My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World
Chapter 47 The Towering Jianmu
The serpent vine has been with him the longest, and it was originally cultivated as his protector.
However, Zhao Xuan took the path of the Mythical Great Luo, rebuilt his cultivation foundation, and subdued the Heavenly Stems Squad, making the existence of the Serpent Vine seem somewhat useless.
In the end, he could only become the head of the logistics team.
This is also because it has been nourished by the Daoist essence of the Source Blood Treasure Tree and the Enlightenment Tea Tree.
The gods are the race that finds it easiest to break through cultivation realms.
Next is the Holy Race.
The Protoss's mission is a continuous one, requiring a long process of growth. This mission is not irreplaceable, and they may die at any time while fulfilling it.
The mission of the Holy Race is non-continuous, yet extremely important and irreplaceable.
It is called destiny.
Before fulfilling their destiny, the Holy Race is protected by the destiny and will surely cultivate to the level that enables them to fulfill it.
For example, Houtu, the Lord of the Earth and the Netherworld, was ordained to create the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which requires cultivation at the eleventh or even twelfth realm.
Although the Spirit Race is classified as part of the Demon Race, it is actually closer to the God Race or the Holy Race.
Of course, this "easy" doesn't mean "fast," as time is meaningless to these long-lived species.
The ease here lies in the absence of bottlenecks; the Protoss can continuously improve themselves by fulfilling their missions.
The spirit race consists of spiritual plants, and these plants have the merit of regulating the world when they grow there.
Although the cultivation speed is slow, it can still be continuously improved.
But the serpent vine is, after all, just a spiritual creature.
Just as the realm of the Holy Race depends on their destiny, the realm of the Spirit Race depends on their origin.
The origins of the Spirit Race are divided into Mortal, Spirit, Saint, Treasure, and God.
Only spirits at the Spiritual Origin level and above can communicate with spirits, and only after communicating with spirits can they cultivate.
The limit of a Spirit-level Origin is the third realm, the limit of a Saint-level Origin is the sixth realm, the limit of a Treasure-level Origin is the ninth realm, and a God-level Origin can be cultivated up to the twelfth realm.
The origin of the Tongtian Jianmu (a type of tree) is a divine origin.
The origin of the Wudao Tea Tree is a treasure-level origin.
Although the Source Blood Divine Tree has the word "divine" in its name, it is actually a treasure-level source.
Each level of origin is divided into four grades: top-grade, superior-grade, middle-grade, and inferior-grade.
The upper, middle, and lower grades each represent a realm of spiritual constraints.
Those who reach the highest level may break through their current level and ascend to an even higher level.
The Enlightenment Tea Tree is a top-grade treasure-level source, while the source of the Blood Source Tree is only a high-grade treasure-level source.
In other words, the Source Blood Divine Tree can grow to the ninth realm, which is to raise the acquired bloodline to its limit, but it is useless for the innate bloodline.
The serpent vine's origin is a high-grade spiritual origin, meaning that the serpent vine can only grow to the peak of the third realm at most.
However, Zhao Xuan's tree was nurtured within the domain by the Source Blood Divine Tree, a treasure-grade superior source, and the Enlightenment Tea Tree, a treasure-grade supreme source.
Nourished by the Daoist essence of the Source Blood Divine Tree and the Enlightenment Tea Tree, and further enhanced by Zhao Xuan's use of Evolutionary Enlightenment to integrate the Daoist essence of the Source Blood Divine Tree and the Enlightenment Tea Tree into the essence of the Serpent Vine,
That's what gave the Serpent Vine the ability to advance to the fifth realm.
However, the essence of the serpentine vine did not improve.
After that, Zhao Xuan would no longer be able to use the Golden Flower to comprehend and improve.
However, the appearance of the fragments of the Tongtian Jianmu gave the serpent vine another opportunity.
The serpentine vine is associated with the element of wood (乙木), while the two precious trees are associated with the element of wood (
Therefore, even though the serpentine vine absorbed the Dao essence of the two great treasure trees, it could only allow Zhao Xuan to use methods to advance his cultivation level.
