Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 328: Able to transform into innate, regress from spirit to mortal, merge with spiritual plants, and transform mortal into spirit.

Di Xiao's heart surged with excitement, knowing that hope was within reach. At that moment, Zhao Ling'er's Daoist chanting stopped, and her innocent, childlike eyes looked at Di Xiao: "I... I'm done speaking."

As she spoke, she looked at Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing beside her with a slightly socially awkward expression. Bai Suzhen, meanwhile, sighed and chuckled, "Ling'er, we agreed that the sect's secrets shouldn't be passed on to outsiders. How could you have revealed the mysteries of the 'Life Transformation Scripture'?"

"I... I accidentally blurted it out while I was talking." Zhao Ling'er also realized that she seemed to have said too much and revealed a secret method that was not passed on to outsiders in her clan.

What could Bai Suzhen say? She could only smile bitterly at Di Xiao and sigh repeatedly, "Alas... Governor Di Xiao, Ling'er has been protected too well within the clan. She actually revealed the 'Life Transformation Scripture,' a secret of the Nuwa clan. This 'Life Transformation Scripture' is a special scripture created by the Goddess Nuwa for the Nuwa clan, enabling the acquired members of the Nuwa clan to transform into innate beings through this method. Now that you know about it, it may cause some trouble."

"The secret method has been leaked, which is troublesome. I will do everything I can to resolve this matter." Di Xiao was grateful. Zhao Ling'er had actually revealed the secret method. Although it was a mistake on Zhao Ling'er's part, Di Xiao would bear the consequences.

Zhao Ling'er's unintentional transmission of the magic not only greatly helped Di Xiao in creating new grain varieties, but also helped him find the path to the future.

The core of the Life Transformation Sutra is to consume vast innate resources to continuously transform one's own life, ultimately transforming from an acquired being into an innate being.

Acquired beings and innate beings may seem to differ by only one word, but they are worlds apart. After all, different levels of life also mean different strengths and foundations.

Under the same circumstances, beings born naturally far surpass those born later in life. Of course, this is not absolute, but it is certain that beings born naturally have a greater advantage.

After all, the path of cultivation in the primordial world is itself a process of self-transformation. And what could be more thorough than transforming oneself from an acquired being into an innate being?

Moreover, all humans today are beings born after birth. Upon reaching a certain level of cultivation, they will undergo a qualitative transformation towards their innate nature. However, the impact of completing this transformation earlier is even greater.

Di Xiao was filled with gratitude, but he also knew what the magic Zhao Ling'er had passed on would bring. He immediately became extremely cautious: "Miss Ling'er, I, Di Xiao, will bear the consequences of your passing on the magic of the Nuwa clan. If the Nuwa clan ever blames me in the future, I, Di Xiao, will take full responsibility."

Di Xiao spoke these words with great seriousness and confidence. Although the Nuwa clan was involved, Di Xiao believed in his abilities and was certain he could find a solution.

Zhao Ling'er was at a loss and could only nod silently. Bai Suzhen sighed softly, her jade hand stroking Ling'er's hair to comfort her, "This is the only way. But I hope His Majesty Di Xiao will not spread this method."

"Of course!" Di Xiao became even more cautious, then turned to look at the many grains and spiritual plants on the ground, full of confidence: "Next, let's see if the method I have comprehended and created can truly complete the transformation of the grains."

As he spoke, he gathered many drought-resistant spiritual plants. Although this drought affected the entire Nine Provinces, making it difficult to grow crops, the Nine Provinces still possessed many drought-resistant plants that could still thrive easily.

For example, the poplar trees and cacti that can grow in the desert... these drought-resistant plants can survive even in the desert.

What Di Xiao needs to do now is to cut the roots and stems of drought-resistant crops such as poplars and cacti. Then, he will connect the branches and leaves of the grain seeds to these roots and stems. The roots and stems of these drought-resistant crops will support the growth of the grain seeds.

After Di Xiao grafted the two different crops, he used the newly created Creation Grafting Technique.

These are two different species, both plants, but fundamentally different. It's like merging a lion and a tiger, or an elephant, to create a new creature.

Fortunately, they were able to blend together by the workings of nature, which allowed the differences between the two species to gradually merge and become one through the Great Dao.

Seeing Di Xiao's actions, the astute Bai Suzhen naturally understood his thoughts: "Prefect Di Xiao, you are preparing to use the power of creation to fuse two spiritual plants and then evolve a new type of grain. I once read in my sect's ancient texts that the agricultural sages of the Spring and Autumn period also made such a plan. But in the end, they all failed."

"Even if there were a few successful experiences, the resulting crops would revert to their original state after only a few generations of reproduction. They would not inherit the characteristics of either species at all."

"Moreover, according to the summaries of the ancient agricultural sages, the reason they failed was entirely because many of today's spiritual plants are derived from innate spiritual plants or innate spiritual roots. These innate things inherently contain their own Great Dao. And it is very difficult for Great Daos to completely merge with each other."

"Just as the Great Dao of Life and the Great Dao of Creation are extremely similar, it is simply impossible to merge the two great Daos and evolve them into a new one."

Di Xiao looked at Bai Suzhen with slight surprise, not expecting that this pretty girl would know so much. She even knew some of the stories created by the ancient sages of agriculture.

This shows that the Old Mother of Lishan behind Bai Suzhen is truly extraordinary.

In truth, Di Xiao, having perused numerous human classics, was well aware that the Spring and Autumn Period of humanity was undoubtedly a golden age for human literature and scholarship. Most of the classics still circulating among humans today were created during that era.

The various schools of thought that emerged during the Spring and Autumn Period, in particular, each brought about tremendous changes to the entire human race. The Agricultural School was one such example, as they studied the ways of agriculture and various grain varieties to solve the food problem for future generations.

What Di Xiao is thinking now is something that farmers have also practiced back then.

Di Xiao knew all this, yet he remained confident: "I naturally know what Miss Su Zhen is saying. However, you should also understand that although innate spiritual roots contain the Great Dao, the Great Dao contained within them diminishes after they degenerate into acquired spiritual roots. And after degenerating into acquired spiritual plants, the Great Dao contained within them diminishes even further."

"What if the acquired spiritual plant continues to degenerate? Or even degenerates to the point where its own Great Dao disappears completely? Then the two things will merge again without any interference from the Great Dao."

"That's a new idea. But if we actually do it, something just doesn't feel right." Bai Suzhen couldn't quite put her finger on it.

But Di Xiao ignored Bai Suzhen and began his own plans. He created a new species using the method of grafting, which inherited the drought resistance of the poplar tree and the ability to produce grain.
