completely exhausted, yet the rapid expansion of the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven still had not ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the fourth tier, whenever the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven advanced, its area would expand by roughly ten times in a single burst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after the area expanded tenfold would the expansion speed of the Grotto-Heaven slow down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it would still continue to expand at an extremely slow pace during ordinary times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once the volume of the Grotto-Heaven increased, expanding its area by ten times in a single burst was no longer so easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan estimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting from the fourth tier, for every tier the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven advanced, the expansion multiplier of its area would gradually decrease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, after the rapid expansion phase ended, it would continue to expand slowly over time at a normal speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven advanced to the fourth tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven advancing to the fourth tier, the growth limit of the spiritual plants within it increased, but only to a limited extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, spiritual plants of the first to fourth tiers were the main crops planted in the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the significant increase in area allowing for more spiritual plants to be grown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time went on, the gap between cultivators and spiritual plants would grow ever wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, only about five thousand spiritual plants could be elevated to the lower grade of the sixth tier each time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the spiritual energy in the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven did not need to be supplied to cultivators for cultivation, and all energy could be used to nurture spiritual plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven were compared to the Earthly Mystic Realm, then the spiritual plants grown within the Grotto-Heaven would be equivalent to the cultivators of the Earthly Mystic Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at the sixth-tier level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for some special fifth-tier spiritual plants, Ye Qingxuan had planted all spiritual plants from the first to fourth tiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they reached the seventh-tier level, the number of spiritual plants capable of growing to the seventh tier within the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven would be even smaller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sixth tier was merely the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The growth limit of the spiritual plants planted within it also increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both required consuming the energy of their respective worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If all cultivators cultivated to the Mahayana realm, even if they possessed such talent, the Earthly Mystic Realm would not have sufficient energy to supply them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Earthly Mystic Realm, the number of cultivators that could be supported at the Mahayana level was limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the reason why Ye Qingxuan, at the very beginning, did not greedily replace all the low-tier spiritual plants in the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven to reap the benefits of planting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The growth limit of the spiritual plants planted within the Grotto-Heaven could at most be raised to the lower grade of the sixth tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was cultivators, spiritual plants, or other heavenly treasures and earthly wonders, the energy required to advance by even a small level was enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way to nurture all spiritual plants to the highest tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven before its advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the early stage of the fourth tier, even with the assistance of various sixth-tier formations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sixth tier was merely a quantitative change, while the seventh tier was a qualitative transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit Gathering Grass, Spirit Purifying Tree, and Earth Spirit Flower, these special spiritual plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they could continue to grow, and their growth speed before the seventh tier was not much different from ordinary plants below the seventh tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon reaching the supreme grade of the sixth tier, the energy and time required to transform into the seventh tier were unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, if there was even the slightest error, the transformation would fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, Ye Qingxuan would not only fail to obtain a single seventh-tier spiritual plant but might also lose a supreme-grade sixth-tier spiritual plant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the seventh-tier White Lotus, seventh-tier Purple Bamboo, and seventh-tier Armor Vine, whose essence was inherently at the seventh-tier level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although their growth speed was extremely slow in the early stages due to the need to transform elemental primordial energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could effortlessly cross the shackles of the sixth and seventh tiers and naturally transform into the seventh-tier level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the difference between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seventh-tier spiritual plants would convert the absorbed energy into primordial energy, consuming far too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, in the later stages, even if the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven grew to the seventh tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan would still be unable to nurture all the spiritual plants within the Grotto-Heaven to the seventh tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless Ye Qingxuan was willing to sacrifice quantity for quality, choosing to nurture only seventh-tier spiritual plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven to advance, it needed to comprehend enough elemental mysteries and rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying solely on refining spirit ores to comprehend the rules was far from enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven to shorten the time required for advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Planting a wide variety of other spiritual plants was indispensable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to seventh-tier spiritual plants, Ye Qingxuan valued the growth of the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven and the breakthrough of his own cultivation base more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as these two goals were not affected, other restrictions were trivial to Ye Qingxuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earning resources was originally meant to accelerate the growth of the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven and improve his own cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such circumstances, Ye Qingxuan would naturally not put the cart before the horse, delaying the growth of the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven and the improvement of his own cultivation for the sake of resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Ye Qingxuan could not abandon the growth of the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven in exchange for more seventh-tier spiritual plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After perceiving the limit of the early fourth-tier Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven and understanding all this in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan's expression remained calm, with no fluctuation in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quota of five thousand lower-grade sixth-tier spiritual plants was sufficient in the early stages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven improved, this number would continue to grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the remaining time, Ye Qingxuan used it to comprehend the fourth-tier Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven and perfect his Earth Immortal Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he would elevate his Earth Immortal Body to the fourth-tier level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Ye Qingxuan did not place excessive value on cultivation techniques or the Earth Immortal Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Immortal Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivators rely on techniques to accelerate the accumulation of energy, break through realms, and transform themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, many cultivators, like Ye Qingxuan, also practice body-refining techniques to elevate their physical realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon reaching the Immortal Realm level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comprehending the Great Dao laws is the sole standard for elevating one's cultivation base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the Great Dao laws are elevated, a cultivator can, with a single thought, open deeper layers of the world's space, devouring the primordial essence and even the turbulent chaotic energy within to transform themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, after entering the Immortal Realm, cultivators no longer require auxiliary techniques for cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Dao is singular; the primordial unity is one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the pursuit after the Immortal Realm; as for techniques? They are merely flashy trifles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan is now perfecting his comprehension of the Earth Immortal Art and refining the Earth Immortal Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is merely a necessity before the Immortal Realm, and a means to ensure he does not fall behind others before reaching it, while accelerating his own growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Immortal Realm, the Earth Immortal Body still holds great significance for Ye Qingxuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the Great Dao laws are comprehended and the Immortal Realm is broken through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cultivator's physical body will merge with the comprehended Great Dao laws, transforming into a Great Dao Law Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether the Earth Immortal Body or other powerful physiques cultivated deliberately by cultivators, all are insignificant before the Great Dao Law Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a Great Dao Law Body of the same level can oppose a Great Dao Law Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The degree of completeness in comprehended Great Dao laws determines the perfection of the formed Great Dao Law Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivating the physical body now to strengthen one's flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only benefit after the Immortal Realm is merely to reduce the time required for the transformation of the Great Dao Law Body during the breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1380,"2026-06-12T14:27:00.743Z",1,"Qwen3.5 122B","c58804ee3e1cfc0a980c50a992c8ec352c2dca7e9d2189a57d282d8949d510d3","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-229","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-227",660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-cover.jpg"]
