Above the Returning Ruins, Fu Xi and other Great Divine Ability wielders wore extremely grim expressions. With Yang Mei’s incarnation present, suppressing the Fierce Beasts became even more difficult.

With their strength, they would normally be capable of suppressing these Fierce Beasts, but Yang Mei’s incarnation was using the Space-Time Great Dao to accelerate the evolution of these beasts dramatically.

Initially, the strongest among the Fierce Beasts were at the Daluo Golden Immortal level, but now quite a few had emerged that were on par with Quasi-Saints and Primordial Golden Immortals.

Fu Xi knew that to deal with these Fierce Beasts, they had to first solve the problem of Yang Mei’s incarnation and prevent him from continuing to use the Space-Time Great Dao to accelerate the evolution of the beasts.

Perhaps sensing Fu Xi’s concern, Duobao stepped forward immediately: "Heavenly Emperor need not worry; let me handle these Fierce Beasts!"

"Heavenly Emperor should focus all your energy on battling Yang Mei, the Great Immortal, and break through the methods he has left behind!"

Hearing this, Fu Xi was startled: "Daoist Duobao, do you have some sort of method to deal with the Fierce Beasts?"

Although Duobao has now Slash Three Corpses, yet to Unite the Three Corpses, and his cultivation was only at the late Quasi-Saint stage, slightly weaker than Fu Xi.

Fu Xi believed that before resolving Yang Mei’s incarnation, it was impossible to resolve this catastrophe of Fierce Beasts. Who would have thought that Daoist Duobao would volunteer himself?

"I am invincible below a Saint!"

Duobao smiled proudly, his body radiating endless divine light, transforming into a thirty-six-layered tower, with the aura of an Innate Treasure evidently showing.

Boom!

The heavens and earth shook violently, the cosmos trembled, and a boundless and unparalleled force immediately crushed down, materializing thirty-six Great Thousand Worlds in the void.

"This is..."

Bai Ze was somewhat in disbelief: "How is this possible? Isn’t his original body the Treasure Dividing Rock?"

As one of the three thousand guests in the Purple Cloud Palace, Bai Ze witnessed the birth of intelligence in the "Treasure Dividing Rock," only to be enlightened by the Tongtian Sect Master, helped with its Transformation, named Duobao, and then accepted as a Direct Disciple!

That "Treasure Dividing Rock," which Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun used to store various Spiritual Treasures, was indeed somewhat mysterious, but it was just a piece of Chaos Immortal Stone after all!

Precisely because he witnessed Duobao’s Transformation, he couldn’t believe that after countless years, the "Treasure Dividing Rock" had become an Innate Treasure.

Shennong’s brows furrowed slightly: "Is this considered Physical Body proving the Dao, or Magic Treasure proving the Dao?"

The Method of Self that he had studied was merely refining a Spirit Root into a Lifebound Spiritual Root, but he had never seen anyone refining their own body into a Spiritual Treasure.

Zhunti Daoist might be considered one.

But he achieved Saint status first. His physical body was transformed toward a body of rules, rebuilt his Taoist Body, and after becoming a Saint, he incorporated his pre-saintly body, the "Geng Metal Bodhi," with various Innate substances, refining into the "Seven Treasures Marvel Tree"... rather than like Daoist Duobao, refining himself as Magic Treasure!

It is difficult for Demon Beasts to Transform, and even more so for Innate Sacred beings. Those who can Transform are no ordinary entities.

Especially those born from Spirit Roots and Spiritual Treasures.

The only one he knew who emerged from an Innate Spiritual Treasure and Transformed was Yu Ding Zhenren of the Chan Sect.

As for Duobao, strictly speaking, he is not considered a Transformation of an Innate Spiritual Treasure; he is a Transformation from a Chaos stone, theoretically on the same footing as Hao Tian.

"Heavenly Gang Subduing Demons!"

Duobao’s voice rang out once more, unleashing boundless divine light from his body, even connecting the thirty-six Great Thousand Worlds in the void with the "Heavenly Gang Array."

The mighty force swept across the Four Seas and Eight Desolates, with countless spaces being suppressed, and the Fierce Beasts that burst from the Returning Ruins Sea Eye were no exception.

