Chapter 26 Avatar
Long ago, Pangu, in order to prove his Dao, created the primordial world.
Chaos shattered, giving rise to the pure and turbid energies.
The pure energy, clear and ethereal, slowly rose, transforming into the Nine Heavens; the turbid energy, heavy and heavy, slowly sank, forming the primordial earth.
Pangu perished after creating the world. His primordial spirit, divided into three parts, merged with the primordial pure energy, giving birth to the Three Pure Ones; his twelve drops of primordial essence blood merged with the primordial turbid energy, giving birth to the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
The remaining primordial pure and turbid energies completely merged into the primordial world, becoming the foundation for the evolution of heaven and earth.
Unexpectedly, there was a primordial pure energy source remaining here.
Upon closer inspection, Feng Zichen discovered that this primordial pure energy source had not developed sentience; it was simply a mass of primordial energy.
"What a pity!"
Feng Zichen shook his head.
If this primordial pure energy source had developed sentience and manifested, even if it wasn't a top-tier primordial god or demon, it would still be among the upper echelons.
It should be known that the Three Pure Ones were manifestations of the primordial pure energy source.
However, it was precisely because it lacked sentience that Feng Zichen had this opportunity. Otherwise, where would he find such a perfect treasure for creating an avatar?
As the saying goes, "If Heaven gives something and you don't take it, you'll suffer the consequences."
Since this primordial pure energy source lacked sentience, he wouldn't be polite. With a wave of his hand, he put away the primordial pure energy source and flew towards the Chaos Spirit Spring.
At this time, the prehistoric world was fraught with danger; even those with great supernatural powers couldn't guarantee their own safety. Let alone Feng Zichen, who was at the bottom of the prehistoric world.
By refining the primordial pure energy source into an avatar, when the avatar was born, the original would be in the light, while the avatar would remain hidden. Not only would he have an additional innate god-demon as an ally, but he would also have a way out for himself.
In this way, even if Feng Zichen were to die one day, this avatar could serve as the vessel for his resurrection, giving him a chance to start over.
Feng Zichen had even planned out the future of this avatar.
As an innate god-demon born from the primordial pure energy source, was there a better choice than becoming a disciple of the Three Pure Ones?
In tens of thousands of years, the Three Pure Ones will attain sainthood and open their gates wide on Kunlun Mountain, recruiting disciples.
Given this avatar's shared origin with the Three Pure Ones, it will surely succeed in becoming their disciple.
At that time, this avatar will cultivate peacefully under the protection of the saints, while Feng Zichen, free from worries, can unleash its full potential in the primordial world to prepare for the coming calamity for humanity.
Arriving at the Chaos Spirit Spring, Feng Zichen pondered for a moment and placed the Primordial Pure Qi Source on the lotus platform of the Pure World White Lotus.
Since he himself couldn't refine the Pure World White Lotus, he might as well give it to his avatar as its companion spiritual treasure, allowing it to protect itself.
The avatar is essentially another version of himself; the Pure World White Lotus in its hands is no different from it in his own. Moreover, being born alongside the Pure World White Lotus will accelerate the avatar's birth, a truly multifaceted benefit.
Afterward, Feng Zichen activated the Primordial Dao Seal, and instantly, Primordial Qi surged forth, enveloping the surrounding thousands of miles.
The Three Immortal Islands themselves possessed the ability to conceal the secrets of heaven, and with the added veil of primordial chaos energy, the heavenly secrets here were instantly shrouded in mist, temporarily obscuring the perception of the Heavenly Dao.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Feng Zichen used the Primordial Chaos Dao Seal as a blade, fiercely slashing down on his own true spirit.
A flash of purple light appeared, and the true spirit split in two.
Enduring the excruciating pain of his true spirit being torn apart, Feng Zichen waved his hand, sending one half of his true spirit into the innate pure energy source.
