Chapter 214

The other flowers, grass, and trees on the island also became even more lush and verdant, brimming with vigorous vitality.

Even the domestic animals and poultry raised there in ordinary times seemed to become more lively and robust, and their meat even more delicious and palatable.

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

The light pillars shooting up to the heavens also slowly faded away.

The scales and armor of the flood dragon used to form the array, as well as the jade-colored turtle shell serving as the core of the array eye, silently merged into the earth and spiritual veins of Taohuadao, leaving not the slightest trace visible.

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

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

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

It was no longer an ordinary island of the mortal world!

But a true, well-deserved — Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land! An Immortal Secret Realm!

The crowd watched the black flood 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 looks they cast at Ning Chuan were as if gazing up at a true deity who controlled heaven and earth and created all things!

Ning Chuan, seeing the crowd's dumbfounded, dreamlike expressions, merely smiled faintly and spoke with a majestic voice:

"This is the 【Universe Spirit-Gathering Great Array】 I have set up, capable of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a thousand li, nourishing the island and assisting cultivation."

"Now that the array has just been formed, the gathered spiritual energy is at its most dense; this is a cultivation opportunity that comes once in a thousand years."

"You all, why do you not quickly seize this opportunity, stabilize your minds, and increase your cultivation base?!"

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

Huang Rong, Wang Yuyan, Qu Qu Lingfeng, Zhou Botong, and others, upon hearing this, all trembled throughout their bodies, their eyes bursting with incomparably brilliant light!

Daring not to be negligent in the slightest, they hurriedly each found a place where the spiritual energy was most dense, sat cross-legged, activated their own Cultivation Method, and began to frantically absorb and refine the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth surrounding them!

Even the Old Foolish Child Zhou Botong, rarely, put aside his playful heart and began to cultivate with a Solemn expression.

He could clearly feel that cultivating within this Spiritual Qi environment yielded results more than several times better than at any time in his past!

Gui Xuan was the same; its massive body lurking in the water pool opened its huge mouth, relying on the beast's instinct, frantically swallowing and inhaling the pure spiritual energy that had merged into the water.

Its heart was filled with endless emotion and relief.

It had cultivated in the deep sea for thousands of years yet had never encountered such a tremendous opportunity.

Now, merely by submitting to this mysterious flood dragon island master, it could enjoy a Cultivation environment like a Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land.

This time, it had truly... bet correctly!

Ning Chuan, seeing the crowd's enraptured, deeply devoted cultivation expressions, revealed a smile of A hint of expectation on his face.

His massive flood dragon body slowly descended to the center of Taohuadao, the location where the jade-colored turtle shell he had previously used to suppress the array core was situated.

It was seen that the tree, which had originally been just an ordinary peach tree, after being nourished by the spiritual energy of the Universe Spirit-Gathering Great Array and that jade-colored turtle shell.

Had undergone a shocking transformation in such a short time!

Its trunk had become even thicker and more upright, reaching a height of ten zhang, like a giant umbrella holding up the sky!

Its branches and leaves had also become even more lush and verdant; every leaf seemed carved from jade, emitting a faint spiritual light!

Even among the lush branches and leaves, there were faintly several peach blossom buds about to bloom, their color more gorgeous than ordinary peach blossoms, and even more... vivid!

Ning Chuan gazed carefully at this peach tree that had undergone an initial transformation, a flash of A hint of expectation appearing in his eyes.

"This peach tree, having absorbed the spiritual nature of the turtle shell and the nourishment of the Spirit-Gathering Array, has already initially taken on the appearance of a spiritual root."

"Perhaps... in the near future, it will truly completely shed its mortal shell and transform into a true spiritual tree."

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

For Taohuadao, this was undoubtedly another tremendous benefit.

He thought no more; his massive flood dragon body slowly coiled beneath this peach tree that had already initially taken on spiritual nature.

He activated the 【Nine Tribulations Dragon-Transformation Method】 and the 【Northern Dark Moon-Swallowing Technique】.

And began to frantically absorb and refine the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which had reached an extreme density!

Rolling five-colored spiritual energy, as if drawn by a force, turned into massive tornadoes, flowing endlessly into his body!

