Chapter 368: Receiving the Jianmu, Entering Dao Integration

Tian Rulai thought that if Su Ping fused with the Jianmu Ancient Tree seed and allowed it to grow, it would be usable.

It would take at least half a year, and it wouldn't be surprising if it took several years.

To buy Su Ping such a long period of safety, Tian Rulai had prepared himself mentally to pay a significant price.

However.

After Su Ping returned to the Sun Moon Star Chart with the tree seed.

He planted the Jianmu Tree Seed in this slowly evolving Array Diagram World.

The seed, sensing the vitality of the new world, immediately sprouted and broke through the soil.

But very quickly, it sent out a message of weakness.

Even though it had reincarnated as a tree seed to start over.

It had still not escaped the Evil Qi pollution; it was merely in a state of Seal.

As it revived, the pollution also awakened, continuing to erode its origin and foundation.

This forced the Jianmu sapling to send a request to Su Ping, its only straw to clutch at for survival.

Su Ping took out the Abundant Spirit Water and the Purification Potion.

The Purification Potion could not affect the Jianmu Ancient Tree, but it worked perfectly on the Jianmu in its current sapling state.

Because at this moment, it was the Evil Qi pollution that had become a source-less entity.

With one waning and the other waxing, the Purification Potion could rely on its quantitative advantage to grind away all the pollution!

The Abundant Spirit Water was an even more miraculous item that could allow the Jianmu to grow rapidly.

Any plant with spirituality would find it hard to resist its charm.

Thus, Su Ping quickly succeeded in forming a contract with this Jianmu sapling.

And he allowed its projection to manifest within the Huijuan of the Sun Moon Star Chart.

Su Ping sensed the Jianmu consciousness Avatar within his Primordial Spirit.

He revealed a smile, then first took out the Purification Potion to cleanse the Evil Qi remaining in the Jianmu sapling.

Afterward, Su Ping also put in the effort, giving the Jianmu a one-thousand-year supply of Abundant Spirit Water in one go.

Ding-dong!

Having received the Abundant Spirit Water, the Jianmu transformed from a sapling into a towering tree in an instant.

However, although the tree reached a height of one hundred meters.

It still did not live up to the name of Jianmu.

The current Jianmu could still only be considered an immature sapling.

But even so, it began to fulfill its role as the Jianmu Divine Tree.

Su Ping could feel that this Jianmu Divine Tree was like a needle to calm the sea, instantly stabilizing the space within the Sun Moon Star Chart.

The three Small Worlds that had been forcibly swallowed, including the Netherworld, also saw their fusion speed with the Array Diagram World begin to stabilize as the space steadied.

Just like those Small Worlds in the Canghao World that had evolved into asteroids.

They were becoming a part of the Sun Moon Star Chart.

The projection of the Jianmu Divine Tree in the Huijuan also took on the appearance of a towering tree.

It appeared quite conspicuous in the Huijuan.

Su Ping felt very satisfied, so he continued to provide the Jianmu Divine Tree with Abundant Spirit Water.

Ten thousand years, twenty thousand years... thirty-six thousand years!

The Jianmu Divine Tree reached the age of thirty-six thousand years.

Its physical size finally grew to a height of thirty thousand meters.

Standing at the foot of the tree and looking up, it finally had a bit of the grandeur of the Jianmu Divine Tree.

This was, of course, not the limit of the Jianmu Divine Tree.

But it was the current limit of the Sun Moon Star Chart.

If he continued to provide Abundant Spirit Water, what grew in the short term would just be returned.

Su Ping could only stop there.

He would wait until he successfully achieved Dao Integration and refined the Sun Moon Star Chart into his own internal Small World.

Then he would continue to provide Abundant Spirit Water to raise the level of the Jianmu Divine Tree.

However, judging from the memory fragments awakened after the Jianmu Divine Tree grew.

A thirty-six-thousand-year-old Jianmu Divine Tree was already a peak state it had never reached before.

Even in the Great World.

The Jianmu Divine Tree had only grown for over eleven thousand years before being severely damaged by a catastrophe.

Later, when it had finally recovered and was preparing to continue growing.

It encountered the swallowing of the Supreme Mother God.

According to the memories of the Jianmu Divine Tree.

At that time, the entire Great World had fallen into endless darkness.

Thousands of divine objects in the Great World, including the Jianmu Divine Tree.

Had the vast majority of their energy drained away in that instant by a strange and terrifying power.

A large number of divine objects vanished into thin air at that moment.

Those that survived, like the Jianmu Divine Tree, fell into a withered state worse than death.

Su Ping could feel that when the Supreme Mother God was in a conscious state, she could actually directly destroy the World Barrier and decompose and digest it directly.

Therefore, whether it was the Great World or those Small Thousand Worlds.

So they really were all swallowed by that Mother God as food for the winter?

Just so that when she wakes up next time, she can immediately eat some food to stave off hunger...

