A Bountiful Harvest

The Earth of Fate, shrouded in ethereal mist, is like the most sacred pure land in the world, where a rich vitality flows, nourishing the physical body and strengthening the primordial spirit.

Even though Wang Xuan's spirit body was in his flesh and blood and had not taken root in the earth, he could still feel this amazing change. His eyes were deep and he looked on with increasing anticipation!

He finally understood Old Chen's situation. Ever since Chen Yongjie used the medicinal soil, every time they met, he would tell him that he couldn't suppress it anymore and was about to break through again.

Under such abundant vitality, both the physical form and spirit are being supplied with extraordinary life substances by the life-giving soil, making it impossible for the flesh and spirit not to become powerful!

"You're excited too, can't contain yourself, wanting to take all of this back, right? Haha..." Zheng Wu laughed, his words carrying a deeper meaning, unconcerned about Wang Xuan's prying eyes.

He dug a pit and buried the silvery root of the celestial herb in the soil. His smile vanished, replaced by an ethereal aura that made him appear even more otherworldly.

"The Immortal Nectar, a legendary substance, can rapidly revive the main root and ensure vigorous growth in the future."

Zheng Wu then used a rare divine object that could cultivate celestial medicines. It was a rare specialty of the immortal realm, and most people had never even heard of it, let alone seen it.

In an instant, the ethereal mist in the earth surged and became even denser. Taking a deep breath made one feel dizzy and as if about to ascend, as a shower of light fell upon the earth.

Wang Xuan was somewhat worried that this might cause him to break through barriers continuously, leaving him no time to consolidate and comprehend those realms, thus making his foundation weak and unstable.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the main root buried in the life soil trembled slightly, continuously absorbing the surrounding misty immortal fog and Immortal Nectar, causing the surging vitality to decrease and then stabilize, reaching a state of balance.

At this moment, Wang Xuan's life soil is completely different. After a celestial herb was planted in it, it has a fresh aura and a brand new vitality.

It seems to resonate with the Mental World, drawing in wisps of Mysterious Matter that are absorbed by the roots and revitalize itself.

"Throughout history, how many people have been able to plant a celestial herb so soon after creating their own natal soil? In the Herb Gathering Realm, obtaining a celestial herb is an unimaginable stroke of luck," Zheng Wu exclaimed.

At this moment, he became emotional and said, "Even my true self has never had this experience. I longed for it but could not obtain it back then."

Since ancient times, even the most powerful individuals have found it extremely difficult to enter the Highest Grade Mental World to harvest celestial medicines; the risks are simply too great.

Behind the Great Curtain, the founder of a sect who once looked down upon the Transcendent Immortals died because of this!

Today, Zheng Wu is cultivating his demonic embryo and reshaping his foundation. With this opportunity, he naturally finds it hard to contain himself. He is overjoyed and wants to roar with joy.

"Those legendary top-tier powerhouses behind the behind the Great Curtain all have their own great opportunities; otherwise, how could they surpass the Transcendent Immortals and stand at the highest level?"

Zheng Wu whispered, and now he too has embarked on this path, and he will have a place in the peerless order!

In this age of fading myths, how can one break through the ceiling of the Carefree Journey? Only by cultivating the strongest foundation and planting celestial medicine in the soil of destiny!

"Are you alright?" Zheng Wu suddenly turned around, looking at the outside of the Life Land with a smile. His eyes were filled with brilliant runes as he caught the aura of Wang Xuan's spiritual body.

"Do you think you can still turn the tables and take everything I've nurtured?" Zheng Wu smiled, calm and confident, his Heavenly Blood resonating with Heavenly Mandate.

"Hmm?!" Wang Xuan frowned. He felt weak and sickly, like a plant with broken roots.

Zheng Wu spoke up, saying, "The Earth of Destiny Origin of All Laws, the Primordial Land, the Nourishing Life Place, and the path to transcendence begins here. Many people have read the classics, but they don't truly understand it."

"Especially you unorthodox cultivators, who have not entered the immortal realm, have not received the teachings of the Transcendent Immortals, know even less, and know what but not why."

Zheng Wu looked down at Wang Xuan outside with a cold and mocking expression. He knew that the other party was going to retaliate, but after he occupied the Life Land, would he care about such things?

"Before reaching the Great Realm of Carefree Journey, what makes you think you can let anyone intrude into your Destiny Land? Once you lose control, you'll be like a rootless duckweed, a fish out of water. I'll seal off your Destiny Land and sever that mysterious connection with you. You'll perish on your own without me even lifting a finger!"

Wang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. He had indeed taken too much of a risk this time. As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold, and often people focus on the "fortune" while easily forgetting the "risk"!

Those scriptures do mention that life and earth are of paramount importance, but he did not realize how crucial they were, that even a slight departure from them could involve a matter of life and death.

