Chapter 1101: Great Toon Divine Tree, The Great Way of Life

Novel:

"Senior Brother, to prepare for the impending arrival of Pluto, I believe the remaining Dao Fruits on the Dan Ding Jade Tree should also be harvested and refined to enhance the Immortal Sect's strength." Chen Mobai voiced his thoughts. While his current power was such that Cheng Xuan couldn't stop him from refining the Dan Ding Jade Tree, he felt it was better to reach a consensus on certain matters. He was still quite democratic.

"Junior Brother, you can decide; I have no objections," Cheng Xuan nodded, even suggesting that Chen Mobai could refine the entire Dan Ding Jade Tree. After all, the Immortal Sect had previously preserved various resources out of concern that future generations might lack opportunities to break through to the Soul Transformation stage if everything was used up. These resources could at least serve as one-time aids for Soul Transformation, ensuring the Immortal Sect's continuity with more Soul Transformation cultivators. Now, with the Primordial Orb, spiritual energy was no longer an issue, rendering these resources less critical. Their generation had already solved this most crucial problem; if future disciples still couldn't produce Soul Transformation cultivators en masse, they would be truly useless.

"Among the remaining Dao Fruits, feel free to take whatever you need concerning artifact refining, Senior Brother." The Dan Ding Jade Tree bore a total of thirty-six Dao Fruits: eighteen contained knowledge of sixth-tier artifacts, and the other eighteen were related to pill recipes. The pill recipes had been left untouched, hanging on the tree, because the Immortal Sect couldn't refine pills above the fifth tier. Artifacts, however, were different. Throughout generations, Soul Transformation cultivators and fifth-tier artifact refiners from the Weaponry Dao Institute had essentially all made use of them. For instance, True Monarch Xuanwu had refined an axe-shaped Dao Fruit, and Cheng Xuan had previously taken a mirror-shaped Dao Fruit.

For Chen Mobai, once he refined the Dan Ding Jade Tree and his cultivation advanced, he could re-evolve the Dao Fruits that had been taken. Since they could be reused, the remaining Dao Fruits, apart from those he specifically needed (such as the lamp-shaped one), would be best utilized by Cheng Xuan, an artifact refiner. If Cheng Xuan could be cultivated into a sixth-tier artifact refiner, perhaps the Immortal Sect's war artifacts could undergo a comprehensive upgrade before Pluto's arrival. This could even help other Soul Transformation True Monarchs, like Qi Yuheng, enhance their natal artifacts, significantly boosting the Immortal Sect cultivators' strength.

"Since Junior Brother you've put it that way, I won't stand on ceremony!" Cheng Xuan knew Chen Mobai's character to be utterly generous and magnanimous when it came to resources, so he gladly accepted. It happened that after his Soul Transformation, he also intended to pursue the realm of sixth-tier artifact refining and see if he could use this opportunity to upgrade his natal artifact. After reaching an agreement, Cheng Xuan immediately used Great Void Teleportation to go to the Weaponry Dao Institute. Chen Mobai, meanwhile, had other matters to attend to on Immortal Gaze Peak.

Before long, Yuan Xu, who had received a spiritual message from Chen Mobai during the meeting's dispersal, arrived. "Greetings, True Monarch Pure Yang!" Yuan Xu bowed respectfully, his face ruddy and his dark hair thick. "Have a seat. I have two matters I need your help with..." Chen Mobai nodded and personally brewed a pot of tea. Just as he was about to speak, an uninvited guest arrived. It was Wenren Xuewei.

With a shift of his thoughts, Chen Mobai understood why she had secretly come to seek him out. Remembering their pleasant cooperation as friends over the years, he sent a spiritual message, allowing her to enter directly. "Greetings, True Monarch. I didn't expect Venerable Yuan Xu to be here too," Wenren Xuewei flew into the reconstructed hall on Immortal Gaze Peak, her expression one of surprise upon seeing Yuan Xu with his thick hair seated nearby. Yuan Xu nodded in acknowledgment.

