Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 364 The Spirit Mansion Hangs High
Spring goes and autumn comes, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The Hundred Fruit Garden, a secluded paradise amidst the turmoil of war in the outside world, offers a unique tranquility.

Deep within the secret realm, Jiang Chen's true form had completely fallen into silence. During this period, he had devoted all his energy to successfully seizing control of the Hundred Fruit Garden secret realm.

At this moment, his physical body in the secret realm had completely disintegrated and merged into the Hundred Fruit Garden secret realm. Only his spirituality remained, almost instinctively eroding the Hundred Fruit Garden secret realm day after day. A voice in the darkness was telling him that he could not stop.

And so, the power of the Heart of the Secret Realm continued to permeate, and the sky above the Hundred Fruit Garden Secret Realm was unknowingly tinged with a touch of azure.

At a certain moment, the cyan color reached its peak, illuminating the entire secret realm. A thunderclap suddenly rang out, and at that very moment, Jiang Chen's consciousness, which had been blending into the secret realm and seemed oblivious to everything, finally regained itself.

"So heavy..."

As his consciousness returned and he soared high above the heavens, Jiang Chen's first feeling was one of heaviness, as if he were carrying a divine mountain on his back, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Is this the weight of a secret realm?"

After a short while, Jiang Chen noticed the changes in himself.

At this moment, he had successfully possessed the secret realm and become its spirit. However, compared to the vast secret realm, the soul he had separated was still somewhat weak, to the point that it was overwhelmed.

As a secluded paradise, the Hundred Fruit Garden possesses a more profound foundation than ordinary spiritual mountains and wonders, and correspondingly, the pressure to possess it is much greater.

"Although I have successfully possessed the Hundred Fruit Garden Secret Realm, the wandering spiritual beings within it have only been suppressed for the time being. It will take some time to truly tame them and make them my own. This is also the subsequent cultivation method of the Mountain and River Secret Record."

"Only when I have completely assimilated these spiritual beings and allowed my will to permeate every grain of sand and stone within the secret realm can I truly transform the entire secret realm into my own body. Fortunately, with the assistance of a third-tier grand formation, my current control over the Hundred Fruit Garden secret realm is already quite strong."

With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Chen gained a clear understanding of his current situation.

It was at this moment that he turned his gaze to the sky, which seemed to be nothingness, yet also seemed to be gestating something.

"The Heart of the Secret Realm is a great tonic for any secret realm. With the blessing of the Heart of the Secret Realm, the Hundred Fruit Garden Secret Realm has finally undergone changes."

With piercing eyes, Jiang Chen saw a spiritual abode through the surface emptiness.

In the next instant, a thought arose, and Jiang Chen activated the power of the Hundred Fruit Garden Secret Realm.

"open!"

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, a burst of silvery-white lightning erupted, splitting the vast emptiness before Jiang Chen's very eyes.

At that very moment, a radiant star emerged from the void, casting streaks of azure light that illuminated all directions. Beneath this brilliant radiance lay a spiritual palace that appeared to be perfectly formed.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen felt a surge of joy.

This spiritual abode was formed after the Heart of the Secret Realm merged into the Hundred Fruit Garden. It is not only the new central hub of the Hundred Fruit Garden Secret Realm, but also his place of refuge. Being in it, he can better manage the spirituality of the Secret Realm and avoid the backlash of the spirituality.

"What a wonderful place. Although the spiritual energy in this spiritual palace is not as good as that of a third-tier spiritual vein, it has a peaceful and harmonious energy gathering within, making it a good place for self-cultivation."

With a thought, Jiang Chen's divine soul materialized, and he stepped into the Spiritual Mansion.

With his return, the Spirit Palace had a master and immediately shone brightly. With his divided soul presiding over it, the Spirit Palace was finally complete. "It's still a bit too empty."

Stepping into the depths of the Spirit Mansion, which was now completely empty, Jiang Chen's mind stirred.

In the next instant, a spiritual rhythm emanated, and a small palace, primarily constructed of spiritual wood and adorned with exotic flowers and plants, appeared within the spiritual realm.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction. Although the palace was evolved from spirituality and was essentially illusory, it was just right for a soul like his.

“This spiritual palace has already transformed into the source of the secret realm’s spiritual energy. With my consciousness supporting it, this divided soul can refine the spiritual energy of the secret realm on its own.”

His soul descended into the palace and sat on an empty throne. Jiang Chen looked down at the entire Hundred Fruit Garden secret realm. At this moment, the entire Hundred Fruit Garden held no secrets from him, and he also further sensed the special nature of the Spirit Mansion.

At that moment, a strange rhythm arose, attracting Jiang Chen's attention.

"This is···"

His gaze fell upon the main body, which remained dormant within the grotto, and a strange light flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

The next instant, he reached out and beckoned, and the storage bag on his body flew up on its own and eventually landed in his hand.

"So it was them."

Following a premonition, Jiang Chen opened his storage bag and took out two treasures: a golden toad and a wooden carving.

The golden toad came from Liao Yonghuai and contains some special heritage, while the wood carving came from the Qingmu family and is a statue of a deity.

"Both of these things are related to the gods. It seems that this is not just a coincidence, but rather that my qualities have attracted these two things, or rather, resonated with them."

As Jiang Chen carefully examined the two treasures, he felt a sense of familiarity that he had never experienced before.

It is important to know that these two treasures are fundamentally different. After obtaining them, he studied them extensively, especially the Golden Toad, which contained a valuable inheritance. He often tried to obtain the inheritance from it and use it to refine his spiritual power. However, before today, he had never had any connection with this treasure.

He was able to obtain some inheritance from the golden toad entirely because his soul was strong and he was not afraid of getting hurt.

"It seems that my divided soul has a deep connection with the divine path."

Thoughts raced through his mind; at this moment, Jiang Chen pondered many things.

Unlike the Mist Dragon, his divided soul is based on a secret realm, making its essence more unique. If he wants to cultivate the orthodox immortal path, it will be more troublesome. In comparison, the divine path might be more suitable. After all, as the master of a secret realm and in charge of its authority, he already possesses many characteristics similar to gods.

"The wood element is the deepest in the Hundred Fruit Garden Secret Realm. After successfully possessing it, this undoubtedly affected my split soul as well."

"Compared to the golden toad, this statue of the God of Spring has a much stronger impact on me."

Touched by his inner feelings, Jiang Chen looked at the Spring God statue again and suddenly saw something different.

Originally, he thought that although the statue of the God of Spring was somewhat mysterious, it was still an inanimate object in essence. But at this moment, he had a different feeling.
