Chapter 29 Encountering Treasure in the East Sea
Midway through his journey, the Chaos Pearl within Feng Zichen suddenly stirred, forcing him to stop.
"This is…"
Sensing something, he followed the Chaos Pearl's guidance to an island.
The island was flat and unremarkable, but with the help of the Chaos Pearl, Feng Zichen could clearly sense the pure, innate water elemental energy hidden deep within.
Stepping onto the island, Feng Zichen walked towards the convergence point of the innate water elemental energy.
After only a few steps, the space shifted, as if he had stepped into a world made of water, with boundless waters sweeping towards him.
Innate spiritual water, formed from innate water elemental energy, could destroy one's cultivation. Knowing the terror of this water, Feng Zichen dared not let it get close, and quickly activated the Chaos Pearl.
The Chaos Pearl soared into the air, radiating brilliant light, devouring all the incoming innate spiritual water. In an instant, no more innate spiritual water surged around him.
After circling the Innate Spiritual Water with the Chaos Pearl on his head, Feng Zichen confirmed one thing: he was trapped in a grand formation—the Innate Water Spiritual Formation.
Realizing this, Feng Zichen was not alarmed but rather delighted. A place protected by an innate formation must contain an innate object. And this object, capable of triggering the Chaos Pearl's response, could only be an innate spiritual treasure formed from a fragment of the Chaos Pearl.
After circling for a while, seeing that he couldn't break the formation quickly and fearing he would miss the opportunity to cross the Dragon Gate, Feng Zichen no longer hesitated. He summoned the Chaos Pearl and rammed it fiercely into the formation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The violent shockwaves reverberated for miles around, attracting aquatic experts passing by to rush over and investigate.
The Innate Water Spiritual Formation, unattended, was no match for the Chaos Pearl activated by Feng Zichen. After several impacts, the formation shattered, and a blue pearl flew out, landing in his hand.
"Junior, put down the spiritual treasure!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out, and at the same time, a giant claw appeared above Feng Zichen's head, viciously grabbing down at him.
With a faint smile, Feng Zichen unleashed the Five Emperors Great Divine Power. Instantly, the five energies within his body surged, manifesting the shadows of the Five Emperors, forming a five-colored canopy to block the giant claw.
Then, with a flick of his finger, countless starlight descended, forming four sword lights that shattered the giant claw.
After shattering the giant claw, the sword lights hovered in the air for a moment before slashing at a figure that had suddenly appeared in front of him.
"A mere Celestial Immortal dares to try and hurt me? What a joke!"
Seeing Feng Zichen's attack, the newcomer smiled contemptuously, releasing a Xuanxian realm aura that pressed down on Feng Zichen, completely ignoring the attack of the Four Symbols Sword Light.
Seeing this, Feng Zichen used the Righteous and Shadowless Technique, his body transforming from solid to ethereal, hiding in the void, immune to all attacks.
As the sword light approached the newcomer, it suddenly transformed into the form of the Four Symbols Divine Beasts, forming the Four Symbols Formation and trapping the man within. It unleashed countless sword energies.
"Damn it, what kind of divine power is this?"
The newcomer, trapped in the sword formation, desperately tried to break free while resisting the sword energies.
However, the Four Symbols Sword Formation, empowered by the power of the four symbols, was unbreakable by anyone less than a Golden Immortal. No matter what methods he used, he couldn't budge the formation even slightly.
At this moment, Feng Zichen finally saw the newcomer's appearance clearly. He wore a black robe, appeared middle-aged, and had a slightly rugged face. Combined with his demonic aura, he gave off a fierce impression.
Trapped in the formation, the demon, unable to break it, flew into a rage and transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long black serpent, nearly bursting the sword formation apart.
After revealing its true form, the black serpent's strength increased greatly. The sword energies struck it, clanging loudly, but no longer causing it any harm. Roar!
With a hiss, streaks of dark light surged from the black serpent's body, shaking the Four Symbols Sword Formation violently and nearly shattering it.
