Chapter 275 The Land of Creation: Are All the Materials for My Natal Magic Weapon Complete? (4000)

Starry Sea, beyond the islands.

Several figures in the sky watched the dissipating light of fists on the beach.

Although the view is not very clear due to the island's unique characteristics, one can still sense the domineering and violent nature of the punches.

"It seems that a rather formidable body-refining cultivator has infiltrated the island."

"Such punches are indeed impressive, but they are only at the Foundation Establishment level, which is not enough for us."

"The more powerful individuals who enter the island, the better. Slay the demons and let us reap the sweet fruits."

As True Immortals of Condensed Fiends, they did not pay much attention to the fist strike. Even though their magical power was suppressed upon entering the island, they were still able to shatter the fist light.

After all, the bodies of every True Person undergo continuous transformation and improvement, reaching the twelfth level of Qi Refining, the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and the Qi Condensation Realm. Their physical bodies are extremely powerful.

……

Within the island.

Two figures walked forward side by side, their eyes scanning their surroundings.

At this moment, there were no more demons blocking Zhang Yuanzhu and Su Meng's way.

"Fellow Daoist, your fist is sharp!"

The woman's dress fluttered, a jade sword was strapped to her back, and her eyes revealed admiration.

"If the physical body can do this, I wonder how terrifying it would be if magic power were added."

"My punches are naturally good punches."

Zhang Yuanzhu remained calm as he traversed several miles of ravines, paused slightly, and looked towards a hill on one side.

Clumps of silvery-white grass grow on the hillside, swaying in the wind, their tiny specks of starlight dancing in the breeze.

Brilliant and beautiful!
"This is……"

The young man looked thoughtful; he had never seen such a miraculous herb before.

However, one can sense remarkable starlight and a special aura within it.

Su Meng looked ahead, her pupils slightly contracting.

She took a step and arrived at the top of the hill, her jade hand reaching out to gently caress the silver herbs.

A smile appeared on the face beneath the phoenix mask.

"Star Blood Grass, this ancient and precious medicine, even I have only seen it in ancient books. I never thought I would encounter it here."

"We're lucky!"

Zhang Yuanzhu strode over, his gaze falling upon the herbs.

"Very precious?"

"Extremely valuable!"

The woman gave an affirmative answer.

“This place has long been occupied by the demon race. Since it is so precious, how come the Star Blood Grass can still be preserved here?”

He held the knife in one hand, his eyes filled with thought, and reached out with his free hand to pick up a herb, carefully sensing its properties.

"This precious medicine has extremely demanding growing conditions and cannot be preserved."

Su Meng explained, waving her jade hand to collect the dozen or so precious medicinal herbs.

"Star Blood Grass can enhance the physical body, but each living being can only consume it when they are in the Qi Refining Realm. Furthermore, because the strength of the physical body varies, the amount that can be consumed is limited. Consuming too much will inevitably lead to the body exploding and death."

"This is a good opportunity for both of us, especially here."

Zhang Yuanzhu's eyes flickered, and his hands moved swiftly. With a flick of his sleeve, a large patch of Starblood Grass disappeared.

Su Meng remained silent, but then reached out again to retrieve the precious medicine.

In the blink of an eye, the two had divided up the Starblood Grass.

"It must be taken as soon as possible; the herbal medicine will become ineffective within a day at most."

Su Meng looked around intently.

"Conceal your presence and hide."

As the young man spoke softly, his boiling blood began to calm down, and his surging fighting spirit slowly dissipated.

Bang!

Sheathing his longsword, Zhang Yuanzhu turned around, preparing to escape the fighting and find a secluded place for cultivation.

As for the humans and demons still fighting on the beach, Zhang Yuanzhu didn't care at all.

He came here to seek opportunities and strengthen himself, so naturally he wouldn't confuse his priorities.

The two figures disappeared, running quickly through the jungle.

Soon, they stopped in front of a waterfall.

Wow! Wow!
Water splashes down, creating a misty fog, making the area on both sides of the stream look like a fairyland.

Zhang Yuanzhu carefully examined it and nodded slightly.

There are no demons here, and the environment is pleasant, making it a suitable place for secluded cultivation.

Without hesitation, I stepped forward, crossed the waterfall, and stood before the cliff face.

As the palm extends, blood and energy surge forth, and layers of rock begin to crumble away, turning to ash.

Soon, a simple cave dwelling was completed, consisting of two bedrooms, a living room, and arrays covering the surrounding area.

Zhang Yuanzhu and Su Meng entered the cave.

The woman glanced at the young man's storage bag containing the Star Blood Grass at his waist and reminded him:
“One must be extremely cautious when taking Star Blood Grass.”

Even a prodigy who has reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining and condensed twelve magical runes can only consume fourteen or fifteen plants.

"I will pay attention."

The young man nodded.

He turned around and went into his bedroom.

He took out a futon, sat cross-legged, and patted his storage bag with his palm.

A small clump of Starblood Grass appeared before them.

He reached out and picked up a plant, examined it carefully, and confirmed that it was correct.

