Chapter 1352
Receiving the Source, A New Bond Returns
"It contains the essence of heaven and earth, and the spiritual water I brought back before should be one of them."
As for the special places where the power of origin is fused, Brother Qu must be referring to the secret realms created by those ancient Nascent Soul cultivators who carved out their own spaces!
"That's right! That's exactly what I meant."
When Song Qingming heard Qu Bai mention the spiritual power of the origin of heaven and earth, he thought it referred to the origin of the Huayang Realm, which he could not touch at all.
Only after the other party explained did he understand what he meant, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although it is not easy to find things containing primordial spiritual power in the cultivation world, Song Qingming knows quite a bit about the secret realms opened up by ancient cultivators.
With his current cultivation level at the Nascent Soul stage, refining a portion of the original spiritual power would not be difficult for him.
"Brother Qu, do you know what use the fruit that grows on this innate spiritual root is after it ripens?"
"Well, as I just told my brother, this is the first time I've ever seen this item, and I don't know the details."
Legend has it that the things nurtured from innate spiritual roots are all different and varied.
Some spiritual fruits can be directly consumed to help cultivators improve their cultivation level, while others can be cultivated into extremely powerful innate spiritual treasures.
Some people say that these innate spiritual objects contain a trace of the laws of heaven and earth, which can help cultivators comprehend many powerful supernatural abilities.
.
In short, these are just rumors I've heard, and I can't judge whether they're true or false.
Once this thing is fully cultivated, we should be able to see some clues.
"Innate spiritual treasures, laws of heaven and earth... what are these things? Are they also like the Xuan Tian spiritual treasures?"
Seeing Song Qingming looking at him with surprise, "Qu Bai" nodded to him earnestly.
“Mysterious Heavenly Treasures are also divided into two types: innate and acquired. The innate spiritual treasures I am talking about are born with the power of the origin of heaven and earth, and their power and supernatural abilities are generally superior to ordinary acquired spiritual treasures.”
However, I have never seen a real innate spiritual treasure, and this is all I know. I don't know how big the gap is.
As for the laws of heaven and earth, they are a special divine power that only powerful cultivators in the upper realm can comprehend, and I cannot describe the specifics to you.
In short, you'll gradually come into contact with these things once you reach the upper realm.
"If that's the case, although this item is extremely precious, I'm not sure I'll be able to use it right now."
I thought that Qu Bai would recognize what was in front of him and know what its purpose was, but I didn't expect that the other party only had a superficial understanding.
Regardless of whether Qu Bai's speculation is true or false.
If this thing is truly as he says, and it contains some kind of innate spiritual treasure or a high-level treasure that comprehends the laws of heaven and earth, then it is controlled by powerful cultivators in the upper realm.
For Song Qingming, who is currently focused on sneaking into the upper realm, the gap is too large, and it is unlikely that he will be able to use it for the time being.
If one cannot successfully ascend, it is really just an insignificant matter, whether one has one more or one less thing.
After receiving the reply, Song Qingming did not show much joy on his face, but simply stood there and replied softly.
On Qu Bai's side, upon hearing his somewhat disappointed tone, his expression suddenly turned serious.
"Brother Song, although I don't know exactly what the treasure nurtured within this innate spiritual root is."
However, there's something I feel I need to remind you of first.
The value contained within innate spiritual roots is far beyond your imagination. In the upper realm, it has caused numerous wars, and some forces were even wiped out as a result.
If one day you manage to sneak into the upper realm, you must never reveal this item to anyone.
Otherwise, once you're targeted by those powerful cultivators, there's absolutely no way you could protect this item with your supernatural abilities; there are many examples of this in the Upper Realm.
Seeing that Qu Bai, who was usually very knowledgeable, had a rather solemn expression on his face, Song Qingming immediately nodded to him.
"Brother Qu, rest assured, I have cultivated for so many years and know how to advance and retreat. I will not be too greedy for treasures."
If this treasure is truly useful to me, I can certainly take it to the upper realm.
If it is something that brings both good and bad fortune, and I don't need it in the future, I might as well leave it in the mortal realm.
My immediate priority is to improve my cultivation level and prepare for my illicit journey to the upper realm.
While treasures are valuable, they must be useful to oneself; otherwise, they can bring disaster upon oneself.
For Song Qingming, the most important thing now is to improve his cultivation level as soon as possible in order to prepare for his future ascension to the upper realm.
This spiritual root of heaven and earth is truly not something I can easily possess.
At worst, we can leave it in the lower realm to avoid bringing trouble upon ourselves.
"Hmm! This thing can't be used in this world, and probably no one will know its value, so there's no need to worry too much."
I'm just offering a heads-up; you know what I mean, brother.
Seeing that Song Qingming didn't seem to be overly greedy for the item, Qu Bai nodded with satisfaction.
"Brother Song, this contains some methods for absorbing the power of origin. You can take a look at it first."
As long as you can find a spiritual object containing primordial power, or a secret realm, you can absorb the primordial power within to cultivate this spiritual root of heaven and earth.
