Earth Immortal Dao Fruit

Styx acted as soon as the thought came to him. Seated cross-legged atop the Karma Red Lotus, he carefully sorted through his cultivation, then summoned the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and began tempering his body.

Time flowed on; Years sped by like a shuttle. Another Eon passed, and Styx's body, Primordial Spirit, and Mana had all reached their current peaks.

Styx then prepared to break through to the Dao Fruit Realm. Through continual attempts and insights, he finally found a method for condensing a Dao Fruit. By merging his essence, qi, and spirit into one, he ultimately condensed an illusory Dao Fruit.

The moment Styx condensed his Dao Fruit, he immediately sensed the difference in this realm. At that instant, he felt as though he had become complete—as if his former self had been incomplete, and only with the emergence of the Dao Fruit had the missing piece finally been filled, making him whole as one.

"Primordial Chaos, Primordial Chaos! Perhaps this is why it is called the Path of Primordial Chaos. Through unceasing cultivation, one makes up for one's own flaws and attains completeness. In the end, one becomes Primordial Chaos as one—at that point, one may well reach the realm of Primordial Golden Immortal!" Styx suddenly sank into enlightenment.

When Styx awoke from his enlightenment and examined himself again, he discovered that this sudden insight had sent his realm soaring forward, bringing him to Mid True Immortal. Even his cultivation had been completely stabilized by this enlightenment, his Earth Immortal Dao Fruit dazzlingly radiant.

He could break through to Heavenly Immortal at any time without fearing the slightest mishap. Styx did not waste words or time; he directly sat cross-legged, circulated his Mana, and began advancing toward Early Heavenly Immortal.

Time flowed on, ceaselessly passing. As Styx broke through to Early Heavenly Immortal, the era had also reached the final three Eons of the Third Great Tribulation!

After becoming a Heavenly Immortal, Styx began reviewing his own cultivation. Earth Immortals, as the name implied, were immortals upon the Great Earth. This realm strengthened one's affinity with the earth. As the saying went: "Earth's position is receptive; thus the noble man carries all things with abundant virtue." That was precisely it. Earth Immortal cultivation was the process of laying a foundation; only once the foundation was firmly set could one's cultivation soar into the skies and achieve Heavenly Immortal. After becoming a Heavenly Immortal, one could freely soar through the heavens and effortlessly gather the drifting spiritual qi in the sky!

As for True Immortals, although Styx's realm had already reached that stage and only his cultivation was somewhat lacking, he had gained a faint insight. So-called cultivating the true was a process of refining the false into the true. Upon reaching True Immortal, every method one wielded would undergo entirely new transformations! Yet since his cultivation had not caught up, he had no way to verify his insights for the time being.

After breaking through to Heavenly Immortal, Styx did not continue cultivating. He could sense that his cultivation had reached the limit permitted by the current Heaven and Earth; further cultivation would bring no progress.

Thus, Styx turned to tempering his body instead. Since his body had already reached Peak Earth Immortal when he broke through to the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit, and since Pangu bloodline was innately aligned with the path of the body, Styx easily pushed his body to Mid Heavenly Immortal. By then, time had only reached the third Eon of the Fourth Great Tribulation.

Styx then tried to advance his cultivation as well, hoping to raise it to Mid Heavenly Immortal. But after trying, he found that he could not break through. The suppression of Heaven and Earth still firmly restrained the advancement of his cultivation!

Styx did not care much. Since he could not break through, so be it. He left behind a thread of his mind to circulate his Mana and quietly accumulate power. Once he could break through, it would naturally happen as water flowed into a channel!

Styx then began studying the space he occupied. This space was separated from the Nether Blood Sea outside by a formation. While refining the abundant Blood Qi outside to fill the inner space, it also filtered out the Grievance Qi, Sha Qi, and evil qi within the blood sea to the greatest possible extent.

Within the Formation Space, apart from Styx himself, there still grew spiritual treasures unique to the blood sea. Among them were two high-grade Innate Spiritual Roots, belonging respectively to Yin and Yang. They were precisely the two formation eyes of the Blood Sea Creation Array: one was called the Blood God Fruit Tree, stationed at the Yang Eye of Creation; the other was called the Ghost Soul Treasure Tree, stationed at the Yin Eye of Blood Fiend.

Together, the two suppressed the formation eyes of the Blood Sea Creation Array. The roots of the Blood God Fruit Tree continuously absorbed the filthy Blood Qi and Sha Qi within the formation, transforming them into nourishment it required. The fruits it bore were Blood God Fruits. It flowered once every Ten Thousand Years and bore fruit once every Ten Thousand Years, producing only 365 fruits each time. They could restore one's bloodline, enhance Blood Qi, condense the bloodline, and raise the power of the bloodline. They were great tonics for Body Tempering!

The roots of the Ghost Soul Treasure Tree, meanwhile, continuously absorbed the Grievance Qi within the formation, along with wisps of shattered Grievous Soul qi that fell into the blood sea, transforming them into nourishment it required. The fruits it bore were called Ghost Soul Fruits. They likewise flowered once every Ten Thousand Years and bore fruit once every Ten Thousand Years, producing 365 fruits each time. They could restore the Primordial Spirit, refine one's Primordial Spirit, and elevate the realm of the Primordial Spirit. They were supreme treasures of the Primordial Spirit path!

These two treasure trees represented the two sides of Yin and Yang. Their effects were largely similar, except one acted upon the body while the other acted upon the Primordial Spirit. Moreover, the fruits currently hanging from both trees were all from the first batch, and they had accumulated medicinal potency upon the trees for several Great Tribulations! Too much was as bad as too little—if they continued accumulating like this, the fruits would likely fall off on their own!

Styx did not stand on ceremony. He picked the fruits, swallowed one of each kind, carefully stored away the rest, and then sat cross-legged to absorb their medicinal potency...
