Innate Sword Lotus, Chaos Demon God Lineage? Late Golden Immortal!

Kunlun Mountain.

After the Three Pure Ones returned, they each went back to their Cave Mansions to enter seclusion and comprehend the Great Dao Hongjun had expounded.

Now, all three of them were Quasi-Saints, so naturally they wished to Attain Sainthood as soon as possible.

Others might not have known this, but Qin Mu could not have been clearer.

If the Three Pure Ones intended to take the path of Slaying Three Corpses to Become a Saint, it was bound to be impossible.

After all, among the many Saints of the Primordial Land, only Hongjun had become a Saint by slaying the three corpses.

Later on, the Three Pure Ones still relied on establishing the Three Teachings and Attaining Sainthood through Merit.

However, this was a heavenly secret, and Qin Mu had no intention of telling the Three Pure Ones.

For one thing, he did not know how much Karma it would bring him if he spoke of it.

For another, if the Three Pure Ones questioned him, he would not know how to explain it.

Once the Three Pure Ones entered seclusion, Qin Mu also returned to his own Cave Mansion.

The Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth around his Cave Mansion was abundant.

After sitting cross-legged, Qin Mu moved his mind and drew out a seed.

The seed was jade-green throughout, with Chaos aura coiling around it.

It was precisely the Lotus Seed of the Creation Green Lotus that Hongjun had bestowed upon him when he had returned to Zixiao Palace earlier.

I wonder what changes my true form will undergo after I refine this Lotus Seed of the Creation Green Lotus?

Qin Mu pondered secretly. With another thought, he directly transformed into his true form.

Upon closer inspection, the Innate Nine-Leaf Sword Grass appeared. Its leaves were like sharp swords, emanating a terrifying aura.

Every Sword Leaf seemed to possess the power to sever stars.

It was called Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, but after its previous evolution, the original nine leaves had become thirty-six.

It would be more fitting to call Qin Mu's true form the Innate Thirty-Six Leaf Sword Grass.

After transforming into his true form, Qin Mu did not delay. He immediately circulated his mana.

At once, streams of clear jade-like motes surged from his true form and landed upon the Lotus Seed floating before him.

Gradually, wisps of green light separated from the Lotus Seed of the Creation Green Lotus, then sank into Qin Mu's Sword Grass true form.

At that moment, a system notification suddenly sounded in Qin Mu's mind:

[ Ding! ]

[ Detected a high-grade origin item—Chaos Green Lotus Seed! ]

[ Innate Nine-Leaf Sword Grass is beginning evolution... ]

[ Evolution complete. Innate Nine-Leaf Sword Grass has evolved into Innate Sword Lotus! ]

Boom!

In an instant, Qin Mu's true form underwent an earth-shattering transformation, and a terrifying Chaos aura suddenly erupted.

The original thirty-six Sword Leaves, each as sharp as a blade, now displayed profound lotus patterns along every vein.

At the center of the Sword Grass, an incomparably radiant green lotus had sprouted.

A dreadful Chaos aura emanated from that green lotus.

"It evolved?"

"Innate Sword Lotus!"

Qin Mu was utterly stunned.

He had never expected that merely refining the Lotus Seed of the Creation Green Lotus would allow his true form to evolve once more under the system's control.

As his true form evolved into the Innate Sword Lotus,

Qin Mu's foundation also leaped from that of a top-grade innate divine being to the level of an Innate Demon God.

One had to know that Innate Demon Gods were existences on the same level as Chaos Demon Gods such as Hongjun, Luohu, and Yang Mei!

"Phew..."

After the shock, Qin Mu transformed back into human form and let out a long breath.

He briefly sensed the surging power within his body.

He discovered that his cultivation had also broken through from Early Golden Immortal to Mid Golden Immortal.

"Time to continue refining treasures."

Qin Mu spoke calmly and lightly waved his hand. A pearl wreathed in crimson flames immediately appeared before him.

This pearl was called the Fire Spirit Pearl, a gift Tongtian had given him upon becoming his disciple.

Qin Mu did not delay any longer and began refining the Fire Spirit Pearl.

