Chapter 594: Three Great Immortal Scriptures

Strands of pure spiritual energy surged from the earth, readily refined and absorbed into Zhuo Ming's body.

At this moment, the spiritual energy concentration beneath the Immortal Peach Tree had almost reached the fourth tier.

Putting away his phone, Chen Mobai felt this and couldn't help but nod.

Zhuo Ming had indeed successfully broken through with the aid of the Immortal Peach Fruit.

In the Mount Xiaonan region, his disciple seemed to be unstoppable. Right after her breakthrough, the spiritual energy from the earth's veins eagerly surged forth to help her consolidate her cultivation.

At this moment, Luo Yixuan flew up, having just come down from the mountain with a basket of fresh ingredients.

Chen Mobai guarded Zhuo Ming under the Immortal Peach Tree for seven days and seven nights until the dense spiritual energy around her slowly dissipated, indicating that Zhuo Ming had completed her cultivation.

“Thank you for your protection, Master.”

Opening her eyes, Zhuo Ming saw Chen Mobai sitting nearby, watching her with concern. She immediately rose and bowed to him.

“Not bad, not bad. Breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in sixteen years, though a bit slow, the advantage is a solid foundation.”

Chen Mobai's words left Luo Yixuan, who was standing nearby, speechless. Looking at the entire history of the Divine Wood Sect, Zhuo Ming's breakthrough speed, while not comparable to Red River and others, was still considered fast.

However, upon thinking of her Master's cultivation speed, Luo Yixuan realized that it was indeed true.

“Master, besides the Earth Mother Art, my Nine Ren Dao Body has also broken through to the third level.”

Zhuo Ming also shared another good piece of news, explaining why her breakthrough took a bit longer this time. Chen Mobai was also very pleased about this.

“Eat this second Immortal Peach as well. Although its effect is only half of the first one, it can still increase your potential.”

Chen Mobai knew that besides boosting spiritual energy, the Immortal Peach Fruit could also increase the spiritual root values for Wood, Water, and Earth, adding 1 point to each with every fruit consumed.

The maximum increase for each was 4 points. For him, consuming more would have no effect.

The concept of spiritual root values was too advanced for cultivators in the Tianhe Realm, so Chen Mobai used the simpler term ‘potential’ to make it easier to understand.

“In that case, perhaps Junior Sister Luo should take it.”

Upon hearing that the second fruit would only have half the effect, Zhuo Ming repeatedly declined, stating that since she had already broken through, it would be a waste of such a precious heavenly treasure.

“Xuan'er has been confined by Yellow Spring spiritual energy for fourteen years, leading to a weakened mind and regressing divine sense. If she were to take this Immortal Peach Fruit to further enhance her spiritual energy, it would do more harm than good.”

After hearing this, Chen Mobai shook his head.

Although Luo Yixuan was now free from the Yellow Spring spiritual energy, due to her divine sense, her spiritual energy could not progress too quickly, lest it once again spiral out of control.

For her condition, Chen Mobai had even considered using the Soul-Devouring Art to resolve it, but ultimately abandoned the idea.

He wanted his disciple to be safe and stable, and the Soul-Devouring Art was simply too dangerous.

“Senior Sister, you should still take it. Besides, there are so many fruits on this tree; I can eat them later.”

Luo Yixuan heard this and immediately showed her compliant nature.

“Then I shall not refuse.”

After thanking him, Zhuo Ming picked up the other Immortal Peach Fruit from the basket, turned around, and took a bite.

A faint peach fragrance, along with the bitten fruit flesh, wafted around the stone table. Luo Yixuan began to cast a spell, gathering dew to brew tea.

After another three days of meditation, Zhuo Ming had digested the second Immortal Peach Fruit. When she opened her eyes, they gleamed with a crystalline luster, and she looked radiant.

“Pass a stream of spiritual energy over.”

Chen Mobai once again checked Zhuo Ming's spiritual root attributes. Looking at the values on the spiritual root tester in his palm, he suddenly realized he had overlooked something.

Gold 3, Wood 22, Water 23, Fire 9, Earth 55.

