Gourd

Black light shot forth.

In the blink of an eye, it collided with the Purple Gold Bowl!

That rather fine-looking Purple Gold Bowl directly erupted with a boom, instantly shattered.

Then the black light did not stop, shooting straight toward Wufa!

Wufa and Wutian were already stunned stupid.

This Yip Man was actually a Quasi-Saint level super expert!?

That was a Quasi-Saint who could be compared to their own sect leader.

The Demon Ancestor Luohu!

Rip!

The black light instantly pierced through Wufa's thigh root.

Then his entire thigh began to dissolve!

The immense pain immediately sent Wufa collapsing to the ground.

Clutching his gradually dissolving thigh—even the bones starting to melt—he howled without cease.

Seeing this, Wutian's legs trembled as he dropped to his knees, shrieking, "Spare me! Lord Yip Man, spare me!"

As for Li Xuan, one Nirvana Finger shot out.

A full third of his spiritual energy was drained away.

This divine ability was powerful, no doubt.

But the consumption was simply too high.

Using it twice was the limit.

A third time, and his body would collapse.

Thus, Li Xuan's eyes rolled, and he withdrew his hand.

Looking up at Wufa and Wutian, he put on airs and said, "You two wretched bastards, when Luohu sent you to take the Divine Phoenix Essence Blood, did he ever tell you to harm its offspring!?"

Wufa and Wutian grew even more terrified upon hearing this.

This Yip Man, from his tone—

It seemed he knew Lord Luohu!

But then again, how many Quasi-Saint experts were there in the entire Primordial Wilderness?

It was only natural they knew each other.

"Lord, spare us! We admit our fault! We admit our fault!"

The two hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Especially Wufa.

The pain and terror of having an entire leg dissolved nearly made him piss himself!

He just kowtowed like pounding garlic.

A flicker of smugness passed through Li Xuan's eyes.

He continued calmly, "But in the end, This Seat does share some bond with Luohu. Today, I'll spare your worthless lives! Now scram, before I change my mind!?"

Wufa and Wutian felt as if pardoned from death.

They quickly shouted, "Thank you, Lord, for sparing us! Thank you, Lord, for sparing us!"

With that, Wutian grabbed the severely wounded Wufa and took off in a panic, fleeing far away.

In moments, they vanished at the horizon's edge...

"Phew..."

Seeing them gone, Li Xuan finally let out a long breath, his face turning pale.

A third of his spiritual energy lost—it was truly too much.

And on top of that, he hadn't even aimed properly!

But then he grinned.

He quickly flew over to the two giant eggs.

Without even a close look, he directly stored them away.

Then he rose and flew back.

He couldn't afford to waste time.

What if that bastard Luohu came himself?

After flying into the Nine Heavens Gaseous Wind layer, Li Xuan finally began to carefully examine the two giant eggs.

Legend says that when the peacock was born, it was blessed by the five elements of heaven and earth!

It gained a divine innate ability, called the Five-Colored Divine Light!

That celestial spectacle—he arrived too late and didn't get to see it.

But now, looking at this egg, faint five-colored radiance swirls around the giant egg, clearly extraordinary.

As for the Golden-Winged Great Peng.

Legend says that when it was born, it too was blessed by the metal-essence qi of heaven and earth!

Thus its beak and claws are extremely sharp!

Its speed is also astonishing, ranking among the top five in the entire Primordial Wilderness!

Now, look at that small egg.

Indeed, a faint golden light flickers, and sharp aura permeates the air.

"So these are the future Peacock Great Bright King and Golden-Winged Great Peng, huh? Tsk tsk, now they're just two eggs... How about I fry them up and eat them? Hahahaha!"

Li Xuan laughed loudly and quickly departed.

As for Wufawutian, the two of them fled in a frenzy.

It took nearly half an hour before they gradually calmed down.

On one hand, they rejoiced at having escaped with their lives.

On the other, they cursed that Yip Man to hell!

They had to report this to their sect leader and have him reclaim their honor!

