The jelly held in Xiao Zhi's hand squirmed and struggled violently, making a squeaking sound.
Soon, the ball of jelly was crushed by Xiao Zhi.
A fist-sized luminous crystal was peeled off from the thick mucus.
This fist-sized luminous crystal is the essence of the universe that Xiao Zhi and others are searching for!
After receiving the Essence of the Universe, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
At this point, the situation was clear.
That jelly-like object wrapped in the essence of the universe should be an innate demon god that was just born.
The cosmic-level powerhouses in the heaven, after learning about the existence of the cosmic essence, are all eager to obtain the cosmic essence.
These innate demon gods who were born when the world first opened, once they encounter the essence of the universe, they will not let go of the essence of the universe, and will find ways to devour the essence of the universe.
This jelly monster that was crushed to death by Xiao Zhi was just devouring the essence of the universe.
It's a pity that it was a bit unlucky and was bumped into by Xiao Zhi.
If it hadn't been caught by Xiao Zhi, after it completely swallowed the essence of the universe, its strength would have undergone a transformation.
Its strength may be close to the cosmic level, or even reach the cosmic level.
Unfortunately, it met Xiao Zhi...
"Congratulations." The small golden Buddha stood on Xiao Zhi's shoulders, clasped his hands, and expressed congratulations to Xiao Zhi.
"Thank you." Xiao Zhi nodded towards the golden Buddha.
He stood in the chaotic void and carefully studied the essence of the universe in front of him.
The essence of the universe is really beautiful. The light it emits is constantly changing and looks magnificent.
Unfortunately, there are some traces of corrosion on the surface of this cosmic essence. These traces should be traces left after being swallowed by the jelly monster and digested a little.
When Xiao Zhi looked at it carefully, passing through the most powerful divine realm, and carefully sensing its details, a trace of desire inexplicably arose in his heart.
He longs to eat this cosmic essence, and has a strong intuition telling him that the cosmic essence in front of him can transform him, sublimate his life level, and make him stronger!
And as time goes by, this feeling becomes stronger and stronger.
Xiao Zhi's body flashed and he retreated thousands of feet away.
The longing that made him feel suffocated suddenly disappeared like a tide.
Xiao Zhi breathed out lightly.
It's not that he is unwilling to use this cosmic essence.
It's his instinctive resistance to the feeling of being dominated by his own desires.
‘Put it away first.’ Xiao Zhi thought to himself.
Like the original ancestor, he did not want to use this cosmic essence in this vast and boundless chaotic void.
Then he gently hooked his fingers, and immediately, the essence of the universe, which was emitting bright light, suddenly disappeared. When it reappeared, it was already in front of Xiao Zhi.
At this time, Xiao Zhi had a surprised expression on his face.
Just now, he wanted to put the essence of the universe into his storage ring, but found that the essence of the universe could not be stored at all.
It should be that its existence is too advanced.
If you can't store it, you can't store it.
Xiao Zhi used the power of rules he had mastered to create things out of thin air. He created a storage pendant that fit the shape of the essence of the universe. He collected the essence of the universe and sealed it in it, completely blocking its breath, and then hung it up.
On his waist.
'continue!'
Xiao Zhi adjusted the pointer floating in front of his eyes, and his figure turned into an afterimage and continued to fly forward.
In the Origin Heaven Realm, in the main hall of the Supreme Palace, a daily routine meeting started again.
When Xiao Zhi told the story that he had harvested a cosmic essence, many envious eyes immediately fell on him, followed by a burst of congratulations.
Xiao Zhi happily accepted the congratulations from everyone, and then gave everyone a few words of encouragement, asking everyone to continue working hard and strive to find the third essence of the universe as soon as possible.
Thirteen days later, the third cosmic essence was found.
The lucky one this time is Yangxi.
After Yang Xi obtained the Essence of the Universe, she was extremely excited. Not to mention her true self, even her clone stationed in the Palace of the Strongest was extremely excited.
During the regular meeting in the Supreme Palace, Yang Xi kept praising how beautiful the essence of the universe in her hand was, attracting a lot of envious, jealous and hateful eyes.
