The Sea-Calming Divine Pearl contained a Purple Mansion space of its own, so naturally, a space origin existed within it.
Lin Tian gazed at the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl hovering before him, his vine branches and leaves swaying incessantly.
"Without a doubt, I'm the chosen one!"
"My innate foundations weren't good enough to form a Purple Mansion space on my own, and I lacked the space origin needed to enter the Profound Immortal realm, but the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl has filled that gap for me!"
With that thought, Lin Tian began extracting the space origin without hesitation!
In truth, extracting a space origin often posed enormous risks to Heavenly Immortals at Lin Tian's level if their innate foundations and abilities were inadequate.
But the degree of risk also depended on what he was extracting it from. This was no worthless magical treasure, but the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl, a Houtian Spiritual Treasure that had nearly capsized the entire Chan Sect during the Investiture of the Gods Upheaval!
Countless rays of deep blue light suddenly emerged from the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl and shot toward Lin Tian.
This deep blue light differed from spiritual energy essence and other vital energies naturally nurtured by heaven and earth.
Within the countless rays of deep blue light emitted by the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl, Lin Tian could sense extremely faint threads of spatial information!
Clearly.
Those extremely faint threads of spatial information came from the space true source naturally nurtured within the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl itself!
The moment Lin Tian sensed that spatial information, excitement surged through him, and his heart pounded relentlessly. Though he had no heart, he could still feel his energy falling into disorder from his excitement.
After all.
With a space origin, once a Purple Mansion condensed inside him, he could open up his own Purple Mansion Grotto-Heaven within his body!
And since Pan Gu had split heaven from earth, only the Primordial Gods with the very finest innate foundations had been capable of opening their own Purple Mansion Grotto-Heavens while they were still weak, in the Heavenly Immortal realm!
Once he successfully opened a Purple Mansion space within his body, its initial expanse could reach a full thousand li!
Even a useless grotto-heaven could serve as his own storage cave, his own Zhoukoudian.
Moreover, once his Purple Mansion space finished condensing, Lin Tian could also complete his evolution, advance his innate foundations to the next stage, and seize this opportunity to make his cultivation soar.
"Refine the space origin. Once complete, the host may use Spatial Traversal freely with a mere thought! Speed through the void will reach its utmost limit!" "Evolved race name: Primordial Green Leaf!"
The system's notification rang out in Lin Tian's mind.
Overjoyed, he chuckled. "Another divine ability in my pocket!"
"Refining the space origin must be completed personally! All current evolution points will be consumed automatically! Racial evolution costs 10,000 evolution points, and cultivation will advance to Early Profound Immortal!"
The system's notifications continued ringing in Lin Tian's mind.
At that moment.
Lin Tian had already received the strengthening bestowed by the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl's space true source!
His cultivation broke past the peak of True Immortal!
His innate foundations also changed, and he gained a divine ability: Void Traversal!
Of all these changes, Lin Tian looked forward most to the transformation of his innate foundations.
As the notification faded, countless rays of deep blue light enveloped him in an instant.
Vast torrents of spiritual energy from heaven and earth washed madly through his body.
Under that boundless flood of spiritual energy, Lin Tian's form of life gradually began to change.
His original fifty-six leaves now shot upward wildly!
His vines grew furiously, soon reaching more than ten zhang in height!
The vivid red light upon his vine leaves gradually shed its bewitching radiance.
In an instant, a deep blue sheen washed over them!
And that sheen came precisely from the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl's space origin, whose radiance made the heart tremble!
Yet even though his vine leaves had become lush and deep blue, they retained their former, extraordinarily sharp quality. Their edges were still like sword blades!
A sharpness capable of severing all things poured ceaselessly from the edges of his leaves!
Delighted, Lin Tian could not help shaking his leaves!
As he shook them, a seemingly light, floating leaf suddenly stirred streaks of cold brilliance through the surroundings!
They actually left marks upon the void!
This wondrous power over the void was so formidable that it left him speechless.
Sensing his transformation, Lin Tian could not help marveling inwardly!
He could feel that his current self was stronger than before he refined the space origin by far more than a little!
Such was the tremendous transformation brought about by a change in innate foundations!
This was also why innate foundations had been valued so highly in the ancient Primordial World.
At that moment, Lin Tian glanced at his system panel:
Name: Lin Tian Race: Primordial Green Leaf Cultivation: Early Profound Immortal. Divine abilities: Bloodthirst, Void Traversal. Items in Purple Mansion space: None Origin: Space origin Evolution progress: 0/99999 Evolution mission: Continue acquiring evolution points, as measured by the progress bar. Once the progress bar is full, acquire the next origin to evolve your innate foundations again!
Gazing at the system panel in his mind.
Lin Tian felt equal parts joy and worry, and could only smile bitterly.
His innate foundations had, in fact, already evolved to a level that ranked as second-rate in the Primordial World.
But the further he progressed, the harder it would be to meet the Evolution Points requirements.
The difficulty increased tenfold with each successive stage!
Following that calculation, by the time he wanted to enter the Quasi-Saint realm, he would need close to a hundred million evolution points at the very least!
That was enough to worry him to death, damn it.
Lin Tian said with a bitter smile, "Long, long is the road ahead; above and below, I shall seek my way! Let's set a small goal and conquer the Profound Immortal realm first."
Although the system was a beast that devoured evolution points, fortunately, Lin Tian was improving fast enough.
In the blink of an eye.
He had already composed himself.
Having gained a new divine ability through this round of advancement, Lin Tian was eager to test its power.
He immediately shook his vines!
A vine stretched out and lashed toward the sky!
It traced a profoundly mysterious path!
Spatial Traversal activated at once.
He wanted to use this ability to traverse space and see whether he could break through the island's innate formation!
With a whoosh!
The void rippled!
Lin Tian shot out in an instant.
Then he vanished from the sky above the island and appeared outside.
This Void Traversal ability was convenient indeed!
Thrilled, Lin Tian turned his gaze toward the several islands below.
Then he activated his divine ability again, intending to break through the Island-Protecting Formation and enter those islands.
Compared with the island where Lin Tian had been before, these islands brimmed with even richer spiritual energy and countless auspicious signs, making them better suited to cultivation!
More importantly, these islands were also shielded by innate laws.
Clearly.
There was every likelihood that precious treasures lay hidden on these islands too!
However, when Lin Tian activated Void Traversal and plunged toward the islands below, an invisible force hurled him back!
His ability to traverse space had actually become completely ineffective before this island's formation.
Lin Tian stood alone atop the clouds in the whistling, chilly wind, his leaves swaying in the breeze, his feelings somewhat tangled.