But the fundamental source cannot be improved.
The Tongtian Jianmu is a divine-grade supreme source material, and it is the ancestor of all trees.
The Daoist essence of that fragment was enough to allow the serpentine vine to transcend the categories of Jia Wood and Yi Wood, completely absorbing the Daoist essence of the Source Blood Divine Tree and the Enlightenment Tea Tree to reach the highest level.
Moreover, it allows the serpent vine to possess a wisp of the Wood Ancestor's authority, enabling it to control other plants and trees.
Zhao Xuan asked the stall owner about the price.
Zhao Xuan gasped. Four hundred purple gold coins, or four hundred billion merit points.
What kind of price is this? One merit point is equivalent to one wisp of spiritual energy.
Ten strands of spiritual energy enter the grade; the mortal realm reaches the ninth grade with sixty strands of spiritual energy at its peak.
Each grade contains sixty more spiritual energies than the previous grade.
The mortal realm is perfected with six hundred strands of spiritual energy.
The Grandmaster Realm has reached a peak of 1,200 spiritual energies.
The Grandmaster realm is at its peak with 1,800 strands of spiritual energy.
From the ninth rank of the Divine Realm to the first rank of perfection, it takes 2,400 strands of spiritual energy.
To achieve the Divine Realm Perfection Three Treasures Golden Flower, one needs to raise their spiritual energy to level four.
That is, 2,400 strands of level 4 spiritual energy, which is equivalent to 2.4 million strands of level 1 spiritual energy.
The gap between Saint Realms is larger, with each grade increasing by 24 million first-level spiritual energy.
Achieving the peak of the Sacred Realm is equivalent to a tenfold increase.
The Sacred Realm Perfection is equivalent to 240 million first-level spiritual energies.
In other words, 240 million merit points can be used to purchase spiritual items that allow a person to cultivate to the Saint Realm Perfection.
The value of a complete Saint-level treasure, the Void Core, is only one hundred billion merit points, or one piece of purple gold.
This fragment of the towering Jianmu tree, no bigger than the palm of your hand, is priced at the equivalent of four hundred complete void cores.
Zhao Xuan could only say that he was either ignorant or unaware of the true situation in the cultivation world.
After the stall owner's explanation, Zhao Xuan realized that he was indeed ignorant.
Upon reaching the Saint Realm level, the price of merit points drops by more than tenfold.
The Holy Realm hunts in the starry sky, where the monsters are virtually endless.
However, there are limitations on the spiritual things in the world.
This means that many Saint Realm cultivators cannot promptly exchange their merit points for cultivation resources.
Therefore, the Holy Realm generally uses exchange methods such as quests and bounties.
This method requires more effort than direct exchange.
Therefore, merit points are not very valuable.
At this point, lapis lazuli or purple gold, which directly contain the aura of destiny, take on the function of the equivalent.
The power of fortune within a purple-gold stone, when converted into spiritual energy, is equivalent to ten quadrillion merit points that can normally be exchanged for the spiritual energy contained within a spiritual object.
However, the power of fortune within the purple gold is easier to absorb than that from spiritual objects.
Therefore, the actual exchange ratio between Purple Gold and Merit Points is one to one hundred billion.
Lapis lazuli is one ten-thousandth the value of purple gold, and its exchange ratio with merit points is one to one trillion.
But compared to lapis lazuli, people still prefer purple gold.
Purple gold can not only be used as a reserve of spiritual energy, but also to forge various weapons and magical artifacts.
Weapons and magical artifacts forged from purple gold are incredibly hard and powerful because they contain the luck of the human race, and they kill without incurring any karmic consequences.
The sacrificial artifacts crafted by those who advance from the Divine Realm to the Lesser Perfection of the Sacred Body require the incorporation of purple gold to be refined.
Afterwards, the Dao-entrusting artifact can grow along with the cultivator's growth, because purple gold can contain fortune. As the cultivator's realm improves, their own fortune also improves.
The integration of one's own fortune into the purple gold is equivalent to improving the quality of the purple gold, and thus the quality of the sacred artifact is also improved.
