Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure - Northern Profound Origin Water Control Banner

"What a tremendous fortune."

"What a great opportunity."

Upon the stone platform.

A seven-inch, profound black banner emanated innate, indestructible spiritual light.

Billions of true waters encircled its form.

This was precisely the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Northern Profound Origin Water Control Banner.

When this banner unfurled, it encompassed a hazy Heaven and Earth, capable of obscuring the sun and moon, repelling all evil, and rendering all methods ineffective.

It could also condense the true waters of Heaven and Earth, making it a Supreme Treasure for the Water Element path.

"Pangu was nurtured by chaos."

"The Chaos Green Lotus shattered into pieces from the moment of creation; its lotus leaves transformed into the Five Elements Banners."

"The Central Earth Yellow Banner and the Southern Flame Light Banner are with the Jade Pure Daoist and the Grand Pure Daoist, respectively."

"The Eastern Green Lotus Treasure Banner was refined by Daoist Jieyin into a protective Supreme Treasure, while the Western Plain Cloud Realm Banner was bestowed by Ancestor Hongjun upon the leader of the female immortals, Empress Golden Mother of West Kunlun."

"I never expected the Northern Profound Origin Water Control Banner to be hidden here."

"Truly a grand opportunity, a great fortune."

Zhou Yuan clapped his hands in admiration.

He reached out his hand.

And grasped the profound black banner.

He faintly felt a sense of closeness.

"As a Supreme Treasure of the Water Element path, it is destined to be with this Daoist."

The last time he felt this way was when the Heavenly Machine Chessboard came to him.

Zhou Yuan put away the Profound Origin Water Control Banner.

His gaze then fell upon the string of profound black pearls, which emitted a five-colored radiance.

Within each pearl, it seemed worlds were rising and falling.

These were none other than the Twelve Sea-Calming Pearls.

"Each individual pearl is a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, but twelve together form a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure."

"Twenty-four would be a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure."

"If one could gather thirty-six, they might possess the might of an Innate Supreme Treasure."

Zhou Yuan frowned, unsure in his heart.

However, the other twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls were currently with the Upper Pure Daoist.

The Three Pure Ones were one entity, and he, a mere Grand Unity, could not scheme against them.

"But there might be a way in the future."

If he could use thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls to open up thirty-six Heavens, he might achieve something.

With that thought, Zhou Yuan waved his hand and stored the Twelve Sea-Calming Pearls into his sleeve.

After collecting these two Innate Spiritual Treasures, he looked again at the stone platform before him, which was permeated with chaotic energy.

His divine sense swept over it, but it could not penetrate the platform in the slightest.

"What material is this?"

Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up.

He surmised that this object was also extraordinary.

A Chaos Strange Stone, it could serve as a superior material for artifact refining.

After taking away this Chaos Stone Platform.

There was nothing left in this place.

The Innate Profound Origin One Qi Myriad Waters Great Array was an innate grand formation that came with the Northern Profound Origin Water Control Banner.

Now that the nexus of the formation had been taken by Zhou Yuan, the grand formation naturally collapsed.

Following that, Zhou Yuan transformed into a stream of light.

And returned to the Yunmeng Dragon Palace.

Within the Yunmeng Dragon Palace.

Zhou Yuan sat cross-legged on a futon in the water mansion, his eyes filled with contemplation.

"Now, the Four Seas Dragon Clan has refocused their attention on the primordial Four Rivers water veins."

"There are quite a few old fossils within the Four Seas."

"It seems joining the Demon Clan was the right move."

"However, I still need to carefully consider how to use the Demon Clan, this tiger, to fight against the Four Seas Dragon Palace, that true dragon."

"The balance in this is not easy to strike."

Countless thoughts flashed through his deep, dark eyes, eventually settling into a calm expression.

Ultimately, it's still a lack of strength...

"These two white dragons in the Yunmeng Marsh are direct descendants of the Four Seas Dragon Palace."

"Perhaps I can tamper with them."

But how to control them is another problem.

There are many methods in the Primordial Era.

Ao Sheng and Ao Lin are from the Four Seas Dragon Clan, direct descendants of true dragons. If I want them to betray their own and work for me...

Ordinary methods probably won't achieve the goal.

"But it's not impossible."

With that thought, Zhou Yuan took out a jade slip.

This was one of Tianshui Dao Lord's treasures.

The inheritance of a powerful figure from the Western Demonic Path.

It contained a secret technique to refine a demonic Supreme Treasure.

