Chapter 46 The Innate Star Tree
The Star Pearl, a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure! Formed from fragments of the Chaos Pearl fused with the starlight of the heavens, it possesses twenty innate divine restrictions.
It contains a miniature starry sky, generating a stream of innate stellar energy every thousand years. It can also emit starlight to weaken a person's magical power.
However, while the Star Pearl is quite good, as a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, it falls short of concealing itself from Fuxi's perception. With a hint of doubt, Feng Zichen probed the Star Pearl with his divine sense. Inside the Star Pearl, at the center of the vast starry sky, surrounded by countless stars, a divine tree was rooted, drooping wisps of stellar energy. This divine tree was not tall, only about ten thousand feet. But in Feng Zichen's eyes, it was incredibly majestic, seemingly filling the entire void.
The divine tree's root system was extremely developed, rooted in the void, seemingly connected to the endless space. One could see streams of pure stellar power flowing along the roots, providing nourishment to the tree.
Among countless tiny roots, three hundred and sixty-five enormous roots stood out prominently. From the stellar energy they absorbed, Feng Zichen sensed the aura of the primordial star.
This divine tree's roots had actually traversed countless layers of void, taking root in countless primordial stars. It drew primordial energy from the primordial stars to strengthen itself.
"This is... the Primordial Star Tree?!"
Seeing this divine tree, Feng Zichen was overjoyed. This was a top-grade primordial spiritual root. No wonder Fuxi couldn't detect the Star Pearl; it turned out this tree was hidden inside.
As a top-grade primordial spiritual root, the essence of the Primordial Star Tree was comparable to that of a quasi-sage. In addition, the primordial spiritual root's ability to automatically isolate celestial secrets meant that only those with the right destiny could glimpse its presence.
Although Fuxi was strong, he had not yet reached the level of later generations, so naturally, he could not discover its trace.
He never expected to gain such a great harvest from a single trip to the Heavenly Court. With this tree, the strength of the human race could advance even further.
Thinking this, Feng Zichen quickly sat down cross-legged and transplanted the Innate Star Tree into the Chaos Pearl. Then, his primordial spirit entered the Chaos Pearl, using the chaotic energy within to begin refining the Innate Star Tree.
Such a treasure, until refined, was not truly in his possession and risked loss. Therefore, it was best to refine it as soon as possible.
Spiritual roots like the Innate Star Tree possessed extremely high inherent qualities. Once they took form, they possessed the cultivation of a quasi-saint, surpassing the aptitude of many innate gods and demons.
Therefore, top-grade innate spiritual roots were suppressed by the Heavenly Dao. Let alone taking form, even developing sentience was extremely difficult.
Throughout the entire prehistoric world, most top-grade innate spiritual roots that appeared fell into the hands of the prehistoric world's top supernatural powers, refined and having their own fortune suppressed.
Only the Innate Bodhi Tree, with the help of the Guide Daoist, took form.
This person was the Zhunti Daoist, one of the future Six Saints. This shows just how heaven-defying the aptitude of an innate spiritual root taking form is.
Lacking sentience, refining the Innate Star Tree was far simpler than refining an Innate Spiritual Treasure. With the aid of Chaos Qi, Feng Zichen imprinted his own mark onto the Innate Star Tree within a century.
As the Innate Star Tree came under Feng Zichen's control, a memory from the Chaos Era flowed from it into his mind.
A terrifying battle erupted within the chaos. Three thousand demon gods unleashed various Great Dao divine powers, simultaneously attacking Pangu.
Pangu, standing on a Chaos Green Lotus, emitted a dazzling azure light, blocking all the divine powers. Then, he swung his giant axe, cleaving towards the Chaos Demon Gods.
A beam of axe light cleaved through the chaos, dividing it into Yin and Yang, giving rise to all things. Several Chaos Demon Gods were struck by the axe light, their true spirits instantly dissipating and their physical bodies collapsing, merging into the newly born world.
One demon god, enveloped in starlight, released a wisp of its essence as its physical body shattered, falling into the starry sky. Not long after, the primordial world was created, and Pangu transformed into all things, giving birth to the celestial sphere.
At this time, the primordial chaos of the demon god's origin emerged from the starry sky. Taking advantage of the opportunity, it plundered the origin of the celestial sphere to strengthen itself, intending to use it to transform into a primordial god-demon and descend upon the primordial world.
Suddenly, a beam of axe light appeared from nowhere, cleaving into the starry sky. "Pangu!"
A grief-stricken roar resounded, and the Star Demon God's intelligence was obliterated. Only a wisp of the Demon God's essence remained, merging with the essence of the Zhou Tian stars, transforming into a seed, hidden in the starry sky.
The scene ended there.
Sealing the memory deep within his sea of consciousness, Feng Zichen let out a long sigh. Watching battles at the Great Luo level was fraught with immense danger, filled with opportunities. A slight misstep could lead to annihilation.
Therefore, Feng Zichen always only glanced at battles of this level, daring not to delve deeper into their meaning.
After transmitting the memories of the Chaos Era, the Innate Star Tree trembled. Countless inheritances of the Star Dao emerged from it, surging towards Feng Zichen.
These inheritances included not only the Zhou Tian stars of the primordial world but also the Star Dao of the Star Demon God. For a moment, Feng Zichen was completely captivated by the Great Dao of the Stars, falling into a state of enlightenment.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of years had passed.
"I never imagined that the Innate Star Tree was formed from the Star Demon God and the origin of the Zhou Tian stars. It contains the Great Dao of the Stars, what a pleasant surprise!"
Awakening from his meditation, Feng Zichen was overjoyed.
After refining the Innate Star Tree, its various functions and origins automatically appeared in Feng Zichen's mind.
The Innate Star Tree can attract endless stellar power and naturally carries a trace of the Zhou Tian star's fortune. Obtaining it can strengthen one's own fortune and conceal one's heavenly secrets.
Every Yuan Hui (a unit of time in Chinese astrology), it can also give birth to 365 Star Fruits, corresponding to the main star of the Primordial World. As long as one eats a Star Fruit, one can transform into a Star Body of the corresponding star and mobilize a portion of that star's power.
Unfortunately, the Innate Star Tree is currently only a sapling, and all its functions cannot be fully utilized; it can only enhance one's own fortune.
Even so, Feng Zichen was still very satisfied. Leaving aside the value of a top-grade innate spiritual root, the inheritance of the Great Dao of the Stars alone made this trip worthwhile. Moreover, he had gained so much more.
With a wave of his hand, the Purple Chen Sword appeared in his grasp. Then, he extracted the remaining stellar essence from the Star Pearl after it had been devoured by the Chaos Pearl and infused it into the
Purple Chen Sword. Absorbing the stellar essence, the Purple Chen Sword advanced further. The shadows of the celestial stars appeared on its blade, and its innate spiritual light shone even brighter.
Seeing this, Feng Zichen nodded in satisfaction. Only with the appearance of the celestial stars did the Purple Chen Sword possess the aura of a kingly sword.
"Zichen, are you feeling better?"
Just as Feng Zichen was about to test the power of the Purple Chen Sword, Ao Xue's voice suddenly came from outside the hall, causing him to stop what he was doing. He got up and went out.
"After a period of seclusion, I've made some progress and am now much better!" Reaching
Ao Xue, Feng Zichen replied.
"Wow! You broke through! How did it happen so quickly?"
Seeing that Feng Zichen had not only recovered but also advanced in cultivation, Ao Xue was somewhat surprised.
