Thinking this, Yun Xiao stepped forward, ready to refine the Pure World White Lotus. Just then, she discovered another surprise.
At the bottom of the pool of Three Lights Divine Water lay twelve fist-sized pearls. A world seemed to shimmer within each one, and they radiated a rich glow of Innate Indestructible Divine Light.
"What are these?"
Seeing the twelve pearls, Yun Xiao's heart stirred.
She grabbed them and began refining them. As soon as she did, a stream of information flooded her mind. She paused, then her delight became impossible to hide.
These pearls were none other than the famed Sea-Calming Divine Pearls.
In Canonization of the Gods, Zhao Gongming, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, wielded Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls and drove Ran Deng, a Quasi-Saint, into a desperate retreat. Even his mount, the Plum Blossom Deer, was slain outright. In the end, Ran Deng only managed to knock them down with the Treasure-Dropping Coin in the hands of Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao.
That showed just how powerful the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls were!
"But weren't there supposed to be twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls? What's going on with these twelve?"
Yun Xiao looked puzzled as she continued to absorb the information in her mind. Soon, she understood the key.
As it turned out, the complete set of Sea-Calming Divine Pearls numbered not twenty-four, but thirty-six!
In other words, the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls before her were incomplete.
"So that's how it is!"
Yun Xiao murmured, her eyes bright.
If she remembered correctly, the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls complemented another Spiritual Treasure of the Primordial Wilderness, the Universe Ruler.
Support Heaven, Contain Earth.
If the Universe Ruler were placed inside the world within the Sea-Calming Pearls, its power over the universe could be used to shape heaven and earth, giving rise to worlds throughout the heavens.
During the Journey to the West Tribulation, Ran Deng had become the foremost figure beneath the Saints of the Western Teachings by creating the Twenty-Four Heavens.
That showed how mighty those worlds throughout the heavens were.
And that had been only the Twenty-Four Heavens, yet they had possessed such terrifying power.
If all Thirty-Six Heavens were assembled, their power would likely be no weaker than an Innate Supreme Treasure.
At this point in time, the Universe Ruler should be in the hands of Qiankun Ancestor.
He was a top-tier Innate God and Demon, reincarnated from the remnant soul of a true Chaos Demon God—someone who could contend with Hongjun and Luohu.
His cultivation had to be at least that of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
With that thought, Yun Xiao drew her mind back and focused, beginning to refine the restrictions within the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls!
The Primordial Wilderness knew no years. Tens of thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye.
"Whew!"
One day, Yun Xiao slowly opened her eyes. Twelve Sea-Calming Divine Pearls circled behind her head, radiating boundless divine light. A complete world seemed to shimmer within them, making her already otherworldly bearing appear even more sacred!
"Go!"
At Yun Xiao's thought, the twelve Sea-Calming Divine Pearls resonated with one another, and the power of what seemed like twelve miniature worlds was brought together.
This was no simple matter of adding one to one. It was a qualitative change. In the next instant, they slammed straight into a silver-white mountain tens of thousands of zhang tall!
Boom!
The moment the two collided, an unimaginable force erupted. To Yun Xiao's surprise, the entire silver-white mountain shattered in an instant, as if it had been struck by an Ancient Star.
"So this is... the power of the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls!"
Delight appeared on Yun Xiao's face.
That silver-white mountain was no ordinary mountain. It contained an Innate Geng Metal Vein Mine and was incredibly sturdy.
Yet even so, it had been smashed to pieces with ease!
In battle, if the twelve Sea-Calming Divine Pearls joined forces and struck as one, even a Perfected Golden Immortal would likely be unable to withstand them.
They would be gravely wounded in an instant!
"Next, I'll refine the Twelve-Petal World-Purifying White Lotus!"
After testing the power of the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, Yun Xiao was thoroughly satisfied. She once more focused her mind and began refining the restrictions within the Pure World White Lotus.
Compared with the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, the Pure World White Lotus was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, containing a full forty-eight Innate Restrictions. Refining it would likely require a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, or even a Quasi-Saint. Yun Xiao spent tens of thousands of years and only managed to refine twelve of its Innate Restrictions. That counted as an initial refinement, allowing her to wield some of its power!
