Chapter 811 - 805: Treasure to Restore the Biluo Origin
Qin Feng allowed several Spiritual Beasts under his command, which were suitable for absorbing the Gold Element Origin Power, to absorb it vigorously, enabling each of them to enhance their strength. Once they fully refined the Gold Element Principle, their war power would likely increase even further in the future.
After accomplishing this, Qin Feng put away the Metal Heart!
Even though he refined it several times and allowed his Spiritual Beasts to refine much of its energy, only a tenth or so of the Metal Heart’s power was consumed, with the majority of the Gold Element Origin still remaining!
Despite his profound foundation, he was still a Heavenly Immortal. This kind of treasure, capable of helping Upper Peak Divine Spirits advance to Half-Step Immortal and even Top Level Divine Spirit, contained energy far surpassing that of an Upper Peak Divine Spirit itself, and in terms of energy alone, it was even more formidable than an ordinary initiatory Top Level Divine Spirit!
After all, it was an Origin Object condensed by a world, so it’s normal for the energy to be more concentrated.
However, while the energy was formidable, in terms of the Law and Immortal Energy, it was far inferior to a Top Level Divine Spirit.
Since the Metal Heart still had a long growth span, without millions of years of accumulation, relying solely on the World Will’s instinctive nurturing and energy infusion was really slow.
Unless the Metal Heart gave birth to self-awareness, gaining its own Spiritual Intelligence, understanding active cultivation, only then could its development speed up; otherwise, it could only rely on endless years for gradual improvement, much like it had quietly remained in the depths underground absorbing the Spiritual Power gathered by the Spirit Vein for countless years.
The Toad King and Tuo Long, along with Coiled Python, initially wanted to divide the Metal Heart into three because the energy within it was too powerful, allowing them to gain significant benefits.
However, if they truly split it into three parts, it would inevitably render the Law Power in the already unintegrated Metal Heart even more scattered. The already sparse Immortal Energy would become even thinner, and aside from the energy, the Law and Immortal Energy together would not improve their powers by more than a Half-Step, let alone advance them to Top Level Divine Spirits.
It wasn’t that their path to advancement was completely cut off, but without the Metal Heart, this small world’s foundation alone couldn’t support their advancement.
Conversely, if one of them replaced their heart with the Metal Heart, though the hope of advancement was still slim, the possibility was not entirely cut off!
If nothing else worked, they could bury themselves underground, imitating the scene when the world provided energy to the Metal Heart, channeling multiple Top Level Spirit Veins into their body, cultivating themselves as an alternative Metal Heart; as long as they did not die, there was still a slim hope of advancing through the long years!
But truly resorting to this would mean they might die with a probability of more than ninety percent!
After all, these Metal Divine Beings did not have the foundation of the Cultivation World nor countless Mysterious Techniques for protection. Their methods were relatively crude, and with the impact of numerous Spirit Vein energies, it was uncertain whether their bodies could accommodate the massive energy, and it was even less certain if their Divine Souls could endure such torment.
A slight misstep, and their Spirit could be shattered by the energy, turning them into a tool without self-awareness, ultimately following the original evolution route arranged by the World Will, and even the body of the Upper Peak Divine Spirit, which fused with the Metal Heart, would become a sacrifice for the Metal Heart!
Even if the Toad King and the others barely managed to withstand it, the World Will might instinctively react, proceeding with the evolution according to the preset route, only integrating their bodies and souls, energy, and Law, directly fixing the form of the Metal Heart.
Qin Feng snapped out of it, shook his head—these were things that might happen if Metal Divine Beings had obtained the Metal Heart, but now the Metal Heart was in his hands, so those Divine Beings naturally had no possibility of reclaiming the treasure.
He thought about this merely from the perspective of the Metal Divine Beings, analyzing their way of dealing with the Metal Heart, comparing it with the methods of refining such treasures in the Cultivation World, thereby broadening his thoughts and contemplating more possibilities for refining!
Qin Feng even thought of a Secret Technique known as the Divine Splitting Technique, insinuating a wisp of his Divine Soul on the Metal Heart to guide its growth. Perhaps, after countless years, he might end up with a powerful Immortal Realm avatar!
