Chapter 762: Six Zero Six Heavenly Dao Purple Qi

All the signs indicated the identity of this Innate Yin-Yang Diagram as an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

However, the most important thing was that a faint purple aura was enveloping this Innate Spiritual Treasure.

This purple aura seemed like the energy of the Great Dao, containing multiple mysteries of Heaven and Earth, fascinating to anyone who looked upon it, eliciting endless comprehension.

"Innate Merit?"

"No, this is not Innate Merit. The ancestral memory that my Master passed down to me contains records about Innate Merit. It contains supreme Dao Rhyme, surpassing many mysteries in Heaven and Earth, and it carries the divine might of the Great Dao."

"Although this purple aura is somewhat similar, it is far from surpassing many mysteries in Heaven and Earth. If it’s not Innate Merit, then what is it? It contains Merit’s mysteries yet it is more powerful than the power of Merit."

"What exactly is this treasure?"

Jiang Chen was somewhat at a loss. This Innate Yin-Yang Diagram surpassed his understanding, to the point where even he didn’t know what type of treasure it was.

Just as Jiang Chen was puzzling, a mysterious light shot out from the body of the Innate Yin-Yang Diagram and disappeared into Jiang Chen’s body.

"Sky-breaking Sacred Artifact, Innate Yin-Yang Diagram!"

In an instant, Jiang Chen understood the origin of this Spiritual Treasure. It was formed from the Yin-Yang Diagram during the initial Chaos of Sky-breaking.

Back then, Han Yuan’s power merged with the power of the Fusang tree within Chaos, forming an Innate Yin-Yang Diagram. The Diagram operated within Chaos, giving birth to all things in Yin and Yang.

This Diagram was an intangible thing, but during the Sky-breaking, a large amount of Chaos Qi coalesced within it, forming a physical body and an Innate undying divine light, thus becoming an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Afterward, after the successful creation of the vast world, the power of the Original Source nourished the Innate Yin-Yang Diagram, causing it to generate more Innate deity restrictions, and it instantly became a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure with 28 Innate Deity Restrictions.

The vast world can only nurture high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures to its limit. Anything stronger than this must come from a higher level Universe World.

If this was all, then Jiang Chen wouldn’t be so shocked at this Innate Yin-Yang Diagram, what was crucial was what happened afterward.

From Pangu’s Sky Breaking, any living creature that broke open heaven and earth would receive Merit. Therefore, after this Diagram opened the sky and earth, it received a lot of Merit from the Heavenly Dao.

The Innate Yin-Yang Diagram created a vast world, enormous and boundless. Placed in heaven, it could evolve into a domain of heaven. Such a vast world, one can imagine how much Merit the Heavenly Dao grants.

However, the Innate Yin-Yang Diagram is an Innate Spiritual Treasure, and Merit is a postnatal thing. It can’t absorb it at all, even if the Heavenly Dao grants a lot of Merit, it is useless.

The Heavenly Dao is never stingy towards those who have done good deeds. Seeing that Merit was useless, it changed the reward, granting the Innate Yin-Yang Diagram strands of Heavenly Dao Original Source Qi.

The Heavenly Dao’s Original Source Qi, also known as Heavenly Dao’s Purple Qi, is a rare treasure in modern times. If used in artifact crafting, it can be crafted into a Heavenly Dao Sacred Artifact. In the Prehistoric World, it could use the power of the Heavenly Dao, and its power was comparable to an Innate Treasure.

If used in pill refining, it could be refined into a Primordial Great Dao Pill, which could help Great Divine Transcendents break through to the realm of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

The purple aura emanating from this Innate Yin-Yang Diagram represents Heavenly Dao’s Purple Qi. It was formed from the Original Source of Heavenly Dao, so while it may be more precious than Profound Yellow Merit, it is not comparable to Innate Merit.

But from another perspective, the value of the Heavenly Dao’s Purple Qi is not worse than that of Hongmeng’s Purple Qi. Although it can’t make people achieve the Sacred position, it can make people breakthrough to become Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

Saints are Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, but Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial are not Saints. The gap between these two, it’s big but small at the same time. But at their core, they are the same, both being undying and unyielding, the supreme realm.

What’s missing is that Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial is transcendent of Heaven and Earth, while Saints are willingly embracing Heavenly Dao.

"Heavenly Dao Purple Aura!"

"No wonder Saints, after achieving Dao, should go to Chaos to break open Heaven and Earth, create a vast world, and obtain such benefits here."

"Indeed, every move a Saint makes has deep implications, they don’t do meaningless things."

The stronger you are, the more you know. If he hadn’t tried it himself, how would Jiang Chen know that forming a vast world has such benefits?

At the same time, this event also told Jiang Chen that the vast world is truly extraordinary. It’s already under the observation of Heavenly Dao; otherwise, wouldn’t it grant its Heavenly Dao Purple Qi.

Keep in mind, when Jiang Chen crafted the Dao Sovereign artifact and opened the middle thousand worlds, Heavenly Dao didn’t even grant him Profound Yellow Merit, it merely treated it as if nothing had happened.

This shows that the so-called ’breaking open heaven and earth, for which you can gain merits,’ is about creating a vast world. Only then can it be noticed by Heavenly Dao and receive various benefits.

As for the middle thousand worlds and smaller worlds, sorry, they are not considered ’breaking open heaven and earth’ in the eyes of Heavenly Dao. Even if you create hundreds of them, you won’t gain the attention of Heavenly Dao and get any benefits.

