King of Creation
Chapter 1285: Chapter 1270: Innate Spiritual Object
Ye Zhen’s gaze was fixed intently on the high-grade thunder attribute spirit stones that emitted a ghostly light in the deepest part of Kui Niu Cave!
Compared to the five attribute spirit stones, thunder attribute spirit stones are even rarer and more valuable!
Usually, an ordinary low grade thunder attribute spirit stone is priced similarly to a low grade thought spirit pill.
But a mid-grade thunder attribute spirit stone, when it appears, becomes a highly contested treasure at auctions.
Yet here, the thunder attribute spirit stones densely packed are all high-grade spirit stones, and the number is at least over ten thousand. Furthermore, within Ye Zhen’s divine sense, a few are the exceedingly rare supreme thunder attribute spirit stones.
However, more precious than these is the spot where Kui Niu’s saliva dripped as it slept.
There, several high-grade attribute spirit stones have been soaked in Kui Niu’s saliva for years, and the aura tempered within them makes them seem like utterly transparent spirit jade.
Visible to the naked eye is the lightning flickering within, along with the Kui Niu’s origin aura accumulated over the years. This origin aura contains a vast amount of dao pattern power, which, with a little concentration, can condense countless thunder dao patterns!
This kind of item is called Thunder Spirit Beads, an extremely precious material for artifact refining. Once these appear, not only Divine Communication Realm martial artists, but even those at the Dark Palace Realm, would fight to the death for them.
Why? Because with these Thunder Spirit Beads, combined with a few heavenly materials and earthly treasures, slightly refined, and infused into a thunder element beast’s divine soul, they can freshly produce an acquired spiritual treasure!
An acquired spiritual treasure, indeed.
The Thunder Light Pearl Ye Zhen has is an acquired spiritual treasure.
But clearly, Ye Zhen’s Thunder Light Pearl, although refined into an acquired spiritual treasure, is of lesser quality compared to even the worst of the six Thunder Spirit Beads before him.
In other words, Ye Zhen has already acquired the primary materials for refining six acquired spiritual treasures!
Almost bloodshot with greed, Ye Zhen swept the over ten thousand high-grade thunder attribute spirit stones in Kui Niu Cave clean. He also took all six Thunder Spirit Beads, which could be refined into acquired spiritual treasures.
At this moment, Ye Zhen had only one thought: to strike it rich!
This time, it was indeed a windfall!
After being scavenged by Ye Zhen, the entire Kui Niu Cave only had left a four-meter-long, purplish-black vine with four segments.
This vine, at first glance, looked plain black, but upon closer inspection, one would see countless hair-like thunder light glistening on its surface, and the patterns growing on the vine were incredibly complex and mysterious.
The vine tip breathed heavily, spewing out waves of thunderous aura, the massive thunderous aura gradually falling to the ground and condensing into countless tiny thunder crystals.
Instantly, Ye Zhen understood where the over ten thousand high-grade thunder attribute spirit stones came from.
They were spouted by this Thunder Vine, and looking at this, if it remained undiscovered, those attribute spirit stones might have all been upgraded to supreme attribute spirit stones.
Instinctively, Ye Zhen’s divine sense explored further.
In an instant, Ye Zhen saw an impossibly vast Thunderclap Ocean, the sound of thunderclaps ceaselessly resounding, countless thunders booming incessantly in the Thunderclap Ocean.
In the booming thunder, countless Thunderclap Dao Patterns shattered, only to condense anew.
Upon detecting the intrusion of a divine sense, billions of thunderbolts simultaneously struck towards Ye Zhen’s probing divine sense!
Bang!
Ye Zhen’s probing divine sense was instantly shattered, and a thread of Thunderclap Power even followed Ye Zhen’s divine sense and struck straight into Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace.
If not for the acquired spiritual treasure Thunder Light Pearl on the Thunder Spirit Pillar in Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace flying out in time, absorbing most of the invading thunder, Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace would have been directly shattered by this thunder strike.
Even so, Ye Zhen was still spitting blood wildly from his mouth.
"Achou, what is this thing?" Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Ye Zhen instinctively looked at the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou, perched on his shoulder, whose peculiar eyes had been locked on the Thunder Vine since they first entered.
"This thing...it’s a great treasure that can transform a pushover into someone who can push others around. Unfortunately, it’s just too immature..." Achou murmured.
"Cut the crap, just say it, what exactly is it?" Ye Zhen snorted discontentedly, and hundreds of fine vine whips driven by little demons surged from his shoulder, menacingly enveloping Achou.
"An innate spiritual treasure! An innate spiritual treasure that countless martial arts greats could only dream of!" Achou spoke, yet his arched body deflated like a punctured ball.
"Alas, this is an undeveloped innate spiritual treasure, barely just born. Like that Kui Niu, it hasn’t even weaned yet."
"However, it’s fortunate it’s not a true innate spiritual treasure. If it were, Lord Ye, you’d be reduced to ash, and I’d be left in this godforsaken place to wither in solitude, awaiting the arrival of the next master!" said the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou.
Ye Zhen was taken aback, his mind feeling as though tens of thousands of land dragons had trampled through, immediately surfacing the records of innate spiritual treasures from the Mystic Sky Refining Technique in his mind.