The effect of his cultivation had increased by more than ten times compared to his usual cultivation!

After a short while.

Ning Chuan opened his pair of pale golden dragon eyes with surprise!

He could clearly feel that the pitch-black flood dragon core within his dantian sea of qi, after absorbing such vast and pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

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

The demonic power contained within had also become even more pure and mighty!

"Excellent! Very excellent!" Ning Chuan's heart was filled with joy he could hardly suppress!

"With the help of the 【Northern Dark Moon-Swallowing Technique】 and the 【Universe Spirit-Gathering Great Array】, plus my own heaven-defying comprehension!"

"I fear that within less than a year, I will be able to completely reverse-cultivate the flood dragon core in my body to perfection and successfully trigger the second tribulation of shape-shifting!"

"If, during this period, I can obtain some other heavenly treasures and earthly wonders or powerful strange species to assist, this time might even be shortened further!"

He was filled with infinite Confidence and expectation for his future!

He closed his eyes once more, immersing himself in deep-level cultivation.

Three days later.

When the Universe Spirit-Gathering Great Array was first formed, that most dense and pure "A hint of expectation" spiritual energy was gradually absorbed and refined to completion by the crowd.

Although the overall spiritual energy density on Taohuadao still far exceeded that of the outside world, compared to the first few days, it had slightly declined.

Ning Chuan slowly awoke from cultivation.

He gazed inward at his own body and discovered that the demonic power within him had advanced considerably once again.

Although there is still some distance before the Dragon Pill is completely perfect and can trigger the Dragon Tribulation,

his cultivation base has quietly reached the peak, equivalent to the first transformation of the Human Martial Grandmaster Realm!

He is only one step away from the Realm of Turning!

Such progress speed, if the martial artists of the outside world were to learn of it, would probably make their jaws drop!

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

Under the nourishment of this dense spiritual energy, and with the help of Brother Ning Chuan's previous guidance,

each of their cultivation realms broke through by one or two minor realms, varying from person to person!

Especially Huang Rong; she was already of peerless talent, and had consumed Brother Ning Chuan's Dragon Essence Blood, as well as that Nine-Turn Creation Fake Pill.

After three days of unceasing, sleepless cultivation,

her true cultivation base actually surged into the fourth transformation of the Innate Realm!

Although there is still some distance to the Grandmaster Realm, given her current age and cultivation, even without using the power of that Fake Pill,

she is already enough to be considered a genuine small expert on the Jianghu!

"We thank the Island Lord for the grace of rebirth! Such a great favor, we will never forget in this life!"

After finishing their cultivation, Qu Qu Lingfeng and the others came together before Brother Ning Chuan and bowed their heads respectfully in gratitude.

They knew that without Brother Ning Chuan, they would likely have no hope of reaching their current realm in this lifetime.

Brother Ning Chuan merely nodded lightly, told them to rise, and urged them to cultivate diligently, not to squander this opportunity.

The successful arrangement of the Universe Gathering Spiritual Array caused a subtle transformation throughout Taohuadao.

The air on the island became even fresher and more pleasant.

The flowers, grass, trees, and plants also became greener and more vibrant, brimming with vigorous life.

Even the spring water they drank daily seemed to have become sweeter and more refreshing, containing traces of faint spiritual energy.

The domesticated livestock and poultry raised on the island also saw their meat become more delicious and flavorful, with endless taste.

The entire Taohuadao was slowly evolving toward the direction of a true Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land, an Immortal Secret Realm.

This filled everyone on the island with endless longing and expectation for the future.

Another ten days passed.

Relying on the vast residual energy accumulated from previously devouring that strange Dark-Gold Giant Crab and the Deep-Sea Giant Python,

and the continuous supply of pure spiritual energy provided by the Universe Gathering Spiritual Array,

Brother Ning Chuan finally broke through the bottleneck naturally and successfully, reaching the realm equivalent to the second transformation of the Human Martial Grandmaster Realm!

As for combat power, it was even more terrifying!

The demonic energy within his body thus became even more pure and immense!

His control over his own power also became even more effortless and skillful!