After all, those two eggs were the direct bloodline of the Primordial Phoenix.

If the sect leader found out, he would definitely be tempted!

Yip Man!

Yip Man!!

Just you wait!

An hour later.

The Incarnation Outside the Body returned to Mount Taixuan.

The two eggs were placed on the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus Platform.

At the same time, Li Xuan's main body heard the system's prompt.

"Ding, selection completed: take the peacock and Golden-Winged Great Peng. Reward obtained: Innate Supreme Treasure: Monster Summoning Banner, one drop of Divine Phoenix Essence Blood, one hundred thousand years of cultivation experience scroll."

In an instant, a large blue-purple banner suddenly appeared on the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus Platform!

The banner flapped loudly, its surface etched with all kinds of mysterious patterns.

Streams of aura howled outward but were blocked by the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus Platform, unable to spread.

Though both were Innate Supreme Treasures.

The Monster Summoning Banner could never compare to the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus Platform.

After all, the power of the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus Platform could even rival a Primordial Supreme Treasure!

As for the Monster Summoning Banner, though it was an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Its function was very singular.

It was only used to summon the demon clans of the world.

Li Xuan naturally didn't dare use it to summon any great demon now...

Figures like Tai Yi, Di Jun, Kun Peng—those ruthless characters.

Not to mention they probably haven't even been born yet.

Even if they had.

The moment he summoned them, they'd likely turn around and rebel against him.

But...

Li Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, then dimmed again, and he muttered, "Daji isn't even liquid yet... why am I getting excited... Oh right, there's Nuwa too... Hmm... forget it, I don't dare mess with the number one big sister of the Primordial Wilderness either..."

So this Innate Supreme Treasure, the Monster Summoning Banner, was currently a bit of a white elephant.

Sighing, Li Xuan turned his gaze to that basketball-sized mass of blood, glowing with a lustrous sheen.

This was true, genuine heart's blood essence of the Divine Phoenix!

This was good stuff.

It was dozens of levels above the so-called essence blood that Wufawutian had gathered from fusing Divine Phoenix flesh and bones.

This kind of essence blood—whether from the Primordial Phoenix or the Divine Phoenix—was incomparable.

All over his body, he probably had no more than ten drops at most.

Thus, this essence blood—whether swallowed directly to enhance cultivation, used to refine pills and medicines, or even employed in artifact forging—was an incomparably rare treasure of the world.

Li Xuan cheerfully prepared to store it away, intending to swallow it later when his realm needed a breakthrough to aid his advancement.

But just as this Divine Phoenix Heartblood appeared, those two eggs trembled slightly, as if about to hatch!

Li Xuan quickly looked over.

He saw the two eggs shaking more and more violently, while streams of aura emerged from within them, spreading toward the Divine Phoenix Essence Blood as if trying to absorb it.

Li Xuan stared in slight bewilderment.

But then he blinked, waved his hand, and stored the Divine Phoenix Heartblood away.

With their target gone, the two eggs immediately stopped trembling and returned to calm.

"Hehe, hatching early isn't being a good child. Settle down and stay for a while—hatch naturally when the time comes. You must be full-term!"

Li Xuan looked at the two eggs with a numb expression and said, "As for this Divine Phoenix Essence Blood... it's mine."

Whoosh!

A wave of immense heat swept in!

The hundred thousand years of cultivation experience had also arrived!

With twenty times the cultivation speed, plus the boost of a hundred thousand years of experience, the combined effect made Li Xuan's body tremble slightly.

Under the convergence of infinite Great Dao rules, more inscriptions and talismans appeared on the surface of his Golden Core within his dantian!

A Purple-Gold Color filled his entire dantian!

Golden Immortal, first level!

Golden Immortal, second level!

Golden Immortal, sixth level!

At the same time, his Incarnation Outside the Body howled with delight, its realm steadily climbing as well, reaching the sixth level of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!

A hundred thousand years of experience multiplied by twenty times the cultivation speed equaled two million years of cultivation.

And from the beginning of the world's creation until now, only a little over a million years had passed...

