Chapter 1272
[Immortal Realm Chapter] Cultivating Immortal Roots, Controlling Illusory Clouds
The audience was silent.
Upon hearing these words, the members of the Immortal Remnant Alliance looked at each other, bewildered and at a loss.
Killing the people on the mountain will naturally end the rewards bestowed by Heaven. This principle is simple and easy to understand. Who can't understand it?
But knowing and doing are two different things!
They've already successfully broken through to the Void Realm, a true Void Realm expert. Who would dare to go up there and court death?
Some people had shifty eyes and kept giving Master Yanling meaningful glances.
Ancestor Yanling smiled bitterly and lowered his head. Putting aside the fact that he had gone to great lengths to help Lin Shan break through to the Void Realm, he was also hoping that the other party could help him in the future. How could they possibly turn against each other?
Even if he were to go up and stop him, he might not be able to suppress him completely.
Although Lin Shan has only just stepped into the Void Realm, he has already proven one thing when he resisted the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation: that is, he has a highly accomplished domain in his hands!
Without a domain, this Void Transformation stage is indeed unworthy of its name, appearing quite immature and easily defeated by veteran Void Transformation cultivators.
But the opponent had prepared his domain long ago. Once he stepped into the Void Realm, his combat power would immediately take shape. He was not afraid of veteran Void Realm experts at all. Even if he couldn't beat them, he could always retreat unscathed. How could he have the confidence to turn against them?
The Annihilation Avatar was still fanning the flames, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
"What's wrong? Weren't you all pretty excited just now? Why are you all chickening out now? Look at your pathetic faces!"
If you don't have the ability, then don't shout!
Well, this guy was pointing his fingers like he was commanding troops, extremely arrogant, spitting everywhere, almost drenching the hundreds of people present with his saliva!
In short, it all means the same thing.
Everyone here is an ant!
A bunch of good-for-nothing cowards, only daring to huddle in the back and bark, but none of them dared to go up and say anything to our faces.
"We gave you the opportunity, but you were all useless!"
The members of the Immortal Remnant Alliance gritted their teeth and lowered their heads, finally recognizing reality. Everyone present was intelligent; knowing they couldn't resist, they naturally wouldn't step forward to their deaths.
Ancestor Yanling was struggling alone, but after a long struggle, he could only sigh helplessly. The sunk costs he had previously invested were simply too much for him to bear the consequences of turning against Lin Shan!
If you pretend not to care now, the other party will still owe you a favor.
But if you ruin someone's plans, then it will be a fight to the death, and they will have no hope left!
"Pfft, this is boring."
The Annihilation Avatar spat out the spirit herb it was chewing, waved listlessly, and left with its back to them.
I thought I'd have a chance to stretch my muscles and eat some junk food to whet my appetite, but who knew these guys were all talk and no action.
Over time, the spiritual environment of Kongtong Realm has declined sharply.
From the initial surge of spiritual energy, to the gradual decrease in concentration, then the thinning of spiritual energy, and finally approaching the end of the Dharma era.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, everyone personally witnessed this outrageous scene. The speed was simply outrageous, and the horror on their faces was almost palpable!
After finally enjoying twenty years of peaceful and stable life, it suddenly feels like we're back to square one. Who could bear such an extreme drop in status?
Panic spread across the scene. Some people wanted to escape, but in despair, they found they had nowhere to go, because this was the last pure land in the Cosmic of Light, and it was about to be reduced to ruins!
Rumble rumble rumble~~~
The entire mountain began to tremble violently, and countless large rocks fell, smashing and breaking countless trees on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain.
Looking around, the earth had turned from lush green to withered yellow. Without the blessing of spiritual energy, even plants could not survive!
The earth's veins also began to surge in response to the changes in the spiritual realm, and giant cracks opened up, stretching to the ends of the world, an unknown distance.
clack clack clack-
Even the sky began to crack, a spatial collapse caused by the contraction of the Kongtong Realm!
This spiritual realm is in the midst of apocalypse, and its collapse is imminent!
In order to bestow a reward, Heaven spared no effort to drain the entire Kongtong Realm. This is a manifestation of the universe's impartiality and selflessness, and precisely illustrates the ruthlessness of the Great Dao.
The group flew into the sky, and looking at the devastated and broken landscape, they couldn't help but take a deep breath. Their hands and feet were ice-cold, and their eyes were numb.
It was only at this moment that they truly realized their own insignificance and helplessness.
Twenty years ago, the Immortal Alliance fought a bloody battle and escaped under the pressure of being besieged by the entire universe. Those who were most willing to risk their lives and sacrifice themselves died on the way to cover the retreat and lure the enemy!
Those who remain today, after twenty years of complacency and laziness, have long lost their former fighting spirit.
Now I can only watch helplessly as the spiritual realm shatters, and from now on there will be no place for me in the vast universe. Perhaps my cultivation of immortality in this life is destined to be fruitless.
Some people secretly resent that they were born too late and at the wrong time. If they could have embarked on the path of immortality earlier and overcome all obstacles to reach the Void Realm, how could they be in such a passive position today?
