Chapter 129: Overturning the Heavenly Net, Jieyin and Zhunti Perform the Rite!

Jieyin and Zhunti were shocked beyond measure.

The Dao Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, though only one stalk, its effect is not inferior to the Innate Purple Bamboo Forest—it is at least as strong.

With this spiritual root nourishing them, not only does the cultivation speed of Western sentient beings increase, but their comprehension also improves.

Even the progress of Jieyin and Zhunti toward sainthood could thus be enhanced.

Only then did they realize how great the exaggeration in Chen Ku's "so-so" comment really was.

If even this could only be called ordinary,

then what opportunity in the world could be called extraordinary?

Before Jieyin and Zhunti could react,

Chen Ku merely stirred his thoughts again.

In his sea of consciousness, the twenty-four Stabilizing Sea Divine Pearls burst forth with divine radiance.

Whoosh.....

Whoosh.....

Chaos Spiritual Water was poured forth, condensing into mighty rivers that surged out, beginning to irrigate the Innate Purple Bamboo Forest, the Dao Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, and the various spiritual roots planted earlier.

The irrigation of this spiritual water had an astonishing effect, comparable to that of the original Eight Treasures Merit Pool's water.

All that could be seen was the Chaos Spiritual water gurgling; wherever it passed, vast, abyss-like spiritual energy surged forth.

Near Mount Sumeru, all spiritual roots frantically absorbed it.

Each spiritual root burst forth with immortal light divine radiance surpassing previous levels by more than tenfold, even up to dozens of times.

Vitality!

Indescribable surging vitality spread forth; looking around, it was as if myriad things were sprouting in competition.

The Innate Pear Trees planted earlier bore fruit one by one, faintly showing the aura of imminent maturity.

This is the astonishing effect of Chaos Spiritual Water: nurturing myriad things, hastening the ripening of immortal fruits, and so on—nothing out of the ordinary.

Jieyin and Zhunti stared at each other.

Compared to Chen Ku, they now looked like two raw recruits, utterly at a loss.

"How do I feel that we two have become superfluous?"

Jieyin gave a wry laugh and said softly,

Hearing this, Zhunti immediately nodded, deeply agreeing.

Although they had expended immense effort and toiled endless ages to revive the West,

but compared to Chen Ku, their efforts seemed hardly worth mentioning.

Without exaggeration, since taking Chen Ku as a disciple, the harvest of various top-tier spiritual roots and treasures like the Eight Treasures Merit Pool that improve a region equals the efforts of Jieyin and Zhunti over countless ages to restore.

After a long while, under the irrigation of Chaos Spiritual Water, every spiritual root gleamed brightly; their spiritual energy, vitality, and so on had increased nearly a hundredfold compared to before.

Only then did Chen Ku cease, no longer pouring forth Chaos Spiritual Water.

Jieyin and Zhunti finally came to their senses, yet the shock in their hearts lingered.

"Disciple, this opportunity of yours is truly astonishing."

Jieyin said, full of emotion, while walking toward Chen Ku.

They naturally assumed that this would be the end of it.

Innate Purple Bamboo Forest!

Dao Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree!

Plus Chaos Spiritual Water!

Three great opportunities, each a top-tier existence.

As for this, Jieyin and Zhunti were already content, daring not to ask for more.

However, Chen Ku seemed not prepared to stop here.

"Heh, what is this?!"

"Disciple feels that the Mysterious Yellow Earth Vein Ginseng is the most important."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jieyin and Zhunti felt a thunderous 'boom' explode in their minds.

But see, Chen Ku swept his wide sleeve.

Not bad!

The Mysterious Yellow Earth Vein Ginseng finally manifested as well.

Stalk after stalk of earth vein ginseng stood sturdy like dragons, appearing simple and unadorned, yet they emitted mighty auras that seized the heart and mind, causing the void to reverberate.

"Hiss......"

"Hiss......"

At this moment, Jieyin and Zhunti couldn't help but repeatedly draw in cold air.

