Chapter 50: Development Plan

Not only that.

With the combination of the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land, Ye Qingxuan's spiritual root growth speed increased dramatically.

Originally, relying solely on the Blessed Land, he estimated it would take a thousand years to condense a second spiritual root.

But now, he only needs three hundred years to condense a second spiritual root.

With the dual assistance of the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land, Ye Qingxuan's cultivation speed would far exceed others' imagination, and even his talent improvement speed would accelerate.

Besides these, the Grotto-Heaven had another function: it could condense a World Gate.

Ye Qingxuan made a slight gesture, and a illusory portal appeared in his palm; this was the World Gate condensed by the Grotto-Heaven.

A first-rank Grotto-Heaven could condense one World Gate; with each subsequent rank advancement, one additional World Gate could be condensed.

By placing the World Gate in the outside world, as long as one remained within the scope of the Earth-Primordial Realm, one could enter the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven through the World Gate at any time.

Forcing himself to endure the pain, Ye Qingxuan exerted all his strength to circulate the cultivation secret technique of the Earth Immortal Body!

He only needed to gradually perfect his cultivation method later as the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land grew.

Having made a decision in his heart and confirmed his future development path!

Leveraging the power of the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land, Ye Qingxuan planted most of the spiritual plant seeds or seedlings he had previously collected into the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land.

Therefore, after Ye Qingxuan broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm, he could maintain his appearance indefinitely!

Regarding the bead that had traveled with him from another world, Ye Qingxuan had always held high expectations.

Perhaps due to the fusion of the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven and the Eternal Turtle, the first-rank Earth Immortal Body Ye Qingxuan cultivated not only possessed astonishing physical strength but could also unleash the power of a Qi Refining peak.

In a short while, Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly and said joyfully:

"A simplified version of Ten Thousand Methods Cannot Invade?"

Each region of the Earth-Primordial Realm possessed its own unique heavenly treasures and earthly wonders; if the trade routes between regions could be smoothly opened, it would bring Ye Qingxuan enormous profits.

The Earth Immortal Method he comprehended, besides absorbing spiritual energy to increase his cultivation base, primarily focused on cultivating the hidden small universe within the human body, gradually perfecting and evolving his own small universe according to the operational rules of the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land.

To accumulate a foundation for breaking through to higher realms in the future!

Standing up, Ye Qingxuan's figure became even more perfect, adding a sense of ethereal grace to his already handsome appearance!

Cultivators themselves aged relatively slowly; after Foundation Establishment, they could even maintain their youthful appearance indefinitely.

Looking at the World Gate in his hand, Ye Qingxuan's eyes revealed a thoughtful expression:

"Perhaps, in the future, I can use the World Gate to build a trade platform spanning all regions of the Earth-Primordial Realm!"

Making Ye Qingxuan's appearance look like a human-shaped mosaic.

One month later, Ye Qingxuan's body was completely reorganized, and the first-rank Earth Immortal Body was successfully condensed.

"Sss!"

Because he had condensed an Immortal Soul, Ye Qingxuan's comprehension was heaven-defying; in just three days, he comprehended the rough prototype of his own cultivation method.

This force constantly decomposed Ye Qingxuan's body, breaking the molecular structure of his flesh, and then began to reorganize it under the secret technique of the Earth Immortal Body.

Even so, Ye Qingxuan could only force himself not to scream in heart-wrenching pain, completely unable to control the ferocious expression on his face.

This pain was a thousand to ten thousand times more intense than being sliced into a thousand pieces!

If not for years of cultivation strengthening Ye Qingxuan's nerves, combined with the Immortal Soul suppressing everything, Ye Qingxuan absolutely could not have persisted.

After receiving the series of gains brought by this opening of the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land, Ye Qingxuan stretched and said:

"This bead truly did not disappoint me!"

This way, the progress of his cultivation of the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land could be greatly accelerated.

Among them were the Spirit Gathering Grass, Spirit Purifying Tree, and Earth Spirit Flower that Ye Qingxuan had previously collected!

These three spiritual plants were quite special; if sufficient time and energy were spent continuously cultivating them, they could be cultivated up to the tenth rank.

