X-Dragon Era

Chapter 454 - 331-333 Spiritual Treasure Embryo_5

If the refining process was done correctly, even becoming an Innate Supreme Treasure was not an impossibility. The mere thought of it excited Xin Yun to the point of not knowing what to do.

Choices like this were in fact quite scarce. Among the better-known examples was the Seven-Leaf Plantain from the Plantain Tree, which was similar to the location of the Red Gourd. There was also the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in the hands of Saint Zhun Ti, which was actually an Innate Spirit Root, a branch of the Bodhi Tree, bearing an uncanny resemblance to the Red Gourd!

Regrettably, none of the seven leaves of that Plantain Tree survived to maturity; they were picked by someone before they could. The most mature leaf was only refined into the Plantain Fan, the one in the hands of Princess Iron Fan, which was deemed unworthy by saints and ended up with Minghe Old Ancestor.

However, although they are of the same type, Xin Yun knew that the Red Gourd was the strongest. You must understand… the Plantain Fan was just a leaf, and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree was just a branch, but this Red Gourd was a condensed fruit! It was the life inheritance of the gourd vine, carrying a completely different significance.

When compared, among the many Innate Spirit Roots, only the fruit of the Red Gourd could be refined into a treasure. That's equivalent to being the extension, or the legacy, of an Innate Spirit Root – the true inheritor. As for the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, it's just an arm of an Innate Spirit Root, not even remotely comparable to its descendants.

Within the Orange Gourd lay the Innate Celestial Spirit of a gourd child, able to fix a person's cinnabar field. That is to say, the treasure summoned by the "Please Out" invitation method of the Immortal-slaying Flying Knife – once the treasure is begged to turn around, it can wield the Power of Laws and decapitate the enemy, obliterating even the Divine Soul!

As for the content of Nuwa's Gold Gourd, it is unknown. It can gather the demons of the world, exceedingly powerful; however, it seems to have no other uses.

Among the seven gourds, the Red Gourd was the first to ripen. When it was picked, it had matured completely. The Orange Gourd was only about eighty to ninety percent ripe, and the Gold Gourd was at seventy to eighty percent maturity. The later the color sequence, the lower the degree of ripeness.

This gourd, like a baby, if picked before its time, would be inherently deficient. Once inherently insufficient, intellectual deficits are very likely to occur. The Immortal-slaying Flying Knife could still summon a treasure, but by the time it came to the Gathering Demons Gourd, it was no longer viable. By the time of the Purple Gold Gourd, it could only mimic like a parrot. It had no greater intelligence than a parrot and would simply capture anything that someone else learned.
