Chapter 138 The Mark of the Chaos Demon God
"Very good, this lotus seed has matured at just the right time."
At the center of Penglai Island, Feng Zichen looked at the lotus seed, shrouded in divine light, on the Twelfth-Grade Pure World White Lotus and couldn't help but smile.
When Xuanqing took human form, the Qi of Creation and the innate pure Qi descended, absorbed by the Twelfth-Grade Pure World White Lotus, forming this lotus seed.
It embodies the power of creation, purity, and purification, giving rise to profound changes, its potential sublimated, far surpassing other lotus seeds. If properly nurtured, it could undoubtedly become a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.
Unfortunately, both the Chaos Pearl and the World Tree are major treasure-devourers; Feng Zichen already struggled to nurture them, and had no power to nurture this lotus seed.
In his hands, it could at most become a high-grade innate spiritual treasure.
But giving it to Ao Xue would be different. The Dragon Clan had dominated the prehistoric world for many years, possessing incredibly deep resources; they could definitely nurture it into a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.
Thus, with a top-grade innate spiritual treasure protecting Ao Xue, Feng Zichen could rest assured.
"Fortunately, when Xuan Qing went to Kunlun Mountain, this lotus seed wasn't mature yet, so he left the twelfth-grade Creation White Lotus behind."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to find a suitable treasure for Ao Xue in a short time, and it would have been embarrassing to go to the Dragon Palace empty-handed."
Thinking this, Feng Zichen acted swiftly, walking to the Pure World White Lotus and plucking the lotus seed.
However, after plucking the seed, he didn't leave but continued forward, arriving at the bottom of the Chaos Spirit Pool.
There, a Chaos Spirit Spring continuously gushed forth chaotic primordial energy; the Three Immortal Islands' extraordinary nature owed much to this spring.
Around this spring were pieces of dark jade, shimmering with precious light, swirling with chaotic primordial energy. These were Chaos Primordial Stones, formed from the condensation of chaotic primordial energy, and the very reason Feng Zichen had come here.
The Water Dragon Lord had attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and Feng Zichen, as his friend, couldn't possibly go to the Dragon Palace empty-handed!
Furthermore, the Ancestral Dragon had been of great help to him, and he would certainly pay his respects upon his arrival; it wouldn't be appropriate to go empty-handed.
Of course, while a Chaos Stone was not bad, the Ancestral Dragon was a figure of immense stature, and such a stone would hardly catch his eye. Therefore, Feng Zichen took out the Primordial Dao Bell and gently struck it.
"Clang!"
As the bell resounded, Primordial Qi surged forth from the bell, sweeping across all directions and submerging the entire Chaos Spirit Pool, resembling a vast, surging purple ocean.
"Roar!"
A mysterious roar resounded, a terrifying aura spreading outwards. From the ocean formed by the Primordial Qi, one enormous figure after another emerged, both terrifying and mysterious.
Upon closer inspection, there were three thousand figures, each with a unique form, radiating the divine essence of the Great Dao, and surrounded by a chaotic aura. They seemed to be the origins of all things, the source of the Great Dao, supremely noble.
These were the marks of the Chaos Demon Gods, imprinted on the Primordial Dao Bell, now manifested by Feng Zichen.
Boom! The moment they appeared, the heavens and earth trembled violently, the laws resonated in unison, as if in fear, the void itself shook, as if about to shatter and return to chaos.
"Condense!" Feng Zichen made a hand seal and pointed at the Primordial Qi.
Rumble!
The Primordial Qi surged, flowing into the marks of the Chaos Demon Gods. Before long, the marks of ten Chaos Demon Gods gradually became clear, their powerful aura spreading out, filling the heavens and earth.
Of these ten Chaos Demon Gods, five are imbued with the divine essence of the Five Elements Dao, representing the highest achievement of the Five Elements Dao and corresponding to the Dao of the Five Elements Sacred Beasts.
The other five Chaos Demon Gods, each in the form of a dragon, phoenix, unicorn, tiger, and tortoise, respectively, represent the true forms of the Great Dao, corresponding to the forms of the Five Elemental Beasts.
"Refine!"
With a wave of his sleeve, five Chaos Origin Stones flew up, and the phantoms of the ten Chaos Demon Gods, enveloped by primordial energy, paired off and imprinted onto the Chaos Origin Stones.
The Chaos Demon Gods are considered children of the Great Dao; the Dao they cultivate is incredibly ancient, the source of everything, completely different from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth circulating in the primordial world, making them far more powerful.
Feng Zichen intended to give each of these five Chaos Origin Stones, bearing the imprints of the Chaos Demon Gods, to one of the Five Elemental Beasts.
Although the Ancestral Dragons and others were incredibly powerful, the Chaos Demon Gods were no weaker, perhaps even stronger.
For them, aside from innate treasures, or the River Chart and Luo Book, the Four Great Lotus Platforms, and other top-grade innate spiritual treasures with special significance, there were few things in the primordial world that could move them.
But this item is different. The profound principles of the Great Dao contained within these Chaos Demons are ones they have never encountered before, distinct from the primordial world. They can provide them with endless inspiration and expand their own path of cultivation.
Treasures that can expand one's own path of cultivation are incomparably precious and can enhance one's strength. How could anyone refuse such a thing?
Moreover, for beings like the Ancestral Dragon who have already reached the pinnacle, every small step forward is incredibly difficult, so they would be even less likely to refuse this item.
After putting away the five Chaos Origin Stones, Feng Zichen summoned the Water Demon God's Mark again and, following the same method, forged another Chaos Origin Stone imprinted with the Water Demon God's Mark. This was a gift for the Water Dragon Lord!
Next, Feng Zichen took out the Pure World White Lotus Seed and imprinted the marks of the Pure World Demon God, the Creation Demon God, and the Pure Spirit Demon God onto the lotus seed.
"Phew! Finally done!" Feng Zichen said with a long sigh, looking slightly tired.
Maintaining the Chaos Demon God Mark for so long, even with his strength comparable to a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, had taken a toll, leaving him feeling exhausted.
After meditating in the Chaos Spirit Pool for several years, Feng Zichen gradually recovered, aided by the chaotic energy within.
"Let's go!" Opening his eyes, Feng Zichen's figure flashed, and he arrived at Yingzhou Island from Penglai Island.
Here, there was a grove of innate red jujube trees, which he had long wanted to transplant to Zichen Cave Heaven.
In the past, Feng Zichen's strength was weak, and he dared not transplant the innate red jujube trees to Zichen Cave Heaven, fearing that something might go wrong and damage their essence, greatly diminishing their efficacy.
Now, however, things were different. Feng Zichen was no longer the same; even if the innate red jujube trees were damaged, he had ways to repair them, and he no longer had the worries of the past.
After thinking for a moment, Feng Zichen waved his sleeve, and a gust of wind blew, uprooting half of the innate red jujube trees and storing them in the Chaos Pearl.
After all, the Three Immortal Islands were a sacred land for wandering immortals in later generations, so it was natural to have some treasures to show for it. Taking away all the Innate Red Jujube Trees would be unseemly, so Feng Zichen left half on the island.
After doing all this, Feng Zichen turned his gaze to the Chaos Pearl to check the current condition of the Innate Red Jujube Trees.
Suddenly separated from the land where they had grown for many years, the Innate Red Jujube Trees showed signs of withering.
However, Feng Zichen had already prepared for this.
