Life-Bound Spirit Treasure

After nearly two billion years, he, Yuan Tian, finally descended once more. Standing amidst a vast ruin was a young man of around twenty years old, dressed in a green Daoist robe. Though not exceptionally handsome, he still looked quite refined—that was none other than our protagonist, Yuan Tian. It was not easy; after more than a billion years, our protagonist finally took human form, and the magnificent Primordial Wilderness world was about to begin.

Yuan Tian finally took human form, and he ought to have rejoiced, yet he remained troubled by a certain matter. What was it? It was his true form, the creation-grade Innate Spirit Root, green willow.

As it turned out, plant-type spirit roots did not truly use their true forms for human incarnation. In other words, after a plant-type spirit root took human form, its true form still existed.

Under normal circumstances, once you took human form, the continued existence of your true form should have been a good thing. However, matters possessed two sides; with a good side, a bad side naturally followed. The bad side was that once someone destroyed your true form, even if you did not die, you would still shed a layer of skin—at the very least, sustaining severe injuries was a certainty.

Therefore, plant-type spirit roots generally had two choices upon taking human form. One was like the future Second Master of the Western Religion, transforming one's own spirit root true form into a spirit treasure so that it became a life-bound magical treasure. In this way, one would have no future worries, and this was also the path chosen by the vast majority of plant-type spirit roots after taking human form. However, for a spirit root capable of blooming and bearing fruit, this might not necessarily be a good choice; after all, between heaven and earth, an Innate Spirit Root was sometimes just that single specimen, and once transformed into a life-bound magical treasure, that kind of Innate Spirit Root would no longer exist. The other choice was like Zhen Yuanzi, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, guarding one's own life-bound spirit root oneself. The advantage of this was that one could continue to enjoy the spirit fruits of a spirit root that blossomed and bore fruit in the future. Of course, this had its flaws; it meant that you could not always guard your own true form. For instance, during the Journey to the West, Sun Wukong took advantage of Zhen Yuanzi's absence to smash his true form to pieces. Although it was later revived, did he not also suffer a bout of hardship?

Unless the master of a life-bound spirit treasure died, others could not use it; even a Sage could not seize another person's life-bound spirit treasure. Originally, for Yuan Tian, he could have directly transformed his true form into a life-bound spirit treasure, but his true form was a creation-grade Innate Spirit Root, equivalent to the Innate Supreme Treasure tier. Yet with Yuan Tian's current strength, he could not yet transform his true form into an Innate Supreme Treasure—the highest he could manage was a Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, and naturally the lowest would also be a Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure. Although only a single grade separated a Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure from an Innate Supreme Treasure, the difference in power between the two was like the gap between heaven and earth. You tell me, could Yuan Tian not feel conflicted?

Should he transform his true form into a Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure right now, or wait until his strength improved in the future to transform his true form into an Innate Supreme Treasure? What a dilemma!

Yuan Tian had cultivated the Dao for an aeon, and his willpower was quite resolute. He finally decided to transform his true form into a life-bound spirit treasure right now. Why? Because if he did not transform it into a life-bound spirit treasure now, Yuan Tian might need to constantly stand guard beside his true form. Otherwise, in the event that some mighty expert took advantage of his absence to refine his true form into a magical treasure, would he not be completely finished? An Innate Supreme Treasure was fine, but his own little life was still the most important thing. Besides, was there not still a Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure?

Once Yuan Tian made up his mind, he would do as he thought. He had no desire to dawdle and constantly change his mind, as that would inflict a heavy impact on his Dao heart.

Thus, Yuan Tian immediately executed a secret technique. He learned of this secret technique from his inherited memories, and it was precisely because of it that Yuan Tian could guarantee the transformation of his true form into a Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure.

Yuan Tian continuously formed hand seals with his hands, chanting incantations in sync with the gestures. As his hand seals kept flashing forth, the true form of the green willow continuously shrank from its original size of a million zhang. Finally, following the execution of Yuan Tian's final hand seal, the creation-grade Innate Spirit Root suddenly transformed into three scrolls that flew toward him. Yuan Tian hurriedly caught the three scrolls flying toward him.