Defying heaven!

Too defiant of heaven!

Even if Chen Ku possessed the talent to sense spiritual roots and immortal fruits, this harvest is still too astonishing, isn't it?

Moreover, what is the Mysterious Yellow Earth Vein Ginseng?

This is a spiritual root that Jieyin and Zhunti once longed for endlessly, sparing no effort to seek.

They also knew that the Mysterious Yellow Earth Vein Ginseng possesses the miraculous effect of recreating spirit veins.

Therefore, they once traversed the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, wandered the primordial heavens and earth, seeking this spiritual root to, from the ground up, revive the West and recreate earth veins, spirit veins, and so on.

But in the end, they obtained nothing.

The spiritual root they had awaited for endless ages appeared before their eyes so easily.

Jieyin and Zhunti's eyes were dazed, they stared blankly, feeling as if in a dream, unreal.

Moreover, without doubt, as Chen Ku said, compared to the Innate Purple Bamboo Forest and the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, the effect of this Xuanhuang Earth Vein Ginseng is most important for the West, surpassing everything.

After a long while, Jieyin's whole body shuddered, and he finally reacted.

"This... this..."

"With this Xuanhuang Earth Vein Ginseng, it is enough to restore one‑fifth of the West's earthly spiritual veins."

"Disciple, oh disciple, this time you have truly given your master a tremendous surprise."

"As your master, I ought to bow and thank you!"

Saying this, Jieyin, face full of ecstatic joy, slightly bowed, actually expressing his joy and gratitude in this way.

If other powerhouses witnessed this scene, they would surely have their jaws drop.

Turning the heavens upside down!

Purely turning the heavens upside down!

Since ancient times, only disciples bow to masters; when has a master ever bowed to a disciple?

However, Jieyin had a completely serious expression.

He knew all too well how important this Xuanhuang Earth Vein Ginseng was for the West.

This bow is entirely appropriate.

Seeing this, Chen Ku was also greatly startled and lost color.

"Master being like this, how can I, the disciple, deserve it?"

He hurriedly spoke, about to go over and help Jieyin up.

However, at that very moment, Zhunti beside him also spoke.

"Deserving!"

"Grandnephew, we two bowing to you, you are completely deserving."

Before his words faded, Zhunti, like Jieyin, slightly bowed and performed the salute.

Chen Ku helplessly shook his head with a bitter smile.

For him, obtaining this Xuanhuang Earth Vein Ginseng was merely a matter of course after finding the Overseas Immortal Island.

He never expected his own master and master‑uncle to have such a great reaction.

Or rather, Chen Ku did not understand how Jieyin and Zhunti, painstakingly striving to revive the West, longed for this Xuanhuang Earth Vein Ginseng.

"Master, master‑uncle, please rise quickly."

"Since I am a disciple of the West, doing all this is simply a matter of course."

"Why should the master and master‑uncle offer thanks?!"

Chen Ku could only say this.

Hearing these words, Jieyin and Zhunti felt even more relieved.

Not arrogant, not impatient; not startled by favor or disgrace.

In a lifetime of cultivation, to gain such a disciple is truly not wasting this life.

Haha, no matter what, disciple, you have truly achieved great merit this time.

Whatever reward you want, as long as it is a spiritual treasure that I and your master‑uncle possess, you may speak up.

Jieyin laughed loudly and spoke very generously.

Worth it!

All of this is worth it!

For Chen Ku's contribution, even if it meant giving their strongest spiritual treasure to their own disciple, Jieyin and Zhunti would hesitate not at all.

Beside him, Zhunti also nodded repeatedly.

Hearing this, Chen Ku could not help but laugh.

"Spiritual treasure?"

"What the disciple lacks least is spiritual treasure......"

He replied with a face full of helplessness.

Immediately, he nonchalantly flipped his hand, transforming.

Instantly, beams of divine light burst forth, hovering before the three of them.

At a glance, Jieyin and Zhunti were again filled with bewildered expressions, eyes wide open, mouths agape!
