Chapter 217 Guixu Gods and Demons
However, the next action of the Returning to the Void's will was somewhat unexpected by Feng Zichen.
From the void, the essence of heaven and earth descended, surging into the body of the Pure World White Lotus.
This enhanced its innate essence, improving its grade and causing it to grow a seventh petal, transforming it into a seventh-grade lotus platform.
The essence of heaven and earth descending from the void was the essence of the Returning to the Void.
After the Returning to the Void's will descended, it not only did not destroy the Pure World White Lotus, but also spared no effort to consume its own essence to help the Pure World White Lotus grow.
This unusual action made Feng Zichen somewhat puzzled.
"What's going on?"
While Feng Zichen was pondering, the Pure World White Lotus grew another petal, becoming an eighth-grade lotus platform.
Even so, the essence of the Returning to the Void showed no signs of stopping.
"Amazing!"
Although he didn't understand the current situation, it didn't stop Feng Zichen from being happy. Seeing the Pure World White Lotus growing stronger and stronger, how could its master not be happy?
After several more years, the Will of Returning to the Void finally stopped channeling its essence and slowly faded away. At this time, among the twenty-four Pure World White Lotuses, three blossomed to the ninth grade, advancing to the level of superior-grade innate spiritual treasures.
The first Pure World White Lotus, in particular, underwent an astonishing transformation. Besides the power of purification, the energy of Returning to the Void surged within it. Its color also changed to half black and half white, incredibly eerie.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the tenth petal had already begun to emerge and would soon grow out.
"If this continues, this Pure World White Lotus might become a Black Lotus of Returning to the Void."
Probing the Pure World White Lotus with his divine sense, Feng Zichen discovered that its innate essence was already shifting towards the Path of Returning to the Void.
If one day this lotus could grow twelve petals, becoming a twelve-grade lotus platform, it would advance to the level of a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure.
The path of purification will be completely transformed into the path of return to the void, becoming the supreme treasure of the void.
Rumble!
The power of the Pure World White Lotus greatly increased, causing the Creation Space to expand dramatically. In the blink of an eye, it expanded from a radius of ten thousand miles to a radius of one million miles.
Moreover, the Creation Space, having gained the recognition of the will of the void, has completely merged with the void, becoming an indispensable part of it, and will no longer be attacked by the Qi of the End.
As the Creation Space calmed down, a feeling of completeness suddenly emanated from within the void, as if the previous void was not complete.
Then, a sense of joy spread through the void.
Clearly, the will of the void was very excited!
"Complete?"
"Could it be..."
"The previous void was not complete?"
The sudden feeling of completeness emanating from the void aroused Feng Zichen's curiosity. It was strange that a strange place formed from the body of Pangu was not complete.
Taking advantage of the upheaval in the Ruins of Return, Feng Zichen activated the Dao of Stars, evolving the River of Time and Space to trace the past and future, exploring the secrets of the Ruins of Return.
"So that's how it is!"
After a moment, Feng Zichen withdrew his divine sense, fully understanding the changes in the Ruins of Return.
As the saying goes, extremes beget their opposites. Since the beginning of time, the Ruins of Return had accumulated countless amounts of filth and should have long ago given birth to a mechanism for creation.
However, the corpse of the Chaos Demon God fell here, forcefully shattering the mechanism for creation in the Ruins of Return, causing a flaw to appear.
Even after countless years, it remained unrepaired and could never be perfected.
The appearance of the Land of Creation gave the Will of Guixu an opportunity to remedy its shortcomings, which is why it proactively assisted the Pure World White Lotus, evolving the Creation Space to restore its perfection.
At this moment, the Creation Space had undergone a dramatic transformation, becoming a vast lake filled with milky-white Creation Liquid. In the center of the lake grew twenty-four Pure World White Lotuses.
As the lotuses swayed, they emitted a fragrant aroma, absorbing the power of Guixu from all directions and transforming it into Creation Liquid that flowed into the lake, continuously expanding it.
"Eh!"
"Is Guixu about to give birth to innate gods and demons?"
Two faint life auras emanated from the center of the lake, attracting Feng Zichen's attention.
Stepping forward, Feng Zichen saw that on the half-black, half-white Pure World White Lotus, two illusory innate Dao embryos had suddenly appeared, one black and one white, embodying the Dao of Guixu.
The black innate Dao embryo was surrounded by the aura of the end, clearly inheriting all the characteristics of the end of Guixu.
The white innate Dao embryo, surrounded by the power of creation, was pure and flawless. Born from destruction, it symbolized hope, a manifestation of another side of the Void.
"Truly, it's fate! I was just thinking about how to control the Void, and now the opportunity has arrived!"
Looking at the innate Dao embryo, Feng Zichen's mind stirred. A wisp of the Great Dao imprint flew out and merged into the black innate Dao embryo, intending to refine it into an avatar.
Now, he was a Grand Luo Golden Immortal-level expert; refining an avatar was naturally much easier than before—a wisp of the Great Dao imprint was enough.
The innate Dao embryo was not yet fully formed; it contained only a ball of innate origin, and even consciousness had not yet arisen. Faced with Feng Zichen's refinement, what resistance could it offer?
It was easily refined, becoming one of his avatars.
Looking at the white innate Dao embryo, Feng Zichen abandoned his plan to refine it into an avatar as well.
Because refining even one innate Dao embryo was already the limit that the will of the Void could tolerate. If he were to continue refining the second one, the will of Guixu would explode on the spot, fighting him to the death.
"Enough!"
"One innate Dao embryo is enough."
"Leave a way out for yourself, so you can meet again in the future." "I'll inevitably have to deal with Guixu in the future; if I offend it to death, the trouble will be immense!"
If he weren't the master of the Pure World White Lotus, Feng Zichen believed that the will of Guixu would have destroyed him the moment he refined the innate Dao embryo.
Now, the will of Guixu is hesitant, fearing that Feng Zichen will take the Pure World White Lotus, causing it to fall from its perfect state.
Therefore, it turned a blind eye when Feng Zichen refined the black innate Dao embryo, considering it a reward for him.
However, if Feng Zichen went too far and crossed the bottom line of the will of Guixu, it would definitely make Feng Zichen pay the price.
"Now that Guixu's origin is greatly damaged, relying on it to nurture these two innate Dao embryos, who knows how long it will take before they can be born?"
"I have to help them!" Thinking this, Feng Zichen used his divine powers to continue drawing upon the world's origin from the World Tree to nurture the innate Dao embryos.
Of course, to curry favor with Guixu, Feng Zichen treated both innate Dao embryos equally, showing no favoritism.
After completing this, Feng Zichen returned to the World Tree, waiting for it to devour the Chaos Demon God's body while honing his innate swordsmanship.
Once he left Guixu, his innate swordsmanship would make its first appearance in the primordial world; he couldn't afford to lose face.