"These are two pill recipes I selected after refining the Dan Ding Jade Tree's Dao Fruits. If successfully concocted, they can aid in the step from Nascent Soul to Soul Transformation. However, many ingredients in these recipes were originally only found at the White Crane Daoist Temple, so I need you, as an excellent alchemist, to adapt them for our Immortal Sect. Also, please use the Inch-Square Book's function to simulate a successful pill recipe." Chen Mobai did not hide this from Wenren Xuewei, directly transmitting the recipes for the Heavenly Spirit Pill and the Enlightened Saint True Spirit Pill—which Qing Nü had compiled based on the Great Dao Pill and the Myriad Transformations Nether-Merge Divine Ability—to Yuan Xu. Yuan Xu, who had been drinking tea, suddenly trembled, his thick black hair seeming to blur slightly, clearly shaken by the revelation. The Weaponry Dao Institute actually possessed such profound heritage?!

Wenren Xuewei, though equally astonished, did not display the same level of shock as Yuan Xu. This was because the Jumang Dao Institute also possessed a Soul Transformation pill recipe, passed down by Old Ancestor Everspring. However, its main ingredients, and even some auxiliary ones, required medicinal properties cultivated over ten thousand years. It was important to note that the Immortal Sect had only been established for a few millennia. Nevertheless, the Immortal Sect's predecessors, holding onto a slim hope, had planted relevant medicinal herbs in the minor realms of various apothecaries. Yet, due to insufficient spiritual energy, these herbs had barely survived and were not accelerated with precious resources like Myriad Transformations Thunderwater. But now, the spiritual energy problem had been resolved.

Wenren Xuewei immediately realized: could the Everspring Pill of their Jumang Dao Institute also be scheduled for refinement in the future? Perhaps, she could even live to see it. She wasn't the only one thinking this; Yuan Xu was too. After all, he had failed his Soul Transformation, and he likely wouldn't be able to apply for "Instant Bloom" resources next time. If the Immortal Sect could concoct a batch of Soul Transformation pills, shouldn't he, as the modifier of the recipes, receive one? With this thought in mind, Yuan Xu decided to set aside all his other ongoing projects and dedicate himself fully to successfully simulating these two pill recipes from the Dan Ding Sect. "I will certainly do my utmost!"

After Yuan Xu finished speaking with a solemn expression, he glanced at the pill recipes and was slightly bewildered. The main ingredient, surprisingly, required True Spirit Blood. The Immortal Sect only had one fifth-tier True Spirit, Old Ancestor Narcissus; no wonder it needed to be replaced. Just as Yuan Xu was pondering what main ingredient could substitute for True Spirit Blood, Chen Mobai produced another Spirit Sealing Tube. "This is a wisp of special spiritual energy I condensed from the void when my Primordial Orb reached great success. Please put some effort into researching it."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xu immediately understood the importance of this matter; it certainly surpassed the Soul Transformation pill recipes. After all, the pill recipes benefited the Immortal Sect as a whole, while this was True Monarch Pure Yang's personal affair. In his view, the leader's matters were always more important. "Yes, True Monarch!" Yuan Xu accepted the immortal spiritual energy and, with a touch of curiosity, unsealed it, opening the mouth of the tube. In an instant, a trace of seventh-tier immortal spiritual energy diffused out. Though it was only a wisp, it made both Yuan Xu and Wenren Xuewei feel it was simultaneously dense and profound, yet light and pure. Even the true qi within their bodies began to stir, expressing an unprecedented longing.

It seemed as if refining this immortal spiritual energy would allow them to advance to a higher level, not just breaking through to the Innate stage, but even touching upon the Great Dao related to their cultivation techniques. Both of them stared in wide-eyed astonishment. Chen Mobai saw that the immortal spiritual energy had just left the sealing tube and was already showing signs of degenerating into Nine Heavens Pure Qi, so he immediately moved to reseal it. Yuan Xu's hand trembled slightly as he held the sealing tube, but he quickly re-stoppered it and activated the Spirit Condensing Talisman. "True Monarch, this spiritual energy is truly extraordinary!" Wenren Xuewei couldn't help but exclaim. Her Everspring True Qi, refined through continuous use of Tusita Fire, was of such high quality that it was arguably the finest in the Immortal Sect, the purest Everspring cultivation art in all generations.

