Mysterious Yellow World Pearl

After a cup of tea went down his throat, waves of coolness immediately flowed straight into his limbs and bones.

In that instant, Yellow Dragon felt as though his spirit, long shrouded in gloom, had finally beheld the light.

In his perception, heaven and earth became utterly clear.

Cultivation problems that had once required painstaking thought just to grasp the faintest thread now suddenly opened up before him, as though he had passed through a long, dark tunnel and stepped onto a broad road leading straight to the heavens.

The laws pervading heaven and earth also seemed exceptionally "pleasing to the eye," clearly displayed before Yellow Dragon for him to comprehend.

He dared not waste this precious state of enlightenment. He immediately calmed his mind, took out that innate spirit treasure pearl, and, drawing upon the clarity brought by the Enlightenment Tea, Yellow Dragon unhesitatingly sent the power of his Primordial Spirit into the pearl and began refining this spirit treasure.

"Bzzz—"

The Mysterious Yellow Pearl suddenly shuddered!

A tyrannical will of utter destruction, originating from a primordial beast, followed the connection of his Primordial Spirit's power like an out-of-control carriage and slammed viciously into Yellow Dragon's Primordial Spirit!

"Hmph!"

Yellow Dragon had been prepared. He gave a cold snort, and at the very instant that will struck his Primordial Spirit, the Pure World White Lotus abruptly appeared.

A ray of immaculate white light firmly protected Yellow Dragon's Primordial Spirit. Under the purification of the light emitted by the Pure World White Lotus, that tyrannical, destructive will gradually melted away.

Deathly silence.

What entered Yellow Dragon's eyes was absolute, suffocating silence.

Beneath his feet lay blackish-gray earth split by countless ravines, spanning less than ten thousand li.

Yellow Dragon's phantom Primordial Spirit stood at the center of this lifeless world, gazing over the barren land.

"Pure World White Lotus!"

The Pure World White Lotus slowly bloomed at the center of the desolate world within the pearl.

Sacred purifying spiritual light spread through the pearl like ripples upon water.

Wherever the light passed, the residual Sha Qi of Chaos seemed to have encountered its nemesis. It let out faint sizzling sounds and was swiftly purified and annihilated like melting ice and snow.

However, when the Pure World White Lotus's domineering purifying power touched the innate indestructible spiritual light deeply imprinted upon the world barrier and core—

The primordial beast Chaos's origin had already fused as one with the innate indestructible spiritual light, inseparable from it.

The white lotus's purifying power could only clear away its remaining beastly will; it could not shake its Chaos origin in the slightest!

After repeatedly investigating for a long while, Yellow Dragon confirmed that although this fusion was strange and its benefits or harms unknown, it did not appear to affect his refinement of this innate spirit treasure.

Sacred purifying light flowed about, protecting Yellow Dragon's Primordial Spirit as it seeped bit by bit into the core restrictions within this innate spirit treasure.

Before the purifying spiritual light emitted by the Pure World White Lotus, the residual power of the primordial beast melted away at a furious pace, like ice and snow beneath the blazing sun.

The violent backlash or possession by the remnant soul of some ancient existence that Yellow Dragon had anticipated never occurred.

Presumably, even if such things had existed, they had long since been worn away by the primordial beast over the endless years.

The Chaos beast's origin had long fused into one with the innate indestructible spiritual light within the pearl, and the remaining eight restrictions were likewise filled with the beast's origin.

The entire process went far more smoothly than Yellow Dragon had expected.

Once the residual will and aura of the primordial beast within the world had been completely dissolved by the Pure World White Lotus, a thought from Yellow Dragon sent his entire Primordial Spirit plunging into the Mysterious Yellow Pearl as he began refining each restriction with all his strength.

As Yellow Dragon refined the eight remaining innate restrictions within the pearl and left the imprint of his true spirit upon the innate indestructible spiritual light, scattered fragments of information flowed into his sea of consciousness.

"Mysterious Yellow... World Pearl!"

Yellow Dragon abruptly opened his eyes, intense delight bursting forth from them!

The name itself contained boundless information, proclaiming its extraordinary nature!

This innate spirit treasure had actually been the companion treasure of an innate divine being!

Its most core power was that it naturally contained a complete minor world within the pearl!

To control this pearl meant being able to draw upon the vast, mighty power of an entire world to bolster oneself!

