This Innate Spring Eye was different from other Innate Spring Eyes. Ordinary Innate Spring Eyes could produce Innate Spiritual Qi only after Chaos Qi had been infused into them.

But this Innate Spring Eye could produce Innate Chaos Spiritual Qi.

"Eldest Brother!"

"This is..."

Watching this scene, Daoist Zhunti widened his eyes again, revealing a trace of disbelief.

"I obtained this Innate Spring Eye on an immortal island in the East Sea."

At that, Daoist Zhunti fell silent. He could tell that it was an Innate Spring Eye.

But the problem was that the Innate Spiritual Qi it produced held a profound mystery, containing a trace of true Chaos intent. This was no ordinary Innate Spring Eye!

"Could that immortal island have been one of the Three Immortal Islands?"

Ye Xuan nodded, then waved his hand. Countless Acquired Spiritual Roots and Innate Spiritual Roots entered the Pure Land of Spiritual Mountain. They had all been obtained from Mount Fangzhang.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan looked pleased.

"Good!"

After Daoist Zhunti repaired the Innate Spiritual Vein, the Pure Land could already produce Innate Spiritual Qi on its own. Now, with an Innate Spring Eye as well, it could produce endless Innate Chaos Spiritual Qi.

In the Primordial World, this place could be called one of the Supreme Dao Fields. Only the Thirty-Three Heavens and Kunlun Mountain produced Innate Spiritual Qi that could rival it.

And once some time had passed and the Innate Spiritual Qi grew more abundant, the Pure Land of Spiritual Mountain would surely be number one!

Innate Chaos Spiritual Qi could only be produced in Spirit Mountain.

Nearby, Daoist Zhunti learned that Ye Xuan had visited Mount Fangzhang and couldn't help but feel amazed. His Eldest Brother's fortune was extraordinary. In his eyes, even Laozi and the others, despite being among Pangu's Primordial Spirits, might not measure up to his Eldest Brother.

With everything arranged, Ye Xuan joined Daoist Zhunti in secluded cultivation and began discussing the Dao with him. Although Daoist Zhunti had only reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, he had gained some insight into the Path of Three Corpses from the Dao Ancestor.

Three thousand years later, Ye Xuan looked thoughtful. Stones from other mountains could be used to polish jade. Though the method was incomplete, it still had something worth learning. He immediately explained the Path of Becoming a Sage through Three Corpses and the Method of Becoming a Sage in Dreams. It was another ten thousand years before the Sound of the Great Dao finally ceased from Ye Xuan's lips.

Seeing Ye Xuan stop, Daoist Zhunti couldn't help but look shaken.

"Once your method of becoming a sage is mastered, Eldest Brother, it will surpass even Becoming a Sage through Three Corpses!"

Ye Xuan had already told him about a method of becoming a sage, but only after truly grasping it did Zhunti understand how profound this Supreme Dharma Gate was. It surpassed even Becoming a Sage through Three Corpses. Now Daoist Zhunti understood why Ye Xuan was so confident that no one could defeat him, even without an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

The Three Thousand Heavens were themselves a method of becoming a sage, producing a Supreme Dao Fruit. But after Ye Xuan had worked his power through them, they could also be regarded as a Powerful Innate Spiritual Treasure—or a mighty divine ability.

Once unleashed, they could suppress even someone in the Quasi-Saint realm in a single breath.

After three thousand years, Daoist Zhunti's understanding of the Path of Three Corpses had advanced considerably. He took his leave and returned to secluded cultivation.

After Zhunti entered seclusion, Ye Xuan did not idle either. He also began cultivating in seclusion.

Over the next Yuanhui, Ye Xuan planned to incorporate the Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method and the Method of Nascent Soul Becoming a Saint into his own Dao.

Once he fully integrated them, no one at the same cultivation level could defeat him—not even the Dao Ancestor.

However, all three were Supreme Saint Methods, among the most powerful paths to sainthood. How immense a challenge it was to integrate even one Supreme Saint Method!

In the blink of an eye, another ten thousand years passed. During that time, the great Innate God-Demons of the Primordial World had all made breakthroughs. Ancestor Minghe, Zhenyuanzi, Laozi, Emperor Taiyi, and others had used Innate Spiritual Treasures to sever their Good Corpses and enter the Quasi-Saint realm.

But after ten thousand years, Ye Xuan still had no idea how to fuse the Three Supreme Dharma Gates.

As for severing the Second Corpse and entrusting it with the Evil Corpse, he had yet to grasp that, either.

He had even failed to understand the Jade Plate Fragment in his possession. Ye Xuan shook his head and gave up. It seemed far too difficult to perfect the method while in the Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage. As he pondered, another Electronic Sound rang in his ear.

[ Ding! ]

[The Witch Clan has emerged beneath Mount Buzhou. The Twelve Ancestral Witches and the others have also reached the Quasi-Saint realm in physical strength. They plan to worship Pangu beneath Mount Buzhou, establish the Witch Clan, and rule the boundless earth. Host, please choose one of the following.]

[Choice One: Stop the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the others from establishing the Witch Clan. Complete the task to obtain a drop of Pangu's Essence Blood!]

[Choice Two: Do nothing and let events unfold. Complete the task to obtain a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, the Ancient Enlightenment Tea Tree!]

While cultivating in seclusion, Ye Xuan heard another Electronic Sound ring in his ear.

At that, Ye Xuan opened his eyes and considered the matter.

"The Twelve Ancestral Witches are establishing the Witch Clan?"

Ye Xuan thought it over, then decided not to interfere. Pangu Blood was a Supreme Wonder, but he couldn't obtain it anyway. If he went to stop them, the Twelve Ancestral Witches might not believe he was there to save their lives. They might even attack him instead.

In Ye Xuan's eyes, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were already as good as dead, just like the Demon Emperor and the others. Why bother?

"Choose the second option. Do nothing."

Looking at the light screen, Ye Xuan made his choice.

[ Ding! ]

[The host has chosen to do nothing and let the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the others establish the Witch Clan. The Innate Spiritual Root, the Enlightenment Tea Tree, is now being delivered. Please check it yourself.]

After Ye Xuan made his choice, another Electronic Sound rang in his ear.

The next moment, divine light blazed in the Endless Void, and a gigantic, towering ancient tree appeared directly in Ye Xuan's hands.

It stood nine zhang and nine cun tall. Its bark was deeply cracked, like dragon scales, and its shape resembled a coiling horned dragon. Every leaf was crystalline and lifelike, covered in Great Dao Runes and images of countless Innate Divine Beasts. Each leaf was unique, shimmering with a dreamlike radiance!

It produced only one hundred and eight leaves every Yuanhui.

The foremost Innate Spiritual Root beneath the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots—the Ancient Enlightenment Tea Tree!

It had no offensive power, nor any other special abilities.

Its sole use was to improve one's comprehension. An ordinary person might glimpse a flash of insight only once in ten thousand years while studying the Great Dao's profound mysteries. But after brewing its leaves into tea, flashes of inspiration would come one after another, allowing them to comprehend the Great Dao sooner.

And if one meditated on the Great Dao beneath the tree, it could fill the Primordial Spirit with boundless Wisdom Light and bring about a state of sudden enlightenment.

"This Innate Spiritual Root has arrived at just the right time. I was just lacking a treasure to aid my enlightenment!"

Ye Xuan had a Jade Plate Fragment in his possession, but it was only a fragment. The Dao Ancestor held most of it.

Now that he had the Enlightenment Tea Tree, perhaps Ye Xuan could integrate the Three Supreme Dharma Gates!

At the thought, a glint appeared in Ye Xuan's eyes, and he returned to secluded cultivation.
