After having the protection of the Quasi-Emperor Forbidden Artifact, Lu Zhou then advanced towards the Deep of the Fire Region.
He passed through the fourth layer, the Black Fire Region, where the black flames resembled the Nether Fire.
He didn't stop and continued to go deeper.
Until he arrived at the fifth layer of the Fire Region, the Golden Fire Region.
He took out the Qiankun Pearl and threw it into the fire for Refinement, and the blazing Golden flames enveloped the Qiankun Pearl.
Before this, within the Universe World, the area where Little Nannan was located had been enveloped by a special field, which could protect everything within that field from being destroyed.
This was a type of field power that the Qiankun Pearl possessed since it formed its own world, with the abilities of binding, suppressing, imprisoning, and transforming into a space.
As long as the Qiankun Pearl was not completely destroyed, this power would be inexhaustible within the Universe World.
Lu Zhou called this power the Qiankun Power. He once used this power to imprison the Empress's Saint Spring floating in the Void, preventing the Spiritual Qi in the Saint Spring from dissipating.
Lu Zhou, through his connection with the Qiankun Pearl, carefully sensed it, but he saw that the Golden flames had no effect on the Qiankun Pearl at all.
Seeing this, he held the Bronze Buddha Statue and continued to go deeper into the Fire Region. After walking for several miles, he saw wisps of Purple Mist drifting ahead.
That was the sixth layer of the Fire Region, called Purple Qi Comes From The East.
After arriving here, Lu Zhou finally sensed some reaction from the Qiankun Pearl.
The surface of the Qiankun Pearl had always looked gray, but now, after being burned by the Purple Mist for a while, the gray color had been tinged with a bit of Purple Mist.
This change was very subtle. If the Qiankun Pearl had not been completely bound to Lu Zhou, as if it were a part of Lu Zhou's body, Lu Zhou would not have noticed this change at all.
“Not enough.”
He muttered to himself!
Although this Purple Qi Comes From The East could help him Refinement the Qiankun Pearl, the efficiency was too slow.
He couldn't help but look up and look towards the Deep of the Fire Region.
“I have a Quasi-Emperor Forbidden Artifact to protect me, I can increase the intensity of the flames to save time.”
After a short while, Lu Zhou, with the Qiankun Pearl, holding the Bronze Buddha Statue, continued to go deeper into the Fire Region.
In this process, the Qiankun Pearl was constantly being burned by the Purple Mist.
Not long after, Lu Zhou arrived at an area filled with five-colored cloud flames.
This was the seventh layer of the Fire Region.
With the Quasi-Emperor Forbidden Artifact protecting him, these five-colored cloud flames still couldn't harm him, but Lu Zhou didn't plan to continue forward.
Because he found that the gray surface of the Qiankun Pearl was rapidly changing towards the five-colored hue.
Obviously, this place was already suitable for him to Refinement his Qiankun Pearl.
At that moment, he sat cross-legged on the ground, mobilized his Divine Power, and surged it towards the Qiankun Pearl. The nine Emperor Characters in the Dao Scripture were repeatedly inscribed on the surface of the Qiankun Pearl by him.
He was already very familiar with this matter.
Since he began cultivating, he would spend some time each day to Refinement the Qiankun Pearl, hoping to imprint these nine Emperor Characters on the Qiankun Pearl to help the Qiankun Pearl become stronger.
It was a pity that until he came to this Fire Region, he had been unable to successfully imprint those nine characters permanently on the Qiankun Pearl.
At most, after doing it many times, he could make them appear on the surface of the Qiankun Pearl for a while.
This time, when Lu Zhou once again imprinted the nine Emperor Characters from the Dao Scripture on the Qiankun Pearl, he clearly found something different.
The nine Emperor Characters on the surface of the Qiankun Pearl bloomed with Divine Radiance, shining brightly, connecting with complex patterns that Lu Zhou couldn't understand, as if they had become eternal, enveloping the Qiankun Pearl.
Those patterns were autonomously absorbing the five-colored cloud flames in this Fire Region, surging towards it frantically.
Lu Zhou heard the sound of ‘clang clang clang’ of hammering in his ears.
This sound lasted for a full half month before it gradually stopped.
During this half month, Lu Zhou was always paying attention to the situation within the Universe World of the Qiankun Pearl.
