Ginseng Fruit, the Great Unity Realm

Duobao chatted briefly with Hongyun, then pulled Chen Yang into Five Villages Temple.

Chen Yang said nothing. Seeing how familiar Duobao was with the place, it was clear that he had a good relationship with both Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun.

Upon entering Five Villages Temple and seeing its profound wonders, Chen Yang could not help but sigh in admiration.

It had to be said that every cultivation ground possessed its own unique character. Kunlun's Yuxu Palace carried an air of majesty, Golden Ao Island's Biyou Palace exuded sharpness, while the Five Villages Temple before them felt natural and unrestrained.

Before long, the group arrived somewhere.

After taking their seats, spiritual fruits were placed upon the table.

Hongyun looked at the fruits with dissatisfaction. "Brother Zhenyuan... you're being too stingy. Little Duobao has even brought his disciple here. Aren't you going to bring out some Ginseng Fruit to entertain them?"

Zhenyuanzi's expression twitched as he replied helplessly, "Hongyun... with your cultivation, why are you always thinking about my Ginseng Fruit? Eating them would not do much for you anyway."

"Haha, Ginseng Fruit tastes good. Little Duobao knows that too," Hongyun said.

Duobao smiled as well. "Uncle Zhenyuan... Uncle Hongyun is right. Ginseng Fruit tastes excellent. Besides, my disciple is here. You should at least treat him properly."

"Haha..." Hongyun laughed loudly, then said, "Brother Zhenyuan... what are you waiting for? They're already here. Do you think you can still keep your Ginseng Fruit?"

Zhenyuanzi shook his head at those words. "Sigh... whenever you two come, there is no chance of keeping my Ginseng Fruit."

As he spoke, he instructed a Daoist attendant to pick some Ginseng Fruit.

"Duobao... what brings you here this time?" Zhenyuanzi suddenly asked.

Duobao nodded, then said solemnly, "Uncle Zhenyuan... I truly have something to ask of you this time. However, it is for the sake of my disciple."

"Oh... judging by little Chen Yang's realm, he is preparing to break through to the Great Unity Realm. You did not come here intending to ask for Five-Elements spiritual materials, did you?" Hongyun asked.

Duobao chuckled. "Uncle Hongyun truly has sharp eyes. That's right. I brought my disciple here to seek some branches from the Ginseng Fruit Tree, as well as First-Generation Ginseng Fruit."

"Using the Ginseng Fruit Tree to refine the energy of wood... then the other four types of Five-Elements energy must come from spiritual roots no inferior in quality to the Ginseng Fruit Tree. Good heavens... Little Duobao, are you planning to have little Chen Yang refine five Supreme-Grade Spiritual Roots?" Hongyun could not help asking.

Duobao nodded. "That's right... my disciple intends to fuse five Supreme-Grade Spiritual Roots."

Zhenyuanzi pondered slightly. "Supreme-Grade Spiritual Roots are difficult to find, especially roots comparable in quality to the Ginseng Fruit Tree. They are exceedingly rare. Not to mention finding five spiritual roots corresponding to the Five Elements. Are you confident?"

"Uncle Zhenyuan... during the recent Three Sects Tournament, my disciple took first place. He received rewards from our master and the others, including two Supreme-Grade Spiritual Roots. Furthermore, the Buddhist Sect also joined the tournament and provided quite a few Golden Bodhi and Golden Lotus Seeds. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the spiritual roots," Duobao said.

"Not bad, not bad... little Chen Yang won first place in the tournament at such a realm. It must have been quite exciting. Had I known, I would have gone to join the fun," Hongyun said.

"Yes, Chen Yang is filled with fierce sword intent. He is indeed extraordinary. But even if you truly gather all the spiritual roots, the quality of the Five-Elements energy may be sufficient, but how will you balance their quantities?" Zhenyuanzi asked.

Duobao stroked his beard and smiled. "Uncle Zhenyuan... my disciple has already found a way to regulate the quantities of the Five Elements. He intends to rely on formations for the adjustment."

"Formations?" Hongyun pondered.

"Uncle Hongyun... you would never guess that my disciple does not cultivate the Sword Dao, but the Formation Dao. My disciple had the wild idea of walking a path no one had ever taken. He cultivates the Formation Dao, integrating formations into his body and forging formations with his body. Especially after refining the Slaying Immortals Sword Formation, he relied on its sharpness to eventually evolve sword qi and defeat numerous disciples of the Three Teachings, winning first place in the tournament. Now that my disciple wishes to break through to the Great Unity Realm, he also plans to follow the path of Body-Forged Formation. He will use Supreme-Grade Spiritual Roots as materials to evolve a Five-Elements Grand Formation within his body and condense the Five-Elements energy needed for his advancement," Duobao said with great satisfaction.

Hearing this, Chen Yang did not know what to say.

Duobao was using Chen Yang to show off, making him feel quite uncomfortable.

Chen Yang had always wanted to conceal his trump cards. Yet during the Three Sects Tournament, faced with such generous rewards and powerful opponents, he had no choice but to reveal everything.

Who would have thought that his own master would immediately expose all his secrets as well?

Still, revealing them before Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun was not much of a problem.