The years drifted by.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years had passed.

To the living beings of the Primordial Land, time was the cheapest thing of all.

Tens of thousands of years were no more than a snap of the fingers.

Yet during those long years, the Primordial Land gradually became more lively.

Countless living beings were born amid the mountains and rivers—spirits and monsters whose intelligence had just awakened, as well as naturally powerful exotic beasts...

Birds and beasts swallowed the essence of sun and moon, while grass, trees, mountains, and rocks transformed and attained the Dao.

The entire Primordial Land displayed a scene of flourishing vitality.

Of course, beneath this apparent prosperity, undercurrents were also stirring.

To say nothing else, the friction between the Wu Clan and Demon Race grew increasingly frequent.

The Demon Race Heavenly Court ruled over the Celestial Stars, while the Wu Clan controlled the mountains and rivers of the land. Their forces collided endlessly, and slaughter never ceased.

Beyond that, East King Duke's Immortal Court was also unwilling to remain quiet. It continuously expanded its sphere of influence, delusionally seeking to unite the Primordial Land.

Kunlun Mountain.

Qin Mu slowly opened his eyes. Flames flowed within them before withdrawing and fading away.

After tens of thousands of years of refinement, he had refined twenty restrictions of the Fire Spirit Pearl.

These Spiritual Treasure Restrictions were shackles of law bestowed by the Heavenly Dao.

For every restriction refined, one could unleash another portion of its power.

Houtian Spiritual Treasures contained at most thirty-five restrictions.

Innate Spiritual Treasures, meanwhile, could contain as many as forty-eight restrictions.

As for Innate Supreme Treasures, they possessed a full forty-nine restrictions, corresponding to the number of the Heavenly Dao.

"With my current cultivation, refining twenty restrictions of the Fire Spirit Pearl is already no easy feat."

"To fully unleash all of the Fire Spirit Pearl's power, I will need to at least enter the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm."

Qin Mu muttered to himself.

After all, the Fire Spirit Pearl was a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure with forty-eight restrictions.

It would still take quite some time to refine it completely.

"My cultivation has improved quite a bit as well. I've reached Late Golden Immortal!"

After sensing his own mana, Qin Mu found that he had already reached Late Golden Immortal.

Beyond that, he was shocked to discover that within his body, a somewhat illusory Sword Leaf had condensed.

This Sword Leaf was not physical. It was formed from the intertwining of his own Sword Dao origin and the power of the Chaos Green Lotus.

It faintly emitted a terrifying aura that made one's heart tremble.

If it fully solidifies, what kind of power will it possess?

Qin Mu pondered secretly.

After all, the path of cultivation he walked differed from that of every living being in the Primordial Land.

Earlier, when he had listened to Hongjun's third Dao lecture at Zixiao Palace, he had discovered an Extra Large Red Packet.

Upon opening it, he had obtained an Exclusive Great Dao Level Technique.

This technique was also very simple.

Each time he broke through a level, he could condense a Sword Leaf within his body.

Once he condensed thirty-six Sword Leaves, he could break through to the Great Dao.

Moreover, every Sword Leaf that took shape could give rise to all manner of divine abilities and special effects.

Does this mean I haven't even broken through the first level yet?

Qin Mu gave a wry smile. After taking a deep breath, he gathered his mind and did not rush.

Afterward, he left his Cave Mansion and wandered around Kunlun Mountain.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Qin Mu stopped. His gaze fell directly upon an Innate Spiritual Tree not far away.

Looking closely, he saw Yuanshi and Tongtian seated beneath the tree, engaged in a Dao Discussion.

Dao Resonance flowed around the two of them. Every word they spoke stirred the laws of Heaven and Earth; lotuses bloomed in the Void, and golden springs gushed from the ground.

After standing still for a moment, Qin Mu hurried forward and respectfully bowed.

"Greetings, Master. Greetings, Second Martial Uncle."

Hearing this, Tongtian and Yuanshi turned to look at him in unison.

"Not bad."

Tongtian nodded, his face full of approval.
