Primordial Era: I, Hongyun, take charge of the literary path

After taking control of the Fire Cloud Cave Heaven, Hongyun became aware of all the lands of creation within it.

Hongyun was surprised to find that there were three places in the Fire Cloud Cave Heaven that possessed innate spiritual energy, located in the three directions of Heaven, Earth, and Man within the Fire Cloud Cave Heaven.

With the help of the authority of the Lord of Fire Cloud Cave, Hongyun moved with a thought and came to the talent position in Fire Cloud Cave.

The location of Huoyun Cave is a spiritual river.

Hongyun waved to Lingchuan, and a streak of light flew out and hovered in front of him.

This is a white jade bottle-shaped spiritual treasure, its body radiating a dazzling, holy white light.

Hongyun took off the magical treasure and found some spiritual liquid inside the jade bottle, which emitted a faint fragrance.

"What kind of magical treasure is this?!"

Hongyun felt a sense of wonder, so he sat down cross-legged and began to refine the spiritual treasure, and a stream of true fire landed on the bottle.

Under the refinement of true fire, the jade bottle spun endlessly, and Hongyun's primordial spirit was gradually imprinted on it.

After a thousand years, Hongyun opened her eyes and had already begun to refine this spiritual treasure.

"A low-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Jade Dew Bottle!"

The Jade Dew Bottle possesses 12 innate restrictions, making it a top-tier spiritual treasure among low-grade innate spiritual treasures.

先天禁制：下品先天灵宝（1～12道禁制），中品先天灵宝（13～24道禁制），上品先天灵宝（25～36道禁制）

Top-grade innate spiritual treasure (37-48 restrictions), supreme innate treasure (49 restrictions)

The Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine. In the primordial world, forty-nine innate restrictions are the limit.

The Jade Dew Bottle contains the laws of water and life, and is an auxiliary spiritual treasure. It condenses a drop of jade dew every hundred years, and this jade dew has miraculous healing effects.

Although Jade Dew is not as miraculous as the Three Lights Divine Water, it is equally effective. If used on mortals, a single drop of Jade Dew can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded.

If used on immortals, as long as there is enough jade dew, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal can be reborn.

"Haha, what a wonderful treasure!"

Hongyun was overjoyed; the jade dew accumulated in the jade dew bottle was enough to restore him to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Having obtained the Jade Dew Bottle, Hongyun had a sudden thought and left the Fire Cloud Cave. When he reappeared, he was already at the Earthly Talent position in the Fire Cloud Cave.

The location of Huoyun Cave is a volcano.

Inside the volcano, Hongyun found a low-grade innate spiritual treasure called the Fire Cloud Banner.

The Fiery Cloud Banner also contains 12 innate restrictions, imbued with the laws of fire, and can control all the fires in the world.

Hongyun absorbed the Fire Cloud Banner into his body, imprinted it with his primordial spirit, and then went to the genius position in the Fire Cloud Cave.

The genius spot in Huoyun Cave is a rain cloud.

At the heart of the rain clouds lies a fairy island, upon which sits a crystal-green lake.

The lake was formed from liquefied spiritual energy, and Hongyun sensed a rich vitality of wood within it.

In the Spirit Liquid Lake, Hongyun found a low-grade innate spiritual treasure called the Yi Wood Pot.

The Yi Wood Pot also contains 12 innate restrictions, imbued with the laws of wood. Its function is to transform ordinary spiritual water into Yi Wood divine water, accelerating the growth of spiritual roots.

"Even the Fiery Cloud Cave has nurtured three low-grade innate spiritual treasures. I wonder what kind of fortunes the Ten Great Grotto-Heavens, the Thirty-Six Lesser Grotto-Heavens, and the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands possess?"

Hongyun couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The number of innate spiritual treasures in the primordial world is limited, and they are very difficult to increase; ordinary people rarely possess even one.

Under the Heavenly Dao, there are nine innate supreme treasures, twenty-seven top-grade innate spiritual treasures, and forty-five superior innate spiritual treasures.

There are also 63 mid-grade innate spiritual treasures and 81 low-grade innate spiritual treasures.

The only way to break free from this predetermined fate is through a single magical treasure: the Qiankun Cauldron, a supreme innate treasure.

