Chapter 132

The other flowers, plants, and trees on the island also became greener and more vibrant, filled with vigorous vitality.

Even the livestock and poultry raised in daily life seemed to become more lively and robust, and their meat became even more delicious and tasty.

As time passed, the various phenomena shrouding the sky above Taohuadao gradually dissipated.

Those pillars of light shooting into the sky also slowly faded away.

The dragon scales used to set up the array, as well as the jade-colored turtle shell that served as the core of the array eye, also silently merged into the land and spiritual veins of Taohuadao, leaving no trace behind.

The entire Taohuadao, on the surface, seemed to have returned to its former tranquility and peace.

But, whether it was the people on the island, the flowers, plants, and trees, or the rich spiritual energy permeating the air.

All were silently proclaiming that this overseas immortal island had undergone a earth-shattering transformation!

It was no longer a mortal island!

But a true, well-deserved—blessed land! An immortal secret realm!

Everyone looked at the black dragon slowly descending from mid-air, still radiating endless majesty and divine aura.

The shock and awe in their hearts had already reached an unprecedented peak!

The way they looked at Ning Chuan was as if they were looking up at a true god who controlled heaven and earth and created all things!

Ning Chuan looked at everyone’s dumbfounded, dream-like appearance, smiled faintly, and said in a majestic voice:

"This is the [Heaven and Earth Spirit-Gathering Array] I have set up, which can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a thousand miles to nourish the island and assist in cultivation."

"Now that the array is complete, the spiritual energy is at its most concentrated, which is a once-in-a-thousand-years cultivation opportunity."

"Why don’t you hurry up and seize the opportunity to stabilize your minds and improve your cultivation?!"

His voice, like a morning bell and evening drum, rang in everyone’s ears, waking them from their shock.

Huang Rong, Wang Wang Yuyan, Qu Qu Lingfeng, Zhou Zhou Botong, and others, hearing this, were all shaken, their eyes erupting with incomparably brilliant light!

They dared not be the least bit negligent, hurriedly finding a place where the spiritual energy was most concentrated, sitting cross-legged, operating their own cultivation methods, and beginning to frantically absorb and refine the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth around them!

Even the Old Urchin Zhou Zhou Botong rarely put away his playful heart and began to cultivate with a solemn face.

He could clearly feel that cultivating in this rich spiritual environment was several times more effective than ever before!

Gui Xuan was the same; its massive body lurked in the water pool, opening its huge mouth, and relying on the instincts of a demonic beast, it frantically swallowed the pure spiritual energy that had merged into the water.

Its heart was filled with endless emotion and relief.

Thinking that it had cultivated in the deep sea for thousands of years without encountering such immense good fortune.

Now, just by submitting to this mysterious dragon Island Master, it could enjoy such a blessed land-like cultivation environment.

This time, it had truly... bet on the right one!

Ning Chuan watched everyone’s intoxicated and diligent cultivation, a look of gratification on his face.

His massive dragon body slowly landed in the center of Taohuadao, at the location of the jade-colored turtle shell he had used to suppress the core of the array eye.

It could be seen that what was originally just an ordinary peach tree, after being nourished by the spiritual energy of the Heaven and Earth Spirit-Gathering Array and the jade-colored turtle shell.

Had actually undergone an astonishing transformation in a short period of time!

Its trunk had become thicker and more upright, reaching ten zhang in height, like a giant umbrella supporting the sky!

Its branches and leaves had also become greener and more vibrant, every leaf looking as if it had been carved from jade, radiating faint spiritual light!

Even among the lush branches and leaves, there were faintly a few peach blossom buds about to bloom, their colors more vivid and... lively than ordinary peach blossoms!

Ning Chuan stared carefully at this peach tree that had undergone its initial transformation, a look of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"This peach tree, having absorbed the spirituality of the turtle shell and the nourishment of the Spirit-Gathering Array, has already begun to show the appearance of a spiritual root."

"Perhaps... in the near future, it will truly be able to shed its mortal shell and become a true spiritual tree."

"By then, the peach blossoms and peaches it bears will certainly contain pure spiritual energy and become true spiritual fruits and immortal flowers!"

This was undoubtedly another immense benefit for Taohuadao.

He thought no more and slowly coiled his massive dragon body under this peach tree that had begun to show spirituality.

