Transforming into an Intermediate Innate God

In the Land of the Five Elements' Origin, within the Five Elements Space.

Luo Qing reverted to innate, his mind muddled and unaware of the passage of time.

After an unknown number of years, one day the five elements' vital energy within the entire Five Elements Space suddenly surged.

Within the Five Elements Space, the vital energy of the five elements had more than doubled in density.

The sudden surge of vital energy jolted Luo Qing, who was in a daze, awake.

His consciousness returned, and the divine egg within the core of the fire origin immediately began to vibrate.

With a crisp crack!

A crack appeared on the surface of the divine egg.

As if triggering a chain reaction, crack, crack, crack, cracks quickly spread across the entire divine egg.

As the entire divine egg began to shatter, the four Spiritual Treasures, excluding the Fire Spirit Ring, also began to rapidly absorb the vital energy of the five elements within the entire Five Elements Space.

Under the absorption of the five abyssal maws, the essence of the vital energy within the entire Five Elements Space was quickly depleted.

Consequently, the entire Five Elements Space began to shake, showing signs of imminent collapse.

With a resounding boom!

The shell of the divine egg completely shattered, and an Innate God was born!

"I, Luo Qing, have returned!"

Luo Qing opened his eyes and let out a hearty laugh.

He had succeeded!

He had reverted to innate and achieved the status of an Innate Fire God.

Moreover, he was a mid-level Innate God.

[Innate Fire God: Chi Wang] [Origin: Mid-level Innate God] [Status/Dharma Form: Chi Wang Dharma Form] [Talents: Nine Breaths to Absorb Qi, Innate Crimson Fire]

However, as Luo Qing gazed at his talents, he couldn't help but sigh.

After all, he was an Innate God achieved through reversion from the acquired.

Even as a mid-level Innate God, he didn't possess any high-level talents.

Nine Breaths to Absorb Qi was said to be one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Covers divine abilities, but this seemed to be standard for Innate Gods.

Any Innate God would possess this technique; otherwise, how could Innate Gods' cultivation increase without needing to cultivate!

Nine Breaths to Absorb Qi allowed Innate Gods to cultivate all the way to the limit of their inherent status.

Luo Qing's Chi Wang belonged to the fire status, and its limit was likely the early to mid-stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Innate Spiritual Fire, this Luo Qing was familiar with; he had found many similar things on several captives.

It was also roughly standard for Innate Fire Gods.

Besides these two talents, Luo Qing had no others.

"It's fine if I don't have any more! At least I've now achieved the status of a mid-level Innate God, and the path forward has been completely opened!"

With no other choice, Luo Qing could only comfort himself.

After examining his divine body.

Luo Qing then looked at his cultivation. The vital energy of fire in this Five Elements Space, which was almost dense enough to liquefy, had been completely absorbed by him.

Besides helping him revert to innate and gestate his birth, it had also greatly promoted his cultivation.

At this moment, both his Divine Path and Immortal Path cultivation had reached the peak of Heavenly God.

Luo Qing nodded with satisfaction. His foundation was at least ten times stronger than before.

A deep foundation not only strengthened one's power but also had a profound impact on pursuing higher realms.

Hadn't his reversion to innate been precisely to solidify his foundation!

"What a pity for this excellent Five Elements Space!"

After checking his own condition, Luo Qing looked around and found that the entire Five Elements Space was on the verge of collapse.

Luo Qing's eyes swept across the space, and based on his senses, he immediately located the four Innate Spirit Rings within the space.

Divine objects naturally purify themselves; the four Innate Spiritual Treasures automatically concealed their aura upon birth and hid themselves.

However, Luo Qing was born from the same mother as the four Innate Spirit Rings, and their auras were interconnected.

They were completely unable to hide from Luo Qing's eyes.

Luo Qing activated his fire aura and waved his hand to summon them. The four Innate Spirit Rings of gold, wood, water, and earth automatically flew into his hands.

At the same time, the Fire Spirit Ring, which had been circling Luo Qing, let out a hum and vibrated as the four major Spiritual Treasures appeared.

"Almost forgot about you!"

Luo Qing smiled and summoned the Fire Spirit Ring into his hand as well.

This treasure had fallen out of the Spiritual Treasure ranks because he had plundered its origin of fire.

However, having been nurtured in the Five Elements Space for an unknown number of years, it had merely degenerated into a top-grade Innate Treasure.

It had become Luo Qing's accompanying treasure.

There was still a possibility of it returning to being an Innate Spiritual Treasure in the future.

[Gold Spiritual Ring]

Quality: Lower-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure

Function: Can subdue all metal-element techniques in the world, possessing unmatched destructive power.

Similar to the Gold Spiritual Ring, the Water, Wood, and Earth Spirit Rings could also subdue their respective divine abilities and techniques.

Furthermore, the Gold Spiritual Ring excelled in offense, while the Water Spirit Ring specialized in transformation and speed.

The Earth Spirit Ring focused on defense.

The Wood Spiritual Ring, on the other hand, combined defense, healing, and stealth among other functions.

Of course, in reality, not just the Gold Spiritual Ring, but the other three Spirit Rings also possessed offensive capabilities.

Their power was simply not as great as the Gold Spiritual Ring's.

