Chapter 35: The Intended Ginseng Fruit Feast (Please add to your favorites and continue reading)

Looking at the Southern Flame Banner in the sky, Zhen Yuanzi felt a slight sense of regret.

It's a pity that it's not the Western Plain Cloud Banner or the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Banner, or even the Central Wu Ji Apricot Yellow Banner or the Eastern Azure Lotus Treasure Banner, otherwise it might have been able to completely complete the Innate Yin Yang Divine Diagram.

The innate Kui water energy in the innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram is not the innate Ren water energy, but the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag contains the Dao of innate Ren water, which can gather innate Ren water energy and control all the waters in the heavens.

The Western Plain Cloud Banner contains the innate Geng Metal Dao, while the Central Wu Ji Apricot Yellow Banner and the Eastern Azure Lotus Treasure Banner, the former is in harmony with Zhen Yuanzi's background and is most suitable for Zhen Yuanzi, while the latter contains the innate Jia Wood Dao.

It can be said that among the Five Elements and Five Directions Flags of the Primordial Heaven, only the Southern Flame Flag is of the least use to Zhen Yuanzi.

It is far inferior to the other four innate spirit flags.

However, on the other hand, the Southern Flame Banner is not only an innate defensive spiritual treasure, but it can also disrupt Yin and Yang and reverse the Five Elements, making it most suitable for concealing heavenly secrets. It is almost comparable to the Luoshu and Hetu.

"Another innate defensive spiritual treasure!" Zhen Yuanzi muttered to himself.

First came the companion spirit treasure, the Earth Book, followed by the innate twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus, and then the innate twelfth-grade Destruction Black Lotus and the ninth-grade Black Lotus, totaling four innate defensive spirit treasures.

This doesn't even include the Primordial Yin-Yang Divine Diagram, the Southern Flame Banner before us, or the somewhat damaged Primordial Ninth-Grade Black Lotus left behind after the Mingjiao's fall.

If one were to use several innate spiritual treasures together for protection, it would likely surpass the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, a treasure of acquired merit bestowed by the Taiqing Daoist.

Zhen Yuanzi didn't dwell on it for long. He waved his sleeve and put away the Southern Flame Banner and the somewhat damaged Innate Ninth Grade Black Lotus. Then he put the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram into his primordial spirit and removed the Innate Yin-Yang Great Array.

As soon as Zhen Yuanzi walked over, he heard Dong Wanggong laughing loudly.

"Hahaha, thanks to all my fellow Daoists for your help. Today, we have finally wiped out the Netherworld Demonic Sect in one fell swoop. I have finally fulfilled a long-cherished wish." Dongwanggong looked at the Netherworld Demonic Sect's mountain gate in ruins and the place where Mingjiao, Fubi, Cuiwei, and Shangxiang had fallen, and couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"By the way, where is Fellow Daoist Hongyun?" Dongwanggong realized that he had not seen Hongyun and the group of disciples of the Chunyang lineage, and did not know the extent of their casualties.

Zhen Yuanzi wasn't worried about this. After all, Hongyun was a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and protecting the disciples of the Pure Yang lineage wouldn't be difficult for him.

Even if there are casualties, they probably won't be too many.

Furthermore, Zhen Yuanzi reaped a great harvest this time. He not only completely eradicated the Netherworld Demonic Sect, eliminating a potential threat, but also acquired the innate spiritual treasures Southern Flame Banner and the innate ninth-grade black lotus.

It can be said that they gained a lot.

On the contrary, Shangqing Daoist felt that it was not quite enough. Shang Xiang was a man of extraordinary cultivation and supernatural powers. The purple light emanating from his body could corrode innate sword energy. He had originally wanted to have a good fight with him.

Unfortunately, Shang Xiang and the others planned to set up the Four Symbols Heavenly Demon Formation, so Shangqing Daoist had no choice but to unleash the Three Pure Immortal Thunder to kill them.

At this moment, a red auspicious cloud flew over with hundreds of rays of light. It was Hongyun and the disciples of the Chunyang lineage who had gone to besiege a group of Netherworld Demon Cult members.

When Dongwanggong saw Hongyun and a group of disciples from the Chunyang lineage return, he felt relieved.

