Chapter 1495: All Things Have Spirits, Spirit Ancestor [4th Update]
Treasures rained from the sky, landing all over the Holy Ancient Spirit World.
What kind of powerful being could be doing this?
Chu Yuan did not rush to snatch them. In his eyes, although there were many treasures, most were not worth his attention. It wasn't necessary to expend immense effort to seize them and attract more strong figures towards him.
He merely maintained a small Devouring Domain.
Suddenly, a divine light flashed in his eyes. He reached out and caught a divine stone about ten feet long in his hand, gripping it tightly, yet it endured his strength without shattering.
One must know, Chu Yuan's strength was far greater than the average primordial deity.
"This is the Eternal God Stone!"
Chu Yuan recognized this kind of stone, which could only be found on the Eternal Path. It required an eternal energy aura to form, incredibly sturdy, with undying vitality.
Ordinary primordial deities couldn't break it.
This kind of stone was valuable, used to set up various grand formations and construct divine palaces.
It's said that within the Heavens of the Gods, the Hall of Gods built by the Creator of Divine Realm was made of this Eternal God Stone, with an astonishing amount of material used.
"There are more Eternal God Stones."
Chu Yuan saw them falling like dumplings, mixed among other treasures, and absorbed them with his devouring power.
"How dare you! This area is governed by the three island lords, who dares to plunder recklessly?"
But at that moment, a shout erupted as three beams of spiritual light flashed simultaneously, revealing three individuals.
These three were an old man, a middle-aged man, and a woman in palace attire, all at the fifth realm of Heavenly Dao. Seeing Chu Yuan seizing the Eternal God Stones, they immediately acted to stop him.
The force they released, instantly formed a spiritual array.
Yet, their power struck Chu Yuan like stones sinking into the sea, having no effect whatsoever.
"Our power is ineffective against him!" The middle-aged man's face immediately turned grim.
"Who is this person? Why have we not seen him before? He doesn't even exude the aura of a primordial deity, yet with him here, we can't acquire any of these precious treasures!"
The old man dared to act only because Chu Yuan lacked the primordial aura.
"Try probing his strength again!"
The woman's eyes glinted.
But just as her words fell, an immensely strong celestial hand suddenly descended, controlling everything. The woman let out a scream as her entire body collapsed.
After she collapsed, her body transformed into a river.
"A sentience born from a spiritual river."
No matter how this river twisted and changed, Chu Yuan swept it away with one palm, sealing it within a small space.
"Rui Yao!" The old man and middle-aged man were shocked.
In an instant, Rui Yao was sealed by this person.
"Neither of you should run."
Chu Yuan's unparalleled power swept across, transforming his palm into a starry universe. The old man and middle-aged man attempted to flee but were subdued by Chu Yuan in an instant.
"You... are you going to kill us and seize our Spiritual Power?"
Chu Yuan's invincible power filled the trio with immense fear and regret. What kind of terrifying existence had they encountered?
"Soul Control!"
Chu Yuan gazed at them, not wasting words, directly employing the Great Soul Technique to forcibly control their souls, leaving them no room for maneuver.
Feeling the invasion of the Great Soul Technique, the three were terrified, experiencing a strong premonition.
If they forcefully resisted the Great Soul Technique, they would completely collapse, leaving no place for burial.
Life or dignity?
At the last moment, they chose life.
Their discretion made Chu Yuan nod slightly. With their souls controlled, he seized three Soul Seals, which governed their life and death, ready to shatter their existence at a moment's notice.
"Rumor has it, the terrifying Soul Ancestor of the multiverse, his Great Soul Technique can not only control souls but also destiny awareness. Meaning, even if your soul collapses in a seek to live through death, the resurrected divine body remains under his soul control."
Chu Yuan said.
He could not yet use the Great Soul Technique to control destiny awareness.
"Master!"
Having been mastered by Chu Yuan, the old man and the others resigned themselves, obediently standing aside.
"This old man."
Chu Yuan investigated his power.
The old man was not a sentient plant, tree, or some strange entity but a man with Mana composed of Spiritual Power, different from the humans in the multiverse.
His core was not a soul but a Spirit Crystal.
The Spirit Crystal's power fluctuated strongly, like a star, emitting a brilliant divine radiance, housing his soul.
"Different cultivation systems produce different bodies and powers."
Chu Yuan mused.
He understood; similar to the era of immortals, which cultivated the Nascent Soul protection technique.
The woman was a sentience born from a spiritual river.
The middle-aged man was a fierce beast.
But this beast was also quite different from the beasts in the multiverse, more accurately described as a Spirit Beast.
Spirit Humans, Spirit Rivers, Spirit Beasts.
In the Holy Ancient Spirit World, all things possess spirit.
"Who is the strongest in the Holy Ancient Spirit World?" Chu Yuan asked.
"Master possesses such world-shaking power, yet doesn't know?"
The middle-aged man was puzzled.
"Master is not a strong figure within the Holy Ancient Spirit World!"
The old man suddenly realized. He was called Wuhai.
"I am not from the Holy Ancient Spirit World."
Since their souls were under his control, Chu Yuan had nothing to hide.
"No wonder."
The old man Wuhai's face turned bitter, regretting provoking this god of death, but it was too late for regret now.
He confessed honestly: "There are occasionally powerful beings from outside in the Holy Ancient Spirit World, but each one from the outside is exceptionally powerful, all original deities."
Outside the Holy Ancient Spirit World is the Eternal Path, and only primordial deities can enter.
Moreover, this world is open and doesn't reject newcomers.
"You understand the outside world."
Chu Yuan stated.
"A little, but we have never been out, only knowing it's extremely dangerous outside. Without being a primordial god, you can't leave."
Wuhai obediently said.
"Master, the strongest in the Holy Ancient Spirit World is the Spirit Ancestor, who founded the Holy Ancient Spirit World, bestowing fortunes. Every so often, countless treasures descend within the Spirit World for us to cultivate!"
The woman Rui Yao answered eagerly.
"Spirit Ancestor's treasure bestowal!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan understood everything.
The Holy Ancient Spirit World was founded by the unparalleled Spirit Ancestor.
This world belongs to the Spirit Ancestor, who should be exploring the Eternal Path, seeking immortal and eternal opportunities.
As for the endless divine treasures raining down, it was easy to understand.
These treasures were insignificant to the Spirit Ancestor, just like how Chu Yuan, while venturing through multiple realms, would place all he acquired into his divine realm for his people to cultivate.
The principle is the same.
The Spirit Ancestor granting these treasures to the Spirit World also bolstered the Spirit Ancestor's power.
"Imprint your knowledge of the Holy Ancient Spirit World and do it well, and you shall be rewarded."
Chu Yuan commanded.
