Chapter 895: Untitled
"Many thanks to Zhenyuanzi Daxian for your guidance; this junior is deeply grateful."
This exchange between the two sides lasted for half a month.
During these fifteen days, Su Fan's gains were immense; at the beginning, Su Fan explained the Starlight Essence Extraction Array and the Rich Earth Vein Method, while Zhenyuanzi asked questions continuously throughout.
The later part of the exchange consisted of Su Fan asking for advice in return regarding the many problems he encountered in his cultivation, as well as some doubts concerning his comprehension of the laws.
Zhenyuanzi answered each of Su Fan's questions one by one; it could be said that once Su Fan fully absorbed this exchange, his cultivation realm would absolutely skyrocket.
This was a powerhouse at the Quasi-Saint level providing detailed answers to his cultivation perplexities.
Such an opportunity is very difficult to encounter again.
It is even rarer than listening to a Great Supernatural Being preach the Dao.
After all, when a Great Supernatural Being preaches, there is much you cannot understand, or only half-understand, whereas the former involves detailed answers to your specific doubts.
Over these fifteen days, many problems Su Fan had encountered in his cultivation suddenly became clear, and his realm naturally ascended to the Heavenly Immortal stage.
He had not even noticed this point himself; he had simply broken through.
Therefore, Su Fan was naturally sincerely grateful to Zhenyuanzi, though he also knew that what Zhenyuanzi valued were the two methods he had obtained from that deity in the Great Qin World.
During the exchange, Su Fan also roughly understood that this Zhenyuanzi Daxian primarily cultivated the Earthly Dao, which is the Earth Dao.
His two secret methods were aimed at Earth Veins, especially the second method: using humans to nourish the earth to strengthen the power of Earth Veins, which is to say, increasing the earth.
This is a deed of merit to the heavens and earth.
His own strength was insufficient, but with Zhenyuanzi's strength, it would not just affect one region; it would likely be comparable to Nuwa Mending Heaven.
This is a great Merit.
When the time comes for the heavens and earth to bestow Merit, he, as the originator, would naturally not be forgotten and would also be able to share in the glory.
Zhenyuanzi would certainly take the lion's share, a point Su Fan was clear about, but Su Fan did not care at all.
Without Zhenyuanzi, relying solely on himself, he could at most nourish one region, and the effect would not be very strong.
But Zhenyuanzi is different; Zhenyuanzi is a powerhouse at the Quasi-Saint Peak who cultivates the Earth Dao himself. By setting up the Great Array and using the Earth Nourishing Method, he could nourish and restore the shattered Earth Veins of the Earth Immortal World to some extent.
It is perhaps unrealistic to say it could be restored to how it was before the Investiture of the Gods, but being able to nourish the earth and make it increasingly profound would also play a strong role in stabilizing the space of the Earth Immortal World.
The thicker the earth, the harder it is to break, and the Spirit Veins deep underground would be harder to destroy; the benefits to the heavens and earth are self-evident.
It may not be re-creating the heavens and earth, but at least it could repair some of the shattered land.
The Merit would naturally descend in massive quantities; even if it did not reach the level of Nuwa Mending Heaven back then, it would not be far off.
At that time, it would depend on the extent to which Zhenyuanzi could repair the earth of the Earth Immortal World.
Su Fan himself lacked this ability; following behind Zhenyuanzi to drink a bit of the soup would be enough to fill him up.
Moreover, Su Fan bringing out these two secret methods was an act of merit toward Zhenyuanzi's attainment of the Dao.
The latter's Earth Book also had the possibility of advancing at this moment.
Zhenyuanzi did not hide this either.
He even took out the Earth Book to let Su Fan personally perceive it.
The Earth Book was the second Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Su Fan had come into contact with so far.
For those who cultivate the Earth Law or the Law of Earth, this thing is absolutely the treasure of treasures.
Once one can use this Earth Book to comprehend the Earth Law, it can be said that it becomes much easier.
However, Innate Spiritual Treasures like the Earth Book are extremely rare throughout the Honghuang; those who can possess Innate Spiritual Treasures are all Great Supernatural Beings.
Naturally, they do not care much, but for someone like Su Fan, the help provided by the Earth Book is truly too great.
He felt that the Universe Mirror was certainly above the Earth Book, but the key was that he could not refine the Universe Mirror at all; he could not even find the Divine Prohibitions inside, so how could he talk about comprehending it?
The Earth Book is different; the Earth Book had long been refined by Zhenyuanzi, so he could reveal the Innate Divine Prohibitions within the Earth Book for Su Fan to comprehend.
However, now that the forty-ninth Innate Divine Prohibition of the Earth Book was about to be derived, it could not be lent to Su Fan at this time; Zhenyuanzi needed to nourish it personally to accelerate the derivation of the forty-ninth Innate Divine Prohibition.
Of course, Zhenyuanzi had also promised that once the Earth Book derived this final Innate Divine Prohibition, he would give it to Su Fan to comprehend for five hundred years.
Comprehending it for five hundred years would likely allow Su Fan's realm to improve by a large margin.
This Earth Book is Zhenyuanzi's companion spiritual treasure, even the spiritual treasure upon which his Dao Fruit is entrusted; it is extraordinary.
He had never lent it to an outsider.
Yet now he had promised to lend it to Su Fan to comprehend the Innate Divine Prohibitions within.
Dayu, who was on the side, was also shocked upon hearing this, and he muttered in his heart whether Zhenyuanzi intended to treat that kid as his successor.
Otherwise, why would he lend his own Earth Book to Su Fan for comprehension?
This is equivalent to opening up his own Dao Fruit.
But immediately, he also felt happy for Su Fan; although it was only for five hundred years of comprehension, this Earth Book would be an Innate Supreme Treasure in the future.
Forty-nine Innate Divine Prohibitions—that is an Innate Supreme Treasure; there are likely none left in the entire Earth Immortal World now.
The few Innate Supreme Treasures that exist are all in the hands of the Saints, and now that the Saints have left the Honghuang Dixian Jie, they will inevitably take them away.
After all, the Chaos World is very dangerous; those Heavenly Dao Saints, once they leave the Honghuang world, will have their cultivation drop and will no longer be in the Saint realm.
If they lack Innate Supreme Treasures, their strength will only be weaker, perhaps even inferior to Zhenyuanzi and the others.
For example, the Zunti Shengren of the Western Sect; among the Six Saints, his strength is the lowest.
Before becoming a Saint, he was only at the Quasi-Saint Mid-stage; relying on the Hongmeng Purple Qi to reach the Saint realm in one go resulted in his strength being at the bottom among the Saints.
Even some top-tier Quasi-Saint Peak powerhouses could fight him.
Back then, Kong Xuan, that son of the phoenix, fought many rounds with him, and the other party had to expend quite a bit of effort.
Having been a Saint for these years, his realm has certainly improved a lot, but without the position of a Heavenly Dao Saint, his cultivation realm would not be stronger than Zhenyuanzi's.
After all, back then, Zhenyuanzi's cultivation and realm were both superior to his.
Now Zhenyuanzi has also reached the Quasi-Saint Peak, and more importantly, Zhenyuanzi has this Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Earth Book, which has peerless defense.
In terms of defensive ability, it is no worse than the Taiqing Saint's Innate Merit Treasure, the Merit Linglong Pagoda.
It can be said that even for a Saint, it is very difficult to easily break through his defense.
Once in the Chaos World, the strength of Zhenyuanzi will absolutely not be inferior to that of Zhunti.
However, the Three Pure Ones all possess Innate Supreme Treasures; even if they were to relinquish their Saint positions, in terms of actual combat power, they would likely still be formidable.
