Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 247 All Things Have Life
The news of the Gao family's extermination in Qingyuan County added further complications to the already bizarre situation.

While outsiders' attention was focused on Wuxian Mountain and the Gao family, an invisible change was taking place on Muyu Island.

Having successively merged with three spiritual caves and a great deal of spiritual energy, under Tao Yao's guidance, the spiritual energy within the cave had reached its peak, faintly approaching a certain limit.

At this moment, almost instinctively, Tao Yao pushed the withering and flourishing true energy within her body to its limit.

"Withering and flourishing, birth and death, all things are born."

Through the cycles of life and death, and by combining with the second-tier treasure, the Blazing Sun Spirit Stone, Tao Yao was imbued with a strange vitality.

At that very moment, the spirit pool boiled, and a phantom blue-backed carp leaped out of it, swallowing the extremely dense spiritual energy within the spirit cave in one gulp.

With a rumble, the carp returned to the pond, the spirit cave trembled, and the entire wooden fish island shook. An invisible force began to emanate from the spirit cave, and a milky white halo was born and continued to spread.

Inside the tranquil retreat, Jiang Chen's divine sense spread out, and witnessing this scene touched his heart.

“There was once a spiritual vein on Muyu Island. The spiritual cave was the seed left after the spiritual vein was destroyed. Now, Tao Yao used the rich spiritual energy as sustenance and her own withering and flourishing energy as a catalyst to reawaken this spiritual vein and reshape it.”

Seeing the spiritual veins reborn, Jiang Chen understood the principles and truths behind it.

"The cycle of life and death of all things, the principles contained within the peach blossom are truly profound."

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen sighed.

Catalyzing spiritual veins is a secret technique that exists among cultivators, and there are quite a few types of it. After all, spiritual energy is the foundation of cultivation, and any sect with a solid foundation will study it. However, under normal circumstances, it is not easy to cultivate a spiritual vein from scratch. In addition to investing a lot of manpower and resources, it often takes hundreds of years.

The reason why this spiritual vein on Muyu Island was able to take shape so quickly is not only because it had its own foundation, but also because of Tao Yao's special nature.

However, just as the spiritual veins of Muyu Island were beginning to recover, a chilling wind howled, and a powerful aura of malevolent energy erupted from the depths of the earth, attempting to engulf everything.

Faced with this power, the aura of the newly formed spiritual veins was instantly obscured, and the blue-backed carp let out a mournful cry as its body disintegrated at a visible speed.

Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Chen's expression changed slightly, as this was something he had not anticipated.

"This Yin energy was left behind when the spiritual veins of Muyu Island collapsed. It has been hidden deep in the earth and is difficult to detect. It is also the source of the pure Yin energy on top of Muyu Island."

After a moment of deep thought, Jiang Chen suddenly understood something.

With a hum, a powerful surge of divine soul energy erupted, and Jiang Chen began to forcefully suppress the rising Yin energy.

At the same time, Tao Yao also moved. She pushed the sealing technique to its limit, using her own power to replace the spiritual essence of the original spiritual vein, forcibly gathering spiritual energy to prevent the newly formed spiritual vein from collapsing.

After a brief stalemate, Jiang Chen finally suppressed the boiling Yin energy, and Tao Yao successfully stabilized the spiritual veins on Muyu Island.

"It's finally done."

Seeing the spiritual vein aura spreading out from the ground like a large net, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"The spirit of the former spiritual vein collapsed, and Tao Yao took its place. Now, the spiritual vein has become a part of Tao Yao. As a result, Tao Yao can no longer move lightly. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing."

Upon closer inspection, Jiang Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

The Peach Blossom Tree possesses a unique nature, naturally exhibiting an extremely high affinity with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Like a true spiritual plant, its trunk, branches, and leaves can all be used as spirit stones. Now, it has even assimilated a spiritual vein, further amplifying this characteristic. In a sense, the Peach Blossom Tree is now a transplantable spiritual vein; wherever it is planted, a spiritual vein takes root.

With a whoosh, the spiritual vein took shape, and Tao Yao felt a deep joy, radiating the purest pleasure.

At this moment, driven by the spiritual vein, its cultivation is constantly increasing. At this rate, as long as it doesn't encounter a bottleneck, it won't be long before it can advance to the peak of Qi Refining and touch the threshold of establishing a Dao Foundation.

"The wonder of creation lies here."

Sensing Tao Yao's change, Jiang Chen also smiled.

"With the support of this spiritual vein, the final link in the foundation for the Mist Dragon's Dao has been completed."

"As for this Yin Sha Qi, although it is a calamity, it is also a kind of fortune. Its essence is quite high, and it can be considered a second-tier spiritual object. It is quite valuable, but there are relatively few places where it can be used. However, it may have other wonderful uses for me."

With his divine soul power spread out, Jiang Chen took out a jade bottle and temporarily put away the Yin Sha Qi. He was very interested in this Yin Sha Qi, but it was not the time to study it.

"The next step is to truly solidify the foundation of the Mist Dragon's Dao."

Looking into the distance, Jiang Chen gazed at the distant water vein node.

Since its return, the Mist Dragon has been hiding there, absorbing the water vapor of the Qingyuan River to further enhance the strength of its own true energy, and taking this opportunity to strengthen its connection with the Qingyuan River's water veins.

The reason why the Jiaolong clan often uses the method of "walking the Jiaolong" when advancing to the Dao Foundation stage is twofold: firstly, to quickly gather spirituality by taking advantage of the power of natural disasters, and secondly, to temper themselves by using the power of water veins. When walking the Jiaolong, the water veins vibrate, which is a good opportunity for them to use the power of water veins.

"With the support of my second-tier divine soul and the bloodline of the Mist Dragon as a guide, it is not difficult for me to draw upon the power of the Qingyuan River."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen communicated with the mist dragon.

The next instant, the mist dragon, which had been silently breathing in the energy of the river, suddenly opened its eyes.

With a whoosh, the dragon's body swam away, glanced at the outside world, and then the mist dragon left the water vein node.

After such a long period of adjustment, its own condition has reached its peak. Not only is its own dragon pearl full of spirituality, but its breath of ascending to the clouds has also been tempered to the extreme. As for its physical body, due to its special birth environment, it has an advantage in this aspect, which has not changed even after it was refined into a demon skin.

The only flaw was his soul, but Jiang Chen has made up for that.

Not long after, the Mist Dragon returned to Wooden Fish Island without a sound.

Seeing this, without any hesitation, Jiang Chen focused his mind on the body of the mist dragon.

"Ascending from the Sea of ​​Fog to the Clouds!"

Holding the body of the Mist Dragon, with his divine sense reflecting and his mind clear both inside and out, Jiang Chen immediately pushed the Mist Sea Ascending Cloud Scripture to its limit.

In the next instant, surging spiritual energy swept in from the center of the mist dragon, like waves and tides, making the mist dragon look like a real dragon in the clouds.

"The foundation of the Dao is right before our eyes!"

As his internal power continued to rise, Jiang Chen, through the body of the Mist Dragon, touched the Dao Foundation Realm for the first time.
