Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy

Leaving the Jade Void Palace, Meng Chen and Yellow Dragon True Man parted ways, each choosing a direction and heading into Kunlun Mountain. The disciples of the Chan Sect were all very self-aware, selecting directions that kept them far from Biyou Palace.

Although the disciples of the two sects had not yet clashed, staying farther away from the Disciples of Intercepting Teaching reduced the likelihood of conflict with them.

In truth, the closer the relationship between people, the higher the chance of conflict. Strangers, on the other hand, share no emotional bonds and hold no expectations of each other, so conflicts are relatively fewer.

If a disciple of the Western Church snatched an opportunity from a Disciple of Intercepting Teaching, the latter would at most fight back to reclaim it. The Intercepting Teaching would not resent the Western Church, because they held no expectations of them.

But if a Chan Sect disciple stole an opportunity from a Disciple of Intercepting Teaching, the latter would not only take it back but also feel that the Chan Sect had disregarded the bond of the Three Pure Ones, deepening their resentment.

The vast Kunlun stretched endlessly, its towering peaks so immense that any single summit, if lifted to the heavens, could rival the stars.

As a sage's Daoist Temple, Kunlun Mountain had become a divine mountain. Its spatial structure was extremely complex, densely packed with various Small Chiliocosms, minor planes, and secret realms.

These Small Chiliocosms, minor planes, and secret realms were formed from the auspicious blessings the sage bestowed upon all beings upon achieving sagehood. Within them lay countless rare treasures, immortal herbs, and spiritual roots. They opened to the outside world at regular intervals, serving as the sage's gift to all living things.

Meng Chen stepped into the mountain and felt that Kunlun Mountain was different from before. As he flew through the peaks, the Dao charm of Kunlun spontaneously entered his body, becoming part of his cultivation.

He immediately understood that this was a benefit of being a Chan Sect disciple.

The Three Pure Ones were the masters of the Kunlun Sacred Realm. As a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, Meng Chen had also gained the recognition of the Kunlun Sacred Realm's Calamity Fate.

This situation was the same as when he was at the Eastern Celestial Pole.

The Meng Zhang Divine Lord had once mentioned to him that heaven, earth, and humans were actually one, because they all originated from Pangu.

When a cultivator possessed a Blessed Land, they would breathe and share fate with it, cultivating together. Once the cultivator achieved Da Luo, they could merge their Dao fruit with the Blessed Land's origin, refining it into their own avatar.

From then on, even if this great power did not cultivate and lay idle every day, their cultivation would still grow automatically, because the Blessed Land would grow along with heaven and earth, and its growth would in turn drive the great power's cultivation forward.

It sounded unbelievable, but this was precisely the driving force behind Hongjun Daozu and the sages' development of the Primordial Wilderness. A certain great power who had planted ginseng fruits had even founded the Earth Immortal Dao based on this principle.

"Found it!"

As Meng Chen flew, his eyes lit up. He spotted an endless, vast forest.

The Eastern Celestial Pole was a realm of trees, filled with towering divine trees everywhere. Some divine trees had branches stretching thousands of light-years long.

Though the trees of the Kunlun Sacred Realm could not compare to the divine trees carefully cultivated by the Meng Zhang Divine Lord, those that grew naturally still contained a unique Dao charm.

Meng Chen plunged headfirst into the great forest. Immediately, he was enveloped by the forest's thick, indissoluble Dao charm. He couldn't help but open his mouth and inhale, letting rolling waves of Dao charm flow into his body, refreshing his spirit.

"Not bad! From now on, this will be my Daoist Temple in Kunlun Mountain."

Meng Chen snapped his fingers, and a massive stone tablet descended from the sky, landing at the entrance of the great forest and plunging deep into the earth. On the tablet, four large characters were carved in Innate Divine Script: Boundless Tree Sea.

He was very satisfied with the environment of the Boundless Tree Sea. Their Azure Dragon lineage always preferred to establish Daoist Temples in forests.

However, just as Meng Chen was about to manifest a palace, he sensed the presence of an Innate Spiritual Root.

His true form was the Azure Dragon, making his perception of Innate Spiritual Roots extremely acute. Even a seedling or a single seed, he could clearly detect.

Meng Chen's heart filled with joy. He hadn't expected that merely establishing a Daoist Temple would yield an unexpected gain. An Innate Spiritual Root was a treasure that could be used either to suppress Calamity Fate or to cultivate divine abilities.

During the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, Kong Ji, the great elder of the Phoenix Clan, had once used the Innate Five-Pine Needle Tree to cultivate the Innate Five-Colored Divine Light.

After mastering the Innate Five-Colored Divine Light, Kong Ji, unwilling to remain subordinate for long, colluded with Ancestor Qilin to launch a coup, attempting to kill Yuan Feng and take her place.

Though Kong Ji failed, his audacity in scheming against Yuan Feng was enough to demonstrate the power of this divine ability.

Meng Chen carefully sensed the direction of the Innate Spiritual Root, took a step forward, and the space beneath his feet compressed, shrinking a distance of billions of trillions of miles into a single step.

When he set his foot down, he stood before the Innate Spiritual Root.

This was a juvenile Innate Spiritual Root, only three hundred miles tall. Compared to a mature Innate Spiritual Root, it was as small as an ant. Yet, even at just three hundred miles, its trunk was covered in innate Dao marks, and every leaf bore endless mysteries.

Most peculiar of all, its leaves constantly released a special kind of spiritual energy.

This spiritual energy was not like innate spiritual energy, which was colorless and odorless. It was gray and hazy, like smoke.

Meng Chen grabbed a wisp and savored it carefully. Then, his eyes flew wide open.

"What kind of spiritual energy is this? It can actually increase one's origin?"

Meng Chen's mind shook violently.

He prided himself on his deep family knowledge and understood all kinds of spiritual energy.

Pure Yang spiritual energy, Pure Yin spiritual energy, Immortal spiritual energy, Nine Nether spiritual energy, Five Elements spiritual energy... Yet, none of these had the effect of increasing one's origin.

"Could it be... Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy?!"

After eliminating all other possibilities, Meng Chen finally reached a conclusion.

Aside from the Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy he had never seen before, he couldn't imagine what other spiritual energy could have such an effect.

The Innate Spiritual Root before him could produce Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy!

"No wonder, no wonder the trees near this Innate Spiritual Root are so massive."

Meng Chen looked at the immortal trees around him, large enough to support a minor plane, and his doubts vanished.

The divine trees of the Eastern Celestial Pole were all Innate Spiritual Roots, and they had been nurtured by the Meng Zhang Divine Lord to reach such sizes.

Most of the trees in the Boundless Tree Sea were merely immortal trees, not Innate Spiritual Roots. Their growth to such immense sizes was problematic.

It turned out that deep within the tree sea, there was an Innate Spiritual Root, continuously supplying Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy to the surrounding trees, elevating their origins.

Thinking this, Meng Chen's gaze at the Innate Spiritual Root burned with intensity.

This Innate Spiritual Root was practically the foundation for his achieve Dao!

Once he refined this Innate Spiritual Root and turned it into an external avatar, it would bring him boundless benefits for his cultivation.
