"Does my master have many more spiritual roots like this one?
Yunzhongzi looked at Zhenyuanzi's shocked expression and spoke with a smile.
Back then, when my master established the Floating Island, there were tens of thousands of Innate Spiritual Roots and dozens of Chaos Spiritual Roots. How could his foundations be lacking?
The spiritual roots on this Floating Island were probably just the tip of the iceberg!
Zhenyuanzi was even more shaken, and his mind remained unsettled for a long time.
After all, spiritual roots were hard to find. Especially after the creation of the world, when innate things became acquired, Innate Spiritual Roots became pitifully rare, let alone Chaos Spiritual Roots.
Even if one searched the entire Great Wilderness, there probably wouldn't be more than a few. Most had vanished during the battle that accompanied the creation of the world.
Yet the Chan Sect not only possessed so many of them, Yunzhongzi's words even implied that there were more within the Chan Sect!
Was this still the Chan Sect he remembered?
With such foundations, how terrifying must the master of the Chan Sect, Primordial Lord of Heaven, be?!
At that moment, Zhenyuanzi finally understood why the Chan Sect's fortune was so flourishing.
He had thought it was merely because humanity was rising.
Now that he looked at it, he had been too narrow-minded!
His perspective had been too narrow!
It wasn't merely humanity that was flourishing. The Chan Sect itself was flourishing!
Zhenyuanzi followed behind Yunzhongzi and headed straight for the Jade Void Palace.
When he stood before the Jade Void Palace, Zhenyuanzi's mind did not calm down at all. Instead, he was even more shaken, his thoughts already surging like stormy seas.
"The Chan Sect is too powerful now!"
Zhenyuanzi's face was filled with disbelief.
Along the way, he had discovered that even the weakest disciples of the Chan Sect were almost at the Golden Immortal realm!
There were also quite a few Grand Unity Golden Immortals and Grand Luo Golden Immortals.
With such a Chan Sect, one could already say that Grand Unity Golden Immortals were everywhere and Golden Immortals were as common as dogs!
One had to know that cultivation in the Great Wilderness was difficult. Those who became Golden Immortals, gathered the Five Qi, and formed the Three Flowers were already considered powerful figures in the current Great Wilderness.
Yet these were merely ordinary disciples of the Chan Sect!!!
Although he understood that this was also related to the Chan Sect's doctrine of valuing quality over quantity, this was still far too outrageous, wasn't it?
The Interception Sect was known as Myriad Immortals Come to Court, but how many of them were Golden Immortals?
Most were merely mediocre people making up the numbers!
Needless to mention the Western Teachings. They were fundamentally incomparable to the Chan Sect!
Before he could fully recover,
he heard Yunzhongzi respectfully say, "Disciple Yunzhongzi requests an audience with Master."
His respectful voice pulled Zhenyuanzi's thoughts back to reality.
Then Zhenyuanzi also spoke respectfully. "Zhenyuanzi pays a visit to the Jade Purity Saint. I wonder if the Jade Purity Saint has some free time?"
In the past, his respect toward a Saint had merely been because of the Saint's strength.
Now, when facing Primordial Lord of Heaven, he was bowing to his foundations!
With such foundations, he truly deserved to be the foremost Saint in the Great Wilderness!
Zhenyuanzi?
Inside the Jade Void Palace, Primordial Lord of Heaven's brows twitched slightly.
He had already sensed Zhenyuanzi when he arrived at the Chan Sect.
At first, he had assumed Zhenyuanzi was merely traveling with Yunzhongzi.
After all, Yunzhongzi was the reincarnation of Hong Yun, and Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun had once been close brothers.
When Hong Yun had died, Zhenyuanzi had even caused a great disturbance in the Demon Court over the matter.
He had not expected the two of them to have come looking for him.
Although Primordial Lord of Heaven was puzzled, he still opened the gates of the Jade Void Palace with a thought.
Zhenyuanzi and Yunzhongzi respectfully entered the main hall.
"Hiss!"
When Zhenyuanzi looked up at Primordial Lord of Heaven, he could not help drawing in a sharp breath.
He could feel that the aura emanating from Primordial Lord of Heaven was extremely profound, ancient, and vast...
It was enough to make the Chaos tremble. The two of them could even sense the pressure of a Great Dao Chaos Demon God within it!
When had Primordial Lord of Heaven become so powerful?
Every movement of his resonated with the Great Dao, as though one were directly facing a Chaos Great Dao Demon God!
Even though he was a Quasi-Saint, merely standing before Primordial Lord of Heaven gave him a suffocating feeling!
