Chapter 613: The Origin of Chaos, the Placenta of Heaven and Earth
After flying a long enough distance, Ye Changsheng shook off the seven-headed owl and looked back. The spiritual world behind him was still vast and boundless.
The light curtain still had no end in sight, but at least Ye Changsheng could see a slight arc from it.
Under the vast light curtain, a small black dot was getting closer and closer. Ye Changsheng knew that it was the seven-headed owl that had just appeared.
This true spirit that can only destroy a country and a clan is wandering around the spiritual world. If it enters the spiritual world, it will be a disaster.
Looking to the other side, Ye Changsheng passed through the countless tiny bubbles on the light curtain and finally saw something different.
At the end of the light curtain, a dark ball of light was slowly approaching, and it looked as if it was about to collide with the light curtain.
Looking closely, the dark ball of light is also an interface, huge and boundless, with no end in sight.
Inside the boundary membrane, there was a faint breath that Ye Changsheng felt was familiar.
"Demon world?"
After taking a few glances, Ye Changsheng immediately flew away and quickly headed for his destination.
He didn't dare to stay in such a place for long. After all, according to his memory, there were quite a few true spirits wandering around the spirit world.
With his current strength, facing these true spirits would undoubtedly be a death sentence. He would not be able to fight against them at all without advancing to the Mahayana stage.
While flying, Ye Changsheng observed the bubbles around him and used these interfaces to anchor his position.
In this way, after flying for more than ten years, when the spiritual world behind him had turned into a ball of light as big as a human head from afar, he finally reached his destination.
This is a vast expanse of void. There is nothing around, nothing can be seen, and there is no interface of any kind.
However, after Ye Changsheng flew forward for more than half a month, he suddenly felt as if he had passed through an invisible barrier.
The next moment, a ball of chaotic light suddenly appeared in front of him.
From a distance, the ball of light looked like a huge egg!
This was also the first time that Ye Changsheng saw the appearance of the birth of the new world. It was a giant egg, as if there was a living creature growing inside it. It looked quite strange.
As he gradually floated closer to the giant egg, he unsurprisingly felt a strong repulsive force.
A ray of light lit up on his chest, and the sacred bird Mulan flew out from the ancient bronze lamp, transforming into a huge body. She looked at the giant egg, her eyes full of surprise and excitement.
"That's it. This is the fetal membrane of heaven and earth, which envelops the new world and nurtures it. When the world is almost differentiated, this fetal membrane will differentiate into the sky and the earth."
"This fetal membrane of heaven and earth can only be torn apart by the power of the law!" said Mulan Shengqin.
Without her saying more, Ye Changsheng also saw the horror of this thing. The protective power of the new world is very strong.
Before the fetal membrane of heaven and earth differentiated into the sky and the earth, its main function was to protect the entire world, so it had extremely strong defensive capabilities. Without sufficient means, don't even think about getting in.
There was a flash of light in his hand, and a dark green sword blade appeared in a flash. Ye Changsheng signaled Mulan Shengqin to return to the ancient lamp, and then raised the sword with both hands. All the magic power in his body surged into it frantically, and a terrifying destructive force suddenly rose from above his head.
A dark green light burst out, with countless runes flowing in it. Then, Ye Changsheng swung his sword in the direction of the giant egg.
A crescent-shaped blade of light appeared and floated towards the layer of light film. After colliding with each other, there was a "buzz" sound, and a terrifying wave spread out.
After a moment of stalemate, the sword blade slowly moved forward with an unstoppable momentum and entered the light film.
Seeing this, Ye Changsheng did not hesitate to use up all his magic power and slashed out with the sword again. This sword completely cut through the light film. Soon, a channel similar to a space crack appeared in front of Ye Changsheng.
The pair of phoenix wings behind him flashed immediately, and after a flash of silver light, they disappeared.
The next moment, Ye Changsheng found himself in a new world. Looking around, he could not see much color. Everywhere was chaos. There were no mountains, rivers, or blue sky and white clouds. This world had not even evolved these most basic things.
