Chapter 14: Collecting Pangu Jade Marrow and Descending the Mountain
A sudden realization, like a thunderclap from chaos, swept through the consciousness of the Longevity Lord, instantly making him understand the nature of what lay before him—
Pangu Chalcedony!
According to legend, the great god Pangu created the world and died from exhaustion. His spine transformed into Mount Buzhou, which supports the sky and the earth.
Within its spine lies the most core and refined part: the origin of life, the essence of power, and the supreme will that created the world.
After countless cycles of sedimentation, compression, and condensation, it did not completely disperse into the world to nourish all things, but rather, by chance, it was released.
Under the combined influence of favorable timing, location, and the lingering will of Pangu, this supreme treasure was condensed and formed at the very core of Buzhou Mountain!
This is the true legacy of the Father God, the most precious and original gift left by the Great God Pangu in the primordial world!
The power it contains is no longer ordinary spiritual energy or fragments of laws, but the essence of the most fundamental "power", containing the seed of supreme power that created the world.
It also possesses the incredible ability to nourish the origin of all things, reshape one's foundation, temper the primordial spirit and will, and enlighten the root of the Great Dao!
Its value far surpasses that of ordinary innate spiritual treasures, and it is even enough to make the legendary innate supreme treasures pale in comparison.
It is a priceless treasure that is unique in the entire primordial world!
If this news were to leak even slightly, it would be enough to trigger a complete frenzy and a desperate struggle among all the innate gods and demons, and could even unleash a cataclysmic disaster that would sweep across the entire prehistoric world!
Lord Wanshou's heart began to pound uncontrollably, and his breathing became rapid. He suppressed his excitement and shock, and his eyes instantly became extremely solemn and cautious.
He knew that this item was of great importance, involving the Father God Pangu, and that there could be no mistakes whatsoever. The process of obtaining it had to be absolutely foolproof.
The most miraculous aspect of this Pangu Jade Marrow lies in the fact that it is formed from the life essence of Pangu, the origin of all things in the primordial world.
In the primordial world, all things, whether majestic mountains and rushing rivers, birds and beasts, or innate deities and acquired spirits, all originated from Pangu.
Therefore, this chalcedony is not an external object for any native creature in the primordial world, but rather a source of power from the same origin, possessing unparalleled compatibility!
Regardless of the path one cultivates, absorbing this jade marrow will allow for perfect integration without any risk of rejection. Instead, it will manifest different miraculous effects depending on one's own foundation and the direction of the path one cultivates.
It may greatly strengthen the foundation of the physical body, condense and sublimate the essence of the primordial spirit, or enhance the potential of one's foundation.
It may deepen one's understanding of the Great Dao one cultivates, or even help one break through cultivation bottlenecks and directly point to the origin of the Great Dao! This is a truly omnipotent sacred object!
He could absorb the power right there and then, and with this supreme treasure, he might be able to immediately advance his newly broken-through physical body or magical power, or even glimpse the secrets of a higher realm. However, his mind raced, and he made a decision in an instant.
These treasures, while having a great effect on him, are of even greater significance and importance to Zhen Yuanzi himself!
They were originally one, sharing both glory and hardship, their paths intertwined. The original body was formed from the essence of primordial earth, possessing a profound foundation and immense potential. Although its current cultivation level is slightly lower than that of this avatar due to different focuses in its cultivation, it is the foundation of its future path.
If one can be nourished by this Pangu Origin Jade Marrow, one's foundation will be polished to be incomparably strong, one's foundation will be unimaginably deep, one's future cultivation path will be more open and smooth, and one's potential will be limitless!
This concerns their overall, long-term future!
Moreover, since this object was absorbed by the main body at the core of the innate earth-guarding formation in Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, it can be better planned and utilized in a more comprehensive and safer manner with the help of the Earth Book.
This avoids any potential energy discrepancies or waste that might occur if his clone uses the energy first. As for himself, he has already gained a great deal from this ascent of Mount Buzhou.
With the blessing of good fortune, his physical body and magical power have both broken through, and he has also comprehended countless initial insights into the Great Dao. He needs enough time to settle, digest, and consolidate these insights.
