221: Chapter 221 Top-Tier Rewards

Jiang Changge sank his Divine Sense into the System panel, and the first thing that caught his eye was the familiar prompt.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in at the Nine-Orifice Stone Forest, activating a hundredfold critical strike.]

[Obtained one Heaven and Earth Spirit Embryo, obtained one supreme stone heart, obtained one insight into the Origin of the Immortal Path, obtained one Immortal-Grade mineral vein, obtained five chaos stone essences.]

Jiang Changge's gaze swept over the items one by one. Even though he was used to the System's generous handiwork, he couldn't help but secretly praise it in his heart at this moment.

The rewards of a hundredfold critical strike indeed never disappointed. This harvest was even more abundant than when he signed in at the Purple Bamboo Forest.

He focused his attention on the first reward.

On the System panel, a palm-sized phantom of the spiritual fetus emerged. It was amber all over, and a curled-up human outline was faintly visible inside.

Although the outline was small, its facial features were distinct, its limbs were complete, and its entire body was surrounded by a faint golden halo, emitting an extremely pure aura of life.

[Heaven and Earth Spirit Embryo: An Innate spiritual entity nurtured by Heaven and Earth, containing a complete life imprint. It can be refined into an external Incarnation. Once the Incarnation is formed, it will share a mental connection with the host, capable of independent cultivation and combat, with a cultivation level that can reach up to the Red Dust Immortal Realm.]

[The initial cultivation of the spiritual fetus is at the Mortal Realm, requiring the host to nurture it with their own essence blood and spiritual energy over a long period to grow. Note: The quality of this spiritual fetus is Supreme Top-Grade. Once nurtured to Major Achievement, the Incarnation's combat power can reach the Peak of Red Dust Immortal.]

Jiang Changge's eyebrows twitched slightly. An external Incarnation was indeed a truly good thing.

He had read about external Incarnations in the *Creation Sutra*; it was a trump card more precious than any Magic Treasure.

An Incarnation capable of independent cultivation and combat was equivalent to having an extra life, as well as an additional powerhouse of the same realm fighting alongside him.

Moreover, the quality of this Heaven and Earth Spirit Embryo rewarded by the System had reached Supreme Top-Grade, with its upper limit pointing directly to the Peak of Red Dust Immortal.

Although it was only at the Mortal Realm initially and required essence blood and spiritual energy to nurture, for him, this was merely a matter of time.

He had the enlightenment tree, the xuanqing liquid, and the immortal spiritual energy in the Kunlun Small World that was so dense it had almost condensed into substance. His speed of nurturing the spiritual fetus would definitely far exceed that of ordinary Cultivators.

He shifted his gaze to the second reward. A projection of a fist-sized Stone Heart appeared on the System panel.

The Stone Heart was mysterious black all over, its surface covered with golden patterns. These patterns intertwined and wound around each other, faintly forming an extremely complex design that looked like an inverted mountain Peak, or a waterfall cascading from the sky. Each pattern flowed slowly, as if it were a living thing.

[supreme stone heart: A core treasure condensed from the Origin power of the Nine-Orifice Stone Forest, the essence nurtured by the stone forest over hundreds of millions of years.]

[Integrating this Stone Heart into the Sect's earth veins can greatly improve the quality of the Sect's Spiritual Veins, causing them to contain the unique petrification Law power of the stone forest. Sect Disciples cultivating here can comprehend the Dao of Stone, increasing the cultivation speed of Earth-attribute Cultivation Techniques by fifty percent, with a certain chance to comprehend the stone forest resonance Divine Ability.]

"The Law of Petrification," Jiang Changge murmured.

This was an extremely rare Law power. It was not within the Five Elements, yet it was inextricably linked to the Dao of Earth.

The stone pillars in the Nine-Orifice Stone Forest had stood tall despite hundreds of millions of years of wind and rain, relying precisely on the blessing of this petrification Law.

