Hermit in the Mountains

Gu Changsheng was torn about what to do with the golden monkey.

The golden monkey carried too much karma from its past life, so he dared not touch it.

Leaving the golden monkeys in the Longevity Cave is like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.

Although Yang Xiaoshan and the golden monkey did not form a contract with the true spirit, they did form a contract with the divine soul.

Sending the golden monkey away wouldn't be appropriate, since it was Yang Xiaoshan's contracted spirit beast.

Just as Gu Changsheng was feeling agitated, the Pure World White Lotus trembled, emitting a Pure World Divine Light Disc to dispel his unease.

Clear-headed!

He activated his Myriad True Eyes once again, traversing space to look at Star River Island, his gaze landing on the golden monkey.

This time, he did not investigate the golden monkey's true spirit, but rather examined its cause and effect.

The thickest causal line connects to Yang Xiaoshan at the other end;

The thinner causal line connects to the fortune of the Longevity Sect at the other end.

Gu Changsheng activated his Myriad True Eyes with all his might to carefully observe the golden monkey's causal lines, but found no third causal line.

He wondered to himself, 'Could it be that the monkey abandoned all his cultivation, physical body, magical power, memories, fortune, merits, karma, and origins to reincarnate on Earth as a pure, true spirit?'

"If monkeys are reincarnated, then do those legendary powerful beings also reincarnate?"

Perhaps they have been reincarnated on Earth?

"Or perhaps they're observing the changes in this world from outside Earth?"

The more Gu Changsheng thought about it, the deeper his brows furrowed. The waters of Blue Star were deeper than he had imagined.

He recalled several times he had a premonition.

Is he someone else's pawn?

He shook his head, contradicting himself, "No, no."

If he were a pawn, he couldn't have forged two innate treasure embryos.

Lingxuzi's true form is also an innate treasure embryo.

Even a saint wouldn't have such a grand gesture.

He is more inclined to believe that the will of Heaven, Earth, and Man is driving and guiding him to develop the Blue Star cultivation civilization.

There are perhaps two possibilities for extraterrestrial beings entering Earth.

As Blue Star expands and its status rises, worlds of corresponding levels from beyond its domain merge into it, and the cultivation level of living beings cannot exceed the upper limit of Blue Star.

He abandoned everything and reincarnated as a true spirit on Earth to begin his cultivation anew.

This approach is extremely risky, and no one can guarantee that they will be able to grow and succeed.

The monkey chose the second method; its true spirit may be suppressed by heaven and earth and can only remain in a dormant state.

If he hadn't entered the Golden Monkey's True Spirit Space, he wouldn't have woken the other party up.

Gu Changsheng believed his speculation was the most reasonable; otherwise, if a Golden Immortal cultivator were to descend, the game would be over.

What puzzled him was why powerful beings like monkeys were reincarnated on Earth.

Is Earth really just an ordinary planet?

Is Blue Star the ancestral star of all realms mentioned in online novels?

The Pure White Lotus emitted a brilliant light, and a refreshing aura flowed into Gu Changsheng's heart.

He let out a long sigh of relief. "Let's meet force with force, and dam with water with water!"

All he could do was improve his cultivation as much as possible, accumulate more merit, and create a golden body for himself.

After nurturing the embryo of a supreme innate treasure with the Breaking Law Ruler, one must then accumulate merit.

Use it only if absolutely necessary.

The three tools for proving the Way, protecting the Way, and suppressing the Way must be acquired as soon as possible.

He feared that the upper limit of the spiritual treasure's grade would suddenly be locked by heaven and earth.

Even if Earth were to ascend to the same level as the Primordial World in the future, innate treasures would still be among the top tier of treasures.

The temple is hidden within the embryonic body of a supreme innate treasure, ensuring its own safety.

At worst, I can just drift in the void of Blue Star, collecting resources through the virtual myriad realms and cultivating silently.

After this meal, Gu Changsheng's unease completely dissipated.

He made up two plans in his mind.

Cultivation, accumulating merit, and prioritizing the nurturing of the Myriad Paths Pearl and the Fifth Elder's true form are the primary tasks.

After the spiritual energy tide ends, immediately upgrade the grade of the Breaking Law Ruler.