Swallow it in one gulp!
Boom!

The precious medicine melts instantly upon entering the mouth, permeating the entire body, causing the blood and qi to boil instantly, with strands of blood and qi unconsciously overflowing.

Zhang Yuanzhu sensed the changes in his body, and a smile appeared on his lips, filled with pleasure.

Starlight also possesses an unknown energy that polishes everything around it, violently and rapidly.

No wonder cultivators can only consume a limited amount of Star Blood Grass; its medicinal effects are far too potent.

"interesting!"

The young man chuckled, reached out his hand, picked up another Starblood Grass, and swallowed it.

He stretched out his palm repeatedly, swallowing a herb every so often, about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Eight Star Blood Treasure Medicines!

Twelve Star Blood Treasure Herbs!!
Sixteen Star Blood Treasure Herbs!!!

Zhang Yuanzhu swallowed a total of forty-nine Star Blood Grasses, and the pile of herbs in front of him was reduced by more than half.

Inside the cave, the young man's figure had long since become blurred, with only the pervasive aura of blood and starlight remaining.

These blood essences and starlight twisted and deformed continuously, eventually transforming into a blood dragon and a blood elephant.

Roar! Howl!
The blood dragon and blood elephant roared to the sky, causing the blood mist to explode and reveal their slender figures.

The Xuanwu Nuo mask had long since disappeared, revealing a face covered in cracks, with specks of blood flowing down, staining the robes and the earth.

His entire body seemed like fragile glass, ready to shatter at any moment.

Zhang Yuanzhu's eyes were calm, without much emotion.

My body has reached its limit.

Do not!
It should be said that he had already reached his limit when he took the thirty-sixth precious herb.

Through sheer willpower, he constantly teetered between life and death, consuming thirteen more plants, bringing his total to forty-nine.

He raised his hand, revealing cracks and drops of blood flowing from them, but the young man seemed not to notice.

He reached forward with his five fingers and gently stroked the Blood Dragon and Blood Elephant.

"From the Demon Elephant Might Technique to the Dragon Elephant Might Technique, I have cultivated to this level, which can be considered as transcending the technique itself."

Zhang Yuanzhu spoke softly, his eyes gentle, recalling the feelings he had when he first practiced the body-refining technique.

Bang!
With his five fingers clenched together, the blood dragon and blood elephant flowed down his palm and directly merged into his body.

In an instant, the cracks in its body became even narrower and longer, spreading inward to reveal its white bones.

The young man sat cross-legged on the ground, expressionless, quietly sensing his body.

Tearing apart and mending, shattered and reborn, life struggles repeatedly on the border between life and death. Each time he faced death, Zhang Yuanzhu pulled through.

Four days have passed.

The cracks on his body completely healed, and he truly refined forty-nine Star Blood Grasses.

"Whoo~"

He exhaled a breath of stale air, generating a rolling wave that shook the entire room.

He didn't use any force; it wasn't just an instinctive exhale.

Zhang Yuanzhu stretched out his palm, his gaze falling, and his five distinct fingers came into view.

The power it contains is extremely strong.

"His strength increased by more than 50%, and his muscles, bones, skin, and internal organs became as solid as spirit iron."

"Moreover, this body has completely transcended the shackles of the Dragon Elephant Mighty Technique."

Zhang Yuanzhu whispered, sensing his own power.

These are all the gains from consuming Starblood Grass, but these are not the biggest gains.

The forty-nine Starblood Grasses, while tempering his body with starlight, also deepened his control and perception of starlight.

He gained a deeper understanding of the spell "Yao Guang Xing Yi" and could attempt to condense spell runes.

However, the island was too special, with dormant magical power, which might affect the condensation of magical runes, making him hesitate.

"Never mind, we have enough strength to deal with any situation now."

"I'll try to condense the runes again after we leave the island."

Putting the matter of condensing the magic runes out of his mind, Zhang Yuanzhu gently waved his hand.

A huge fragment of a star appeared before them.

The star fragments obtained from the sea of ​​stars no longer resemble their original form.

The fragments were dark, and the star patterns engraved on them had all faded away.

The young man knew that all the essence of these starlight, including the fragments, was absorbed by what was being nurtured within them.

And now it has been successfully conceived.

Zhang Yuanzhu spread his five fingers and gently stroked the star fragments, his eyes filled with pleasure.

In the next instant, his palm suddenly exerted force, piercing directly into the star fragment.

Bang!
With a dull thud, the hand slowly withdrew, and slivers of dazzling starlight peeked through the gaps between the fingers.

Like a star held in the palm of a young man's hand, it shines brightly.

Click!Click!
As the hand retracted, the fragments of the star cracked open, finally scattering into dust.

Zhang Yuanzhu didn't even glance at it; his gaze was fixed on the item in his palm.

A fist-sized star core contains the purest starlight and profound Daoist principles, involving the stars themselves.

This is absolutely a treasure, suitable for forging into a natal magic weapon. Compared to the spiritual embryos naturally born in the world, it is only slightly inferior.