Even if the limited foundation of this world and the natural resistance from the World Will resulted in the Metal Heart never perfecting its Dao Principle to advance to Immortal, at the very least, he could get a Half-Step Immortal avatar, exceedingly close to a Great Power.
As long as he continued striving in the future, taking alternate approaches in the Gold Element Principle, there was still a possibility to cultivate the avatar to advancement.
Unfortunately, the situation didn’t suit such endeavors, and he wasn’t the sole discoverer of the Metal Heart; otherwise, he would genuinely want to give it a try!
Moreover, Qin Feng also thought of another possibility; since there is a Wood Element Origin in the Canglan Realm’s Divine Mountain Spirit Lake, and that world birthed the Metal Heart, then…
What about the other worlds?
One must know, the several nearby worlds mutually influence each other, being divided into the Five Elements, a manifestation of the fundamental material origins of the Cosmic Great Thousand.
After discovering Origin Objects one after another in these two worlds, could the remaining worlds also have corresponding Origin congealment?
Thinking of this, Qin Feng immediately became excited.
These two kinds of origins alone had already benefited him immensely. If he managed to acquire other Origin Divine Items, gathering all Five Elements Origins, his strength would surely achieve an extreme peak, eliminating any concerns about insufficient foundation.
Laying a robust foundation with the Five Elements Origins, he could also leverage the Five Elements Principle to directly charge into the Profound Immortal Realm, and at that point, even if bottlenecks were on the road, he could break through them in one go!
Thinking carefully, the possibility was very high as long as the foundations of the other three worlds were not too poor, nurturing similar Origin Divine Items shouldn’t be difficult.
After all, they’re worlds of a single attribute, different from ordinary Small Worlds.
Usually, since the laws of world evolution are more varied, although it may seem more comprehensive, the insufficient foundations of the world result in massive consumption of foundational power on various different laws, thus lacking excess force to nurture powerful Origin Divine Objects.
In this regard, attribute-single Small Worlds have an advantage, though they are vulnerable to invasion due to easier methods of restraint; they have a greater likelihood to ascend to a Medium World if they evade invasion by chance!
Of course, all of this presumes the world hasn’t encountered invasion or had its Origin Divine Items taken; otherwise, there would be no chance of ascension!
In reality, among the endless worlds in the Cosmic Great Thousand, those that can truly grasp the opportunity to ascend in level are ultimately few. The vast majority of worlds, from the beginning of their evolution to their end of destruction, remain at the same level.
Some even regress in level rather than advance, because the resources within the realm are overly extracted and cannot be replenished in time, resulting in a constant loss of resources!
A Small World can at most nurture an Origin Divine Object, but those higher-level worlds can not only cultivate more and stronger Divine Items, but also potentially develop these items into deities beyond the Immortal Realm!
This is the origin of the legendary Innate Great Gods!
Innate Divine Spirits are intimately connected with the world’s fortune and are the original beings of high-level worlds and above.
It can be said that many beings within Great Worlds and high-level worlds are created by these Innate Divine Spirits!
These Divine Items, containing Laws and Origins, born across different worlds, are the fundamental targets of the Biluo Expedition. To restore its foundational accumulations, Biluo’s primary goal is to seize these objects!
As for other resources, they are secondary, suitable for cultivating ordinary cultivators and even beneficial to many Immortals, but for Biluo Great World to benefit, it still relies on these Origin Divine Objects!
Furthermore, the sizes of different worlds vary, and so do the Origin Divine Objects they give birth to.
For instance, the Metal Heart in Qin Feng’s possession is considered relatively inferior among various Divine Items due to the insufficient accumulation of the Flowing Gold World.
Despite having sufficient energy, the Laws are incomplete, the Immortal Energy is but a small cluster, and even if a Metal Divine Being at the Peak Realm were to fuse with it, it could only attain the Half-Step Immortal, unable to completely advance!
Though the Canglan Realm is merely one level stronger than the Flowing Gold World, it hosts a Top Level Divine Spirit. Even if this Top Level Divine Spirit was produced hastily during a crisis by the Heavenly Dao, it still indicates that the Canglan Realm is far more powerful than the Flowing Gold World.