If this supreme stone heart could be integrated into the earth veins of the Kunlun Small World, the overall strength of the Sect's Disciples would surely rise to another level.

He continued to look down. The third reward was a fist-sized, pale-golden ball of light. Inside the ball, countless fine runes could be faintly seen flowing, colliding, and fusing.

Every collision burst forth with extremely subtle yet brilliant light, as if an entire starry sky had been compressed within this tiny space.

[Insight into the Origin of the Immortal Path: Contains a complete strand of the Immortal Path's Law Origin, transformed from the remaining lifelong insights of an ancient Immortal Venerable after their fall. The host can refine it to greatly enhance their comprehension of the Immortal Path's Laws and shorten the time required to break through to the Red Dust Immortal.]

[Note: This insight has an extremely high compatibility with the *Creation Sutra* cultivated by the host. After refinement, it can fill in the missing parts regarding the Immortal Path's Laws in the *Creation Sutra*, allowing the host to control a portion of the Immortal Path's power in advance during the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.]

This reward held Jiang Changge's gaze the longest. When he had previously tried to refine that Jade Slip of insight into the immortal path, he was blocked by an invisible barrier due to his insufficient cultivation. The System's prompt at that time was that the time had not yet come.

Now, this insight into the Origin of the Immortal Path seemed different from the previous Jade Slip based on the description. It was more like a key, a key that could open the gates of the Immortal Realm in advance.

If he could refine it, he might not need to wait until the Perfection of Undergoing Tribulation to master a portion of the Immortal Path's power in advance.

For him, who was about to enter the Xuanhuang Fortress, this was undoubtedly a huge source of confidence.

The fourth reward was a phantom of a crystal-clear mineral vein. Inside the vein, countless fine golden spots of light could be faintly seen flowing slowly, like an underground river of flowing gold.

Each of those spots of light emitted extremely pure immortal spiritual energy, several times purer than the Top-Grade Spirit Stones piled up in Jiang Changge's System warehouse.

[Immortal-Grade mineral vein: A complete ancient Immortal-Grade mineral vein, containing a large amount of Immortal-Grade Spirit Stones and associated immortal ores. It can be placed beneath the Sect to continuously produce Immortal-Grade Spirit Stones, greatly increasing the concentration of the Sect's Spiritual Qi, and accelerating the cultivation speed of the Sect's Disciples.]

[At the core of the mineral vein, there are also three Immortal-Grade spiritual essences, which can be used to refine immortal-grade Magical Artifacts or upgrade Heaven Rank Top-Grade Magical Artifacts to the immortal grade.]

An Immortal-Grade mineral vein. Jiang Changge nodded slightly; this thing had come at just the right time.

He had previously placed immortal springs and Immortal Stones in the Kunlun Small World, and the concentration of Spiritual Qi was already steadily rising.

Now, with the addition of this Immortal-Grade mineral vein, the Kunlun Small World was one step closer to transforming into a true immortal realm.

Moreover, the three Immortal-Grade spiritual essences at the core of the mineral vein could be used to upgrade the grades of the xuanchen whisk and the nine-turn xuanhuang pagoda.

The final reward was five fist-sized grayish-black stone eggs. Their surfaces were rough, without any luster, and they leaked no spiritual energy fluctuations whatsoever.

However, if one carefully probed with Divine Sense, they would find colorless light faintly flowing inside the stone eggs. The light was extremely weak, yet it emitted an aura even more ancient and pure than the Origin of the Immortal Path.

[chaos stone essence: A treasure condensed from the remaining Chaos essence from the dawn of creation, containing extremely pure Chaos Origin power. It can be used to upgrade the grade of any Magic Treasure, Cultivation Technique, Physique, or Bloodline, up to the Chaos level. Note: chaos stone essence is extremely rare. Using all five together can upgrade a Supreme Magic Treasure to a half-step Immortal Artifact, or greatly enhance the grade of the *Creation Sutra* cultivated by the host, taking it a step further.]