Upon inspection, Yuan Tian saw that they were indeed three scrolls, each completely different from the others. Did that not mean he possessed three Innate Spirit Treasures? He saw that on one side of the first scroll were written five characters: "Chaos Star Chart", while the other side depicted the All-Heavens stars; on the second scroll, one side bore five characters: "Nine Heavens Chart", while the other depicted all things in the heavens; on the final scroll, one side read "Mountains and Rivers State Chart", and the other depicted the earth, mountains, rivers, and trees. The characters on the magical treasures were formed by Great Dao Laws, known as Divine Scripts. Each and every Divine Script possessed immense might, totaling three thousand Divine Scripts. For the three thousand Primordial Chaos Demon Gods, magical treasures possessing Divine Scripts were all capable of evolution, though the conditions for evolution differed and were extremely difficult.

Because all three scrolls were transformed from his own true form, Yuan Tian did not need to expend much effort to completely refine the three spirit treasures.

As it turned out, the true form of Yuan Tian's creation-grade Innate Spirit Root, green willow, truly lived up to its name as a creation-grade Innate Spirit Root. The green willow actually carried five laws: the Primordial Wood Law, the Primordial Earth Law, the Chaos Star Law, the Time Law, and the Spatial Law.

The Primordial Wood Law and the Primordial Earth Law were laws inherent to the green willow itself, while the Chaos Star Law was something the green willow obtained by sheer coincidence during the creation of the world, receiving the inheritance of the Primordial Chaos Demon God Star. Unfortunately, Demon God Star suffered severe injuries during the creation of the world and was unable to reincarnate and recultivate—otherwise, how could it have been Yuan Tian's turn? However, the Chaos Star Law now benefited Yuan Tian. As for the final two laws known as heaven-defying laws—the Time Law and the Spatial Law—the Spatial Law was also a law inherent to the green willow itself, because the green willow was also called the hollow green willow, naturally possessing the Spatial Law. In other words, the green willow innately possessed three major laws; it was a wonder it failed to take human form in its past life. If you had taken human form like that, would it not have defied the heavens? As for the final Time Law, it was actually brought along by Yuan Tian when he traversed space and time. Of course, Yuan Tian actually brought along not only the Time Law but also the Spatial Law; after all, transmigrators always enjoyed a few perks, otherwise who would transmigrate and who would be reborn?

Thus, Yuan Tian possessed five major laws, including two heaven-defying laws: the Time Law and the Spatial Law. Naturally, the Chaos Star Law could definitely rank among the top ten of the three thousand Primordial Chaos laws.

As for the three spirit treasures Yuan Tian obtained, they were formed by his true form, the green willow, under the stimulation of Yuan Tian's secret technique, combining the five major laws. Among them, the Chaos Star Chart contained the Chaos Star Law, transformed from the twigs and branches of Yuan Tian's true form, containing within it three hundred sixty-five Chaos Star Banners (Low-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure tier) and one hundred eight thousand Lesser Star Banners (Innate Treasure tier). It could deploy the Chaos Star Formation, uniting binding, defense, and offense into one body, which was even three tenths stronger than the Demon Clan's All-Heavens Star Formation. The Nine Heavens Chart contained the Spatial and Time Laws, possessing its own universe within the scroll, and could deploy the Nine Heavens Annihilation Formation, focusing on slaughter. The Mountains and Rivers State Chart contained the Primordial Wood Law and the Primordial Earth Law, possessing its own universe within the scroll, and could deploy the Chaos Wutu Formation, focusing on defense and restriction.

It could be said that all three spirit treasures were formation-chart-type Innate Spirit Treasures. What was worth mentioning was that all three formation charts fell into the ranks of Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasures—three evolvable Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasures. Among them, the Chaos Star Chart even contained three hundred sixty-five Low-Grade Innate Spirit Treasures and one hundred eight thousand Innate Treasures. Although there was a restriction that they could not be taken out and used individually, this could still be considered a pleasant surprise for Yuan Tian. After all, when it came to the quantity of innate magical treasures, who possessed more than he did? Even after the Daoist Ancestor attained sagehood, solely in terms of the quantity of magical treasures, he did not possess more than Yuan Tian.
