Establishing the Enlightenment World Tree, All Paths Originate From Me

"Twenty years have passed, and every table and chair at Dao-Seeking Courtyard is still exactly the same as before," Luo Wentian remarked.

His words, however, were filled with boundless joy.

Things have changed, but people are no longer the same.

Fortunately, the people are still there, only their status and strength have changed. The former fellow disciples have become senior teachers and elders, and are no longer as ignorant as before.

Twenty years have passed, and even the youngest, Li Ling, has already reached the Purple Mansion Realm and has taken on disciples a few years ago.

Luo Nianchu, formerly a disciple of Luo Wentian, has become a leading figure among the new generation of the True Martial.

certainly.

This is assuming Yuan Tiansheng is not included.

He had already reached the Purple Mansion Realm, and his strength was enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhuang Chen, at the top of the True Martial. He could even completely transform into human form, but he had not taken that step yet, because he wanted to wait for Ning Qi to come out of seclusion and ask for his opinion.

The little White Ape scratched its head, then honestly moved tables and chairs for its uncles and senior brothers, and skillfully climbed trees to pick tea leaves and brew enlightenment tea.

He was extremely excited, scratching his head and cheeks.

Twenty years ago, Ning Qi finally accepted him as a disciple. He hadn't seen his master for so long, and hadn't been at Dao-Seeking Courtyard for so long. His longing for him was the strongest. Now that Ning Qi had emerged from seclusion, he was so happy that he wanted to do a few somersaults.

Everyone smiled.

"I've drunk plenty of Enlightenment Tea over the past twenty years, but I always felt something was missing. Now I realize it's because I didn't drink the tea in the Dao-Seeking Courtyard." Xiong Shi laughed heartily. He was still in charge of the Immortal Sect's punishments, and he was usually stern and serious, becoming increasingly somber, but today he was laughing repeatedly.

Qin Yun sighed:

"My second senior brother is smiling more today than he has in the past three years!"

A warm feeling welled up in Ning Qi's heart.

Upon seeing those familiar faces again, he felt the slight indifference he had developed during his twenty years of seclusion vanish in an instant.

He listened to his fellow disciples laughing and chatting, recounting the changes in the immortal sect and the martial arts world, watching them play around as before.

The courtyard was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.

Peach blossoms are in full bloom outside the courtyard.

This scene brought Ning Qi a sense of inner peace.

The fellow disciples gathered for three days and three nights.

There was still a lingering sense of wanting more.

They cherished this opportunity, knowing that Ning Qi would likely spend many more years in seclusion, and if they couldn't keep up with Ning Qi pace, their chances of getting together would become increasingly rare.

"I wonder when the next True Martial Peach Gathering," Jiang Baishan sighed.

The lively atmosphere suddenly froze.

Everyone felt a pang of sadness.

Twenty years ago, before Ning Qi went into seclusion, he did not seal off the Dao-Seeking Courtyard. Everyone could come and go freely, but many of his fellow disciples tacitly did not come. The Dao-Seeking Courtyard was not the key point; what mattered was that everyone was present.

Jiang Baishan chuckled awkwardly, but Ning Qi laughed and said:

"Why bother? In the future, we will all attain immortality and have endless time. There's no need to be confined to this present moment."

Everyone just smiled.

They never doubted Ning Qi's potential, but even Zhuang Chen, who had the greatest talent, knew that it would be quite good if he could reach the Primordial Spirit Realm or the Body Integration Realm in the future. As for immortality, that was easier said than done.

Ning Qi slowly stood up and looked at the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

This tree was cultivated by him with great effort. After several transformations, it can be regarded as one of the most outstanding foundations of the True Martial Immortal Sect. Now it is lush and green, and is no longer more than ninety-nine feet tall. Its layers of branches and leaves exude the Dao Resonance, making it much more precious than any Enlightenment Tea Tree recorded in the True Martial.

The crowd was puzzled.

All that could be heard was Ning Qi's gaze seemingly piercing through time and space, his voice soft yet possessing immense power:

"I wish to establish the Enlightenment Boundary Tree, using the Enlightenment Tea Tree as its foundation."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Thunder roared from the heavens above, as if in response.

This moment.

All the martial arts practitioners instinctively stopped what they were doing. They looked up at the sky with surprise in their eyes, followed by reverence.

Dao-Seeking Courtyard, all the fellow disciples looked at Ning Qi in shock.

Ning Qi's robes fluttered in the breeze, exuding an air of extraordinary elegance.

Wherever his gaze fell, the Enlightenment Tea Tree was bursting with a radiant green light, which was growing stronger and stronger, and its rich vitality was gradually covering the entire True Martial.

As the disciples of the Immortal Sect looked toward True Martial Peak, they saw a towering spiritual tree shimmering with light, and vaguely could be seen a figure that did not belong to the mortal world standing above it, as if the heavens and earth were tilting.