The Qiankun Cauldron is formed from the lotus pod of the Chaos Green Lotus. It has the ability to refine spiritual treasures, transform acquired into innate, and can also be used as a defensive treasure.

However, the Qiankun Cauldron cannot be used to refine innate spiritual treasures casually. It requires the refiner to consume merit and fortune, and the spiritual treasures refined are not within the scope of destiny.

The innate spiritual treasures in the Heavenly Calculation can connect with the corresponding laws of heaven and earth. Cultivators who use them to comprehend the laws will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The innate spiritual treasures refined by the Qiankun Cauldron cannot connect with the corresponding laws of heaven and earth and cannot be used to assist in cultivation, but their other functions are no different.

Therefore, Hongyun's discovery of three innate spiritual treasures in the Fire Cloud Cave can definitely be described as having profound luck.

Besides these three innate spiritual treasures, Fire Cloud Cave also has a large number of materials for alchemy and weapon crafting, acquired spiritual herbs and medicinal plants, as well as many rare birds and beasts.

After all, it's a resource from a one-dimensional world.

Afterwards, Hongyun began searching for materials throughout Huoyun Cave, preparing to build a group of palaces and set up a mountain-guarding formation to make it an impregnable fortress.

Hongyun started small, collecting jade, purple gold, immortal gold, true iron, fire cloud copper mother, and strange crystals to refine the array bases into palace-like structures.

Because the materials were not of high quality, the palaces that Hongyun initially crafted were also of low quality, mostly high-grade magic artifacts, with a few being top-grade magic artifacts.

In the primordial world, magical treasures are divided into spiritual treasures and magical artifacts. Below magical artifacts, there are also weapons that are not even considered proper weapons.

Magical artifacts and weapons are all crafted later.

There are innate spiritual treasures and acquired spiritual treasures. There is also a category of merit spiritual treasures, which are generally acquired spiritual treasures. The most famous merit spiritual treasures should be the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler and the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda.

Each meritorious treasure carries a portion of destiny. The Primordial Measuring Ruler and the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda carry the destiny of creation, while the Literary Destiny Chart carries the destiny of literature and the Way.

It is precisely because it carries a certain kind of fortune that an acquired spiritual treasure can contain merit and become a merit spiritual treasure, which is why merit spiritual treasures are so rare.

If it does not carry any kind of fortune, the spiritual treasure will only absorb merit to strengthen itself, from a low-grade spiritual treasure to a mid-grade spiritual treasure, and from a mid-grade spiritual treasure to a high-grade spiritual treasure.

In this situation, the merit is consumed. Without merit, how can it be considered a spiritual treasure?

Each merit treasure is rare and hard to come by. Moreover, merit treasures can absorb merit to advance their grade, and theoretically, they can all be upgraded to supreme merit treasures.

In the vast wilderness, years are forgotten; in the blink of an eye, the ocean has become a vast expanse.

Hongyun has been refining magical artifacts in the Fire Cloud Cave for 100,000 years, and his weapon-refining skills have been constantly improving.

From the initial high-grade magic artifacts, to the later top-grade magic artifacts, and then to the low-grade acquired spiritual treasures.

If this avatar's cultivation level weren't so low, Hongyun might have been able to refine a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

After the weapon forging session concluded, various palaces of different styles were scattered around Hongyun.

Those palaces were only the size of a stool, each one radiant with light and color, overflowing with precious brilliance and spiritual energy.

Hongyun carefully counted them: there were over three thousand high-grade magic artifacts, three hundred and sixty-five top-grade magic artifacts, and forty-nine low-grade acquired spiritual treasures.

Looking at these magical treasures, artifacts, and palaces, Hongyun waved his hand, and streams of light fell on various parts of the Fire Cloud Cave.

Palaces appeared in the sky, on the earth, on rivers, in the sea, on islands...

With each palace that descends, a beam of light shooting into the sky rises and merges directly into the entire Fire Cloud Cave.

"Four Symbols Formation, activate!"

As all the palaces descended, Hongyun formed a hand seal and shouted sharply, causing all the palaces to tremble simultaneously.

In the next instant, strange phenomena of earth, water, wind, and fire rose from all four directions of the Fire Cloud Cave. A Qilin emerged from the earth phenomenon, a divine dragon rose from the water phenomenon, a white tiger leaped from the wind phenomenon, and a Vermilion Bird flew out from the fire phenomenon.
