Chapter 461 The Ginseng Fruit Tree, the Path of the Earthly Immortal, King Li Jing (Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King) [Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Please vote!]

Chen Hong and Sun Wukong arrived at Wuzhuang Temple and met Zhenyuan Daxian, the ancestor of all earth immortals.

When Zhenyuan Daxian saw Chen Hong, he looked Chen Hong up and down and revealed a meaningful smile.

“Young friend, since you offended the Bodhisattva last time, I didn’t expect you to dare to show up again. You are truly courageous.”

"Heh heh, we cultivators, why should we hesitate to fight!"

"Hahaha!" Zhenyuan Daxian burst into laughter. "Good! What a fine example of cultivators like us! Why should we hesitate to fight!"

"Young friend, you have great courage and boldness, which I admire."

"Judging from your cultivation level, young friend, you have made great progress. It is evident that you have excellent aptitude and great fortune. Your future achievements will be extraordinary."

"However, young friend, your cultivation period is still relatively short. Do you really have the ability to revive my ginseng fruit tree?"

"You'll know once you try it," Chen Hong said confidently.

"Alright, this way please." Zhen Yuanzi appeared very magnanimous and did not look down on Chen Hong.

Perhaps because he was a rogue cultivator who had not built his own power, the number of Earth Immortals under his command was also very loose, even though he was the ancestor of Earth Immortals.

Chen Hong's personality, which is that of a homebody who loves farming, is also quite compatible with him, so the two get along well when they meet and there is no tension between them.

Chen Hong followed Zhen Yuanzi to the orchard and saw the ginseng fruit tree that had been knocked down.

"My precious tree is a spiritual root that was born in the beginning of chaos, when the primordial world was first divided and before heaven and earth were created."

Of the four continents under heaven, only the Wuzhuang Temple in Xiniuhe Continent produces this spiritual root, which is called Grass Returning Elixir, also known as Ginseng Fruit.

It takes three thousand years for it to bloom, three thousand years for it to bear fruit, another three thousand years for it to ripen, and ten thousand years for it to be ready to eat.

In ten thousand years, only thirty fruits have been produced.

The fruit looks like a three-day-old baby, with all four limbs and facial features.

If a person is fortunate enough to smell that fruit, they will live to be 360 ​​years old.

Eat one, and you'll live for 47,000 years.

Zhenyuan Daxian proudly introduced his precious spiritual root.

Seeing the ginseng fruit tree that had been knocked to the ground and had its spiritual roots dug up, Chen Hong began to cast a spell to heal it.

Chen Hong then unleashed his great supernatural power, gathering the essence of the sun, moon, and stars to condense the Three Lights Divine Water.

During his previous tribulation, Chen Hong had already grasped the mysteries of the Three Lights Divine Water and could condense this divine substance on his own.

Chen Hong condensed a large mass of Three Lights Divine Water, which transformed into a magical rain of creation and sprinkled it on the ginseng fruit tree.

He then used the Wood Element Heavenly Path and the Law of Reincarnation to bring the dead back to life.

The ginseng fruit tree was revived and stood up again. One by one, the ginseng fruits that had disappeared into the ground reappeared and hung on the branches of the ginseng fruit tree.

"Great Immortal, may I have a piece of the root?"

"Alright." Zhenyuan Daxian stroked his beard and nodded.

After so many reincarnations, naturally some people have had their eyes on his ginseng fruit tree.

Unfortunately, even if it is propagated by division, it cannot compare to the mother plant.

Zhenyuan Daxian didn't seem to care much.

Chen Hong took a piece of tree root and put it away.

Under the blessing of the Three Lights Divine Water, the ginseng fruit tree also regrowed its roots and returned to its original state.

Soon, the ginseng fruit tree fully recovered, radiating rays of precious light and colorful glow.

Zhen Yuanzi, the Great Immortal, nodded in satisfaction, having gained another merit.

Overjoyed, Zhen Yuanzi hosted a small ginseng fruit party and invited Chen Hong and others to attend.

He immediately ordered Qingfeng and Mingyue to use a golden mallet to knock on the ginseng fruit.

This ginseng fruit falls when it encounters gold, withers when it encounters wood, dissolves when it encounters water, scorches when it encounters fire, and enters the earth when it encounters soil.

