The biggest difference between the Primordial World and later generations lies here. If the Innate Spiritual Root of later generations were placed in the Primordial World, the effects of the fruits would be at least a hundred or even ten thousand times greater, making them almost like different species.
" The Ginseng Fruit Tree? I've heard of it. It's one of the ten Top-tier Innate Spiritual Root of Primordial World primordial world Innate Xu Earth Spiritual Root. The Great Immortal's possession of this tree is truly an enviable blessing."
Sensing that Zhenyuanzi was showing off, Jiang Yuan played along perfectly.
"It is indeed enviable. The reason why Longevity Mountain is the first of the seventy-two Blessed Land is because the Ginseng Fruit Tree grows here."
Hong Yun chimed in, saying that he greatly envied Zhenyuanzi's Ginseng Fruit Tree and dreamed of finding a similar Innate Spiritual Root to transplant to Fire Cloud Cave.
Unfortunately, top-tier immortal spiritual roots are extremely rare; they're not something he can simply obtain at will.
"There's nothing to envy; it's all just fate."
Mentioning the Ginseng Fruit Tree, Zhenyuanzi couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. Few in the Primordial World knew that he was not actually Innate Divine Being born from the earth's origin, but rather the spiritual manifestation of the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
When he first developed his will, he realized that it was not easy for a top-tier spiritual root to take human form. So he broke free from his original body and merged with the origin of the earth, which is how he was able to take human form.
However, while he did achieve human form, his innate abilities were weakened, preventing him from becoming one of the most powerful Innate Divine Being in the Primordial World, and placing him slightly inferior to figures like Di Jun and Tai Yi, Fuxi Nuwa, and Nuwa.
"Speaking of Top-tier Innate Spiritual Root, I also have one here, the very same Innate Gourd Vine that the Great Immortal Hong Yun saw on Mount Buzhou."
"After it suffered its calamity, although it was utterly destroyed, fortunately, there is always a way out. Thanks to the good fortune of our Human Race, it was able to regain its vitality."
"Now, all that is needed is to gather the primordial energy of the seven Innate Gourd to fully revive them. I hope that the Great Immortal Hong Yun will lend me a hand."
Upon mentioning Innate Spiritual Root, Jiang Yuan took out Innate Gourd Vine and made a request to Hong Yun.
The Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd in Hong Yun's hand is one of the seven Innate Gourd formed by the Innate Gourd Vine.
"This is a small matter. I felt sorry for it when I saw it wither and die back then. Unfortunately, my abilities were limited, and I couldn't save it. Now that I can lend a helping hand, it puts one of my worries to rest."
Upon hearing this, Hong Yun immediately untied the large red gourd tied to her waist, extracted a wisp of primordial essence from it, and returned it to the Innate Gourd Vine.
Instantly, the vitality permeating the Innate Gourd Vine visibly increased even further.
"Alright, now all that's needed for the Innate Gourd Vine to fully revive is the Innate Gourd in the hands of my three senior uncles from Mount Kunlun."
Jiang Yuan was delighted, saying that once the Three Pure Ones attained sainthood, he would go to pay his respects and the Innate Gourd Vine would be fully revived.
Why not pay respects now, but wait until the Three Pure Ones become saints? Because the Three Pure Ones have already announced their seclusion and have been closed to visitors until they become saints. Even if Jiang Yuan went to Mount Kunlun, he would not be able to see them.
"The Ten Primordial World Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots: the Phoenix Clan's Innate Parasol Tree, the Qilin Clan's Innate Yellow Bell Pear, and the Dragon Race's Innate Jianmu."
" The Innate Fusang Tree and Innate Moon Laurel Tree of the Demon Clan, the Innate Gourd Vine and Innate Plantain Tree of Mount Buzhou, and the Ginseng Fruit Tree in my hand and the Bodhi Tree of the Western Lands."
"These are nine trees already, only the Innate Flat Peach Tree is missing, and it remains elusive. I wonder if I am destined to find it."
