Spirit Vessel-Chapter 1252: Lost Pearl Primal World

Ancestral Tree World resided at the south border of West Bull near the primal ocean. The mountains towered higher than the heaven; each rock was as old as could be. This was paradise for botanical entities.

A scaled tree with flames issued the roars of qilin. In another area, thousands of flowers had lightning coursing through them. In the center was a meditating woman who opened her eyes for a second to see Feiyun before closing them.

“That’s Boltflower Ancestor, a renowned demi-saint who had listened to Wutong Ancestor’s dao lectures before.” The colossal tree named Guji brought Feiyun to an ancient mountain range.

Every flower and plant here was at the pseudo-saint level.

“A place preserved since Time Immemorial, the number of experts here far exceeds any external estimations.” Feiyun said.

Guji smiled and said: “You are the first human to be invited to our divine peak. We do not care about outsiders’ opinions, our focus is to have a safe place to live instead of competing for resources.”

“Yes, demon plants do not need medicines or spirit ores, just absorbing worldly energy is enough.” Feiyun said.

“Not quite, Brother Feng, we also give back many things to the earth.” Guji said.

“There’s one thing I’m unsure of. Since plant demons don’t use the same resources, why not directly live in others’ territories?” Feiyun asked.

“Why did Emperor Xuanyuan lead the humans out of demons’ territories and start dynasties?” Guji asked.

“I understand.” Feiyun responded.

“We’re here.” Guji smiled.

They landed on a cliff with clouds and smoke everywhere. His heavenly gaze was not enough to see the bottom.

“Bam!” A black root with an old face climbed up the root.

“Greetings, ancestor.” Guji said.

“Greetings, Wutong Ancestor.” Feiyun bowed. freёnovelkiss.com

Just this root alone possessed incredible strength. Wutong Ancestor was a saint without needing a human form.

“Feng Feiyun, I knew you would come here after breaking the curse. Guji, you may go.” Wutong Ancestor spoke.

Guji bowed for the second time before leaving the cliff.

“Please guide me, senior.” Feiyun said.

The root transformed into a humanoid form but not quite a human. It was still made of wood and bark along with tendrils.

“Let us start from the beginning. Do you know the name of this world?” Wutong Ancestor asked.

“Yes, West Bull, or to be exact, the Nine Continents.” Feiyun said respectfully.

The saint shook his head and said: “Those were only the floating continents, not even one-tenth of this great world. Many spots are under the boundless oceans, not even saints can fully explore it.”

Feiyun was emotional but didn’t question him since he was the greatest wisdom master alive.

“There are more aquatic beings than those on the surface. We have Primal to the west, Kun Peng to the south, Timeless to the east, and Boundless to the north. Certain creatures in these oceans are more frightening than dragons and phoenixes.”

“There was a phrase describing the world once, nine continents and eighty-one oceans. Its name was Lost Pearl. The so-called nine continents were just islands on the surface.”

“Lost Pearl.” Feiyun realized he was just a frog under the well.

“Countless stars formed a galaxy around it, culminating in a region known as Lost Pearl Primal World. However, it is just one of many in this universe. The invaders that you know of are from seven primal worlds nearby.”

“Why must they invade and why the long wait, three kalpas already?” Feiyun asked.

“We can discuss this matter later, let’s talk about the half-demons first. You know that heavenly laws differ depending on the region, right? This shapes the land and the living beings, some more drastic than others, and not just regarding cultivation.”

“Yes, you’re referring to the dragons and phoenixes.” Feiyun said.

The saint nodded: “West Bull was not initially here but was shifted at least fifty thousand immortal steps after being slammed by a spirit vessel. This led to the dragons only having males and phoenixes with only females.”

“Haven’t they thought about venturing out to the ocean for a more suitable place?” Feiyun asked.

“At the end of the calamity was an extinction of the saints and all races ran to West Bull. It didn’t take long before all female dragons died, the same for male phoenixes. Both races thought they were cursed by the invaders. However, a sage from the dragons was wise and came up with a different method, using vitality and blood to form eggs. It seemed simple but was complex beyond imagination. It took the surviving saints numerous attempts to save their race.”

“This method became the norm and they stopped worrying about more suitable areas. Moreover, to maintain the status quo, those who tried to find the original lands were considered traitors.”

“My mother was born through this process?” Feiyun asked.

“She was a special egg, one left behind before Time Immemorial.” The saint said.

“Half-demons are also weakened by the heavenly laws.” Feiyun commented.

“This was unrelated to the shift. Half-demons in West Bull before Time Immemorial couldn’t reach Heaven’s Emergence either since they were considered taboo existences by the laws. However, there was a particular land suitable for them. The cultivation speed there was monstrous so the inhabitants became stronger than dragons and phoenixes. Southrich was the name, also one of the nine continents. Half of its inhabitants were half-demons and in terms of power, it ranked far above Westbull. However, it sank to the bottom of Primal Ocean at the end of the war.”

“Was there a reason for their success with cultivation?” Feiyun asked.

“Yes, Saint Nuwa used her body to change the heavenly dao. The laws became dense enough for half-demons to become saints, let alone Heaven’s Emergence cultivators.” The saint nodded.
