Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy

Leaving Jade Void Palace, Meng Chen parted ways with Yellow Dragon True Man. Each chose a different direction and headed into Kunlun Mountain. The Chan Sect disciples were all quite self-aware; every direction they chose led away from Biyou Palace.

Although the disciples of the two sects had not yet openly clashed, keeping farther away from the Disciples of Intercepting Teaching meant fewer chances of conflict.

In truth, the closer people were, the more likely they were to come into conflict. Strangers, on the other hand, had no affection for one another and expected nothing from each other, so conflicts were relatively fewer.

If Western Church disciples stole an opportunity from Disciples of Intercepting Teaching, the latter would at most fight back and reclaim it. Intercepting Teaching would not blame the Western Church disciples, because they expected nothing from Western Church.

But if Chan Sect disciples stole an opportunity from Disciples of Intercepting Teaching, they would not only reclaim it, but also feel that Chan Sect had disregarded the bond of the Three Pure Ones, and would hate Chan Sect even more.

Vast and boundless, Kunlun stretched endlessly, its mountains towering high. Any one of its peaks, if moved into the heavens, could rival the stars.

As a saint's daoist temple, Kunlun Mountain had already become a divine mountain. Its spatial structure was extraordinarily complex, filled with all kinds of Small Chiliocosms, minor planes, and secret realms.

These Small Chiliocosms, minor planes, and secret realms had formed from the auspicious blessings the saints bestowed upon all living beings when they achieved sainthood. Within them lay countless rare treasures, immortal herbs, and Divine Roots. They opened to the outside world at intervals, another gift from the saints to all living beings.

Meng Chen stepped into the mountains and sensed that Kunlun Mountain was now different from before. As he flew through the range, Kunlun Mountain's Dao charm naturally entered his body and became 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 Yuanshi Tianzun's disciple, Meng Chen had also gained the recognition of the Kunlun Sacred Realm's Calamity Fate.

It was just like when he had been in the Eastern Celestial Pole.

Divine Lord Meng Zhang had once told him that heaven, earth, and people were actually one, because both heaven and earth and people had come from Pangu.

Once a cultivator possessed a Blessed Land, he would breathe with it, share its fate, and cultivate alongside it. After a cultivator attained Great Luo, he could combine his Dao fruit with the Blessed Land's origin and refine the Blessed Land into his own avatar.

At that point, even if that great power did not cultivate and simply lay around every day, his cultivation would still increase automatically. As heaven and earth grew, the Blessed Land would grow with them, 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 saints developing the Primordial Wilderness. One great power who planted Ginseng Fruit had even founded the Earth Immortal Dao based on this principle.

"Found it!"

As Meng Chen flew onward, his eyes lit up. Before him lay an endless forest.

The Eastern Celestial Pole was a kingdom of trees, filled everywhere with towering Divine Trees. Some Divine Trees had branches stretching thousands of light-years on their own.

Though the trees of the Kunlun Sacred Realm could not compare to the Divine Trees meticulously cultivated by Divine Lord Meng Zhang, naturally grown trees possessed a different kind of Dao charm.

Meng Chen plunged headlong into the forest. Immediately, he was enveloped by the forest's dense, almost tangible Dao charm. Unable to resist, he opened his mouth and inhaled, drawing surging Dao charm into his body and leaving him refreshed in body and spirit.

"Not bad. From now on, this will be my daoist temple on Kunlun Mountain."

With a flick of Meng Chen's finger, an enormous stone stele descended from the sky and landed at the entrance to the forest, plunging deeply into the earth. Four great characters were carved upon it in Innate Divine Script: Boundless Tree Sea.

He was extremely satisfied with the Boundless Tree Sea's environment. Their Azure Dragon Lineage most enjoyed establishing Daoist Temples in forests.

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

His true form was an Azure Dragon, making his perception of Innate Spiritual Roots exceptionally sharp. Even if it were merely a sapling or a single seed, he could sense it clearly.

Delight rose in Meng Chen's heart. He had never expected that simply establishing a daoist temple would bring such an unexpected harvest. A treasure like an Innate Spiritual Root was useful whether for suppressing Calamity Fate or cultivating divine abilities.

During the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, Kong Ji, the Great Elder of the Phoenix Clan, had cultivated the Innate Five-Colored Divine Light from the Innate Five-Pine Needle Tree.

After cultivating the Innate Five-Colored Divine Light, Kong Ji, unwilling to remain beneath another for long, colluded with Ancestor Qilin and launched a coup, seeking to kill Yuan Feng and replace her.

Although Kong Ji had failed, the fact that he had dared to scheme against Yuan Feng was enough to show how formidable this divine ability was.

Meng Chen carefully sensed the Innate Spiritual Root's location, then took a single step. The space beneath his feet compressed, reducing a distance of hundreds of millions of trillions of li to a single stride.

When his foot came down, he had already arrived before the Innate Spiritual Root.

It was an immature Innate Spiritual Root, only three hundred li tall. Compared to an adult Innate Spiritual Root, it was as small as an ant. Yet even at merely three hundred li in height, its trunk was covered in innate Dao marks, and every leaf carried endless profundities.

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

Unlike colorless and odorless innate spiritual energy, this spiritual energy was hazy and gray like smoke.

Meng Chen gathered a wisp and examined it carefully. Then his eyes abruptly widened.

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

Meng Chen was deeply shaken.

He considered himself broadly learned and familiar with 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 no matter which kind it was, none had the effect of increasing one's origin.

"Could this be Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy?!"

After ruling out every other possibility, Meng Chen finally reached a conclusion.

Other than Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy, which he had never seen before, he truly could not imagine what kind of spiritual energy could possess 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 enormous."

Meng Chen gazed at the surrounding immortal trees, each large enough to support a minor plane, and the doubts in his heart vanished.

The Divine Trees of the Eastern Celestial Pole were all Innate Spiritual Roots, and only with Divine Lord Meng Zhang's cultivation had they grown to such immense sizes.

Most of the trees in this Boundless Tree Sea were merely immortal trees, not Innate Spiritual Roots. Their massive growth had clearly been abnormal.

So there was an Innate Spiritual Root deep within the tree sea, endlessly supplying the surrounding trees with Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy and strengthening their origins.

At this thought, Meng Chen's gaze toward the Innate Spiritual Root became incomparably fervent.

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

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