Five-Needle Pine, Purifying World White Lotus, Dinghai Divine Pearls Gathered!

As he sensed the information surfacing in his mind, Zhao Gongming instinctively froze, an incredulous look of delight appearing on his face!

In the Primordial World, aside from Grotto-Heaven Paradises formed naturally by heaven and earth, most had been transformed from fragments of chaos that fell into the Primordial World when Pangu split open chaos and created heaven and earth. The most famous were naturally the Three Immortal Isles: Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou Immortal Isles. Each was a top-tier Grotto-Heaven Paradise. Apart from Penglai Immortal Isle, which Eastern King Lord had found, the remaining Yingzhou and Fangzhang Immortal Isles were exceedingly mysterious and had never appeared in the Primordial World.

He hadn't expected the opportunity he'd found this time to be a top-tier Grotto-Heaven Paradise!

At that thought, Zhao Gongming suppressed the wild joy in his heart and immediately stepped inside, vanishing into Yingzhou Immortal Island.

"What's this?"

The moment Zhao Gongming entered Yingzhou Immortal Island, the sight before him left him stunned. The spiritual qi between heaven and earth was so dense it had condensed into mist, more than a hundred times richer than the Shouyang Restriction. Taking a single breath was worth several months of bitter cultivation outside. Looking around, the sheer number of spiritual roots and materials was even more astonishing. As far as his eyes could see, Zhao Gongming spotted over a dozen Innate Spiritual Roots alone!

And this was merely the outer region of Yingzhou Immortal Island. It was difficult to imagine what sort of opportunities its core region contained!

Whoosh!

Zhao Gongming moved with practiced ease, using the Wind-Riding Divine Ability to head straight for the core region of Yingzhou Immortal Island.

As he continued deeper, the spiritual qi of heaven and earth became ever more astonishing. The number of spiritual roots and materials decreased, but their quality steadily rose.

"A middle-grade Innate Spiritual Root, a Phoenix-Blood Fruit Tree?"

"Oh? A Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Root, an Enlightenment Tea Tree?"

"This is..."

Zhao Gongming naturally refused nothing. Whether spiritual roots, spiritual materials, Innate Spiritual Vein Ore, or even Innate Spirit Soil, he relocated them all into the First Heavens World.

Within the Twenty-Four Heavens Worlds, the spiritual roots, spiritual materials, Innate Spirit Soil, and vein ore were all placed in the First Heavens World. Zhao Gongming had named this heavens world the Spirit Realm.

The Human Race, meanwhile, multiplied and thrived within the Second Heavens World, which was the Human Realm.

At this moment, the Three Skies, cultivating in the First Heavens World—the Spirit Realm—were startled by the sight before them.

"So many spiritual roots and materials? Did Big Brother plunder the cultivation ground of some Great Supernatural Being?"

"A Great Supernatural Being? Big Brother hasn't even attained the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Dao yet, has he?"

"Big Brother seemed to have found a Grotto-Heaven Paradise not long ago. Now he's found another one?"

Though the Three Skies couldn't see the scene outside, the unceasing stream of spiritual roots, spiritual materials, and Innate Spiritual Vein Ore falling from above was simply too frightening!

Even a large Grotto-Heaven Paradise probably didn't possess such an astonishing amount of spiritual roots and materials. At that thought, the Three Skies were thoroughly startled!

Could it be that Big Brother had found a top-tier Grotto-Heaven Paradise?

Innate divine beings were born knowing all things. Naturally, they knew about top-tier Grotto-Heaven Paradises—opportunities that even Heavenly Dao Sages found difficult to obtain!

Was their Big Brother's Fortune a little too terrifying?

For a moment, the Three Skies clicked their tongues in wonder, with no thought of refining spiritual fruits. They hurried forward and used their mana to sort out the spirit soil, turning it into spiritual fields, then planted each spiritual root within them in orderly fashion.

When it came to fighting, they couldn't help Zhao Gongming much. But when it came to farming and tending spiritual roots, Zhao Gongming was a complete brute. Some of these spiritual roots and materials were nearly crammed together, while others were spaced far too sparsely. The Three Skies could hardly bear to look at it.

