Whether the Primordial Continent was lively, prosperous, or anything else had nothing to do with Yuan Tian for the time being. What Yuan Tian needed to do now was cultivate and strive to undergo Transformation and enter the world as soon as possible.
Time flowed like water. Who knew how many more years passed? Yuan Tian cultivated without pause, and Xuantian felt that his speed of absorbing spiritual energy was growing faster and faster. Yuan Tian knew he was about to break through once more.
As his cultivation deepened, Yuan Tian's true body, the Innate Green Willow, continued to grow taller, while its hardness likewise increased without end. Finally, after a burst of rapid growth, his true body stopped only after reaching a million zhang. Yuan Tian knew he had finally reached the fourth turn of the Ninefold Soul-Origin Mystic Art, the Zenith Heaven Loose Immortal realm. A hundred years later, Yuan Tian would face his Transformation Tribulation.
Yuan Tian planned to properly cultivate his divine abilities in preparation for the Transformation Tribulation a century from now.
Just then, two little saplings appeared within Yuan Tian's divine sense—two Innate-grade willow saplings.
Yuan Tian could not help finding it strange. There clearly were no other Spiritual Roots around him, so how had two saplings appeared? He could not help calculating in his heart.
It turned out that this cultivation session had lasted for a full 1.8 billion years. When Yuan Tian had cultivated the Ninefold Soul-Origin Mystic Art to its third turn, the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, he had unconsciously cultivated the two great laws of time and space. Time was yin, while space was yang. By a twist of fate, two branches of his true body, the Green Willow, had broken off and embedded themselves beside it. After being affected by the spiritual energy produced during Yuan Tian's nearly one billion years of cultivation, the two branches had actually survived and grown into the two saplings they were now. Truly, he had planted willows without intent, yet the willows had grown into shade.
Do not underestimate these two saplings. They had originally been branches of the Creation-grade Innate Spirit Root, the Green Willow, and after being nourished by Yuan Tian's spiritual energy for a billion years, their current quality had reached the ranks of Innate Spirit Roots. Although they had not reached the level of the ten great Innate Spirit Roots, they were only a step behind. More importantly, over the past tens of millions of years, the two had developed spiritual intelligence. Though their intelligence was still extremely weak, it had awakened nonetheless. This meant they had hope of undergoing Transformation. It had to be said that these two Spiritual Roots possessed great fortune.
Moreover, when Yuan Tian had calculated in his heart just now, he found that after the two willow trees underwent Transformation, they would share a father-son or father-daughter bond with him. This made sense as well. After all, these two Spiritual Roots had grown from branches of Yuan Tian's true body, the Green Willow.
What was this? Getting pregnant before marriage? No, that was wrong. I'm a man—I can't steal the work of all my fellow women! Besides, I don't seem to have drunk the Mother-Child River water from the Kingdom of Women. How could I have children? This isn't scientific!
Science? How many things in the Primordial Wilderness could be explained by science? Yuan Tian, do not forget that you are no longer human—you are a tree. Even if you are the Green Willow among the ten great Innate Spirit Roots, you are still a tree. Why was a tree like you worrying over such things? You should make proper preparations. Do not forget that in a hundred years, you will have to weather the Transformation Tribulation.
At last, under the pressure of the Transformation Tribulation, Yuan Tian could only set the matter of the children aside for now and focus on preparing to face it. As for how Yuan Tian would prepare for the Transformation Tribulation, he could only rely on his true body to withstand it head-on and on his divine abilities. As for magic treasures and formations, sorry, Yuan Tian currently possessed only one magic treasure: the Great Dao Secret Record. Yet the Great Dao Secret Record had neither offensive nor defensive power. Using it to resist the heavenly tribulation would be courting death, would it not? Right, there were formations too, but setting up formations required materials. Yuan Tian could not use his own true body as formation materials, could he? That would be worse than directly using his true body to resist the heavenly tribulation. So what could he do now? It seemed he could only cultivate his divine abilities with all his strength.