"Heavenly Dao sure sets high standards, only deeming the vast universe worthy of its attention."

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but shake his head. The difficulty of creating such a grand universe was immense. Even for Quasi-Saints, forcefully creating a universe like this would exhaust their power to the point of death. Great Divine Transcendents wouldn’t die, but they would exhaust their mana and be left half-dead.

Only a Saint who possessed an Innate Treasure could effortlessly create such a universe out of Chaos.

As for Jiang Chen, he was able to create this universe by sheer luck. Firstly, Han Yuan was a unique place created by Donghuang Taiyi. After countless years of evolution, it already resembled a rudimentary universe.

Secondly, the Innate Fusang Wood had planted its roots in the valley of hot soup for a long time, and its Origin Qi was incredibly immense, not lacking compared to an ordinary Quasi-Saint. The integration of the powers of these two entities, along with the Origin Qi of the valley and the willpower of sentient beings, resulted in the creation of this vast universe.

This feat cannot be replicated, as treasures like Han Yuan and the Innate Fusang Wood are second to none in the entire world.

...

"What a pity that there’s too little of the Heavenly Dao’s Purple Qi gifted by Heavenly Dao. It’s not enough to refine a Primordial Great Dao Pill, nor is it enough to craft a Heavenly Dao Divine Artifact."

After learning about the origin of the Innate Yin and Yang Dao Diagram, some disappointment flickered in Jiang Chen’s eyes. The Purple Qi of the Heavenly Dao contained within it was too scarce to be sufficient for anything.

However, upon further consideration, this was normal. After all, if the Heavenly Dao Purple Qi granted for creating a universe were enough to refine a Primordial Great Dao Pill, the Prehistoric World would be overrun with Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial by now.

Which of the Great Divine Transcendents didn’t have the ability to create a universe out of Chaos? If it were possible to reach a breakthrough by merely creating such a universe, they would have done so long ago.

Creating a universe isn’t enough; a complete Universe World needed to be created. Even a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial would exhaust all their energy and die trying to do so.

It’s impossible for Great Divine Transcendents to achieve this. Thus, achieving the Dao by way of creating Heaven and Earth is not a good prospect; it’s too perilous. Even a slight slip could lead to downfall.

"However, the Heavenly Dao Purple Qi isn’t entirely useless. At the very least, it has elevated the power of the Innate Yin and Yang Dao Diagram by a level. Although it’s a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, its power could be comparable to a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure."

Withdrawing his gaze from the Dao Diagram, Jiang Chen looked towards Han Yuan.

Truth be told, with Jiang Chen’s current worth, a top-grade Innate item could no longer shake his mindset. If it weren’t for the extraordinary nature of the Innate Yin and Yang Dao Diagram, he wouldn’t be paying so much attention to it.

Of course, most importantly, the Innate Yin and Yang Dao Diagram belonged to him, which is why he seemed so nonchalant about it. The Diagram was naturally part of Han Yuan, who himself was a treasure of Jiang Chen. Therefore, the Dao Diagram also belonged to him.

This isn’t like the Western World, where the subordinate of my subordinate is not my subordinate.

Han Yuan, a divine being comparable to a Quasi-Saint!

As Jiang Chen looked at him, he could sense an unimaginable amount of power within him that seemed boundless, as though he had the power to change Heaven and Earth.

Jiang Chen shared a connection with Han Yuan, allowing him to easily sense everything about Han Yuan. Otherwise, how could a mere Innate Dao Sovereign like Jiang Chen see through a Quasi-Saint?

"So this is a Quasi-Saint? Indeed, it’s powerful, much stronger than me.

From Han Yuan, Jiang Chen became aware of the gap between himself and a Quasi-Saint. Yet, he was not disappointed but rather felt excited. That’s because the gap between him and a Quasi-Saint wasn’t as large as he had imagined.

Although his current power was no match for a Quasi-Saint, he was not without any means to resist. At the very least, if he was determined to escape, a Quasi-Saint could not hold him back.

This was the terrifying aspect of walking the path of power. Right after ascending, he already had the ability to escape from a Quasi-Saint. If he reached perfection at this state, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to oppose a Quasi-Saint.

"My choice was correct. The path of power truly is the strongest, much stronger than the Taiyi Dao."

Jiang Chen reflected, believing that if he had chosen to attain Dao through the Taiyi Dao, he wouldn’t be as strong as he was now.

"Right, where’s the Innate Fusang Wood?"

At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly realized that he had not seen the Innate Fusang Wood since he arrived in this world. He quickly looked around.

Then, he saw, at the center of this world, a small Innate sacred tree similar to the Fusang Wood, yet also completely different.

This Innate sacred tree was not more than ten thousand feet high. It could only be considered a seedling. Its color was not the unique golden hue of the Fusang Wood but rather a mixture of gold and silver.

The two colors intertwined like a mysterious Dao pattern tightly coiled around the tree, releasing two kinds of forces, extreme cold and extreme heat, just like Yin and Yang intertwined.

"An Innate sacred tree of Yin and Yang, a high-grade Innate Spirit Root. It can be considered the pillar of this world. Once it grows up, it can support this world and grow together with it."

With a stirring in his heart, Jiang Chen immediately knew the origin of this tree. It was born from the fusion of the original source of the Innate Fusang Wood after its rebirth and the original source of Han Yuan. Therefore, this tree possessed Yin and Yang powers as soon as it was born.
