The Chaos Ancient Vine!

Just then, Li Qingshan saw all the light withdraw into the seed's outer shell.

The cracked shell closed again, wrapping around the true seed. The seed fell from the air and hovered at the very center of the Wish-Fulfilling Gourd's space.

The chaotic light inside the gourd surged toward the seed like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, wrapping it in a cocoon of chaos-colored light.

Then Li Qingshan felt the Wish-Fulfilling Gourd change.

The chaotic light within its space grew denser and purer.

The gourd's already vast space began to expand slowly.

The immortal qi permeating it grew more refined, and within it was even a faint trace of the Chaos Origin.

Most importantly, he sensed life.

Deep within the cocoon formed by the seed, a faint but unmistakable spark of life was slowly awakening.

That life force was ancient and immense, as though a creator deity who had slept for countless ages was stirring.

A towering wave rose in Li Qingshan's heart.

The Wish-Fulfilling Gourd was a Chaos Gourd to begin with.

The Chaos Ancient Vine that would grow from this seed also bore Chaos Gourds.

There had to be countless ties between the two. They might even share the same origin.

If the Wish-Fulfilling Gourd truly was a gourd borne by that Chaos Ancient Vine, then what was this seed?

Could there be more than one Chaos Ancient Vine?

Or was this seed the key to the Wish-Fulfilling Gourd's own transformation?

He took a deep breath and calmed the turmoil in his heart.

Whatever mysteries surrounded the seed, the benefits the Wish-Fulfilling Gourd had gained were real.

The chaotic light was denser, its space was more stable, and that awakening spark of life gave him a strong intuition that the Wish-Fulfilling Gourd had gained something extraordinary.