It must be struck with a gold tool to remove it.

If it is knocked down, the plate should be lined with a silk cloth; if it is hit by wooden utensils, it will wither and even eating it will not prolong its life.

It must be eaten in a porcelain vessel, dissolved in water, otherwise it will burn and become useless if exposed to fire.

At the banquet, Chen Hong, Tang Seng, and others each ate a ginseng fruit.

For Chen Hong, the fact that ginseng fruit could extend his life by 47,000 years was nothing special.

The key is that it tastes good and can satisfy one's appetite.

Ginseng fruit was indeed the most delicious fruit Chen Hong had ever eaten, even more delicious than peaches.

As expected of the strongest wood-type spiritual root.

During the banquet, besides eating ginseng fruit, Chen Hong also had to discuss the Dao with Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals.

It must be said that the path of the Earthly Immortals is also profound and extensive, and may not necessarily be inferior to the path of the Celestial Immortals.

Earthly immortals take blessed lands and grotto heavens as the foundation for their cultivation.

In the early stages of spiritual practice, it is best to find a blessed place, which will greatly benefit the practice.

If one can find a hidden paradise, or upgrade one's own hidden paradise, there is hope of becoming an immortal.

Earthly immortals can unleash their full power in their own blessed lands and are generally not afraid of attacks from outsiders.

As long as you avoid karmic entanglements, even if a great calamity comes, hiding in your own blessed land and becoming a recluse will greatly increase your chances of surviving it.

Of course, if one causes trouble everywhere and gets entangled in karma, one will inevitably be reduced to ashes in the tribulation. Around Wuzhuang Temple, many immortals, influenced by Zhen Yuanzi, also follow the path of earth immortals.

Even on the three overseas islands, there are even more independent cultivators practicing the path of Earth Immortals.

After all, that place is a natural paradise.

The Path of the Earthly Immortal is very suitable for those who are content with being a lazy, unambitious cultivator and want to steadily advance their cultivation.

Although cultivation is slower, blessed lands are extremely resource-intensive and have high requirements for laws and principles, whether broad or profound, or both.

However, the path of becoming an Earth Immortal is indeed the top choice for male otaku seeking immortality. Without a background and unable to enter the Heavenly Court to become a Heavenly Immortal, becoming an Earth Immortal is the best option.

Although Chen Hong did not rely on blessed lands and grottoes as a foundation like the earth immortals, he simply used them as an aid, resource, and training ground for his cultivation.

However, Zhen Yuanzi's path to becoming an earth immortal also pointed Chen Hong in the right direction for developing his own blessed land.

This will allow Chen Hong to cultivate his own grotto even more perfectly.

Zhen Yuanzi's signature supernatural power, "Universe in the Sleeve," is a hallmark of spatial magic.

Chen Hong also learned this supernatural power from Zhen Yuanzi.

Although not everyone is Zhen Yuanzi, most immortals and gods cannot cultivate the "Sleeve Universe" technique to the level of Zhen Yuanzi.

That requires an extremely profound and terrifying understanding of the principles of space.

However, the insights into the principles of space explained by Zhen Yuanzi were enough to greatly enhance Chen Hong's understanding of spatial laws.

Spatial Laws: 70%, 80%, 90%, 99%, 100%!

Spatial Heavenly Dao: 1%, 2%, 3%!

Having comprehended 3% of the Dao of Space, Zhen Yuanzi stopped his discussion, and the banquet came to an end.

Chen Hong's "Universe in the Sleeve" supernatural power has achieved some success.

Furthermore, he gained a more comprehensive understanding and plan on how to advance his own cultivation level.

Chen Hong gave Zhen Yuanzi some novel products, magical artifacts, and treasures that didn't exist in this world, then decisively slipped away and returned to his own timeline.

Cihang waited and waited, but the monkey never came to find her.

After Tang Sanzang and his disciples left Wuzhuang Temple, the heavenly secrets were stirred, and they calculated with their fingers to learn the cause and effect of the matter, which made them somewhat annoyed.

But there was nothing they could do but swallow this bitter pill.

After Chen Hong returned, he took the Yellow-Eyebrowed King back to the timeline where he was supposed to be and released Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and the others.

