Chapter 128: Top-Tier Spiritual Root, You Call This Mediocre?!

Western Realm!

After leaving Wuliang Sihai, Chen Ku and the others didn't linger in the slightest, nor did they wander to other regions seeking opportunities; they headed straight back here.

That day, after crossing Two Worlds Mountain, they had set foot in the Western Realm.

A continuous stream of figures surged forth.

Although only the strange dragons of the Dragon Clan followed, they numbered several million, making a spectacular sight.

Of course, for the boundless Western Realm, even hundreds of millions of beings are merely a drop in the ocean.

However, compared to the previous desolate scene with only three people, this is worlds apart.

Countless Dragon Clan members looked around curiously and scrutinizingly, for this was a territory they had never set foot in.

At that moment, gazing far into the Western Realm's scenery, the Black Dragon's heart eased slightly, and he silently let out a long breath.

"Good, good!"

"This Western Realm isn't as barren as I imagined."

The Black Dragon thought to himself.

Before arriving, this had been the Black Dragon's greatest worry.

After all, everyone knows the Western Realm is barren and desolate.

Even in the perception of countless beings, calling it a lifeless, bitterly cold land is not an exaggeration.

The Black Dragon truly worried that the Western Realm wouldn't even have enough spiritual energy for their cultivation.

Then there'd be nothing to do but fumble!

But now, as far as the eye can see, the void flickers with streaks of spiritual light, the starry river surges, divine radiance pours down, and it likewise appears remarkably extraordinary.

Naturally, this is the result of Jieyin and Zhunti's countless years of hard work.

Moreover, since we're not far from Mount Sumeru now, things will naturally be much better.

Even so, most of the Western Realm remains a horrifying sight.

After all, the Western Realm is simply too vast; a small corner cannot reveal its plight.

Fortunately, with the aid of three clans this time, we should be able to change quite a bit.

"Please, Master, tell us what to do."

Having realized this, the Black Dragon respectfully asked Chen Ku.

Having witnessed Chen Ku's astonishingly brilliant prowess, the Black Dragon no longer harbored any reluctance about becoming his mount.

Moreover, this time it can be said that Chen Ku saved him, preventing the Candle Dragon Ancestor from settling scores.

Thus, facing Chen Ku, the Black Dragon felt a greater sense of awe.

Hearing the Black Dragon's words, Chen Ku merely pondered briefly, then immediately gave orders:

"You, lead the Dragon Clan's beings and disperse them throughout the Western Realm."

"Each day, ferry across those endless wandering souls and cleanse their resentment."

The Dragon Clan possesses an innate divine ability: they can transform their dragon breath into fire.

If used to ferry souls and cleanse resentment, it proves doubly effective.

The Black Dragon had no objection and immediately bowed in assent.

Then, at his command, the Dragon Clan's beings scattered, found suitable spots, sat down straight away, and began purifying resentment.

Jieyin and Zhunti watched this scene with calm expressions.

By rights, they should be the Western Realm's strongest beings, its undisputed rulers.

Yet, regarding Chen Ku's act of overstepping his station, Jieyin and Zhunti felt no displeasure.

Being able to subdue the Dragon Clan's mighty ones and bring them here, Chen Ku is undoubtedly the foremost contributor.

Moreover, Jieyin and Zhunti can see that it is Chen Ku whom the Black Dragon and others truly submit to, not themselves.

In this, they could only wear satisfied smiles.

"Heh, my disciple now bears the demeanor of a grand master."

Jieyin said this with a hint of teasing.

By rights, Chen Ku is still merely his disciple.

Yet, in his every gesture, word, and deed, an unquestionable majesty already emanates.

This moved Jieyin and Zhunti to sigh with emotion.

To have such a disciple is truly a blessing for Jieyin and Zhunti, and also a boon for the Western Realm.

Facing Jieyin's praise, Chen Ku gave a light smile and said nothing more.

The three of them left the Dragon Clan behind here and continued onward toward Mount Sumeru.

Only after returning to Mount Sumeru did Jieyin and Zhunti finally speak up, asking:

"Disciple, what exactly did you gain from this trip to Wuliang Sihai?"

"Hurry and tell your master."

