Heaven Origin!

The process of sculpting a spirit was incredibly wondrous. As Fang Wang envisioned the sword-shaped natal treasure spirit he desired, he entered a peculiar state of introspection. He saw a black region appear within his body, where fierce flames burned, gradually condensing into the form of a sword.

Fang Wang focused his attention on this sword. At this moment, his thoughts seemed to transform into invisible hands, capable of touching the sword.

As he became immersed, the flames surrounding him surged towards his head, coalescing into a fireball.

Guang Qiuxian, Yang Yuanzi, and Zhou Xingshi stood watching in the corridor.

"The cultivation method your disciple is practicing is no simple matter. This is the first time I've seen such scorching spiritual energy," Guang Qiuxian exclaimed in admiration.

Yang Yuanzi remained silent, as he didn't know much about Fang Wang.

Zhou Xingshi recalled the battle before Fang Wang's initiation. He had only exchanged a single palm strike with Fang Wang and spent a full month recovering from his injuries. Even now, the memory sent a shiver down his spine.

The joy of sculpting a Mysterious Origin treasure spirit had already faded. He stared at the nascent treasure spirit above Fang Wang's head, his intuition telling him that Fang Wang's treasure spirit would surely surpass his own.

Being able to sweep aside him and fifty other cultivators at the seventh level of the Qi Nurturing Realm, he couldn't be sure what kind of natal treasure spirit Fang Wang would sculpt.

He had heard many legends of geniuses within his family, but Fang Wang was the most terrifying genius he had ever encountered.

Setting aside his strength, this brat was only at the seventh level of the Qi Nurturing Realm a few months ago, and now he was sculpting a spirit…

Zhou Xingshi's heart trembled, and his gaze towards Fang Wang became increasingly complex.

Time slowly passed.

Half an hour later.

The treasure spirit above Fang Wang's head had already taken a preliminary sword shape. The surrounding flames grew larger, like fiery serpents coiling around his body, causing even the water in the pool to boil and rise in wisps of steam.

Guang Qiuxian stroked his beard and smiled, "At least it's a Mysterious Origin."

Yang Yuanzi's eyes were solemn. "To reach the Mysterious Origin grade at this stage, it's possible it could even reach the Earth Origin grade."

His gaze inadvertently flickered towards Zhou Xingshi, making Zhou Xingshi's heart pound. He suddenly regretted staying to watch, but now, if he wanted to leave, it would be even more impossible.

Guang Qiuxian stared at Fang Wang and said with a proud smile, "After Lord Jiyuan, another Fang Wang has emerged. How can the Taiyuan Sect not prosper?"

Hearing this, Yang Yuanzi shook his head and snorted, "Sect Master, I advise you not to get carried away. Don't forget the tragedy of the Taiqing Sect. The Taiyuan Sect attracts cultivation families with its geniuses, which might lead to jealousy from other sects. One Lu Yuanjun might not cause trouble, but if another one appears, it's not certain."

Guang Qiuxian's smile gradually disappeared upon hearing this.

Hearing this, Zhou Xingshi regretted it even more and began to ponder how to react later.

Time continued to tick by, second by second.

The sword-shaped treasure spirit above Fang Wang's head became increasingly solid, and even fine patterns could be seen. Not only that, but this treasure spirit began to absorb the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

"Earth Origin!"

Guang Qiuxian uttered two words. The ability to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy during spirit sculpting was a characteristic of Earth Origin treasure spirits.

Zhou Xingshi's heart was filled with mixed emotions, and he clenched his fists.

He's such a genius, and he's sculpted an Earth Origin treasure spirit... it's not surprising. Why should I compare myself to him... Zhou Xingshi comforted himself.

Fang Wang's treasure spirit was still condensing, which made Guang Qiuxian unable to remain calm, his brow furrowed.

Yang Yuanzi narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on Fang Wang's natal treasure spirit.