Born of heaven and earth, immensely powerful, only subduable by those with great divine power!
"I remember, in ancient times, there was an Innate Spiritual Treasure called the Thunder God’s Whip, quite similar to this thing. However, that Thunder God’s Whip had nine segments, while this Thunder Spirit Vine before us has only four!" Achou murmured.
The Innate Spiritual Treasure Thunder God’s Whip was recorded in an ancient book that Ye Zhen had read, described as a whip capable of smashing those Little Worlds into pieces.
It was said to have nine segments, with the first segment growing in one year, the second in ten years, the third in a hundred years, the fourth in a thousand years, the fifth in ten thousand years... and only after a hundred million years could it nurture into the Innate Spiritual Treasure Thunder God’s Whip.
According to this legend, the Thunder Spirit Vine Achou mentioned hadn’t fully developed, which was indeed true!
The fourth segment in a thousand years, which was similar to Achou’s prior estimation of Kui Niu’s age.
Compared to its full growth time, this segment of Thunder Spirit Vine had only grown to one ten-thousandth of its potential, akin to a newborn baby just a few days old.
"What’s the best way to handle this thing?" Ye Zhen turned his gaze towards Achou.
Although the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou was unreliable, his knowledge was undoubtedly remarkable!
Ye Zhen’s Mystic Sky Refining Technique was mysterious, but regarding the Innate Spiritual Treasures, there were only a few words recorded, with no real experience.
So, Ye Zhen chose to consult Achou.
"Two choices!" Achou said.
"Speak!"
"The first choice, display your divine prowess to eliminate the group of gray grandchildren outside, along with the Kui Niu, then, while this thing hasn’t matured, imprint your Divine Soul Imprint, seal it here completely again, and wait for ninety-nine million nine-hundred and ninety-nine thousand years, and you will acquire a true Innate Spiritual Treasure!"
Achou said solemnly but hadn’t finished when Ye Zhen punched him on the head.
A hundred million years, what a joke!
From birth until now, Ye Zhen was only in his twenties, a hundred million years was simply unimaginably distant, and whether Ye Zhen could live that long was uncertain.
Even if Ye Zhen could live that long, once this Innate Spiritual Object was known to the world, it would bring storm and bloodshed.
Definitely not something Ye Zhen could keep!
"Speak seriously if you don’t want to get hit!"
Achou innocently rolled his eyes, "If there’s a Grand Formation arranged with a Secret Technique for acceleration, I have the confidence to shorten its growth time by a hundredfold!"
"That would still be a million years; whether I can live that long is uncertain. Tell me the second choice!" Ye Zhen replied irritably.
In essence, a million years and a hundred million years were no different in Ye Zhen’s eyes, both were too lengthy!
"The second choice is simpler, just kill it here, let your Acquired Spirit Treasure Thunder Light Pearl devour it, which would definitely rapidly promote it from its current low-grade quality to a high-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure.
Its destructive power would increase several folds, and in the future, it could possibly advance to an Innate Spiritual Treasure!" Achou stated.
Ye Zhen’s eyes immediately brightened, "A possibility to advance to an Innate Spiritual Treasure? How big is the chance?"
"Uh, one ten-thousandth......"
Bam!
Before Achou finished speaking, Ye Zhen punched the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit away and then scrutinized the Thunder Spirit Vine.
A few breaths later, under Ye Zhen’s control, the Acquired Spirit Treasure Thunder Light Pearl flew out from Ye Zhen’s Mansion. At the sight of the Thunder Spirit Vine, the Thunder Light Pearl let out a shrill cry of fear, eager to retreat back into Ye Zhen.
With Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense comfort and repeatedly assuring the Thunder Light Pearl’s Artifact Soul that this was just a juvenile, akin to a newborn in the human world.
It hadn’t even developed an Artifact Soul, only having a simple consciousness.
In an instant, thunder shot from the surface of the Thunder Light Pearl, and the core Origin Dao Pattern of the Thunder Light Pearl burst brightly in a flash.
A few breaths later, a mass of thunderous radiance emitted from the Thunder Light Pearl’s surface, slowly wrapping around the tip of the Thunder Spirit Vine. Countless mysterious glows appeared on the core Origin Dao Pattern of the Thunder Light Pearl, beginning to slowly devour the origin power of the Thunder Spirit Vine.
Seemingly aware of the invading external force, the Thunder Sea within the Thunder Spirit Vine stirred a consciousness, instinctively focusing massive amounts of Thunderclap Power to counter.
But at this very moment, with the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou’s guidance, who had been watching the internal change of the Thunder Spirit Vine, Ye Zhen was directed to a specific location.
Instantly, with his eyes wide open, Ye Zhen’s dark crimson Soul Refining Divine Light accurately struck at the location indicated by the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou.
The simple consciousness within the Thunder Spirit Vine let out a mournful cry, evaporating in an instant. The originally vibrant Innate Spiritual Object Thunder Spirit Vine immediately lost all its spirit, leaving only the purest energy!
In the next instant, Ye Zhen’s Acquired Spirit Treasure Thunder Light Pearl let out a cheer, with thunder flashing all around, rapidly and voraciously devouring the Innate Spiritual Object Thunder Spirit Vine!