Leaving aside the Three Skies, who had now busied themselves.

"We're here!"

Zhao Gongming stopped.

A top-tier Grotto-Heaven Paradise was simply too vast. Even using the Wind-Riding Divine Ability, Zhao Gongming had flown for several months before barely reaching its core.

Looking around, the innate spiritual qi here had become so dense that it condensed into spiritual rain, even forming a sea of spiritual qi.

At the center of this spiritual sea stood an island. Upon closer inspection, the entire island was actually formed from Innate Spiritual Crystals. This was no longer the era when heaven and earth had first opened. Even to Great Supernatural Beings, Innate Spiritual Crystals possessed considerable value, capable of rapidly restoring their mana during battle. The worth of an island of spiritual crystals was no less than an Upper-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Yet Zhao Gongming merely glanced over the spiritual crystal island before looking straight ahead.

There stood a pine spiritual root, a thousand zhang tall, rooted atop the spiritual crystal island. Its roots twisted like coiling dragons, its crown spread like a canopy, and its trunk resembled an azure dragon. Twenty-five pinecones hung from it, each like a five-colored jewel suspended from a pagoda, surrounding the pagoda in swirling five-colored radiance. Every pinecone was covered in scales, each scale shaped like a shield, with wings on either side. It was mystical beyond compare and sturdy beyond compare. A single glance made it difficult for Zhao Gongming to look away.

"This is... the Innate Five-Needle Pine?"

The instant he saw this pine spiritual root, Zhao Gongming already knew its origins, and waves rose in his heart.

In the Primordial World, there were ten supreme Innate Spiritual Roots.

They were the Yellow-Center Plum, Lunar Cassia, Fusang Divine Tree, Ginseng Fruit Tree, Calabash Vine, Bodhi Tree, Bitter Bamboo, Flat Peach, Immortal Apricot, and the most mysterious of them all, the Five-Needle Pine.

Among them, the Bodhi Tree, Bitter Bamboo, and Ginseng Fruit Tree had all taken form, becoming the Two Western Sages and the top Great Supernatural Being, Zhen Yuanzi.

It was said that consuming a single Yellow-Center Plum could allow one to directly attain the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Dao!

The Calabash Vine bore seven calabashes, the lowest-grade among them all being Upper-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures!

Since the Five-Needle Pine stood alongside the ten supreme Innate Spiritual Roots, it naturally possessed its own wonders. Each time it bore fruit, it produced five pagoda-shaped pinecones. Within every pinecone were five pine nuts—black, red, yellow, white, and azure—containing the purest Five Elements Origin. So long as one consumed these five pine nuts, one could instantly perfect the Five Qi within one's chest and attain the realm of Perfected Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

In other words, every time the Five-Needle Pine matured, it could instantly create five cultivators at the Perfected Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm. Though its effects couldn't compare to the Yellow-Center Plum's—

—they were already astonishing enough. And there were simply too many of them; every maturation could produce five Perfected Primordial Unity Golden Immortals!

At that thought, Zhao Gongming was delighted. He immediately stepped forward and arrived beneath the Five-Needle Pine, only to discover something that delighted him even more.

Beneath the Five-Needle Pine was a spiritual pool, radiating the three divine lights of sun, moon, and stars. It was none other than the legendary Three Lights Divine Water. This was the Primordial World's foremost divine medicine. A single drop contained astonishing, boundless vitality. Back when Sun Wukong had pushed over the Ginseng Fruit Tree, Guanyin had appeared and sprinkled a few drops over it, restoring it to life.

And this entire pool of Three Lights Divine Water contained not merely tens of millions, but hundreds of millions of drops. Its value was simply impossible to estimate.

Yet what truly drew Zhao Gongming's gaze was a Twelfth-Rank Purifying World White Lotus growing at the center of the Three Lights Divine Water pool. It scattered endless Purifying World radiance, swaying with a grace like the most perfect creation in the world. Resting quietly atop the white lotus were twelve blue pearls, each containing a hazy world, their origins linked together.

"This is... the Twelfth-Rank Purifying World White Lotus?"
