"Your Excellency, who is this...?" The four of them looked at Ye Kai with confusion.
Ye Kai remained calm and composed, though inwardly he found it quite amusing. He had already realized that they were uncertain about the deity's position and strength.
However, it wasn't appropriate to speak directly about such matters, so he cautiously asked a question.
Gazing at the distant pillar of light that had appeared out of nowhere, creating ripples in the void that even their full efforts could not disturb, Ye Kai said in a calm tone, "Most of the time, the words of a deity represent the will of this sect."
It was a simple and straightforward statement.
Yet this simplicity and directness left Gongyang Zhenjun and the others deeply shaken. It seemed that this girl was far more significant than they had imagined, and her power was much greater than they had anticipated.
The pure light and the aura of endless majesty made them, as Pinnacle of the Out-of-Body Stage experts, feel as if they were being crushed under a great mountain, nearly unable to breathe.
They watched from afar while the deity looked on in astonishment. "What is this? It seems more advanced than Earth Spirit Energy, Vibrant, or Vitality. Could it be celestial energy?!"
Immediately, the deity used their abilities to collect a wisp of white mist and began experimenting. They then took out a pearl, crushed it, and tossed it into the pillar of light.
"Boom!!!"
A force more terrifying than a Category 12 typhoon swept through the area, pushing Ye Kai and the others back several miles despite being ten miles away initially.
The deity glanced back with a hint of unease before pondering over the strange gas in their hand.
This white mist appeared light and airy like smoke, yet ordinary seals could not contain it. It easily eroded the deity's magical power and dissipated within moments.
"Mm?!"
Suddenly, she looked up at the sky. The beam of light still pierced through the void, opening a gap, but the consumption of energy made her frown again.
"A 'Faith Rice Ball' can only sustain for ten minutes?!"
"Well, at least I don't have to keep it up all the time; otherwise, the divine snacks would be gone."
She grasped a wisp of white mist again. This ethereal white mist showed no signs of hostility. As she released the seal once more, the mist escaped and smoothly rejoined the endless sea of white vapor above, as if a droplet had fallen back into the ocean.
"How mysterious... yet powerful." The deity frowned in secret; even she had no effective way to deal with this, which was truly astonishing.
Suddenly, she sensed an unusual aura. Raising her chubby hand, she casually grabbed a clump of white mist. Then, flipping her right hand over, a Faith Rice Ball appeared. When she brought her palms together, it immediately erupted with blinding light.
As the brilliance faded, she opened her palm and discovered that the Faith Rice Ball had changed. It was no longer that golden-white glow but had transformed into a liquid state. With just a gentle shake, countless sparkling stars scattered from it.
To her astonishment, she realized that this starlight did not consume even a tiny bit of the liquid within the orb.
"What is this..."
Although she didn't fully understand it yet, she had grasped the fleeting moment when two powers combined and decisively used her Divine Ability Analyzer to analyze it.
"Embracing all things, a breath of life?!"
Also known as the Mother Qi of All Things in the Great Zhou, it was a strand of pure Spiritual Energy that came into being when the world was first opened and creation was born. It possessed no offensive capability but could give rise to all things and also repel them.
After waiting for a while, Ye Kai grew a bit impatient and walked directly to the deity's side. Seeing her slightly confused and surprised expression, he smiled faintly, "What's wrong? Did you discover something good?"
"Mother Qi of All Things!"
"Mother Qi of All Things?!"
"Mother Qi of All Things..."
With the deity's explanation, even Gongyang Zhenjun and the others, including Ye Kai, couldn't help but exclaim in excitement.
After a while, Ye Kai finally came back to his senses and let out a long breath. "The search for this mountain was a test, but merely a warm-up." He looked up at the void above with a smile. "Now is the real test."
"The mist before you is also known as Mother Qi of All Things in the Great Zhou. As the name suggests, it is the origin of creation that existed when the earth was first opened and all things were born."
Ye Kai recited from the materials he had previously read: "This qi can give rise to all things, but it can also repel them; it is by no means as simple as you imagine."
"This is the rarest Vitality in the world, a Relic for refining treasures. How many powerful cultivators have searched their whole lives without obtaining even a trace? And here we find so much!"
The deity was also very excited, her face flushed as she shook Ye Kai's arm and urged, "Lord God, quickly collect it! With this to refine treasures, you will surely be able to condense 'Dao' and 'Li', transforming it into a Supreme Dao Imperial Weapon that will be far more powerful than anything in the Veil of the World."
"Girl, you really talk without thinking..." Ye Kai rolled his eyes. "This kind of thing, I can't even touch it. Even if I could, I wouldn't dare!"
In truth, he felt an itch in his heart; he wouldn't mind having such a good thing. However, how to collect it required careful planning.
He finally understood how the deity had just collected it—she had used a Faith Pearl, also known as a Faith Rice Ball. However, since Faith Rice Balls were limited in number, they couldn't collect much at all.
In his impatience, he suddenly heard the murmurs of three Subordinates.
"I remember the initial energy of the earth should be Xuan Huang and Vitality, right?!"
"Xuan Huang is the essence of the earth, and it is also the mother energy of all things. They are two sides of the same coin; it's just a matter of different names."
"In fact, this mother energy can also be called the Great Zhou Purple Qi. It has undergone some transformation that we cannot comprehend, resulting in its current form!"
"If there were a treasure that could collect it, it wouldn't necessarily have to be refined immediately; there would always be opportunities in the future!"
"But where can we find such a treasure?"
Gongyang Zhenjun, She Yuanjun, and Hu Qianfang all wore expressions of longing, ecstasy mixed with a hint of disappointment and despair as they whispered.
Unbeknownst to them, Ye Kai's mind sparked with Spirit Light as he immediately thought of the treasure in his hand.
Whether it was the Emperor Weapon Embryo, the treasure nurtured by the Three Talents Formation, or the recently acquired Great Nine Xuanmei Jade Emperor Divine Light Tower, all could serve as containers.
Of course, he was actually thinking even further—combining the two treasures to elevate them to another level.