As long as the rank of the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land increased later and the Earth Immortal Body continued to transform, it would eventually unleash astonishing effects.

After completing the cultivation of his method, Ye Qingxuan did not leave his seclusion but instead resumed cultivating the Earth Immortal Body.

The moment he came into contact with this force, Ye Qingxuan immediately grimaced in pain.

As for the name of the method, Ye Qingxuan did not choose another; he simply called it the Earth Immortal Method.

Now, with the help of the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven, the spiritual plants in the Qingxuan Blessed Land could also smoothly grow to the third rank, no longer needing to carefully restrict the plants' ranks like other Blessed Land cultivators.

But this also indirectly increased Ye Qingxuan's foundation, accumulating for his future breakthroughs to higher realms; moreover, this was only a first-rank Earth Immortal Body.

Although for Ye Qingxuan, who was already in the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm, the assistance of a first-rank Earth Immortal Body was not significant.

Ye Qingxuan, who had been sitting cross-legged, slightly opened his eyes, revealing the strange phenomenon of a galaxy flowing within them!

However, the trade platform was of great importance; without sufficient strength to suppress everything, it would only invite huge risks, so it needed to be planned gradually in the future.

Through the power of the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land, Ye Qingxuan moved himself to the intersection of the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land's origins, beginning to use the energy generated by their intersection to temper his body.

As time flowed, Ye Qingxuan had long since become numb to the pain, able only to instinctively continuously circulate the secret technique of the Earth Immortal Body and the Earth Immortal Method he had comprehended.

It was not the origin feedback actively given by the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land's advancement, which required Ye Qingxuan to refine it through his spiritual roots to convert into cultivation base; therefore, even though Ye Qingxuan was constantly circulating the Earth Immortal Method, its effect on increasing his cultivation base was very limited.

After the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land were fully formed and mutually blended!

Ye Qingxuan began to follow the secret techniques in the Earth Immortal inheritance to generate a sense of unity between heaven and earth with the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land, comprehending their operation and deriving his own cultivation method.

He simultaneously circulated the Earth Immortal Method he had just comprehended and the secret technique for cultivating the Earth Immortal Body, absorbing the special origin produced by the fusion of the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land's origins to continuously strengthen his own body.

But a cultivator's appearance is merely external; as long as the cultivator wishes, they can return to their peak state and appearance at any time.

It was just that as time passed, a cultivator's state of mind, after being washed by the years, might cause their appearance to change along with their state of mind.

After switching to the Earth Immortal Method he had comprehended, perhaps because the method was more compatible, Ye Qingxuan discovered his cultivation speed had increased by thirty percent!

Moreover, the condensation speed of the second spiritual root also accelerated, reducing the originally estimated three hundred years to two hundred years.

Taking a step, Ye Qingxuan returned to the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven and began to feel the characteristics of his first-rank Earth Immortal Body.

The rank of spiritual plants is related to their age, but not significantly; what truly affects a spiritual plant's rank is the origin energy contained within it!

Therefore, whether increasing cultivation base or cultivating the Earth Immortal Body, both are closely related to the development of the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land.

But Ye Qingxuan's physique continued to transform!

Under the secret technique of the Earth Immortal Body, the energy from the fusion of numerous Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands was drawn by the technique into the mustard-seed space deep within Ye Qingxuan's flesh, becoming nourishment for bodily evolution, constantly absorbed by the human universe and cells.

Finally, Ye Qingxuan cast the Spring Breeze and Nourishing Rain Technique on all the spiritual plants, ensuring the newly planted varieties could survive smoothly.

It also possessed the Eternal Turtle's characteristic of immunity to all techniques; however, as a first-rank Earth Immortal Body, it could only immune against all spell attacks at the Qi Refining realm and halve the power of spell attacks at the Foundation Establishment realm.

Ye Qingxuan's main development direction henceforth would be to focus on advancing and developing the Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands.

He did not expect the surprises the bead brought him to still exceed his expectations.

The combination of his innate clone, the Eternal Turtle, and the Earth Immortal inheritance was enough to launch him skyward; with the aid of the Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands, his path to the Great Dao was truly promising.
