Just as Dao Xuan was at a loss over what to do, the Eye of Heavenly Dao still hanging in the sky suddenly sent him some information.
"This works too?" Dao Xuan was rather surprised.
It turned out that his Primordial Spirit had transformed into the Heavenly Dao of this world, governing the world in an absolutely rational state.
This was distinct from Dao Xuan himself, who retained only part of his divine consciousness to take charge, and thus often failed to consider everything thoroughly.
At this moment, Dao Xuan's Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit told him of a method. Even if he could not obtain the Immortal Peach Tree, he could still add a water-attributed spiritual root to this world.
Of course, the price would not be small.
But after seeing the aggrieved look in Black Tortoise's eyes, Dao Xuan still decided to do it.
With a thought, he took out a treasure.
This treasure was none other than a High-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Dao Xuan had obtained from Yingzhou Island—the Azure Tide Bottle.
The Azure Tide Bottle could store countless waters and compress limitless amounts of water, ultimately transforming it into One-Origin Heavy Water.
This Dharma treasure was quite powerful, but its method of use was somewhat clumsy.
Moreover, Dao Xuan had far too many good treasures in his possession, so he normally had no use for the Azure Tide Bottle at all.
Thus, after careful consideration, Dao Xuan decided to sacrifice this treasure in exchange for a water-attributed Innate Spiritual Root for this world.
As Dao Xuan took out the Azure Tide Bottle and suspended it before him, the Eye of Heavenly Dao suddenly trembled and transformed into a mass of black light.
At the same time, the Heaven and Earth Fetal Membrane abruptly split open a passage, from which streams of chaotic qi surged forth.
These streams of chaotic qi were also drawn toward the black light formed by the Eye of Heavenly Dao.
The two intertwined, transforming into a massive vortex.
The vortex spun rapidly. After a while, it gradually vanished, replaced by an enormous millstone.
At first glance, the millstone seemed like an ordinary, dull gray stone mill, but Dao Xuan could sense waves of terrifying destructive aura emanating from it.
This stone mill was anything but simple. It had been condensed from this world's Law of Destruction, combined with the power of the world and chaotic qi.
Its power rivaled that of a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. And it was an offensive top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure at that!
Of course, such power was limited to this world alone.
If it left this world, even without the suppression of the Great Desolate Heavenly Dao outside, its power would diminish greatly, at most reaching the level of a High-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
And it could not be sustained for long!
But within the Inner World, the millstone's power could be unleashed to its fullest.
Boom!
The millstone, condensed in imitation of the legendary World-Ending Mill, fiercely crushed down upon the Azure Tide Bottle.
In an instant, spiritual light burst forth.
Amid a teeth-grinding creaking sound, cracks gradually appeared across the Azure Tide Bottle.
In the end, the entire Azure Tide Bottle exploded with a bang.
The bottle was ground away completely. Only a mass of the purest deep-blue origin remained.
This mass of origin was the Water Origin contained within the Azure Tide Bottle.
At this moment, the stone mill transformed back into a streak of black light. With a flash, the black light became another Dao Xuan.
This Dao Xuan could also be called Heavenly Dao, distinguishing him from Dao Xuan's true body.
Heavenly Dao reached out and seized the Water Origin in his hand. After examining it, he found that this Water Origin was indeed not very pure.
Within the Primordial World, there were actually two purest water-attributed spiritual roots. One was the Immortal Peach Tree, and the other was the Moon Laurel Tree.
However, the Immortal Peach Tree was a Ren Water Spiritual Root, while the Moon Laurel Tree was a Gui-Water Spiritual Root.
Ren Water belonged to the Yang Five Elements, while Gui Water belonged to the Yin Five Elements.
Moreover, Dao Xuan knew all the Innate Spiritual Roots of the Yang Five Elements, but not all those of the Yin Five Elements.
Therefore, Dao Xuan had not considered targeting the Moon Laurel Tree at the time.
But if the Five Elements spiritual roots truly succeeded in producing their intended effect, gathering the Moon Laurel Tree would only be a matter of time.
After all, besides being a Gui-Water Spiritual Root, the Moon Laurel Tree also contained Lunar Yin Origin.
And within Dao Xuan's Inner World, the Yin-Yang Law was also one of the ten core laws. There was no way he could do without the Moon Laurel Tree, with its lunar yin attribute.
Now, Dao Xuan had destroyed the Azure Tide Bottle and extracted its origin, only to discover that the bottle's origin was indeed not pure Water Origin.
Or rather, it contained three laws in total: the Space Law, the Water Law, and the Water Law.
Why were there two Water Laws?
That was because these two Water Laws were actually the Four Symbols Water Law and the Five Elements Water Law.
They were two different Water Laws.
Among these three laws, the Space Law accounted for only ten percent, the Four Symbols Water Law accounted for thirty percent, and the Five Elements Water Law accounted for a full sixty percent.
Furthermore, this Five Elements Water Law was mainly Gui Water, with very little Ren Water Law.
Looking at the mass of origin, Dao Xuan did not intend to separate these various laws.
That would be extremely difficult. Even as the Heavenly Dao of this world, he would find it hard to accomplish.
What he intended to do was this:
With another wave of his hand, Heavenly Dao summoned a white lotus from somewhere within this world.
Like the Ginseng Fruit Tree, this white lotus was merely a sapling. Its origin needed no explanation.
It was one of the six saplings nurtured from the six seeds produced earlier by the Twelfth-Rank World-Cleansing White Lotus.
Heavenly Dao fed the mass of origin to the white lotus.
At the same time, the instant the white lotus absorbed the origin, Heavenly Dao performed another great divine ability.
This great divine ability was precisely the opposite of the World-Ending Mill from before. It was a supreme divine ability known as a method of creation.
Creation by Rotation!
Buzzz! Buzzz! Buzzz!
As the white lotus absorbed the origin, Heavenly Dao continuously transformed it!
Finally, after a long while, Heavenly Dao stopped. Before him floated an azure-blue lotus completely different from the Pure World White Lotus from before.
This lotus was a new spiritual root created by Heavenly Dao through fusing the Azure Tide Bottle's origin and remaking it with the great divine ability Creation by Rotation.
It was called the Myriad Transformations Treasure Lotus.
It was a Mid-Grade Innate Spiritual Root. Similar to the Ginseng Fruit Tree, the Myriad Transformations Treasure Lotus could also transform Innate Kui Water Essence.
Not only that, it retained the Pure World White Lotus's abilities, capable of purifying foul water and harmonizing violent currents.
"Black Tortoise, this spiritual root is bestowed upon you!" Heavenly Dao spoke without the slightest emotion. He casually tossed the Myriad Transformations Treasure Lotus directly before Black Tortoise.
But Black Tortoise was ecstatic. With a roar, he directly carried the Myriad Transformations Treasure Lotus back to the North Pole.
Then he planted it in the sea.
The moment the Myriad Transformations Treasure Lotus entered the sea, it immediately sprouted countless roots and took root in the silt on the seabed. The lotus, originally only palm-sized, had already grown to a colossal height of tens of millions of zhang.
