Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 73 Star Pearl

A spirit pearl floated in Qi's hand, rotating slightly and emitting a glow. Upon closer inspection, it seemed as if a galaxy was rotating within it.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the sun and moon shifted, and strange phenomena encompassed the Yunmeng Marsh, turning everything from daytime into night.

The sunlight disappeared, and a lone moon hung high in the sky, with the morning star twinkling, seemingly echoing the spirit pearl.

The spirit pearl released the nebula, which circled around it. Qi casually flicked one of the stars, and the star fell.

One of the stars in the sky also fell, turning into a shooting star with a long tail of flame, and fell into the Yunmeng Marsh.

Suddenly, a huge wave surged, but it calmed down instantly in the corner of Qi's eye.

Qi was too lazy to test each one individually, so he simply swept his hand across the nebula.

The stars above Yunmeng Marsh burst into dazzling light, then turned into meteors and fell into the marsh.

The ripples on the water's surface calmed down again in Qi's eyes.

Qi looked at the lonely spirit pearl with slight disappointment and tapped it with her finger.

The darkness of the night trembled instantly, and the bright moon, which had been hanging high in the sky, began to fall towards Yunmengze. Its dazzling light burst forth the moment it touched the Yunmengze.

Originally, under Qi's control, the lake surface, which was as smooth as a mirror, was no longer calm. The lake surface was churning with turbulent waves, which could not be calmed down for a long time even under Qi's suppression.

Seeing such power, Qi nodded in satisfaction and put the spirit orb back into his hand.

As the moon set, the sky that had shrouded Yunmengze disappeared, and sunlight shone on the earth once more, as if the previous fall of stars had never happened.

As the moon fell, the spirit pearl dimmed considerably. Qi poured divine power into it, and it gradually began to return to normal.

"Interesting. Its power is decent. But if it only contains stars, then this Star Bead is rather flashy and impractical."

This Star Pearl is one of the eight superior innate spiritual treasures given to the Ancestral Dragon when he brought the water gods to Yunmeng Marsh. It has the effect of changing the world within a certain range.

Moreover, divine power can be stored within it, transforming into a projection of stars surrounding the moon. While its power is average, its advantage lies in its convenience; as long as there is enough divine power, it can be continuously transformed.

The power of the falling moon is still considerable, but it also requires a great deal of divine power. It can store up to twelve round moons and 129,600 star projections.

Its internal structure explains the principle of Pangu's hair transforming into stars, and the arrangement of the stars has its own subtleties.

"However, it seems I used it wrong. It's a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, not a weapon-type spiritual treasure, so it shouldn't be used so simply."

"It contains no scriptures or teachings, only the creation of stars; such a thing is not enough to qualify it as a high-grade text."

Qi began to carefully observe the subtle movements of the star projections.

"I seem to have seen a similar scene somewhere before, in Yunmengze."

Pray to try to recall.

Finally, Qi remembered.

"The Candle Dragon Establishes the Calendar!"

Yes, Qi finally remembered, allowing him to replay this memory over and over again from a long period of time.

"The movement of stars and the balance of yin and yang—this is what initially sparked my interest in formations. I never knew there was such a wonderful thing hidden within them."

Qi became interested again, holding the Star Pearl in his hand and immersing himself in it, constantly observing their changes.

After a long time, the eyes on his forehead finally opened again, and the light of his spirit illuminated the trajectory of the stars. He kept recording it and carefully observed the rotation of each star.

At the same time, he tried to imitate it with divine power, but he could never quite get it right.

Left with no other choice, Qi could only focus on recording the movement of the stars within the Star Pearl.

Just like before, use divine power to transform into stars, participate in their operation, and accelerate or interrupt them.

Nuwa looked up at the night sky, watching countless shooting stars streak across the sky, and said:

"It's quite pretty, but its power isn't that great."

She still preferred innate spiritual treasures that had simpler, more direct, and more powerful effects, and it wasn't until the bright moon set that she found them somewhat interesting.

Seeing that the meteor shower had ended, Nuwa returned to enlightenment and creation, causing the divine stones and immortal herbs to be consumed at a visible rate.

Southern continent.

Yuan Feng flew towards the Immortal Volcano. The Flame Banner on the ground moved without wind, disrupting Yin and Yang and reversing the Five Elements, using divine light to protect himself.

He then took out a red jade gourd from his sleeve, drank a mouthful of the Three Lights Divine Water, held it in his mouth, and poured out the remaining water from the gourd.

Instantly, the entire interior of the volcano burst into flames, and innate spiritual energy permeated the entire space.

Red mist appeared inside the volcano, and when it touched the divine light of the Flame Banner above the ground, it caused the divine light to show signs of melting.

The same applies to those divine flames; they extinguish upon contact, causing the red mist to diminish and become even more crimson.

The red mist moved closer and closer to the crater, eventually rising into the sky.

Yuan Feng was pale. He tried his best to avoid the red mist and the divine fire in the volcano, but there were too many of them, and he was bound to run into them eventually.

Even with the protection of the Flame Banner that lifted him off the ground, the loss of his divine power while traversing the sea of ​​fire was still astonishingly high.

The various divine flames scattered in the air have different effects, and under their influence, the consumption of mental energy is unavoidable, which cannot be compensated for by a single sip of the Three Lights Divine Water.

Seeing that the red mist had dissipated and the divine fire in the volcano had diminished considerably, and the fiery atmosphere had calmed down a bit, Yuan Feng quickly left the volcano.

The sky turned red, and even the clouds seemed to be on fire.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Feng had no choice but to reveal her true form and fly into the sky once more.

The light of the five elements circulated around his body, constantly dispelling the fire in the sky until it returned to normal before he fell again.

At this moment, the entire sky above the immortal volcano area appeared exceptionally clean, so clean that there were no clouds and no color.

The intense sunlight shone directly on the earth, drying it out and leaving it cracked and covered with fissures.

Yuan Feng knew that this wouldn't solve the problem of the Undying Volcano; it would only replace one problem with another.

However, he had no choice; for the time being, this was the only option. He had to relieve the pressure on the central volcano before considering anything else.

After consuming several immortal herbs, Yuan Feng headed towards the next volcano. There was only one volcano in the center, but there were still many things in the core area that he needed to deal with.

Although not as dangerous as the central volcano, there are thousands of them, each extremely dangerous, and the slightest carelessness could cause serious injury.

"One Yuanhui should be enough to temporarily relieve the pressure on the core area of ​​the Undying Volcano. Based on past experience, it should be able to prevent an eruption for ten Yuanhui. I just don't know if past experience will still be useful?"

Yuan Feng was filled with worries.

The dispelled fire gradually spread throughout the southern continent, with most of it scattered over the South China Sea.

Every drop of heat causes the water temperature to rise sharply, resulting in a large amount of water evaporation.

Fortunately, the creatures of the South China Sea have become accustomed to this phenomenon and are not surprised by it. They have also evolved an environment that can withstand the high temperature of the seawater.