Wang Xuan activated Super Material, frantically channeling it into the Life Soil, determined to exhaust himself in order to conquer it.

At this moment, he felt extremely weak. The place where all laws originated was sealed off, and he was in grave danger. He probably wouldn't even be able to swing the God Slaying Banner with any force.

Wang Xuan reflected that if he hadn't entered the inner sanctum beforehand, hadn't been able to foresee everything, and hadn't been so well-prepared, he would most likely have really failed.

"It's no use. This is my home turf now. I won't give you a chance!" Zheng Wu said, his calm demeanor laced with ruthlessness. He was about to eliminate his host.

His Super Material silently seeped into the earth of his life, where his primordial spirit took root, leaving its mark and taking its place.

His Heavenly Blood and destiny will begin here, spreading to every part of this flesh and blood, stripping away everything that originally belonged to the other!

"Huh?" Suddenly, Zheng Wu was startled, feeling a chill run down his spine. He quickly pulled the three chains back, causing them to rotate around him. The silver ribbons, like rainbows or dragons, surrounded and protected him.

What's going on? He was intensely uneasy.

The Earth element is very mysterious; it cannot be found in flesh and blood, nor does it have a physical corresponding location in the human body, but it truly exists.

It is like a medicinal herb field, a land of life.

As Zheng Wu's Super Material entered his life soil and his primordial spirit took root downwards, his life imprint felt panic, causing his face to turn pale for the first time.

He stopped transmitting Super Material, and his primordial spirit no longer took root downwards.

However, his halt meant that Wang Xuan was launching a full-scale counterattack to reclaim the vital territory.

"No!" He tried to take the lead again, but the effect was even more terrifying.

The next moment, all he wanted to do was escape, because a deep-seated fear arose within him, as if his life was about to be in danger!

He was unwilling to give up, so he placed the Five-Colored Soil of Mount Buzhou, Zheng Yuantian's medicinal soil, Immortal Nectar, and the main root of the heavenly medicine here. Who would be willing to give it up?

But he was no ordinary man. At the critical moment, he resolutely turned around and tried to escape. He gritted his teeth and almost vomited Heavenly Blood.

However, he found that he could not leave. After his primordial spirit took root in the earth beneath his life, it was imprisoned, as if it were locked up.

At this moment, Wang Xuan established some connection with the Life Earth and frantically injected Super Material!

Buzz!

Finally, the truth was revealed: beneath the earth lay a drab, gray pool that, nourished by Super Material energy, rapidly revived and began to devour human souls!

This is the Pool of Rebirth, which, according to legend, can send souls to the afterlife. However, almost every soul swallowed by it perishes and never reappears.

After Wang Xuan had consumed most of the Super Material in the pool, he buried it in the life soil, leaving it in a dormant state.

Whether it's him or his enemy, as long as Super Material is injected into the life soil, it can be reactivated.

"How is this possible?!" Zheng Wu's pupils contracted, filled with shock and fear, his heart pounding with terror.

He came from the immortal realm behind the Great Curtain, and was knowledgeable and experienced. He had a guess at first glance, and now, feeling the power of the gray pool, he naturally guessed it as well.

He couldn't believe it. This thing was an ominous object, capable of killing its master. Almost no one who had ever obtained it had a good end; it would turn on its owner!

Who would dare place such a Great Killer Weapon in their life-sustaining soil? To approach the primordial spirit is suicidal; it would devour one alive!

But now, someone has done it, and hasn't died or been devoured.

Zheng Wu found it hard to accept; this was completely illogical.

Once activated, the Pool of Rebirth is unstoppable, killing gods and Buddhas alike, devouring any soul it sees without distinction between friend and foe.

Only the most powerful experts dare to touch it; it is a terrifying weapon that only those at that level dare to handle and wield!

The Pool of Rebirth was filled with a nebula-like radiance, as if it could swallow all the stars in the sky. In an instant, it tore off a fragment of Zheng Wu's Primordial Spirit Fragment.

He couldn't break free. His destiny Heavenly Blood contained his soul, which was absorbed into the soil of his destiny. In the end, he could only sigh and wonder if he was going to die here.

He had so much frustration and resentment, how could he have encountered the Pool of Rebirth?

At the last moment, golden light burst forth from his Heavenly Blood and Destiny, and nine characters flew out, like nine suns shining on the soil of his destiny.

Zheng Yuantian's influence is everywhere. A peerless master inscribed nine characters in Zheng Wu's primordial spirit. Unfortunately, when crossing realms, it was locked by the Old Testament, losing 99% of its power. Now, the blurry golden mark has finally been activated!

Zheng Wu struggled, using the Nine Characters to stay alive for the time being. He was determined to tear apart the life soil, not wanting to create a monster with a terrifying foundation. What he could not have, he would destroy!

Boom!

