The Mosha Clan clone carefully observed the colorful pool and the floating crystal sphere. At the same moment, within a cave on the cliff of a canyon over ten billion kilometers away, Luo Feng was hiding.
Luo Feng sat cross-legged.
“First, I should check what exactly this colorful pool and crystal sphere are,” Luo Feng connected his consciousness to the virtual universe.
…
Inside the study of Luo Feng’s mansion at Yuxiang Mountain.
Luo Feng sat in front of a desk, opened his laptop screen, and rapidly began searching. Using his consciousness, he directly transmitted images into the network for searching.
This was the advantage of the human race. When encountering dangers or unknown treasures, they could connect to the virtual universe for investigation. Of course, there were different levels of access permissions. The more mysterious and valuable the treasure, the higher the permission required. Since Luo Feng gained the title of Daohe King and his name spread throughout the universe, his access level had been raised extremely high, even surpassing some ordinary cosmic notables.
“Luo Feng, Luo Feng, I found something!” Ba Bata shouted from Luo Feng’s shoulder.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng slightly frowned, stared at the screen, and gently clicked on the top search result.
Based on the image comparison, the virtual universe network had already provided an accurate answer.
Colorful Pool: Named “Colorful Abyss Essence.” It appeared to be a pool, but that was just a visual illusion. The pool did not actually contain water. In fact, it consisted of five abyssal channels connected to the source of the universe. These channels continuously absorbed elemental forces of the five elements, constantly gathering, nurturing, and cultivating. In areas where the Colorful Abyss Essence gathers, a Spatial Core is usually born.
Crystal Sphere: Named “Spatial Core,” it forms gradually in areas with Colorful Abyss Essence over an extremely long period. When it first forms, it takes a spherical shape with 10,081 facets. From its initial formation to full maturity, it requires a significant amount of time. During this process, the surface of the crystal sphere will display elemental changes. Only when it fully solidifies, the crystal stabilizes, and all surrounding spatial fissures disappear, does it reach full maturity. Only at that moment does the Spatial Core become truly useful.
The Colorful Abyss Essence consists of five abysses, a special environment in the universe that cannot be relocated or taken away.
The Spatial Core is the core material for crafting “Primordial Treasures.”
“Primordial Treasures?” Luo Feng was slightly taken aback; it was an unfamiliar term.
“Treasures?”
Luo Feng was secretly astonished. Anything that could be called a treasure must be extraordinary. He knew that his own Star Chart, Tower Beads, and Shi Wu Wings barely crossed the threshold of treasures. For instance, the Shi Wu Wings were practically useless even to a Cosmic Sovereign, only coveted by Cosmic Notables.
“It seems I’ve struck gold this time. The Ancestor Mystery Realm truly lives up to its reputation as the most mysterious and miraculous realm,” Luo Feng thought to himself. Immediately, he began searching the network for the keywords “Primordial Treasures” and “Spatial Core.”
Soon, a large amount of information appeared on the screen.
Luo Feng started reading.
Primordial Treasures: Refers to “Primordial-type Treasures,” a general term for a category of treasures!
A cosmic cultivator only once in their life, when they ascend from a Realm Lord to an Immortal, can they invoke the laws of the Primordial Source Sea, receiving an infusion of infinite energy that transforms their body into a “Divine Body.” This grants them a massive amount of divine energy, and this opportunity only comes once.
As they cultivate and improve their strength, cultivators will, during their progress, invoke the “Laws of the Primordial Source Sea” and slowly absorb energy.
However, the absorption rate becomes much slower at this stage. Fortunately, since cultivators advance very slowly, often taking millions or even hundreds of millions of years to break through, the slow energy absorption is still sufficient for their Divine Bodies to grow stronger.
However—
Cosmic cultivators often engage in fierce battles, and in true life-or-death combat, burning divine energy is common. Reserves accumulated over billions of years can be significantly depleted—for example, if 50% of their divine energy is burned—it can take an extremely long time to recover such a massive amount. Fortunately, there are many treasures in the universe that can be converted into divine energy, allowing cultivators to recover quickly, even awakening sleeping deities and restoring their strength rapidly.
At the Immortal level, these treasures are quite effective.
However, for Cosmic Notables, their Divine Bodies are extremely powerful. If they burn and lose 30%, 50%, or more of their energy, the amount of treasure required to recover is astronomical—thousands or even millions of times greater than what an Immortal would need. Even the wealthiest Cosmic Notables would struggle to gather such vast quantities of cosmic treasures.
That’s just for Cosmic Notables.
If it comes to Cosmic Sovereigns, and inter-clan wars, the clashes between Cosmic Sovereigns can be devastating. If a Cosmic Sovereign loses 50% of their Divine Body, the loss is catastrophic for their entire clan. Even for a powerful clan like the human race, if a Sovereign like the Chaos City Lord loses a clone, the cost would be devastating. How much energy does it take to create just one clone of a Cosmic Sovereign?
At the level of Cosmic Sovereigns, the number of treasures capable of quickly restoring their strength is extremely rare, and even fewer can afford them.
For some Cosmic Overlords and Cosmic Sovereigns, there is one category of treasures that becomes especially important—Primordial-type Treasures.