But
Zhang Yuanzhu flipped his palm, and a snow-white and crystal-clear stone appeared beside the star core.

He also possesses a half-spiritual embryo, a treasure obtained during his journey to the Black Horn Secret Realm. Back then, in the Fire Rock Plains Valley, he and Xie Beiling fought side by side and obtained a half-spiritual embryo together.

He took half of the spirit embryo, while Xie Beiling took the longsword spirit embryo.

Now, using this half of the spiritual embryo and star core as materials, the natal magic weapon will certainly be no weaker than a real spiritual embryo.

The young man gazed at the two treasures before him, a smile spreading across his face.

The path to the foundation is smooth and level.

Lost in thought, Zhang Yuanzhu waved his hand, collecting the star core and half of the spirit embryo.

Then, he changed into brand-new robes and put on the Xuanwu Nuo mask.

He stood up, his arms hanging naturally at his sides, and walked towards the stone gate.

Crunch!

The stone door opened automatically, revealing a beautiful figure.

Su Meng stood at the edge of the cave, gazing at the waterfall flowing down, her white dress fluttering in the wind, her long black hair cascading down to her waist.

Her aura was much stronger than it had been four days ago, indicating a significant improvement.

Ta-ta-ta~
The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the cave, causing the woman to turn around, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed as she carefully examined the woman.

After a moment, he chuckled softly:
"Brother Dao has finished his seclusion; it seems he has gained a great deal."

The other party strode forward, like a blazing sun approaching, unbearably hot, distorting the very air.

This is a symbol of surging blood and strong physique.

Zhang Yuanzhu stopped beside the woman, his hand stroking the hilt of his knife, gazing out of the cave.

"It's just a slight improvement, nothing to brag about."

"Senior brother is too modest. I wonder how many Star Blood Grasses you have consumed."

The woman, out of curiosity, asked.

The young man's lips curled into a smile, a hint of satisfaction in his expression, as he uttered two words:
"Quite a bit!"

As the words were spoken, the topic was diverted to inquire about the external situation.

"How is the conflict between humans and demons unfolding on the island?"

Su Meng's eyes flickered as she analyzed her senior brother's words.

"Not few" must exceed the fifteen normal prodigies would have. Did they swallow seventeen or eighteen Star Blood Grasses? It couldn't possibly exceed twenty.

The woman guessed as she responded:
"Humans should have the advantage; cultivators have been passing by this waterfall since the second day of their seclusion."

"However, we need to collect the specific details ourselves."

Zhang Yuanzhu nodded, extended his palm, and the array patterns engraved with blood and qi began to dissipate.

"Then let's end our seclusion and explore the Land of Creation."

"Alright, the sect has some records of that place of creation, but it must be inhabited by a large number of powerful beings, so we must be careful."

Su Meng naturally had no objection. The main purpose of the two entering the island was to refine the Golden Core Great Demon. Everything else had to wait.

Having reached a consensus, the two walked out of the cave side by side.

Boom!

The cave collapsed, and all traces were erased.

Zhang Yuanzhu and Su Meng stepped forward, their auras gradually dissipating, like grass, trees, and stones, without revealing a trace.

Led by the woman, the young man traversed jungles and crossed mountains, heading ever towards the center of the island.

During this time, they encountered many battles between cultivators and demons, but neither of them intervened and quietly left.

Of course, if he encountered any cultivators from Fallen Demon Mountain, Zhang Yuanzhu would immediately take action and kill them.

"Brother Dao, your methods of exorcising demons are too extreme."

Su Meng ran quickly, her lips twitching.

Along the way, she truly witnessed what it meant to hate evil like poison, and that her senior brother beside her was definitely from the righteous path.

But whose disciple is this, using such methods?

Regardless of Su Meng's thoughts, on the sixth day after leaving the cave, the two arrived at the outer edge of the Land of Creation.

Kill kill kill~ Roar roar~
The roars and shouts of battle soared into the sky.

As soon as Zhang Yuanzhu approached the outer perimeter, he sensed a fierce killing intent and a surge of blood energy as turbulent as the ocean.

They tried their best to conceal their presence as they crossed the jungle and drew ever closer.

boom!
The vision suddenly opens up.

Corpses littered the earth, and blood flowed like a stream, as living beings fought madly here.

In the center of the battlefield, a dozen figures fought fiercely around an ancient well.

The collisions and the dissipated vital energy, like a raging storm, swept across the vast wilderness.

Su Meng gazed at the ancient well, tilted her head slightly, leaned close to the young man's ear, and whispered:
"That stone well is the place where the True Monarch of the Demon Clan is sealed, and it is also a place for refining. It is not yet time to open it."

"How much longer?"

Zhang Yuanzhu frowned deeply.

There were a dozen or so powerful figures beside the well, the weakest of whom was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. Outside the island, they could kill him with a single slap.

But within the island, the gap between the two sides has narrowed considerably.

Su Meng took out a brown tortoise shell, flicked it lightly with her five fingers, and cracks appeared on the shell.

She carefully examined the cracks, and after a moment, slowly recounted:

"Seven days and nights!"