Chen Hong also took the opportunity to secretly analyze the secrets of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, including Kang Jinlong, Nu Tu Fu, Fang Ri Tu, Xin Yue Hu, Wei Huo Hu, Ji Shui Bao, Dou Mu Xie, Niu Jin Niu, Di Tu He, Xu Ri Shu, Wei Yue Yan, Shi Huo Zhu, Bi Shui, Kui Mu Lang, Lou Jin Gou, Wei Tu Zhi, Mao Ri Ji, Bi Yue Wu, Zi Huo Hou, Shen Shui Yuan, Jing Mu Han, Gui Jin Yang, Liu Tu Zhang, Xing Ri Ma, Zhang Yue Lu, Yi Huo She, Zhen Shui Yin, as well as the Golden-Headed Jiedi, Silver-Headed Jiedi, Liu Jia, Liu Ding, and the Eighteen Guardian Deities, including their magical treasures, techniques, divine duties, and divine positions.

I also collected these mythical beast and deity templates to enrich the variety of creatures in my cave.

It also unlocked the [Twenty-Eight Constellations Totem] and the [Twenty-Eight Constellations Grand Array].

It also combines the Five Directions Protectors, the Six Ding and Six Jia, the Eighteen Guardian Deities, and the Five Directions Protector Child Destiny of One World with the mysteries of incense and deities.

He created the [Mantra of the Protectors of Sumeru], which takes spiritual mutation as its foundation, splits off strands of spiritual power, and merges them with the power of destiny and fate, along with the corresponding concept of deity, absorbing the power of incense and vows, to condense the twenty-four protectors of the Sumeru Great Thousand World, including the Five Directions Protectors, the Six Ding and Six Jia, and the eighteen Dharma Protectors.

If attacked suddenly, it can be activated automatically to protect oneself and resist all attacks, malice, and corruption.

This can be considered a super-luxury plus upgrade of Chen Hong's "child spirit fate" to Liu Wu Kui.

After the Twenty-Eight Constellations left, King Yellow Eyebrows wanted to release Tang Sanzang, but unexpectedly, the monk demanded that King Yellow Eyebrows eat him sincerely and not cheat to pass the test.

This left the Yellow-Eyebrowed King completely bewildered, and he was thoroughly annoyed by Tang Sanzang's nagging.

Chen Hong ignored these guys and traveled to another timeline.

This time, Chen Hong arrived at the challenge of the Green Ox Demon King, the mount of Laozi.

Because Pigsy coveted other people's beautiful clothes and stole them to wear, he was overcome by greed. King Unicorn seized on this and detained Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

Sun Wukong fought with him, but unexpectedly, the One-Horned Rhinoceros King actually used a Vajra Bracelet to trap the monkey's golden cudgel.

Having no other option, Sun Wukong had to go to the Heavenly Court to ask for reinforcements.

Nezha, the Third Prince, or rather, Nezha the Heavenly King, carrying a pagoda, led 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to subdue the demons.

You're asking about Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King?

Didn't Chen Hong blow this tower to smithereens five hundred years ago with a single shot?

Later, Nezha rose up and took revenge for every grievance.

Nezha beat up Li Tianwang, then asked his master Taiyi Zhenren to forge a pagoda to suppress his father, Li Tianwang, and put him inside.

From then on, Nezha would carry the pagoda around every day, wandering the streets.

He is known as "King Li Tazha".

From then on, Nezha frequently entered the tower, using the Hun Tian Ling rope art to bind Li Tianwang, and throwing the Qiankun Quan at his head, playing a spinning game.

Use the [Wind and Fire Wheels] to roast him, and use the [Fire-Tipped Spear] to whip him.

It can be described as a perfect example of filial piety and parental love.

When I'm bored, I beat Li Jing; when I'm depressed, I beat Li Jing; when I'm happy, I still beat Li Jing.

The Jade Emperor not only did not punish Nezha, but also allowed Nezha to replace Li Tianwang and lead 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, thus making him the Heavenly King Nezha.

For the Jade Emperor, all he needed was a good dog.

Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, has an ambiguous relationship with Mount Ling. Whenever there is trouble in Heaven, the Jade Emperor will send him along.

Then, Li Tianwang, who commanded 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals each time, was basically defeated and returned home.
