Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 387 The Unextinguished Spirit Butterfly
Orchid Peak, a second-tier spiritual peak within the inner sect, is famous for its abundant Moonlight Orchids. These orchids grow by absorbing the essence of the moon and can be used to refine pills that calm the mind, focus the spirit, and suppress inner demons. Due to the cultivation methods, these pills are very popular within the Impermanence Sect.

It is precisely because of this that this spiritual peak is one of the most prominent second-tier spiritual peaks in the sect. The person in charge of this spiritual peak is Ge Ziling, who is an inner disciple with a Dao Foundation cultivation level and also has the potential to break through to the True Inheritance level.

At this very moment, in the most important spiritual field of Orchid Grass Peak, a female cultivator was sprinkling the spiritual essence of plants and trees to nourish all things. She was dressed in a plain blue robe embroidered with orchids. She had a round figure and a flat face, and a bloodstain between her eyebrows added to her fierce aura.

Yet this woman, walking among the spiritual fields, with butterflies fluttering and scattering spiritual light to nourish the spiritual herbs, displaying a vibrant and thriving scene, is none other than Ge Ziling.

"What did they say from Diancui Mountain?"

After the nourishment of the spirit field ended, the countless spirit butterflies disappeared, and Ge Ziling turned her gaze to the maid Chunlan who was waiting to the side.

She was born into the Ge family, but not long ago she received news from her family that a genius disciple of a sect had appeared in the Southern Wilderness, who might have a chance to become a true disciple in the future, and she should pay more attention to him.

At first, she didn't care about this. A genius? The Wuchang Sect is not lacking in geniuses. Even she herself is a genius. It's not that just because someone is a genius, they can become a true disciple of the sect. But as Jiang Chen achieved the Dao without flaw, she was truly surprised.

Compared to seeking enlightenment at Mount Taihua, forging a flawless foundation for the Dao is undoubtedly a more direct manifestation of one's talent, and at least in this respect, she is inferior to Jiang Chen.

"Miss, Diancui Mountain has received the invitation, but they say Jiang Chen has gone into seclusion again, and it's unknown when he will emerge..."

"Miss, I think they did it on purpose. They've only cultivated a flawless foundation; our Ge family has several Purple Mansion experts overseeing us..."

Her words carried a hint of indignation, and Chunlan's pretty face revealed a touch of anger.

Upon hearing this and sensing the resentment in Chunlan's words, Ge Ziling's gaze suddenly sharpened.

"How dare you say such a thing? It seems I've been too lenient with you all these years..."

"You've only cultivated a flawless Dao Foundation. Do you know what a flawless Dao Foundation means? In all these years of my Ge family's lineage, we've never produced a single person with a flawless Dao Foundation..."

As her gaze fell upon Chunlan, a chill ran through Ge Ziling.

Upon seeing Ge Ziling like this, Chunlan's body suddenly stiffened.

"I'm sorry, miss, it was my mistake. Please give me another chance..."

Kneeling on the ground, Chunlan begged for mercy repeatedly. Although she was also a Qi Refining cultivator, she was nothing in front of Ge Ziling.

"There won't be a next time. My Ge family cannot tolerate a servant like you..."

A cold voice rang out, and Ge Ziling waved her sleeve, causing illusory butterfly shadows to appear, instantly enveloping Chunlan. At that moment, blazing flames burst forth from the butterfly shadows. These were the Unextinguished Butterflies, a unique species of spirit butterfly, mutated from silkworms, possessing both wood and fire attributes. They could nourish plants and trees, or burn mountains and boil seas.

Once it touches you, it will burn away your life force and turn you into a pile of ashes if you are not careful.

And indeed, that was the case. The moment the butterfly's shadow vanished, the spring orchid had already been burned to ashes and was completely buried in this sacred field.

Seeing this scene, Ge Ziling felt a slight ripple in her heart, but it quickly subsided.

In recent years, she has been in seclusion to cultivate herself. Chunlan was left unattended on Lancao Peak and was sought after by many, but gradually she lost sight of herself.

"It seems I'll have to go there myself. A flawless Dao Foundation, such an achievement is truly enviable..." After dealing with Chunlan, Ge Ziling turned his gaze toward the location of Diancui Mountain and had a thought in his mind.

Given Jiang Chen's current talent, she is indeed worth winning over. Her Ge family is famous for cultivating spiritual herbs and refining pills. Whether it is the inner or outer lineage of the sect, a large part of the reason why they have been able to pass on their legacy for so many years is because they have enough friends.

With that thought in mind, Ge Ziling's figure quietly disappeared into the distance.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Jiang Chen finally finished his comprehension of the Taihua Supporting Heaven Secret Manual.

"This method is very obscure, involving changes such as purity and turbidity, yin and yang. Even after studying it for so long, I have not been able to get started, let alone truly get on the right track."

Opening his eyes and sensing the changes within himself, Jiang Chen frowned.

In terms of obscurity and difficulty of understanding, the Taihua Supporting Heaven Secret Manual is undoubtedly the foremost among the methods he cultivates, even surpassing the Hunyuan Yiqi True Understanding.

"I always felt that the Taihua Supporting Heaven Secret Manual had a certain ancient style, which is very different from the mainstream today."

"Moreover, it seems to be not only a method for refining physical form, but also a wondrous method for opening up celestial realms..."

Having glimpsed a fraction of the essence of the Taihua Heaven-Supporting Secret Manual, Jiang Chen had a flurry of thoughts. It was at this moment that a flash of inspiration suddenly entered his mind.

"A grotto-heaven, opening up a grotto-heaven... By the way, this Taihua Secret Manual is extremely difficult for my original body to comprehend; it's obscure and hard to understand. But what if it were a Spirit Lord?"

"His body is formed from a secret realm, making his essence unique. Although it is far inferior to a true grotto-heaven, there are still some similarities in its origin. In this way, would his comprehension of the Taihua Supporting Heaven Secret Manual be more compatible and easier...?"

Thinking of a certain possibility, Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

With that thought in mind, without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Chen directly entered the secret realm.

In the next instant, his true form entered the high-hanging spiritual palace, his consciousness merging with the spiritual master, and Jiang Chen began to comprehend the Taihua Supporting Heaven Secret Manual.

At this moment, the mist began to dissipate, and the profound mystery of the Taihua Supporting Heaven Secret Manual began to truly unfold before his eyes. Although the process of comprehending it was still somewhat difficult, at least there were clues to follow, and he was no longer completely clueless as before.

"Yes, yes, if I want to master the Taihua Supporting Heaven Secret Manual, the power of heaven and earth is crucial. Only by using the power of heaven and earth to refine myself can I transform my spine into a pillar of heaven and support my own physical body's microcosm."

At one moment, a sudden realization dawned on him, and Jiang Chen opened his eyes, his heart filled with joy. However, he quickly frowned again.

"The power of heaven and earth is vast and profound. Even Dao Foundation cultivators can only enter the Spirit Transformation state and barely touch upon it. It is too difficult to take the power of heaven and earth for one's own use. Purple Mansion cultivators may be able to try."

"Moreover, forcibly seizing the power of heaven and earth is not the best strategy; doing so will surely result in a backlash."

As the thoughts collided, Jiang Chen's brows furrowed even more deeply.

"It seems that the final cultivation of this secret technique still depends on this secret realm."

Sitting high in his spiritual abode, overlooking the entire secret realm, Jiang Chen pondered for a while and came up with some ideas.