Su Ping sighed helplessly at this, then began to feel the bonuses brought to him after the Jianmu Divine Tree grew, and simply closed his eyes to meditate under the Jianmu Divine Tree.

Under the guidance of the Jianmu Divine Tree, Su Ping was now blessed by the world power of three Small Worlds.

In this instant, he had already become the Son of Destiny of the three Small Worlds.

Coupled with the blessing of the Nether Immortal Body and the bonus of his own Immortal Monarch Body.

Spirit Transformation Middle Stage, Spirit Transformation Late Stage, Transformation of Spirit Realm... he was promoted without the slightest obstruction.

All the Big Dipper and South Dipper techniques he had collected were also constantly combining in Su Ping's mind, forming the breakthrough method most suitable for his current physique.

Hum!

After Su Ping meditated and cultivated for twelve days.

Following the sudden snapping of a certain string existing between heaven and earth.

The colors of the entire Sun Moon Star Chart seemed to suddenly become a few shades more vivid.

Su Ping discovered that, unknowingly, he had suddenly entered the Return to Void Realm.

He now possessed the divine ability to casually craft a Secret Realm Cave Heaven and hide it within a divine weapon or treasure.

Even the Heavenly Venerable Dharma Image he formed could, with a mere gesture, easily find and destroy those Secret Realm Cave Heavens hidden in space.

"In the subsequent stages of the Return to Void Realm, one can absorb world power to cultivate."

"With the help of the Jianmu Divine Tree in my Sun Moon Star Chart, I can completely absorb the power of those Small Worlds without side effects and make it my own."

"My cultivation speed can far exceed other Return to Void Daoists even without taking Spirit Pills or medicines."

"Moreover... medicinal recipes that can increase cultivation for the Return to Void Realm are extremely rare, even in a Great World."

"And the Spirit Herbs in those recipes are often mostly extinct."

"Leaving me with no place to use my Abundant Spirit Water."

"Trying to level up by popping pills has become difficult too."

He sighed with emotion.

Su Ping, in the Return to Void Realm, made a powerful return to the Biyuan World.

This made Tian Rulai immediately sense it, and in an instant, he flew before Su Ping.

"You... have broken through again?"

Tian Rulai was somewhat incredulous.

How long had it been since this partner of his advanced to the Transformation of Spirit Realm?

And now he had reached the Return to Void Realm?

And it was not an ordinary Return to Void Realm.

Looking at the Primordial Spirit phantom, there was a Golden Leaf Bodhi phantom, and also a Jianmu Divine Tree phantom.

Within the divine light contained in his body, there was also the protection of the destiny of multiple Small Worlds.

Such a Return to Void Realm was truly something Tian Rulai had seen for the first time in his life!

"Jianmu..."

Tian Rulai asked about the thing he cared about most.

Su Ping smiled faintly, and the Sun Moon Star Chart appeared behind him, slowly unfolding.

Tian Rulai saw the portrait of the heaven-supporting Jianmu Divine Tree within the Huijuan.

A smile appeared on his face.

"Amitabha!"

"Daoist is truly unfathomable, actually being able to let the Jianmu Tree Seed grow to over ten thousand years of age in such a short time."

"With a Jianmu Divine Tree of this age, there should be no major problem in holding out through that period of Chaos in the short term."

"Tian Rulai thanks you here, Daoist!"

…………

Small Thousand World, Five Elements World.

After this period of time, the Five Elements World had changed from a grape shape to an uneven, bumpy, concave-convex ball shape.

The other Small Worlds that originally surrounded the Five Elements World.

At this moment, they had long since vanished without a trace.

Except for the three Small Worlds taken away by Su Ping and those people saved in advance.

The other Small Worlds had all, shockingly, entered the bellies of the large and small Evil Spirits and children of the Evil Gods in the Dark Void.

The Five Elements World had thus seen its pressure multiply.

It felt the despair of when the Cultivation World was once on the verge of collapse.

Many famous sects of the Five Elements World.

Had also long since perished under the Great Calamity.

The only difference was whether they were sacrificed by traitors within their own sect or destroyed by Evil Spirits brought by evil cultivators from other sects.

Those big shots who had been thinking about Su Ping's Immortal Body not long ago.

Now, most of them had fallen or turned into evil cultivators.

A small portion had huddled together, hiding in the self-contained mountain gate Dongtian of the Five Elements Sect, struggling to hold on with the help of ancient arrays.

Aside from trying to find a way to survive, they had no more greed.

It was not that these remaining big shots had not thought about becoming evil cultivators to defect to the children of the Evil Gods.

But the World Barrier of the Five Elements World had been completely shattered, making it difficult to repair.

Especially after the earth veins were all polluted.

Once the children of the Evil God felt the overall situation was secure, they revealed their true forms.

They directly swallowed several evil cultivators who had sacrificed their own sects as if they were desserts.

And upon seeing those evil cultivators, who were originally at the Spirit Severing and Return to Void Realm, having no power to resist and being devoured when facing the true forms of the children of the Evil God of the same realm.