That name popped into the minds of almost all the disciples.

"Lord of the Realm!"

The immortal sect was in an uproar, with countless eyes filled with reverence.

Ning Qi smiled as he looked at his fellow disciples who were dumbfounded:

"I'll be right back."

He stood with his hands behind his back, heading towards the heavens. Beneath him, the enormous Enlightenment Tea Tree was also uprooted and ascended to the sky with him.

All eyes were on them.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree has a vigorous and well-developed root system. Although it is not nourished by spiritual soil, it shows no signs of withering. On the contrary, it is even more vibrant.

I don't know when.

Ning Qi was already sitting cross-legged on the treetop.

Many disciples of the Immortal Sect were unaware of Ning Qi's purpose, only expressing genuine amazement and anticipation. Luo Wentian and the others trembled slightly, Ning Qi's brief words had sparked various speculations within them, and now, it was about to come true before their very eyes.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree carried Ning Qi toward the heavens.

With a thought, Ning Qi summoned a vast amount of spiritual energy and surging world power, which poured onto the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

In an instant.

The mutation begins.

Boom!

A booming sound followed.

The already enormous Enlightenment Tea Tree began to grow at an astonishing rate!

A thousand feet!

Three thousand feet!

Lofty!

With leaves like giant rocks and roots like writhing dragons, the Wudao Tea Tree resembles an ancient mountain, incredibly massive, and growing at an astonishing rate every moment.

The disciples of the Immortal Sect were all horrified.

Even though the Enlightenment Tea Tree was getting farther and farther away from the Immortal Sect's location, it became clearer and clearer.

A vibrant blue light, brimming with boundless vitality, illuminates the world.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree resembled a great blue sun, hanging high in the void.

This moment.

All beings in the True Martial Realm were shocked. They saw the azure sun that appeared out of nowhere high in the sky and felt awe. Combined with the previous booming sound, they couldn't help but bow down in worship.

One by one, the powerful cultivators opened their eyes.

True Person of the Purple Mansion Realm and cultivators of the Law Power Realm all surged into the sky. With their exceptional eyesight, they had already discerned that the so-called azure sun was actually a vast and boundless giant tree, emanating a rich vitality that cleansed the world.

Every gaze was filled with shock.

Zhenxuan Mountain and Bai Shan True Person looked up at the sky in shock:

"Wow! This kid Ning, he just showed up like that, and with such a big move?"

He recognized it; the giant tree was clearly the Enlightenment Tea Tree from the Dao-Seeking Courtyard, but now it had inexplicably transformed into such a magnificent form.

The boundless power of the Origin converges, and Spiritual Qi transforms into tides.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree underwent an unprecedented qualitative change. The results of Ning Qi's twenty years of seclusion all lie in this. Various profound methods nourished its body, allowing the Enlightenment Tree to further transform and grow every moment.

I don't know when.

That azure sun had long since overshadowed all other light in the world, becoming the only one of its kind.

The giant tree reached for the sky, almost completely filling the entire void.

At this point...

Even ordinary beings can see the true form of the azure sun.

The dense root system resembled a coiled dragon, taking root in the void. Each leaf was like a mountain, and the body was like a pillar of heaven. Every line and groove exuded the Dao Resonance, and cultivators eagerly sought to comprehend the profound principles contained within.

Abundant vitality filled the space between heaven and earth, and a soft blue light illuminated the world, making people feel physically and mentally refreshed. Such a scene was destined to be engraved in everyone's mind.

"Lord of the Realm!"

Countless living beings worship.

Who else but the Realm Lord could have such a grand gesture? Although the purpose of the Realm Lord's actions is unknown, all beings chant his name and offer their reverence.

Ning Qi sat upright atop the giant tree and slowly opened his eyes.

There was a hint of relief in his eyes.

For the past twenty years, he has been pondering a question: how to gather the wisdom of all living beings.

He considered many methods, such as engraving a great array in the world, using the wishes of all living beings as a foundation, or creating a profound primordial technique to control everything, but none of them were entirely satisfactory.

One day.

He rarely dreams.

I was inspired by a towering, divine tree whose single leaf seemed to encompass the entire world.

He eventually created the method he has today, which he calls "The Source of All Paths is My Method," and its important carrier is the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

The first step is to transform the Enlightenment Tea Tree into the Enlightenment Boundary Tree.

Ning Qi originally wanted to call it the World Tree, but there was a great taboo in the the Unseen, so he finally called it the Enlightenment World Tree.

now.

The Boundary Tree has been formed and is omnipresent, almost occupying the entire True Martial. Its clear sense of oppression makes countless living beings awe and suffocate. In places unseen by all living beings, the Boundary Tree communicates with the Spiritual Qi of the Boundary Sea, drawing in Spiritual Qi from outside the world. This efficiency is much higher than before.

However, purifying Spiritual Qi is not that quick.