Moreover, the Spiritual Lake of Canglan Divine Mountain, containing Wood Element Origin, far surpasses the Metal Heart of the Flowing Gold World, and there are Exotic Treasures with mysterious powers like the Divine King Palace, clearly stronger than the Flowing Gold World in many ways.
Once we talk about high-level worlds, they are incomparable with Medium Worlds. Not only are there numerous Divine Items, but there are also many existences beyond the Immortal Realm.
Take the Nordic God Realm for example; not only is God King Odin overseeing the upper Divine Nation, commanding countless powerful beings, but the giants in the mid-level realm are also incredibly strong, often launching attacks of various scales against the Divine Country!
And apart from the most powerful World Tree, the Nordic God Realm also has the three Divine Springs, the Rainbow Bridge traversing the Three Realms, the Fire Origin turning into the sun and moon, the Cold Ice Origin freezing all things, the Death Origin born in the Death Kingdom, and more.
This doesn’t even count certain hidden treasures within the upper Divine Country!
Concerning the three Divine Springs alone, each is much more powerful than the Spiritual Lake in front of the Divine King Palace of the Canglan Realm.
Like the Unending Spring of the Mist Country, not only does it nourish the growth of the World Tree, but it also provides a habitat for the Ancestor of Evil Dragon Nidhogg and many evil dragons and serpents under its command. If replaced by the Spiritual Lake of Canglan Divine Mountain, it would likely be completely depleted in energy by the World Tree and the numerous monsters within a millennium!
At the level of Great Worlds, aside from a handful of worlds with single attributes, the Laws are generally very comprehensive, so the Origin Divine Objects birthed are not only plentiful, but also diverse in types.
Speaking of Biluo, there are quite a few Water Element Divine Items alone; within the East Sea Divine Water Palace, several Divine Springs have been acquired successively, nurturing several female Golden Immortals!
With so many Divine Items just within the Water Element, imagine how many there are in total when all elements are combined.
And that’s not even counting the countless treasures and resources plundered from other worlds during an ancient catastrophe.
Even after undergoing a catastrophe, which severely damaged Biluo and depleted most of its foundation, it still remains far superior to high-level worlds.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be capable of launching wars against several high-level worlds while conducting a massive expedition.
In the Void Ten Thousand Realms, any world that wishes to advance its grade can only seize Origin Treasures and various resources from other worlds to gain the opportunity for promotion.
Similarly, for a heavily injured Great World like Biluo, to maintain its status as a Great World and recover its primal accumulations, it also has no other path but to plunder the Ten Thousand Worlds!
It sounds grim, but this is the reality!
In fact, the wars between the Void Ten Thousand Realms are far bloodier and more brutal than these words can describe!
Every world must adapt to these harsh rules, or else risk being eliminated.
Just like Biluo!
During the Ancient Times, the Biluo Cultivation Realm was flourishing. Cultivators pursued the path of longevity, and Immortals sought a carefree existence, traveling across domains and exploring the starry sky in peace and happiness.
Because Biluo was a newly born Great World, with countless resources within, it did not need to invade other worlds and was completely self-sufficient!
As a result, Biluo was well-regarded among nearby worlds back then. Many worlds were willing to engage in exchanges with the strong of Biluo Great World. Biluo itself was also open to allowing esteemed guests from various realms to visit, and even engaged in discussions with other realm’s powerhouses to improve its array of cultivation techniques.
However, while Biluo had no intention of invading other worlds, it caught the eye of others, leading to a catastrophic disaster.
The Biluo Cultivators, accustomed to their carefree cultivation methods, were suddenly caught off guard by raids from several Great Worlds. Though they quickly organized counterattacks, the initial opportunity had already been lost!
If not for Spring and Autumn Ancestor working with Heavenly Union to seal Biluo’s passages inside and out, and Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan employing the Supreme Dao Technique Star Shifting to forcibly migrate the world to this Star Domain, they might have been completely defeated and transformed into a resource ground for the Heavenly Demon and other Great Worlds thousands of years ago!