Luck is a panacea in human cultivation; it never loses its value.
Zhao Xuan also possesses a considerable amount of purple gold.
However, the power of fortune within these purple-gold artifacts has been absorbed, leaving only an empty shell.
Even so, it is still very valuable, as the fortune within the purple gold can be replenished.
It is equivalent to a very convenient gas storage device.
This was the salary that Zhao Mingcheng gave to Zhao Xuan after he became emperor.
Ordinary people use these things to trade and replenish their luck. After replenishing their luck, they offer them to the imperial court, which then transfers them to the eleven heavenly courts.
After the body is used, the Heavenly Court collects it and returns it to the mortal realm, continuing the process.
The mortal realm is the logistics department and arsenal of the Heavenly Court.
The Heavenly Court protects the mortal realm from harm by the Starry Sky Demon Clan.
Of course, the mortal realm is not only Earth; each of the eleven Heavenly Courts has a mortal realm to supply itself.
It's just that Earth is the mortal realm that produces the greatest fortune.
Every year, the eleven Heavenly Courts send purple-gold bodies into Earth. These purple-gold bodies are also the key to the royal family's ability to control the cultivators of the Holy Realm in their country.
The purple gold used by Zhao Xuancheng to forge the twelve-layered exquisite pagoda, a sacred artifact for the Dao, was supplemented and completed by the purple gold provided by the Zhao royal family.
Despite its impressive appearance, the twelve-tiered exquisite pagoda only used three pieces of purple gold.
The price was that Zhao Xuancheng would have to join the forces of the Great Qin Heavenly Court after leaving Earth.
Once people from Earth arrive in space, they must join a certain faction.
However, the human race does not have only one power.
The Eleven Heavenly Courts are eleven different powers, and they are still relatively recent ancient heavenly courts.
Besides the recent ancient Heavenly Court, there is also the ancient Heavenly Court and the prehistoric Heavenly Court.
There was only one ancient Heavenly Court, which was established by the Great Emperor of Burial Heaven.
After Emperor Xu severed the Jianmu tree that connected heaven and earth, he ended the ancient era.
The ancient era produced eighteen human emperors, and the eighteen human emperor eras were passed down.
Twelve ancient celestial courts were established.
The near-ancient era has passed through eleven emperors and established eleven near-ancient celestial courts.
Besides the Heavenly Court, there is also the Underworld.
An ancient underworld, established by the Yellow Springs Emperor.
The six remaining human emperors of the ancient era established six ancient underworlds.
Four underworlds were also established in the near-ancient era.
Beyond the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, there are also the ancient grotto-heavens established by three human ancestors, three human emperors, and six other leaders.
There are twenty-four heavenly courts, eleven underworlds, and six great grotto heavens.
This is the legitimate power of the human race.
After leaving Earth, people can choose to join one of these forty-one factions.
These forty-one forces and the six major grotto-heavens are composed of countless minor grotto-heavens.
The Great Cave Heaven was formed by the gathering of countless Small Cave Heavens by people from all walks of life.
Of the twenty-four Heavenly Courts, the Ancient Heavenly Court and the Primordial Heavenly Court are already in a closed or semi-closed state, and basically no longer accept newcomers except for geniuses.
The ancient underworld and the ancient underworld are quite similar.
It mainly consists of eleven ancient celestial courts and four ancient underworlds, with six major grotto-heavens absorbing later generations to join.
In the beginning, the human race divided the starry sky into four star regions.
As the human race's power grew, they divided the four star regions into the Twenty-Eight Constellation Star Regions.
Humanity's situation in the stars has only improved over time.
There are now twelve celestial courts in the starry sky: one ancient celestial court and eleven modern celestial courts.
Centered on Earth, each celestial court guards a 30-degree section of the sky.
It guards the starry sky, which spans twelve trillion kilometers from Earth.
Those enclosed and semi-enclosed celestial courts went deeper into the starry sky, like nails firmly driven into the cosmos.
Since the rise of the Great Emperor of Burial Heaven and the Great Emperor of Yellow Springs, the human race has gained the upper hand on Earth after driving out the gods, saints, and ghosts.
