The river's waves surged, and after passing through Luohu's body, they vanished into the void.
The entire area returned to peace.
"Cough, cough!"
After a long while, Luohu on the ground slowly stood up. With a "crackling" sound, the limbs of his other half-body scattered on the ground!
At this moment, Luohu was left with only half of his body!
But as the Demon Ancestor, his vitality was incredibly terrifying. He struggled to grab the fallen limbs and, staggering, flew back to his lair.
He didn't speak, but the ferocity in his pupils intensified.
Physical injuries were nothing, even if only his head remained. However, the mark of the Divine Axe had severely damaged his origin.
Such injuries would not heal in a day or two.
For now, he could only return to seclusion to recuperate. As for the time of his emergence, it would likely have to be postponed.
East Sea Islands.
"Boom!"
Yun Xiao's eyes snapped open. The Pure World White Lotus, Kongtong Seal, and Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler were instantly summoned, and she circulated the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique and the Great Dao of Strength to their limits!
What just happened? Why did she suddenly lose consciousness?
She warily surveyed her surroundings. After a long moment, sensing no dangerous aura, she finally relaxed.
Anyone would feel a sense of dread after inexplicably losing consciousness for a period of time.
Then, she calmed herself, formed seals with her hands, and continuously deduced, but found nothing.
"Strange."
Yun Xiao frowned, unable to understand the reason no matter how hard she tried. She could only helplessly get up and fly towards Yingzhou.
Regardless, obtaining the fortuitous encounter was the most important thing.
In a short while, she arrived in the depths of the East Sea. After breaking the Restriction of Yingzhou Island, she stepped inside.
"Hoo!"
As soon as she stepped onto the immortal island, a dense Innate Spiritual Energy washed over her. Yun Xiao's spirits immediately lifted, and her previous confusion vanished.
As expected, Yingzhou Island had undergone a great transformation!
At this moment, the Chaos Qi Stream here had transformed into Innate Spiritual Energy. Many spiritual roots had grown around, swaying and scattering countless light spots as if beckoning to Yun Xiao.
Among them, dozens of low-grade Innate Spiritual Roots swayed and shone, emitting a refreshing fragrance. Dense Innate Spiritual Energy swirled around in gaseous currents!
And this was merely the entrance!
It was hard to imagine what the core area of Yingzhou Island had transformed into!
Yun Xiao waved her hand, collecting dozens of low-grade Innate Spiritual Roots along with the spiritual soil that nurtured them. Then, she impatiently headed deeper.
"Three mid-grade Innate Spiritual Roots? Collect!"
"An Innate Jia Mu Vein? Collect!"
"This is, an Innate... Egg?"
Yun Xiao stopped in her tracks, looking at the egg before her and falling into thought.
It seemed she had solved a puzzle that had troubled countless people in her past life...
Thus, Yun Xiao unknowingly reached the outskirts of the core area and finally stopped before a tea tree.
"High-grade Innate Spiritual Root, the Enlightenment Tea Tree!"
Looking at the small tree before her, joy appeared on Yun Xiao's face.
This was a great item!
When comprehending, holding a tea leaf could instantly enlighten and refresh the mind, almost comparable to the enlightenment bestowed by a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
Even, if it were boiled with that Innate Egg to make a tea egg...
Yun Xiao wiped the corner of her mouth and continued forward. In a short while, she arrived at the deepest part of Yingzhou Island.
"This is!"
When she saw the scene before her, her heart trembled slightly.
Some Chaos Qi Streams that had not yet transformed into Innate Spiritual Energy were all gathered here, unable to leak out, affecting the environment of Yingzhou Island.
The reason for this was that beside the Sky-Piercing Jianmu, there was a pale yellow fruit tree whose roots were strong and vigorous, like coiled dragons, rooted beside the Jianmu!
As the branches swayed, strands of solidified Innate Spiritual Energy dripped down, forming a curtain of spiritual energy that firmly blocked these Chaos Qi Streams in the deepest part of the immortal island!
Within the canopy, nine lotus-shaped buds hung. Mysterious veins intertwined on the buds, faintly revealing the characters "Huang Zhong"!
It was the Huang Zhong Plum!
