Chapter 113: Spiritual Treasure, Earth Emperor Primordial Spirit

Innate Spiritual Treasures were exceedingly rare, each one was born from great Fortune and contained the transformations of a Great Dao Dao Embryo.

In the Primordial World, there existed many Innate Spiritual Objects. These were defective items born from the failed evolution of Innate Spiritual Treasures, yet even these defective items were enough to cause many Postnatal Dao Masters to come to blows.

These Innate Spiritual Objects could be refined into Innate Treasures, or simply became Acquired spiritual treasures of great power.

Unable to conceal the excitement in his eyes, Lin Yuan flew towards this spiritual mountain.

The spiritual mountain teemed with life. From afar, Lin Yuan saw a group of little monsters, led by a big monster, training on a flat area halfway up the mountain.

A sharp voice also echoed through the mountain forest.

“Little ones, train well! Only by cultivating into a Demon King can we escape the persecution of those Witch Clan barbarians. This land originally belongs to us, the Yao Clan! No one can harm us!”

“That’s right! I heard many of Chief Boar’s sons and grandsons were eaten. It’s simply too tragic!”

“They bully us monsters too much!”

“We’ll listen to Chief Boar!”

“We must train diligently and defeat those brainless barbarians!”

“Eat them!”

A cacophony of angry and ferocious voices arose.

Monsters danced wildly; the scene was chaotic and foul.

A moment later, a soaring demonic aura erupted from the spiritual mountain, voraciously devouring the Innate Spiritual Qi of the Spiritual Mountain Blessed Land.

Lin Yuan revealed his figure within the forest. With a glance, he saw a short, stout boar monster with a red floral cloth tied around its neck on the platform, leading a group of little monsters in noisy drills, shouting commands and training hard.

His expression grew somewhat solemn. This place was already close to the fringes of the Human Race’s territory in the Southeastern Land. The number of witches and monsters had increased, making it perilous.

Lin Yuan’s powerful Innate Spiritual Awareness enveloped this spiritual mountain. The Inner Scene Earth Gate within his body transformed into a stream of light that landed at his feet. Activating the Earth Immortal Mystic Art, Lin Yuan roughly ascertained the true nature of the spiritual mountain.

Falling into brief thought, a faint golden light shimmered around him. Lin Yuan transformed into a stream of light and sank into the ground beneath his feet, silently infiltrating deeper into the spiritual mountain.

Having cultivated the Inner Scene Earth Gate, if nothing else, Lin Yuan’s earth-traveling technique was top-notch.

After a dozen breaths, the traveling light flashed, tearing through layers of greenish demonic light. Lin Yuan’s figure appeared in a cave within the mountain’s belly.

Looking around, this cave was huge and interconnected in all directions.

This place was likely located deep within the Spiritual Aperture of this mountain range. The Innate Spiritual Qi was incredibly dense. According to the insights Lin Yuan gained through his Earth Immortal Method, the place where the Innate Spiritual Treasure was gestating lay deep within the Spiritual Aperture of this mountain range.

However, in Lin Yuan’s view, numerous strange restrictions appeared before his eyes, filling the Spiritual Aperture. If he rashly barged in, he might alert the being who set these restrictions.

A hint of vigilance arose in Lin Yuan’s heart. It seemed this Innate Spiritual Treasure was not unowned.

Still, through the powerful sensing ability of his Innate Spiritual Root, Lin Yuan did not perceive any dangerous aura within these interconnected caverns and Spiritual Apertures.

Lin Yuan’s figure appeared in a stone chamber. The chamber was decorated like a splendid palace, and Lin Yuan saw many strange writings.

These writings were crooked and twisted, yet carried an extremely peculiar, ink-green energy, exceedingly tricky and bizarre.

They resembled ancient cloud script or Primordial Thunder Script, but they were not the Wu Script from Lin Yuan’s memory!

“Demon Script?”

After a moment’s thought, Lin Yuan’s expression changed slightly.

Demon Script was a writing system created by an extremely terrifying Primordial Ancient Deity from the Demon God Lineage.

Similar to Wu Script, this script evolved from the Primordial True Script.

