172: Swallowing this fruit, Yingzhou Island is empty.

Thinking of this, Li Yun did not hesitate any longer and directly took out the original fruits of those Kunlun Mountain innate spiritual roots.

However, he did not take them all out, only four original fruits.

These four fruits could respectively grant him the four Laws of metal, wood, water, and earth.

As long as he absorbed and refined them, he would be able to gather the five single-attribute Laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, thereby laying the Foundation for his future evolution of the Five Elements Law.

With that thought, Li Yun swallowed them without any hesitation, then sat cross-legged and operated the Swallowing Heaven Technique to begin refining.

The power of the original fruit was nurtured and accumulated by those innate spiritual roots over countless years.

Their refining speed was very fast, and before long, Li Yun had completely absorbed them. Not only did he successfully obtain the four Laws of metal, wood, water, and earth, but his own magic power also increased to a certain extent.

According to Li Yun's estimation, these four original fruits brought him the results of at least five thousand years of bitter cultivation. If his focus weren't currently on condensing the Three Flowers Crowned Dao Fruit, he might even have the urge to consume original fruits on a large scale to increase his cultivation.

"It's done!"

Feeling the power of the Laws within his body, a knowing smile appeared on Li Yun's face.

Subconsciously, Li Yun opened his personal status panel to check.

[Li Yun]

[Race: Human, Wu]

[foundation: Top-grade Innate God-Demon]

[Talents: Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability, Luck, Indestructible Vajra Body...]

[Laws: Void Law (Major Achievement), Law of Creation (Minor Achievement), Law of Life (Major Achievement), Law of Metal (30%), Law of Wood (30%), Law of Water (30%), Law of Fire (Minor Achievement), Law of Earth (30%)]

[Techniques/Divine Abilities: 108 Earthly Fiend Transformations, Manifestation of Heaven and Earth in Human Form...]

[Spirit Treasures: green lotus axe, world purifying white lotus spear, world purifying white lotus mask, twelve-grade creation azure lotus, hunyuan pearl...]

"This—"

"It actually provided 30% of the Laws directly!"

"With just one more step, these Laws can reach the Minor Achievement stage."

"And once all five Laws reach the Minor Achievement stage, I can completely use them to hatch the existence of the Five Elements Law. When that time comes..."

At this moment, Li Yun's breathing quickened, and his eyes were full of heat.

He really didn't expect that these original fruits would provide him with not just 10% but 30% of the Laws.

According to this trend, as long as he practiced and comprehended a little, it wouldn't be difficult to develop them to the Minor Achievement stage.

At this moment, Li Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It's done!

The plan for the Five Elements Law is about to be completed!

Once all this is completed, the condensation of his Three Flowers Crowned Dao Fruit will also speed up.

Thinking of this, Li Yun's expression instantly became solemn.

The problem of the Laws was basically solved, except for the Qiankun Law, which he needed to search for or inquire about.

The next most important thing was to condense the flower buds.

According to Li Yun's plan, he now had the world-cleansing white lotus and the creation green lotus in his hands. Although they couldn't compare to the twelve-grade ones, using them as a base to nurture flower buds wasn't a difficult task.

In this way, it meant he was missing the final piece of the puzzle.

He was missing another lotus seed, or even a twelve-grade lotus, to serve as a medium.

In the current Great Desolation, there really wasn't anything that could meet the requirements. After all, the Destruction Black Lotus had disappeared, and the merit golden lotus was in Hongjun's hands.

"I still have to look!"

"I can't gather the four Innate lotus seeds, but a lotus among the top-grade innate spiritual roots should be able to reach the basic requirement!"

Speaking of this, Li Yun began to think in his mind.

Before long, Li Yun thought of two targets: the thick earth yellow lotus and the Reincarnation Purple Lotus!

These two lotuses were also at the level of top-grade innate spiritual roots. In his memory, there were some records about them, though only in passing.

But since they existed, it meant they were within the Great Desolation.

If he searched diligently, he should be able to find them. After all, he was now blessed with the Luck talent.

Thinking of this, Li Yun immediately stood up, looked around, and directly took the entire thatched hut into his middle dantian space.

After all, it was Yang Mei' residence. The Materials of this thatched hut were not simple, and its own value was also great.

Even if he didn't need it himself, if he refined artifacts in the future, he could completely use it as material. The power and grade of the Spirit Treasures refined then would be improved.

After finishing all this, Li Yun's gaze gathered on that cherry blossom tree.

This was also a top-grade innate spiritual root; its value was beyond doubt.

However, because it was in Yang Mei' residence, the intelligence of this cherry blossom tree had been erased. At this moment, it was like the previous world-cleansing white lotus, merely a Spiritual Root with no possibility of Shapeshifting.

"cherry blossom tree, cherry blossom wine!"

"It's not qualified to fuse with myself, but it's not bad to keep it as one of the raw Materials for brewing wine."

"With such a huge cherry blossom tree, the amount of wine brewed will definitely not be small!"

As he spoke, Li Yun stepped forward and transferred the cherry blossom tree into his middle dantian space.

At this point, everything of value within the entire immortal island had been plundered by Li Yun.

Looking around, Li Yun soon found a stone tablet recording the information of the immortal island, on which two large characters were written: "Fangzhang!"

"So it's Fangzhang Island!"

"Then the remaining island is Yingzhou Island."

Muttering to himself, Li Yun gazed into the distance, staring intently at the last island, Yingzhou Island, and murmured, "You're next."

"Once I finish plundering the things within Yingzhou Island, it will be time for me to return to the Great Desolation to find the yellow lotus or the purple lotus and perfect the Three Flowers Crowned Dao Fruit!"

Having made up his mind, Li Yun didn't hesitate. His figure flickered, turning into a streak of light as he flew out of Fangzhang Island.

With his previous experience, Li Yun's subsequent journey was extremely smooth. With the combination of the green lotus axe and the world purifying white lotus spear, along with the defense of the twelve-grade creation azure lotus, he easily reached Yingzhou Island. The time spent was shortened once again, taking less than eight hundred years.

Upon flashing into Yingzhou Island, Li Yun's expression quietly changed.

For no other reason than although the entire Yingzhou Island seemed full of life, the vast majority of the Spiritual Plants, Spirit Medicines, and Spiritual Roots within it were newly born.

Their size was several times smaller than those on Penglai Immortal Island and Fangzhang Island. Furthermore, pits left behind from battles could even be seen throughout the island.

"What's the situation?"

"Has someone been to Yingzhou Island? There was even a battle?"

Raising an eyebrow, a sharp light flashed in Li Yun's eyes, and he directly activated his Purple Gold Divine Pupils to investigate.

Unsurprisingly, under the investigation of the Purple Gold Divine Pupils, Li Yun could be certain that all the plants here were newly born and appeared to have grown for at most tens of thousands of years, completely failing to reach a level that would interest him.

Such a place might be a treasure land in later generations, but compared to the current era of the Great Desolation, the weeds on the roadside outside had longer lifespans than them.

With a flicker of his body, Li Yun arrived directly at the top area of Yingzhou Island.

Upon seeing the stone tablet with the characters "Yingzhou" written on it, he confirmed that he really hadn't gone to the wrong place and that someone had indeed beaten him to Yingzhou Island.

Unlike Fangzhang Island, which was Yang Mei' residence—where he had occupied the mountaintop and plundered the innate spiritual roots, but at least many usable items still remained—

this Yingzhou Island was truly empty, as if it had been uprooted and packed away by someone once before~
