Because Ding Yun was very familiar with the specific locations of all the blessed lands, innate spiritual treasures, and innate spiritual roots, and was also well aware of the innate formations guarding these items, she could enter them with great ease, without causing any disturbance, and silently collect the items once she reached her destination.
Not long after, the more famous and unclaimed blessed lands in the world had all been visited by Ding Yun, and all sorts of good things were plundered.
Some top-tier innate spiritual roots, innate supreme treasures, top-tier innate spiritual treasures, and high-grade innate spiritual treasures, etc.
Were all quietly taken away by Ding Yun.
After doing so, Ding Yun didn't even let go of mid-grade and low-grade innate spiritual treasures, giving them a brief sweep, but not taking everything. She only collected about ninety percent. The same applied to innate spiritual roots, and even the top-tier innate spiritual materials. In the end, out of a total of 129,600 innate spiritual treasures in the world, Ding Yun alone took 30,000, and the supreme treasures of the major innate races and innate gods and demons accounted for 20,000.
The remaining nearly 80,000 pieces were scattered throughout the world.
Unclaimed.
However, over ninety-nine percent of the remaining 80,000 innate spiritual treasures were of inferior quality.
Only a few were not yet fully formed.
Treasures that should not have appeared yet.
After collecting all the treasures, Ding Yun completely sealed off some of the top-tier blessed lands, preparing to bestow them upon her disciples later. Only then did she feel relieved and return to the Yin-Yang Grotto-Heaven.
She continued with what she had left undone.
That is, to comprehend, absorb, and digest the newly grown法则 information, and to understand the current world situation.
"The Netherworld God and Demon has already perished and transcended into Dao due to the completeness of the world. Although I don't know if it was due to his own reasons or the intervention of the world consciousness, his demise is likely certain. However, the Netherworld has still been sealed by the world consciousness. It's probably a matter of timing. After all, without the appearance of reincarnation, the Netherworld doesn't serve much purpose.
Wait, the Heavenly Realm has changed from the original nine layers to twenty-four layers. After the gods and demons of the Azure Heaven, Yellow Heaven, Jade Heaven, etc., perished, each layer evolved into a new heaven.
Six of the Nine Pure Gods and Demons perished.
And evolved into six layers of heaven.
Only the Great Pure, Jade Pure, and Upper Pure gods and demons, though heavily injured, survived. These three titles have an incredibly profound influence, allowing them to survive even in this Eternal World.
They are now hiding in the Jade Kun Mountain Range.
I'll make a note of this. Perhaps in the future, I can take them as disciples, and they can be candidates for my disciples for now."
Muttering to herself for a while, Ding Yun specifically drew a red circle on the Jade Kun Mountain Range on the panoramic map of the Eternal World and made a notation, then continued to mumble:
"Besides these, there are a few other individuals who require special attention. One is the Daoist of Destiny, who was reborn from a wisp of remnant soul left by the God and Demon of Destiny, using the River of Destiny. This fellow seems to have glimpsed a sliver of destiny and has already killed the remnant souls of the Gods and Demons of Order and Balance, seizing their supreme treasures and origin.
Another is the God and Demon of Time. This fellow is also a cunning schemer. His innate immortal true spirit has always been hidden in the River of Time. Each time, he only severs a wisp of his soul and a wisp of his time origin to form a body and scheme. The Candle Dragon he severed last time died, and this time he has severed another one.
He has even joined the Dragon Clan to contend for luck...
No, the God and Demon of Time has severed two avatars this time. One has transformed into a Candle Dragon and joined the Dragon Clan.
The other has transformed into Zhujiuyin and is scheming alone.
How many baskets is he putting his eggs in!
Although the God and Demon of Creation has completely perished, the origin preserved in his residual body is too complete. The Daoist of Creation who has now been reborn from it will likely regain control of the laws of creation and ascend to the position of Dao Lord of Creation soon.
Not bad, not bad. He's also a good prospect.
He can be a reserve disciple."
For a long time thereafter, Ding Yun continued to analyze the surviving first batch of innate gods and demons, as well as the second batch of innate gods and demons who inherited the legacies of the first batch. Those who posed a threat and were difficult to deal with were categorized into one group, those with good potential who might be taken as disciples were placed in another group, and those of no value that needed no attention were simply ignored.
Then, of course, she continued to analyze the second batch of native innate gods and demons nurtured by heaven and earth, as well as the strongest powers of the current major innate races, such as the ancestors.
After all these analyses were complete, Ding Yun finally had time to pay attention to her fellow pioneers:
"Oh, right. I always feel like my peers haven't done much. Are they also secretly cultivating like me, or should I check how many survivors there are and where the rest are?
Those who pose a threat to me must be remembered. Although it's not easy to make a direct move, indirect actions are still possible.
Those who pose no threat can be ignored..."
"Eight remain, plus me, that's nine."
"Is the casualty rate this high?"
"Uh, but on second thought, it seems somewhat normal. Many of them initially chose to pledge allegiance to the higher-level gods and demons of their respective laws. As subordinates, they would naturally have to charge into battle, or even act as cannon fodder. If they wanted to desert, they would probably be killed by their own higher-level gods and demons first. The divine and demonic war that occurred earlier was so fierce.
Perishing is truly too normal.
In this light, it's not entirely unlucky that I was discovered so early. The most important thing is that I encountered one of the ten top-tier innate gods and demons, the Yin-Yang God and Demon. My luck is truly astounding!
If it weren't for the Yin-Yang God and Demon's help, I would have spent an unknown amount of time just collecting the aura of the laws, and it's even questionable if I would have had the chance to collect it, let alone directly enter the world's sea of laws to copy them.
Good heavens, when I think about it like this, ninety percent of my current achievements are due to the Yin-Yang God and Demon!
I owe him a huge favor. I remember that within the Innate Yin-Yang Diagram, there is still a wisp of the Yin-Yang God and Demon's remaining true spirit imprint. Should I help him revive that imprint and take him as a disciple to repay this favor?
Although he was primarily using me, haven't I also been using him? We're even, aren't we?
Forget it, who made me beautiful and kind-hearted!
Even if that wisp of true spirit imprint revives, it won't be the original Yin-Yang God and Demon, but it can be considered leaving him a root. However, a single wisp of true spirit is too little. Such a being with incomplete innate origin is not quite qualified to be a disciple. Forget it, I'll let him be a boy servant for now.
When I eventually achieve Dao, I'll see if I can mend his origin, or when reincarnation appears, I'll let his true spirit go through hundreds of thousands of reincarnations, and I believe he can recover.
Even if I don't take him as a disciple then.
Giving him a place to belong would be considered repaying the karma."
After only a short while of checking on her peers, Ding Yun's thoughts began to wander as she thought of the Yin-Yang God and Demon, and she felt she owed him too much. She took out the wisp of the Yin-Yang God and Demon's true spirit that she had been preserving within the Innate Yin-Yang Diagram without completely obliterating it.
She then found a piece of Yin-Yang Source Stone imbued with innate Yin-Yang origin as a vessel, and placed the wisp of Yin-Yang God and Demon's true spirit into it, and then set up an innate grand formation to nurture it.
To speed up the nurturing process, Ding Yun specifically placed the Innate Yin-Yang Diagram within the innate grand formation, continuously drawing in the pure Qi of heaven and earth's Yin-Yang origin to nourish the Source Stone.
And incidentally nourishing the true spirit within.
After doing all this, Ding Yun then continued to check on the remaining eight peers to see what their current situations were.