Furthermore, this spiritual root of heaven and earth can enhance the flow of spiritual energy in the surrounding world, and it is also a natural spirit-gathering array.
You'd better transplant it to your own cave dwelling; it will provide some additional benefits to your cultivation."
"Oh! I didn't know this thing had this function. Thank you for reminding me, Brother Qu!"
When Song Qingming entered the magic array earlier, he also felt that the flow of spiritual energy in this place was much faster than in other places outside.
Now that he heard "Qu Bai" remind him, he confirmed what he had in mind and nodded with a smile.
".
Half a month later, near a barren mountain in the southeast of "Qingyun Mountain".
A streak of light flew swiftly from afar and stopped above a patch of somewhat charred rocks, revealing a figure in a green robe.
After carefully scanning his surroundings, the man in the green robe raised his hand and summoned a giant golden sword.
As the golden sword light pierced through the void, a crescent-shaped gap suddenly appeared in the air ahead, as if the sky had been torn open with a crimson wound.
Suddenly, gusts of wind swept through the room, and countless flames rained down from the sky.
"Sure enough, it's here!"
Upon seeing this scene in the sky, the man in the green robe immediately smiled.
Then, as soon as he stepped into the Spirit Light Cave, his figure disappeared into mid-air, transforming into a streak of azure light to welcome the raging flames as they entered.
Once the man in the green robe disappeared, the crack that had appeared in mid-air quickly healed and returned to its original state.
In the dim void, a figure descended from the sky and landed above a swamp.
Before he could see his surroundings clearly,
Then came a rustling sound of footsteps behind me.
As soon as he looked up, a fierce tiger with piercing eyes and a white forehead appeared not far beside him, staring intently at the unfamiliar figure before him.
"It's been so many years! It's been a long time!"
A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the man in the green robe, only to see the once menacing white tiger suddenly fall to the ground and remain motionless.
After resolving the immediate trouble, Song Qingming looked up and scanned his surroundings, only to discover that the swamp he was in had turned into an isolated island floating in mid-air.
All around were various scenes, cut into fragments, slowly moving through the void.
A bright, round sun shines high in the sky.
However, the blazing sun appeared to have several cracks when viewed from afar, resembling a shattered mirror, which looked quite eerie.
"This place has indeed collapsed. No wonder no one has discovered it all these years."
The shattered space where Song Qingming was located was the secret realm where he was coerced by the Fire Phoenix to help her find spiritual objects.
The last time he came here, he was a timid and inexperienced Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Faced with the threat of the great demon king Fire Phoenix, Song Qingming went through countless hardships to successfully complete his mission and escape with his life. Now, thinking back, it was already a thousand years ago.
When I first entered this secret realm, it was already on the verge of collapse. Now, so many years later, the space here has long since crumbled, and dangerous spatial cracks are everywhere.
This kind of place is no longer suitable for low-level cultivators to enter.
Once you collide with a spatial rift, even a Nascent Soul cultivator will find it difficult to escape unscathed.
However, Song Qingming's cultivation has now reached the Nascent Soul stage, allowing him to easily deal with the surrounding spatial rifts and freely walk through this broken void.
After carefully surveying his surroundings, Song Qingming immediately took out the "Sacred Star Disc" from his person and began to sit cross-legged and cast a spell.
With both sides closed, Song Qingming probed the surrounding void with his divine sense.
Before long, a faint aura appeared in the void, attracting Song Qingming's attention.
As soon as he activated the "Sacred Star Disc" in front of him, drops of golden spiritual light immediately emerged from the surrounding void fragments, like golden raindrops flowing into Song Qingming's hand.
"Indeed, this is the primordial power of heaven and earth in this space. Brother Song, you were able to comprehend it so quickly. Your comprehension is indeed better than I expected."
Next, this secret realm has already collapsed, and once the source power is absorbed, the space will collapse at any time.
When you absorb the power of origin, you need to be careful and remember to leave yourself some room for maneuver.
"Don't worry, Brother Qu, I know what I'm doing!"
Song Qingming nodded slightly, then closed his eyes and continued to concentrate on casting the spell.
".
Half a month later, a circular vortex suddenly appeared in the void outside.
Before long, a figure in a green robe emerged from inside, looking disheveled.
At this moment, Song Qingming's green robe was charred in many places, and many parts were cut into pieces, revealing bloody wounds underneath.
"That was close! We finally made it out."
"Brother Song, didn't I remind you before that the space there has already collapsed and you can't cast spells too quickly? Why are you still so eager to succeed?"
"Your cultivation is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, yet you want to refine the primordial power of such a large space in just half a month? Who goes to such lengths!"
"Brother Qu, I'm so sorry."
This was also my first time absorbing primordial power, which is why I didn't control myself properly. Who knew that space would collapse so quickly?
Previously, when absorbing the "power of the origin of heaven and earth" inside, "Qu Bai" had reminded Song Qingming to be careful of the secret realm space collapsing.
