The successfully fused and refined "Chaos Pearl" floated before Minghe. The Blood Flame enveloping it slowly dispersed, revealing its true form.
The "Chaos Pearl" was the size of a fist, yet it no longer emitted five-colored radiance. Black and white currents swirled within it like chaos itself, concealing countless transformations.
Minghe's divine sense penetrated it, and he saw that within the "Chaos Pearl" seemed to lie a space—a chaotic space.
Just like the Chaos Pearl, one of the legendary four great Chaos Supreme Treasures.
But Minghe knew that this "Chaos Pearl," formed from the fusion of the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, was actually highly unstable.
After all, to put it bluntly, simply fusing the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls together did not require much skill.
As long as one possessed sufficient magic power, one could forcibly drive them to merge.
But that was not a long-term solution. If this supreme treasure could not be stabilized,
it would collapse.
And collapse did not mean reverting to the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls—it meant exploding outright.
It would be utterly destroyed.
When that happened, let alone an Innate Supreme Treasure, not even scraps might remain.
This was also why Ran Deng had added the Qiankun Ruler when refining the Twenty-Four Heavens.
The Qiankun Ruler possessed the power of space and could stabilize the evolved Twenty-Four Heavens, allowing them to truly take form.
Minghe did not have the Qiankun Ruler, and what he had refined was a "Chaos Pearl" formed from the fusion of all Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls.
A mere Qiankun Ruler would not have been able to stabilize the current "Chaos Pearl" anyway.
However, Minghe had something even better to replace it with: the top-tier innate spiritual root of the Primordial World before him.
The Hollow Willow Tree.
"Hah!"
Holding the "Chaos Pearl" in his palm, Minghe rose to his feet and looked at the Hollow Willow Tree before him.
Minghe let out a long breath. Then, with a thought, five dazzling divine lights shot into the sky behind him.
They were the Five-Colored Divine Light.
Minghe poured his magic power into the Five-Colored Divine Light and activated it.
Then he fiercely swept it toward the Hollow Willow Tree.
In an instant, the Hollow Willow Tree was swept away by Minghe and fell into the divine light.
Minghe did not linger. After taking the Hollow Willow Tree, his figure flashed, and he entered the interior of the "Chaos Pearl."
Upon entering the "Chaos Pearl," he found chaos all around him, just as expected. Yet this chaos was extremely unstable.
Like raging waves, cracks appeared from time to time, devouring everything.
There were also earth, water, fire, wind, lightning, and other phenomena born from chaotic fissures, filling the place with danger.
But when Minghe entered and saw this situation, he released the Hollow Willow Tree.
Immediately, the Hollow Willow Tree took root upon landing, planting itself within the chaos.
Rings of silver-white light rippled outward. Wherever they passed, the chaos gradually calmed.
Minghe waited silently. After an unknown amount of time, the entire interior of the "Chaos Pearl" was finally filled with streams of silver-white light.
The transplanted Hollow Willow Tree continuously transformed this place.
This place had truly become a realm of chaos, and its space was constantly being reinforced.
As time passed, this chaos would even evolve further.
By then, it would truly evolve into a world.
The inner space of the "Chaos Pearl," formed from the fusion of the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, would become a world.
At the very least, this world would be a major world.
By then, Minghe would effectively possess a major world as his foundation, empowering himself.
Minghe's strength would also increase tremendously.
As for using this major world to attain the Dao, that was impossible.
After all, this was no longer the original Chaos Pearl, but a Chaos Pearl that had been fused anew.
It was merely an Innate Supreme Treasure.
Of course, this Chaos Pearl held great potential, because it contained the Hollow Willow Tree, a spiritual root with the space attribute.
As the Hollow Willow Tree continued growing within it, continuously transforming the pearl through the power of space,
the pearl's power would continue to grow.
Speaking of which, when Minghe had used the Five-Colored Divine Light to transplant the Hollow Willow Tree earlier,
he had unexpectedly discovered that the soil originally used to grow the Hollow Willow Tree was also extraordinary.
It was Nine Heavens Breathing Soil!
Minghe had gained another divine treasure. Nine Heavens Breathing Soil was a divine treasure of the earth element.
Even a single grain was incomparably precious, let alone this much Nine Heavens Breathing Soil.
If Minghe were to comprehend the Law of Creation in the future, he might even be able to follow Nuwa's example.
He could use Three Lights Divine Water and Nine Heavens Breathing Soil to create living beings.
Of course, that was only talk. Creating living beings was not something one could do freely.
If he created beings unrecognized by the Heavenly Dao, heavenly tribulation might strike him. The losses would outweigh the gains.
Watching the Hollow Willow Tree continuously transform the Chaos Pearl as the Chaos Pearl gradually stabilized,
Minghe finally relaxed. He took out some Three Lights Divine Water and sprinkled it over the Hollow Willow Tree.
It was to replenish the Hollow Willow Tree's expenditure this time.
Then Minghe's figure flashed, and he left the Chaos Pearl, returning to Mount Fangzhang.
Holding the Chaos Pearl in his palm, Minghe let out a breath.
This treasure refinement had been a success. The Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls had successfully fused into the Chaos Pearl.
He now possessed his first Innate Supreme Treasure!
Minghe looked around and saw that the surroundings had already become barren. Even the spiritual energy that had once filled the island now seemed somewhat thin.
Naturally, this was thanks to the thorough plundering carried out by the Blood God Son avatars Minghe had sent out earlier. Later, the fusion of the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls had directly devoured more than half of the island's spiritual energy.
If the Spirit Vein underground had not continuously released spiritual energy, Mount Fangzhang would truly have become a barren, impoverished wasteland where not even birds would shit.
However, Minghe clearly had precisely such a plan. He did not intend to leave the Spirit Vein beneath Mount Fangzhang behind.
After all, the reason had already been stated. With a thought from Minghe, a yellow divine light rose behind him.
It was the yellow divine light among the Five-Colored Divine Light, corresponding to the earth element. Minghe activated this divine light.
It plunged deep into the ground beneath Mount Fangzhang amid rumbling booms.
The earth split apart, and the entire island shook violently. The ground cracked open like a spiderweb.
Boom!
With a tremendous explosion, an enormous Spirit Vein was finally pulled from the earth.
In the end, the Spirit Vein was collected into the yellow divine light, which then sent it toward the Chaos Pearl in Minghe's hand.
The Spirit Vein was smoothly delivered into the Chaos Pearl and stored within it.
This Spirit Vein could both be absorbed by the Hollow Willow Tree and serve as the Spirit Vein of the future world inside the Chaos Pearl.
After all, even in the Primordial World, there were not many Spirit Veins of such size to be found.
Moreover, most of them already had owners, while Minghe did not dare touch some of those without owners either.
If he touched them, he would be struck by heavenly lightning.
Mount Fangzhang was still better. It was beyond the control of the Heavenly Dao, so he could simply strip it clean.
