Chapter 0865: First-Class Spiritual Vein

After returning to Mount Hailuo, Huang Long entered the Sacred Cauldron Space.
“I wonder what treasures this Spatial Artifact of the Nine Separations Demon Ancestor holds?” Upon entering the Sacred Cauldron Space, Huang Long took out the Spatial Artifact of the Nine Separations Demon Ancestor.
He had obtained it after killing the Nine Separations Demon Ancestor. Originally, this Spatial Artifact was imbued with the demon ancestor’s divine consciousness. It wasn’t easy for Huang Long to destroy that consciousness and open the artifact, but now that the demon ancestor was dead and its consciousness gone, Huang Long quickly unlocked it.
“This is an Innate Divine Pill?!” When Huang Long’s consciousness entered the Spatial Artifact, he saw a pile of Innate Divine Pills in the first layer!
There were probably millions of these Innate Divine Pills!
“Great, I’ve made a fortune! As expected, a semi-saint is truly wealthy! This Spatial Artifact of the Nine Separations Demon Ancestor contains so many Innate Divine Pills!” Huang Long was overjoyed.
Killing the Nine Separations Demon Ancestor had consumed millions of Innate Divine Pills, yet now he had obtained millions more—truly a huge gain!
However, considering that the demon ancestor had lived for two eras and accumulated treasures over billions of years, it was normal to have millions of Innate Divine Pills.
“I wonder what’s in the second layer?!” Huang Long’s consciousness entered the second layer.
Apart from millions of Innate Divine Pills, the first layer contained nothing else.
“These are Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure Artifacts!” Upon reaching the second layer, Huang Long discovered three artifacts, all on par with Brucci’s Phoenix Fire Sword.
Although Huang Long wasn’t particularly interested in Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure Artifacts, they still represented a significant fortune!
With these three, plus the Nine Heavens Lightning Spear obtained from killing Fei Li, that made four in total!
The first layer had Innate Divine Pills, the second layer had Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure Artifacts—what was in the third layer? When Huang Long entered the third layer, he saw countless crystal stones and divine iron piled up before him—endless piles.
It was probably as large as a whole Hongmeng City!
“Hm?! Those are Innate Divine Treasures! Actual Innate Divine Treasures!” Initially, Huang Long hadn’t paid much attention, as though these crystal stones and divine iron were valuable, they paled in comparison to the treasures within the Sacred Cauldron.
But in one corner, he suddenly spotted several crystal iron mines emitting a bright glow. Unlike other ores, these mines were surrounded by a faint gas—precisely Innate Energy.
“Great! With these Innate Divine Treasures, my core artifact for the myriad realms will become even more solid!” Huang Long was secretly delighted.
The core artifact was like a human’s physical body, while its rank corresponded to a human’s cultivation level.

The Myriad Worlds Artifact becomes more solid the more innate divine artifacts it incorporates. By then, even if it doesn’t evolve into a Supreme Dao Artifact, it will likely be no weaker than an ordinary Supreme Dao Artifact. This is similar to the Yellow Dragon, who possessed the Primordial Dragon Body; during his reign, his physical body was no weaker than those of some supreme gods. The Yellow Dragon waved his hands, causing thousands of crystal iron ores to fly out and be inserted into the Myriad Worlds Artifact. He then used the Sacred Cauldron Formation to refine them and integrate them into the artifact. Not all innate divine artifacts can be fused into the Myriad Worlds Artifact—some materials are incompatible—so the Yellow Dragon selected only a few thousand suitable ones. After incorporating these artifacts, the Myriad Worlds Artifact began to vibrate with sound, its light growing brighter. The Yellow Dragon, connected through his life force, could sense it gradually solidifying once again. The thirty-three divine artifacts within the Myriad Worlds Artifact, along with the Dragon Gate Artifact, were all changing slowly. “What will be on the fourth layer?” The Yellow Dragon grew even more eager. When he entered the fourth layer, he found it completely empty; at first glance, there were only a few rivers flowing across its landmass. “No, these aren’t rivers—they’re actually Hongmeng Spirit Veins!” The Yellow Dragon exclaimed in surprise upon seeing them. Hongmeng Spirit Veins! During the competition on the rooftop of Hongmeng City, while in the Hongmeng Hall, he had discovered a Hongmeng Spirit Vein suppressed by the gods below. Each Hongmeng Spirit Vein takes countless ages to form and is extremely rare in the universe. “I never expected this Nine Separations Demon Ancestor’s spatial artifact to contain five Hongmeng Spirit Veins! A Half-Saint truly is a Half-Saint! These five must be first-class spirit veins, far superior to the one suppressed beneath the Hongmeng Hall!” The Yellow Dragon was overjoyed. The one beneath the Hongmeng Hall was probably only at the peak of second class, not even reaching first class! In the universe’s three thousand great worlds, spirit veins are ranked from lowest to highest as six tiers: second class, first class, king class, supreme class, and sacred class. A first-class spirit vein is equivalent to 100 million innate divine pills! 100 million innate divine pills! What kind of concept is that? As for the king class, it’s even more terrifying—10 billion innate divine pills! And the supreme class? One trillion! A full trillion! As for the sacred class, it can no longer be measured in innate divine pills—sacred class spirit veins are even more precious than ordinary Supreme Dao Artifacts achieved through enlightenment! For someone like the Yellow Dragon, who has reached Half-Saint status, ordinary spiritual energy absorbed through cultivation is not very effective, as innate divine pills contain too little vital energy and spiritual energy. But spirit veins are different!

Generally speaking, the powerful figures among the major forces in the Hongmeng Great World use spiritual veins for cultivation, drawing in their spiritual energy to temper their bodies and comprehend the laws of heaven and earth contained within those veins. Spiritual veins that have taken countless ages to form usually embody these laws of heaven and earth. Huang Long even learned from the books left by the Hongmeng Holy King that when one reaches the peak of a Half-Saint and seeks to ascend to the realm of the Immortal Hunyuan, having a sacred-grade spiritual vein can double the success rate! Even a Half-Saint using a sacred-grade spiritual vein can see their cultivation speed increase several times over! “Great! With these five first-grade spiritual veins, I have enough for a hundred million years of cultivation. Moreover, when I break through to a new era, I won’t have to worry about insufficient vital energy!” Huang Long rejoiced. Every time a Half-Saint breaks through to a new realm, their body and soul undergo changes, requiring vast amounts of vital energy to sustain them. Initially, Huang Long was concerned that even the divine pills stored in the Holy Cauldron might not be enough, but now he no longer had to worry. The spatial artifact of the Nine Separations Demon Ancestor only had four layers. Yet, the wealth in these four layers made Huang Long incredibly rich, especially the five first-grade spiritual veins in the fourth layer! Huang Long reached out with his palm into the void to grasp those five first-grade spiritual veins, but suddenly his hands sank as he was unable to lift them! “So heavy! These first-grade spiritual veins are incredibly heavy! It seems that the power contained in each one is comparable to that of a late-stage Divine King!” Huang Long was shocked inwardly. “Grab them!” Huang Long ordered sternly, channeling all his magical power, and soon the five first-grade spiritual veins were lifted by him. Had he not already broken through to become a Half-Saint, he likely wouldn’t have been able to take them at all. Once the five first-grade spiritual veins were seized by Huang Long, the seal of the Nine Separations Demon Ancestor was broken, and five surging forces shot into the sky.
