Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures are not considered rare in the entire Chaos space.
However, a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure like the one beneath Yuan Wutian’s feet, so colossal in volume, so substantial in origin, and capable of changing size at will, is likely truly one of a kind.
Its value is by no means comparable to ordinary spiritual treasures of the same tier.
Yuan Wutian’s thoughts shifted again, and he moved the mysterious valley containing innate wind energy at the foot of the mountain entirely into the cave abode on the mountainside, right next to his newly constructed palace complex.
His hands fluttered, and countless profound runes were cast into the void, perfectly fusing the valley’s natural wind energy field, the original core runes of the Chaos Qiankun Grand Formation, with the newly arranged Innate Yin-Yang Limitless Great Array.
Buzz—!
The moment the two great innate formations merged, the entire mountainside cave abode trembled violently. A visible transparent light barrier, flowing with the state of Chaos and the two primordial forces, instantly materialized, enveloping the palaces, the valley, and the flower gardens.
Upon the light barrier, chaotic energy flowed, and the yin and yang energies cycled endlessly, emitting an aura of indomitable strength and impenetrability to all methods.
Yuan Wutian felt the might of this merged formation, his eyes shining with brilliance.
"Good! With the protection of this double innate formation, as long as I am within the cave abode and fully activate the array, even a cultivator at the early stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, without a treasure at the Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure level to break the formation, cannot hope to breach it easily!"
What pleased him even more was that the innate wind energy brought by the valley, guided by the Spirit Gathering Formation he skillfully arranged within the mountainside cave abode, formed powerful vortices of spiritual energy.
These vortices madly devoured the Chaos Spiritual Energy from the outside. After being purified and accelerated by the innate wind energy, they resembled countless agile dragons and snakes, continuously seeping into the body of the Divine Mountain, persistently tempering and nourishing the mountain's origin.
Yuan Wutian clearly felt that the grade of the Divine Mountain was still extremely slowly but steadily improving under this continuous, automated tempering and nourishment.
Given time, breaking through the Mid-grade, advancing to Upper-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, or even touching the legendary Supreme Grade threshold would not be an illusion.
"This place shall be the foundation of my Dojo in Chaos!"
Yuan Wutian’s heart was filled with immense pride. His figure flickered, and he appeared in the Chaos space.
Before him was the eternally churning gray-white chaotic energy flow. And before him, suspended was the majestic Divine Mountain, over a hundred thousand miles high, exuding an aura of profound weightiness that suppressed all ages.
Yuan Wutian smiled faintly and said softly to the Divine Mountain, "Smaller."
Buzz!
The Divine Mountain trembled slightly, and its colossal form began to shrink at a visible speed, reducing in size by a portion in the blink of an eye.
"Smaller, even smaller."
The Divine Mountain shrank by half again, becoming tens of thousands of miles high.
"Smaller, smaller, smaller!"
Yuan Wutian commanded thrice. The colossal entity, driven by his will, contracted rapidly as if it were an illusion.
Finally, it transformed into a dimly dark mountain, only about a foot high, barely palm-sized, exquisitely translucent, and hovered steadily before Yuan Wutian.
Yuan Wutian extended his right hand, and the miniature Divine Mountain, as if possessing sentience, lightly landed in his palm.
Its touch was warm and smooth, yet it carried a weighty texture, as if holding a condensed world of chaos.
Upon the Divine Mountain, miniature shadows of palaces and valleys faintly appeared and disappeared, its surface flowing with the profound luster of primordial chaos.
Looking at the Divine Mountain in his palm, completely refined by his own hands, in perfect communion with his will, and capable of changing size at his whim, Yuan Wutian felt an immense sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
This feeling was far beyond that of obtaining the Ruyi Seal or the Primordial Chaos Blade, treasures born of heaven and earth. This was his own creation, the crystallization of his effort and cultivation.
His affection for it naturally surpassed any external object.
"The Ruyi Seal primarily suppresses, the Primordial Chaos Blade primarily attacks. This mountain… shall be named 'Chaos Sea-Suppressing Peak' then!"
Yuan Wutian bestowed its name, signifying its origin from Chaos and its ability to suppress the turbulent seas of Chaos.
