Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Everyone was stunned, then all turned to look at Xu Jiuyou, their eyes full of disbelief.

"Is the main body you?"

"You're still alive?"

"How are you now?"

Facing everyone's concern and questions, Xu Zhangqing once again spoke through Xu Jiuyou's mouth: "I not only have no problems at all, but even feel a bit..."

Zhu Rong couldn't help but ask further: "A bit what?"

Xu Jiuyou, or rather Xu Zhangqing, twitched the corner of his mouth: "A bit great!"

"Ah?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Rong and the other avatars were all dumbfounded.

They had imagined countless possibilities, such as Xu Zhangqing being severely injured, his divine soul damaged, or trapped in a perilous situation and struggling to hold on, or restrained by the power of the Impure Earth and unable to escape.

Only they never imagined that falling into the Divine Eye of the most ferocious Root God, the Impure Earth God, would actually result in nothing happening.

"Great?"

Zhu Rong scratched his head, his surging crimson flames wilting down, bewildered: "Main body, that's the Impure Earth God's eye!

Logically speaking, isn't the inside all resentment, hostility, and impure earth?"

Tai Bai also retracted his sharp Star Sword Intent; although his brows were slightly furrowed and his heart full of doubt, he also breathed a sigh of relief — as long as the main body is unharmed, everything can be discussed.

Nu Tu and Fenglong glanced at each other, both setting down their worried hearts, their tense expressions relaxing.

Xu Zhangqing didn't offer much explanation, only instructing through Xu Jiuyou: "You all stay outside, do not act rashly, and absolutely do not attack the Impure Earth God recklessly.

Right now, I am inside the Cave Abode, temporarily in no danger.

Once I ascertain the situation, I will naturally rendezvous with you all."

As the sound fell, the spiritual light in Xu Jiuyou's eyes gradually dimmed.

……

……

In the outside world, the Yin River was dead silent, the Impure Earth's might pressing down.

But inside the Divine Eye, it was not the Impure Earth purgatory everyone expected; instead, it concealed a vast Cave Abode with spiritual energy soaring to the heavens.

At the entrance stood an ancient, unadorned blue stone tablet.

On the tablet were engraved five vigorous, ancient characters: Qing Emperor's Back Garden.

Xu Zhangqing stood at the entrance, his aura restrained, his eyes full of shock.

He never in a million years expected that inside the notoriously fierce Impure Earth God, there would actually exist a Qing Emperor's Cave Abode.

Even more unexpected was that this Qing Emperor's Legacy resonated with his Dao rhyme and spiritual roots.

This Cave Abode was very large, its end not visible at a glance.

Called a back garden, in reality it was comparable to a small world.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was so dense it was like spirit rain pouring down.

Xu Zhangqing took a deep breath and felt his Nascent Soul tremble with joy, his magic power circulating at extreme speed — more than a hundred times faster than cultivating in the outside world.

Inside the Cave Abode, spirit plants covered the ground.

Moreover, they were all ancient, immemorial spirit plants of at least ten thousand years' age.

Ordinary thousand-year spirit grasses rarely seen in the outside world were visible everywhere here like weeds.

As for ten-thousand-year-grade spirit plants, they grew in vast patches, of numerous varieties, too many to count.

For instance, near Xu Zhangqing were vast patches of Ten-Thousand-Year Green Heart Bamboo.

The bamboo bodies shimmered with a warm green light; bamboo leaves dripped bamboo dew, each drop a spirit liquid containing life essence, giving birth to spirit grass upon hitting the ground.

Not far away, there were even a thousand mu of Fifth-Grade Spirit Fields containing law power and Dao rhyme.

Planted with Nine Turns Returning Soul Grass, Ten-Thousand-Year Everlasting Flower, One Mu Spirit Fruit, Withering and Flourishing Twin Flower, and also Qing Emperor Spirit Grain that can enhance spiritual root purity.

Every single plant flourished with lush branches and leaves, their spirit pressure overwhelming.

Between petals and leaves flowed spiritual light of laws and Dao rhyme.

Swaying gently, they emitted a refreshing fragrance; smelling it made the divine soul comfortable, and depleted magic power rapidly recovered.

Deeper inside were vast patches of ancient spirit trees.

There were Ten-Thousand-Year Bodhi Wood that could nurture law power, Lingling Wood containing space Dao rhyme, Vajra Iron Wood that could temper the flesh body, and also Withering and Flourishing Ancient Trees that resonated with the Withering and Flourishing Great Dao.

Withering and Flourishing Ancient Tree.

Half lush with branches and leaves, teeming with vitality.

Half withered branches, desolate and heavy.

Truly, a perfect interpretation of the Great Dao truth of withering and flourishing mutually generating.

A Spirit River flowed through the forest, its water clear to the bottom — purely life spirit liquid.

