After successfully subduing the flood dragon, Zhao Gongming's mood became much better.
I finally have a cool mount in the Wilderness.
However, when he thought about it, during the Tribulation of the West, the mounts of the deities and Buddhas were all at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm. Moreover, Zhao Gongming was a pro-disciple of Jie School, so how could his mounts be inferior to those of Chan School and Buddhism?
The flood dragon had already sworn an oath and was willing to be his mount. He was considered one of them. Increasing the flood dragon's cultivation was equivalent to indirectly increasing his overall strength.
"What's your name?" Zhao Gongming asked after the flood dragon stood up.
"Old Master, Old Hei doesn't have a name.”The flood dragon's simple-minded Yi Xiao stroked his head and replied.
"Then I shall bestow you with a name.”
Zhao Gongming pinched his chin and began to think seriously.
Why don't I just call him Little Black?
Zhao Gongming pondered this in his heart, but he quickly rejected this name. Although this name was easy to remember, it sounded like the name of a cat or dog. It was not impressive enough.
"From now on, you will be called Long Jiu.”After thinking for a long time, Zhao Gongming finally thought of a name that sounded pretty good.
Flood Dragon was also a dragon, so it was naturally the best to use a dragon as a surname. Nine was the number of supreme beings, and Dragon Nine was the meaning of the emperor among dragons.
"Long Jiu thanks Old Master for bestowing the name.”Obviously, the flood dragon was quite satisfied with the name given by Zhao Gongming.
"Go and cultivate. Turn the merit in your body into cultivation as soon as possible.”Zhao Gongming instructed Long Jiu.
After Long Jiu went into seclusion to absorb the Merit Points, Zhao Gongming did not enter seclusion again because of his mental fatigue.
Of course, he was not idle either.
If he couldn't continue using merit to increase his cultivation, he could at least do something else, such as refining a Numinous Treasure.
The Sea Calming Pearl was a Connate Numinous treasure. There were 49 Connate Restrictions inside it. Earlier, due to his cultivation, Zhao Gongming had only refined six of them.
The more restrictions you refined, the higher the compatibility with the spiritual treasure, and the greater the power you could unleash.
These Numinous Treasures were born from the Heavens and Earth, and the prohibitions within them were all innate prohibitions formed by the Heavens and Earth. It was extremely difficult to refine them.
Zhao Gongming had obtained this Sea Calming Pearl for more than ten thousand years. In these ten thousand years, he had only refined six restrictions.
As for this Innate Restriction, the further one went, the harder it was to refine it.
It was said that even a Quasi-Sage would need tens of thousands of years to completely refine the 49 Connate Restrictions in the Connate Numinous treasure.
Zhao Gongming didn't have much time to waste. Although he planned to refine the restrictions in the Sea Calming Pearl, he didn't plan to rely on his own cultivation to do so.
Merit was a good thing. Many things that required time could be solved by spending some merit.
Zhao Gongming pulled out a lump of hundreds of thousands of merit points and threw it into the Sea Calming Pearl.
After the merit entered it, the quiet Numinous Treasure began to emit five-colored light. In the light, twenty-four beads floated in the air.
Zhao Gongming sat cross-legged and his primordial spirit left his body. He entered the Sea Calming Pearl and guided Wang Yang-like merit to attack the seventh Connate Seal.
Bang!
Every time the Merit Sea collided with the restriction, a terrifying energy ripple would be created. At the same time, the Sea Calming Pearl would tremble violently.
Under Zhao Gongming's relentless assault, cracks finally appeared on the sturdy restriction.
Buzz.
When the hundreds of thousands of merit points were completely used up, the seventh Innate Restriction of the Sea Calming Pearl completely collapsed.
As the seventh seal was broken, the connection between Zhao Gongming's Yuan Shen and the Sea Calming Pearl strengthened.
At the same time, the small dark world in the Sea Calming Pearl began to change.
After breaking through the seventh restriction, Zhao Gongming poured more merit into the Sea Calming Pearl and continued to break through the restriction.
500,000 merit points were used up, and the eighth Innate Seal was broken.
600,000 merit points were used up, and the ninth innate restriction was broken.
80 merit points were used up, and the 10th Connate Seal was broken.
The 100 merit points were used up, and the 11th Innate Seal was broken.
1.2 million merit points were used up, and the twelfth Innate Restriction was broken.
When the 16th Innate Restriction was broken, Zhao Gongming spent two million merit points just to break this Innate Restriction.
Thinking about this Sea Calming Pearl, there were forty-nine innate restrictions. If this continued, refining one restriction would probably require tens of millions of merit points.
However, there was a reward for the effort. With the 16th Innate Seal broken, the compatibility between Zhao Gongming's Essence Soul and the Sea Calming Pearl was already quite high.
It could be said that he was now controlling the Sea Calming Pearl as if he was using his palm. There would no longer be any obstacles.
In addition, the Sea Calming Pearl had also undergone a huge change. Eight Sea Calming Pearls had opened their small worlds.
Especially the first Sea Calming Pearl. The small world that was originally dark and sunless had expanded to a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
Unfortunately, there was still no spiritual energy in this small world. It was still a dead world.
However, as the sixteen restrictions were removed and the small worlds within the eight Sea Calming Pearls were opened, the power of this Sea Calming Pearl was more than ten times stronger than before.
If he took out the Sea Calming Pearl again at this time and smashed it with all his strength, any Primordial Immortal would die.
Even an early-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal would be injured to the core if he were to take this bead. His body might even be destroyed.
It could be said that the current Sea Calming Pearl was much stronger than the Sea Calming Pearl in Zhao Gongming's hands in the legend of the God Deification.
After refining the Sea Calming Pearl, Zhao Gongming spent another 12 million merit points to open the Dragon Binding Rope's restrictions to the same sixteenth level.
However, although this Dragon Binding Rope was also a Connate Numinous treasure, it was still somewhat inferior to the Sea Calming Pearl. There were only thirty-six layers of restrictions inside.
"It's about time. It's time to go to Green Touring Palace.”
Another 200 years passed in a hurry. Seeing that his cultivation had stabilized at the early-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm and that his two intrinsic Dharma treasures had been refined, Zhao Gongming knew that he had come out of seclusion.
A thousand years ago, Sect Master Tongtian had said that a thousand years later, he would teach the paths, skills, and divine arts of Jie School in Green Touring Palace.
As a personal disciple of Jie School, Zhao Gongming naturally had to go personally.