Primordial Treasures are not used for defense or attack, but rather to help cultivators invoke the laws of the Primordial Source Sea. Once a cultivator possesses a Primordial Treasure, they can tap into the energy of the Primordial Source Sea at speeds hundreds, thousands, or even millions of times faster. The exact efficiency depends entirely on the level of the Primordial Treasure.
All such treasures are classified under the category of “Primordial Treasures” because they are highly valued by Cosmic Overlords and Cosmic Sovereigns.
If a Cosmic Sovereign possesses a Primordial Treasure and suffers severe injuries requiring a million years to recover naturally, with a treasure that enhances energy absorption by ten thousand times, they could recover in just ten years! For a Cosmic Sovereign, ten years is an incredibly short time.
Even a Primordial Treasure that only enhances energy absorption by a thousand times is considered low-tier, yet it would still be coveted by Cosmic Overlords.
As long as a cultivator possesses such a treasure, they can fearlessly burn even 10% of their Divine Body in battle, since the recovery is fast even for small losses, and with the help of a Primordial Treasure, they can recover in a very short time. The value of such treasures is thus self-evident.
However—
The primary materials for crafting “Primordial Treasures” are extremely rare. Each one is born under unique cosmic conditions and requires an extremely long time to fully mature.
…
Spatial Core: The Spatial Core is a relatively high-grade material among Primordial Treasures, serving as a material connected to the Spatial Law Sea.
The core materials for Primordial Treasures are categorized into lower grades: “Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Light”—eight types; higher grades: “Time, Space”; top grades: “Metal-Space” fusion, “Wood-Space” fusion, and other fusion types, as well as legendary materials that encompass all laws.
With just a Spatial Core and some auxiliary materials, one could forge a Primordial Treasure.
…
Inside the floating mountain.
Within the mountain’s core, the Mosha Clan clone stared at the crystal sphere and muttered to himself: “Primordial Treasures are usually in the hands of Cosmic Overlords and Cosmic Sovereigns. They are all considered top-tier treasures. Heh, and this Spatial Core is even a high-grade one. Its value must be astonishing, probably not much less than my Shi Wu Wings.”
The higher one’s power, the more critical Primordial Treasures become. After all, for weaker cultivators, even if their energy absorption rate is increased by thousands or millions of times, the improvement is minimal.
But for Cosmic Sovereigns, their natural energy absorption rate is already incredibly fast, like a whale swallowing water. Yet, relative to their immensely powerful Divine Bodies, even this rate is still quite slow. With a Primordial Treasure, however, their already rapid absorption rate can be amplified by thousands, millions, or even more times. For an entire clan, it would be like freely plundering energy from the Primordial Source Sea’s Law Sea.
“Hmm, I didn’t expect the colorful pool to not actually be a pool—it was just a visual illusion. There’s no way to gain any benefit from it,” the Mosha Clan clone shook his head.
“The real treasure is the crystal sphere—the Spatial Core.”
The Mosha Clan clone gazed at the crystal sphere, surrounded by countless spatial rifts as if enclosed in a nest of cracks. Flickers of transparent flames and flowing water could be seen faintly on its surface. “According to the description, it has already taken form, but it hasn’t fully matured yet. Once it matures completely, it will solidify entirely, and all spatial fissures will vanish.”
“It must be fully matured before I can take it,” the Mosha Clan clone thought anxiously.
But how long would that take?
As for giving up?
This was the core material for a Primordial Treasure. With just a few auxiliary materials, one could forge a Primordial Treasure around it. Its value was likely on par with the Shi Wu Wings and the Star Chart. How could he possibly give it up easily?
…
As the Mosha Clan clone lingered deep inside the mountain, eager to obtain the crystal sphere but anxious about when it would fully mature, a figure suddenly appeared on the lake beneath the floating mountain.
Whoosh!
A towering figure appeared out of thin air on the lake’s surface. This was a being with a massive serpent tail and a human upper body, but its head had three faces. Its head was triangular in shape, and its three faces, by human standards, were hideous and evil-looking. Two thick, scaly arms held a black scepter.
“Ever since we discovered the Colorful Abyss Essence location 3,000 eons ago, and especially in the last eon, the Spatial Core has already formed. The signs have grown significantly stronger. Recently, spatial vortices have frequently appeared in several areas of the void around it. Several groups of inheritors have accidentally entered, but I’ve dealt with them all.”
“Be cautious. Come here and sweep the area once every day.”
“Kill all the inheritors. We must not let any information leak out. Although most of them wouldn’t recognize the Spatial Core even if they saw it, if they did see it and spread the news, it might attract some Cosmic Overlords, and even the Guardian Beast God might come. After all, who wouldn’t come for a Primordial Treasure that can be obtained with just a little effort?”
“But it’s mine, and it will remain mine. Once I refine it, my survival ability and combat strength will greatly increase. I won’t fear burning my Divine Body anymore.”
According to his usual sweeping pattern, he would first inspect the conical mountain, then use the 10,081 wormholes in this core area to check 10,081 locations one by one. He would use his divine energy to scan each location. If he found any inheritors, he would kill them immediately.
“Let me check if my Spatial Core has fully matured yet.”
Holding the black scepter,
The towering figure flew directly toward the floating conical mountain.