The remaining big shots, no matter how stupid, understood that all the talk of preserving oneself and maintaining subjective initiative was just the children of the Evil God deceiving them.

At the same time, after such a long period of intense fighting.

The remnants of the Five Elements World also learned from their opponents about the changes occurring in the Dark Void.

Although they did not know the full picture, they understood at least that the current great catastrophe was actually just an appetizer.

The true, terrifying apocalypse had yet to arrive.

…………

In the Cave Heaven Secret Realm, which relied on the remnants of the Zhu Feng array of the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Sect in the Five Elements World.

The cultivators who were working hard in the secret realm to cultivate and condense Dharma Power.

Were once again forced to interrupt their cultivation amidst earth-shaking tremors, looking up with ugly expressions, worriedly watching as cracks continuously appeared and vanished in the gray, hazy sky.

Feeling the shaking subside.

A Golden Core cultivator in a sect plaza immediately scolded with a stern expression:

"What time is it, hurry up and regain your focus!"

"Think about it, your friends and family are all settled in the Earth Palace."

"If the Dharma Power we condense is not enough to maintain the operation of the array."

"Everyone will become a meal on the plate for the children of the Evil God!"

The Golden Core cultivator shouted angrily, causing the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators in the plaza to hurriedly lower their heads and close their eyes to resume cultivation.

The bit of Dharma Power they managed to condense with great difficulty would also be immediately input into the array patterns on the floor.

Allowing their Dharma Power to condense into the entire array.

Contributing a little bit of strength to resist the foreign enemy.

This was also because the remaining cultivator forces of the Five Elements World truly had no other options.

They could only find ways to squeeze out even the Dharma Power of low-level cultivators.

Pfft!

Inside the high tower at the very center of the Cave Heaven, an old woman with white hair suddenly had her expression change and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Afterwards, with the help of a group of people.

The old woman waved her hand, and after taking a Spirit Pill, her complexion improved slightly as she said:

"It is fine, I was just slightly backlashed, which triggered an old injury."

"The array is still intact, the attack just now..."

Before the old woman could finish speaking, many people also revealed a hint of a smile.

They were currently relying entirely on the array to hold on.

Hearing that the array was intact, they let out a sigh of relief.

However, just as they had relaxed their hearts.

This Cave Heaven suddenly began to shake violently and abnormally once again.

"Those monsters have launched an attack again?"

"The frequency is getting faster and faster!"

"Are they determined to eat us regardless of the cost?"

The high-level cultivators on the high tower fell into grief and indignation.

Some Great Ability gritted their teeth and took out magic treasures, preparing for a desperate struggle.

The old woman, as the actual Array Master of this Cave Heaven, also hurriedly closed her eyes again to control the array.

Only this time, as soon as she closed her eyes, she suffered a huge backlash again and vomited a large amount of black blood!

Bang!

The sky of the Cave Heaven suddenly shattered like a glass ceiling broken by violence, opening a large hole!

A large amount of Evil Qi surged out from the pitch-black hole.

Furthermore, a blood-red single eye appeared at the opening, peering downward.

And it let out a cackling laugh that echoed throughout the Cave Heaven.

Then, one after another, Evil Spirits ranging from several meters to tens of meters in size swarmed out from the gap like locusts.

"Quickly slay the Evil Spirits and repair the array!"

More than a dozen beams of light flew out from the high tower.

The new Sect Master of the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Sect raised the Five Elements Flag, unleashing waves of Wind Technique, raging fire, cold water, and Sharp Metal Sword Qi, slaughtering many Evil Spirits.

There was also a Fomen High Monk who manifested a thousand-meter-tall Bodhisattva Dharma Image with three heads and a thousand arms; after shattering countless Evil Spirits, he attempted to block the gap.

However, just as that Bodhisattva Dharma Image approached within a few hundred meters of the gap.

A giant claw covered in black scales was seen reaching out from the gap.

This claw grabbed the thousand-meter-tall Bodhisattva Dharma Image in one go.

And then, like picking up a small chick, dragged the Dharma Image back outside the gap.

The next second, that Fomen High Monk also withered away, hurriedly fleeing back to the high tower.

Then the claw from the gap reached out again, failing to grab the escaping new Sect Master.

But it was not discouraged, and simply transformed into a giant palm and slapped down.

With a boom, this Dongtian land suffered a large number of cracks.

The sect buildings situated on the land also collapsed by more than half as a result.

Inside the Earth Palace, the hundreds of thousands of people sheltered there also erupted with a massive amount of negative emotions.

This caused the Son of the Evil God outside the breach to burst into another round of joyful laughter.

However, the cackling laughter suddenly cut off.

It made the high-level Cultivators, who were on the verge of collapse, tremble slightly, as if they did not understand what had happened to the Son of the Evil God outside.

Had an accident occurred, or was it planning to use some other means to torture them again?