There were streams of air surging in all directions, and the spiritual energy was incredibly thick. One could clearly sense the fluctuations of various laws, as if one could touch the most fundamental principles of the world by simply stretching out one's hand.
"Just as that true spirit predicted, this world is in a state of ignorance and infancy. The placenta of heaven and earth that gave birth to those true spirits should have almost appeared!" The Mulan Holy Bird flew out, looked around, and said excitedly.
Things like the placenta of heaven and earth are obscured by the secrets of heaven, and it is impossible to calculate them by other means. Therefore, if the two want to find a placenta and drill into it to seize the fortune of the true spirit, they can only use the clumsy method to search the world bit by bit.
Fortunately, Ye Changsheng has gold-eating bugs in his hands. A cultivator at the peak of the fusion stage can mobilize about three to five thousand mature gold-eating bugs.
With Ye Changsheng's spiritual awareness that is sixteen times that of a peak fusion state, he can mobilize about fifty thousand to sixty thousand mature gold-eating bugs at the same time. If all of them are released, the speed of searching for the placenta of heaven and earth can be increased significantly.
"Brother Ye, there should be no danger in this world. I will act alone and don't bother you to help me find it!" Mulan Shengqin said with his body floating.
Ye Changsheng nodded and said, "I hope that next time I see the fairy, you will have transformed into a true spirit!"
Mulan Shengqin smiled brightly upon hearing this: "I also wish Brother Ye a smooth advancement to the Mahayana stage!"
After saying that, she flew away with the ancient bronze lamp and began to search for the placenta that gave birth to the true spirit in this world.
Ye Changsheng immediately slapped the spirit beast ring, and a burst of golden light whizzed out, turning into a sky full of ferocious beetles, flying in all directions.
As the gold-eating bugs flew out, Ye Changsheng gradually had a general understanding of the outline of this world. This world did not seem to be very big, perhaps even smaller than the human world where Ye Changsheng was born.
Of course, this does not mean that this world is inferior to the human world. Not to mention that judging from the fluctuations of the laws, its strength level is much higher than that of the human world. More importantly, it is not very big now because the heaven and earth have not yet evolved.
When the fetal membrane of heaven and earth unfolds in the future, the area of the earth will inevitably expand greatly, and by then this world will inevitably extend very vastly.
Ye Changsheng controlled the gold-eating bugs to search carefully in this world. This went on for about six or seven years. Suddenly one day, after one of his gold-eating bugs rushed through a fog, it suddenly discovered a huge jade-white egg with a diameter of about several thousand feet.
"True Spirit Placenta!"
Ye Changsheng was delighted and quickly disappeared from the spot.
He quickly recalled all the gold-eating bugs, and at the same time he quickly rushed to the area, looking at the huge white true spirit egg with some excitement.
Although it is an egg, its shell is not made of hard keratin, but a soft membrane covered with various strange patterns. People feel dizzy after taking a look at it.
"The laws of heaven and earth are intertwined. It is indeed the placenta of heaven and earth. I wonder how much the difficulty of comprehending the laws will be reduced when I enter here!" Ye Changsheng thought in shock.
He moved closer and pulled with both hands, easily tearing open the membrane. After careful observation, he found that the membrane was actually formed by a layer of air currents converging together.
"Chaotic air currents? They first interweave into a curtain, then liquefy, and finally solidify into an eggshell, from which a true spiritual consciousness is nurtured?"
Ye Changsheng thought secretly in his heart, he probably understood how these true spirits were born.
The laws of this world are intertwined in a certain place, and then a large chaotic airflow is generated. These chaotic airflows evolve into true spirits or mysterious things. During the gestation process, the laws intertwined here will also enter the egg and be mastered by the newly born true spirit.
The true spiritual origin that he had obtained in the Qilin's nest before was actually this kind of chaotic airflow. However, that trace of chaotic airflow was obviously not on the same level as the one that was bred here when the world was first created.
After Ye Changsheng tore open the membrane, his figure flashed quickly and he immediately entered the space inside the membrane.
Then, the air flow behind him surged, and the membrane squirmed a few times before returning to its original state.