When Zhuo Ming achieved Foundation Establishment, she refined a Respiration Stone.

At that time, her Earth spiritual root increased by 3 points. Later, Chen Mobai collected more from the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion; some were used to upgrade the third-tier spiritual fields on Mount Xiaonan, and some were given to Zhuo Ming to try refining.

It was discovered that when absorbing the second Respiration Stone, it only increased the Earth spiritual root by 2 points, and the third one by only 1 point. After three stones, further refining had no effect on increasing spiritual roots.

In other words, the Respiration Stone could provide a maximum of 6 points to the Earth spiritual root.

However, Chen Mobai had not yet used this method to enhance his own Earth spiritual root because, as a practitioner of the Pure Yang Scroll, he had no particular pursuit for Earth spiritual roots.

Thinking about it now, it was an unexpected stroke of luck.

If he were to refine the Respiration Stones now, the resulting changes in his spiritual roots would perfectly enable him to retrieve the remaining Five Elements Immortal Scriptures of the Longevity Sect from the inheritance space within the Divine Tree Secret Realm.

Acting on the thought, Chen Mobai burst into laughter, controlling his Crimson Cloud Silk Robe as he departed Mount Xiaonan.

Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan walked out from under the Immortal Peach Tree and watched as he ascended and disappeared into the horizon.

Respiration Stone was also considered a precious ore, only minable in the nations of Yan, Xiao, and Feng. Therefore, there was no stock of it in the Hall of Merit and Virtue.

However, once Chen Mobai spoke, those below him would certainly complete the task in the shortest possible time.

Seven days later, Yu Lian, dusty from travel, emerged from the teleportation array in Redwood Ridge and arrived at Chen Mobai's Longevity Wood Daoist Temple, presenting five Respiration Stones.

Although Chen Mobai only requested three, those under him, eager to prove themselves, undoubtedly overfulfilled the task assigned by their superior.

“You have all worked hard on this matter. Tell E Yun that I will personally come to Yan Nation for the graduation ceremony of the Longevity Academy at the end of the year.”

Chen Mobai said with a smile. Yu Lian nodded respectfully, then once again took the teleportation array, leaving Redwood Ridge and returning to Yan Nation.

Just half a day later, another beautiful young woman with a cool demeanor also arrived from Xiao Nation, presenting a bag of Respiration Stones.

The young woman was Zhou Bingyan, the most talented cultivator of the Zhou family after King God Zhou. Six years ago, she followed Chen Mobai back to the sect from Xiao Nation, and with his guidance, she successfully consumed the Foundation Establishment Pill on her first try.

After establishing her foundation, she naturally returned to Xiao Nation to assist King God Zhou.

Although Chen Mobai had Luo Xue’er relay the news about his need for Respiration Stones to E Yun, asking the latter to help collect them in Yan Nation, King God Zhou also somehow got wind of the news.

Falling behind by only half a day, he managed to collect enough Respiration Stones. Since he, as the guardian, could not easily leave his post, King God Zhou dispatched Zhou Bingyan, a familiar face, to deliver them.

“Junior Niece Zhou, that was thoughtful of you.”

Although Chen Mobai smiled wryly inwardly, he could only praise her outwardly; otherwise, his subordinates would lose their motivation to work in the future.

“Sect Master, this is what we ought to do.”

Zhou Bingyan, who usually maintained a cool demeanor outside, was utterly respectful and polite in front of Chen Mobai.

Chen Mobai let her rest in the sect for a few days and called Zhuo Ming to host her, which also served to let his disciple make more friends.

Afterward, he began refining the Respiration Stones.

With his Golden Core stage cultivation, Chen Mobai witnessed the changes in his Earth spiritual root in just one day.

Without wasting any time, he immediately activated the Turtle Treasure and teleported into the Divine Tree Secret Realm.

He touched the Talent Tree, and, true to its sensitive nature, it skillfully pulled him into the inheritance space, knowing the way well.

Without any hesitation, Chen Mobai chose the Fire Element Immortal Scripture.