Ning Qi slowly stood up.

The surging power of the realm coalesced, transforming into an invisible sword.

Ning Qi swung his sword and cut himself in two. His face was slightly pale, and then a large ball of light flew out from his body. It was a part of his thoughts and soul, and it contained the light of his enlightenment.

He smiled slightly and slowly pressed the ball of light into the Enlightenment Tree.

This will become the will of the Boundary Tree, orderly guiding all living beings.

In an instant.

An endless burst of blue light erupted, then subsided in an instant.

The already vast and boundless Boundary Tree grew even more rapidly, undergoing an incredible transformation. The beings of the martial world were horrified to see its dragon-like roots stretching towards the earth, as if it wanted to truly take root in the world.

Hundreds of millions of living beings were filled with tension, for they had no power to resist such a divine tree.

Fortunately.

Further changes occurred.

The majestic divine tree gradually became invisible. All living beings clearly saw the giant tree taking root, but they could not touch it. Even the True Person of the Purple Mansion Realm could not do so. It was as if the World Tree had completely merged with the world, becoming one with it, omnipresent yet nowhere to be seen.

They looked again, but under the clear blue sky, the towering tree was nowhere to be seen.

But the world has already undergone some changes that they cannot perceive.

The crowd was astonished.

Then a powerful and resounding Daoist chant resonated in the minds of every living being:

"Today, I hereby establish the Enlightenment Tree. From this day forward, all beings in the True Martial may draw upon the power of this tree to attain enlightenment and cultivate themselves."

Words become law.

Heavenly Thunder.

All beings felt that a previously obscure connection suddenly became clear, and they immediately sensed a colossal entity situated in the world—what else could it be but the divine tree they had seen before?

But at this moment.

They, however, clearly sensed the wondrous uses of the Enlightenment Tree.

They discovered that as long as they calmly sensed the location of the Boundary Tree and established a connection, they could gain a magical power that would make their thinking sharper, their comprehension greatly enhanced, and many of their everyday problems easily solved.

The cultivators erupted in cheers.

This state is practically divine assistance, no less effective than constantly consuming those elixirs that enhance comprehension, and perhaps even more so.

and.

When they used their profound techniques to refine the Spiritual Qi, they discovered that the speed was much, much faster than before.

Compared to before, the difficulty of cultivation has decreased by more than tenfold.

Countless living beings were moved and worshipped, for this was an immeasurable act of merit.

The Enlightenment Tree is powerful enough to allow all beings in the True Martial Realm to reach heights that were previously impossible to attain.

All beings bowed and knelt in worship:

We express our deepest gratitude to the Lord of the Realm!

They were thrilled and couldn't wait to experience it for themselves.

Ning Qi stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the world with an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

He smiled slightly, then burst into laughter.

Once the Enlightenment Tree is completed, it will lay the foundation for his supreme Dao. This is a great act of merit for all beings in the True Martial, but it also has unparalleled benefits for Ning Qi.

"To some extent, the Enlightenment Tree is a vast 'network' covering the True Martial. All beings can use this 'network' to cultivate with my enlightenment and gain amplification. The reward is their cultivation results. Any ingenious ideas and insights gained from cultivation will be fed back to the Tree and transformed into resources for my growth."

"The power of one person is finite, but the power of all living beings is immense."

"This is the source of all paths!"

"This is truly the culmination of the wisdom of all living beings! It allows me to unleash my extraordinary comprehension to the fullest extent!"

"In addition, the Enlightenment Tree is integrated with the cultivation of the world. From now on, it can absorb and release the spiritual Spiritual Qi of the Boundary Sea to the maximum extent at all times, thus strengthening the world. Cultivators' cultivation is bound to the Boundary Tree, and they will also directly refine the Spiritual Qi outside the Boundary Sea."

"In the future, the True Martial will be able to accommodate far more cultivators than other worlds. Moreover, the more cultivators there are, the faster the True Martial will grow, which in turn will allow it to accommodate even more cultivators, creating a positive cycle."

"That would be perfect, a win-win situation!"

Of course, the only drawback for the martial arts world is that by borrowing the power of the Enlightenment Tree, they will have no privacy in their cultivation and will be at Ning Qi's disposal. However, there are gains and losses, and it all depends on themselves. Ning Qi will not force them. Whether they are willing to communicate with the Enlightenment Tree is in their own hands.

However, it's estimated that very few people would be willing to do so.

In the near future, the True Martial might even develop a cultivation system based on the Enlightenment Tree; the ingenuity of intelligent beings should never be underestimated.

Ning Qi became increasingly satisfied with his work.

The Enlightenment Tree perfectly solved the two problems he had been pondering.

After that, he only needs to wait quietly, and when the time comes, he will naturally reach the limit of the world and step into the Perfection realm of the world master.

The joy of all beings cultivating themselves for me is something that cannot be explained to outsiders.
