If I let you lie low and remain the Dragon King, would you have unified the primordial world?.

Chapter 152 The Great Calamity of the Spiritual Treasure Ends, and Another Generous Reward is Received

The transformation of the gourd vine into a supreme innate treasure level naturally brought enormous benefits to the seventh gourd.

After all, the seventh gourd is not yet mature; it is still part of the gourd vine.

"This gourd survived a great calamity and has now received its due benefits. I just wonder how high it will advance in the future?"

Ao Bai still had high expectations for the gourd vine. Judging from the condition of the first six gourds, they were all top-grade innate spiritual treasures. This seventh gourd had gone through even more, and it was cultivated after the gourd vine had advanced.

When the seventh gourd matures, its grade will definitely be higher than the previous six.

If it surpasses even the highest-grade innate spiritual treasure, wouldn't it be an innate supreme treasure?

Ao Bai was extremely excited about this, but since the black gourd had already surpassed the level of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, its growth had begun to slow down.

It is obviously not an easy task to nurture a higher-level treasure.

"It would be better to continue nurturing the earth's veins and repairing the western lands."

As Ao Bai continued to repair the damage, he gradually gained more insights and his mind became clearer.

The improvement of the primordial world will inevitably benefit all living beings, not only in the Western world, but also in the Eastern world.

After all, the primordial world is a whole; only when the concentration of spiritual energy in the west increases can the eastern lands also have more spiritual energy.

The rise and fall of the primordial world are inextricably linked to the western lands.

As Ao Bai repaired the earth's veins, his fortune began to slowly improve.

This act of repairing the earth's veins has clearly gained the approval of many living beings and has already brought benefits to some of them, which is why Ao Bai's fortune has improved accordingly.

As Ao Bai continued to be repaired, the difficulty also increased.

From the point where East and West meet, to the depths of the West, the damage to the earth's veins becomes increasingly severe, making restoration extremely difficult.

However, after Ao Bai's repairs, the earth's veins here have recovered considerably, and the concentration of spiritual energy throughout the entire western land has increased several levels.

"Not bad, not bad. It's just a pity that the western area is too large. I can only repair the outer ley lines first. The central part is difficult to deal with."

In that area near the center, many of the ley lines were not damaged, but completely destroyed and disappeared. As a result, it was impossible for Ao Bai to repair them; he would have to regenerate them.

Currently, Ao Bai does not yet have the ability to nurture earth veins; he can only repair the damaged ones first.

This process will take at least hundreds of thousands of years to complete, so Ao Bai can't rush it.

He has already received countless benefits and is willing to continue his efforts.

After all, the growth of the prehistoric world was of great help to Ao Bai.

"As long as we can stabilize the situation temporarily, stop the decline of spiritual energy in the primordial world, and maintain the status quo, the repairs should be completed more quickly once I become stronger."

Ao Bai was quite insightful. It was clear that it would be extremely difficult to completely repair the ley lines of the primordial world, especially with the ongoing war between the Lich King and the Demon King, which had severely damaged the eastern world as well.

In this way, it's not just the West that needs repair; the East does too.

Relatively speaking, the destruction of the land and sky in the East was less severe, and it was easier to repair.

Ao Bai worked day and night to repair himself, and the merit energy on his body continued to gather. After the gourd vine was upgraded to the level of a supreme innate treasure, Ao Bai began to cultivate the Holy Embryo of Merit.

This meritorious sacred embryo also participated in the restoration of the earth's veins, and now it has undergone some qualitative changes.

"Use the energy of merit to first elevate the Holy Embryo to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal."

After pondering for a moment, Ao Bai immediately began to work on improving his skills.

He has enough merit, but he still needs to make some provisions for the gourd vine to ensure its future improvement and use.

As the Holy Embryo of Merit began to absorb, the massive amount of merit energy was consumed.

This progression from the mid-stage to the late-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm is not something that can be easily achieved.

In the current primordial world, the Three Pure Ones are still at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. With their talent and good fortune, breaking through to the next level is no easy task.

The Holy Embryo of Merit opened all nine orifices, and streams of merit were drawn into it.

The dazzling golden light shone in all directions, and a powerful pressure descended upon the earth's veins.

The Holy Embryo of Merit has been recognized by Heaven and Earth. It played a key role in the process of repairing the earth's veins, so now the Holy Embryo of Merit is even more extraordinary. It looks more like a creature with nine orifices.

