Primordial Emperor Xihuang

Chapter 55 The Flower of Death and the Great World of the Nine Springs

The primordial energy of heaven and earth descended, and Fuxi looked down into the darkness, confirming that this was the location of the innate treasure.

The thirty-three-tiered Xuanhuang Pagoda fell with overwhelming Xuanhuang energy, its endless Xuanhuang radiance expanding like a fiery tide in the darkness.

A crisp tearing sound rang out. Fuxi looked at the point of light that appeared in the darkness beneath him, and without hesitation, his figure transformed into a divine rainbow and flew into the light.

As his primordial spirit contracted and his physical body withered, Fuxi felt an extremely terrifying and magnificent spiritual light of the supreme treasure the moment he entered this bright light.

At this moment, Fuxi was quite certain that this was a primordial treasure that was being conceived.

A ray of spiritual light pressed down, suppressing all of Fuxi's essence and magical power, along with his own soul and primordial spirit. His mind fell into a daze, and Fuxi felt a wisp of his soul being stripped away by the supreme spiritual light.

Unconsciously, Fuxi seemed to have passed through nine worlds and entered an extremely magnificent world. Then, a great power came, and all of Fuxi's consciousness fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, in a mountain valley, the yin energy and death energy between heaven and earth condensed into a dark purple Yin Death Flower. After growing for a thousand years, the Yin Death Flower had reached the end of its life.

The death energy was interrupted, causing stagnation. The petals of the Yin Death Flower withered and shattered, and its slender stem also disappeared, leaving only a seed the size of a finger.

A faint purple light bloomed, the flower seed cracked open, and a young man in blue robes and black hair emerged from the seed. The moment he landed, the young man had already grown into an adult.

Looking at the gloomy world in the distance, seemingly shrouded in a thin mist, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the young man in blue: "The Nine Springs Great World? Is this something that evolved from a primordial treasure?"

The young man in blue was none other than Fuxi. His soul had been torn apart by the spiritual light of the innate treasure and cast into this great world of the Nine Springs, where he became one of the most ordinary ghosts.

The Nine Springs Great Heaven and Earth—Fuxi did not yet know whether it was a real Great Heaven and Earth or merely an illusory Great Heaven and Earth evolved from a primordial treasure.

The Nine Springs Great World is essentially a world of souls, where all living beings are composed of souls. In the Nine Springs Great World, these souls are collectively called ghosts, or the ghost race.

Fuxi was merely a wisp of soul that entered the Nine Springs Great World. Although he retained his Daoist cultivation, his cultivation level was reduced to below the Immortal Realm. Therefore, Fuxi was unable to explore the true nature of this Nine Springs Great World.

Fuxi only knew that he was now an ordinary Yin ghost in the Nine Springs Great World, and his cultivation had not even reached the Immortal Realm.

In the vast universe of the Nine Springs, there are countless ghosts, which are formed by the fusion of various yin energies and death energies. Yin ghosts are the most common ghosts formed from yin energy.

In the vast and primordial world, Fuxi was just an ordinary, post-natal being, with nothing particularly outstanding about him.

However, Fuxi was born from a thousand-year-old Yin Death Flower. Although the Yin Death Flower is not particularly precious, it is still a spiritual root and divine medicine of the Nine Springs Great World. Fuxi obtained some secrets and information about the Nine Springs Great World from the Yin Death Flower.

According to destiny, nine ghost kings will ascend to the pinnacle of the Nine Springs Great Heaven and Earth, obtain the Nine Springs Covenant bestowed by the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Springs, and become the rulers of the world.

It was precisely because of this destiny that the Nine Springs Great World, like the Primordial Great World, was engulfed in a struggle among myriad races, with many great clans vying for the fortune of heaven and earth, hoping to obtain the Nine Springs Contract through this fortune.

"The Nine Paths of the Nine Springs, the Great Heaven and Earth of the Nine Springs, the Ghost Clan—is this Great Heaven and Earth a rehearsal for the future Netherworld?"

Fuxi pondered the information about the Nine Springs Great World in his mind and felt that the key to his escape lay in these nine Nine Springs Contracts.

According to the information passed down from the Yin Si Flower, Fuxi learned that the Nine Springs Covenant is similar to the nine supreme powers of heaven and earth in the Nine Springs Great Heaven and Earth. Whoever obtains the Nine Springs Covenant will be able to wield a portion of the great power of the origin of heaven and earth.

Only the Pact of the Nine Springs has the power to interfere with the great world of the Nine Springs and allow Fuxi to return to the Sea of ​​Darkness.

While pondering the covenant of the Nine Springs, the power from the five true spiritual sources deep within Fuxi's soul began to slowly surge.

As mentioned before, Fuxi created the five true spiritual sources, which then transformed into five concepts and authorities that were bound to the existence of Fuxi.

No matter where Fuxi is or what state he is in, these five true spiritual sources will endow Fuxi with five kinds of power originating from the true spirit, which no existence can deny or extinguish.

These five true spiritual sources have now become Fuxi's only assistants after entering this great world of the Nine Springs, and also Fuxi's greatest source of confidence in obtaining the Pact of the Nine Springs.

The five true spiritual sources endowed Fuxi with ultimate control and continuous generation of soul power. Without relying on any existing things, Fuxi himself was able to continuously generate soul power and soul.

At this time, Fuxi did not really need the other root characteristics of the five true spiritual roots. Only the Dao-nature spiritual light root among the five true spiritual roots was activated by Fuxi first.

This source connects the celestial and mortal realms. Fuxi drew upon the source of the Daoist spiritual light, and in an instant, his soul connected with the ten directions of the Nine Springs Great Heaven and Earth.

As the surging power of heaven and earth swept in, Fuxi's cultivation aura began to rise steadily. The power of heaven and earth was forcibly restrained by the powerful true spiritual source and poured into Fuxi's body.

The power of Heaven and Man represents the power of the origin of heaven and earth. The existence of the source of the Daoist spiritual light means that as long as Fuxi's Daoist cultivation and state of mind can withstand it, then the improvement of Fuxi's own cultivation and Daoist cultivation is almost endless.

As the Yin energy continued to gather, Fuxi's cultivation level reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm in just a few breaths.

The Nine Springs Great World is a world of ghosts and spirits. Although Fuxi's cultivation level was at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, his internal structure was completely different from that of the Primordial Great World.

Fuxi sublimated his original Yin Ghost body into a Rakshasa body according to the cultivation system of the Nine Springs Great Heaven and Earth, thus completing the advancement of his cultivation realm.

According to the realm division of the Nine Springs Great World, Fuxi's cultivation level at this time should be called a ghost god in the Nine Springs Great World, with great power close to that of a god. If he were to go a step further, he would be equivalent to a ghost king in the Taiyi realm of the Primordial Great World.

"This is the first time I've experienced a ghost-like soul body. It's a ghost body forged entirely from yin and death energy. While it may not be as strong or have as much potential as the innate beings of the primordial world, it should be considered one of the top-tier qualities among all acquired beings."

Fuxi carefully studied the Rakshasa ghost body that had evolved according to the essence of the Nine Springs Great Heaven and Earth, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

The so-called Rakshasa is a kind of evil spirit that Fuxi transformed into in the cycle of reincarnation. The Rakshasa that Fuxi transformed into should be the first Rakshasa of the Nine Springs Great Heaven and Earth.