This was the source of his confidence.

In the past, Donghuang Taiyi, with the "Chaos Bell," was acknowledged as the foremost under the Saints; now Duobao felt he deserved this title too.

With the appearance of an Innate Treasure, against all under the Saints, Innateness stands undefeated. Furthermore, this Treasure was refined from his very own body, allowing him to exert one hundred percent of its power.

Duobao Tower!

An Innate Treasure refined with Daoist Duobao’s own body, in conjunction with three hundred and sixty-five Innate Spiritual Treasures, using the "Refining Dao Furnace."

After Xuanqing’s Dao achievement, Duobao took the initiative to borrow the "Refining Dao Furnace" from him, fusing all his Spiritual Treasures with himself into one.

Although his cultivation was still at the late Quasi-Saint stage, his physical body, with the properties of an Innate Treasure, was already comparable to ordinary Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals!

Under the power of the Innate Treasure, the many Fierce Beasts were immediately rendered immobile, even Yang Mei’s incarnation’s time domain was temporarily suppressed.

"Taiyi Divine Thunder!"

Seeing this, Fu Xi would not miss this opportunity, and immediately headed towards Yang Mei’s incarnation. An endless storm of Divine Thunder annihilated millions of miles of the void.

Shennong, Xuanyuan, Candle Dragon, Bai Ze, Wudang Saint Mother, and others acted decisively as well.

They knew that despite Duobao’s physical presence being no less than that of a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, his Mana was still that of a late-stage Quasi-Saint.

Such a state could not last long; they needed to fight quickly and decisively.

"Innate Treasure, ah!"

Atop Mount Sumeru, Zhunti Daoist couldn’t help casting a covetous glance, "Our Western lands are barren; when will we ever possess an Innate Treasure?"

Human Sect, Chan Sect, and Underworld, all have Innate Treasures anchoring their fortunes. As for Jie Sect, aside from having the body of the Tongtian Sect Master’s "Tongtian Jian Mu" securing their fortune, there is also the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, Xuanqing, and Daoist Duobao who has refined himself into a treasure.

Although the Buddhist Sect is currently flourishing, the absence of an Innate Treasure anchoring its fortune actually poses a significant latent risk.

Therefore, upon seeing Daoist Duobao revealing the aura of an Innate Treasure, he couldn’t help but envy him and even had thoughts of suppressing it with a Saint’s power.

"Junior brother, you must not!"

Jieyin Daoist seemed to have guessed Zhunti Daoist’s thoughts and hurriedly spoke, "The three teachings of Xuan Sect are like branches of the same root. Jie Sect alone has a Heavenly Dao Saint and a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal. It is best for junior brother to suppress such thoughts deep within your heart!"

To move against Daoist Duobao, who is the prime disciple of Jie Sect, is unequivocally to make enemies with the entire Jie Sect.

Whether forcibly converting him, erasing his sentience to steal his original body, both actions would lead the Tongtian Sect Master and Xuanqing to storm Mount Sumeru.

This is seeking death!

"Senior brother, rest assured, I know what I am doing!"

Zhunti Daoist replied somewhat sheepishly, and immediately coughed lightly, "Actually, I am just curious as to how he transformed himself into an Innate Treasure?"

"Brother, you know my original form is Geng Metal Bodhi. I’ve refined my old body into the Seven Treasures Marvel Tree, my treasure of enlightenment. If I could know the specifics, perhaps I could transform it into an Innate Treasure!"

"I am thinking of the Western lands’ welfare!"

Without an Innate Treasure anchoring fortune, even if Buddhism becomes the greatest religion in Primordial times, there will still come a day when it will reach its peak before declining.

With the size of the Buddhist Sect, the "Twelve Grade Merit Golden Lotus" can only anchor fortune temporarily, but it is still lacking compared to the three teachings of Xuan Sect.

With an Innate Treasure anchoring the fortune, even if the Xuan Sect declines in the future, it can maintain a certain scale, waiting for the day to rise again.

On the other hand, while Buddhism is currently at its zenith, without an Innate Treasure anchoring its fortune, once it falls, it may plummet drastically and even never recover, ultimately reduced to a mere complement to the three teachings of Xuan Sect.