This membrane wraps around an oval-shaped space filled with chaotic air currents. At the very center, there is a ball of liquid the size of a human head, which is suspended in the space inside the placenta, emitting nine-color dreamy light.
"Consciousness is about to be born!" Ye Changsheng thought with a chill in his heart the moment he saw this ball of nine-colored light.
When consciousness is born in the placenta, trying to seize its fortune at that time would be tantamount to going against the will of heaven, and would undoubtedly be strongly rejected by this world.
After looking around for a few times, Ye Changsheng didn't waste any more time and immediately flew forward and opened his mouth wide to suck in the nine-colored liquid, which was the size of a human head, like a dragon drinking water.
"boom!"
Ye Changsheng only felt as if a sun exploded inside his body. A surge of pure, unimaginable energy surged, almost bursting his body.
Fortunately, with his true spirit level body, it was not difficult for him to withstand the impact of this force. He quickly practiced his skills and began to refine this energy.
The world became quiet. Ye Changsheng sat cross-legged in the giant egg with a solemn expression. Nine-colored light appeared on his body from time to time.
Countless chaotic air currents in the giant dome kept rushing into his body, causing his aura to rise step by step and become stronger and stronger.
The giant egg that had been lying there quietly for who knows how many years suddenly moved, expanding and contracting, as if it was breathing, as if it had life.
But after careful observation, you will find that although the outer shell composed of chaotic airflow is expanding and shrinking, the amplitude of the expansion is far less than the amplitude of the contraction, which causes it to slowly collapse inward.
The speed is not fast, it can even be said to be quite slow, but the collapse process is extremely firm.
As the true spirit placenta continued to shrink, the aura emanating from its interior became increasingly powerful. Almost with every expansion and contraction, the aura inside would become stronger.
Time passed slowly, and after a few years the giant egg shrank to only a few hundred feet.
At this moment, inside it, a man with his eyes closed and a solemn expression was sitting cross-legged. Chaotic air currents lifted up his body and made him float in the air.
The streams of air penetrated into his body, into his internal organs, into his bones, into his meridians, and seeped into every inch of his flesh and blood. As they flowed, a hint of texture gradually appeared on this body, making it appear increasingly powerful.
An indescribable sense of oppression emanated from this body, as if the person sitting here could poke a hole in the sky and earth with just a slight stretch of his hand. It was a terrifying force that was hard to believe.
And above the head of this body, a Nascent Soul with colorful light shining all over its body was floating. It made the same posture , with its eyes closed, sitting cross-legged in the air.
Its mouth and nose were open, and chaotic air currents continuously rushed in, as if it had sunk into a bottomless pit. Once it entered, there was no more movement.
As more and more chaotic airflow was swallowed into the body, the light shining on the Nascent Soul became more and more intense, and the skin all over the body seemed to become more solid, with a distinct texture, giving people the illusion that no matter what means were used, it would be difficult to harm the Nascent Soul.
Above the head of this Nascent Soul, runes continuously fell from the chaotic light film and sank into its body. As the runes were absorbed, a look of intoxication appeared on the Nascent Soul's face, as if it was immersed in the most wonderful state in the world.
In the void, immortal sounds rang out, and in between them seemed to be mixed with the sounds of Buddhist chanting and Taoist shouting, like the sound of Huangzhong and Dalu, which made people intoxicated, as if just by listening to it, they could understand all the principles in this world.
The celestial music is so ethereal that people can't help but want to explore it carefully, but when they listen carefully, they can't hear anything all of a sudden, as if everything they just heard was an illusion.
As time went on, the chubby baby kept devouring the chaotic airflow in the space inside the egg, like a tireless Pi Xiu, accepting everything that came. No matter how much chaotic air came, it would be swallowed up in the end.
If someone stood outside and watched from afar, witnessing the whole process, they would find that the breath of life coming from the egg was becoming more vigorous and stronger.
From the beginning when it merely gave people a sense of oppression comparable to that of an ordinary Mahayana, to later when it became comparable to a real spirit, comparable to a Qilin, to now, if someone said that there was a real dragon hidden inside this egg, I think no one would object.