This time, the disciples of the Chunyang lineage went out in full force, and most of them have returned unharmed. Only less than a hundred disciples died and their souls were destroyed, and a few were seriously injured, their primordial spirits being eroded by evil energy or the energy of the Nine Netherworlds.

Even so, Dongwanggong still felt heartbroken and became somewhat depressed.

"We went a bit too far while we were besieging the Netherworld Demon Cult members," Hongyun said, looking embarrassed.

The recent deaths of four powerful figures from the Netherworld Demonic Cult—Mingjiao, Fubi, Cuiwei, and Shangxiang—have led many members of the cult to attempt to escape.

Seeing this, Hongyun could only lead a group of Chunyang disciples in pursuit. Except for a few who escaped, almost all of them were killed.

"Fellow Daoists, the Netherworld Demonic Sect has been eradicated, and I shall now return to the overseas world." The Queen Mother of the West has always stayed overseas to cultivate in seclusion and has never interfered in the affairs of the primordial world.

If it weren't for the invitation from the Eastern King, she would never have bothered with the affairs of the Netherworld Demonic Sect.

At this time, the Netherworld Demonic Sect had been eradicated, and she was to return overseas to cultivate in order to avoid getting involved in trouble and karma.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you stay a few more days?"

"I intend to take this opportunity to hold a ginseng fruit banquet, and I would like to invite all fellow Daoists and disciples of the Pure Yang lineage to grace us with their presence." Zhen Yuanzi had long had this plan, but he had not said it out loud.

Upon hearing that Zhen Yuanzi planned to hold a ginseng fruit banquet, Hongyun clapped her hands excitedly and said to Xi Wangmu, "Fellow Daoist, Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit is extraordinary. It is the fruit of the innate Jia wood spiritual root ginseng fruit tree, one of the ten great spiritual roots of the primordial world."

"A ginseng fruit tree with innate Jia wood spiritual root?" Daoist Taiqing looked surprised.

"I've heard that this ginseng fruit tree blossoms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and takes another three thousand years to mature. In the short term, it only produces thirty fruits every ten thousand years," Shangqing Daoist blurted out.

"Fellow Daoist, what a fortunate opportunity!" Daoist Yuqing exclaimed.

Dongwanggong smiled but remained silent. He not only knew that Zhenyuanzi possessed a ginseng fruit tree, but he had also tasted it and even gifted some of the fruits to his disciples for cultivation.

"One of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots of the Primordial Era!"

A glint of wonder flashed in the Queen Mother of the West's beautiful eyes, and she immediately opened her jade-like mouth, saying, "This humble servant has never seen an innate spiritual root before; I wonder what mysteries it holds!"

Before Zhen Yuanzi could speak, Hongyun began to introduce the ginseng fruit tree with great enthusiasm, "The fruit that grows on the ginseng fruit tree is also known as the Grass Returning Pill. It is naturally incompatible with the five elements. It falls when it encounters metal, withers when it encounters wood, dissolves when it encounters water, burns when it encounters fire, and enters when it encounters earth."

"Some ginseng fruits have even begun to show signs of intelligence, as if they might take human form at any moment."

Hongyun spoke eloquently, which amazed the disciples of the Pure Yang lineage. The only regret was that the Ginseng Fruit Tree only produced thirty fruits every ten thousand years, and they were afraid they would never have the chance to taste them.

However, being able to see the ginseng fruit tree, one of the ten innate spiritual roots of the primordial world, with my own eyes was still quite satisfying.

The ginseng fruits that were about to take human form surprised them even more.

If the ginseng fruit were to take human form, what kind of origin would it have?

Even if he is not as good as the innate gods and demons, he can still be considered to have entered the innate realm.

However, after hundreds of millions of years, these ginseng fruits still have not taken human form.

Hongyun's words gave the Queen Mother of the West a slight jolt, and she said, "In that case, I would like to see for myself."

"This humble Taoist will go ahead and lead the way for you fellow Taoists." Seeing that the Queen Mother of the West had agreed, Zhen Yuanzi rode on auspicious clouds and flew towards Longevity Mountain.

Upon seeing this, Hongyun, Xiwangmu, and the Three Pure Ones all raised auspicious clouds, while Dongwanggong gathered all the disciples of the Chunyang lineage before raising his own auspicious clouds.