From the Eastern Duke's earlier words, Jieyin and Zhunti also knew that Chen Ku's gains were not merely a single supreme treasure like the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler.

The Abyssal Island and the Square Isle, those two great Fairy Islands, have fallen into my disciple's hands.

With such spoils, how could there be any less?

As his words fell, Zhunti standing nearby also gazed at Chen Ku with eager anticipation.

However, Chen Ku shook his head and sighed:

"Ah... so hard..."

"This time, I, as a disciple, actually haven't gained anything."

"Just a few spiritual-root immortal fruits, nothing special."

Jieyin and Zhunti didn't take Chen Ku's words seriously.

This kid, as soon as he opens his mouth, speaks of bitterness; it's almost become his unconscious verbal tic.

However, hearing Chen Ku say "so-so", Jieyin and Zhunti's eyes also dimmed a bit.

However, just as the two believed it to be true.

Chen Ku didn't keep secrets either.

Only seeing him wave his big hand.

In an instant, the sky-full of purple divine radiance burst forth, leaving Jieyin and Zhunti dazzled and staring.

Looking closely, it was indeed the innate purple bamboo forest Chen Ku had previously harvested.

"This... innate purple bamboo forest?!"

"And there's this much?!"

Zhunti's eye corner twitched violently.

He naturally recognizes this spiritual root.

Immediately, Zhunti gave Chen Ku a strange look.

"You call this 'a bit' of spiritual root?"

"You call this so-so?"

Damn it!

This kid's way of speaking is really infuriating.

Know that, facing Jieyin and Zhunti, the innate purple bamboo forest is dense and thick, like rolling waves, swaying in the wind.

The rich and mighty spiritual qi spreads out, reflecting each other, illuminating a million li radius with brilliance.

Above the high heavens, resentment also faded considerably.

Such a quantity, Jieyin and Zhunti dare not even imagine.

"Haha......"

Jieyin couldn't help but laugh loudly.

"Good, good, excellent!"

"With so much innate purple bamboo forest, our future alchemy and forging will absolutely not lack."

Jieyin repeatedly said good, showing his joy.

Jieyin and Zhunti bear the mission to revive the West and will eventually become sages.

Therefore, even opportunities like spiritual treasures are not worth their excessive joy.

On the contrary, this innate purple bamboo forest, which adds vigorous vitality to the West and nurtures all things, is of great significance.

After the astonishment, Jieyin and Zhunti immediately took action.

The Quasi-Sage's mighty power surged forth, immediately planting each innate purple bamboo around Mount Sumeru.

After a moment, looking out, one sees specks of purple mist spreading, almost covering the surroundings of Mount Sumeru.

Strands of spiritual light intertwine, adding an indescribable radiance to the West.

Having done this, Zhunti smiled and looked at Chen Ku.

"Hehe, junior disciple, do you have any other opportunities?!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Zhunti couldn't help but blush.

Clearly he is the uncle, yet now he expects Chen Ku, his junior disciple, to produce more opportunities.

Moreover, although he asks this way, Zhunti does not hold much hope.

This dense innate purple bamboo forest is already astonishing enough.

Even if Chen Ku has no other opportunities, it's understandable.

Little do Jieyin and Zhunti know, they each went to the Phoenix and Qilin clans and have yet to gain any major opportunity.

However, at this moment Chen Ku nodded.

"Actually, there is still one tree."

"By the way, let's also plant it around Mount Sumeru."

Chen Ku acted again.

This time, a huge ancient tree emerged, lush and luxuriant, covering the sky.

Each branch extends for thousands of li.

This spiritual root is none other than the Enlightenment Dao ancient tea tree.

Seeing this, Jieyin and Zhunti were stunned.

No way?!

You really have it?!

However, under the aura of the Enlightenment Dao ancient tree, Jieyin and Zhunti instead felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility.

No time to think further, the two hurriedly focused their gaze.

At a glance, they again recognized this spiritual root.

"Enlightenment Dao ancient tree?!"

"This this this..."

Shock!

Indescribable shock!

Jieyin and Zhunti's eyelids jumped wildly, unable to look away.

The two wanted to say something, but their words trembled slightly.

Another top-grade spiritual-root immortal plant!