After Yang Xi finished speaking, Emperor Mengtian said faintly: "If nothing else happens, let's all disperse."
Yang Xi said: "There is something else."
Everyone looked towards Yang Xi.
Yang Xi looked at Xiao Zhi and said, "Brother, according to the regulations, this essence of the universe should belong to me, and I can control it at will, right?"
"Yes." Xiao Zhi smiled and nodded.
Yang Xi smiled and said, "That's good."
Emperor Mengtian's expression changed slightly and he asked: "Aren't you going to use this essence of the universe yourself?"
Yang Xi said: "I am already the strongest...cosmic level, and I am still far away from the immortal level. I don't have much use for this now, so I want to give this cosmic essence to my second brother.
Come and use it, it should be fine, right?"
Hearing this, everyone had expressions of surprise on their faces.
Xiao Zhi's face was calm, because this was what he expected.
He knew Yang Xi, the little sister he had grown up with, relatively well. When Yang Xi asked him questions, he had already vaguely guessed what Yang Xi wanted to do.
Emperor Meng Tian frowned and said: "This is the essence of the universe. Are you sure you want to hand over such a precious essence of the universe to a high-level god?"
Under normal circumstances, let alone high-level gods, many cosmic-level ones are not qualified to use the essence of the universe.
Even the top civilization in the endless multiverse like the ancient civilization, the cosmic level who has never used the essence of the universe, grabs a lot of them.
In Emperor Mengtian's view, using the essence of the universe for a high-level god is simply a waste of resources!
Not only Emperor Meng Tian, but also many people in the Supreme Palace had this idea.
Yang Xi said with some displeasure: "What happened to the high-level gods? This is my second brother. Even if he is just an ordinary person, he is still my second brother!"
Emperor Mengtian nodded and said, "Since you have made up your mind, it's up to you."
Xiao Zhi smiled and said: "Xiao Xi, this is the essence of your universe. You can give it to whomever you want. This is your freedom."
"Yeah." Yang Xi nodded towards Xiao Zhi.
Time passes day by day, and people continue to find new essences of the universe.
As time went by, the routine meetings in the Supreme Palace also changed from once a day to once every two days, once every three days, and finally, once every ten days.
Before I knew it, a year had passed by.
In the dark and deep chaotic void, Xiao Zhi's eyes were blooming with blue-green light that looked like substance. There was a pointer floating in front of him, flying at a high speed.
At this time, he already had five cosmic essences in his arms.
This is not the most.
The one who has obtained the most essence of the universe is the mighty Buddha.
In the hands of the mighty Buddha, there are already eight essences of the universe.
Xiao Zhi relied on his high level, fast speed, and pretty good luck to obtain the five essences of the universe.
As for the mighty Buddha, what he relies on is his power of cause and effect.
After he obtains the first cosmic essence, he can vaguely deduce the locations of other cosmic essences within a certain range through the power of cause and effect.
His derivation range is more than twice as large as the 'pointer' range.
Because the range is large enough, his probability of finding the essence of the universe is naturally much higher than that of other universe levels.
Some are lucky, and some are unlucky.
Just like Lingao.
A year has passed, and Lingao still has zero income and has not caught a single cosmic essence.
Even the Ling'ao clones became more and more gloomy and taciturn when attending regular meetings.
There are several unlucky guys like Ling Ao.
If it weren't for the fact that there were two special avatars beside them responsible for supervision, Xiao Zhi would have doubted whether they had deliberately failed to report the essence of the universe after finding it, and had been captured by Tan Mo.
Time passes year by year.
In the first few years, everyone's harvest in the chaotic void was pretty good, and new cosmic essences would be discovered every now and then.
But as time goes by, the number of discovered essences of the universe becomes less and less.
This means that most of the cosmic essences born in this universe have been found, and there are not many remaining cosmic essences.
When the time came to the twenty-third year, not a single essence of the universe was found for a whole year.
In the twenty-seventh year, and for another whole year, no essence of the universe was discovered.
In the dark and deep chaotic void, Xiao Zhi was sitting on a floating airship with a metallic luster, flying at extremely high speeds.
