Mysterious Yellow World Pearl

As soon as he drank the tea, a cool sensation swept through Yellow Dragon's entire body.

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

To his senses, heaven and earth became perfectly clear.

Cultivation problems he had once struggled to grasp suddenly made sense, as though he had emerged from a long, dark tunnel onto a broad road.

Even the laws that permeated heaven and earth seemed easier to comprehend, revealing themselves clearly before him.

He dared not waste this precious state of enlightenment. He immediately steadied his mind and took out the Innate Spiritual Treasure pearl. With the clarity granted by the Dao Enlightenment Tea, he sent the power of his Primordial Spirit into it and began refining it.

Buzzz—

The Mysterious Yellow Pearl shuddered violently!

A savage will bent on destroying everything surged from the primordial beast. Following the connection formed by his Primordial Spirit, it slammed into him like a runaway carriage!

"Hmph!"

Yellow Dragon had been prepared. The moment that will struck his Primordial Spirit, the Pure World White Lotus appeared.

A beam of immaculate white light shielded his Primordial Spirit. Under the lotus's purifying radiance, the savage, destructive will gradually dissolved.

Stillness.

What met Yellow Dragon's eyes was absolute, suffocating stillness.

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

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

"Pure World White Lotus!"

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

Its sacred purifying light spread through the pearl like ripples across water.

Wherever the light passed, the lingering baleful energy of Chaos seemed to meet its nemesis. It hissed softly and vanished as swiftly as snow beneath the sun.

But when the lotus's potent purifying power touched the Indestructible Spiritual Light imprinted deep within the world's boundaries and core—

The primordial beast's Chaos Source had already fused with the Indestructible Spiritual Light. The two could no longer be separated.

The lotus could cleanse away the beast's lingering will, but it could not shake its Chaos Source!

Yellow Dragon examined the fusion for a long time. Strange as it was, and whether it would prove beneficial or harmful, it did not seem to hinder him from refining the Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Sacred light flowed around his Primordial Spirit, protecting it as he slowly reached into the restrictions at the treasure's core.

Before the Pure World White Lotus's purifying light, the beast's remaining power melted away like snow beneath a blazing sun.

Neither the violent backlash nor the attempt at possession by some ancient remnant soul that Yellow Dragon had feared came to pass.

Even if such a remnant had once existed, the beast had likely worn it away over the long years.

The Chaos beast's source had long since fused with the pearl's Indestructible Spiritual Light, and the eight remaining restrictions were filled with the beast's source as well.

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

Once the beast's lingering will and aura had been completely purified, Yellow Dragon sent his entire Primordial Spirit into the Mysterious Yellow Pearl and began refining the restrictions with all his strength.

As he refined the eight surviving innate restrictions and imprinted his True Spirit upon the Indestructible Spiritual Light, fragments of information flooded into his mind.

"Mysterious Yellow... World Pearl!"

Yellow Dragon's eyes flew open, blazing with delight!

The name alone held a wealth of meaning and spoke of something extraordinary!

This Innate Spiritual Treasure had been the companion treasure of an innate divine being!

At its core lay its greatest power: a complete small chiliocosm born within the pearl!

To control this pearl was to draw upon the vast power of an entire world!

Its might was almost beyond imagination.

Unfortunately, before that innate divine being could emerge into the world, an army of beasts had found him.

Blurred, harrowing images flashed through the stream of information: a figure wreathed in Mysterious Yellow Qi wielded the pearl and commanded the power of a small chiliocosm. Every strike shook heaven and earth, crushing countless beasts to dust.

But there were far too many beasts. Like an endless tide, they surged forward no matter how many fell.

In the end, the beasts devoured the innate divine being, and the beast named Chaos seized its chance to swallow the pearl...!

By devouring the abundant world source within the Mysterious Yellow World Pearl, Chaos rose swiftly from an ordinary beast to become one of the four great beast kings, second only to Beast Emperor Shen Ni.

Chaos's source corroded the pearl, devouring its world source until only a ruined shell remained. No one knew how many innate restrictions had been destroyed. The eight that survived barely kept it at the threshold of a low-grade Spirit Treasure.

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

His Primordial Spirit returned to his body. Yellow Dragon immediately left his temporary cave dwelling and searched the vast mountains around him.

He found a huge lake and placed the Mysterious Yellow World Pearl in it. A whirlpool instantly formed, drawing vast quantities of water and the life within it into the pearl to nourish its parched earth.

He searched millions of li in every direction before finding a mountain rich in spiritual energy. Beneath it lay two Innate Spiritual Veins that breathed out Innate Spiritual Energy.

"You'll do!"

Golden light flashed in Yellow Dragon's eyes. Guided by his innate affinity with Earth Veins, he slipped deep into the mountain and extracted one vein whole without damaging its source.

Rumble—!

Yellow Dragon pulled an enormous vein from beneath the mountain. Rich earthen-yellow light flowed through it, and it radiated vitality!

Once the vein left the earth, the spiritual energy within ten thousand li slowly began to thin.

Yellow Dragon wasted no time. He immediately placed the precious Innate Spiritual Vein inside the Mysterious Yellow World Pearl.

Boom!

The earthen-yellow vein plunged into the world beneath the pearl's surface like a colossal dragon!

Pure spiritual energy spread outward in waves, like an endless shower of Sweet Dew falling upon scorched earth!

At last, the deathly stillness within the pearl began to change. It was as if someone who had died had regained a faint spark of life. The world remained weak, but at least... it lived.

"The first step is done. The World Pearl has a source of spiritual energy!"

He still needed Innate Spiritual Veins of the metal, wood, water, and fire attributes. Once all five elements were present and circulating, the world within the pearl could begin to sustain its own spiritual energy.

Yellow Dragon felt a little more at ease.

Next, he transplanted the Enlightenment Tea Tree, an Acquired Spiritual Root, into the Mysterious Yellow World Pearl along with the clump of life-rich Breathing Soil around its roots. He planted it beside the Pure World White Lotus above the Innate Spiritual Vein.

Finally, he drew a deep breath, formed hand seals, and channeled his pure Magic Power to cast the Sweet Dew Technique.

"Gather, clouds! Come, rain! Nourish all living things!"

A gentle spiritual rain fell upon the Enlightenment Tea Tree sapling and the Pure World White Lotus, carrying pure, abundant vitality.

Under the rain, the sapling's tender green leaves seemed to gain a little more spiritual energy. The Dao patterns on several leaves extended as though alive.

In the days that followed, Yellow Dragon continued refining the Innate Spiritual Treasure and drawing in spiritual energy from outside while practicing the Sweet Dew Technique within the pearl's world.

At times, he roamed the mountains along the coast of the East Sea in search of Innate Spiritual Veins of the other four attributes. He also transplanted unusual spiritual plants into the World Pearl.

Nourished by both the Sweet Dew Technique and the spiritual vein, the land within the pearl, ten thousand li across, transformed completely from a dry, lifeless wasteland into fertile spiritual soil!