Seeing this, Feng Zichen raised his hand, and two more sword lights condensed. One, as virtuous as the heavens, transformed into the shape of a gourd; the other, as steady as the earth, transformed into the shape of a soaring serpent, falling into the Four Symbols Sword
Formation. With the aid of the two sword lights, the sword formation changed again, evolving into the six directions of heaven and earth, forming the Six Harmonies Sword Formation. The moment the formation was completed, endless sword energy swept out from the six directions of heaven, earth, and the six realms. In
just a moment, the black serpent screamed, its physical body shattered, its true spirit dissipated, and it was killed by the sword formation.
Afterwards, Feng Zichen used the flying and teleportation technique to disappear into the void, completely concealing his figure, and rushed towards the Dragon Palace.
In the void, Feng Zichen took out the innate spiritual treasure he had obtained from the innate water spirit formation. Only now did he have time to examine this spiritual treasure.
The Innate Water Spirit Pearl, a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure with thirty innate divine restrictions, is identical to the Chaos Pearl.
Long ago, when Pangu created the world, evolving earth, fire, water, and wind, when the Chaos Pearl shattered, several fragments absorbed a trace of the four elemental essences, forming the Four Spirit Pearls in the primordial world. The Innate Water Spirit Pearl is one of them.
Legend has it that the four spirit pearls combined can form a supreme innate spiritual treasure—the World Pearl.
Whether this is true or not, Feng Zichen doesn't know, nor does he intend to know. After all, even the World Pearl, no matter how good, cannot compare to the Chaos Pearl. Right now, restoring the Chaos Pearl is more important.
Since obtaining the Innate Water Spirit Pearl, the Chaos Pearl has been restless, wanting to devour it. If it weren't for the snake demon's attack, the Chaos Pearl might have already completed its advancement.
Casually tossing the Innate Water Spirit Pearl into the Chaos Pearl, the Chaos Pearl trembled violently, and streams of chaotic energy rushed towards it.
The Innate Water Spirit Pearl emitted a shimmering light, its innate water spirit energy overflowing, resisting the impact of the chaotic energy.
Unfortunately, even though both are top-grade innate spiritual treasures, the Chaos Pearl's predecessor was a Chaos Supreme Treasure, its essence far superior. How could the Innate Water Spirit Pearl compare?
In a short while, the Innate Water Spirit Pearl shattered into countless runes, merging into the Chaos Pearl, leaving only a wisp of innate water spirit essence floating in mid-air.
After absorbing the Innate Water Spirit Pearl, the Chaos Pearl emitted a hazy gray light, generating three more innate divine restrictions before slowly settling down.
Seeing this, Feng Zichen's eyes twitched. A top-grade innate spiritual treasure only generated three innate divine restrictions—that was far too few!
Moreover, the advancement of spiritual treasures became increasingly difficult. How many innate spiritual treasures would be needed to advance to the level of an innate supreme treasure? Thinking of this, Feng Zichen felt a chill run down his spine.
Shaking his head, Feng Zichen put the matter aside. In the end, it was still because his strength was too weak, making him constrained at every turn. If his strength were greater, he could have anything he wanted.
Turning his gaze to the innate water elemental source, Feng Zichen pondered for a moment, then took out the Zichen Sword and infused it with the innate water elemental source. Next, he gathered the power of the celestial bodies and poured it into the Zichen Sword.
Afterward, he cast a spell, manifesting the power of the five elements of heaven and earth. As the five elements circulated, clusters of flames of creation emerged, burning towards the Zichen Sword.
Several years later, the Zichen Sword erupted with dazzling sword light, illuminating an area of tens of thousands of miles, and a chilling aura swept outward.
Through this reforging, the quality of the Zichen Sword greatly increased, transforming into a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure with twenty-four acquired divine restrictions, its surface shimmering with innate spiritual light.
This was a sign of defying the innate.
