Occasionally, something traditional can be quite good to look at.

Lily walked ahead, the bedding she had prepared to gain sympathy from Zhang Ze had already been put away. Now, she held her precious pearl in both hands, jumping as she led Zhang Ze to a golden sphere.

Reaching out to touch and using Divine Sense for verification, Lily entered it.

"If I remember correctly, everything is placed here." Moments later, Lily poked her head out again.

Zhang Ze and Tang exchanged a glance and followed inside.

Once inside, they finally felt solid ground beneath their feet.

The interior was filled with objects related to the Innate Tao Embryo.

Zhang Ze said, "Brother Feng thought he was done for, so he told me what he considered most important, but only half the story was told. He didn't have time for the rest before he was taken into the Earth Sea."

"I need to verify if what he said is true."

With that, Zhang Ze gestured with his middle finger, summoning the items he needed.

A Stone Pill containing a creature, an empty Stone Pill, and a piece that was just pried off Second Skin a few days ago.

Zhang Ze extended his left hand to point, taking the empty Stone Pill in his hand, and then closed his eyes, operating according to Brother Feng's method.

A moment later, the Stone Pill fused into Zhang Ze's body.

"Awesome!" Lily praised succinctly, her eyes wide open.

Zhang Ze shrugged at Lily, and that empty Stone Pill emerged again from his fingertips.

Zhang Ze then looked at the Stone Pill containing a creature.

Reaching out in the same manner, but this time the Stone Pill didn't absorb into his body, instead, it rippled as its center.

Then the Stone Pill lit up, just like the time Li awakened.

However, this time what emerged from the Stone Pill wasn't a pangolin, but a single-horned evil beast that pounced at people upon seeing them.

Lily's danger perception had long predicted this, and she had already hidden behind Zhang Ze's hand before the beast appeared.

Zhang Ze pointed a middle finger at the beast's forehead, and it was instantly frozen into a lump of ice.

Taking out the Beast Taming Ring, he captured it inside, intending to send it to the Beast Taming Sect later, whether it ends up in the beast pen or the kitchen, depends on its fate.

Then, Zhang Ze looked at the fragment pried from Second Skin.

The fragment flew up, and as it flew, Zhang Ze's voice echoed in Lily's and Tang's ears simultaneously.

"Hello, hello, hello... hello, hello, hello..."

Zhang Ze hadn't spoken, nor used the conventional method of sound transmission, the sound directly entered their ears via the fragment.

"Amazing, what spell is this? I've never seen this before," Tang exclaimed, rubbing his chin and circling Zhang Ze.

"This isn't a spell... I can't explain it clearly, anyway, just listen to my conclusion."

Zhang Ze tucked his still-extended middle finger hand into his sleeve, while a Postnatal Tao Pill he had made floated beside him.

"You remember what I said before, right? When I first broke through the celestial barrier, I saw the Four Continents curled up like a baby in the cosmos.

"At the time, I thought I was mistaken, but I wasn't.

"Because the Four Continents beneath our feet are a massive Innate Tao Embryo..."

"Part of the primordial era's innate worship included some of its 'children'."

"Just like how I can mold this little pill, it can too, these Stone Pills are unconscious creations from it."

"The reason Stone Pills can harbor souls, shape forms, and resurrect people, lies here. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"After all, everything on the Four Continents was born from it."

The Stone Pill and the Innate Tao Pill Zhang Ze molded floated on either side of him.

"So… what is Xiao Jing going to do?" Lily asked fearfully, rubbing the large pearl Li had given her.

"Eat" Zhang Ze replied.

He looked into Tang's eyes, "Xiao Jing believes that one person's independent method is the righteous path, and he thinks the Tongtian Road lies beneath our feet.

"He wants to refine and possess the entire Four Continents."

"The Four Continents act as a cage, he wants to break out and take their place.

"Heaven and earth would revere him alone."

"This is the path he's seeking."

Lily shrank her neck, "But… but didn't he fail and turn into pieces?"

Zhang Ze shook his head, "I don't know, Brother Feng only had time to say the timing was wrong, three years later… then he was gone."

With that, Zhang Ze raised his right hand, making a middle finger gesture at Lily.

"So we have to find a way to bring Brother Feng and Li back."