Having refined an avatar from his own true spirit, the avatar had absolutely no possibility of betrayal; it was originally one person, so how could there be any talk of betrayal! As the true spirit entered his body, the innate pure energy erupted with dazzling light, manifesting the Dao of the Nine Heavens' Pure Spirit, with endless runes swirling around it.
A moment later, the light dissipated, and the innate pure energy transformed into a divine embryo, absorbing spiritual energy from all directions. Faintly, Daoist runes flowed across its surface.
Sensing Feng Zichen's true spirit aura, the Pure World White Lotus, which had already refined four divine restrictions, glowed slightly, releasing wisps of creation energy into the divine embryo.
After absorbing the creation energy, the divine embryo exhaled pure innate pure spiritual energy, merging into the Pure World White Lotus, gradually refining the remaining innate divine restrictions.
Seeing this, Feng Zichen nodded in satisfaction. With the aid of the Pure World White Lotus, the speed of his clone's creation would increase significantly.
He put away the Primordial Dao Seal, and the surrounding primordial chaos energy immediately vanished. Without the concealment of the primordial chaos energy, this place reappeared in the Heavenly Dao's sight.
Sensing the aura of the innate gods and demons, the Heavenly Dao lowered its gaze. Instantly, an overwhelming aura descended upon the area, pressing down on Feng Zichen so much that he could barely breathe.
Within the Primordial Pure Spirit Divine Embryo, Feng Zichen's true spirit had just merged with the Primordial Pure Qi Source when he felt an incomparably majestic gaze upon him. Startled, he immediately entered a state of enlightenment, free from thoughts and desires, his mind utterly undisturbed.
When the true spirit entered the divine embryo, the Primordial Dao Seal obscured the Heavenly Dao's vision. As long as Feng Zichen remained free from thoughts and desires, even the Heavenly Dao could not discern the problem. It could only conclude that he was a god-demon nurtured by the Primordial Pure Qi Source.
Sure enough, after observing him for a moment, the Heavenly Dao withdrew its gaze and bestowed various blessings.
Above the nine heavens, boundless Primordial Pure Spirit Qi traversed endless space, descending upon the divine embryo.
In the void, the laws of heaven and earth manifested, enveloping the divine embryo.
Furthermore, the primordial Qi of heaven and earth emerged, merging into the divine embryo.
Even the Pure World White Lotus benefited, bearing a lotus seed, within which flickered a Primordial Undying Spiritual Light, permeated with Primordial Pure Spirit Qi.
A piece of azure jade, radiating a rich, innate spiritual energy, pierced through layers of space and fell into the hands of Feng Zichen within the divine embryo.
This was a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure—the Nine Heavens Immortal Seal—containing thirty-four innate divine restrictions, a companion spiritual treasure bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Dao.
From this point on, the identity of this avatar was recognized by the Heavenly Dao. Even a sage could not deduce its relationship with Feng Zichen.
They would only arrive at the same conclusion as the Heavenly Dao: an innate god-demon nurtured by the source of innate pure energy.
Seeing the Heavenly Dao bestowing so many benefits upon the avatar, Feng Zichen compared himself to it, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
The innate god-demon truly deserved to be called the favored son of Heaven and Earth; even before its birth, it had already been given a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure. What would happen if it were born?
He himself was much worse off. As the first acquired being, he was constantly targeted by the Heavenly Dao, even suffering divine punishment when he first glimpsed the realm of cultivation. If it weren't for his accumulated merit, he would have been annihilated by divine punishment long ago.
However, since the clone was one with him, its things were the same as his own. Thinking this, Feng Zichen's mood instantly improved.
Sweeping away all distracting thoughts, Feng Zichen sat cross-legged, drawing upon the starlight to restore his true spirit. Having severed half of his true spirit at once, he was somewhat exhausted.
This recovery took three hundred years.
Seeing his true spirit shining brightly, even stronger than before, Feng Zichen was in a good mood and rose to walk towards the central hub of Penglai Immortal Island. (