The riverbed was paved with spirit jade and spirit crystals; on the banks grew Twin-Born Dark Lotuses, petals pale green and ink black in pairs, two by two leaning on each other.

Entwined with the dual Dao rhymes of space and life — one look and they were no ordinary things.

At the Cave Abode's core stood an ancient divine tree reaching through heaven and earth.

The trunk was a thousand zhang thick, branches spreading, covering half the Cave Abode.

Above the crown, spirit fruits of every color hung in abundance, each containing vast spiritual power and Dao rhyme.

At the tree's waist stood an ancient, elegant wooden house, entirely crafted from the Qing Emperor Divine Wood, bearing no carving marks yet exuding an innate Dao pressure.

It seemed this was where the Qing Emperor had once entered seclusion and stored his inheritance.

Xu Zhangqing looked on with longing, and harvested some spirit plants.

Harvested one Hundred-Thousand-Year Green Heart Bamboo! Remaining Lifespan +300 years!

Harvested thirty-six Hunhun Grass! Remaining Lifespan +800 years!

Harvested twelve Ten-Thousand-Year Everlasting Flowers! Remaining Lifespan +2000 years!

Harvested Withering and Flourishing Twin Flower! Remaining Lifespan +3000 years, Withering and Flourishing Dao Rhyme +10%!

Current Remaining Lifespan: years

Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing suppressed his excitement, did not continue harvesting, but began to explore.

On the jade stone platform of the tree house, he found the complete version of the "Ten-Thousand-Year Withering and Flourishing Scripture" personally written by the Qing Emperor. This cultivation method of at least the Heaven Rank not only perfected the cultivation path of the Withering and Flourishing Great Dao, but also incorporated the Qing Emperor's unique One Mu Origin Way.

It could draw upon the vitality of heaven and earth with a Wood Spirit Root, transform withering into flourishing, reverse life and death; upon reaching Great Accomplishment, one could forge an undying flesh body with the power of ten thousand trees.

There was also the "Qing Emperor Spirit Control Art," capable of controlling ten thousand spirits and nourishing Spirit Plant Puppets, doubling a puppet's strength, and communicating with the spirits of the earth pulse to borrow its power to resist enemies.

There was also the "One Mu Divine Thunder Art," combining wood-element vitality with divine thunder, making up for the weakness of insufficient attack power in pure wood-element techniques, with might comparable to immortal arts.

In terms of techniques, the harvest was even more abundant.

There was the "Ten-Thousand Trees Return to One Array," using spirit plants as its foundation, capable of resisting attacks from Nascent Soul experts.

There was the "Qing Emperor Escape Art," capable of instant movement among ten thousand trees, with speed far surpassing spatial techniques.

There was the "Ten-Thousand-Year Everlasting Art," capable of healing the divine soul and flesh body, allowing even severe injuries to quickly recover.

There was also the "Wood Realm Sealing Art," capable of sealing space and imprisoning enemies.

These were all top-tier techniques of the Qing Emperor's inheritance, each move containing the true meaning of the Great Dao.

As for magic treasures, several supreme treasures were hidden within the tree house.

The most precious was a "Qing Emperor Spirit Wood Hairpin."

Entirely crafted from the Qing Emperor Divine Wood, containing pure Yi Wood Vitality, it was a False Immortal Artifact.

Runes were carved on the hairpin head; usable for both attack and defense, upon activation it could release Ten Thousand Wood Spirit Vines to imprison enemies, and also nourish the divine soul and improve spiritual root comprehension.

There was also a "Withering and Flourishing Wood Seal," a top-grade magic treasure inscribed with the Withering and Flourishing Great Dao; with one strike it could bring forth ten thousand trees, or wither all things.

There was also a Ten-Thousand Spirit Bag, capable of storing living things, with its own internal space.

There was also a set of Qing Emperor Spirit Robes, woven from Ling S Chan Si, capable of automatically absorbing Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi, automatically repairing itself when damaged, and nourishing the flesh body when unharmed.

Besides this, the tree house also contained notes left behind by the Qing Emperor.

The notes pointed out that this Cave Abode was not bound by Wai Jie rules, was an independent Dongtian Fudi, allowed unrestricted cultivation and array setup, with no need to worry about rule suppression.

Even, if those who entered were willing, they could set up a Teleportation Array.

To put it plainly, the secret realms and Cave Abodes outside all had time limits, and would close when the time came.

But here not only was there no time limit, those who entered could even stay long-term.

However, this Cave Abode was hidden within the Divine Eye of the Tu Soil God; who would dare enter?

Only Xu Zhangqing, having previously entered Qingdi Garden and bearing the Qing Emperor Mark on his person, was not only not devoured by the Tu Soil God, but instead entered the Qing Di Hou Hua Yuan.

If anyone else encountered the Tu Soil God, there would only be one outcome: death of body and extinction of Dao!
