Innate Five Elements Grand Formation! Harvesting the Five Needle Pine!

Di Tian had been doubting himself, but upon hearing Wang Shu's cry of surprise, he immediately looked in the direction she indicated.

Upon an island no more than a thousand zhang across, five-colored glimmers illuminated heaven and earth, while Mixed Origin qi wound through time and space.

It seemed to exist between reality and the void. Without observing it from up close, one simply could not discover its location.

"Fellow Daoist Wang Shu, you truly are a lucky star!"

Delight shone in Di Tian's eyes as he lightly patted Wang Shu's shoulder several times.

Then, he took her across layer upon layer of spatial barriers in an instant, arriving before the Innate Five Elements Primordial Grand Array.

Only after arriving before the grand array did the two of them finally see clearly.

The treasure hidden within was a gigantic pine tree that soared into the clouds. Even its smallest branches were a hundred zhang long. Its entire body was shrouded in five-colored divine radiance, its leaves sharp as needles and its fruits like pinecones, constantly enduring the cleansing of the Five Elements!

"This is the Top Grade Innate Spiritual Root that symbolizes the Five Elements of heaven and earth—the Five Needle Pine!"

At first sight of the enormous pine tree, they recognized its origins.

The Five Needle Pine was one of the ten greatest Top Grade Innate Spiritual Roots in the Primordial Wilderness.

Legend had it that the Innate Five Needle Pine bore pine nuts. These nuts changed once every five thousand years, and required three changes to fully mature—a total of fifteen thousand years.

Moreover, due to their innate source characteristics, the pine nuts were divided into the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

It could bear ten of each type at a time, producing fifty fruits in total.

Within every pine nut was a thread of the corresponding Innate Five Elements Source.

If a cultivator ate one pine nut of each of the five attributes, it could help them gather the Five Elements Qi within their chest.

If they ate a hundred pine nuts of each attribute, those with profound fortune might even be able to alter their fate.

Their physique could transform into an Innate Five Elements Spiritual Body, granting them limitless potential to wield the Dao of the Five Elements of heaven and earth.

Furthermore, as a Top Grade Innate Spiritual Root possessing all five elements, cultivating beneath the Innate Five Needle Pine would not only greatly improve one's absorption of Five Elements spiritual qi, but also enhance one's ability to comprehend the Five Elements Law.

It could be called a supreme treasure that every cultivator in the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm wished to claim for themselves!

"Fellow Daoist Di Tian, the pine nuts borne by this Innate Five Needle Pine are currently undergoing their third transformation. We need not wait and can eat them immediately."

"This has truly saved us a great deal of time."

Wang Shu looked at the state of the pine nuts on the Five Needle Pine, and ecstatic delight immediately filled her eyes.

"Indeed."

"With these pine nuts in hand, we should soon be able to step into the realm of Great Luo Perfection."

It was not really that Di Tian and Wang Shu had arrived at just the right time. Rather, unlike other Innate Spiritual Roots, the Five Needle Pine's fruits would not fall on their own and turn into nourishment to be reabsorbed by the tree if left unpicked for a certain period.

Instead, they remained hanging from the branches, absorbing the Five Elements Qi of heaven and earth and nourishing the Five Needle Pine in return.

While continuously strengthening its source, they also increased the Innate Five Elements Source contained within themselves.

This meant that the longer the pine nuts hung on the tree, the more Innate Five Elements Source they contained.

Of course, infinite growth was unlikely. Heaven and earth would not permit such a heaven-defying existence.

But it was still possible for one pine nut to grant enlightenment into its corresponding Law and deepen one's comprehension of that Law, while consuming all five kinds could directly forge an Innate Five Elements Spiritual Body.

"Fellow Daoist Di Tian, to avoid unforeseen complications, we should break the formation as soon as possible and take the Five Needle Pine."

"Of course."

Wang Shu's reminder was exactly what he had been thinking.

Although the North Sea was vast and boundless, with few living beings, that did not mean no powerful experts lived there.