But it was too late to say anything. Now everything was out of their hands. The figure in the sky who stirred up the storm remained unmoved as the world collapsed before their eyes, still standing atop the central mountain.
Under the apocalypse, the world was shrouded in darkness and grayness.
An exceptionally bright ball of light appeared out of nowhere in the air. From the moment it took shape, it revealed an extraordinary and moving spirituality, approaching the person it wanted to get close to with a mixture of bewilderment and curiosity.
"Come here."
Lin Shan smiled and told the little guy not to be afraid, extending his hand to it.
The ball of light hesitated, clearly wanting to get closer but also very shy. It timidly approached slowly, only to suddenly jump away when it was about to touch the light!
Through the ball of light, it appears to be a bead inside.
The yellowish-brown pearl, about the size of a pigeon's egg, is surrounded by clouds and has swirling wind patterns inside, giving it a misty, ethereal appearance, as if it holds a hidden world within!
Just one glance is enough to tell that it is an absolutely extraordinary treasure!
Lin Shan patiently and tirelessly tried to persuade Guang Tuan to come to his side, expressing his goodwill.
Finally, the other party could not resist the inexplicable closeness and timidly fell into his hands. At this moment, the Heavenly Dao binding was finally completed!
The enhancement panel popped up instantly:
【Spirit-Nourishing Pearl】(Already bound)
Quality: Mysterious Heavenly Treasure (Upgradable)
Introduction: The essence of the Heavenly Dao is combined and refined in the Kongtong Realm to form a personal cave heaven, which can be stored in the dantian for nurturing. Inside the pearl is a spiritual soil space of three zhang square, where any spiritual plant can be planted. No matter what state the plant is in, it can be brought back to life, and its growth rate doubles with the level of the spiritual pearl.
Current soil cultivation speed: three times
Enhancement required: 512 points
(Note: If you upgrade to the next quality in advance, it will not automatically advance after subsequent breakthroughs.) Lin Shan instantly understood the use of this bead: a portable medicine garden that can grow. Inside, the origin of the Heavenly Dao is transformed into the legendary Breath Soil, which can cultivate any spiritual root!
Therefore, the kind of rewards bestowed by Heaven depends entirely on the current environment in which Heaven grants them.
Clearly, the Microcosm had limited resources and could only transform the existing Kongtong Realm, so it simply condensed it into a cave and gave it to itself.
Actually, it's not bad. However, due to the current level of this bead, the speed at which it can accelerate the ripening of spiritual herbs is only three times.
The key is that this is a growth-type grotto-heaven, which means that you can continuously exploit the Heavenly Dao, and each breakthrough can be achieved by borrowing the essence of the Heavenly Dao to improve your rank!
When I become an immortal, I'm afraid the ripening speed can keep doubling!
The higher the speed, the faster it doubles, until it becomes super-doubled. Wouldn't all sorts of long-lived medicinal herbs grow like weeds?
Thinking of this,
On a sudden inspiration, he shook the Illusionary Ancient Tree out of the Spirit Beast Ring and transplanted it into the Spirit Nurturing Pearl, along with the Void Butterfly on the tree.
The Phantom Tree had always stayed in the Spirit Beast Ring and had never been to a good environment. Over the years, it had grown slowly along with him. Suddenly, it was moved to a new home and woke up to look around.
Upon discovering that he was standing on the legendary land of the Breath of Earth, and that the space inside the pearl seemed to be growing rapidly with an inexplicable mysterious power, he jumped three feet high in excitement!
Then dozens of legs instantly took root, comfortably branching out and spreading leaves, even waking up the Void Butterflies perched on the tree.
The little butterflies fluttered around, experiencing the uniqueness of the new environment, which was indeed much better than the spirit beast ring.
Seeing that spirit pets could also enter and exit, Lin Shan originally wanted to throw the Thunder Beast, Zouwu Venerable, and Cursed Spirit in together. However, considering that the three-zhang square space was a bit cramped, it was best to raise spirit plants and spirit pets separately. What kind of order would it be to mix them together?
Furthermore, we shouldn't waste the 'triple growth' feature!
He planted the seventh-tier spiritual herb 'Star Jade Fragment Flower' that he had picked from the cosmic ruins.
This flower was originally intended to help him break through to the sixth step of the Void Realm and confront his inner demons. However, the Microcosm was a remote and desolate place, and he never saw any inner demons descend until the end, so he couldn't use it.
However, it cannot be denied that this is a top-grade spiritual herb. If it can be continuously accelerated in the Spirit Nourishing Pearl in the future, it may come in handy when breaking through to the True Immortal realm!
Of course, he also wanted to test this treasure. After careful observation, he discovered that the accelerated growth of the Spirit Nourishing Pearl was not due to the laws of time, but simply because of the purity of the Breath Soil.
What is purity?
Breath Soil is a treasure of the soil system. The higher its purity, the greater its effect on spiritual plants. This is the origin of the so-called ripening effect.
He understood the simple principle, which left him with a slight sense of regret.
That's true. If simply breaking through to the Void Realm could reward someone with a treasure that combines space and time, that would be too incredible!
