Chapter 1043: Grotto-Heaven Method

Zhenyuanzi knew the potential of this Dao of Earth Deities.

Although Earth Deities are indeed much worse than those Divine Dao powerhouses of the ancient primordial era, the Divine Dao was for those naturally born sacred beings who held the laws and rules of the myriad races of heaven and earth.

That is to say, they replaced the Heavenly Dao in holding the laws of operation of all things in heaven and earth.

It can be said that they were very powerful. The entire ancient primordial era was really too long. Even though he, Zhenyuanzi, took form in the early ancient era, he still did not know much about the secrets of the ancient primordial era.

It seems as if in the late ancient primordial era, there was a powerful force that cut off the ancient primordial era.

In the ancient primordial era, the Dragon and Phoenix three clans actually only came out when it was almost over.

Perhaps the patriarch of the Dragon clan might have been active in the middle and late ancient primordial era, but the Ancestral Dragon at that time was actually not much of a powerhouse.

In the late ancient primordial era, the Heavenly Dao was born, and those previous Divine Dao powerhouses disappeared one by one.

But from some traces left behind, the sacred beings of the ancient primordial era were far more powerful than these innate Great Supernatural Beings like them.

Holding the laws and operating on behalf of heaven—is this not the same as a Saint?

In the Saint era, were those six Saints not operating all things in the Primordial World on behalf of the Heavenly Dao?

It is just that the number of the six Saints is far less than those Divine Dao deities of the ancient primordial era.

In the Divine Dao era, those innate sacred beings were powerful, and he, this Earth Deity, naturally could not compare at all.

But in terms of potential, it is also not low.

If one can really cultivate this Dao of Earth Deities to the peak and develop a spirit land into a Grotto-Heaven world, then this person's strength can definitely reach the Quasi-Saint level.

Zhenyuanzi also tried this.

With his Wuzhuang Temple as the foundation, the power of this Wuzhuang Temple, once condensed, is enough to rival the power of a Quasi-Saint level.

Of course, because of the Grotto-Heaven, ordinary cultivators can only exert their powerful strength within the Grotto-Heaven. Once they are far away from the Grotto-Heaven world, their strength will also drop significantly.

In fact, for this Dao of Earth Deities, Zhenyuanzi eventually imitated the Saints using Primordial Purple Qi—one used Primordial Purple Qi as a bridge for their primordial spirit, eventually imprinting it in the Heavenly Dao to become a Heavenly Dao Saint.

The other is to merge one's own primordial spirit with that spirit domain, and then continuously expand the spirit domain, making the spirit domain transform into a world, becoming a Blessed Land or Grotto-Heaven world.

Once the spirit domain transforms into a Grotto-Heaven world, it is equivalent to this Earth Deity being able to completely control a small Grotto-Heaven world.

Although this small Grotto-Heaven world is still much worse than the world opened by a Saint and cannot give birth to living beings by itself, it is still a world. Controlling a small world, the condensed power is enough to rival a Quasi-Saint.

And as the Grotto-Heaven world continues to evolve, it is not impossible for it to transform into a small world, a small thousand world, a great thousand world, and even finally transform into a world like the Primordial World in the future.

It definitely has infinite potential.

Of course, for the time being, the Dao of Earth Deities deduced by Zhenyuanzi can only transform into a Grotto-Heaven world.

And if one wants to transform a spirit domain into a world, one also needs a spiritual root. A Blessed Land or Grotto-Heaven is a world, and a world needs to evolve the clear and turbid qi of heaven and earth.

This makes heaven and earth separate, and this requires a powerful pillar.

Back then, the Great God Pangu opened the Primordial World, making the clear and turbid heaven and earth stand apart, by the method of his own head supporting the sky and his feet stepping on the earth.

For the Dao of Earth Deities, when a spirit domain transforms into a world, it naturally does not need this, but it also needs a pillar.

And the method Zhenyuanzi thought of is to use a spiritual root to act as the pillar that separates the clear and turbid heaven and earth, just like that Tongtian Jianmu.

Moreover, when the Blessed Land evolves into a Grotto-Heaven in the future, it will need an innate spiritual root even more, because only an innate spiritual root can absorb the chaos qi and transform it into innate spiritual qi to operate the Grotto-Heaven world.

Zhenyuanzi has calculated and planned this step by step.

However, although the potential is infinite, the difficulty is very great.

There are many spirit lands, but it is extremely difficult to optimize and evolve this spirit land into a spirit domain step by step. Even for one person to want to do it, it is almost very difficult.

It requires the support of huge power behind it. After all, the current Primordial Earth Immortal World is no longer what it was in the ancient era.

Building a spirit domain is certainly not that easy, and even 90% of cultivators who embark on the Dao of Earth Deities will not be able to build a spirit domain.

But even so, it can give some loose cultivators hope.

After all, once clearing the earth veins is successful, the Heavenly Dao will always bestow a little reward.

Even transforming an ordinary piece of land into a spirit land is a benefit to heaven and earth, and one can get a reward. Not to mention that the stronger the spirit land, the more feedback it will have for the Earth Deity who cultivates it.

Not to mention anything else, the feedback of spiritual qi can also enhance magic power. Moreover, once the spirit land is improved, planting some spirit plants for production can be traded for the cultivation resources one needs.

It can be said to be killing several birds with one stone.

This Dao of Earth Deities must have many benefits. The only possible disadvantage is that those who cultivate the Dao of Earth Deities in the future will spend more time managing the spirit land, so their own cultivation will certainly be neglected.

By then, once they cannot build the spirit domain, their own primordial spirit cannot merge with the spirit domain, they cannot use the power of the spirit domain, and their own cultivation is not enough, then what will the outcome be? It can only be to the benefit of others.

So the disadvantages are also very obvious.

Perhaps it might scare off some cultivators.

But whether it is Zhenyuanzi or Su Fan, they both know that the world of immortal cultivation does not lack those brave people.

Therefore, there is no need to worry that no one will cultivate the Dao of Earth Deities.

Zhenyuanzi was constantly explaining the tricks of this Dao of Earth Deities in detail, and he did not hide anything from Su Fan and the other two.

Especially Su Fan, after all, much of this Dao of Earth Deities came from the secret methods Su Fan brought out before. It was only after the hints of these secret methods that he realized and comprehended this technique.

"Senior Zhenyuanzi, the junior has a question. You said that if someone cultivates this Dao and eventually opens up a Grotto-Heaven world, and their primordial spirit merges into this world, then in the future, they will have to live and die with this Grotto-Heaven world forever."

"If the Grotto-Heaven world is destroyed, wouldn't they be finished too?"

Cultivating the Dao, especially the Immortal Dao, values freedom. If one is trapped with the Grotto-Heaven world, even if one cultivates with the help of the Grotto-Heaven world and has strength comparable to a Quasi-Saint in the future.

But this also gives the enemy a chance, especially when encountering some enemies who are a few notches stronger than oneself. In the past, if one couldn't beat them, one could still run.

But now, because the primordial spirit and the Grotto-Heaven world are compatible, once the enemy attacks the Grotto-Heaven, wouldn't one be finished too?

Zhenyuanzi had not thought of this point either. Hearing Su Fan's inquiry, he was obviously stunned.

"Little guy, the things you consider are always so strange."

"You worry that someone will attack the Grotto-Heaven. You don't think about it—a Grotto-Heaven, wanting to be destroyed from the outside, is it that easy?"

Dayu said with a smile and shook his head. ===== CHAPTER 1044 =====