However, Song Qingming used the remaining map on his body to help restore his magic power, which increased his spellcasting speed several times over. In just half a month, he successfully absorbed all the "power of the origin of heaven and earth" in the secret realm.
This caused the surrounding space to suddenly collapse, and the two of them fell directly into the spatial rift.
Fortunately, the Sacred Star Disc in Qu Bai's possession was a treasure that could break through space, helping them escape from the spatial rift in time.
At this moment, he looked at Song Qingming in front of him with a rather helpless expression.
"Fine! If I had known you were carrying so many mana-restoring pills, I should have warned you sooner. It's my fault for underestimating your casting speed."
Next time, remember not to be so reckless.
Even for a Nascent Soul cultivator, falling into a spatial rift is extremely dangerous.
If it weren't for the Holy Star Disc opening a spatial passage, neither of us would have been able to return!
"Brother Qu, rest assured, I have already learned my lesson once, how could I make the same mistake again!"
Seeing that Qu Bai was not saying anything more, Song Qingming, who had already apologized, immediately smiled and took the "Sacred Star Disc" into his own hands.
He confirmed with his divine sense that the "power of the origin of heaven and earth" inside was safe and sound and had not been damaged.
Song Qingming's expression immediately relaxed a bit.
Although this spellcasting was fraught with danger, it provided Song Qingming with invaluable experience, and he successfully obtained what he wanted.
".
After returning to Qingyun Mountain with Qu Bai, Song Qingming immediately went to his cave and saw the "innate spiritual root" that had been transplanted there long ago.
As soon as Song Qingming took out the "Sacred Star Disc", a golden "Power of the Origin of Heaven and Earth" immediately and automatically entered the spirit tree.
Immediately afterwards, the spiritual light above the "green spiritual fruit" hanging on the tree also intensified considerably.
Just as Qu Bai had said, the "power of the origin of heaven and earth" can be used to cultivate innate spiritual roots, and its effects on them are very obvious.
However, this amount of "the power of the origin of heaven and earth" is far from enough to cultivate the spiritual fruit to maturity.
Next, Song Qingming needs to find more nutrients for it so that the fruit can mature.
In short, as long as it's useful, there's no rush!
After nodding in satisfaction, Song Qingming turned and left.
He began to think about how to find the next place where he could absorb the "power of the origin of heaven and earth".
".
Spring goes and autumn comes, and in the blink of an eye, sixty years have passed.
On this day, a beam of light flew from afar outside Qingyun Mountain and landed directly outside the mountaintop.
"After being away for so many years, I'm finally back!"
"Yes! I can't believe we've been gone for over sixty years. I don't even know how things are at home now!"
The two figures standing on the flying boat looked at the familiar scene before them and couldn't help but sigh.
The next moment, several figures flew out from the "mountain-protecting formation" and landed in front of the opponent.
"Senior Brother Wei, Senior Brother Song, Senior Sister Chu!"
"Hey! Junior brothers, it really is you guys back."
Congratulations to my junior brother and sister on condensing your Nascent Soul!
Decades ago, Song Xinyuan and Liu Yuling left Qingyun Mountain and went to the Refining Heart Tower in Donghuang Kingdom to train in preparation for Nascent Soul formation.
Over the years, the couple stayed in the "Eastern Phoenix Kingdom" to cultivate under Chen Qingxuan's guidance.
With the support of this Nascent Soul Ancestor, the two of them went into seclusion several times to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, and successfully condensed their Nascent Souls.
Now that they have returned, they have both reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Sixty years have passed, and not only have Song Xinyuan and Liu Yuling changed so much, but Chu Ling, who came out to greet him, has also become a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Moreover, because Chu Ling advanced to the Nascent Soul realm thirty years earlier than Song Xinyuan and the other two, the aura emanating from her was noticeably more solid than theirs.
"Junior Brother Song! Your two senior uncles have already prepared a welcome banquet for you at Huixian Pavilion. Let's go together!"
"Thank you for your help, fellow senior brothers and sisters!"
Led by Chu Ling and the other two, Song Xinyuan and his wife soon arrived at the "Huixian Pavilion" and met Li Xuanyi and Huang Siyuan, who were waiting for him there.
In addition, their children who stayed at home down the mountain had also arrived on the mountain early.
Decades have passed, and Song Xinyuan's children have all grown up, started their own families, and now there are more than a dozen cultivators from his lineage in the "Huixian Pavilion".
Among them, the eldest daughter, Song Yuanchan, has the highest cultivation level, having reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment and is not far from forming the Core Formation.
Just as everyone was enjoying themselves, another figure walked in from outside the "Huixian Pavilion," instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"No wonder it's so lively here today, it's because you've all come back!"
My return was rather opportune; I arrived just in time for a delicious meal!
"Oh! Husband, when did you get back?"
"Your child greets your father!"
Upon seeing the familiar figure appear at the door, Song Xinyuan and Liu Yuling were overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to bow respectfully. (End of Chapter)
