The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

As dawn broke, Luo Zu rose and gazed upon the mountains, inhaling a breath of azure smoke.

This was obtained through a night of refining, stealing a bit of the sun's essence in the faint light of dawn.

After swallowing just this tiny bit of solar essence, Luo Zu felt his whole body burning hot. His skin, muscles, bones, internal organs, brain, and spirit were all full, as if he had eaten all the "food" for the day.

This is a recent insight of Luo Zu. What was this insight? It came from the Sun Demon.

Although the Sun Demon died, it did not leave nothing behind like the Eagle Demon, whose entire nest was crushed by huge rocks. So, although it won the victory and gained control of this forest, it did not obtain the Eagle Demon's essential possession, namely, the method for them to gain intelligence and enter the path of cultivation.

But this time, the situation was different for the Sun Demon. Luo Zu only killed their entire family and did not directly destroy their lair, so he was able to raid their home again, which gave Luo Zu an opportunity.

In their lair, Luo Zu obtained a cultivation technique—the All Living Beings Worship the Sun and Moon!

This was a powerful demon who cast a great spell on the sun and moon to give birth to more demons on the primordial land. This gave all living beings the opportunity to obtain this method from the sun and moon, especially those ignorant beings who were born without intelligence. They were more likely to obtain this method, and with this method, they could worship the sun and moon to obtain their essence and awaken their wisdom.

After obtaining this method, Luo Zu studied it day and night, and even threw it into the world within the gourd, allowing the smaller human races to also study it.

To this end, he also used his magical powers to intercept the radiance of the sun and moon, and then blessed the sun and moon in the world within the pot, thus enabling small human races to also have the conditions to cultivate.

Finally, another small update to the Human version of "World in a Pot" was launched.

This version update wasn't done by Luo Zu himself, but he did use some methods indirectly, albeit unintentionally, since Luo Zu wasn't ready to carry out a version update yet.

Because of this method of worshipping the sun and moon for all living beings, a large number of cultivators who extracted the essence of heaven and earth to refine themselves appeared in the world within the pot. Later, a person named Cang was born, who combined the Qi refining method with the worship of the sun and moon for all living beings, and created a method of sacrificing and extracting the divine.

What is meant by "offering thoughts to the gods"? It means offering one's thoughts to the gods of heaven and earth, thereby obtaining the essence of the gods in the spiritual energy. Then, one can transform the essence of the gods into one's thoughts and into one's own true energy. By doing so, one can obtain more true energy than by absorbing spiritual energy.

Moreover, this true qi will possess the wonders of all the "gods" in heaven and earth, allowing one to cultivate different attributes.

Of course, it can also be directly transformed into pure Qi, preserving the practitioner's own nature.

Cang called this method "Food God and Enlightenment"!

Such a talent was unexpected by Luo Zu, so he shamelessly accepted the method of "Eating God and Understanding," and then gave himself a "time acceleration" to modify the method and adapt it to his own needs.

Luo Zu spent ten years within the world within the pot, and combined this with the wisdom of the elites among the small human race, to finally create the method for extracting and refining the essence of the sun.

However, the sun is too domineering. Even though it hangs high in the sky and is not far from the earth, only a ray of its light is enough to sustain the life of such a large area of ​​land for a day. Luo Zu only dares to take one ray of that ray, about one ten-thousandth. This is the result of his experiment in the world within the pot. If he took more, he would probably burn himself to death on the spot.

Just like now, Luo Zu only refined this wisp of solar essence, and he felt that he didn't need to meditate or practice qi cultivation for the rest of the day, and his physical fitness was also slightly improved as a result.

No wonder those wild beasts could be awakened and gained intelligence; this wisp of solar essence was enough, but if you added the lunar essence...

However, the demon race cannot endlessly cultivate the Great Law of Worshipping the Sun and Moon for all living beings; otherwise, in addition to the risk of their physical bodies being bursting, they may also be "locked up" by the Sun and Moon.

What is meant by "locking accounts"? It is a measure taken by the powerful demon race who control the heavens to prevent other powerful beings in the primordial world from exploiting their spread of the Great Law of worshipping the sun and moon and then exploiting them. Therefore, the powerful demon race strictly controls the extraction and refining of the essence of the sun and moon by each demon race in each region. If it is determined that a powerful being from the primordial world is secretly causing trouble, the demon gods of the demon race will probably come to demand an explanation.

But Luo Zu had a good idea. He had a world within a pot, and there were so many small human races in that world. So he could use them to attract the essence of the sun and moon, and then, as the master of the world within the pot, he could take a share from it. Not much, just thirty percent would be fine. In this way...

Since the number of people who extract the essence of the sun and moon is indeed that many, the powerful demons should not be aware of the schemes set up by the magic barriers.

Of course, Luo Zu will not implement this plan at present. After all, he is currently only able to absorb one ten-thousandth of the essence of the sun, so there is really no need to "steal" like this. No, how can a cultivator's absorption of yin to replenish yang be called stealing? This is all for the sake of cultivation!

Moreover, to implement this method, we must first conduct experiments step by step, starting with ten people, then a hundred, and finally a thousand or ten thousand. If there are no abnormalities, then we should not be polite to the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race.

After consuming Cangxia, Luo Zu exhaled another breath of true qi, which landed on the large sword standing in front of him.

This greatsword, which resembles a door panel, now has a name: Juque!

The famous sword I heard about in my past life was just like this sword—heavy, but blunt. Luo Zu's sword is heavy yet incredibly sharp. Borrowing the name Ju Que will certainly not tarnish the reputation of that name.

In addition, Luo Zu also wrote two crooked Chinese characters on the blade of Ju Que: Ju Que!

The pure, ethereal Qi, tinged with a faint purple glow, circulated once on the giant tower before finally returning to Luo Zu. In this one cycle, the Qi decreased by thirty percent.

This 30% was absorbed by the magical restrictions within the Giant Sword.

Luo Zu now defines magical artifacts in this way, dividing them into three levels: first, magical artifacts; second, magical treasures; and third, spiritual treasures.

Ritual implements are divided into three grades: superior, middle, and inferior, which are used by those who are not yet true immortals.

Luo Zu neither possessed nor discovered any magical or spiritual treasures, so for the time being, they were divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower.

How are ritual implements classified? It depends on the number of incantations within them. Those with eighteen or fewer incantations are classified as low grade, those with eighteen to thirty-six incantations are classified as medium grade, and those with thirty-six to seventy-two incantations are classified as high grade.

Currently, the Great Sword only has one magical restriction.

To refine the magic seal, one must inscribe runes with true qi. Luo Zu is currently using cursive Chinese characters as runes. Although modern Chinese characters are not as mysterious as witchcraft script, they are different after Luo Zu's true qi is added, and they are sufficient to perform the function of magic seal runes.

Moreover, the most important part of the forbidden spells is not in the runes, but in the spirit and magic of the practitioner.
