Chapter 7: Hong Jun Arrives
Shi Zhongyi saw the ancient spinal cord and thought of absorbing it into the Creation Blue Lotus. In Shi Zhongyi's view, as long as he absorbed the ancient spinal cord into the Creation Blue Lotus, it would definitely allow the Creation Blue Lotus to evolve, and who knows, maybe even give birth to a Pangu body that could open up a new world!
This is just Shi Zhong's wishful thinking, to know that even if the Chaos Qinglian evolves to a certain extent, even to the point of being able to nurture the physical body of Pangu, but this Chaos Qinglian will never be able to nurture a Pangu out of thin air. To know that even if it is only nurturing the physical body of Pangu, these Pangu spinal cords with abundant Chaos energy are also unable to complete it, and must be joined by the essence and blood of Pangu in order to nurture relatively complete physical bodies of Pangu. In order to make Pangu produce spiritual intelligence, the addition of Pangu's primordial spirit is necessary. The Pangu primordial spirit cannot be obtained because the Pangu primordial spirits have already transformed into the Three Pure Ones' primordial spirits.
Besides, Shi Zhong doesn't need a ghostly Pangu flesh body! Because Shi Zhong knows that a spiritual and intelligent Pangu flesh body is not something he can control. In the end, it would be like trying to steal a chicken but ending up losing the rice instead! Such foolish things Shi Zhong will never do!
Five thousand years passed in the blink of an eye, and Shi Zhong saw that the Chaos Creation Blue Lotus in his body had already taken shape. After absorbing Pangu's spinal cord, he saw that the original eighteen-grade Chaos Creation Blue Lotus was slowly increasing, and within two thousand years, it became a twenty-four-grade lotus platform. As the Chaos Creation Blue Lotus evolved, Shi Zhong also saw that the Great Dao in his Chaos World was slowly evolving, but since there were no living beings, it was impossible for these Great Dao laws to be perfected so actively.
But this is also impossible, after all, for Shi Zhong now, not to mention creating intelligent beings, even creating living beings like small grass is not something that the current Shi Zhong can do. After all, to reach this level, one must fully comprehend the Dao of creation before being able to accomplish such a thing. Some people might say, how did Nüwa create humans?
This is because Nüwa originally had a part of the creation method, and with the help of the Qiankun Ding who possessed the creation method when creating humans, she could reach this level. People like Shi Zhong now, without the help of Qiankun Ding, can only find some innate spiritual objects and place them in their own chaotic space to make them produce spiritual intelligence and understand the corresponding great way.
Just like the congenital tea tree and congenital yellow peach before, Shi Zhong can now clearly feel that these two congenital spiritual roots have produced spiritual intelligence, and they have also respectively merged with the Hongmeng purple energy of the Wood Great Way and Water Great Way in Shi Zhong's chaotic world to evolve into top-grade congenital spiritual roots. Shi Zhong will no longer interfere with them, after all, each has their own destiny, if these two congenital spiritual roots have such a destiny, then Shi Zhong will not destroy others' destiny for his own private gain. Moreover, these two congenital spiritual roots have merged with the two Great Ways in his chaotic world, and in the future, with the help of these two congenital spiritual roots, he believes that the Water Great Way and Wood Great Way can be even more perfect.
In Shi Zhong's chaotic world, every living being can only merge with one Hongmeng Purple Qi. This means that once you have merged with a Hongmeng Purple Qi, you will never encounter another one again. This is the rule set by Shi Zhong for the chaotic world. After all, if you could obtain multiple Hongmeng Purple Qi in the chaotic world, it would take a long time for you to comprehend them alone, which would greatly increase the time it takes for Shi Zhong's chaotic world to reach perfection.
And as long as you make the great way in Hongmeng purple energy more perfect, even if you disappear, the part that has been perfected will not disappear, it will only find the next master to continue to perfect the great way in Hongmeng purple energy until all of it is perfected. At that time, the owner of Hongmeng purple energy will also attain the supreme achievement of Hunyuan Golden Immortal by perfecting the great way in Hongmeng purple energy.
The great way in the Hongmeng purple gas will also be imprinted on the fragments of the creation jade butterfly in the chaotic world of Shizhong, perfecting the great way in the fragments of the creation jade butterfly. However, this is a long and elusive process. Of course, what kind of great way you can get from the Hongmeng purple gas depends on your fate, maybe you won't even get one, after all, Shizhong's chaotic world is very large, wanting to find the Hongmeng purple gas in such a vast chaotic world is like a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, it all depends on luck!
Shi Zhong felt that his own chaotic world had expanded a bit more after the transformation of Cang Hua Qing Lian. Fortunately, this was his own chaotic world; otherwise, Shi Zhong really wouldn't have known how vast his chaotic world was! This was simply beyond description. At this point, Shi Zhong already felt that his cultivation had reached the early stages of Da Luo Jinxian's enlightenment and he had attained the fruit of the Great Luo Dao.
It's not easy to attain the Great Luo Dao fruit! To know that you want to attain the Great Luo Dao fruit, you must first reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal and then enlighten your own Tao. This is not something that ordinary people can achieve. After all, if you can attain the Great Luo Dao fruit, you can gain a certain amount of luck in the world. Shi Zhong knew that Hong Jun was not on the path of the Great Luo Dao fruit, but rather on the path of beheading the three corpses. It's said that this path of beheading the three corpses can also be achieved through the Xiantian Lingbao to enlighten one's own Tao, but this path is also very difficult to walk. Haven't you seen that in later generations, only Hong Jun Laozu succeeded?