Trying to do too much at once will only lead to failure. If we rush to absorb the jade marrow now, it may affect our already near-perfect Dao foundation, resulting in more harm than good.
Having made up her mind, Wanshou Yuanjun became increasingly cautious in her actions.
He first carefully observed the boulder containing the jade marrow and found that its hardness far exceeded his imagination. It was almost an integral part of the entire Buzhou Mountain and was indestructible.
Furthermore, there is a natural protective barrier formed by the remnants of Pangu's will. If it is forcibly broken, it will inevitably suffer a terrifying backlash. Not only will the person be seriously injured, but it is also very likely to damage the precious jade marrow itself, causing it to lose its spirituality. That is a loss that cannot be tolerated.
He pondered for a moment, then sat down cross-legged again, facing the boulder.
With his hands forming profound hand seals, he was not using offensive or destructive techniques, but rather using the immense fortune he had just received from Pangu and the heavens and earth as a guide, and the "True Scripture of Yi Wood" to slowly infuse the pure and peaceful life force of Yi Wood into the interior of the giant rock.
At the same time, he adjusted his own spiritual fluctuations to resonate as harmoniously as possible with the remaining will of Pangu around him, expressing that it was not plunder, but rather an act of goodwill and high respect to inherit the legacy of the Father God, continue his way, and protect the primordial world.
This process is extremely slow, requiring immense patience, precise control, and a profound understanding of Pangu's will.
The Lord of Longevity was highly focused, with fine beads of sweat even appearing on his forehead. His divine sense, like the softest feather, was carefully communicating and guiding the ancient and grand guardian will, conveying his own thoughts.
After an unknown amount of time, just as he felt his own fortune and the will of protection were about to merge into one, the indestructible core of the boulder finally emitted an extremely faint "crack" sound, like the first sigh at the beginning of the world.
It wasn't that the rocks shattered, but rather that the invisible protective will recognized him and proactively opened a tiny crack, as if opening a door for those of the same origin.
Wanshou Yuanjun dared not be negligent in the slightest. Suppressing her excitement, she immediately took out a blue jade bottle magic artifact that she had prepared in advance. It was made from the most essential branch of the ginseng fruit tree, supplemented with various innate spiritual materials, and crafted with painstaking effort.
The bottle exudes a warm and peaceful azure light, and its interior forms a stable little space, perfectly ensuring that the essence of the innate spiritual object is not leaked at all, allowing it to exist for ten thousand years.
He carefully transformed his divine sense into the most delicate and gentle invisible hand.
Through the gap, the three heavy drops of jade marrow, each seemingly containing the weight of a small world and bearing the weight of the primordial chaos of Pangu, were gently and steadily lifted, and then slowly and steadily introduced into the jade bottle.
Throughout the entire process, his divine sense did not cause the slightest fluctuation in the jade marrow.
The moment the last drop of jade marrow safely fell into the bottle, the Lord of Longevity swiftly cast several profound sealing spells that she had prepared beforehand, imbued with the vitality of the Wood element and the stability of the Earth element, completely sealing the bottle's opening and isolating it from the outside world.
The jade bottle sank slightly, causing even his powerful physique, which possessed the body of a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, to feel a sudden weight on his arm.
It was as if it was supporting not three drops of liquid, but three complete ancient divine mountains!
Its weight far exceeds expectations, which shows how immense the origin it contains is.
He let out a long sigh of relief, his tense mind finally relaxed, and a huge weight was lifted from his heart.
He carefully placed the jade bottle, which contained the supreme treasure, into the deepest part of his sleeve, and then used his own Great Luo magic power to set up multiple layers of hidden restrictions to protect it, ensuring that nothing would go wrong and that not a trace of its aura would be leaked.
Having done all this, Wanshou Yuanjun once again looked around the summit of Buzhou Mountain.
The sea of clouds still churned beneath my feet, the sky still seemed within reach, and the will of Pangu still silently permeated the air. This harvest was already complete, far exceeding my initial expectations.
He didn't linger and turned to look down the mountain path.
The path he had taken was still extremely treacherous, filled with chaotic air currents and terrifying pressure, but for him, whose physical body and magical power were both at the Great Luo level and who had become deeply accustomed to the pressure of the mountain, it was no longer an insurmountable barrier.
