So that was it!
The core essence of the Primordial World fragment truly was... part of a petal from the Primal Chaos Azure Lotus!
Though it was only an extremely tiny portion, perhaps merely a speck transformed from an intact petal, the Primal Chaos Azure Lotus's source aura and the true essence of the Space Great Dao contained within it could not be faked!
Zhang Shuai was deeply shaken. The Primal Chaos Azure Lotus truly deserved its title as an Eternal Calamity Treasure. Even a petal formed from such a tiny fragment possessed terrifyingly high quality.
If he used this as the primary material to carefully forge a pocket-world artifact... its grade would, at the very least, begin at the level of a Nine-Calamity Primal Chaos Treasure. It might even possess certain traits of a Calamity Epoch Treasure!
The idea was immensely tempting. He was hesitating over whether to try refining this precious petal into an unprecedented portable abode.
Suddenly, the Dao Fruit within his body began to throb and tremble violently without warning!
It was as though the seven-colored petal before him held an unprecedentedly intense attraction and desire for the Dao Fruit.
"Hmm?"
Zhang Shuai froze, utterly surprised.
His Dao Fruit... actually desired to fuse with this Primal Chaos Azure Lotus petal?
He had always found it strange that his Dao Fruit had evolved into the shape of a lotus. Now, it was producing such an intense resonance and longing toward a Primal Chaos Azure Lotus source fragment that was likewise in the form of a "lotus"...
An absurd thought flashed through his mind like lightning:
If I continue growing stronger, could my Dao Fruit one day grow into a new Primal Chaos Azure Lotus—one that belongs to me?
Zhang Shuai was startled by his own sudden thought.