The terror of such power was easy to imagine.

Unfortunately, before that innate divine being's time of birth had arrived, it encountered an army of primordial beasts.

Blurred and tragic scenes flashed through the stream of information: a hazy figure bathed in Mysterious Yellow Qi, wielding the treasure pearl and commanding the power of a minor world. Every attack shook heaven and earth, crushing countless primordial beasts into powder.

Yet there were simply too many primordial beasts, like an endless tide that could never be slaughtered clean.

In the end, that innate divine being was devoured by the primordial beasts, while the treasure pearl was seized and swallowed into the belly of the beast named "Chaos"...!

By devouring the abundant world origin within the Mysterious Yellow World Pearl, Chaos rapidly rose from an ordinary primordial beast to become one of the Four Beast Kings, second only to the Beast Emperor Shenni.

As for the Mysterious Yellow Pearl itself, it was eroded by Chaos's origin. Its world origin was completely devoured, leaving behind only a badly damaged shell. Who knew how many innate restrictions had been worn away? Only eight remained, barely maintaining the threshold of a low-grade spirit treasure.

The world within the pearl... had long since died!

His Primordial Spirit returned to his body, and he immediately left the temporary cave dwelling, spreading his senses toward the vast mountain ranges all around.

After finding an enormous lake, he placed the Mysterious Yellow World Pearl into its waters. A vortex instantly arose within the lake, drawing countless lake waters and the living creatures within them into the pearl, nourishing the parched earth inside the Mysterious Yellow Pearl.

After searching the surrounding ten million li, he found a mountain peak rich in spiritual qi. Beneath the peak, two innate spiritual veins breathed in and out innate spiritual qi.

"You'll do!"

A glint of golden light flashed through Yellow Dragon's eyes. Relying on his innate instinct as an earth vein, he easily entered the depths within the mountain and completely stripped out one of its spirit veins without damaging its origin.

Rumble—!

A massive spirit vein flowing with dense earthy-yellow spiritual radiance and emanating vigorous vitality was "drawn" out from beneath the mountain by Yellow Dragon!

After the spirit vein was pulled from the earth, the concentration of spiritual energy throughout the surrounding area of ten thousand miles began to slowly decline.

Yellow Dragon did not dare delay. He immediately cast this precious innate spirit vein into the Mysterious Yellow World Pearl.

Boom!

The earthy-yellow spirit vein, like a colossal dragon, crashed into the underground depths of the world within the pearl!

Streams of pure spiritual energy instantly spread in all directions, like endless sweet dew poured into scorched earth!

The deathly aura pervading the entire world within the pearl finally began to change. It was as though a person who had already died had been granted a thread of life—still weak, but at least... alive.

"The first step—the source of spiritual energy within the World Pearl has been settled!"

He still needed to find innate spirit veins of the other four attributes—metal, wood, water, and fire. Once he gathered all five elements, their cyclical flow would allow the spiritual energy within the pearl's world to begin sustaining itself.

Yellow Dragon felt somewhat relieved.

Next, he transplanted the acquired spiritual root, the Enlightenment Tea, along with the clump of breathing soil at its roots that radiated dense vitality, into the Mysterious Yellow World Pearl, planting it together with the Pure World White Lotus atop the innate spirit vein.

Finally, he took a deep breath, formed hand seals, and drew upon the pure mana within his body to cast the Sweet Dew Technique.

"Clouds gather, rain descends—its grace blankets all living beings!"

A fine spiritual rain, carrying dense and pure life force, showered the Enlightenment Tea sapling and the Pure World White Lotus.

Nourished by the spiritual rain, the tender green leaves of the Enlightenment Tea tree seemed to gain a little more spiritual aura. The Dao patterns on several leaves also seemed to come alive, extending another line.

In the days that followed, Yellow Dragon refined this innate spirit treasure while absorbing the spiritual energy of the outside world, and practiced the Sweet Dew Technique within the pearl's world.

From time to time, he wandered through the mountains along the coast of the Eastern Sea, searching for innate spirit veins of the remaining four attributes while transplanting various special spirit plants into the World Pearl.

The land spanning ten thousand miles within the pearl, nourished by both the Sweet Dew Technique and the spirit vein, was completely transformed from a dry, deathly desert into fertile spiritual land!