[Nine Nether Profound Yin Myriad Spirits Banner]

"The Myriad Spirits Banner is composed of a Banner Spirit, ten Main Souls, and immeasurable Yin Souls."

"Inside the banner is a small world."

"Any living being, as long as its soul enters the banner, will have its life and death beyond its control."

"It will also overturn their past perceptions."

"Even if they retain their own thoughts and emotions, their loyalty to the banner master will override everything."

"Furthermore, the ten Grand Unity Main Souls can use the Myriad Spirits Banner to gather power onto the Banner Spirit, giving the Banner Spirit the power of a pseudo-Innate Dao Lord."

Theoretically.

If ten Innate Dao Lords were to enter the banner.

This banner could even reverse its innate nature.

The Banner Spirit could, through some unseen power, possess the strength of a quasi-Saint supreme being.

One had to admit, the demonic titan who created this secret refining technique was quite talented.

"Although Tianshui Dao Lord coveted this secret treasure."

"Firstly, the refining technique is easy to learn but hard to master, and secondly, as the ruler of an Imperial Dynasty, he had to maintain some semblance of dignity."

"Thus, the refinement of this item was put on hold."

If his Dao Body hadn't been slain by Zhou Yuan.

The reincarnated Tianshui Dao Lord would likely have found a way to refine this secret treasure himself.

"Now, the materials he gathered have become a benefit to me."

Zhou Yuan had no particular aversion to the Demonic Path.

Techniques are neither good nor evil; it depends on the user.

Since Zhou Yuan had made his decision.

He immediately browsed the jade slip with his divine sense.

"Indeed, easy to learn but hard to master."

But that's okay.

I have an external brain.

Activate, my great wisdom.

Dao essence erupted.

On the Myriad Dao Book, the Three Thousand Great Daos and Eight Hundred Side Paths flickered with vital energy.

The information from the jade slip transformed into golden runes, imprinting themselves onto the Myriad Dao Book.

Then, the Myriad Dao Book converted it into new information, inputting it into Zhou Yuan's Primordial Spirit.

Vaguely, indistinctly.

Zhou Yuan's scalp tingled.

He felt as if something was trying to burst out from his brain.

"Hoo~"

After an unknown amount of time.

Zhou Yuan let out a long breath of stale air.

Sparkles of wisdom flickered in his eyes.

"This isn't that difficult either!"

He felt like he had learned it.

"Using the snow silk woven by the Innate Divine Silkworm as the banner surface."

"Using the main trunk of the Innate Spiritual Root Ghost-faced Scholar Tree as the banner pole."

"And then dyeing the banner surface with the Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits."

"..."

Zhou Yuan placed the various materials into the bronze artifact-refining furnace one by one according to the steps.

He formed hand seals and chanted incantations.

Golden-red runes were continuously struck into the furnace by him.

After forty-nine years, seven times seven, had passed.

He wiped the sweat that wasn't there from his forehead.

His eyes shone as brightly as daylight.

"Only the last step remains."

With that, Zhou Yuan lightly brushed his sleeve.

A mass of blood-red, supremely yin, supremely evil, supremely mysterious, and supremely dark energy appeared in the void.

In a daze, Zhou Yuan seemed to see endless evil spirits and malevolent fiends lunging at him.

"How dare mere illusions disturb my mind."

Zhou Yuan let out a light shout, and his vision returned to clarity.

"This mass of Yin Sha Qi does not belong to the Tianshui Dao Lord."

"Instead, it was left behind by that demonic path titan who perished during the great tribulation."

This item was even classified as Innate.

He didn't know where he found such an evil Yin Sha Qi.

"I still need to deal with this thing."

"Otherwise, if it's rashly refined into the Myriad Spirits Banner and erupts, there's a risk of the banner being destroyed."

The final step in refining the Myriad Spirits Banner was to incorporate the Yin Sha Qi as the Banner Spirit.

If it were the reincarnated Tianshui Dao Lord, he would definitely use ordinary Yin Sha Qi as the Banner Spirit.

After all, if he used this Innate Yin Sha as the Banner Spirit and failed, all the previous efforts would be in vain.

These materials were collected by the Tianshui Dao Lord, who controlled the Tianshui Imperial Dynasty, over several Yuan Hui.

Some materials were even exchanged for in the Three Sovereigns Hall.

He didn't have the energy or time to go through it all again.

"But I'm different. According to the refining method deduced from the Myriad Dao Book, all I need to do is dispel the darkness within this Innate Yin Sha Qi."

Thinking this, Zhou Yuan's mind stirred.

The Crimson Bright Profound Sky Golden Lamp flickered with light.