Just as he activated the silver divine chain that had broken into three pieces, preparing to pierce through the life soil, shred this place, and even destroy the main root of the Heavenly Medicine, a golden pattern intertwined, causing his primordial Divine Turtle.

Zheng Wu trembled, filled with shock and anger, and at the same time felt a sense of powerlessness.

Wearing his Primordial Spirit Armor and holding the God Slaying Banner, Wang Xuan stepped into the Life Land. Without any hesitation, he waved the small golden flag at him.

"This is..." Zheng Wu felt an indescribable sense of frustration. Today was truly unbelievable; he had seen one terrifying divine object after another.

Especially now, that tiny flag, no bigger than a palm, can actually block the Pool of Rebirth and fearlessly devour it? What is that thing? He thought of those Great Killer Weapon recorded in history books.

In an instant, he guessed that it was the lost artifact from ancient times— the God Slaying Banner.

Zheng Wu's primordial spirit was torn to pieces. At the critical moment, nine golden symbols fell and merged with his primordial spirit, trying to save him from death.

This was in vain. The mark inscribed by the peerless expert had already faded behind the behind the Great Curtain, unable to stop the spread of the golden patterns of the God Slaying Banner, instantly turning Zheng Wu's primordial spirit into hundreds of small fragments.

"Hmm?!" Wang Xuan's mind stirred, and he slightly stopped the God Slaying Banner. The hundreds of Primordial Spirit Fragment did not explode and remained in their original state for the time being.

He walked forward, his Spiritual Heavenly Eye fixed on these Primordial Spirit Fragment, as if he were reading one scripture after another, or one cultivation manual after another!

Zheng Wu's primordial spirit has been dismembered by him and is now neither born nor dies, existing in a special state.

Wang Xuan examined his memories and reviewed his past. He ignored all trivial matters and useless Primordial Spirit Fragment, focusing instead on things related to cultivation.

In an instant, the entire land of destiny was at peace, shrouded in ethereal mist, becoming incomparably sacred.

The Pool of Rebirth tried several times but failed to devour the fragments of Wang Xuan and Zheng Wu's Primordial Spirit Fragment. Blocked by the God Slaying Banner, it fell into complete silence.

He didn't know how much time had passed; within the Earth of Fate, it felt like several years had rushed by, mainly because Wang Xuan's mental and emotional activity was too intense.

After reading it, Wang Xuan felt as if he had walked through Zheng Wu's cultivation journey, an experience that was invaluable!

Regarding cultivation, those Primordial Spirit Fragment were like countless twinkling stars, which Wang Xuan analyzed and silently memorized.

Among them are the "Yuantian Scripture" and "Xian Tai", which are extremely precious and belong to the Immortal Dao Supreme Skill. The "Yuantian Scripture" is the scripture of the peerless expert Zheng Yuantian.

The origin of the "Immortal Embryo" is even more ancient and unverifiable. It is also known as the "Demon Embryo". Judging from the evaluation of the Transcendent Immortals, its power is no less than that of the Supreme Scriptures.

It was deemed too malevolent and criticized, considered flawed, and believed that those who practiced it would eventually suffer divine retribution. Therefore, it was not classified as Supreme Scripture Fragment.

The scriptures are nothing compared to the fact that Wang Xuan himself possesses Supreme Scriptures and has no shortage of classical texts.

What's truly valuable are the experiences and insights gained from cultivation. Some renowned experts have taught Zheng Wu, and these are all based on their experience. There are even handwritten notes from Zheng Yuantian.

"This is a priceless treasure; I will verify it slowly in the future!" Wang Xuan felt that this had a profound impact on his cultivation and was more precious than anything else.

By taking the path of the enemy, one can come into contact with the true world of Transcendent Immortals and learn about the various secrets and truths of cultivation. There is no better experience than this!

"Wang Xuan!" At the last moment, Zheng Wu awoke, and hundreds of Primordial Spirit Fragment resonated. He was furious; his prey had turned around and hunted him instead.

This was the host to whom he entrusted his Heavenly Blood and Mandate, the flesh and blood soil from which he reshaped his demonic embryo. But now the tables have turned. The other party observed his primordial spirit imprint, gained his fortune, and turned him into a prisoner.

With his extraordinary talent, did he have to die such a pathetic death? In the world behind the Great Curtain, he was a genius who was the focus of millions of eyes, but when he came to the mortal world, he ended up like this.

"Wang..." Zheng Wu opened his mouth and uttered a single word.

As a result, golden patterns intertwined, and Wang Xuan waved the God Slaying Banner, not giving him a chance to speak. Since he had obtained everything, then let him go with regrets.

Puff!

As the golden flag swept by, Zheng Wu's hundreds of Primordial Spirit Fragment, as well as the nine dim and extinguished characters inscribed by Zheng Yuantian, were instantly shattered and turned into dust.
