dim further.
Though the Moonlight Divine Water and Starlight Divine Water had not broken through the defense, their soul-devouring power constantly affected Huoyi, throwing his mind into chaos.
Cihang's attacks did not pause for an instant. Vitality and wood spiritual energy gathered, transforming into countless whip shadows that crashed down.
"It's the Three Lights Divine Water! This is the Three Lights Divine Water! Fire Spirit Pearls, go!"
Huoyi suddenly recognized the Three Lights Divine Water, and his expression drastically changed. With a wave of his hand, he summoned seven Fire Spirit Pearls and hurled them through the air at Cihang with all his might.
Knowing the power of the Three Lights Divine Water, he did not dare be careless in the slightest. Only by killing Cihang, its wielder, could he escape the threat of the Three Lights Divine Water.
Cihang raised the Glazed Pure Vase. A flash of tri-colored light swept forth and directly drew the Fire Spirit Pearls into the vase.
If they had been Innate Spiritual Treasures, Cihang might have had some trouble, but they were merely Houtian Spiritual Treasures. How could they break free from the Glazed Pure Vase's restraints?
"Hmph!"
Forced to sever his connection with the spiritual treasures, Huoyi suffered a backlash and let out a pained grunt.
Yet he could not spare any attention for his injuries. Instead, he stared at Cihang in disbelief.
"No, an Innate Spiritual Treasure? How could you possess an Innate Spiritual Treasure?"
"You have no need to know! Take him!"
Taking advantage of Huoyi's distracted mind, Cihang directly drew him into the Glazed Pure Vase.
