I became an immortal by synthesizing plants.

In the following years, Chen Qingshan hardly used the power of the Purple Star.

Many spiritual plants have also been planted in the mangrove grotto, and they now occupy one-tenth of the grotto.

Having stayed in the mangrove forest cave for almost six years, Chen Qingshan was ready to go out and take a look.

It's a good opportunity to collect some treasures.

Chen Qingshan walked to the side of the Dao Spirit Giant Cypress, which had already advanced to the third tier of spiritual plants.

"Dao Ling, I'm going out to take a look around and get some fresh air. Do you want to stay here by yourself, or come out with me?" Chen Qing asked.

"Of course I'll go out with you, otherwise I won't feel safe," Dao Ling Ju Bai said excitedly.

Chen Qingshan opened the inner world, which was now incredibly vast, with a diameter of over a thousand kilometers. Only the sun remained in the sky, and the Purple Star had been hidden.

"Wow! It's really quite big." Dao Ling Giant Cypress said with some surprise.

Chen Qingshan asked in confusion, "You can still see?"

Dao Ling Giant Cypress scoffed, "Do you think only you can see it? I am the embodiment of the Great Dao. It's easy for me to grow a pair of eyes."

Chen Qingshan ignored the boastful fellow and urged it to go inside quickly.

Ignoring Chen Qingshan's urging, the giant cypress tree exclaimed in shock, "How come you also have a spiritual plant with spatial laws? Where did you get it? Was it also fused?"

Chen Qingshan shook his head and said, "I picked this up when I went out. It is a space-type creature by itself."

Dao Ling Giant Cypress said strangely, "They say you have great fortune, but you're still being targeted by something from beyond the heavens; they say you have bad luck, but you still manage to find space-type spiritual plants when you go out."

Dao Ling Jubai changed his tone again, saying with emotion, "I've seen it. It's the ancestor of this race, but its understanding of the spatial laws is very superficial. Where did you find it?"

Chen Qingshan gave an explanation.

Dao Ling Giant Cypress said regretfully, "It was originally exceptionally talented, but unfortunately, its spiritual energy and spiritual potential were too scarce, which caused it to only be able to comprehend the laws of space and steal spiritual energy and spiritual potential from other places, thus exhausting its talent and luck."

Dao Ling Ju Bai didn't say anything more, only expressing regret for the fall of a genius, and even his mood became a bit sour.

Chen Qingshan also felt a little regretful. If there had been more spiritual energy and inspiration, how much would this Arabian Veronica have grown?

After that, Chen Qingshan stopped wasting words with the Dao Spirit Giant Cypress and simply threw it into the Inner World, letting it find a place to take root on its own.

After leaving the mangrove cave, Chen Qingshan flew to Qianhe Royal City.

However, upon arriving at Qianhe Royal City, Chen Qingshan noticed something amiss: the entire city was guarded by only a few Golden Core cultivators.

Chen Qingshan found a cultivator guarding the royal city and showed him his identity token.

"Greetings, Master Chunting!" the cultivator said respectfully.

Chen Qingshan didn't stand on ceremony and asked, "Why are there only a few of you in the royal city? Where are the other cultivators and the patriarch?"

The garrisoned cultivator replied, "They've all gone to the border. The Xiangyanghua Prefecture has invaded, and our clan has already started a war with the Zhao clan."

Chen Qingshan was both puzzled and confused, and asked, "Why didn't anyone inform me how many cultivators were transferred out of the clan?"

The garrisoned cultivator said, "Most Golden Core cultivators have already gone to the Yellow Bay Corridor; those below the Golden Core realm will not participate in any battles."

Chen Qingshan left without looking back and returned to the Cloud Palace, immediately rushing to the First Palace.

Seeing Ancestor Qiyuan sitting at his desk, Chen Qingshan walked over and asked, "Ancestor, why did you suddenly go to war with Xiangyang Prefecture?"

Ancestor Qiyuan was in a real bind. Hearing Chen Qingshan's voice, he was momentarily stunned, and then said:

"It's not that we want war, it's that they don't want you to live."

Chen Qingshan was taken aback, suddenly realizing that he might have been a bit too high-profile on Xianhe Road.

Looking at the silent Qingshan, Ancestor Qiyuan advised, "Qingshan, you should go back to the Red Forest Cave Heaven first. We are here, and we will handle this matter."

Chen Qingshan did not respond, but instead asked, "Ancestor, what is the situation regarding casualties within the clan?"

After a long silence, Ancestor Qiyuan said, "More than a year into the war, 17 Golden Core cultivators have already perished."

Chen Qingshan then asked, "And what about the other side?"

"14." Old Ancestor Qiyuan's tone was devoid of emotion.

Chen Qingshan: "How did these 17 Golden Core cultivators die? How could this happen?"

"Originally it was just a battle between Golden Core cultivators, but later they secretly sent Immortal Transformation Realm and Spirit Immortal Realm cultivators to assassinate our clansmen," said Ancestor Qiyuan angrily.

"Where is the battlefield?" Chen Qingshan felt powerless and angry.

"Qingshan, you really can't go this time. If you go, you'll fall into their trap, and the other cultivators in the clan will perish in vain," said Ancestor Qiyuan in a kind tone.

Chen Qingshan nodded helplessly. He had already learned his lesson on Xianhe Road once, and it would be incredibly foolish to go there again.

Moreover, if he goes there, what was originally a minor skirmish will turn into a major war between the two races, and then it will be much more than just the casualties of 17 Golden Core members.

"Ancestor, let me help the clansmen refine some immortal artifacts." In the end, Chen Qingshan could only make a contribution in this area.

"Alright, remember, never act impulsively," Ancestor Qiyuan instructed.

Chen Qingshan nodded, then suddenly looked towards the Temple of Destiny, and thought of the giant cypress tree in the inner world.

"Ancestor, is it because the clan's fortunes have gradually declined since I synthesized the new spiritual plant?" Chen Qingshan felt that the cause of all this still stemmed from him.

Ancestor Qiyuan remained silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since you consumed your fortune to fuse with the spiritual plant, the clan's fortune has declined considerably."

"I understand." Chen Qingshan walked towards the Natural Hall, towards the place where he often refined weapons.

Chen Qingshan made a list of items he wanted to refine, hoping to recreate the renowned divine artifacts from his previous life.

However, Chen Qingshan knew that it was a spiritual treasure with an innate level, and he could only imitate its abilities, not create that level.

Led by the Four Swords of Zhuxian, Chen Qingshan began forging spiritual treasures day and night.

At the same time, Chen Qingshan also sent a message to Ancestor Qiyuan, asking him to summon four Golden Core Realm clansmen who cultivated swordsmanship.

One of them was an old acquaintance of Chen Qingshan, Master Tianyang.

Master Tianyang stood inside the hall, awaiting Chen Qingshan's instructions.

"Master Tianyang, do you practice swordsmanship?" Chen Qingshan asked in confusion.

Master Tianyang nodded and said, "Yes, but the sword path is too heavy with killing energy, so I went to the Blessed Land of Hundred Fruits to nurture the sword path with the gentlest spiritual energy."

"Tianyang Zhenren, when I summon the Zhuxian Sword later, come over and infuse your essence blood into it, making it your natal spiritual weapon."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Qingshan said.

Master Tianyang nodded and stood aside.

Then, Chen Qingshan looked at the other three Golden Core clansmen.