She had also experienced sixth-tier spiritual energy—Immortal Gaze Peak, where she currently resided, was infused with it—but it had only slightly invigorated her Everspring True Qi. Yet, when faced with the immortal spiritual energy just now, she felt an urge to break free from her body and refine it. Higher than sixth-tier... did that mean seventh-tier?! Upon realizing this, both Yuan Xu and Wenren Xuewei were greatly shocked. The former gripped the Spirit Sealing Tube tightly, eager to return to his laboratory immediately to begin his research. "Yuan Xu, you can go back for now. If you find any research results, inform me directly."

Chen Mobai could see Yuan Xu was restless. He waved his hand, indicating that these were the only two matters he needed help with. Upon hearing this, Yuan Xu immediately rose to take his leave, not even bothering to greet Wenren Xuewei as he instantly teleported away. "Do you have something you wish to speak about?" Chen Mobai asked Wenren Xuewei once they were alone. "Reporting to True Monarch, the Divine Tree knows you have achieved Soul Transformation and asked me to convey its congratulations..."

Wenren Xuewei had come this time on behalf of the Great Chun Divine Tree. The true spirit consciousness of this sixth-tier spiritual plant of the Immortal Sect had long since entered the Great Dao. However, due to the limitations of its main body, it was confined to the small Diyuan Star, unable to move. It undoubtedly desired to transcend and depart, to pursue a higher level of the Great Dao. But the Great Chun Divine Tree's body was the core of the Immortal Sect's Sky Curtain and Earth Veins network. If it left, the diligently maintained spiritual energy circulation would likely collapse immediately. Therefore, it could only wait to see if the Immortal Sect could find a sixth-tier spiritual object to replace it.

The Great Chun Divine Tree held little hope for this, but its lifespan was almost infinite, so it was not in a hurry. After all, though the Immortal Sect was struggling to maintain itself, spiritual energy would inevitably diminish over time. According to current trends, after a few millennia, the Immortal Sect would have no Soul Transformation or even Nascent Soul cultivators, eventually exhausting all spiritual energy and entering an age of dharma decline. At that point, the Great Chun Divine Tree would naturally be free. However, Chen Mobai's Soul Transformation, and his creation of a wondrous item like the Primordial Orb, meant that the Great Chun Divine Tree's desire to merely endure the passing of days could no longer be realized.

Therefore, upon learning this, it wished to have a thorough discussion with Chen Mobai. Furthermore, when Chen Mobai was refining the fifth-tier Water Spirit Talisman, the Great Chun Divine Tree had given him a piece of its sixth-tier tree heart, agreeing to discuss the matter after his Soul Transformation. Thus, after the meeting disbanded, Wenren Xuewei communicated with the Divine Tree's true spirit and was immediately urged to come. Naturally, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement. Coincidentally, he was also very curious about this premier spiritual plant of the Immortal Sect!

After receiving his permission, Wenren Xuewei subtly relaxed. Then, both of them used Great Void Teleportation and vanished from their original spot.

Jumang Dao Institute.

Chen Mobai appeared before the Great Chun Divine Tree. It was here, in the past, that he had subdued all the prodigies from the Immortal Sect's various academies and institutes. At that time, upon seeing the tree, he had only felt its profound and unfathomable mystery. Now, having achieved Soul Transformation, when he saw the tree again, he could finally discern some clues. He saw some ethereal branches, invisible to the naked eye, extending into a certain Great Dao in the void, drawing wisps of vast vital energy and refining them into the Divine Tree's main body. This was the Great Dao of Life!