While pleased, Yuan Wutian was not content. With a thought, he took out two hundred Chaos Stones from his Ruyi Treasure Bag, emanating the aura of Chaos Origin.
Simultaneously, the Crimson Nascent Soul within his dantian activated, and a condensed, pure, yet even more potent than during the previous artifact refining, Nirvana Divine Fire rose from his palm, instantly enveloping the two hundred Chaos Stones.
Hiss hiss hiss……
Under the terrifying high temperature of the Nirvana Divine Fire, the hard Chaos Stones quickly softened and melted, finally transforming into a large mass of liquid essence flowing with multicolored radiance, containing pure Chaos Origin.
Yuan Wutian carefully and slowly guided this priceless essence into the Chaos Sea-Suppressing Peak in his palm.
The surface of the Divine Mountain emitted a brilliant light, and the chaotic Dao rhythms flowing on its dark surface became clearer and more dynamic. The mountain itself seemed to have solidified slightly.
However, after the brilliance gradually subsided, the Divine Mountain's grade remained firmly at the peak of Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. It seemed to still be lacking that final push to break through to Upper-grade.
"Still not enough?" Yuan Wutian frowned, then a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
"You can’t catch a tiger cub without going into the tiger’s den!" He opened his Ruyi Treasure Bag again, this time taking out several extremely rare Innate Gold Essence ore veins collected during his travels in Chaos over the years. These were excellent materials for refining top-tier spiritual treasures.
The Nirvana Divine Fire surged again, refining these incomparably hard Innate Gold Essences one by one, removing impurities, leaving only the purest, sharpest metallic origin.
Then, he once again integrated these liquid metallic essences into the Chaos Sea-Suppressing Peak.
This time, the Chaos Sea-Suppressing Peak reacted more intensely. The entire mountain trembled slightly in Yuan Wutian’s palm, the light on its surface flickering like breathing.
On the originally dark mountain body, a subtle yet incomparably sharp metallic cold glint faintly emerged. Its profound aura was now tinged with a sense of invincible sharpness.
The brilliance was far greater than before, as if the mountain body had been refined from the inside out, becoming more pure, more powerful.
However, after the brilliance reached its peak and slowly calmed down, although the Divine Mountain's aura became more powerful and condensed, even faintly touching the threshold of Upper-grade, it ultimately failed to truly cross it.
That invisible barrier remained firm.
Yuan Wutian’s gaze flickered towards the depths of the Ruyi Treasure Bag, where the golden divine spear of Upper-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure level, dropped by One-Horned Golden Armor, lay quietly.
"If I could decompose this spear and integrate it into the mountain…" This thought was extremely tempting. But when he tried to scorch the spear tip with the Nirvana Divine Fire, the material of the Upper-grade Spiritual Treasure remained unmoved. Instead, a phản lực force was transmitted.
"With my current Nirvana Divine Fire, I still can’t deal with an Upper-grade Spiritual Treasure," Yuan Wutian shook his head helplessly and had to give up for now.
"So be it. The firmer the foundation, the greater the future potential. Peak Mid-grade is more than enough!"
Yuan Wutian suppressed a trace of regret in his heart and regained his confident demeanor. With a thought, the miniature Chaos Sea-Suppressing Peak in his palm instantly flew out of his hand, growing rapidly against the wind.
Rumble!
The chaotic energy flow was pushed aside, and a majestic Divine Mountain, several miles high and exuding an aura of world-suppressing might, appeared in the Chaos.
On the mountainside, palaces and pavilions loomed indistinctly in the chaotic mist, and the light of the double innate formation flowed incessantly.
Yuan Wutian flickered, transforming into a stream of chaotic light, instantly entering the cave abode on the mountainside and landing steadily on the jade platform in the main hall of the palace.
He sat down cross-legged, his gaze penetrating the palace, looking out at the eternally churning chaotic energy flow beyond the hall, the corners of his mouth hooking into an arc filled with anticipation and fighting spirit.
"Chaos Sea-Suppressing Peak, move!"
Under the drive of his will, this enormous Divine Mountain trembled slightly, pushing aside the heavy chaotic energy flow, and began to move towards the depths of Chaos at a steady yet firm pace.
"Chaos world, here I come again!"