Two million years, advancing from Golden Immortal first level to sixth level...

One could imagine just how monstrous someone's talent was...

Right now, that someone sat on the lotus platform with a goofy grin, happily savoring the enhancement of his cultivation...

Time flowed on.

In the blink of an eye, another ten thousand years passed.

One day, Li Xuan suddenly opened his eyes.

It wasn't because the system had prompted anything—after all, there was still a long way to go before the twenty-five thousand years of cultivation time ended.

Rather, it was because the Innate Gourd Vine growing beside the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus Platform had finally fully ripened one of its gourd fruits!

As one of the innate chaos spiritual roots, the Chaos Gourd Vine had a very great reputation, second only to the Primordial Green Lotus!

The Primordial Green Lotus was the strongest spiritual root of chaos, having nurtured the great god Pangu.

Afterward, its flowers, leaves, seeds, and platform all transformed into numerous supreme treasures.

Among them, the lotus platform was the very one Li Xuan now sat on—the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus Platform.

But now, this Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus Platform was gifted to Li Xuan by the system.

The real Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus Platform.

Had long since transformed into the Twelve Grade World Destroying Black Lotus Platform beneath Luohu's seat.

Along with the Twelve Grade Merit Golden Lotus Platform hidden somewhere unknown.

And the Twelve Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus Platform that fell within the Sea of Blood.

As for the other Chaos Spiritual Roots, there's no need to elaborate.

Just looking at this Chaos Gourd Vine now had already made Li Xuan beam with joy.

This first gourd about to ripen was entirely crimson, radiating boundless heat.

A faint fluorescent glow illuminated the surrounding tens of meters, making it all bright and clear!

It was about to fall.

From the moment Li Xuan obtained this gourd vine until now.

Over twenty long millennia had passed.

And today, he was finally about to reap a true reward!

That was the first gourd from the Chaos Gourd Vine!

The Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd!

The Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd trembled slightly.

Spiritual energy from all around suddenly rushed in with a roar, filling the last trace of perfection.

Then, the slender vine abruptly split with a thin line, and snapped apart.

The one-foot-three-inch-long Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd fell downward.

Before the gourd could hit the ground, a hand had already caught it steadily.

The palm slowly withdrew.

In front of the gourd, a roguish face appeared, staring at it with a gleeful chuckle.

The Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd.

This was a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure!

As things stood, it was the most offensively powerful treasure in Li Xuan's possession!

The Jade Pure Bottle and the Qiankun Diagram were both inferior in comparison.

Once the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Red Sand was unleashed, it specialized in scattering souls and spirits.

Even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, without a powerful treasure to resist, would have their three souls and seven spirits scattered.

With this treasure in hand, Li Xuan finally felt a bit of confidence.

Below the Quasi-Saint realm, he should truly be invincible.

Without further ado, Li Xuan grinned and opened his mouth.

The Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd spun with a whir, shrinking as it flew toward his mouth.

Within his Dantian's sea of qi, atop the dazzling, purple-gold Golden Core radiating brilliant light.

The grain-of-rice-sized Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd slowly revolved.

Burned and refined by Li Xuan's core flame, its power would grow greater and stronger over time!

After swallowing the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd, Li Xuan turned his gaze to the remaining gourds on the vine.

The second gourd, a bright orange-yellow, was already half-grown.

In another hundred thousand years or so, it should ripen.

This gourd was extremely, extremely famous.

It was called the Immortal-Slaying Gourd.

Also known as the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife!

"Hehehe, 'Please, treasure, turn around'? That'll be mine from now on!"

Li Xuan cackled, then closed his eyes again.

He continued to sit in meditation, quietly waiting for time to pass.

Sunrise and moon set, another ten thousand years passed.

Li Xuan awoke from deep meditative absorption.

After twenty thousand years of cultivation, his cultivation level had finally risen another grade, becoming a Golden Immortal, seventh level.

But the reason he woke was naturally not because of this minor advancement.

Rather, it was because one of those two eggs.

Had stirred!
