60: Chapter 60 Decomposing Merit, Changes in Spiritual Source

The Devilish Qi had penetrated deep into the interior of the Spiritual Vein.

Even for powerhouses, it was difficult to easily extract the Devilish Qi without damaging the Spiritual Vein.

The only way to draw it out was to have Cultivators or Yao Beasts absorb it into themselves.

However, this would inevitably lead to chaos in the cultivation world. If Cultivators absorbed it, there would be an endless stream of demonic Cultivators, and demonic Cultivators would further aid the transformation of Demonic Veins; this was essentially drinking poison to quench thirst.

Therefore, the major Sects were all plagued by headaches over how to handle the problem of Devilish Qi contamination.

At this moment, Fang Yuan calmly pressed his hand onto the Spiritual Vein.

Wisps of Devilish Qi, like sharks smelling blood, were pulled out from the Spiritual Vein and gathered toward Fang Yuan.

When the first wisp of black qi reached Fang Yuan's palm...

Before the black qi could even act, Fang Yuan uttered a single word: "Decompose!"

That wisp of black qi was instantly transformed into three types of qi within the golden light.

As soon as a wisp of Origin Qi appeared, it was directly absorbed into Fang Yuan's body and swallowed by his Spiritual Origin.

A wisp of earth qi flowed into the Spiritual Vein, nourishing it.

A wisp of turbid qi sank into the leyline beneath the Spiritual Vein and was absorbed by it.

After the first wisp of Devilish Qi was decomposed, the subsequent Devilish Qi gathered in a continuous stream.

Fang Yuan calmly continued the Decompose.

"Hurry it up, you guys!"

Fang Yuan even shouted at the wisps of Devilish Qi.

Unfortunately, the Devilish Qi did not speed up despite his encouragement.

Fang Yuan began multitasking, decomposing the Devilish Qi while simultaneously consolidating his cultivation.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

When the last wisp of black qi had been decomposed and dissipated...

Fang Yuan inspected his Dantian internally. The Spiritual Origin was even more round and jade-like, with five Spirit Texts on its surface emitting spiritual light, and five types of Force and two types of Concepts circulating within.

"The grade is still Medium Grade. It seems upgrading the Spiritual Origin's grade is not easy."

Fang Yuan looked at the Origin Qi within the Spiritual Origin again. At a rough glance, he could already divide it into five thousand Low Grade spirit seeds, or 50 Medium Grade spirit seeds.

The amount of Devilish Qi he had just absorbed was equivalent to the amount from two Foundation Establishment demonic Cultivators.

Suddenly, Fang Yuan felt that the Spiritual Qi released by the Spiritual Vein below seemed to have increased slightly.

He tapped his finger on it.

[Item]: Cloud Mist Mountain Spiritual Vein

[Grade]: Rank One top grade

[Effect]: Converts earth qi, Yin Qi, Star Power, and many other powers into Spiritual Qi.

Fang Yuan glanced at it and showed a look of surprise: "Wait, Rank One top grade? It was only Rank One High Grade before!"

The Spiritual Vein had actually successfully advanced after the Devilish Qi was resolved.

Fang Yuan immediately activated the Formation, turning on its Spirit Gathering function. A portion of the excess Spiritual Qi was gathered into the courtyard at the mountain peak.

Other areas still maintained the Spiritual Qi concentration of a Rank One Medium-High Grade.

Fang Yuan had just breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, within his Eye of Fortune which he kept active by default, a wisp of golden-yellow qi fell out of thin air and rapidly approached him.

Fang Yuan was startled and immediately tried to dodge.

But the golden-yellow qi continued to chase him closely. After approaching rapidly, its speed suddenly dropped.

Fang Yuan carefully reached out a finger to touch it.

[Item]: Heavenly Dao Karma (One Wisp)

[Grade]: Minor Thousand Worlds level

[Effect]: Numerous effects, offsets tribulations, protects oneself, enhances cultivation, refines artifacts to break evil, etc.