"I wonder, Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, why have you come to see me today?"
Primordial Lord of Heaven looked at Zhenyuanzi and spoke slowly, his Saintly Voice resounding.
Zhenyuanzi paused, then hurriedly said, "I'm ashamed to say that I have encountered many difficulties in my cultivation recently. At Yunzhongzi's invitation, I came to seek the Jade Purity Saint."
Difficulties in cultivation?
Primordial Lord of Heaven looked at Zhenyuanzi. With a thought, he immediately learned the cause.
In later generations, Zhenyuanzi was known as the Ancestor of Earth Immortals not only because he possessed the Earth Book and could control the earth veins of the Great Wilderness, but also because he had opened up the Earth Immortal Realm.
Now, Zhenyuanzi's difficulties in cultivation were related to this as well.
Before Primordial Lord of Heaven could speak, a system notification rang out in his mind.
[ Ding! Please choose. ] [ 1. Refuse to tell Zhenyuanzi about the Earth Immortal Realm and let nature take its course. Reward: Jade Disk of Creation Fragment x1, supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Root: Immortal Apricot! ] [ 2. Tell Zhenyuanzi about the Earth Immortal Realm and help him open it. Reward: Heavenly Dao Exotic Treasure: Heaven Suppressing Pavilion, Chaos Realm Divine Ability: World Destroying Profound Light! ]
Primordial Lord of Heaven looked at the system's options.
Good heavens, both options offered extremely generous rewards!
Take the Jade Disk of Creation Fragment, for example.
One had to know that the Jade Disk of Creation contained the profundities of the Three Thousand Great Daos. It recorded the ultimate principles of the Great Dao!
Although it had been damaged by the pressure of Pangu creating the world, even a fragment was extraordinarily precious.
Look at Hongjun. He had merged with the Dao and become the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, yet he had spent his entire life pursuing the Jade Disk of Creation Fragments, wanting to restore it completely.
But he had searched the endless lands of the Great Wilderness and the boundless Chaos. Had he ever managed to restore it completely? How many fragments had he found?
Then there was the Immortal Apricot.
It was one of the ten supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Roots of the Great Wilderness.
Those who refined the Immortal Apricot could not only greatly increase their cultivation, but also control the laws of wind and thunder until they reached perfection.
Leizhenzi, whose reputation would shake the world in later generations, possessed such powerful thunderforce and even achieved sainthood through his physical body precisely because he had consumed the Immortal Apricot!
Moreover, Primordial Lord of Heaven possessed the Chaos Pearl. It might not be impossible to raise it to a Chaos Spiritual Root.
The reward from the second option was equally extraordinary: the Heavenly Dao Exotic Treasure, the Heaven Suppressing Pavilion.
It could bury the heavens, bury the earth, and bury all living beings!
It was the foremost vicious treasure of the Heavenly Dao, capable of suppressing everything in the Great Wilderness.
Most powerful of all, the Heaven Suppressing Pavilion was one of the few supreme treasures capable of dealing with Saints.
It could even draw a Saint inside, rendering the Saint's divine abilities completely useless.
If the Saint could not break out within forty-nine days, they would be permanently sealed and suppressed inside the Heaven Suppressing Pavilion.
Unless the owner of the Heaven Suppressing Pavilion released the seal!
Good heavens, it was another super treasure!
As for the other Chaos Realm Divine Ability, Primordial Lord of Heaven was stunned after glancing at the system's explanation.
The phrase "destroying heaven and earth" was an insult to this divine ability.
It did not merely destroy heaven and earth. Once the World Destroying Profound Light appeared, all things would be annihilated.
Even the order of the Great Dao could be erased. It was domineering to such an extent!
It was simply this powerful.
As for Saints... If even the Great Dao could be erased, what did Saints count for?
Looking at the two options, Primordial Lord of Heaven could not help feeling troubled.
Although the rewards from the first option were merely innate treasures, he possessed the Chaos Pearl and could complete them.
In other words, those were a potential Jade Disk of Creation and a Chaos Spiritual Root!
The reward from the second option was also terrifyingly powerful.
For a time, Primordial Lord of Heaven found himself unable to choose.
Primordial Lord of Heaven looked at Zhenyuanzi, then at the system's options.
Various calculations flashed through his mind. In the end, he took a deep breath and chose option two!
His gaze at Zhenyuanzi was complicated.
Zhenyuanzi, Zhenyuanzi, do you know how much I gave up for you?!
The Jade Disk of Creation and a Chaos Spiritual Root!
If you do not join my Chan Sect, you will have let down the choice I made today!