There were three people present, but only Hong Yun lacked Top-tier Innate Spiritual Root, which filled him with bitterness, and he couldn't help but sigh...
Jiang Yuan remained outwardly calm, but he knew in his heart that Hong Yun could not possibly find the Innate Flat Peach Tree. This was because the tree already had an owner, none other than the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
The Dao Ancestor wished he could kill him, so why would he give him the Innate Flat Peach Tree?
"Who told you that there are only ten of the ten top-tier spiritual roots in the Primordial World? This 'ten' is a general rule; I don't know the exact number, but there are definitely more than ten Top-tier Innate Spiritual Root in the Primordial World."
" The Innate Kun Wood of East Kunlun Mountain, the Immortal Divine Tree of West Kunlun, and the Innate Creation Divine Tree in Thunder Marsh are all Top-tier Innate Spiritual Root."
Zhenyuanzi glanced at Hong Yun and said. As a person with Top-tier Innate Spiritual Root had taken human form, he knew far more than others.
Many Top-tier Innate Spiritual Root, though born many years ago, have never revealed themselves, to the point that no one knows of their existence.
Since their existence was unknown, they were naturally not included when the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots were being Primordial World.
"All of these things you mentioned have owners, don't they?"
Hong Yun said resentfully, he thought Zhenyuanzi would comfort him by mentioning some unclaimed Top-tier Innate Spiritual Root, but he didn't expect that after giving so many examples, they were all already owned.
The rulers of East Kunlun are the Three Pure Ones, and the rulers of West Kunlun are the Queen Mother of the West. Thunder Marsh is the birthplace of Emperor Xi Empress Wa, Innate Creation Divine Tree grew there, so it is easy to imagine who its master is.
"Unclaimed top-tier spiritual roots are either already in human form or growing in extremely dangerous places; neither is something you can touch."
"In my opinion, you should focus on your cultivation. Once you become Sage, they will appear before you without you having to actively seek them out."
After going around in circles, Zhenyuanzi still wanted to persuade Hong Yun to cultivate diligently and strive to become a saint as soon as possible.
"Alas, becoming a saint is no easy feat. Even the Three Pure Ones haven't made a move, let alone me?"
Hong Yun was also troubled by this. Although he was a kind-hearted person, he was not stupid. He knew that many people in the Primordial World were watching him, and the only way to get rid of them was to become a saint as soon as possible.
But becoming a saint isn't something he can achieve at will; it requires a special opportunity. And opportunities are a matter of fate; no one can predict when they will appear.
"If the opportunity hasn't arrived, it's simply because your Destiny insufficient. Insufficient Destiny is simply because you haven't accumulated enough Merit. As long as you have enough Merit, your Destiny will naturally improve. And when your Destiny improves, the opportunity will naturally appear."
Therefore, the immortal should strive to accumulate Merit.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yuan reminded him, "Given Hong Yun's situation, the only way to break this deadlock is to accumulate immeasurable Merit and ascend to sainthood in one leap."
Otherwise, even if Kunpeng is magnanimous and stops arguing with him, the Two Sages of the West will not let him off the hook.
As for joining the Western Lands and establishing Western Teaching together with the Two Sages of the West, that is indeed a viable path.
The problem is that, given the barrenness of the Western Lands, even the birth of two Sage required borrowing from the Heavenly Dao, let alone three. This path is highly unlikely to be viable, and the Two Sages of the West certainly wouldn't leave behind Hong Yun.
" Di Yuan is right. To become a saint, one must accumulate Merit. Fortunately, governing the Western Lands is a great Merit. The three of us can devise a plan; we might be able to achieve enlightenment through this."
Upon hearing this, Zhenyuanzi perked up and offered his suggestion.
Although the Merit gained from successfully governing the Western Lands was great, it was certainly insufficient to create three Sage.
The problem is that the three of them don't rely entirely on Merit; they also practice diligently on their own. And the higher their cultivation level, the less Merit they need to achieve enlightenment.