"Karma?"

Fang Yuan's eyes nearly popped out of his head.

This was completely beyond his expectations. Karma had actually descended. Could it be a reward for eliminating the Devilish Qi and upgrading the Spiritual Vein?

Fortunately, the Eye of Fortune had a special ability that allowed him to see Karma.

"Good stuff! The most versatile divine object in the cultivation world, but it's only one wisp..."

Fang Yuan scratched his head.

However, upon seeing the Karma, he couldn't help but want to decompose it.

With only one wisp, he felt its effect wouldn't be that great. It might be better to decompose it and see exactly what it could produce.

"Decompose!"

With a flash of golden light, the Karma in front of him suddenly transformed into three items.

[world origin] + [world fortune] + [Light of Fortune]

After the world fortune was decomposed, it automatically merged above Fang Yuan's head. Outside his racial Luck, another layer of Luck was added, and a wisp of world fortune constantly swam within this layer.

The moment the world fortune descended, Fang Yuan felt his own main Luck suddenly receive a boost. His yellow Luck, which originally only had eleven wisps, instantly surged to one hundred and ten wisps!

Following the world fortune, the Light of Fortune also merged directly into Fang Yuan's body before he could even act.

He inspected his body internally and discovered a faint circle of Light of Fortune around his Soul.

He had a feeling that he could rely on this Light of Fortune to obtain one Opportunity or use it to offset one disaster.

Finally, Fang Yuan turned his gaze toward the [world origin].

"This is the legendary world origin. No wonder Karma is so versatile; world origin can transform into all things and naturally enhance all things."

Looking at this wisp of world origin, Fang Yuan didn't know how to handle it for a moment.

He thought about it and decided to just merge it into his Spiritual Origin.

With a breath from Fang Yuan, the world origin easily entered his Dantian and was then guided into the Spiritual Origin.

After absorbing this wisp of world origin, the Spiritual Origin seemed to have received a great tonic, and its aura suddenly became much stronger.

The most peculiar change was at the center of the Spiritual Origin; where there was originally nothing, a spherical space one meter in diameter was opened out of thin air.

Inside the space, ten wisps of gold qi, thirty wisps of water qi, thirty wisps of fire qi, ten wisps of earth qi, and ten wisps of cloud qi drifted about.

And in the very center, a small pool of water and a ball of flame each occupied half of the area.

Fang Yuan watched, completely dazed.

He could see that the small water pool attracted a wisp of water qi into it, and then his Water Concept inexplicably improved by an imperceptible amount—an extremely faint increase.

After the water qi disappeared, the water Spirit Text on the surface of the Spiritual Origin began to operate. A certain type of water qi from heaven and earth was drawn by the Spiritual Origin and merged into it, replenishing the disappeared wisp of water qi.

"A wisp of world origin opened up a special space inside the Spiritual Origin, reifying my insights into Force and Concepts! Moreover, the Spirit Texts are also being utilized, forming a special cyclic enhancement mechanism."

"world origin is indeed good stuff!"

Fang Yuan was filled with wonder.

The impact of a single wisp of world origin on him was earth-shaking. With this special space, his future comprehension of Concepts and even deeper insights would be many times easier.

After another moment, five thousand wisps of Origin Qi also appeared inside the special space, reifying the Origin Qi as well.

"Hoarding Origin Qi won't produce offspring. In that case, let's condense spirit seeds!"

With a thought, Fang Yuan communicated with the Spiritual Origin. One hundred wisps gathered together and merged with the Spiritual Qi the Spiritual Origin had previously absorbed, forming a spiritual pearl brimming with spirituality.

This was a Medium Grade spirit seed.

Fang Yuan took it out from the Spiritual Origin and then placed it into the Spiritual Vein.

Sure enough, as the Spiritual Vein flowed, the spirit seed drifted away toward the distance.
