Just as Ling Tian had guessed.
The two newly born life forces belonged to Kong Xuan and the Golden Winged Great Peng.
Ling Tian just hadn't expected the system's mission choices to activate again.
And the mission the system had issued was so bloody.
The first option plainly called for the brothers to turn on each other!
But Ling Tian couldn't bring himself to harm two newly conceived embryos.
"Raising Kong Xuan and Great Peng sounds pretty good, too."
Ling Tian murmured, ignoring the first choice as he called out to the system.
"System, I choose option two!"
The next moment.
A golden light appeared and transformed into a small golden ruler.
"Could this be the legendary first innate Merit Supreme Treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler?"
Ling Tian murmured to himself.
The Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler was the first ruler created after the world was opened. Its attack power was second only to the Pangu Banner, and killing with it incurred no karmic consequences.
It was the first offensive spiritual treasure Ling Tian had obtained since arriving in Hong Huang.
"Not bad! Not bad!"
Ling Tian toyed with the small golden ruler, growing more pleased with it the longer he looked.
Previously,
he had already refined most of the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation.
Next,
he could begin refining the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler.
But Ling Tian wasn't in a hurry.
Instead, he looked at the energy vortices representing Kong Xuan and Great Peng.
"You two little brothers will have your big brother looking after you from now on!"
"Make sure you cultivate properly. Don't disgrace me when you go out into the world, got it?"
Ling Tian chided the two Spiritual Energy Vortices, entirely at his leisure.
Curiously...
As soon as Ling Tian scolded them like that,
he noticed the two vortices tremble slightly.
Then they actually flew toward him.
What was this?
Ling Tian was a little baffled as he watched the two vortices draw closer and closer.
Then,
something that left Ling Tian rather astonished happened...
The two balls of spiritual energy seemed to have decided he was family. They pressed against him, seeming extremely affectionate.
"Damn, don't tell me they think I'm their mother?"
A line from a nature documentary he'd watched in his previous life suddenly rang through Ling Tian's mind...
"Animals usually consider the first living thing they see after birth to be their mother."
What the hell do you mean, mother?
I'm a man, through and through!
Ling Tian shuddered and slapped the two balls of spiritual energy away.
But when he sensed the hurt feelings coming from them,
Ling Tian's old face flushed red.
Maybe he'd overreacted!
They were only two balls of spiritual energy.
No need to make such a fuss.
With that thought,
Ling Tian sheepishly beckoned to them.
"Sorry about that, little brothers!"
"Come here. Big Brother will give you some candy..."
After Kong Xuan and Great Peng arrived,
Ling Tian's otherwise dull life gained a splash of color.
Aside from cultivating in seclusion,
he spent his time playing around with Kong Xuan and Great Peng.
Though Kong Xuan and Great Peng were still only balls of spiritual energy, nowhere near fully formed,
for Ling Tian, who was desperately bored,
even that was a rare delight.
Time passed without notice in Hong Huang.
After Ling Tian had completely refined the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler,
he was about to start cultivating the Laws with the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation.
But just then,
Kong Xuan and Great Peng suddenly came over and clung tightly to the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation.
"What's this?"
Watching them,
an idea suddenly occurred to Ling Tian.
As everyone knew,
the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation could accelerate one's comprehension of the Laws.
If its effect were compared to Wi-Fi,
then Kong Xuan and Great Peng were acting just like something from Ling Tian's previous life.
"You two little rascals, are you mooching off my Wi-Fi?"
Ling Tian chuckled, amused by the two little rascals.
After playing around with them,
Ling Tian prepared to enter seclusion and cultivate the Laws.
Ling Tian had already cultivated the Five Elements Law, the Lightning Law, and the Wind Law to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level.
As long as he cultivated any one of these three Laws to the Primordial Golden Immortal level,
he would be able to break through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.
This was also the main method of cultivation among cultivators during the Dragon-Han Tribulation.
Thinking of this,
Ling Tian couldn't help falling into deep thought.
He had to choose one of the three Laws.
He would focus on cultivating just one in the short term.
There were three thousand Laws of the Great Dao.
The Laws were ranked, from highest to lowest.
Of the three Laws Ling Tian had comprehended,
the Five Elements Law was one of the top ten supreme Laws.
The Wind and Lightning Laws were only ranked in the middle.
Moreover,
Ling Tian had comprehended the Five Elements Law from the moment he was born.
It could be called his personal Law.
By rights,
the Five Elements Law should have been his first choice.
But as one of the supreme Laws, the Five Elements Law was also among the ten hardest to comprehend out of the Three Thousand Laws.
That was the main reason Ling Tian couldn't decide.
"Maybe I should try cultivating the Wind-Thunder Law first?"
Just as Ling Tian was pondering this,
he suddenly sensed two dense Law auras.
One of them was extremely familiar to him: the Five Elements Law.
The other was the Yin-Yang Law.
"Hmm?"
"Could I do it this way?"
When he sensed those two Law auras,
an idea suddenly came to Ling Tian.
He could split his divine sense in two and merge each half into Kong Xuan and Great Peng.
Kong Xuan and Great Peng had been formed from the Five Elements Law and the Yin-Yang Law.
As they continued to grow,
their comprehension of the Five Elements Law and the Yin-Yang Law would deepen.
If Ling Tian could merge with the two little fellows and comprehend the Laws alongside them,
he would make far more progress than cultivating the Laws on his own.
And with the Wi-Fi boost from the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation...
By the time Kong Xuan and Great Peng had formed into embryos,
Ling Tian would have made great strides in the Five Elements Law.
He might even comprehend the Yin-Yang Law.
"Haha, I really am a genius!"
"This is great!"
Ling Tian's eyes gleamed as he enthusiastically praised himself in his mind.
Next,
Ling Tian first pushed the power of the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation to its limit.
Then he held Kong Xuan and Great Peng close and entered seclusion with them...
What Ling Tian didn't know...
was that as he entered seclusion with Kong Xuan and Great Peng,
the clear qi above the Chaos Green Lotus suddenly surged and enveloped them.
The Chaos Bead, which had transformed into a sun hanging high in the sky, trembled as well.
A dense stream of origin spiritual energy turned into a streak of light and poured down over their heads, flowing without end.
Most importantly...
Within the Chaos World inside the Chaos Bead, an extremely faint aura of the Yin-Yang Law had appeared.
After the Five Elements, Wind, and Lightning Laws,
a new Law aura had appeared in the Chaos World.
It was easy to imagine...
Once Ling Tian comprehended the Yin-Yang Law,
the evolution of the Chaos World could begin anew.
It was anyone's guess what changes the power of the Yin-Yang Law
would bring to the Chaos World.