However, the Holy Embryo of Merit has no intelligence; it is a part of Ao Bai, an extension of his body.

With an abundant supply of merit energy, the Holy Embryo's ascension proceeded very smoothly, and its energy grew stronger and stronger.

"boom!"

The Holy Embryo of Merit underwent its final transformation and successfully advanced to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

The colorful glow of the sunset illuminated all directions, and a sacred aura permeated the heavens and earth.

The late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm—this is probably a realm that no disciple of the Xuanmen sect has yet reached.

"It's a success!"

Ao Bai cheered. With this late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal's meritorious holy embryo, his actions would be much more convenient in the future.

Once in danger, merging with the Holy Embryo will allow one to unleash the power of a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, enough to sweep away everything.

"Now, all I need to do is improve my own strength; I'm still a bit short of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm."

Ao Bai was full of confidence in the future. Now that he had the Holy Embryo of Merit in hand, he already had a certain amount of capital.

He also has his own ideas about attaining enlightenment in the future, which will be revealed when he reaches that point.

In recent years, Ao Bai has been repairing the earth veins in the western lands, and the Yuanzhou Immortal Island has also been developing vigorously, becoming stronger and stronger.

Meanwhile, neither the Lich nor the Demon race was idle. They were expanding outwards, resulting in constant friction and a series of large and small battles, with casualties on both sides.

It is worth mentioning, however, that the Witch Clan has won over many allies. Under the leadership of Emperor Ziwei, these groups have gathered around the Witch Clan and provided them with a great deal of assistance.

On the contrary, the demon race, after unifying the starry river, began to digest their own gains and did not continue to expand outward.

The demon race now has a large number of members, a mixed bag that is difficult to manage, and many groups even have deadly feuds, making unified command impossible.

This is different from the Wu Clan, which is a large clan. Although many beings have joined them, their numbers do not exceed those of the Wu Clan itself.

The demon race is a force composed of all races stitched together; their structure is complex, making it difficult for them to achieve complete unity.

Therefore, after discovering the problem, Emperor Jun of the Demon Emperor secretly discussed with the three Demon Emperors and temporarily stopped the expansion.

"The fact that the Ziwei Emperor is still alive makes those star gods uneasy and makes it difficult for them to cooperate with us wholeheartedly."

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, said that the number of demons is enormous, and only by concentrating their power can they achieve their greatest effect.

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, why not forge a treasure and place the true spirits of these cultivators inside it to restrain them, forcing them to obey orders? Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Nuwa said that once the true spirit is controlled, it will no longer be able to disobey the Demon Emperor's orders.

Even if you harbor hatred towards each other, you must let it go.

Because one has mastered the true spirit, one can destroy the opponent with a single thought. Those who do not wish to die have no choice but to obey absolutely and cannot disobey.

Emperor Jun frowned slightly. Although this method was feasible, he was afraid that the cultivators would not be happy with it. After all, who would be willing to put their life and death in the hands of others?

Moreover, he could destroy you with a single thought. Even if you haven't done anything wrong, if the Demon Emperor wants you dead, you would be powerless to resist.

If this matter were to spread, those beings who had not joined the demon race would likely avoid it even more.

"Wouldn't doing this affect the future development of our demon race?"

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, was still somewhat worried.

If the demon race wants to continue to grow stronger, it needs to continuously gather all kinds of living beings. Only in this way can they maintain their growth.

Nuwa shook her head and said:

"By now, those beings willing to join our demon race have probably already pledged their allegiance. The rest are either unwilling to join or are opportunists. These cultivators are not easy to control, so we need to use some methods to manage them."

Nuwa's words resonated with Donghuang Taiyi, as this was indeed the current situation of the demon race. Many other races had already joined the demon race, and those who had not joined were mostly those with ulterior motives.

Even if these groups eventually join, they won't be completely loyal, and some tough measures will be needed.

In this way, the drawbacks of Nuwa's suggestion can be completely ignored, and it may even become an advantage.

Those who were unwilling to join were directly given their true spirits, and they would have no choice but to follow the demon race wholeheartedly.

"Alright, let's follow Nuwa's suggestion. But how do we begin to refine this treasure that gathers true spirits?"

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, had no knowledge of weapon crafting, let alone any plans.