I thought it was the Immortal-Holding Bottle of Han Tianzun, a fictional character from a cultivation novel I read when I was a child, but it turns out it's a fake.
Even without the legendary miraculous powers, this item is still an invaluable treasure to him now.
The reward from Heaven has finally arrived, and I can finally relax completely.
He then quickly activated two other spiritual objects, namely Jingxiao Xiangyun and Wanxiang Xingyan. As soon as these two appeared, he felt something was wrong!
There seemed to be some kind of resistance brewing in the darkness, but the power of the rules was fiercely fighting against the will of Heaven.
At first, he didn't understand what was going on, but as the two spirit objects struggled, Lin Shan seemed to come to his senses.
The Heavenly Dao of the Microcosm is still struggling!
Logically speaking, anything bestowed by the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Universe should follow this advancement process no matter which world you go to in the future to break through your realm.
If Lin Shan breaks through to the Void Realm in the Immortal Realm, then without a doubt, these two treasures will advance his level on the spot.
The Microcosm has been separated from the Immortal Universe for so long, and now it is penniless. It just drained the Kongtong Realm to barely give away a Cave Heaven Spiritual Treasure. Now you want me to bleed you out to upgrade those two spiritual treasures. Have you no shame?
Lin Shan waited there with an innocent look on his face.
No,
If you can't afford it, then don't give it. The original rule for Heavenly Spiritual Objects was that they were growth-oriented. You Heavenly Dao should have been consistent from beginning to end, replenishing them for me every time you break through a realm. How could you stop supplying them?
The Heavenly Dao of the Microcosm clearly wants to shirk responsibility and doesn't want to bear the karma of the Immortal Dao Universe. It's one thing for the people you nurtured to come here and claim their rewards, but now you expect me to pay off your huge debt? Is that right?
The situation became deadlocked again, and the people from the Immortal Alliance below had become numb.
Even their leader, Ancestor Yanling, was a little bewildered at this moment!
The previous bead was followed by a cloud and a ball of fire. Is this also a reward from Heaven? The Kongtong Realm has been exhausted, and the Microcosm is completely devoid of resources. How else can it be extracted?
Considering Lin Shan's extraordinary background and the powerful figures backing him up, one can't help but secretly envy the life of this second-generation immortal, which is indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
We could only watch from afar, but at the same time, a sense of worry welled up in our hearts.
It seems that the Kongtong Realm has been drained dry, and the foundation of the spiritual realm is collapsing at an accelerated rate. It will probably collapse completely before long.
What we will do then is the most worrying thing.
Lin Shan in the sky couldn't care less about these things. He was still eagerly waiting for the Heavenly Dao to upgrade his spiritual object. Otherwise, would he have to strengthen it himself? That would be too much of a loss!
Fortunately, after a while, the Heavenly Dao of the Microcosm finally gave in.
After all, the size of the Immortal Dao Universe is too large, and its rules are extremely restrictive. If a local Heavenly Dao goes bankrupt due to its own mismanagement, then it is its own fault. It has to provide after-sales service and cannot ignore it!
Finally, after consuming his essence, the two spiritual items were upgraded to the seventh rank.
The first item was the auspicious clouds of Jingxiao, which evolved from green clouds into ethereal white clouds, casting a curtain of light over them, as if isolating them from the world:
【Yu Xu Huan Yun】(Already bound)
Quality: Seventh-tier Spirit Cloud (Upgradable)
Introduction: Companion Spirit Cloud, a gift from Heaven, can grow as its master's cultivation level increases. Its current functions are as follows:
① Wind-based blessing: Increases cultivation speed and assists in practicing wind-based spells or supernatural abilities.
② A clear mind: helps to enter a meditative state, clear away distracting thoughts, and calm the mind.
③ Protective Azure Light: It protects the master from enemies at all times and absorbs some of the damage.
④ Disguised Clouds: Conceal your form, suppress your aura, and prevent detection.
⑤ Zodiac Blessing: Conceals the face, brings auspiciousness, passively enhances zodiac states such as "harvest", "perfection", and "luck", and increases the success rate of cultivating techniques, comprehending supernatural powers, and refining pills and weapons.
⑥ Auspicious Clouds: The spiritual clouds transform into pale golden auspicious energy, enveloping oneself or teammates. This energy can quickly heal physical wounds, repair damaged meridians, and nourish the primordial spirit.
⑦ Qi Disguise: The Spirit Cloud possesses a built-in Qi concealment function, blocking all Qi observation techniques and preventing the host's foundation from being revealed. Furthermore, it can use its imagination to fabricate external disguises, deceiving opponents with false Qi!
Enhancement required: 512 points
(Note: If the upgrade is completed ahead of schedule to the next quality level, it will no longer automatically upgrade after the original owner's cultivation level breaks through.)
Lin Shan burst out laughing upon seeing this.
What? This newly advanced companion spirit cloud allows me to fabricate fake luck to deceive people?
His eyes darted around, and he suddenly felt a surge of cunning, which he began to quietly brew. (End of Chapter)