This floating airship was carefully built by him with the power of rules, and it also contained a lot of strange metals.
This is considered a magic weapon.
Under Xiao Zhi's long-term cultivation, this magical weapon has gradually become spiritual and has a spiritual spirit.
Xiao Zhi then let this weapon spirit control the floating airship to fly, and he was only responsible for giving it speed by using the ability of 'speaking and following the law'.
Although doing this would make Xiao Zhi's speed slower than when he was flying at full speed, Xiao Zhi could be freed to do other things.
As of now, Xiao Zhi has obtained thirteen cosmic essences.
From the past few years, he no longer flew by himself. Instead, he sat on the floating spaceship and began to devour and absorb the essence of the universe in his hands.
The way to use the essence of the universe is very simple, just open your mouth and swallow it.
The essence of the universe that is swallowed will dissolve little by little and turn into the most primitive and pure power of the universe.
What the cultivator needs to do is to absorb as much as possible the power that overflows from the essence of the universe, and at the same time, he must comprehend it like the law.
After a few years, most of the essence of the universe swallowed by Xiao Zhi has melted away.
Xiao Zhi also benefited a lot, and his understanding of the power of rules has deepened.
There was a feeling in his heart.
He felt that he had faintly touched the threshold of immortality.
At this time, Xiao Zhi, who was sitting cross-legged on the floating flying boat, suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes suddenly bloomed with two rays of blue-green light that looked like substance.
After using his ability to 'follow the words', Xiao Zhi turned his head and glanced in all directions.
This is considered a routine exploration.
In case some blind innate gods and demons were approaching and he didn't know about it yet.
The pointer floating in front of him would only react to the essence of the universe, and would not react at all to things like innate demons.
Xiao Zhi just turned his head and slowly scanned the darkness in front of him.
At this time, he seemed to see something, and his pupils shrank slightly.
He saw a small, faint spot of light.
This is not the spirit of the universe.
If he were the essence of the universe, the pointer floating in front of him would never be unresponsive.
Xiao Zhi hesitated for a moment, pointed towards the direction of the small light spot, and said, "This way."
The floating airship under his feet immediately adjusted its bow slightly and shot out like an arrow.
As the distance got closer, Xiao Zhi quickly saw clearly what this small point of light was.
This is a nebula that emits bright light.
To be precise, this is the prototype of a great realm that is in the process of being formed.
Over the years, Xiao Zhi has discovered more than a dozen prototypes of the Great Realm like this.
Seeing that this was the prototype of the Great Realm, Xiao Zhi did not leave in a hurry, but pointed forward and said: "Keep going!"
In the prototype of the Great Realm, there may also be the essence of the universe.
The essence of the universe that exists in the prototype of the Great Realm is blocked by layers of matter, so it is difficult to perceive its existence in the chaotic void. Only by going deep into it can its existence be perceived.
While piloting the floating airship to fly forward at high speed, Xiao Zhi called up a "star map" in his mind, and marked a small, swirling light spot at a certain location on it.
He is perfecting this star map.
At this time, hundreds of swirling light points have been marked on this star map.
As the distance continued to get closer, soon, the gorgeous dust-like material filled Xiao Zhi's entire field of vision.
Xiao Zhi's speed did not slow down and he continued to move forward on the floating airship.
Finally, he ran headlong into the gorgeous dust material in front of him.
The scene in front of me suddenly became bizarre.
This is a small world in the making.
In an instant, Xiao Zhi traveled through this small world and entered another.
After passing through dozens of small worlds, Xiao Zhi found nothing.
‘It seems that there is no essence of the universe in this prototype of the Great Realm.’ Xiao Zhi thought to himself.
'Let's go.'
When Xiao Zhi was about to leave this swirling nebula, the pointer floating in front of him shimmered at this moment.
Xiao Zhi caught this glimmer of light instantly, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his face!
The essence of the universe!
There is actually a cosmic essence in this prototype of the great realm!
You must know that before this, the cosmic-level powerhouses in the heavenly realm had only discovered two cosmic essences in this prototype of the great realm.