Operating the [Nine Tribulations Dragon Transformation Method] and the [Northern Dark Moon-Swallowing Technique].

He began to frantically absorb and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him, which was rich to the extreme!

The rolling multi-colored spiritual energy, as if guided, turned into huge tornadoes, continuously pouring into his body!

The effect of his cultivation was more than ten times better than his usual cultivation!

A moment later.

Ning Chuan opened his pale-gold dragon pupils in surprise!

He could clearly feel that the mysterious black dragon pill in his dantian, after absorbing such massive and pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Had its speed of condensation and transformation greatly accelerated once again!

The demonic power contained within had also become purer and more vast!

"Very good! Very good indeed!" Ning Chuan’s heart was filled with irrepressible joy!

"With the help of this [Northern Dark Moon-Swallowing Technique] and the [Heaven and Earth Spirit-Gathering Array], plus my own heaven-defying comprehension!"

"I’m afraid that in less than a year, I will be able to completely reverse-cultivate the dragon pill within my body to perfection and successfully trigger the second tribulation—the Transformation Tribulation!"

"If I can obtain some other heavenly treasures or the help of powerful strange species during this period, this time might be shortened even further!"

He was filled with infinite confidence and anticipation for his future!

He closed his eyes again and immersed himself in deep cultivation.

Three days later.

When the Heaven and Earth Spirit-Gathering Array was first completed, the "welfare period" of the most concentrated and pure spiritual energy was gradually absorbed and refined by everyone.

Although the overall spiritual energy concentration on Taohuadao was still far beyond the outside world, it had fallen back slightly compared to the first few days.

Ning Chuan slowly woke up from his cultivation.

He looked within himself and found that the demonic power in his body had improved significantly once again.

Although there was still some distance to go before the dragon pill was completely perfect and triggered the dragon tribulation.

His cultivation realm had already quietly reached the peak of the first turn of a human martial arts Grandmaster!

It was only one step away from the second turn realm!

If the martial artists outside knew of this speed of progress, they would probably be shocked to the point of dropping their jaws!

And the gains of Huang Rong, Qu Qu Lingfeng, and the others were equally huge!

Under the nourishment of this rich spiritual energy and the help of Ning Chuan’s previous guidance.

Their respective cultivation realms had each broken through one or two small realms!

Especially Huang Rong, who was already peerlessly talented and had taken Ning Chuan’s dragon essence blood and that nine-turn creation fake pill.

After three days of tireless hard cultivation.

Her true cultivation realm had actually reached the fourth turn of the Innate realm in one go!

Although there was still some distance to the Grandmaster realm, given her current age and cultivation, even without using the power of that fake pill.

She was enough to be considered a true little expert in the martial arts world!

"We thank the Island Master for the grace of rebirth! This great kindness will never be forgotten!"

After their cultivation ended, Qu Qu Lingfeng and the others came to Ning Chuan together and kowtowed respectfully in gratitude.

They knew that if it weren’t for Ning Chuan, they would likely have no hope of reaching their current realm in this lifetime.

Ning Chuan just nodded faintly, telling them to get up and cultivate diligently, and not to waste this opportunity.

The successful setup of the Heaven and Earth Spirit-Gathering Array had caused the entire Taohuadao to undergo a subtle transformation.

The air on the island had become fresher and more pleasant.

The flowers, plants, and trees had become greener and more vibrant, filled with vigorous vitality.

Even the spring water they drank daily seemed to have become clearer and sweeter, containing a trace of faint spiritual energy.

The meat of the livestock and poultry raised on the island had also become more delicious and tasty, with endless flavor.

The entire Taohuadao was slowly evolving toward a true blessed land and immortal secret realm.

This made everyone on the island filled with infinite longing and anticipation for the future.

Another ten days passed.

Ning Chuan, with the help of the massive energy aftermath accumulated from devouring that strange dark-gold giant crab and the deep-sea giant python.

And the pure spiritual energy continuously provided by the Heaven and Earth Spirit-Gathering Array.

Finally, as a matter of course, he successfully broke through the bottleneck and reached the realm equivalent to the second turn of a human martial arts Grandmaster!

As for combat power, it was even more terrifying!

The demonic power in his body had also become purer and more vast because of this!

His control over his own power had also become more handy!
