The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

Ten years later, Wang Shu finished comprehending the fragments of creation. Looking at Wei Chen, she looked extremely unnatural, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, as if she was too ashamed to speak.

Wei Chen hadn't entered deep seclusion, and he was fully aware of Wang Shu's shy expression. He chuckled to himself.

He opened his eyes and smiled warmly, "We cultivators are not concerned with formalities. There's no need to be polite with me, just ask for whatever you want."

Wang Shu blushed and said softly, "I wish to borrow the Five Elements spiritual materials."

"Ha! I told you not to be so polite with me." Wei Chen smiled, then said seriously, "You should know that although the five elements of innate spiritual materials are enough, they are not the limit. If other spiritual materials are added, the innate Dao will be even more perfect, and the level it produces will be much higher."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shu said, seemingly both annoyed and resentful, "You already guessed it?"

"No!" Wei Chen didn't want to leave a bad impression, so he waved his hand and said, "Do you need my help?"

Seeing this, Wang Shu knew in her heart that Wei Chen was doing it on purpose, but she didn't pursue it any further.

He took out the Innate Daoist Elixir and the piece of spiritual jade, and said, "Thank you for your trouble, fellow Daoist!"

"Tsk tsk..." Wei Chen pretended to be envious and jealous, and said, "The value of the innate Dao is no less than that of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. With the addition of (Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essence), it probably won't take more than a few Yuanhui to nurture something comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure."

He paused, then said sourly, "If I were to add my own top-grade innate spiritual materials, it would be possible to nurture a low-grade innate treasure in a short period of time."

Wang Shu gave him a reproachful look and said, "If you want it, then feel free to take it."

"Hehe..." Wei Chen chuckled. "Do you think these are suitable?"

Nine Luminaries Burning Crystal, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Limitless Heavy Iron, Innate Mysterious Iron, and so on... all kinds, no less than twenty items.

Wang Shu watched with fervor, feeling deeply moved and also marveling at the vastness of Wei Chen's treasure trove.

She pursed her red lips and smiled, "Why are you so kind to me, fellow Daoist?"

Wei Chen was taken aback, caught off guard by Wang Shu's abrupt question.

Wang Shu stared intently into Wei Chen's eyes, trying to discern some answer.

She had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but she was afraid of hurting their friendship, so she kept putting it off until now.

Something unusual must be going on; Wei Chen's care for her was beyond her comprehension.

"Could it be that I've stayed on Taiyin Star for too long, and the world has changed?" Wang Shu wondered to herself. "Impossible..."

No deity would be willing to lend the most precious treasure of Yin and Yang to someone.

They would never pass on their foundation in Taoist cultivation to others.

It's even more impossible to send such a precious gift with such enthusiasm.

Wei Chen hesitated, knowing he couldn't reveal the truth. Wang Shu was aloof and quiet, and very shy. If he told her he was interested in her and she agreed, that would be fine. But if she rejected him, it would be difficult to see her again.

After thinking for a moment, he feigned compassion and said, "Ferocious beasts run rampant, brutally slaughtering all living beings in the primordial world. Countless races perished as a result, and gods disappeared."

Wei Chen squeezed his reddened eyes and sighed, "As a member of the primordial world, I am unable to save all living beings from calamity. I feel ashamed..."

At this point, Wei Chen revealed his true feelings, grabbed Wang Shu's small hand, and said sincerely, "I hope that more supreme beings will emerge in the prehistoric world to fight against the ferocious beasts and restore a bright and clear world to the prehistoric world."

Wang Shu withdrew her hand, her eyelids twitching incessantly. Wei Chen's words made a lot of sense, but she didn't believe a word of them.

If Wei Chen truly cares about the common people, then what is he doing here now?

Although she didn't know Wei Chen's purpose, Wang Shu was certain that Wei Chen hadn't plotted against her.

Although her Taiyin star is auspicious, it's not worth Wei Chen scheming against. Or rather, Taiyin star has nothing to offer him.