First, the innate spiritual treasure used to behead the three corpses must match the three corpses. That is to say, the innate spiritual treasures of merit, auspiciousness, and defense can only be used to behead the benevolent corpse, while those with offensive and murderous aura can only be used to behead the evil corpse. Neutral innate spiritual treasures can only be used to behead the corpse of self-attachment. Finally, the three spiritual treasures must match, that is, the three innate spiritual treasures are combined into one, which can reach the level of the three corpses matching, and then advance to the position of Hunyuan Dajin Golden Immortal.
But it's really hard to find these three congenital spiritual treasures! Even if you're a prophet of the Shi family, you only know one set, that is, the Twelve Product Lotus Platform. Use the Merit Gold Lotus to behead the good corpse, use the Extinction Black Lotus or the Karma Fire Red Lotus to behead the evil corpse, and then use the Creation Green Lotus to behead the self-attachment corpse. Finally, when the three corpses merge into one, you can achieve the Primordial Green Lotus and also make the three corpses merge into one. In Shi's view, only by using the recorded fragments of the three different natures of the creation jade butterfly can Hong Jun behead the corpse to merge the three corpses into one.
It can be seen that San Shi Zhendao is not easier than Daluo Tao's Zhendao, and it is even more difficult than Daluo Tao's Zhendao. After all, the Lingbao is hard to find!
After Shi Zhong absorbed all the Pangu spinal cord, he took this well filled with Pangu spinal cord to refine it. After two thousand years, Shi Zhong finally refined the well into thirty-five prohibitions. This well also transformed back into its original form, a triangular square tripod. The tripod was engraved with mountains and rivers, birds and beasts, insects and fish. Shi Zhong also learned from the information that this was a spiritual treasure, the famous Qiankun Tripod, a top-grade pre-heavenly supreme treasure with fifty-five pre-heavenly prohibitions.
The Qian Kun Ding contains a complete set of creation laws, with the wonder of creating heaven and earth. Moreover, it has the ability to return to its origin. This Qian Kun Ding can also refine pre-heavenly spiritual treasures. However, using the Qian Kun Ding to refine pre-heavenly spiritual treasures can only be used by oneself. It's not that others can't use them, but rather because using the Qian Kun Ding-refined pre-heavenly spiritual treasures will absorb a part of one's own destiny. If one were to give these pre-heavenly spiritual treasures to someone else, it would be equivalent to giving away one's own destiny. Shi Zhong finally understood why Nüwa possessed the Qian Kun Ding in her previous life and didn't use it to refine pre-heavenly spiritual treasures for the demon tribe - she was afraid of losing her own destiny!
Even if you're refining a congenital spiritual treasure for yourself, without some exceptionally good materials, it's impossible to refine a powerful congenital spiritual treasure. Unless you have materials like Mount Buzhou, it's possible to refine an extreme-quality congenital spiritual treasure. Even if you master the art of refining equipment, it's not impossible to refine a congenital ultimate treasure. However, the most important thing is that such materials are hard to come by! Even if they exist, it's not necessarily your turn to get them!
Shi Zhong not only obtained the Pangu spine from the Qiankun Ding, but also found a tens of meters square piece of Hunyuan soil in the Qiankun Ding after refining it for 35 days before the Xiantian prohibition. To know that Nüwa used only nine heavenly soils to create humans, this is a material with even greater creative power than those nine heavenly soils! This is an extraordinary material!
Shi Zhong dripped his own blood onto the primordial soil, then placed it under the Causal Green Lotus. The Causal Green Lotus immediately began to frantically absorb the primordial energy after coming into contact with the primordial soil. In no time at all, the originally 24th-grade Causal Green Lotus transformed into a 30th-grade green lotus. Meanwhile, the primordial soil became even more spiritual under the nourishment of the Causal Green Lotus's causal energy. Thus, the two formed an interdependent relationship.
Shi Zhong gazed at the fragments of the Causal Jade Butterfly floating in front of him, filled with desire. Although Shi Zhong's current cultivation had reached a certain realm, he couldn't help but have some desires, especially for something like the Causal Jade Butterfly fragments. This was because Shi Zhong knew that this thing contained the Great Dao he wanted, and the Causal Jade Butterfly was an inverted heavenly treasure, especially when it came to understanding and grasping the Great Dao. If given the opportunity, this thing could directly strip away the Great Dao.
Just as Shi Zhong was about to capture the Huayu Butterfly, a voice suddenly came "Fellow Taoist, please spare your hand. This thing has a fate with Qingdao, and I beg Fellow Taoist to let this thing go to me. I will definitely have a thick reward." Along with the sound, a chaotic sword aura also rushed towards Shi Zhong.
Shi Zhong saw a mixed yuan sword energy coming towards him, and he immediately retreated. Although his cultivation was high, it wasn't good to get involved with this thing. After calming down, Shi Zhong looked at the person in front of him, who had the cultivation of Daluo Jinxian's peak. This surprised Shi Zhong greatly, as even in the current Hongyuan, there wouldn't be many Daluo Jinxians, let alone one at the peak like this. He looked like a kind and gentle old grandfather from next door, but the intense greed in his eyes betrayed everything.
At this time, the newcomer quickly covered up the greedy light in his eyes and put on a dignified appearance as a Taoist priest, saying: "I have seen Fellow Taoist Hong Jun, I have calculated the heavenly secrets with Fellow Taoist An Suo, and I feel that there is a great destiny between us. I hope Fellow Taoist can let me have it! I will definitely reward you heavily!"
