Legend had it that Priest Pangu split the heavens and earth apart, but in the end, he perished and turned into all things. His left eye became the sun, his right eye became the moon, his hair and beard became the stars, his limbs became the four poles of the east, west, south, and north, his primordial spirit became the Three Pure Ones, and part of his Blood Essence became all things, while another part became the Twelve Witches and so on.
Among these legends, one of them said that Priest Pangu's spine became the pillar that supported the heavens, Mount Buzhou, and the spinal cord in his spine became the living soil of the Nine Heavens.
The living soil of the Nine Heavens could be used as a connate spiritual treasure. Just a small grain of it weighed 50,000 kilograms, and it could even expand with the wind. It had endless uses.
There was another legend related to the living soil of the Nine Heavens. According to legend, when Goddess Nüwa kneaded soil to create humans, the soil she used was the living soil of the living soil.
It was also because of this that humans were born with connate spiritual bodies, which allowed them to be close to the Heavenly Dao and gain the favor of the Heavenly Dao. In the end, the Heavenly Dao designated them as the protagonists of the world.
Ye Xuan did not know whether these legends were true or not, but judging from the legends, the small grain of soil in his hand really did bear some resemblance to the legendary living soil of the Nine Heavens.
However, according to the legends, the living soil of the Nine Heavens was earthy yellow in color, and its defense was unparalleled. Even the legendary Immortal Slaying Sword could do nothing to it.
However, the small grain of soil in his hand was silver in color, and it had previously been undetectable like any other ordinary grain of soil. If it was not for the supreme-grade connate spiritual treasure in his sea of consciousness, the Nine-Nine Soul-Dispersing Gourd, Ye Xuan would not have been able to find it in an ordinary pot no matter how powerful he was.
Although he guessed that this thing might be the same as the legendary living soil of the Nine Heavens, Ye Xuan was not too sure.
However, although he could not be sure that this thing was the living soil of the Nine Heavens, he was sure that it had an extraordinary origin.
Right, Ye Xuan suddenly thought of something else. Why would the Nine-Nine Soul-Dispersing Gourd have such a huge reaction to this seemingly small grain of soil?
For the time being, Ye Xuan thought of it as the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens. However, even if it was the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens, the Nine-Nine Soul Dispersing Gourd was a supreme-grade Connate spiritual treasure. How could it possibly sense the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens and have such a huge reaction? Even he was almost unable to suppress it.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind. Then, Ye Xuan suddenly thought of the legend of the Nine-Nine Soul Dispersing Gourd.
Legend has it that the Nine-nine Soul Dispersing Technique originated from a Primordial Spiritual Root in the west of Mount Buzhou, the Calabash Vine. There were seven calabashes on it. (Sounds familiar, Calabash Brothers?) The seven gourds belonged to I, Hongyun, Taiyi, Goddess Nvywa, Tongtian, and Primeval Lord of Heaven.
After the seven bottle gourds were plucked, the bottle gourd vines also withered. The others did not pay much attention to it. However, in the end, Nuwa acted and collected the bottle gourd vines. That was unless she also collected the soil from which the bottle gourd vines grew, the Nine Heavens Lifesoil.
This was also the origin of the Nine Heavens Lifesoil and the Man-Making Divine Whip when Nuwa created humans.
However, when Ye Xuan thought of this legend, he did not suspect that the Nine Heavens Lifesoil in his hand was the same Goddess Nvywa had collected. Instead, he wondered if the Nine Heavens Lifesoil could repair the Nine-nine Soul Dispersing Gourd.
This was not Ye Xuan's imagination. If the Nine Heaven Living Soil had not been so useful to the Nine-nine Soul Dispersing Gourd, how could the Nine-nine Soul Dispersing Gourd have caused such a huge commotion after he had refined some of it?
Moreover, if the legend was true, and the bottle gourd vines that gave birth to the Nine-nine Soul Dispersing Gourd had once taken root on the Nine Heavens Lifesoil, then it was highly likely that his guess was the truth behind the Nine-nine Soul Dispersing Gourd's rampage.
Connate spiritual treasures were connate treasures that were born along with the Heavenly Dao. They contained a genuine Heavenly Dao law, so naturally, they were also connate spiritual treasures.
It was precisely because of this that the Nine-nine Soul Dispersing Gourd had such a rampage when it encountered the Nine Heavens Lifesoil that could repair it when it was destroyed.
However, even though he had this guess, Ye Xuan was not prepared to allow the Nine-nine Soul Dispersing Gourd to absorb the Nine Heavens Lifesoil to repair itself right now.
The reason for this was naturally because he had not completely refined the Nine-nine Soul Dispersing Gourd. After all, when the Nine-nine Soul Dispersing Gourd had been destroyed, he had spent an entire five years to refine 18 of the connate restrictions within it.
If the Nine-nine Soul Dispersing Gourd had not been destroyed, then Ye Xuan felt that he might not even be able to refine a single connate restriction within it even after five years.
After all, the Nine-nine Soul Dispersing Gourd was a supreme-grade connate spiritual treasure, and Ye Xuan's cultivation base was only at the True Immortal Realm. If it had not been for this coincidental encounter, he would not even have been able to touch a connate spiritual treasure, let alone a supreme-grade connate spiritual treasure.
Therefore, even though the Nine Heavens Lifesoil could repair the Nine-nine Soul Dispersing Gourd, Ye Xuan did not intend to use it right now. It would not benefit him at all at the moment, and it might even drag down his progress in refining the Nine-nine Soul Dispersing Gourd.
Looking at the Nine-nine Soul Dispersing Gourd that had turned into the size of a small mountain, Ye Xuan made a mental command for it to shrink. Then, he saw the Nine-nine Soul Dispersing Gourd that had turned into the size of a small mountain gradually shrink. In the end, it turned into a small grain of soil in his hand.
With a flip of his right hand, a small jade cauldron appeared in his hand. He tossed the small grain of soil into it, and then put it away.
After putting the jade cauldron away, Ye Xuan sensed the vitality aura that permeated the cave abode. He took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the stone couch, and started to cultivate.
Although the Celestial Core Power that the Nine-nine Soul Dispersing Soil had absorbed just now was not much, only about one-thousandth of the Celestial Core Power in his body, it had, after all, exhausted some Celestial Core Power. Moreover, the vitality aura that erupted from the Nine-nine Soul Dispersing Soil earlier was a rare treasure. Not only could the vitality aura within accelerate the recovery of the Celestial Core Power in his body, but it was also very beneficial to his cultivation.
One day later, after Ye Xuan had swallowed the spiritual energy and refined it, the vitality aura in the cave abode had been completely refined by him. Not only did it allow him to recover the Celestial Core Power that he had previously exhausted, but it also made him feel as though he had made a breakthrough in his cultivation base.
Ye Xuan had not expected that he would actually obtain the Nine-nine Soul Dispersing Soil, a treasure that was equivalent to a connate spiritual treasure, when he had originally only wanted to casually follow Lan Yu to broaden his horizons. It was really beyond his expectations.
Therefore, he decided to go back to the Red Leaf Valley to take a look. Perhaps, if he was lucky, he would be able to pick up some treasures.
Of course, he also knew that this was somewhat wishful thinking. How could there be so many treasures for him to pick up?
Even the son of Tiandao did not have such treatment, right?
Ye Xuan smiled and shook his head, shaking off the distracting thoughts in his mind. Then, with a mental command, he waved his right hand and removed the magic formation in the cave abode. Only then did he walk out …