The next day, he chose the Water Element Immortal Scripture.

On the third day, the Metal Element Immortal Scripture!

Gold 23, Wood 45, Water 16, Fire 84, Earth 20.

Looking at his spiritual root values on the spiritual root tester, Chen Mobai nodded. The limit of the Respiration Stone was indeed to increase the Earth spiritual root by 6 points.

Although not a large increase, it allowed Chen Mobai to obtain the remaining three Soul Transformation cultivation methods from the inheritance space.

The value of these three refined Respiration Stones was thus elevated to an unprecedented height.

After checking his spiritual roots, Chen Mobai picked up the three Immortal Scriptures and examined them one by one.

Among them, the Fire Element Immortal Scripture was named the 'Crimson Emperor's Universal Illumination Scripture', the Metal Element Immortal Scripture was named the 'White Emperor's Military Manifestation Scripture', and the Water Element one, as Chen Mobai had long heard from Granny Ming, was the 'Black Emperor's Abyssal Darkness Scripture'.

At this point, all five supreme Immortal Scriptures, the highest inheritance of the Longevity Sect, had fallen into Chen Mobai's hands.

The five Soul Transformation cultivation methods each had their unique strengths, and even for him, who was already cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll, they held significant reference value.

Unfortunately, his own cultivation realm was still too low; he could only comprehend the parts of these Immortal Scriptures that were below the Nascent Soul stage.

However, a method for condensing Great Sun Fire recorded in the Fire Element Immortal Scripture made him feel as if he had discovered a priceless treasure.

He knew that to master the Extreme Yang Slash, in addition to the Nine Great Golden Flames, he also needed Great Sun Fire. Only when the two combined would it possess the terrifying power to cut through anything.

The essence of the sun and moon and the starlight from the cosmos on the Immortal Gate's side were all blocked by the celestial curtain. Even though Chen Mobai was a council member of the Kaiyuan Hall and a cultivator of the Pure Yang Scroll, possessing the authority to open the celestial curtain, the solar essence that leaked through to him would essentially prevent him from condensing Pure Yang Purple Qi if he tried to condense Great Sun Fire.

Considering that in the future, if he needed to exchange for high-grade spiritual items in the Immortal Gate, Pure Yang Purple Qi, which could help break through barriers, would be more valuable, Chen Mobai would certainly choose the latter.

However, his Pure Yang Purple Qi was mostly condensed in the Tianhe Realm.

The vast and boundless solar essence here, even if he, along with his true body and the Formless Puppet, condensed it together, they would only absorb a tiny fraction.

He only regretted that his cultivation realm was not high enough, as he could only condense so much each time.

However, the method for condensing Great Sun Fire described in the Crimson Emperor's Universal Illumination Scripture was completely different from the one used in the Immortal Gate.

Surprisingly, this method required a practitioner of the Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture to complete.

The so-called 'Universal Illumination' refers to sunlight falling upon the earth, simultaneously purifying all darkness and coldness while bestowing upon all living beings the vitality and energy for flourishing growth.

The cultivation of this Crimson Emperor's Universal Illumination Scripture also required a life-bound magic artifact named the 'Vast Heaven Mirror'.

This mirror could gather the solar essence from the nearby sky and automatically condense it into Great Sun Fire.

As the Great Sun Fire burned within the mirror, it would be enhanced by the Vast Heaven Mirror, evolving into a potent and powerful Universal Illumination Divine Light.

With the assistance of the Universal Illumination Divine Light, the life-bound spiritual plants of cultivators of the Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture would double their advancement and growth speed.

Furthermore, through photosynthesis, these life-bound spiritual plants would soften this explosive and volatile energy, allowing the practitioner of the Crimson Emperor's Universal Illumination Scripture to more easily refine the solar essence gathered by the Vast Heaven Mirror, and even the Great Sun Fire itself.

Without this process, practitioners of the Fire Element Immortal Scripture would need to expend several times the effort to complete these cultivations.

This was perfectly suited for Chen Mobai.

He loved things that were automatic, simplified, and didn't require much comprehension!
