Chapter 15: Evolution of the Originless Treasures Part 3: The Heart of Endless Life After completing the evolution of the Void Sovereign Skyblade and upgrading the Storage Ring, Adrian finally turned his attention toward the final treasure. The Ancient Tree Spirit King's body. Inside the Storage Ring, the ancient existence remained silent. Even after death, the body still contained an unimaginable amount of life energy. For countless years, the Ancient Tree Spirit King had absorbed the essence of nature, gathering vitality from the land itself. Its existence was not built around destruction. It was built around growth. Creation. Endless survival. Adrian looked at the massive ancient body stored inside the spatial artifact. "If I only absorb this energy..." "Most of its value will disappear." Life energy was not something that should simply be consumed. It was something that could be transformed. Created. Refined into a treasure that could continue helping him in the future. This was the difference between ordinary cultivators and Adrian. Others searched for treasures. Adrian created his own. He began preparing the refinement process. The first material he extracted was the Ancient Tree Spirit King's core. Deep within the ancient body was a condensed source of life energy. It was not a normal crystal. It contained the remaining essence of thousands of years of cultivation. Adrian carefully separated the core from the body. A powerful green light filled the room. The entire space was covered with a gentle life aura. Even the plants outside the window began growing faster. However, the core still contained traces of the Tree Spirit King's former consciousness. Memories. Instincts. The desire to continue existing. Adrian used his Originless Qi to refine it. He did not destroy the remaining consciousness through force. Instead, he separated it from the pure life energy. The hatred. The fear. The ancient instincts. Everything unrelated to pure vitality disappeared. Only the essence of life remained. Next, Adrian added materials to stabilize the artifact. Spirit Jade was used to contain the enormous life energy. Refined Silver was used to create a stable energy circulation path. Ancient Wood Essence extracted from the Tree Spirit King's body became the foundation of the artifact. Each material had a purpose. The Spirit Jade provided stability. The Refined Silver allowed energy to flow smoothly. The Ancient Wood Essence represented endless growth. Adrian placed all materials into the refining flame created from his Originless Qi. Unlike ordinary flames that destroyed everything inside them... His flame purified. The materials slowly merged. The emerald core began changing. Countless mysterious patterns appeared around it. These patterns were not copied from ancient techniques. They were created from Adrian's own understanding. The principle of life. The principle of recovery. The principle of endless continuation. Hours passed. The refinement continued. Finally... The artifact was completed. Adrian looked at the treasure floating in front of him. A small emerald heart-shaped crystal. It released a calm green light. But beneath that peaceful aura was an enormous amount of power. Adrian reached out. The moment his hand touched it... The artifact connected with his spiritual energy. A new connection was formed. Adrian gave it a name. "Verdant Origin Heart." A treasure created from the life essence of an ancient existence. But no longer belonging to the past. It belonged to Adrian's path. The abilities contained within the artifact slowly appeared in his understanding. The first ability was the ability to generate life energy continuously. The Verdant Origin Heart could absorb surrounding natural energy and transform it into pure vitality. Unlike ordinary spiritual energy, this life energy could restore damaged areas inside the body and reduce exhaustion after intense battles. The second ability was powerful recovery. As long as Adrian still possessed enough spiritual energy, the artifact could accelerate the healing process. Severe injuries. Internal damage. Energy depletion. All could recover much faster than normal. The third ability was purification. The artifact could remove harmful energies that entered the body. Poison. Curse power. Corrupted spiritual energy. All of them could be weakened and purified by the life energy contained inside the artifact. The fourth ability was protection of the cultivation foundation. During battles where Adrian used techniques beyond normal limits, the Verdant Origin Heart could provide additional support and prevent his cultivation foundation from becoming unstable. However... Adrian knew this was only the beginning. The artifact was created from the remains of an ancient Tree Spirit King. Its potential was far beyond its current state. If it encountered stronger life sources in the future... It could continue evolving. After completing the artifact refinement, Adrian looked at the three treasures beside him. Void Sovereign Skyblade. The upgraded Storage Ring. Verdant Origin Heart. One represented his sword. One represented his preparation. One represented life. They were not treasures inherited from ancient civilizations. They were not gifts from destiny. They were creations born from his own understanding. The Originless Immortal Path. Adrian looked outside the window. The night sky was quiet. But beyond that peaceful sky... Countless mysteries were waiting. He smiled slightly. "Step by step..." "I will create everything I need." And with the birth of the Verdant Origin Heart... Adrian's foundation in this new universe became stronger than ever before.
