Within this newborn world, the Eight Immortals manifested the mortal realm, the Demon Alliance established the netherworld, and the Heaven-Opening Origin Spirits and desolate beasts opened up the heavenly realm.
Ling Qing had not been idle outside, either.
Ever since the Brocade-Robed Marquis had left, he had continued to drift outward peacefully, borne along by the chaotic primordial qi.
With no need to support the Eight Immortals and the others, he used all the primordial qi he had gathered to refine the Primordial Unity Banner.
Chaotic primordial qi that inherently nurtured and created worlds was being used to nourish a magical treasure—it was truly like using an ox-cleaver to kill a chicken.
Before long, the Primordial Unity Spirit Worm had been nourished to complete maturity, followed closely by the earth, water, wind, and fire elemental worms.
They began merging in pairs, giving birth to new spirit worms and retracing the process of nurturing the qi of the One Origin.
At the same time, having absorbed quite a bit of Heaven-Opening tribulation qi, the fishing-net-like formation diagram within the Immortal-Slaying Spirit Pearl had grown much finer, carrying the intent of heaven's net: vast and wide, yet letting nothing slip through.
If someone were trapped within the formation, they could not leave unless they broke through its formation eye.
It was simply that Ling Qing still could not establish a complete formation diagram. Those of great strength could suppress the entire grand formation outright, rendering any formation useless.
At present, he had only one Immortal-Ending Sword in hand, along with a strand of nurtured Immortal-Slaying Sword Qi.
As for the Immortal-Massacring and Immortal-Trapping swords, he possessed only their origins formed from stellar spirit talismans and clear qi.
Taking this opportunity, he began nourishing the origins of those two swords with tribulation qi.