Wei Chen has revealed so many treasures. Once outsiders find out, no matter how strong he is, he probably won't have a place in the prehistoric world.

This is just the tip of the iceberg for Wei Chen; it's something Taiyin Xing can't compare to.

A guy with such a large fortune would never do something so harmful to himself and others unless he was extremely bored.

Although Wang Shu didn't know why Wei Chen was so good to her, she didn't press him for an answer since he wasn't willing to say.

Without exposing Wei Chen's lie, he forced a smile and said, "Let's begin! Thank you for your trouble, fellow Daoist!"

"It's nothing!" Wei Chen waved his hand with a smile. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Wang Shu didn't ask any more questions, otherwise he might have given himself away.

Little did he know that Wang Shu already knew about his lie, but she didn't expose him just to save him face.

…………

Neither of them knew how to refine artifacts, so they could only use the most primitive and lengthy method to nurture the treasure.

It condenses the true fire of the laws, refines spiritual materials, and constructs a bridge between heaven and earth, allowing the innate Daoist to autonomously absorb the laws of heaven and earth.

The Innate Dao Seed belongs to the category of magical treasure seeds. It only needs to be infused with the laws of heaven and earth to grow autonomously.

As long as the owner does not add spiritual materials indiscriminately, there will be no damage or explosion.

For this reason, Wang Shu spent a full ten years making predictions, fearing that even the slightest accident might occur.

A year later, seeing that the situation was settled, Wei Chen took out a large number of innate spiritual treasures, as many as twenty or thirty pieces, which were colorful and dazzling.

This startled Wang Shu, who asked in surprise, "What does this mean?"

"Hehe..." Wei Chen chuckled smugly and said, "Refinement..."

Refining is a short-sighted approach, like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. It involves transplanting a magical treasure into another, making the first one more powerful and faster.

For the past ten years, Wei Chen has been searching for a way to shorten the time of the magical treasure without affecting its power.

After much thought, he realized that sacrificial refining was the best solution he could come up with.

Wang Shu opened her large cherry lips and small mouth, revealing her white and bright teeth, and her pink tongue was playfully jumping around.

Wei Chen looked at her with burning desire, wanting to rush forward and pamper her. But reason told him that now was not the time.

"Is it feasible?" Wang Shu asked, regaining her senses.

Wei Chen nodded and said, "This is the best method, it's absolutely feasible."

Wang Shu silently deduced in her mind that the Innate Dao was too important to her, and she dared not make a hasty decision.

After some rough deduction, Wang Shu's eyes were like stars in the night sky, bright and captivating.

He then said awkwardly, "That's not a good idea."

If they were truly refined, then this pile of innate spiritual treasures would become nothing more than scrap metal.

"It's nothing, just some innate magic treasures and low-grade innate spiritual treasures. If you feel bad about it, you can find some to return to me another day," Wei Chen said nonchalantly.

"Alright then..." Wang Shu thought about it and realized that this was the only option. They all wanted to hurry up and climb Buzhou Mountain and didn't want to waste any more time.

These spiritual treasures weren't particularly precious; with her current strength, she could easily find them in the primordial world. Therefore, Wang Shu stopped insisting.

Thousands of years later, the longsword hummed, its divine light soared into the sky, and its sharpness was fully revealed.

This is the third time already; the longsword will hum once every time it advances to a higher rank.

It has now advanced to a high-grade innate spiritual treasure. That pile of innate magic treasures has become a pile of useless junk.

"It's ready!" Wang Shu chuckled happily. The treasure had reached its final form and no longer needed further refinement; it would advance on its own.

Moreover, it is fully usable and its power is much greater than that of other innate top-grade spiritual treasures.

After all, this is an innate Dao treasure, refined with twenty or thirty innate spiritual treasures, its power far exceeding that of a high-grade innate spiritual treasure.

"Let's go then!"

After tidying themselves up, the two continued climbing Mount Buzhou.
