Having only met the group a few times, Li Xingkong didn't press further and simply nodded before stepping out through the door.
There are countless spatial folds around the Jade Void Palace, leading to all parts of the Primordial World. Li Xingkong didn't ask the system, but simply followed his heart and stepped into one of the folds.
Since the goal is to find a suitable place to cultivate one's own little world, it's naturally best to choose a place that suits one's taste and brings good luck.
Deliberately pursuing something can actually make you feel uncomfortable.
After passing through the folded space, Li Xingkong found himself above a vast ocean, with endless water stretching out in all directions, its end nowhere in sight.
Having chosen a direction, Li Xingkong flew directly forward. Planting the seed here was clearly not a good idea; the area where space folds was relatively busy with people coming and going. It would be better to find a quieter place.
After flying forward at full speed for more than half a month, Li Xingkong finally saw things other than the sea.
Scattered around are the floating islands, their landscapes quite primitive and seemingly uninhabited.
The Primordial World is vast, and there are countless places like this, so the probability of encountering other cultivators is actually quite small.
These flying islands were quite in line with Li Xingkong's aesthetic, Li Xingkong had the idea of planting a seed there.
"You certainly know how to pick a place."
The system looked around and was clearly somewhat satisfied with the environment.
The environment is great, the view is expansive, and the aesthetics of this flying island are quite impressive.
"Of course, this place is really nice."
Li Xingkong spread his Divine Sense and began to explore the surroundings. Although he had the idea of making this place his own training ground, he still needed to investigate first to see if there were any unexpected risks.
Wherever his Divine Sense reached, all was calm and tranquil. Even the sea beneath his feet was quiet, and the ocean presented a thriving scene.
After exploring, Li Xingkong found the largest flying island in the center and dropped the seed he was holding onto it.
The Bodhi tree seed seemed to land outside of reality; it vanished the moment it touched the ground. Then, Li Xingkong saw a green plant sprout branches from the void, like tentacles, enveloping the entire flying island.
Li Xingkong discovered that the growth of this plant could be controlled by his Divine Sense, and that it was not only composed of plants.
Once connected to the plant, Li Xingkong felt as if he had entered creative mode.
Whatever he thinks, the plant can become that way.
Pavilions and towers, flying locks soaring through the air— Li Xingkong was having a wonderful time.
Just after Li Xingkong finalized its design, an even more powerful spatial force emanated from the entire Bodhi tree.
A small world was born in this explosion, and it resided within the palace complex formed by the Bodhi trees.
It's called a small world, but only in the context of the Primordial World world. In Li Xingkong's opinion, this small world is big enough to contain hundreds of star sectors.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's a newly born microcosm.
The entire microcosm's construction authority is in Li Xingkong's hands; he can fabricate it at will.
Whether he constructs galaxies according to the original universe or deduces his own set of rules to construct a pure supercontinent, it's all up to him.
Li Xingkong didn't think too much about it. In his own little world, he naturally thought of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas is a remarkable book, and the world it depicts is quite fantastical.
Since Li Xingkong has the means to create a place for himself to live, he might as well replicate it.
He left the construction work to the Hexagram, and then began to control the entire small world to change. Li Xingkong then looked at the system.
As Li Xingkong walked out of the Jade Void Palace, the flattery from those people naturally raised a new question for him.
In this Primordial World and untamed world, is one's origin really that important?
"System? What's this so-called 'origin' all about?"
"Background, naturally, refers to a person's family background, Creation, moral character, and a whole host of other past events."
The system knew that Li Xingkong would definitely ask this question.
"The universe is vast, and there are countless races, but most of the cultivators you've encountered are humanoid. Do you know why?"
"Because human form is easier to cultivate?"
Li Xingkong gave a tentative answer.
"Wrong, because in the earliest times, the strongest cultivators were in human form, so after embarking on the path of cultivation, everyone transformed into human form."
"That's the first point: you have impeccable lineage, you're a born human, and you're naturally suited for the path of cultivation."
"Secondly, regarding your background, you were trained by me. We are direct descendants of the Yuanjun. You should know that the Primordial Yuanjun doesn't personally meet every cultivator. The fact that she was willing to meet you personally can only mean that she intends to take you as her true disciple."
" Yuanjun is a third-generation direct descendant of the Jade Void Palace. If you truly enter her sect, you will be a fourth-generation disciple, which is a very high rank. Strictly speaking, many great cultivators would have to call you 'Senior Brother.'"
"Then there's Creation and circumstances. That goes without saying. All along the way, you've been in my sight. You're naturally peaceful and have a heart that yearns for the Way, so there's nothing wrong with you. And to have encountered that wicked woman's favor—your circumstances are truly one in a million."
"Putting everything else aside, your background is several times stronger than those people you met at the Jade Void Palace."
"No wonder... this Primordial World places too much emphasis on origins."
Li Xingkong understood that by simply observing a person's background, one could determine their personality and habits, and whether they were compatible with him.
Naturally, it's very important.
"Moreover, besides the Jade Void Palace, other forces also place great importance on lineage, especially the Demon Clan, who are obsessed with lineage and bloodline."
"He's obsessed with the idea of his bloodline reverting to its ancestral form all the time; he's practically possessed."
Li Xingkong shook his head. It seems that this Primordial World is not a benevolent place after all.
"A good patron can bring unparalleled help to a cultivator, and naturally, they will be praised."
"But these are things that can be achieved through hard work..."
"Effort is also a talent; not everyone can persist in making efforts."
As Li Xingkong pondered, the system noticed that the small world of the Bodhi tree had already been constructed.
The entire world is connected to the outside world through a single tree; once you step inside the tree, you enter your own little world.
Reminded by the system, Li Xingkong snapped out of his daze, reached out and pulled out a small world, which suddenly opened.
Li Xingkong, carrying the system, walked straight inside.
