My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Its trunk is incredibly thick, requiring several people to encircle it. The bark is rough and thick, with crisscrossing patterns, like deep marks left by time. The canopy, like a giant parasol, shades a large part of the sky, bringing coolness and tranquility to the entire cave.

The energy within the grotto is comparable to that of the legendary Kunlun Mountains in ancient times.

After Zhao Xuan landed, two streams of light flew from the trunks of the two large trees on the east and west sides and landed in front of Zhao Xuan, transforming into the figures of an old man and a burly man, both in semi-transparent spiritual form. They bowed to Zhao Xuan and addressed him as "Your Excellency".

Zhao Xuan nodded. "You two venerable deities, there's no need for such formalities. Have you been well for the past thousand years?"

"I dare not accept the name of the revered deity, but I am blessed by Your Majesty and all is well," the old man said, bowing.

The burly-looking man nodded in agreement.

Zhao Xuan smiled and said, "You two are the condensed true spirits of the innate divine tree, so you naturally deserve the title of revered gods."

He then said, "To my shame, I have not yet sent you any congratulatory gifts since you two were able to emerge as spirits. Please feel free to speak if you have any needs."

"I wouldn't dare," the old man said.

But the burly man asked, "Your Excellency, do you still have Creation Crystals?"

Zhao Xuan found it amusing.

These two were none other than the spiritual manifestations of the Enlightenment Tea Tree and the Source Blood Divine Tree.

The old man is the spirit of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, and the strong man is the spirit of the Source Blood Divine Tree.

These two individuals are unmatched in terms of their background; they possess innate advantages.

Their true forms were born along with the Heavenly Dao of the Grotto-Heaven, without any distinction of precedence, so they can be considered innate beings.

Although the Heavenly Dao of a grotto-heaven is not the same as the Heavenly Dao of the human immortal realm, it is still an innate foundation.

Such beings can never leave the grotto-heaven; they will perish with the destruction of the grotto-heaven.

However, the Great Dao will always leave a glimmer of hope. By chance, when the grotto-heaven is destroyed, if one is fortunate enough to be born, one can survive in the realm of human immortals.

However, it will damage the source, leaving only a trace of instinctive spirituality, which is difficult to recover.

The serpent vine had to be fed countless amounts of the Three Lights Divine Water to barely replenish the essence of both, allowing them to develop their own spirituality.

Then, after being fed an unknown amount of the Three Lights Divine Water, their individual spiritualities were able to detach from the tree and take on physical form.

Although it is not a physical manifestation, it can still be called an innate spirit.

The reason why Zhao Xuan did not come when the two of them transformed into human form was actually due to the distinction between primary and secondary roles.

There is a bloodline gap between innate beings and acquired beings, and acquired beings will unconsciously be considered inferior to innate beings.

Zhao Xuan would naturally not allow this situation to occur.

However, now, the Yin-Yang Creation Dao Seed has successfully transformed, and its physical form is equivalent to a primordial deity who has mastered one-tenth of the Yin-Yang Creation Rules, and its foundation surpasses both of them.

Zhao Xuan himself was naturally imbued with the aura of innate divinity, which is why he came to subdue the two.

The two were quite perceptive; sensing the innate divine aura emanating from Zhao Xuan, they immediately submitted to him.

Moreover, although Zhao Xuan had never seen the two after their spiritual transformation, he had heard about it from the snake vine.

After the Enlightened Tea Tree was spiritualized, it developed a well-rounded personality, while the Source Blood Divine Tree developed a simple and honest personality.

When the Serpent Vine used the Three Lights Divine Water, the cave was sealed off. But as soon as Zhao Xuan took out the Creation Crystal, the Enlightenment Tea Tree Spirit snatched it away and poured out all the Three Lights Divine Water.

The spirit of the Blood Tree was honest and simple-minded, but Zhao Xuan didn't know it was so simple-minded that it actually asked for something.

Zhao Xuan reacted instantly and said, "This time, the Three Lights Divine Water should have condensed a few Creation Crystals. The Venerable God can ask for them from the Serpent Vine later."

The spirit of the Blood Tree showed joy and, reminded by the Enlightenment Tea Tree, quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency."

Zhao Xuan waved his hand and said, "The two Venerable Gods have already taken human form. I wonder if they have condensed their true names?"

The spirits of the Enlightened Tea Tree and the Blood Origin Tree exchanged a glance and said, "Our spirituality is newly born, and we have not yet recognized the Lord of Creation, so we dare not condense our true names."

"Your Excellency, in your mercy, please grant us your true names so that our spiritual practice may be truly complete."

After saying this, he knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhao Xuan reached out to stop the two. At this moment, the nine clones had finished playing around and Hua Kaixu appeared in the cave.

Seeing this, it nodded to Zhao Xuan, and its elephant body transformed into a rule that flew into Zhao Xuan's body.

Zhao Xuan's aura changed, and boundless pressure swept across the entire cave, causing all living beings in the cave to bow down and kneel before this pressure.

Then, a voice as detached as the Great Dao uttered from his mouth, pointing to the old man transformed from the spirit of the Enlightenment Tea Tree: "You are transformed from the Enlightenment Tea Tree, and your wisdom is boundless. But you must know that extreme wisdom will surely bring harm. You shall be called Jin Yan. Remember that the Dao heart is subtle, the human heart is perilous. Be refined and single-minded, and hold fast to the mean."

The spirit of the Enlightened Tea Tree pondered for a moment, then bowed three times and said, "Thank you for bestowing upon me my true name, Your Excellency. I express my gratitude."

As soon as the Spirit of the Enlightenment Tea Tree finished speaking, a wisp of energy appeared in Zhao Xuan's hand and flew into the Enlightenment Tea Tree. The aura on the Enlightenment Tea Tree immediately became three times thicker, and it bowed three more times before standing up and standing behind Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan pointed his hand at the burly man who had been transformed from the spirit of the Origin Blood Divine Tree. "You were transformed from the Origin Blood Divine Tree, and your blood and qi are astonishing. However, your original form is difficult to shed, and you have a spirit but no soul. Therefore, I will borrow the name of my friend to help you form a physical body. From now on, you will be called Zhenwu."

Without waiting for the spirit of the Origin Blood Divine Tree to react, Zhao Xuan sent a wisp of energy from his hand into the Origin Blood Divine Tree. The Origin Blood Divine Tree's energy changed even more dramatically, with strands of flesh and blood forming from its semi-transparent spiritual form. This process continued for a moment before stopping.

The spirit of the Blood Tree happily stroked its own body before bowing down. It bowed nine times before saying, "Zhenwu thanks Your Excellency for bestowing this name upon you."

Zhao Xuan nodded, and the elephant body flew out of his body, its aura beginning to decline.

After catching his breath, slightly exhausted, Zhao Xuan said to the two of them, "You two help the Serpent Vine manage the cave, and don't forget your own cultivation."

The two quickly agreed, and Zhao Xuan waved his hand, dismissing them.

After the two left, Zhao Xuan plopped down and looked at his nine clones with a wry smile: "This is blatant revenge."

The nine clones exchanged a smile, then flew into Zhao Xuan's Purple Mansion.

The fatigue on Zhao Xuan's body disappeared, and he chuckled twice before vanishing into the cave.

Zhao Xuan himself is still an acquired being and cannot withstand the power of the innate divine, even though the elephant body is his clone.

To use the power of the elephant body, the other clones should first merge with Zhao Xuan, and then the other clones can carry the elephant body.

When the other eight avatars helped the elephant body and the Dao seed transform, their energy was connected with the elephant body. Although they themselves did not transform into the innate divine body, they also took the opportunity to transform into the innate body.
