Chapter 8: The Origin of Creation Pool, the Shock of the Three Ancestors of the Human Race, and the Journey Out!
The Wind Control Minor Divine Art, like the Heaven Eating Minor Divine Art, is one of the seventy-two top-level minor divine arts taught by Daoist Ancestor Hongjun in Zixiao Palace. Once unleashed, it's enough to control the myriad winds of the vast wilderness. It's a speed-enhancing minor divine art, extremely useful for both travel and combat.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Xuantian keenly noticed that the spiritual energy within the small-blessed heaven was significantly thinner than before. This was normal. The human race now possessed fundamental cultivation methods and the Heaven Eating Minor Divine Art, resulting in an astonishing consumption of energy for the entire race.
Most importantly, the population was also skyrocketing. Xuantian estimated that the maximum capacity of a small cave heaven was approximately ten million humans.
Fortunately, the system had also awarded him a medium-sized blessed heaven, its area far exceeding that of a small-blessed heaven by a thousand times. The upper limit for the number of humans it could support could reach a billion, or even tens of billions.
Furthermore, the treasures within were equally astonishing.
For a moment, Xuantian was tempted, but he quickly calmed down. The human race was still multiplying at an astonishing rate, and his own strength was similarly surging. Once the human population reached the upper limit of this small-blessed heaven, not only would he receive system rewards, but his own strength would also significantly increase. Then, it wouldn't be too late to explore the medium-sized blessed heaven!
The prehistoric world was treacherous, and always, a little caution was a good strategy. With this in mind, Xuantian passed on the Wind Control Minor Divine Ability and immersed himself once again in cultivation.
There wasn't a significant bottleneck between the Golden Immortal Realm and the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm. It primarily depended on accumulating spiritual energy within the body and then concentrating one of the five energies within the chest. This would naturally lead to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.
Within this blessed heaven, there lies the spiritual root of a Gengjin apple tree. The Gengjin apples it produces contain the very essence of Gengjin. Xuantian immediately swallowed the Gengjin apple, condensing the essence of gold within him.
The sharp aura emanating from his body grew increasingly terrifying. Simultaneously, the combined strength of his entire clan's cultivation strengthened him, allowing his mana to transform at an astonishing rate.
Furthermore, the entire clan comprehended the minor magical powers of controlling wind and eating heaven.
Constantly, a vast amount of insights surfaced within Xuantian's mind, causing his understanding of these two minor magical powers to increase at an astonishing rate.
Time flies after thousands of years!
[Ding Dong, the clan's population has reached tens of millions. Congratulations, host, you have received the reward — the Origin of Creation Pool.]
One day, as Xuantian was immersed in his cultivation, a crisp notification chimed in his mind, startling him. At this point, he had united the entire clan's efforts in cultivation, and his primordial spirit had surprisingly ascended to the perfect level of the Golden Immortal Realm.
His magical power was imbued with the sharp power of gold, and when he activated the Gengjin Star Halberd, the power he unleashed was a hundred times greater than before!
Furthermore, he had also mastered two minor magical powers, Wind Control and Heaven Eating. These were the pinnacles of prehistoric minor magical powers, difficult for even ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortals to comprehend even to a minor degree!
Xuantian himself was impressed by the fact that even a Taiyi Golden Immortal would struggle to catch up to his mastery of Wind Control at a full level!
However, what truly surprised him was the system's reward. According to the information in his mind, this Origin of Creation Pool is surprisingly a prehistoric treasure!
You know, every treasure in the prehistoric world possesses an extremely powerful ability!
During the Investiture of Gods Tribulation, Xiao Sheng's Falling Treasure Coin, said to be able to drop anything less than the most powerful treasure, even the Twenty-Four Dinghai Divine Pearls in Zhao Gongming's hands.
The Heavenly Celebration Clouds, embodied by the righteous energy within the heart of the great god Pangu, were neither innate nor acquired. In terms of defense, it's probably second only to the Chaos Bell and the Xuanhuang Pagoda.
The God-Slaying Spear, a thirty-sixth-grade Chaos Blue Lotus root, evolved from a mixture of chaotic turbidity and malevolent energy, can injure a saint, its killing power comparable to that of an innate treasure!
Clearly, every treasure was incredibly powerful, and the Origin of Creation Pool's function is simple: to defy the innate!
"Hiss!"
Even Xuantian, with his temper, couldn't help but gasp.
The fate of all living beings is predetermined by nature. In the prehistoric world, the only entity capable of defying the innate fate seems to be the Qiankun Ding in the hands of Daoist Ancestor Hongjun.
Beyond the three thousand innate humans created by Nuwa, the rest of the prehistoric human race are merely acquired beings, descended from the innate race. Even if their numbers were greater, the improvement to their fate would be negligible.
However, if all acquired beings could be elevated to the level of innate beings, the resulting improvement would be monstrous! It's no exaggeration to say that if the fate of tens of millions of innate beings were combined, they could potentially transform directly into a top-tier innate divine fate—the fate of a saint!
Of course, such a heaven-defying Origin of Creation Pool naturally has its limitations: the amount of creation source it holds. Once depleted, it takes time to regenerate. Each batch can only transform approximately a hundred innate beings, and then a century is needed to restore the source.
Xuantian completely agreed with this. After all, if there were no limits, the creation source pool would be too heaven-defying. Moreover, in the prehistoric world, time was inherently worthless!
Buzz!
With a thought, Xuantian's mind shifted, and a bathing pool, like a pool of jade, lingering with a rich aura of the origin of creation, roughly a hundred meters in radius, evolved.
This was the Origin of Creation Pool rewarded by the system.
He then summoned the human race.
Of course, with tens of millions of humans scattered across blessed lands, as the clan leader, he naturally didn't need to be meticulous, passing on the fundamental cultivation methods of the human race.
Many of the human race had already emerged, and among them, the fastest in cultivation were three: Suiren, Youchao, and Ziyi. Clearly, these were the future three ancestors of the human race.
Following Xuantian's call, the three soon arrived. Upon seeing the Origin Pool of Creation and learning of the treasure's power, the three future ancestors of humanity were filled with expressions of utter shock.
Rebelling against the innate, allowing the acquired human race to revolt and become the innate, the shock their patriarch had brought was simply too overwhelming.
Such a treasure might not be of much use to the myriad races of the prehistoric world, after all, they were all descended from the innate. However, for humanity, it was a truly precious treasure.
"This Origin Pool of Creation can transform one hundred acquired humans every hundred years. You may choose yourselves. I wish to travel,"
Xuantian said calmly, not mentioning the shock of the three future ancestors.
At this time, as the human race multiplied and its numbers reached tens of millions, the spiritual energy of the entire blessed land had become visibly thinner. Finding the larger, medium-sized blessed land awarded by the system as a new habitat for humanity was now a matter of urgency.
After giving him some careful instructions, Xuantian did not stop and used his great Wind Controlling Divine Ability. In a flash, he disappeared from the spot.
