The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 1092: Chapter 1087: 7th-Tier Immortal Tree, Aftermath of the Tribulation

The terrifying anomaly in the Outer Void of the Constellations of Horned Flood Dragon vanished in an instant under the illumination of the dazzling divine radiance!

The cultivators of the Nine Realms, gazing at the Firmament that had returned to calm, felt as if a Huge stone hanging above their heads had been removed; all could not help but breathe out a long sigh of relief, and those whose feelings overflowed beyond control even wept with snot and tears, kowtowing nonstop toward the receding divine radiance. At the same time, the cultivators of the Dragon Heart Realm were amazed to discover that within the heaven and earth they dwelt there now stood an immortal tree whose trunk reached the clouds and blotted out the sun.

Not long after, an escaping light flew in from the Outer Zone and landed upon a thick branch of the immortal tree, massive like a mountain.

As the spirit light withdrew, it revealed a Fairy Puppet with a graceful figure. Along with a faint spatial ripple, Shen Mo and Zhao Lingyin successively flew out from inside the puppet.

”To transform a Dharma Body into an immortal tree with tangible form and substance—such a method is truly inconceivable!” Zhao Lingyin put the Fairy Puppet away into her Storage Treasure, reached out to pluck a leaf, examined it carefully for a moment, and could not help but exclaim in wonder.

Previously, her Dao Body and soul had undergone distortion and had nearly fallen into becoming an Incarnation of Lord Blue Venerable; yet with Shen Mo’s assistance she quickly returned to normal, and even turned calamity into blessing, gaining many insights in her cultivation. After cultivating ”The Sutra of Cloudy and Rainy from Wushan” together with Shen Mo, and letting her Essence and Qi and even her mind resonate intensely with his, she smoothly broke through to the late-stage of the Divine Bridge Realm.

”The Empyrean Fairy Senior’s cultivation level is so lofty, her Spell so profound, that it indeed transcends common reason and surpasses our imagination!”

Shen Mo likewise was filled with deep emotion in his heart. He prided himself that his battle strength was mighty enough to rival True Immortal figures, but constrained by his own Realm, in terms of the profundity of Dao Methods he was far inferior to a Heavenly Immortal such as the Nine Heavens Empyrean Fairy.

Immediately, his five senses and sense swept out, carefully sizing up this Class VII immortal tree, which was transformed from a portion of the Yuan Monarch’s Dharma Phase.

He saw that its trunk was incomparably thick, capable of accommodating an entire mountain range; its height unknown, stretching tens of thousands of zhang, its crown reaching into the Outer Void, while roots comparable to earth veins plunged deep into the earth apertures of the Dragon Heart Realm...

It was as if the Firmament had been propped higher by this immortal tree, and the land appeared all the more weighty and solid, making this heaven and earth even higher and heavier, greatly elevating the underlying level of the Dragon Heart Realm. Originally, cultivators in this Realm could only cultivate up to the Divine Bridge; to advance further they had to go to the Immortal Realm. Now, they can directly, in the Lower Realm, cultivate to Formless!

The benefits gained by the Dragon Heart Realm and the creatures of this realm are not only these. The crown of the immortal tree reaches into the Outer Zone and can draw in the power of sun, moon, stars and celestials, while its roots piercing into the earth apertures can comb through the underground Demonic Qi and Turbid Qi;

Under the harmonization of Yin and Yang, the speed at which the Dragon Heart Realm draws Vital Qi and Spiritual Qi from the unseen has been greatly increased. It will not take many years before the density of nature’s spiritual energy in this Realm will surpass by a wide margin that of the other eight worlds such as the Dragon Horn Realm, Dragon Eye Realm, Dragon Claw Realm, and may even hope to reach the level of the Feather Realm!

Upon realizing this, Shen Mo’s heart inevitably stirred somewhat.

His Green Cloud Cave Fairyland is likewise a small world, able to ceaselessly draw Spiritual Qi from the unseen. If he were to transplant this Class VII immortal tree into his Fairyland, it should also greatly raise its foundation, making the Firmament ever higher, the earth ever weightier, and nature’s spiritual energy ever richer!

However, after weighing matters in his heart for a while, Shen Mo still gave up this plan.

This Class VII immortal tree had already completely taken root in the heaven and earth of the Dragon Heart Realm. He did not possess the kind of profound cultivation level and inconceivable means that the Nine Heavens Empyrean Fairy had, able to uproot immortal trees one after another without affecting the worlds into which they had rooted.

If he were to forcibly act, he could only stir the heaven and earth of the Dragon Heart Realm into upheaval, disasters arising in profusion, with no knowing how many creatures would lose their lives for this.

There was another relatively safer method, namely to forcibly sever the Dragon Heart Realm’s connection with the universe world of the Primordial Yellow, letting this Realm be peeled away from the universe world, and refining the entire world into a forbidden land, then refining this forbidden land into his cave paradise.

Thus, the upheaval of this heaven and earth would not be too great, and he could also seize the opportunity to take the immortal tree into the Green Cloud Cave Fairyland.

Yet this approach is not without blemish...

The reason forbidden lands bear the name ”forbidden” is that when Xian Dao Stronghold refine small heavens and earth of such attributes, it is tantamount to cutting flesh from the great heaven and earth of the universe, thereby landing themselves on the black list of the universe’s will.

If Shen Mo, like Chunyang Zi and the other Seventh-Order Great Demon, were to refine the entire Dragon Heart world into a forbidden land, whether he pushed it into the Immortal Realm or refined it into a cave paradise, he would invisibly add a vast amount of heaven-and-earth sin karma, damaging his cultivation.

He might well find that the Immortal Path shackles he had just broken through some time ago would immediately cause him to fall from the Immortal Realm back down to the Earth Immortal Realm or Human Immortal Realm, or even to the lowest grade Ghost Immortal Realm!

More importantly, this Class VII immortal tree is Zhao Lingyin’s Fate for becoming an Immortal.

”Lingyin, do you wish to refine it into an Incarnation, or draw on its primal power to raise your cultivation?”

This towering ancient wood was originally the manifestation condensed from Lord Blue Venerable’s Magical Powers and cultivation method, but under the Empyrean Fairy of Nine Heavens’ Divine Power, it turned into a Class VII immortal tree with tangible form and substance, containing extremely vigorous Green Wood mana;

In this way, Zhao Lingyin can refine it into an Incarnation that seizes the fortune of heaven and earth, or she can take its Green Wood mana to increase her cultivation!

And Shen Mo leaned more toward the latter.

This Class VII immortal tree is equivalent to an immortal-path powerhouse of the Earth Immortal level. If she refines it into an Incarnation, Zhao Lingyin’s cultivation level would indeed gain tremendous elevation, and she might even borrow the chance of completing the Incarnation to leap in one stroke into the Formless Realm; yet her real body’s cultivation level would still be insufficient, and in eight or nine cases out of ten there would arise a situation of branches strong but trunk weak.

At that time, the very existence of the immortal tree Incarnation would in turn affect Zhao Lingyin’s real body, causing her own Dao to involuntarily shift toward the Dao of the Incarnation.
