Then the Ginseng Fruit Tree tore away half of its own Earth's Embryonic Membrane!
It delivered it to Lin Tian.
At the same time, a lush, verdant ball of green light flew out from among the Ginseng Fruit Tree's luxuriant branches and leaves.
This green ball of light was none other than the divine ability technique, Universe in the Sleeve!
The green light immediately flew into Lin Tian's sea of consciousness.
In an instant.
The system notification sounded:
"Obtained the post-heavenly earth-grade technique [Universe in the Sleeve]... evolution points increased by 700!"
At the same time.
Lin Tian also stored that half of Earth's Embryonic Membrane inside his Purple Mansion space.
Then, before the deep, secluded valley, he bid farewell to the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
As he left,
The Ginseng Fruit Tree swayed its branches and sent a spiritual message to Lin Tian as he activated his ability to travel through the void:
"Fellow Daoist Primordial Azure Vine, please come visit me often whenever you have time."
Lin Tian calmly sent a spiritual message back: "Fellow Daoist Grass-Return Pellet, we shall meet again among the mountains and rivers."
After leaving the secluded valley where the Ginseng Fruit Tree lived, Lin Tian immediately sought out a hidden place.
This hidden place lay deep within a rugged mountain range amid the forest.
He first settled the little beast, which was lying in the azure vine hammock on his body.
Then he carved out a cave abode and immediately began devouring and refining within it.
"Devoured one portion of wood origin. Evolution points increased by 7,000!" "Congratulations, host. Your evolution bar is full, and all three origins have been gathered. By consuming all your evolution points, you can immediately undergo racial evolution." "Consumed 999,999 evolution points. Cultivation advanced to the early Great Unity Golden Immortal stage. Ren water origin, thunder origin, and wood origin have fused. Racial form changed to: Primordial Ninefold Nether Vine!"
Notification after notification rang out in Lin Tian's mind.
In an instant, the twelve azure leaves on Lin Tian's vine suddenly shone with divine light in three different colors.
For a moment, the dark chamber blazed with radiance, shimmering with a dazzling array of colors. It was a magnificent sight!
At the same time.
Vast, surging divine power poured into every leaf in an instant. This wondrous, profound divine power immediately strengthened Lin Tian's Primordial Spirit.
And in that instant, his vine body, hundreds of zhang tall, suddenly began shrinking slowly.
Rather than alarmed, Lin Tian was delighted!
For an Innate Spiritual Root like Lin Tian, a smaller body was not a bad thing, but a tremendous boon!
He could already feel himself rapidly growing stronger.
As excitement surged through Lin Tian, waves of deep, mysterious aura from the ancient primordial world emanated from those ten vine leaves shining with three different lights!
This aura was profound beyond imagining.
Even Lin Tian himself, upon sensing a trace of it, felt as though he stood before the Nine Nether Abyss. An emotion of despair and helplessness unwittingly rose in his heart!
Of course, Lin Tian dispelled that emotion in an instant.
I wonder what powerful innate divine abilities I'll have after evolving into a Primordial Ninefold Nether Vine?
Lin Tian pondered inwardly.
He shook his twelve vine leaves.
The leaves danced lightly, moving without wind and radiating a vast, incredibly wondrous aura.
As that aura spread, a trace of bone-piercing cold shot out from the twelve leaves!
In an instant, it froze everything within several thousand li!
However, Lin Tian had not unleashed the full Ninefold Nether Divine Ability of all twelve leaves!
Had he truly unleashed it, ten thousand li would have been sealed in ice at once.
The originally azure leaves had also changed from lush green to the glassy blue of the deep netherworld. At a glance, they resembled ice sculptures and looked rather adorable.
But gazing at them for too long would cause a chill to rise in one's heart.
The leaves, originally more than ten zhang across, had also shrunk to around six zhang in an instant. Compared with before, they were less thin and more substantial, looking somewhat fleshy.
Lin Tian casually waved one of the Ninefold Nether Vine leaves on his body,
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The surrounding air immediately rang with cracking sounds like shattering glass.
His Ninefold Nether Divine Ability had frozen the surrounding air into blocks of ice, which the nether leaves' cutting rays then shattered completely.
Moreover, those azure rays of the Nine Hells carried a trace of lightning that struck directly into the depths of the soul!
That lightning came from a trace of the lightning power within the thunder origin.
"The host has fused three origins. The system prioritizes extracting the strongest trace of origin within them. Congratulations, host. You have obtained the divine ability: Thunderbolt Force! This divine ability evolved from nine heavens azure lightning, then developed into Thunder Marsh in the depths of the Nine Hells! This lightning contains world-destroying might. None without great fortune and great power can withstand it. Once ninefold nether frost emerges, ten thousand li are sealed in ice. A single lightning strike shatters the void!"
As the system notification sounded in Lin Tian's mind.
Delight appeared on Lin Tian's face.
He truly had not expected the innate divine ability he obtained this time to be so ridiculously powerful.
And paired with his new race, the Primordial Ninefold Nether Vine, this divine ability actually created a striking contrast.
This gain truly filled Lin Tian with joy.
No matter how he looked at it, after setting foot on the Primordial Continent, he had actually waited outside the little beast's killing formation for tens of thousands of years to obtain this trace of thunder origin.
Had he left back then, this innate origin capable of developing such terrifying power would never have been his.
As Lin Tian reflected on this.
Awoo! Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!
The little beast, sheltering outside the cave abode carved into this rugged mountain range, was now howling miserably.
Even though the little beast had reached the peak Great Unity Golden Immortal stage.
When faced with the innate divine ability of the Ninefold Nether Vine emanating from Lin Tian, the little beast could not endure it for even a moment.
Hearing the little beast's mournful cries, Lin Tian stirred inwardly. Countless Ninefold Nether Vines on his body slithered out of the cave abode like spirit serpents.
Then a passage leading outside immediately opened in the cave abode he had sealed, and he carried the incessantly wailing little beast inside.
Lin Tian would not hide these outward changes in how he cultivated and evolved from the little beast.
After all, this little beast was his first and only companion in the hundreds of thousands of years since he had transmigrated into the primordial world and set foot on the Primordial Continent.
Lin Tian settled the little beast inside the cave abode, then reined in his delight and asked the system:
"System, can I fuse [Universe in the Sleeve], an innate divine ability that originally belongs to the Ginseng Fruit Spiritual Root, into my racial bloodline?"
The system notification sounded: "It can be incorporated into your racial bloodline and become your innate divine ability. A divine ability technique is neither an origin nor a spirit treasure, so it has no bloodline-strengthening effect."
"Ding. Detected that the host is about to fuse another race's innate divine ability, [Universe in the Sleeve], into his racial bloodline. Proceed with fusion?"
"Fuse."
Excitement surged in Lin Tian's heart once more.
Originally, [Universe in the Sleeve], which the Ginseng Fruit Tree had willingly given him and which would become the signature skill of Zhen Yuanzi, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, in later ages, was an innate divine ability exclusive to the Ginseng Fruit Spiritual Root. No other race could successfully cultivate it.
Yet now, with the system's help, Lin Tian could fuse this innate divine ability that originally belonged to the Ginseng Fruit Tree into his own racial bloodline, making it one of his own innate divine abilities!
