Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 397 All things prosper
The Hundred Fruit Garden Secret Realm is bathed in the bright sunlight, which reflects off the green mountains and supports the entire secret realm.

At this moment, a hundred-foot-tall peach tree phantom appeared, stretching its branches and leaves, stirring up the winds and clouds in all directions, and the spiritual energy of the entire secret realm moved accordingly, forming a series of magnificent spiritual energy torrents.

With a flash, Jiang Chen's true form quietly appeared inside the secret realm.

"What a magnificent momentum!"

Taking in all the changes, Jiang Chen looked at Tao Yao, who was at the center of the spiritual energy storm, and knew that Tao Yao was about to break through to the Dao Foundation stage.

Previously, when he cultivated the Taihua Supporting Heaven Secret Manual and established the Green Mountain, the secret realm underwent changes. Tao Yao seized that opportunity for a breakthrough. After a period of accumulation, it transformed into a top-grade true qi, successfully fused the spiritual treasure, the Spirit Marrow Wood, and began to truly break through to the Dao Foundation Realm.

"Back then, Tao Yao and I cultivated the Jade Pot Danxia Manual together. I used the true meaning of decay and prosperity hidden deep within Tao Yao's body to refine myself, thereby cultivating top-grade true qi. After I achieved top-grade, Tao Yao also benefited from it, breaking through the limit of high-grade true qi and achieving top-grade."

"With such a foundation, it is not a problem for Tao Yao to condense a Dao Foundation. The only problem is whether it condenses a high-grade Dao Foundation or a flawless Dao Foundation."

With these thoughts colliding, Jiang Chen communicated with his spiritual master and activated the Returning Origin Locking Spirit Array to further seal off the entire secret realm, preventing any commotion from spreading out. Perhaps due to her own talent, Tao Yao's breakthrough to the Dao Foundation this time was exceptionally loud.

As time passed and under the influence of spiritual energy, Tao Yao underwent countless cycles of growth and decay, becoming increasingly translucent, as if carved from celestial jade, without the slightest impurity. At the same time, its aura grew stronger and stronger.

At a certain moment, the Dao Foundation was completely condensed, and a harmonious and flawless aura flowed naturally from Tao Yao's body. In that instant, it seemed to become the center of the entire secret realm.

Noticing this change, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.

"A flawless Dao foundation? Tao Yao truly did not disappoint me."

Upon confirming that Tao Yao had completed her breakthrough and established a flawless foundation, Jiang Chen was overjoyed.

"Uh-huh-huh..."

With a rustling sound, the branches and leaves swayed. At the moment of achieving the Dao Foundation, almost following its instincts, Tao Yao activated its innate power.

At this moment, a beam of emerald light burst forth from Tao Yao's center, sweeping across the entire secret realm. Under the influence of this light, vegetation grew wildly, monkeys roared, and cranes danced in the air. The entire secret realm was enveloped by an extremely rich life force.

"What a comforting aura! This power seems to help plants and animals grow."

Feeling completely refreshed, Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow. His spiritual body had been tempered many times, and ordinary spiritual objects had almost no effect on him. However, at this moment, bathed in this emerald light, he felt subtle changes within himself, which was truly rare.

Most importantly, besides its true form, the Mist Dragon was also extremely restless.

"If I'm not mistaken, Tao Yao's spiritual light seems to have some kind of stimulation on the bloodline of demons."

Sensing the changes in the mist dragon, Jiang Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

At this very moment, another change occurred. Affected by Tao Yao, the spiritual veins became turbulent. The three spiritual veins that were originally attached to Tao Yao's roots seemed to have found an opportunity and began to truly merge.

During this process, there were conflicts and collisions between them, but under Tao Yao's suppression, these conflicts and collisions were eventually eliminated.

A moment later, the three spiritual veins merged, and a cloud-white spiritual embryo was born, exuding wisps of mysterious energy. Nourished by this mysterious energy, Tao Yao's demonic body became increasingly extraordinary, undergoing a process of renewal, branching into exactly thirty-six branches, with flowers blooming all over the tree, achieving a sense of perfection.

After completing her transformation, Tao Yao's consciousness surged, and she immediately contacted Jiang Chen.

"The flourishing of all things? Is this the innate ability you gained by forging a flawless foundation? I didn't expect it to be a domain-type ability. It can not only promote the growth of all things, but also increase the possibility of life breaking through its limits."

Upon receiving Tao Yao's feedback, Jiang Chen suddenly realized why the mist dragon had been so restless earlier.

"When a True Person of the Purple Mansion comprehends the true meaning, every move he makes can connect with the power of heaven and earth. He can use the power of the Purple Mansion to interfere with the outside world and rewrite the illusion of the outside world. I never expected that Tao Yao, who has only just entered the Dao Foundation stage, would have mastered a similar ability."

"In this way, as long as Tao Yao is here, I will soon be able to have a weakened version of the treasure land. No, I can't say weakened. Although the treasure land created by the Purple Mansion cultivator can produce unique third-order spiritual items, in terms of mystery, it may not be able to compare with the abundance of all things in Tao Yao."

As their thoughts collided, Jiang Chen marveled at the extraordinary nature of Tao Yao's talent.

Sensing Jiang Chen's emotional fluctuations, Tao Yao became even happier. In that instant, Fang Yunbai's spiritual embryo trembled, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged, actually giving rise to spirit stones.

Sensing this change, Jiang Chen's eyes flickered. Tao Yao's flourishing of all things is a complex innate power that not only involves the principles of growth and decay but also contains the wonders of the spiritual energy wheel.

"Is this going to create a spirit stone vein? It seems that the Spirit Marrow Wood has further strengthened Tao Yao's control over spiritual energy."

"It is precisely because of this that Tao Yao was able to merge the three minor spiritual veins into a spiritual embryo, which possessed some of the essence of a third-order spiritual vein and could generate primordial energy."

With his divine sense spreading out, Jiang Chen carefully observed the changes in spiritual energy.

There is a fundamental difference between third-tier and second-tier spiritual veins. It is easy to split a third-tier spiritual vein into a second-tier spiritual vein, but it is never easy for a second-tier spiritual vein to become a third-tier spiritual vein. This involves a qualitative change. If you cannot grasp the key, it will be useless to gather more second-tier spiritual veins.

"The spiritual embryo has been formed. The next step is to nourish it continuously. Therefore, the refining of the money tree must be put on the agenda."

"The money tree takes root and can draw on the power of heaven and earth to transform into spiritual money, which can be used to nourish the spiritual embryo."

A thought suddenly occurred to Jiang Chen.

He had obtained the method for making the Money Tree a long time ago, and he had also collected almost all the relevant materials over the years. However, he had not been able to make it because the rootless wood, which was the main ingredient, was too difficult to find.

“Rootless wood is indeed rare. It is not even listed in the treasure catalog of the Wuchang Sect. However, the Wuchang Sect has a strong foundation and many disciples. Perhaps one of the disciples or elders has information about rootless wood. I may be able to put up a bounty through the Taixu Mirror to find rootless wood, but I still need to offer a suitable price.”

As the thought raced through his mind, Jiang Chenquan weighed the pros and cons.

He hadn't done this before, mainly because he didn't want to cause trouble and disturb his cultivation. Now that his soul had broken through to the third level and he had established his authority through Wu Jun'an, he could change his style of doing things.

Having caught a glimpse of Jiang Chen's thoughts, Tao Yao extended one of her branches, as if to give it to Jiang Chen.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen smiled.