As for the Fire Spirit Ring, which had degenerated into a treasure, it was also a weapon of slaughter, and it possessed the ability to smelt all fires.

It had lost its ability to counter fire-element divine abilities.

And as Luo Qing had expected, the five Spirit Rings originated from the same source, inherently a set of Spiritual Treasures.

Once the Five Elements merged into one, forming a single Five Elements Ring, its power could rival a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

It could suppress all changes of the Five Elements and subdue treasures of the Five Elements.

However, the Fire Spirit Ring had been forced into becoming an Innate Treasure.

Although with Luo Qing as its companion, it could still exert the might of a Spiritual Treasure when wielded by him, the power of the Five Elements Spiritual Ring had decreased to that of a mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

"Alas, it's a case of gains and losses!"

Luo Qing sighed, but he harbored no regrets.

Compared to his own path of cultivation, Luo Qing knew the importance of a high-grade Spiritual Treasure.

After putting away the Five Elements Spiritual Rings, Luo Qing reopened his Eye of the Great Dao and scanned the entire Five Elements Space.

Finding no omissions, he then escaped from the Five Elements Space.

The moment Luo Qing stepped out of the spatial gate, the entire Five Elements Space collapsed and vanished.

Returning to the underground rock cave, Luo Qing found that the numerous Immortal Artifacts he had set up were undisturbed, and he finally felt at ease.

He collected all the Immortal Artifacts, then brought down an palm strike to collapse the entire rock cave, burying all traces. Luo Qing then followed the fire vein towards Crimson Flame Mountain.

When he came down, Luo Qing had spent a whole month just finding his way.

Going up was much easier.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Qing appeared on the summit of Crimson Flame Mountain.

Originally, Luo Qing had been contemplating how to explain to the Golden Immortal elders in his tribe that he had reverted to innate and become an Innate God.

He also wondered if the Five Elements Tribe was sensitive about such matters.

But when Luo Qing emerged from the lava and scanned with his divine sense, he was dumbfounded.

The Crimson Flame Mountain, which had originally spanned a thousand miles, was now only half its original size.

The other half had transformed into a deep pit basin hundreds of feet deep.

Above the entire Crimson Flame Tribe, only a few scattered Fierce Beasts roamed, and not a single tribesperson could be seen.

"Did Fierce Beasts break through the Crimson Flame Tribe?"

Luo Qing's expression changed, his previously excited face turning ashen.

At this moment, Luo Qing could no longer bother with anything else. He immediately opened his Eye of the Great Dao and looked towards the Five Elements Tribe and the other four tribes.

He felt anxious, hoping that the Crimson Flame Tribe had merely been overrun and its people had retreated elsewhere.

However, the scene displayed by the Eye of the Great Dao dashed Luo Qing's earnest hopes to the ground.

Within a radius of several thousand miles around the Five Elements Tribe, there was not a single living tribesperson left.

The other four tribes' territories were not much better off than the Crimson Flame Tribe.

Everywhere were broken buildings and Cave Mansions, traces of battle, and a large amount of divine blood.

From the residual bloodstains, Luo Qing detected the aura of the Crimson Flame Tribe, the Thick Earth Tribe, and other members of the Five Elements Tribe, as well as Fierce Beasts.

The blue light in his eyes dimmed, and Luo Qing stood silently in place with a grim expression for a while.

Beneath his calm expression, a torrent of rage was already suppressed.

The Five Elements Tribe was guarded by an ancestor Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and there were no less than fifty Gold Gods.

Luo Qing absolutely refused to believe that a mere beast tide could wipe out the Five Elements Tribe.

His figure instantly vanished from the mountaintop, and Luo Qing reappeared in his own Cave Mansion.

Whether it was luck or not, half of Crimson Flame Mountain was destroyed, but Luo Qing's Cave Mansion remained intact.

With a thought, Luo Qing discovered a message jade stone on the inner side of the Cave Mansion's entrance.

As soon as the jade stone was in his hand, Luo Qing's eyes lit up, and the overflowing anger in his heart finally subsided a little.

He finally understood what had happened to the Five Elements Tribe.

For Luo Qing, the best news was that the Five Elements Tribe had not been annihilated but had suffered a severe blow and had to relocate their tribal lands again.

"Hoo! Thankfully!"

Luo Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Having lived in the Five Elements Tribe for thousands of years, Luo Qing had deep affection for the tribe.

Just as Luo Qing reappeared on the mountaintop, pondering what to do next.

Whether to cultivate on his own first or to search for the departed Five Elements Tribe.

A surprised voice suddenly exploded in Luo Qing's ears.

"Eh? An Innate Fire God who just emerged? Interesting, very interesting! Hahaha!"

A voice like a bolt from the blue rang in Luo Qing's ears, immediately making him tremble in fear.

"The Fierce Beast Calamity is raging fiercely now, and the outside world is full of dangers. Little friend, it's better to return to my mountain with me to cultivate!"

Before Luo Qing could speak or even see who had arrived.

A divine wind swept over, rolling up Luo Qing and carrying him on clouds for a thousand miles in an instant.

When Luo Qing steadied himself from the daze and opened his eyes again, he was dumbfounded.

"Welcome, little friend, to Hundred Gods Mountain!"

In front of Luo Qing, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal in golden armor, a burly man, was looking at him with a smile.