As the ancient human race grew stronger, the demon race gradually migrated to the stars.
In other words, the demon race had been cultivating the cosmos for millions of years longer than the human race.
In addition, the resources in the starry sky are not necessarily less than those on Earth, but they are more scattered.
Whether there is war or not, the demon race can reproduce as vigorously as possible.
This resulted in a very large demon race in the starry sky.
Some demon races are no longer restricted by Earth, allowing their size to increase without limit.
These demons even grew into giant star beasts the size of planets.
Such a massive cosmic behemoth would naturally be incredibly fast, venturing deep into the cosmos to an unknown distance.
These demon races could reproduce even in the distant starry sky, but their descendants always cherished their ancestral homeland and were always thinking of launching a counterattack against Earth.
The Twelve Near-Earth Heavenly Courts were established for the development of the starry sky and to compete with the demon race for resource planets.
The Twelve Distant Heavenly Courts were established to fight against the Starry Sky Beasts.
Therefore, the longer the Heavenly Court has been established, the more perfect its system and personnel become, and the safer the people and positions in the Heavenly Court become.
The Great Qin Heavenly Court has only established eight reigns, making it relatively young in comparison.
In other words, the Qin Heavenly Court is still engaged in continuous warfare, which is why its demand for purple gold has increased.
Zhao Xuancheng used the purple gold that should have belonged to the Great Qin Heavenly Court, and now he wants to join the Great Qin Heavenly Court.
This demonstrates the high value of Zijin.
A single piece of the towering Jianmu tree is worth as much as four hundred pieces of purple gold.
Even if Zhao Xuancheng sold it a hundred times, he would only get three hundred purple gold coins.
Although the Tongtian Jianmu tree appears from time to time, as the ancestor of all trees and an existence that connects the three realms, its Daoist charm is so high and profound that Zhao Xuan really doesn't want to let go of it.
It can be said that the fragments of the Tongtian Jianmu tree are the only chance for all cultivators to possibly come into contact with the Twelve Realms.
This is Earth; in the starry sky, it would be impossible for anyone to trade.
After thinking about it, Zhao Xuan decided to make the exchange.
Zhao Xuan transmitted his voice to the Serpent Vine with his soul. The Serpent Vine's domain unfolded, and a spatial fluctuation flashed by. Four thousand cubic meters of Three Lights Divine Water appeared within the space of Zhao Xuan's Green Bamboo Staff.
He said to the stall owner, "Senior, I don't have enough purple gold or merit points, but I see that you seem to be practicing medicine. I have four thousand cubic meters of Saint Realm level Three Lights Divine Water. Would you be willing to exchange it with me?"
Upon hearing this, the stall owner's expression hardened. "If that's really the case, then it's acceptable."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan saw a milky-white river about the thickness of a thumb appear in his hand; it was the Three Lights Divine Water.
The stall owner probed several times with his divine sense, and a stream of magical power swept over the Three Lights Divine Water River in Zhao Xuan's hand, drawing it into his domain.
Then, he used his magic to roll up the fragments of the Tongtian Jianmu tree and threw them to Zhao Xuan.
Then it turned into a streak of blue light and disappeared.
Zhao Xuan was slightly taken aback, then chuckled softly.
Why?
The fragments of the towering Jianmu tree had lost their spiritual energy and vitality, leaving only an empty shell.
Its value has been greatly reduced.
However, what Zhao Xuan needed was not spiritual energy and vitality. Although there wasn't much left in that body, with Zhao Xuan's Golden Flower Spirit Transformation ability, he could still make full use of it.
As for the Three Lights Divine Water, it wasn't nearly as valuable to Zhao Xuan.
After the Serpent Vine reached the Saint Realm, it became a Gardener.
Whether it's cultivating grains or nurturing the two precious trees, the best thing is the Three Lights Divine Water.
While the Serpent Vine was preparing delicacies, it was condensing the Three Lights Divine Water, and now there is a lake of Three Lights Divine Water within the Serpent Vine's domain.
It is usually used for watering.