What if some Hiding Path cultivator who had hidden here since the beginning of creation happened to wander into this place, or sensed the disturbance from their breaking of the formation?

That would truly be a disaster falling from the sky—losing both the lady and the army.

"Fellow Daoist Di Tian, this array formation connects to the Five Elements of heaven and earth and links the surrounding time and space."

"If we wish to enter it, we must strike the crucial nodes responsible for drawing in the Five Elements of heaven and earth with overwhelming force in an instant. Only then can we throw it into disorder and open a passage inside."

Because Wang Shu often observed the Star Protecting Grand Formations of the Taiyin Star and the Ziwei Emperor Star, she had considerable insight into Array Formation Dao.

After observing the formation for less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, she had already devised a way to break it. Using the Moon Laurel Sword, she marked the locations of the five crucial nodes for Di Tian.

"These five crucial nodes will shift with the passage of time."

"If we do not destroy them quickly, they may soon vanish and relocate elsewhere."

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist. Leave it to me."

With the targets already so clear, if Di Tian still could not break the grand formation,

then he might as well return to the Ziwei Star, pack up, retire into seclusion, and farm.

"Infinite Destruction Thousand Transformations!"

The Hongmeng Measuring Ruler emerged. As the Destruction Law reflected across the heavens and descended slowly,

phantoms of infinite time and space split apart, then rapidly converged into five figures. Carrying the might to destroy time and space and the sharpness to shatter all things, they crashed heavily into the five crucial nodes!

In an instant, heaven and earth trembled. The Five Elements connection shattered at once, and the grand formation abruptly ceased operating, completely exposing the Five Needle Pine before Di Tian and Wang Shu.

"Mountains and Rivers State Diagram—Collect!"

As a map of the Primordial Wilderness inscribed with all phenomena of the Primordial Wilderness, the Four Seas and Eight Desolations, and every terrain between heaven and earth,

it was not only a symbol of heaven, earth, and humanity, but also contained within it a miniature Primordial World.

It was truly the finest place beneath heaven and earth for nurturing Innate Spiritual Roots!

And after collecting the Five Needle Pine, Di Tian did not spare the Innate Five Elements Primordial Grand Array that enveloped the island either.

He inscribed it into the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram as the protective grand formation for the Innate Five Needle Pine.

At the instant the array formation was inscribed into the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram, Di Tian also perceived its divine might.

His mind immediately began to stir.

"This grand array not only connects to the Five Elements of heaven and earth, but also contains the true essence of Mixed Origin. It possesses the divine might to fuse the Five Elements into one."

"If I gather the Innate Five Elements Five Direction Flags in the future and use them as the formation eyes, perhaps it could reverse them into Chaos Green Lotus Leaves."

"Or perhaps it could collectively elevate them into Innate Treasures. It may not even be impossible for them to merge into one and reach the level of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure!"

At that thought, a trace of burning excitement rose within Di Tian's heart.

However, he quickly regained his calm.

"Do not be reckless, do not be impetuous, do not be careless."

"Hide steadily and cautiously. I will live as long as heaven and earth, reign alongside the world, ascend safely to the peak of Mixed Origin, and firmly claim the seat of Lord of Heaven and Earth!!"

As he repeated this inwardly, Di Tian gradually calmed down.

"Fellow Daoist Wang Shu, all the opportunities in this place have been gathered."

"The disturbance just now was a little too great. To be safe, we should leave quickly."

"Alright, let's go."

Having reached an agreement, the two immediately transformed into rainbows and vanished from where they stood.

The two continued traveling together through the North Sea for another hundred years.

One day, as they passed through a vast and boundless Extremely Cold Land,

a racial war sparked by the Innate Ancestral Bear and the Innate Ancestral Lion completely drew Di Tian's attention.

It plunged him into deep thought.

"The Ferocious Beast Calamity ended less than ten thousand years ago. How could such a brutal war break out again?"