"This is not difficult. I have some knowledge of weapon crafting. Once it is successfully crafted, I will let everyone see it."

Nuwa smiled smugly. She had a demon-summoning gourd that she had picked from Buzhou Mountain. With a little effort, she could successfully refine it.

This was the gourd's destined fate, and now it was finally time for it to make its appearance.

"Haha, Nuwa is shrewd and skillful. We'll just sit back and enjoy the fruits of her labor."

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, was in high spirits. Such a thorny problem was easily solved in front of them, which was indeed something to celebrate.

The demon race plans to create demon-summoning banners, while the witch race is also working hard to research the "Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation," which is their core. As long as they can grasp this formation, the witch race will be invincible.

It must be said that the Twelve Ancestral Witches had a very good eye for talent.

While they diligently studied and deduced the grand formation, they also actively courted other races, allocating a portion of their territory to them, making these groups increasingly close to the Wu tribe and willing to serve them.

As a result, the advantage of the Wu Clan has become increasingly greater, while the advantage of the Demon Clan in occupying the Nine Heavens Star River has become less obvious.

The demon race's summoning banner soon appeared out of nowhere. This was a treasure that the demon race was destined to have, so its appearance now was not a problem at all.

The appearance of the Demon-Summoning Banner has made the cohesion of the demon race stronger than ever before, and the combat power of the entire demon race has increased rapidly.

With this treasure that allowed them to control the demon race, the four demon emperors once again began to consider expanding outwards.

Nowadays, any tribe they set their sights on will be conquered as soon as their army arrives.

If the other party dares to resist, kill them on the spot.

Those who are afraid of death will be captured by them, and their true spirits will be taken away by the Demon-Summoning Banner, turning them into puppets of the demon race.

After this series of actions, all the races of the prehistoric world were filled with fear of the demon race. Those who were unwilling to join them went out of the world, fearing that they would be captured by the demon race.

In this way, Yuanzhou Immortal Island actually benefited. Many beings who were unwilling to join the Witch and Demon races fled to the four seas and joined the Yuanzhou Immortal Island lineage. This move brought the number of beings on Yuanzhou Immortal Island to over two billion.

However, compared to the hundreds of billions of members of the Lich and Demon races, the Yuanzhou Immortal Island lineage is still far behind.

Two billion is only considered a large group in the primordial world, definitely not a supreme being at the forefront.

After the Lich and Demon races increased their strength once again, the friction between them began to intensify.

Although both races have exercised restraint and are still in the development and improvement stage, the aura of the Great Calamity has once again become extremely strong.

In the primordial world, the fervor among cultivators for spiritual treasures has subsided somewhat, and the large-scale emergence of these treasures is nearing its end.

Some top experts collected enough innate spiritual treasures, and they took the opportunity to hide away and comprehend the Three Corpses Mystic Method taught by Hongjun Daozu, no longer paying attention to the outside world.

The situation between the Lich and the Lich races is escalating, and a brand new storm is quietly brewing.

The clash between the two major ethnic groups is clearly inevitable.

Ao Bai was helpless in the face of these situations, and he was unwilling to easily participate in the Lich War.

Ao Bai now possesses considerable strength, but he is even more aware that he cannot afford to be complacent.

In the future, the primordial world will enter the era of quasi-saints and then the era of saints.

That will be the real test for him. Even after the Lich War ends, the Dragon Clan will still be targeted by the Heavenly Dao.

When Quasi-Saints are everywhere and Great Luo Immortals are no better than dogs, and the Six Saints dominate the world, Ao Bai's advantage will completely disappear, and the Dragon Clan will be in its most awkward situation.

Ao Bai, this variable, will also face his greatest test.

That is why Ao Bai is now focused on growing stronger as quickly as possible, and at the same time, he also wants to repair the earth's veins to help the prehistoric world get rid of its current predicament.

Unfortunately, repairing the earth's veins is not something that can be done overnight. Even though the gourd vine has successfully advanced, it still needs to rest and can only be repaired slowly, little by little.

It was at this moment that Ao Bai suddenly received another reward notification from his cheat system.

[Reborn in the primordial world 335,600 years ago, the Great Calamity of Spiritual Treasures has ended. You have successfully escaped this calamity and survived, receiving the following survival rewards:]

[Basic Reward: Increases cultivation by 26,000 years.]

[Special Reward: One Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.]