Yun Xiao's eyes brightened. She had imagined that when Yingzhou Island underwent its transformation, there would be a great spiritual root in its deepest part.
But I didn't expect it to be this big!
You must know that this Huang Zhong Plum is a top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, and it's even ranked first among the ten greatest top-grade Innate Spiritual Roots of the Primordial Era!
The other top-grade spiritual roots are: Hollow Willow, Peach Tree, Fusang Tree, Moon Laurel Tree, Gourd Vine, Ginseng Fruit, Bitter Bamboo, Immortal Apricot, and the most mysterious Innate Five-Needle Pine.
Each spiritual root is unimaginably precious, each with its own divine abilities.
For example, the Space Demon God Willow, one of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, was transformed from the top-grade Innate Spiritual Root Hollow Willow and is the third-ranked terrifying existence among the Chaos Demon Gods!
It can be said that if the Huang Zhong Plum were given time to take form, it would likely become an unimaginable demon god!
As for the Gourd Vine, its stem was refined by Nuwa into the Human Creation Whip. She then mixed the Three Lights Divine Water and the Nine Heavens Xi Soil, and sprinkled it on the Human Creation Whip, thus creating the innate human race.
The Bitter Bamboo is the one whose leaves Daoist Zhunti has been plucking all along.
The Fusang Tree and Moon Laurel Tree are rooted on the Sun Star and Taiyin Star respectively, nurturing terrifying deities like the Taiyin Goddess and Eastern Emperor Jun.
The remaining Peach Tree, Ginseng Fruit, and Immortal Apricot have all left countless legends and stories in the Primordial Era.
Only the Innate Five-Needle Pine is rumored to be the only spiritual root of its kind in the Primordial Era, yet there are no stories recorded about it.
And the Huang Zhong Plum, ranked first among the ten greatest top-grade Innate Spiritual Roots, is said to bloom once every ten thousand years, bear fruit once every ten thousand years, and mature only after another ten thousand years.
In other words, it takes thirty thousand years to eat a single Huang Zhong Plum fruit.
There are even rumors that if a mortal eats one, they can directly achieve Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
Of course, this is just an exaggerated saying, as mortals' foundations are what they are.
The reason for saying this is that the energy contained in a Huang Zhong Plum fruit is equivalent to the magic power of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
This is absolutely terrifying beyond description.
Yun Xiao has just witnessed the power of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal; even a clone of Heavenly Consort Wumo required her to use all her magic power and a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure to kill it.
This is enough to show how terrifying a Grand Unity Golden Immortal is.
However, the more this is the case, the more it highlights the extraordinary nature of the Huang Zhong Plum.
For Grand Unity Golden Immortals, some innate beings might need to cultivate for millions or even tens of millions of years to achieve enlightenment.
Yet, the Huang Zhong Plum can nurture nine fruits in just three years, truly worthy of being ranked first among the ten greatest top-grade Innate Spiritual Roots!
"If only it were a ripe Huang Zhong Plum."
"That would save a lot of time."
Looking at the Huang Zhong Plum, which had not yet bloomed, Yun Xiao waved her hand and set up a time acceleration restriction. She began to comprehend the laws of the Great Dao while waiting for the Huang Zhong Plum to mature.
With a time flow of eighty times, she only needed to wait a little over three hundred and seventy years for it to bloom and bear fruit.
Moreover, as her comprehension of the laws of the Great Dao deepened, the time would gradually shorten.
While Yun Xiao was in seclusion...
At this moment, at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.
A graceful woman quietly landed there, and with a charming smile, all the flowers paled in comparison.
"The Qilin Clan, I wonder what the blood of these four-legged beasts tastes like."
The woman smiled charmingly, but her eyes, like autumn water, were filled with a demonic nature that shouldn't belong to such exquisite features.
If Yun Xiao were here, she would definitely recognize this woman's identity.
That's right, it was Heavenly Consort Wumo!
"To infiltrate the Qilin Clan, I at least need to possess a Qilin with a not-low status, and one that isn't too intelligent."
Heavenly Consort Wumo mused softly.
If it were too intelligent, the possession process might require more effort, which is absolutely unacceptable for a lazy and noble Heavenly Consort.
But where could she find a Qilin that had cultivated to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm yet wasn't too intelligent?
