After Ling Tian completed his selection.

An arcane secret art suddenly appeared in his mind.

It was none other than the [Incarnation Beyond the Self] technique.

Ling Tian was overjoyed and immediately began to study it.

As his understanding deepened, his delight grew ever stronger.

The [Incarnation Beyond the Self] technique rewarded by the system this time was incredibly miraculous.

Whether it was a treasure of heaven and earth, a spiritual treasure, or even a pill,

anything that possessed spiritual energy

could serve as the anchor for an [Incarnation Beyond the Self].

The richer the spiritual energy of the anchor,

the more powerful the incarnation would be.

However, an incarnation had a cultivation limit and could never surpass the original body.

What delighted Ling Tian most was...

when his incarnation ventured out,

his original body could still remain in a state of cultivation and continue cultivating as usual.

This was simply a divine tool for "working and playing" at the same time!

This [Incarnation Beyond the Self] technique couldn't have suited Ling Tian better.

"Hahahaha..."

Ling Tian couldn't help laughing out loud.

Then he prepared to choose an anchor for his first incarnation.

"System, bring up my character panel!"

The next moment,

his character panel appeared before Ling Tian...

System: God-Tier Selection System Host: Ling Tian Foundation: Supreme Innate Spiritual Body (Innate God-Demon Progress: 55%) Realm: Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Full Circle Cultivation Art: Nine Revolutions Divine Art Divine Ability: Incarnation Beyond the Self Treasures: Chaos Green Lotus, Chaos Bead, Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation, Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler Spiritual Items: Immortal Apricot Tree, Yellow Middle Plum Fruit Tree, Three Lights Divine Water, Pangu Jade Marrow (Consumed) Formation: Innate Chaos Grand Array Laws: Five Elements Law (Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Full Circle), Lightning Law (Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Mid Stage), Wind Law (Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Mid Stage), Yin-Yang Law (Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Early Stage) ...

Compared to when he had first arrived,

Ling Tian's character panel had become countless times more impressive.

He even possessed Chaos Supreme Treasures like the [Chaos Bead] and the [Chaos Green Lotus].

Ling Tian's wealth was immense.

But in terms of sheer numbers, he didn't have all that much.

And the items that could serve as anchors for an [Incarnation Beyond the Self] were especially few.

There was no way Ling Tian would use treasures like the [Chaos Bead] or the [Chaos Green Lotus], was there?

That was far too risky.

It didn't suit Ling Tian's nature.

After much deliberation, Ling Tian finally settled on the Yellow Middle Plum Fruit Tree.

The Yellow Middle Plum Fruit Tree was one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots of Hong Huang.

It contained an enormous amount of spiritual energy.

It was more than enough for Ling Tian to refine a decent incarnation.

Besides,

Ling Tian currently had three Yellow Middle Plum Fruit Trees.

Aside from the first one,

the two remaining fruit pits left behind after Kong Xuan and Great Peng had eaten the fruits had also been collected by Ling Tian and planted in the Chaos World.

Both pits had now grown into saplings.

They were bursting with life.

"You're the one!"

With a thought, Ling Tian immediately chose one of them and began refining his first incarnation.

Ten years later.

The defensive barrier above the Southern Ming Undying Volcano suddenly rippled.

A somewhat "sneaky" figure slowly emerged from within the barrier.

The figure glanced around,

then vanished from the spot.

It disappeared into the vastness!

The Northern Sea.

The waters were azure, and a gentle breeze blew.

It was a beautiful scene.

But just then,

the calm surface of the sea suddenly grew turbulent.

A Green Dragon and a Red Dragon burst through the waves and flew into the air.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Their cheerful roars rang out again and again.

The Northern Sea was Dragon territory.

These two young dragons had no parents with them and frolicked freely in the ocean.

They didn't notice

the pair of gloomy eyes fixed intently on them from the void.

Those eyes naturally belonged to Kun Peng.

As the verse went:

In the Northern Darkness there was a fish, named Kun. The Kun was so huge that no one knew how many thousand miles it spanned;

it transformed into a bird, named Peng. The Peng's back was so vast that no one knew how many thousand miles it stretched.

The Dragon Clan could never have imagined that Kun Peng had two forms.

The strange fish the Dragon Clan spoke of was Kun Peng in his "Kun" form.

But ever since the Dragon Clan began hunting Kun Peng,

he had taken the "Peng" form, transforming into a "Kun" only briefly when eating dragons!

That was the fundamental reason the Dragon Clan had never managed to catch Kun Peng.

And as the Dragon Clan intensified its efforts to hunt him,

it became harder and harder for Kun Peng to eat a dragon.

But dragon flesh was simply too beneficial to Kun Peng.

He would never give up eating dragons.

When he spotted these two young dragons traveling alone,

the ravenous Kun Peng was overjoyed.

"Finally!"

However,

Kun Peng was naturally cunning and didn't attack right away.

Instead, he silently followed the two young dragons, waiting for the right moment.

He wanted to see whether powerful members of the Dragon Clan were secretly following them,

or whether the Dragon Clan had set an ambush.

After following them for some time,

Kun Peng's guard gradually eased.

From what he could tell,

the two young dragons had sneaked out to play.

There wasn't a trace of any other Dragon Clan member within tens of thousands of miles of them.

And the two young dragons had now reached the edge of the Northern Sea.

Powerful members of the Dragon Clan rarely came to a place like this.

"Safe!"

Kun Peng muttered to himself. He could no longer resist his craving for dragon flesh.

His gloomy eyes fixed on the two young dragons.

He hadn't eaten delicious dragon meat in so long that, to his shame, tears nearly trickled from the corners of his mouth.

Kun Peng didn't hesitate any longer.

Several tens of thousands of miles ahead of the two young dragons, he plunged beneath the sea.

He transformed from a "Peng" into a "Kun," then into an island, quietly waiting for the two young dragons to arrive.

On the island formed by Kun Peng,

several spiritual roots radiating rich energy could be seen growing...

In Kun Peng's perception,

the two young dragons were drawing closer and closer.

And when the distance between them had shrunk to just ten thousand miles,

the two young dragons "finally" spotted the island formed by Kun Peng.

Their greedy gazes fell on the several spiritual roots, and they rushed toward Kun Peng.

"They're here!"

Kun Peng was overjoyed, already imagining the taste of delicious dragon blood and flesh.

But just as Kun Peng couldn't help drooling,

he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

In his divine sense...

the two young dragons abruptly stopped, and their auras began to surge.

They went from the late Golden Immortal stage straight to the early Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage.

"Damn it, it's a Dragon Clan trick!"

Kun Peng was incredibly clever. He immediately understood what was happening and tried to flee.

But just then,

above the sea,

a blazing sun appeared, hurtling toward Kun Peng...

and crashed down with a thunderous boom!