Having made a plan in mind, Gu Changsheng got up and returned to the master bedroom living room, where he sat cross-legged on a futon.

He calmed down and took stock of what he had gained from this trip, his mind entering the storage space of the Myriad Paths Pearl.

All the innate things were transformed into wisps of innate, indestructible primordial energy.

You can't have your cake and eat it too!

You can only choose one of the following: innate spiritual treasure embryo, innate spiritual root prototype, miniature innate spiritual vein, or innate undying primordial energy.

He chose the latter, which allows him to flexibly cultivate the treasures or spiritual roots that suit him best.

Currently, the embryonic form of innate spiritual treasures, the rudimentary form of innate spiritual roots, and the miniature innate spiritual veins have not yet truly taken shape and have not obtained the authority of the laws.

Otherwise, he would have no way to make it revert back to the innate, indestructible primordial energy.

Once the innate, indestructible spiritual light takes shape, it truly cannot be used as nourishment to cultivate other spiritual treasures.

Even if a finished innate spiritual treasure is broken, it can only be reforged and reshaped into a different form, but the root remains the same.

Because its innate immortal spiritual light is incomplete, the grade of the spiritual treasure will drop, and its power will no longer be what it once was.

After finishing his shopping and collecting his loot, Gu Changsheng also examined all the blind boxes that had been sent by various sects.

Among a bunch of strange and unusual objects, there was indeed an unexpected find.

He has an innate spiritual treasure embryo; his luck is truly heaven-defying.

He examined the black ore floating in front of him. Under the scrutiny of his Myriad True Eyes, he discovered that a spiritual treasure embryo was hidden inside the ore.

The jet-black ore has its own isolation and concealment functions, and is a protective layer derived from the embryonic form of spiritual treasure.

The jet-black ore is not an array, has no spiritual energy fluctuations, and is purely protected by physical means.

To outsiders, the jet-black ore looks like a rather hard rock.

The surface of the jet-black ore has fine scratches, which clearly shows that the original owner tried to chop and smelt it, but the result was that it was completely undamaged.

The innate spiritual treasure embryo within the pitch-black ore has stopped absorbing external spiritual energy, or rather, it is unable to absorb external spiritual energy to strengthen itself.

The jet-black ore is both a protection and a constraint.

Gu Changsheng raised his right hand and aimed it at the ore. Grayish-brown magic power flew out and enveloped the ore.

The power of decay begins to corrode the ore.

Spatial power is used to assist the drill bit.

Several hours later, a hole the size of a chopstick was chiseled into the seemingly indestructible ore.

The moment the black ore was opened, the innate spiritual treasure embryo inside emitted a suction force and began to absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world.

Gu Changsheng separated a wisp of his divine sense and sent it into the embryonic spirit treasure, completing the process of recognizing it as his master.

The innate spiritual treasure embryo transformed into a stream of light and flew out of the cave, hovering in front of him.

Information about the embryo of a primordial spiritual treasure appeared in his mind.

[Earthly Origin Cauldron: An embryonic spiritual treasure, containing thirteen nascent innate restrictions and the rudiments of the two great laws of defense and suppression. A wisp of innate Xuanhuang primordial energy permeates the cauldron, which, when activated, can unleash Xuanhuang energy to protect the body.]

The Earthly Cauldron is unremarkable in appearance, its entire body is dark yellow, and its four legs are like pillars supporting the sky, as heavy as Mount Tai.

Gu Changsheng controlled the Earthly Cauldron to float in his mouth and comprehend its abilities.

He dared not place the Earthly Cauldron on the ground. Although the words "as heavy as Mount Tai" were an exaggeration, it could still easily crush the white marble floor.

He estimated that someone at the peak of the Dao Miao realm might not be able to lift the Earth Origin Cauldron.

This is still in the embryonic stage. When it grows into a complete organism, its weight will be comparable to that of a sacred mountain.

The main features of the Earthly Cauldron are its durability and weight.

Why did Gu Changsheng marvel at his good fortune? He had always wanted to forge a powerful artifact, but he kept putting it off until now, and still hadn't found the right materials.

Now that we have the Earthly Cauldron, we don't need to worry about finding materials.