At this moment, Fang Wang was still introspecting about his natal treasure spirit. Within that darkness, his natal treasure spirit had condensed into the sword shape he desired. The sword's hilt and guard seemed to be entwined by a majestic red dragon, exuding an imposing aura.

Holding such a sword, how cool would that be!

Fang Wang was very satisfied with his aesthetic sense. Just as he was admiring his treasure spirit, he suddenly sensed something and his vision instinctively moved upwards.

He saw a bright light appear in the darkness above. His Celestial Palace had manifested!

What is this...?

Just as Fang Wang was confused, the gate of the Celestial Palace suddenly opened, and a beam of light shot out, striking his natal treasure spirit head-on.

His sword-shaped treasure spirit instantly vanished. Simultaneously, in the outside world, Guang Qiuxian and the other two saw the treasure spirit above Fang Wang's head suddenly explode, and a wave of fire spread out.

Guang Qiuxian raised his hand, using his own spiritual power to block the surging fire wave. His brow was tightly furrowed, and disappointment flickered in his eyes.

Yang Yuanzi frowned deeply and said in a low voice, "It failed? How is that possible? Only Yellow Origin treasure spirits can fail during sculpting..."

Zhou Xingshi felt a mix of surprise and regret upon seeing this. For such a prodigy to fail in sculpting his spirit was like falling from the heavens to the earth. Deep down, he had been looking forward to seeing how powerful Fang Wang would become after sculpting his spirit. If he had succeeded, perhaps he would have witnessed the rise of a contemporary legend.

What a pity!

In his introspective state, Fang Wang stared at the Celestial Palace, stunned.

What happened?

Why did the Celestial Palace destroy his treasure spirit?

At this moment, he panicked. Although the Celestial Palace was present, there must be a way out, but he didn't want to play the role of the weak hiding their strength. Within the Taiyuan Sect, the natal treasure spirit determined one's aptitude and treatment.

Just as Fang Wang was at a loss, the gate of the Celestial Palace did not close. Light emanated from within, growing increasingly dazzling.

"What is that..."

Fang Wang gazed at the bright light within the Celestial Palace and vaguely saw a blurry figure.

"It failed!"

Guang Qiuxian said in a deep voice, his face full of disappointment. He gave Fang Wang a deep look, turned around, and prepared to leave.

Just then, he suddenly felt something and turned around sharply.

Flames surged into the pupils of the three people's eyes. They saw the flames surrounding Fang Wang erupt, his robes turning to ash, the water in the pool evaporating at an astonishing speed, and a surge of heat filling the corridors of Shiyuan Hall.

Yang Yuanzi was moved, and Zhou Xingshi's eyes widened.

Under the gaze of the three, Fang Wang had transformed into a man of fire, the raging flames surging towards his head and condensing together.

"This is... re-condensing a treasure spirit? How is that possible!"

Yang Yuanzi cried out, unable to maintain his composure any longer.

Guang Qiuxian seemed to realize something, his pupils dilating. He took a deep breath and said, "Legend has it that when condensing a natal treasure spirit, a phenomenon of Nirvana Rebirth may occur. This often appears in peerless prodigies. A natal treasure spirit that can undergo Nirvana Rebirth... is destined by heaven!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Zhou Xingshi beside him, only to see a black fan condensing above Zhou Xingshi's head.

"My treasure spirit... why isn't it under my control..."

Zhou Xingshi asked in panic, his gaze involuntarily turning to Guang Qiuxian, hoping for help from the Sect Master.

However, Guang Qiuxian ignored him. He merely glanced at him before shifting his gaze back to Fang Wang in the pool.

Meanwhile.

Gu Li, who was meditating in her cave dwelling, suddenly opened her eyes. She looked up, her delicate brows furrowed. A silver longsword appeared above her head.

That was her natal treasure spirit!

"What's going on..."

Gu Li murmured to herself, a sense of unease inexplicably filling her heart, for she couldn't recall her natal treasure spirit. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation since sculpting her spirit.

