Chapter 171 The First Generation Seed
"Your Majesty, how is this first generation seed different from ordinary seeds?"
Following behind Houtu, Feng Zichen asked with some doubt. Since the innate five-eared grain doesn't degenerate, the first generation seed should be no different from other seeds.
Why, judging from their tone, this first generation seed seems different again.
"That first generation seed is born of heaven and earth, possessing a trace of the profound mysteries of the Great Dao, with infinite possibilities. If it is nourished with innate spiritual objects, it will undergo wondrous changes."
"Come and see!"
Walking to a corner of the temple, Houtu waved her hand, and the void instantly changed, with a yellowish-brown light flashing.
A piece of land about an acre in size slowly appeared before Feng Zichen's eyes. It could be seen that the land was covered with innate five-eared grain.
However, unlike the outside world, the innate five-eared grain here was white, its fruit was also white, and it was surrounded by the essence of creation.
This formed a stark contrast to the innate five-eared grain surrounded by the five elements of Dao that had been seen outside.
"This is..."
Feng Zichen looked up at Houtu, a vague guess forming in his mind.
"This thing is called: Primordial Creation Grain!"
"After obtaining the Primordial Five-Eared Grain, in order to accelerate its growth, I planted it in the Land of Creation, using the power of creation to urge its growth."
"Unexpectedly, after absorbing a large amount of creation energy, the Primordial Five-Eared Grain underwent a mutation, transforming from a Five Elements attribute to a Creation attribute, becoming the Primordial Creation Grain." "
Afterwards, I conducted some experiments and discovered that the first generation seeds of the Primordial Five-Eared Grain have extremely strong adaptability. In different environments, they can grow into different young grains, which is quite miraculous." As
Houtu spoke, the temple changed again, and landmasses appeared one after another, covered with various colors of Primordial Five-Eared Grains.
Some emitted the Qi of Yi Wood, some emitted the Qi of Pure Yang, some emitted the Qi of Primordial Nature... There were as many as thirty-six kinds, making the temple filled with the innate Dao intent, like a Dao realm.
"Fellow Daoist, after so many years of consumption, I have few primordial seeds left. I only have nine left, so I'll give them all to you!"
Houtu said, handing a yellow jade box to Feng Zichen.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Hmm? The essence of primordial earth!?"
Taking the jade box, Feng Zichen was startled by the vast and profound aura it exuded. This jade box was entirely formed from the essence of primordial earth.
"Ancestral Witch, this is..."
Before Feng Zichen could finish speaking, Houtu interrupted,
"I'll also give you this piece of primordial earth essence. You can use it to enhance the earth veins within the human territory, improve the cultivation environment, and increase the concentration of primordial qi, making it easier for the primordial five-eared grain to grow."
"The primordial five-eared grain has extremely demanding environmental requirements. If the primordial qi is insufficient, it will absolutely not take root and sprout!"
"You must remember this!"
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty. I will remember it!" Opening the jade box, nine five-colored seeds lay quietly inside, covered with five-element Dao patterns, demonstrating the profound mysteries of the Great Dao.
Indeed, these were different from the Innate Five-Eared Fruits that Feng Zichen had consumed outside.
"Your Majesty, may I take some of these Innate Five-Eared Rice plants as seeds?" Looking at the various colors of the Innate Five-Eared Rice plants before her, Feng Zichen asked, somewhat tempted.
Bringing them back to the human race would undoubtedly cultivate countless geniuses and greatly enhance their strength. More importantly, this substance could strengthen the human race's foundation and prolong its destiny.
"Alright!" Houtu nodded indifferently.
This item had already been widely promoted and produced in large quantities within the Wu Clan, so she wouldn't mind giving all the innate five-eared grains in the area to Feng Zichen.
Knowing his limits, Feng Zichen stepped forward and picked only a hundred stalks of each type as seeds before stopping.
"Your Majesty, I have urgent business to attend to and must return to the Human Clan. If you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave." After doing all this, Feng Zichen bid farewell to Houtu.
The method of controlling spiritual treasures had been passed down, and the benefits were in his hands; there was no need for Feng Zichen to stay any longer. It was time to return to the Human Clan.
After all, he still had a lot of things to deal with!
The Floating Pagoda needed to be placed in the Nuwa Temple; otherwise, he would feel very uneasy keeping it. The innate five-eared fruit also needed to be distributed to various tribes of the Human Clan so that they could plant it and benefit the entire Human Clan as soon as possible.
Afterward, he also needed to visit the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Saints to prepare for his ascension to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
"Fellow Daoist, please don't be impatient. I still have some questions about the True Spirit Treasure Control Method and would like to ask you for guidance!" Seeing Feng Zichen about to leave, Houtu quickly stopped him.
"Ask for guidance?"
"Ancestral Witch, you flatter me!"
"Whatever you don't understand, just say it. Zichen will answer to the best of his knowledge!" Houtu was a highly skilled cultivator, one of the top experts in the prehistoric world. Asking him for guidance would be a laughing stock.
Moreover, at Houtu's level, she could grasp the basic principles of any technique or supernatural power with just a glance.
The True Spirit Treasure Control Method was merely a skill; how difficult could it be? It wouldn't be difficult for Houtu. Perhaps she had another purpose in asking him for guidance.
"Fellow Daoist, I observe that the True Spirit Treasure Control Method has a unique style and a self-contained system, yet it gives one a vague sense of incompleteness."
"It seems you, Fellow Daoist, possess a complete True Spirit cultivation method, don't you?"
Since obtaining the True Spirit Treasure Control Method, Houtu had a strange feeling, as if behind this method lay a cultivation path entirely different from the mainstream of the prehistoric world, hidden within.
This path might even influence the entire Wu Clan! And this thought grew stronger with time, which is why, as Feng Zichen was about to leave, Houtu finally couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty guessed correctly, I do indeed possess a complete True Spirit cultivation method," Feng Zichen replied, nodding. The True Spirit cultivation method Houtu spoke of was the cultivation method of the Divine Demon Path. The Divine Demon Path specializes in cultivating the True Spirit, not the Primordial Spirit.
Therefore, using the True Spirit to activate a spiritual treasure is like using the Primordial Spirit to activate a spiritual treasure—it's instinctive, requiring no further cultivation. The True Spirit Treasure Control Method was deduced by Feng Zichen based on this.
Therefore, it bears a trace of the Divine Demon Path, which is why Houtu noticed it.
"Fellow Daoist, may I borrow this method to take a look?" This method could very well be of great use to the Wu Clan, and Houtu, unable to hide her curiosity, asked him.
"It is possible."
"However, this method was created based on the human physique and may not be suitable for the Wu Clan." Feng Zichen had no reason to refuse this.
Not to mention the many benefits Houtu had given him, just passing on the Divine Demon Path would be entirely beneficial to him.
As the founder of the Divine Demon Path, the more prosperous the Divine Demon Path became, the more benefits he would receive.
