Ye Ling saw the shocked expression on Tian Xing's face and couldn't help but ask, "Seeing you like this, do you know something?"
Tian Xing nodded and said, "Yes, the Seed of Origin you now possess was most likely created by someone who was skilled in the power of creation. It has nothing to do with the Origin Lower Realm you are from, so absorbing it won't cause you any trouble."
"The power of creation..." Ye Ling murmured, "Are you referring to this kind of power?"
Ye Ling snapped his fingers, and a demonic sword materialized out of thin air.
Seeing the demonic sword appear from nothing, Tian Xing's pupils contracted slightly, and she looked at Ye Ling in astonishment. "You can also use the power of creation?"
"Yes."
Ye Ling grasped the demonic sword he had created, performed a flourish, and said, "After Shan left, I naturally learned it. This power seems to be able to create anything I can imagine."
With that, Ye Ling used the power of creation to conjure a peerlessly beautiful woman. He snapped his fingers again, and the beautiful woman and the demonic sword in Ye Ling's hand vanished, transforming into spiritual energy and returning to Ye Ling's body.
Seeing Ye Ling effortlessly create objects and life, Tian Xing exclaimed, "There is such a wondrous power in the world! I am truly enlightened today."
Although she already knew that the power of creation could bring anything into existence, experiencing it firsthand was a different matter entirely.
Speaking of which, Tian Xing thought of something and quickly asked Ye Ling, "Ye Ling, can you create an Origin Dao Heart and a Seed of Origin now?"
"I'll try..."
Ye Ling attempted to activate the power of creation but soon gave up, telling Tian Xing, "I cannot comprehend the Seed of Origin yet, so I cannot create it. I can create an Origin Dao Heart, but the energy required would be twice that of an Origin Dao Heart, which is not very cost-effective."
Tian Xing was not disappointed and excitedly said, "So, as long as you understand the Seed of Origin, you can create it?"
After saying this, Tian Xing frowned and muttered to herself, "But creating an Origin Dao Heart requires twice the energy of an Origin Dao Heart. Then creating a Seed of Origin would also require two Seeds of Origin. Calculated like this... wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
Ye Ling replied, "It's not calculated that way. I've only recently acquired the power of creation and am not yet accustomed to using it. Creating high-level items involves many detours. For example, the demonic sword and the beauty I created just now were one-to-one energy conversions."
"I believe that once I become proficient, creating a Seed of Origin will not be impossible."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Tian Xing nodded and smiled, "It seems I will be even more reliant on you in the future... I've heard that Seeds of Origin are extremely rare, and even a single one would cause supreme experts to fight over it. With my strength, I definitely wouldn't be able to obtain one."
"Once you grow stronger, you'll be able to create as many Seeds of Origin as you want?"
Although creating a Seed of Origin consumed corresponding energy, that energy could be replenished from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and other sources.
Moreover, Ye Ling possessed the Devouring Domain, which could convert everything in the world into his own energy. This ability was a perfect match for the power of creation!
Ye Ling joked, "If that's truly possible, then I'll create an army of supreme experts and sweep through the Origin Upper Realm."
Tian Xing nodded seriously. "Yes... I think that's feasible. Since there are many supreme experts in the Origin Upper Realm, I suspect the energy there is sufficient for you to create supreme experts. If we truly had an army of supreme experts, please let me be the commander. I can directly help you conquer the Origin Upper Realm."
Seeing that Tian Xing was actually serious, Ye Ling shook his head and smiled. "If that day ever comes, I'll leave the leadership to you."
"Ye Ling, are you alright!" At this moment, Xuan Yu, who had retreated outside the barrier, returned to the dojo with the World-Ending Spirit Fire and asked Ye Ling with concern.
Ye Ling replied, "Thanks to Shan, everything is fine. However, I apologize. There was such a mishap during the trial. I suppose this counts as a failure. Can I attempt the trial again?"
Xuan Yu asked, "Can you perfectly control the state of 'no-self' now?"
Ye Ling nodded. "Yes, I have refined my realm in the consciousness space and can enter and exit the state of 'no-self' at will."
"Not only that, but Shan also left me a Seed of Origin. Although I am not yet capable of absorbing the Seed of Origin, I can still borrow its power. I should be able to briefly exert the strength of a supreme expert."
Xuan Yu said, "In that case, the Twelve True God Array probably won't be able to stop you. Continuing the trial is meaningless."
Ye Ling was stunned. "You mean, I've passed the trial?"
Xuan Yu nodded. "Yes... this trial was originally meant to see if you were qualified to go to the Origin Upper Realm. With your current strength, you should have the ability to protect yourself in the Origin Upper Realm, so you have passed."
"Moreover, my father's consciousness was present during this trial. He intended to reward you with his Dao essence after you passed the trial. But since you have already received your father's inheritance, the trial is now meaningless."
Seeing that he had passed Xuan Yu's trial, Ye Ling's eyes lit up with excitement, and he asked, "In that case, what is the second condition?"
Xuan Yu smiled slightly. "It's simple. Take me with you."
"Take me with you?" Ye Ling was taken aback. "You want to go to the Origin Upper Realm too? Does your father agree?"
As Shan's daughter, Xuan Yu was absolutely safe in the Origin Lower Realm and the Chaos Battlefield. However, if she were to go to the Origin Upper Realm, she would lose Shan's protection and be exposed to danger just like him.
Ye Ling inwardly did not wish for Xuan Yu to venture into danger with him.
After all, Xuan Yu had no obligations and did not need to venture into the Origin Upper Realm.
Xuan Yu smiled. "This is my father's intention. The three of you know nothing about the Origin Upper Realm, and rushing in blindly is likely a death sentence. I have inherited a lot of knowledge about the Origin Upper Realm from my father. With my help, you won't be completely in the dark when you arrive in the Origin Upper Realm."
Ye Ling asked Xuan Yu again, "Are you sure you want to come with us? Once we reach the Origin Upper Realm, I might not be able to protect you."
Xuan Yu replied, "I'm not as fragile as you think. Perhaps I'll be the one saving your life!"
Tian Xing also said to Ye Ling at this moment, "That's right, Ye Ling. As Shan's daughter, Xuan Yu's power is far greater than what we can see. The Origin Upper Realm is an unknown world to us. With Xuan Yu's help, I believe we will fare much smoother."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire also advised Ye Ling, "Yes, you brat! Shan agreed to it, so why are you hesitating? One more person means one more bit of strength."
Seeing that Tian Xing and the World-Ending Spirit Fire also supported bringing Xuan Yu along, Ye Ling no longer insisted. He said to Xuan Yu, "Alright, we'll head to the Origin Upper Realm together, but I have one condition."
Xuan Yu asked, "What condition?"
Ye Ling said earnestly, "If we encounter danger, you must prioritize your own safety. You absolutely cannot put yourself in peril to save me!"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Xuan Yu was slightly stunned, then replied seriously, "Okay."