From what Lin Yuan knew, Demon Script was not common. Only offspring from major clans could master such complex and profound Yao Clan writing.

All around this cave dwelling, numerous Demon Script characters were engraved.

Moreover, to Lin Yuan’s eyes, each Demon Script character even formed various mysterious restrictions. This was not something ordinary monsters could achieve.

These Demon Script characters were engraved throughout the cave dwelling, many placed in extremely hidden locations. Clearly, the Yao Clan member who set the Demon Script restrictions was not only extremely cautious but also very meticulous and cunning.

For an ordinary cultivator, even one with great cultivation, entering this cave dwelling would make every step difficult, and their traces would likely be discovered quickly.

Lin Yuan swept his gaze around. A wisp of Innate Yin-Yang Profound Light appeared in his hand. Scattered, faint, drifting motes of light fell onto the nearby restrictions, effortlessly penetrating a portion of the Demon Script restrictions, causing them to stagnate and temporarily lose their effect.

A faint smile appeared in his expression as his figure transformed into a stream of light and quietly passed through.

The cave within this Spiritual Aperture was extremely long, twisting and turning, with many interlinked ‘mother-child’ restrictions inside, where triggering one set off the rest. Lin Yuan followed that faintly sensed aura.

Half an hour later, his figure appeared in a cave filled with jagged, strange rocks.

Here, the Innate Spiritual Qi was so dense it had almost liquified.

A small pool of Innate Spiritual Qi had even formed beneath the cave. Lin Yuan’s Primordial Spirit trembled repeatedly, an inexplicable aura faintly resonating with him.

That was a Primordial aura, also the aura of a gestating Great Dao Dao Embryo!

“Innate Spiritual Treasure!”

His heart was certain.

Lin Yuan looked over. It was an Innate Spiritual Pearl radiating myriad lights, emanating an aura that suppressed the earth, like an incarnation of innate earth energy.

“Could it be the Earth Spirit Pearl among the Innate Five Elements Spirit Pearls?”

Lin Yuan pondered inwardly, secretly pleased.

He had cleared countless Spiritual Veins and spiritual mountains, and even founded the Earth Immortal Lineage. Reasonably, he should have some connection with this Earth Spirit Pearl.

In fact, Lin Yuan could clearly sense his own aura subtly harmonizing with this Innate Spiritual Pearl; he was one of its fated individuals.

However, carefully sensing the aura emitted by the Innate Spiritual Pearl, a strand of information gradually flowed into his mind. Lin Yuan’s expression momentarily froze.

This time, he had guessed wrong.

This was not the Earth Spirit Pearl among the Innate Five Elements Spirit Pearls.

It was the Earth-Sundering Pearl, a legacy treasure of the Earth Emperor!

This Innate Spiritual Treasure was a precious one gestated in response to the Earth Emperor’s Great Vow.

And it contained a fragment of the Earth Emperor Primordial Spirit!

Over the years, Lin Yuan had cleared the large and small Spiritual Veins and spiritual mountains around the Tongtian River, unintentionally aligning with the Earth Emperor’s Great Vow. Thus, he formed a slight connection with this Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Currently, this Innate Spiritual Treasure was still in the process of gestation. It would require at least another thousand years to emerge.

Lin Yuan stood in place, masking the joy in his eyes. He did not intend to interrupt the gestation of this Innate Spiritual Treasure.

The emergence of an Innate Spiritual Treasure followed its own predetermined course. If its gestation was rashly interrupted, it could cause the treasure’s rank to drop.

In the Primordial World, Innate Spiritual Treasures were extremely scarce, while Innate Spiritual Objects were more numerous. Many Innate Spiritual Treasures suffered from insufficient Fortune, had their gestation interrupted by various accidents, or were extracted early by witches or monsters.

This resulted in the Innate Spiritual Treasure’s grade being incomplete.

A defective-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure and a complete one were worlds apart!

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment. Fortunately, this Innate Spiritual Treasure had some connection with him and did not repel him. Lin Yuan simply decided to spend the next period of time here, until he returned to the Main World.

Or perhaps, until the Innate Spiritual Treasure matured and emerged.

For him, an Innate Spiritual Treasure was far too precious!