It wasn't just her. The Spirit Sculpting Realm disciples flying among the Taiyuan Sect's peaks were also experiencing the same thing. Their natal treasure spirits were condensing above their heads. Some disciples stopped, looking either nervous or fearful.

Inside Shiyuan Hall.

The firelight illuminated the faces of Guang Qiuxian, Yang Yuanzi, and Zhou Xingshi. All three were in shock, unable to remain calm.

Yang Yuanzi gritted his teeth and said, "My natal treasure spirit is also afraid..."

Guang Qiuxian's face darkened, and he remained silent, but his heart was also extremely unsettled.

They saw that within the raging flames above Fang Wang's head, the form of a divine weapon was gradually condensing. It wasn't a sword, but a long weapon!

At this moment, Fang Wang also saw the long weapon in his inner vision.

Darkness shattered, and his consciousness flickered. He suddenly felt his feet touch the ground. He opened his eyes and was stunned to find himself in the Celestial Palace.

A halberd nearly ten feet long stood before him. A faint, ethereal dragon coiled around it. The sides of the halberd head were inlaid with curved blades, each about a third of the halberd's length. Between the two blades was a dragon-shaped shaft, like a divine dragon curled up, its mouth open to the sky, spewing out the blade. The tail of the halberd was like a short sword, extremely sharp. The shaft was black, emitting a faint glow.

What a majestic halberd!

Fang Wang subconsciously raised his hand to grasp it. In an instant, the True Mysterious Sun Fire within his body surged out, coiling around the halberd. The blades on its head and the double blades ignited with flames, and even the sharp blade at the tail was engulfed in flames. Lines of flames covered the shaft, adding color to this battle halberd and making it even more divine.

The moment he held the long halberd, Fang Wang inexplicably sensed it, as if it were a part of his body.

A strong emotion urged him to name the halberd. He slowly voiced his thoughts: "Celestial Palace Halberd!"

Named after the Celestial Palace!

In an instant, his consciousness returned to reality, and his body instinctively stood up.

Under the watchful eyes of Guang Qiuxian and the other two, Fang Wang, enveloped in raging flames, stood up, grasping the halberd-shaped treasure spirit above his head with his right hand. At this moment, his posture was like that of a war god, standing tall and mighty, a completely different person from before.

Yang Yuanzi couldn't help but turn to Guang Qiuxian and ask, "Mysterious Origin treasure spirits have Mysterious Light, Earth Origin treasure spirits can devour Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, so... what rank would a treasure spirit be that undergoes Nirvana Rebirth and causes other natal treasure spirits to fear it?"

He had a vague guess in his heart but dared not voice it.

Guang Qiuxian stared intently at Fang Wang's posture and uttered two words: "Heaven Origin!"

Zhou Xingshi was dumbfounded, standing frozen in place, not noticing the murderous gaze Yang Yuanzi cast his way.

At the same time, all the flames around Fang Wang surged into the Celestial Palace Halberd, revealing his figure. The ten-foot-long Celestial Palace Halberd looked extremely imposing in his hand.

Fang Wang then planted the tail of the Celestial Palace Halberd on the bottom of the pool. A terrifying wave of energy swept out, forcing Guang Qiuxian to act again. This time, even Shiyuan Hall trembled.

"Sect Master, what rank is my treasure spirit?"

Fang Wang looked at Guang Qiuxian and asked, suppressing his excitement. He could clearly feel the Spiritual Energy within him boiling, its very essence transforming.

Spirit Sculpting Realm!

Guang Qiuxian stared at the Celestial Palace Halberd and said, "Above Earth Origin treasure spirits. As for its specific rank, I don't know either, because I have never seen a Heaven Origin treasure spirit..."

His gaze then shifted sideways to Zhou Xingshi.

Sensing the killing intent, Zhou Xingshi jolted awake. He took two steps back and hurriedly said, "I... I absolutely won't say anything!"
