98: The First Technique of Creation: Swallowing Pangu's Spinal Marrow

After an unknown amount of time, Li Yun slowly woke up.

Looking around, he was still at the end of the crack, but the white jade stone wall that had been there was gone.

Not only that, but the heart-palpitating pressure had also completely dissipated at this moment.

For a moment, a look of bewilderment appeared on Li Yun's face.

But soon, Li Yun thought of something and began to check his own status.

“This is—”

In an instant, Li Yun's breathing quickened.

Under his investigation, he was stunned to find an additional white jade stone wall within his Sea of Consciousness. It stood in a corner of his Sea of Consciousness like a shield.

Most importantly, the content and information recorded on the white jade stone wall had been converted into characters he could understand—not the script of this Honghuang era, but the simplified characters of the future world.

If this were thrown out, even the Honghuang Cultivators would not be able to recognize what the script recorded.

But Li Yun recognized it, and because of this, his inner emotions were stirred.

【Nine Forms of Heaven Opening - First Form: Axe Dividing Yin and Yang!】

【Derived from the nine axe forms evolved during Pangu's creation of the world, each form contains the power to destroy heaven and earth!】

“Nine Forms of Heaven Opening—”

“It's actually Pangu's axe techniques for creating the world!”

“I've hit the jackpot! Even if it's just one form of the axe technique, its value and power definitely exceed a Great Divine Ability and rival a Supreme Divine Ability!”

“Moreover, I have the green lotus axe. With the two combined, my destructive and devastating power will reach a brand new height and level!”

At this moment, Li Yun wanted to roar to the heavens.

He never expected that just by coming to collect the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, he would receive such massive benefits.

Without any hesitation, with a thought, Li Yun directly used the Size Manipulation technique on himself while simultaneously canceling his Transformation Technique.

His entire body rapidly shrank to the size of a mosquito. As he sat cross-legged, he directly took out the pangu spinal cord and swallowed it.

Gulp—

As the pangu spinal cord entered his stomach, Li Yun immediately felt a burning heat throughout his body. His flesh, Meridians, and cells all seemed to be restructured at this moment.

As time passed, the entire cell population began to shine with golden light at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even traces of Pangu's aura began to emerge within them.

As time continued to pass, the power of the pangu spinal cord was continuously and completely absorbed.

Just as the last drop of spinal fluid was absorbed, Li Yun's body suddenly began to emit cracking sounds: “Crack—”

“Crack—”

Looking closely, one could feel the bones within his body shattering and exploding into powder.

Under the washing of the pangu spinal cord, those fragments turned into pure gold at a visible rate, subsequently transforming into brand new golden divine bones.

Once all the divine bones were restored, Li Yun's Blood Qi surged, and his Physical Body Realm was once again enhanced, directly entering the Early Stage of the Great Witch Realm!

However, this was due to the support of the pangu spinal cord's power; the insufficiency of his Bloodline prevented him from further increasing his physical strength.

But even so, this was already enough.

After all, a Physical Body at the Great Witch level possessed combat power comparable to a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Coupled with the many treasures he possessed, if it really came to a fight, he was confident he could battle anyone unless they were at the Great Overarching Golden Immortal Perfection level; at the very least, he was certain he could escape!

“Good, good, good—”

At this moment, Li Yun could no longer suppress his excited emotions and laughed out loud.

After laughing for a full fifteen minutes, Li Yun finally stopped and murmured, “Not bad, not bad. The effects of the pangu spinal cord far exceed my imagination!”

“It didn't just restructure my body and allow me to shed my mortal coil; it even brought my physical Realm to a level comparable to a Great Witch. Even if it's just the Great Witch Early Stage, it's enough to engage in head-on combat with a Grand Unity Golden Immortal Middle Stage Cultivator.”

“Although Quasi-Saints are now supreme, less than a thousand years have passed. Even if Honghuang Cultivators obtained the Method of Proving the Dao, it's impossible for them to complete it or advance to Quasi-Saint in such a short time.”

“It can be said that only now do I truly have the confidence and ability to travel and establish myself within Honghuang.”

Thinking of this, Li Yun's eyes shone brightly.

With his current strength, he was confident enough to head to the East Sea to search for Penglai Immortal Island, Fangzhang Immortal Island, and Yingzhou Immortal Island.

However, before that, he still had to make a trip to Wuzhuang Temple as soon as possible.

After all, it was an invitation from Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun; he couldn't refuse it.

Besides, he also had something to ask them. Without a master or a complete Legacy, after entering the Golden Immortal Realm, he needed to condense the Five Qi Primordial Fruit.

Only by perfecting the Five Qi Primordial Fruit, then breaking through to Golden Immortal Realm Perfection and enduring the Nine Tribulations to step into the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, would he be truly complete.

But he didn't know how to condense the Five Qi Primordial Fruit, nor did he know the specific details of its formation, so he had to consult experts like Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun.

After all, the two were well-reputed in Honghuang, and Li Yun wasn't worried they would refuse or give him false information.

Thinking of this, Li Yun didn't linger and directly flew out of the crack area.

Upon reaching the outside, Li Yun canceled the Size Manipulation technique and then used the Golden Light Escape technique, turning into a streamer of light and racing toward the Western Lands... As he moved further away from Mount Buzhou, Li Yun also witnessed the cruelty of the current power struggle in Honghuang.

Along the way, countless small factions were constantly fighting to seize territory or over some Spiritual Roots that had appeared, leading to slaughter on both sides.

However, Li Yun did not participate in these.

The Spiritual Roots that appeared were mostly of Low and Middle Grades; to be honest, he really didn't think much of them.

As he got closer to the west, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi began to drop rapidly.

Many areas already showed signs of desertification, and there were many canyons and cracks on the ground stretching for millions of miles.

Clearly, all of this was left behind by the Conflict between Dao and Demon during the Ancient Era.

“Fellow Daoist, please stay!”

This day, Li Yun came to a mountain stream with a waterfall.

After arriving here, Li Yun did not continue forward but instead stared fixedly at a certain area with his Purple Gold Divine Pupils.

Under the gaze of the Purple Gold Divine Pupils, there seemed to be a cave behind the waterfall, and within it, there appeared to be some special treasure.

Without hesitation, Li Yun flashed and flew directly into it.

After passing through the waterfall, he saw a cave filled with purple-gold crystals. In the depths of the cave, a millstone-sized bead floated, glowing with brilliant purple light and rich with Innate Qi; it was clearly an Innate Spirit Treasure.