He only saw that the sky in the Universe World was filled with five-colored Divine Light, like aurora, and every moment was exceptionally brilliant.
Besides that, there were no other changes.
When the hammering sound stopped, the Qiankun Pearl, which was originally gray, had been fixed into a five-colored hue.
It was round and translucent, like a Pearl in the Sky. Between the flow of five-colored Divine Light, there was a Dao and a principle evolving, vaguely giving Lu Zhou a feeling of the beginning of the world and the naturalness of the Dao.
Lu Zhou infused it with Divine Power, and nine Emperor Characters appeared and disappeared on its surface, with Dao patterns intertwining. It bloomed with brilliant Divine Light, as if it could transform into a vast Sky, and one could see a hazy great world in it, rising and falling.
This was the embodiment of its Dao, which could be used to defeat enemies.
Lu Zhou raised his hand and took the Qiankun Pearl into his palm.
This Qiankun Pearl was still light as if it had no weight, but Lu Zhou knew that this was only for him. Now, if the Qiankun Pearl was released by him with Divine Power, it would definitely be able to easily shatter a mountain.
At this point, the Qiankun Pearl could be considered to have some of the appearance of a ‘great artifact’.
Its Foundation had greatly increased.
After playing with the Qiankun Pearl for a while, Lu Zhou put the Qiankun Pearl back into the five-colored cloud flames for Refinement.
With a thought, the Qiankun Pearl seemed to have transformed into a Black Hole, and wisps of five-colored cloud flames were constantly absorbed into the Universe World inside the Qiankun Pearl.
Lu Zhou was preparing to further refine the Qiankun Pearl inside and out.
The five-colored cloud flames burned within the Universe World, causing the temperature of the entire Universe World to suddenly soar, transforming it into a sea of fire flowing with five-colored clouds.
In the sea of fire, there was a Pure Land, which was the place protected by the Qiankun Power, where Little Nannan's home was.
Lu Zhou also entered the Universe World, and the hundreds of Scriptures he had obtained from the Copper Coffin echoed in his mind.
He once again mobilized his Divine Power and Divine Sense, wanting to imprint those Scriptures that echoed in his mind in the Void, imitating the way he had done before.
It was a pity that, as usual, those Scriptures still couldn't manifest in the world, and arcs of electricity flashed, erasing them.
Lu Zhou was not discouraged and continued to imprint them again and again.
Those Scriptures disappeared again and again.
After holding on like this for a full month, Lu Zhou still couldn't successfully imprint that Scripture in the Qiankun Pearl.
Just when he was about to give up, he ushered in a turning point.
On this day, when he was imprinting that Scripture under the World Tree, he suddenly found that the speed at which the Scripture disappeared had slowed down a lot.
Lu Zhou was overjoyed, and soon, he seemed to have thought of something.
He used his Divine Power as a brush and his Divine Sense as ink, and began to try to imprint those hundreds of Scriptures on the World Tree's trunk.
Finally, when he had finished imprinting all the Scriptures, those Scriptures did not dissipate either.
They were imprinted on the World Tree's trunk, and although they only left a trace of extremely faint patterns, they did indeed fully manifest in the world.
Also, when Lu Zhou made the entire Scripture fully manifest in the Universe World, the entire Universe World suddenly shook violently.
Next, Lu Zhou saw an extremely shocking scene.
The World Tree, which was originally only a foot tall, suddenly grew to three zhang tall. The Chaos Mist that hung down as its branches and leaves swayed was like the Nine Heavens Milky Way hanging upside down.
This scene was too vast, as if the sky was collapsing, and there was great terror.
Fortunately, those Chaos Mist, perhaps because of the System, or perhaps they were originally created by the World Tree that was bound to Lu Zhou, in short, they still couldn't harm Lu Zhou.
Before long, the entire Universe World was filled with Chaos Mist, a haze.
Then, Chaos was raging, and the Universe World was re-enacting the elements of earth, wind, water, and fire, with Lightning raging in the Chaos.
This scene was like the Creation of Heaven and Earth in the mythical legends.
This scene lasted for a full ten days before it stopped.
After everything calmed down, Lu Zhou found that the Universe World had expanded even more.
Now, there were thousands of miles in each of the eight directions of east, west, south, north, up, and down, which was even larger than the entire Yan Country!