"This probably has something to do with that Daoist Xuanqing!"

Upon hearing this, Jieyin Daoist couldn’t help but sigh, "He achieved the rank of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal through the Refining Dao, and with the Chaos Spirit Treasure, Refining Dao Furnace, in his hands, it might not be a difficult task for him to create Innate Treasures!"

His gaze turned to the Chaos Void beyond the expanse of Primordial: "And there’s Great Immortal Yang Mei, who has now become a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, and his original body, the Empty Heart Willow, has also transformed into a Chaos Spirit Root!"

"Junior brother, perhaps you should not have refined your old form into the Seven Treasures Marvel Tree. Had you cultivated it using the Method of Self that Shennong and Xuanqing and others created, when you attained the rank of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, it might have undergone transformation as well!"

"After all...

"The Geng Metal Bodhi and the Empty Heart Willow are both among the top ten supreme Innate Spirit Roots in the Primordial era!"

Whether it’s Daoist Duobao transforming himself into an Innate Treasure, or Great Immortal Yang Mei undergoing transformation into a Chaos Spirit Root after achieving enlightenment, it all proves that Spirit Roots or Magic Treasures can evolve and ascend.

Where there’s one, there’s a second!

Jieyin Daoist believed that as long as they found the right method, Buddhism too would have its own Innate Treasures and Chaos Spirit Roots to anchor its fortune.

"Discussing these matters now is utterly meaningless!" Zhunti Daoist immediately shook his head, "Back in the early days of the Western lands, when everything was yet to be developed, naturally, we could not think so far ahead, focused only on enhancing our strength. How could we have known such beings would emerge in the future?"

Those who do not plan for a moment will struggle to plan for a lifetime; those who cannot plan for a lifetime will find it difficult to plan for eternity. Even Saints can’t predict exactly where the future will lead.

With the Western Earth Veins shattered, the Innate Spiritual Energy depleted, they could only seize the opportunities of the present, how could they have forethought for events hundreds of kalpas later?

Upon hearing this, Jieyin Daoist however, smiled, "Not necessarily without chance. After founding the Sumeru Organization, I, in another form, traveled through All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds and found a supreme Innate Spirit Root known as the Parijata Tree. Perhaps we could find a way to nudge it towards becoming a Chaos Spirit Root!"

Compared to crafting an Innate Treasure, he thought, it would be easier to cultivate a Chaos Spirit Root. The Tongtian Sect Master used his origin power as a Saint to transform the "Tongtian Jian Mu" into a Chaos Spirit Root. Yang Mei, upon attaining Primordial Daluo, similarly caused his original form, "Empty Heart Willow," to undergo transformation.

These are tangible examples.

As long as the Heavenly Dao exists, the Heavenly Dao Saints will not die. Same goes for Earth Dao Saints; even in demise, they can be revived through the Origin Power of Earth Dao.

To Jieyin Daoist, if the "Twelve Grade Merit Golden Lotus" is unable to anchor the fortune of the Buddhist Sect, then the time would come for him to selflessly sacrifice himself, using his own Saintly origin, to expedite the transformation of the "Parijata Tree."

"The Earth Dao might not be amenable!"

Zhunti Daoist voiced his concerns, "The Earth Dao’s origin is not as mighty as the Heavenly Dao’s. If we were to use the Earth Dao’s origin to accelerate the transformation of the Parijata Tree, it might harbor resentment against us, and that could lead to a net loss!"

"Worry not!"

Jieyin Daoist waived aside the concern, "Kunpeng established his Dao through dreams, compelling me to turn toward the Path of Silent Annihilation! If I can evolve the Silent Annihilation Great Dao to its utmost limit, who’s to say I cannot, like Yuan Feng, seek life in death? By then, even without the help of Earth Dao’s origin, I could achieve Nirvana myself."

Becoming an Earth Dao Saint was simply a temporary measure to liberate myself from the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, but the true pursuit is to become a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal!

Taking the Path of Silent Annihilation to the extreme is rebirth, Nirvana, the turning point of pushing things to their limit.

This is his Dao!
