Awooo! Awooo! Awooo!
Only then did the Beast Emperor notice that the once-barren landscape within the Innate Ten-Direction Formation had become lush and verdant.
Beyond the change in scenery, the auras of countless heavenly materials, rare treasures, and Spirit Treasures soared skyward from the mountain range, its overlapping green peaks stretching across tens of millions of miles!
Clearly, everything they had seen before had been an illusion!
The only thing that remained real was the tallest peak towering amid those verdant mountains, which had been severed halfway up.
Countless twinkling stars also dotted the sky within the Innate Formation.
These stars shared faint connections through Daoist principles not only with Lin Tian, but with the Little Beast Emperor as well.
The little beast was completely stunned by the changes around it.
A moment later, the nine-zhang-tall Little Beast Emperor bounced in place like a delighted big cat, then charged into the lush mountain range stretching tens of millions of miles without looking back, romping to its heart's content.
Meanwhile.
Lin Tian had already turned his gaze toward the peak at the center of the Innate Formation, surrounded by overlapping verdant mountains-the very peak whose upper half he had blasted away.
From the platform atop that Lone Peak, a strange, elusive aura still faintly emanated.
Having already refined five Innate Formations and collected five strands of Origin, Lin Tian knew this disturbance clearly indicated the presence of an astonishing treasure.
Moreover, it could manifest another innate illusion within this Innate Ten-Direction Formation.
Without question, the treasure within this formation was anything but ordinary!
With a thought, Lin Tian immediately activated his increasingly refined divine ability, Void Traversal.
In an instant, he arrived atop the platform of this Lone Peak.
He had previously excavated a cave abode within this Lone Peak, only for the Innate Sea-Covering Formation to crush it apart, leaving an enormous platform spanning tens of thousands of miles, as flat as though sliced by a blade.
But.
When Lin Tian activated Void Traversal, the divine ability that allowed him to enter any formation in a single step.
It immediately failed before the Innate Formation on this platform.
"A ghost wall?!"
Standing before the platform, Lin Tian was utterly astonished.
In that brief instant, he had already attempted Void Traversal no fewer than a thousand times!
Every time he traversed into the platform, he immediately returned to his original position!
In other words, the point from which he stepped out was also the destination of his traversal.
If this wasn't a ghost wall, what was it?
This situation immediately sent shock surging through Lin Tian's heart.
This Innate Formation had pushed the application of Space Law to its utmost limit.
Furthermore, it had evolved a new law of the Great Dao, distinct from Space Law.
And this new law of the Great Dao emanated from the treasure hidden within the formation.
Awooo, awooo! Awooo, awooo!
In those few breaths, the nine-zhang-tall Little Beast Emperor had already roamed the entire mountain range spanning tens of millions of miles. In the end, it too encountered what seemed like a ghost wall: no matter which divine ability it activated, it could not step into the formation on the mountaintop platform.
Eventually, it crouched beside Lin Tian like an enormous dog.
Even crouching beside him, it stood twice as tall as Lin Tian.
Now it extended a two-zhang-wide paw and nudged Lin Tian, who stood silently before the platform, with several heavy thumps.
Then it gestured twice with its paw in front of Lin Tian.
Its meaning was: "There's a great treasure inside the formation."
Naturally, Lin Tian knew there was a great treasure inside.
Moreover, with a formation this bizarre, the harder it was to enter, the higher the grade of the treasure within!
As far as Lin Tian could tell, the treasure inside should be related to illusions and Space Law.
However.
Among the many innate spiritual treasures, innate supreme treasures, houtian supreme treasures, and houtian spiritual treasures of the Primordial World, Lin Tian could not recall a single one associated with illusions at that moment.
Thus.
Lin Tian became even more eager to obtain the treasure within the innate illusion ten-direction formation on the Lone Peak's platform.
He extended a Nine Nether Vine and laid it against the laws of this innate illusion formation.
At the very moment his Nine Nether Vine reached into the illusion formation.
He was actually poised within a subtle instant and a subtle space between "entered" and "not yet entered."
Then, at that moment, Lin Tian activated his [Devour] divine ability to refine the innate illusion formation!
As Lin Tian began refining this formation.
Another of his vines burrowed beneath this Lone Peak and excavated a cave abode spanning tens of thousands of miles. Inside the cave abode, a Nine Nether Vine formed the Hongmeng Houtian Eight-Direction Cage Formation.
Within the Hongmeng Houtian Eight-Direction Cage Formation.
A divine leaf began manifesting the mysteries of the Thirty-Six Heavens of the Innate Sea-Covering Formation.
Sensing the wondrous transformations in the mysteries of the Thirty-Six Heavens formation, the Little Beast Emperor, which had lost much of its interest in secluded cultivation, immediately leaped with delight. Without hesitation, it rushed into the cave abode Lin Tian had excavated for it and sat within the Hongmeng Houtian Eight-Direction Cage Formation formed from the Nine Nether Vine, comprehending the profound Daoist principles of the Thirty-Six Heavens Innate Sea-Covering Formation!
"Congratulations, you have devoured a strand of illusion Origin energy. Evolution Points +700." "Congratulations, you have devoured a strand of illusion Origin energy. Evolution Points +750." "Congratulations, you have refined a strand of innate illusion formation energy. Evolution Points +4,000."
System notifications rang continuously through Lin Tian's sea of consciousness.
As the notifications sounded, Lin Tian could not help feeling another surge of delighted surprise.
Just as he had expected, the Innate Formation atop the platform of this Lone Peak was an illusion formation!
Moreover, it was not a houtian illusion formation, but an Innate Formation born before Pan Gu’s World-Opening!
On the Primordial Continent, the most direct way to distinguish the grade of something's roots and origins was whether it was innate or houtian.
What did innate mean?
Anything born in chaos, before Pan Gu’s World-Opening, could be called innate.
Houtian, meanwhile, referred to all things born after Pan Gu’s World-Opening, nurtured naturally by heaven and earth.
Among all innate things, the highest in grade were undoubtedly Pan Gu's body and his three supreme treasures from chaos: the Heaven-Opening Axe, the Chaos Green Lotus, and the Good Fortune Jade Disc!
If the innate supreme treasures of the Primordial World amounted to ten measures, the supreme treasures formed from these three alone accounted for eight.
The remaining innate supreme treasures and innate spiritual treasures were essentially all held by the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods who had escaped alive from beneath the heaven-opening divine axe.
Thus, when these system notifications sounded, Lin Tian had already begun to dimly recall the origins of the treasure within this innate illusion formation.