After all, the two were so powerful that whether Chen Yang revealed anything or not, he was no match for them.

After Duobao finished showing off, Hongyun grew curious. His deep gaze fixed upon Chen Yang as though he could see through him.

However, the formations within Chen Yang's body operated, blocking that gaze.

In particular, the Slaying Immortals Sword within Chen Yang's body seemed to sense the prying gaze and began to hum, like an angry young girl.

Hongyun smiled faintly as he looked at Chen Yang. "How interesting, integrating formations into one's body. That is a pioneering path."

Zhenyuanzi nodded as well. "It seems that no one in the Primordial World has taken this path before."

Duobao nodded and asked, "Uncle Zhenyuan... will you agree or not? Give me an answer."

"Of course I will. Since you have asked, can I refuse?" Zhenyuanzi said, shaking his head.

With a gentle sweep of Zhenyuanzi's whisk, several branches of the Ginseng Fruit Tree appeared, along with three Ginseng Fruits.

The three Ginseng Fruits were unlike the ones they had been eating. They were First-Generation Ginseng Fruit, containing the most abundant origin essence of the Ginseng Fruit.

After all, as Ginseng Fruit grew generation after generation, their medicinal effects inevitably weakened.

The first batch of Ginseng Fruit had the best effects and the strongest origin essence. Unfortunately, such fruits were too few, and Zhenyuanzi would not ordinarily take them out.

The reason he was willing to bring them out this time was not merely because of Duobao's reputation. It was likely also because of Tongtian's.

After all, Duobao had said before coming that this visit was also Tongtian's intention.

Having received so many treasures, Chen Yang treasured them greatly. After eating the Ginseng Fruit prepared before him, the spiritual energy within his body began to boil, as though he were about to break through.

The changes in Chen Yang's aura were noticed by Duobao and the others.

Zhenyuanzi swept his whisk. "Break through without worry."

At those words, Chen Yang nodded and began his breakthrough with peace of mind.

With three great powers guarding him here, how could Chen Yang not feel at ease?

He circulated the immortal art, absorbed spiritual energy, and fused the medicinal effects brought by the Ginseng Fruit into his body.

"Buzz..."

In an instant, spiritual energy poured into his dantian, surged into the sword formation, and transformed into Sword Essence.

The Sword Essence then flowed into Chen Yang's heart region. His lungs were tempered by sword qi, which then rushed into his heart, kidneys...

Upon entering the Great Unity Realm, one could guide spiritual energy into the five viscera and six bowels.

As the transformation continued, it finally rushed toward the core, the center of his abdomen.

Boom...

The roar at that moment was like the creation of heaven and earth.

Chen Yang's consciousness felt as though he stood in darkness. Following the sword qi, he slashed out with a single sword.

Under that slash, chaos was torn apart.

As chaos split open, endless spiritual energy poured into it and transformed into pure energy.

That energy intertwined with his five viscera, forming a halo.

Chen Yang knew that this place was the Middle Dantian, connecting the five viscera and six bowels.

The Great Unity Realm cultivated the five viscera and evolved the Middle Dantian.

At that moment, Chen Yang circulated the Grand Unity Chapter of the Pure High Immortal Art, guiding spiritual energy through his dantian and past his five viscera and six bowels before finally merging it into the Middle Dantian.

As it fused within, Chen Yang's aura surged, and he completely entered the Great Unity Realm.

At that instant, the heavens rumbled as dark clouds gathered.

Seeing this, Duobao's expression grew slightly grave. "A tribulation of lightning?"

"It is normal for a lightning tribulation to descend when breaking through to the Great Unity Realm. With Chen Yang's cultivation, passing the tribulation should be easy," Hongyun said.

Zhenyuanzi nodded slightly as well. "Whether in physical body or cultivation, Chen Yang's foundation is exceptionally deep. The Grand Unity Tribulation should be easy for him."

As they spoke, lightning poured toward Chen Yang like a raging torrent.

Chen Yang was still immersed in cultivation and seemed scarcely aware of the lightning outside.

The lightning descended, enveloping Chen Yang and ravaging his body. Unfortunately, it was of little use. Instead, Chen Yang absorbed it and transformed it into energy.

Good heavens, Chen Yang dealt with the tribulation so easily that he did not take it seriously at all.

There was no helping it. In terms of his physical body, Chen Yang had reached the peak of the ninth level of the fourth turn of the Nine-Turn Profound Art, only one step away from the fifth turn.

In terms of cultivation, he had entered the Great Unity Realm, and his foundation was incredibly profound.

As the tribulation descended, Chen Yang remained absorbed in cultivation. He circulated the middle chapter of the Pure High Immortal Art, sensed the changes within himself, and derived a cultivation method.

That was right, he was deriving a cultivation method.

Chen Yang felt Dao rhythm pass through him as a cultivation method evolved. "Hiss... so this is the evolution of the Pure High method that Master spoke of? It must be said, a Saint's wisdom is truly astounding."

Chen Yang murmured inwardly. He did not notice the lightning at all, his entire mind immersed in that passage of Dao Script within his sea of consciousness.

One strange Dao Script after another intertwined, forming a chapter.

Pure High Immortal Art!