Of course, for Yun Xiao, who was only in the Golden Immortal Realm, that was more than enough!
"Open Personal Panel!"
After refining the Pure World White Lotus, Yun Xiao spoke. As soon as the words left her mouth, a screen appeared before her.
...Personal Panel... Name: Yun Xiao Innate: Beginner Innate Divine Being Cultivation: Early Golden Immortal Realm Divine Ability: Soaring Cloud Light Spiritual Treasures: Twelve-Petal World-Purifying White Lotus (initially refined), Twelve Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, Mysterious Yellow Star Silk (mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure) Treasure: Three Lights Divine Water ...
Yun Xiao gave a slight nod as she looked at the Personal Panel before her.
With the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls for offense and the Twelve-Petal World-Purifying White Lotus for defense, she had practically secured an innate position of invincibility. No one at the same cultivation level could stand against her—not even the top hegemonic races of the Primordial Wilderness. She could even hold her own against a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
This was not the Witch-Demon Tribulation, when Grand Unity Golden Immortals were everywhere and Golden Immortals were beneath notice!
Heaven and earth had only just been created. Grand Unity Golden Immortals were the top combatants known to the Primordial Wilderness, while a Grand Unity Golden Immortal was unquestionably a hegemon!
"It's time to leave!"
Yun Xiao gathered up the entire pool of Three Lights Divine Water.
Three Lights Divine Water contained unimaginable vitality and was immensely beneficial to the growth of spiritual roots.
In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong knocked over Zhenyuanzi's Human-Life Fruit Tree and was detained.
In the end, Guanyin Bodhisattva had to come and revive the Human-Life Fruit Tree with a few drops of Three Lights Divine Water, getting Sun Wukong out of trouble!
A few drops of Three Lights Divine Water had been enough to revive the Human-Life Fruit Tree. That showed just how terrifying the vitality it contained was.
It was undoubtedly the finest healing medicine in the Primordial Wilderness!
What was more, Three Lights Divine Water could do more than nourish spiritual roots and heal injuries.
It was made up of three kinds of divine water.
Sunlight Divine Water: Wore away blood, essence, flesh, and bone
Moonlight Divine Water: Corroded the Primordial Spirit and soul
Starlight Divine Water: Dissolved the true spirit and consciousness
These three kinds of divine water were inherently poisonous. If she scattered them in battle, an unprepared enemy would suffer a heavy loss!
Of course, that would be an extravagant way to fight. But what could she say? She had plenty!
An entire pool of Three Lights Divine Water—more than she could ever use!
"It's time to leave!"
After putting away the Three Lights Divine Water, Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, and Pure World White Lotus, Yun Xiao rose to her feet, ready to depart.
The Sky-Piercing Jianmu was joined to the origin of Yingzhou Immortal Island, so she could not move it at all. As for the Sky-Supporting Mark upon it, she had only just begun to study it when it struck her as exceedingly complicated. Clearly, it was beyond the reach of someone at her current cultivation level. She would likely need to reach the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm before she could comprehend it.
And Yingzhou Immortal Island was filled with Chaos Qi Streams. Its environment was even harsher than the outside world, making it a terrible place to cultivate.
After exploring all of Yingzhou Immortal Island and finding nothing else, Yun Xiao made no further hesitation and stepped straight through the island's barrier.
Hum!
The moment Yun Xiao stepped through the barrier and appeared above the Eastern Sea of the Primordial Era, a sudden sense of danger rose in her heart.
In the next instant, a streak of light, radiating a dangerous aura, shot toward her!
"Hum—"
The streak of light tore through the sky, leaving a brilliant trail. Beneath its dazzling glow lurked a fierce killing intent. Whoever had launched the attack clearly meant to kill her with a single blow!
Yet Yun Xiao remained where she was, making no move in response to the deadly light only inches away.
"Die!"
Far away, the ambusher watched with cold excitement, as if already seeing Yun Xiao fall dead before his eyes.
But in the next instant—
"Swish!"