It had been said before that above Taiyi lay divine abilities. Cultivators of the Primordial Unity Realm were already capable of cultivating divine abilities. Yuan Tian had reached the Taiyi Realm for more than a billion years already.
How could he possibly have no divine abilities? It had also been said before that the Ninefold Soul-Origin Mystic Art contained methods for cultivating certain divine abilities. Yuan Tian himself possessed six innate divine abilities: the Five-Elements Heaven-Seizing Hand, Star Vortex, Illusory-Extinguishing Star Eye, Star Devouring, Absolute Defense, and Absolute Spatial Domain. The Five-Elements Heaven-Seizing Hand involved using a secret art to fuse innate objects of the five elements into one's hand. Then, through a spatial divine ability, anything within heaven and earth's five elements could be drawn in. It was somewhat similar to Zhunti's Seven-Treasure Wondrous Tree and Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light, both of which could draw in objects and people. The difference was that they used magic treasures to draw objects and people into their respective treasures, while Yuan Tian's Five-Elements Heaven-Seizing Hand used a divine ability to draw objects and people into his own hand.
Star Vortex was one of the star divine abilities. It could devour the force of an enemy's attack and transfer it into Dimensional Space. The exact amount of power it could devour and transfer depended on the user's strength and the attacker's attack energy. The energy devoured and transferred could not exceed the user's own energy. Space in the Primordial World was incomparably solid; without the strength of a Quasi-Sage, one should not even dream of opening Dimensional Space. Thus, if Yuan Tian wanted to use Star Vortex in the Primordial World, he would need at least the cultivation of a Quasi-Sage.
The Illusory-Extinguishing Star Eye was also one of the Star divine abilities. It could shatter all formations, restrictions, and seals in the world. With the Star Eye, one could look upward upon the Celestial Stars, downward upon the Netherworld Ghost Realm, and in between, borrow Stellar Power to attack others. Its might was beyond compare.
Star Devouring was likewise one of the star divine abilities. It contained the Devouring Law and could convert the power of those it killed into its own power. It could also devour the energy contained within formations, restrictions, and seals. With this divine ability, one would not fear running out of magical power or being sealed away by others.
Absolute Defense, as its name implied, possessed absolute defense. Of course, this "absolute" was relative. So long as the attack did not exceed one hundred times the user's own energy, the user would be absolutely safe within the defensive range. If it exceeded one hundred times, then one would be in danger. Its duration depended on the combined factors of the user's cultivation and the energy of the incoming attack.
Absolute Spatial Domain was one of the spatial divine abilities. Once unleashed, its user became the god within the domain's range. Within that range, the user could be called invincible. If an enemy trapped inside the domain was stronger than the user, the time they needed to break free from the domain would be shorter.
Of the six innate divine abilities, Yuan Tian could not cultivate the Five-Elements Heaven-Seizing Hand and the Illusory-Extinguishing Star Eye. These two divine abilities required support from a physical body after Transformation before they could be cultivated. However, Yuan Tian could still cultivate the remaining four divine abilities.
Naturally, Yuan Tian had begun cultivating the four divine abilities, including Star Vortex and Star Devouring, as soon as he had first reached the Taiyi Realm. Even after cultivating them for more than a billion years, Yuan Tian had still not cultivated the four divine abilities to Great Accomplishment. It was not that Yuan Tian's talent was poor; rather, his innate divine abilities were simply too heaven-defying. Yet even if they had not reached Great Accomplishment, he had still attained minor accomplishment. During these hundred years, Yuan Tian did not intend to cultivate the four divine abilities to Great Accomplishment. Even if he wanted to, it would be impossible. What Yuan Tian needed to do now was merely integrate and master the four divine abilities more thoroughly. That was all.
No, to be precise, he should only integrate three divine abilities. Star Vortex required reaching Quasi-Sage level before it could be used. This divine ability could be said to be useless for now. If it could not be used, was that not the same as being useless? He could not count on this divine ability for the time being. Thus, only integrating the three divine abilities more thoroughly would be somewhat easier in terms of time. Though time would still be tight, it was better than handling all four divine abilities at once.
