Chapter 1565: Bitter Bamboo and the Ginseng Fruit Tree

The small one is very small, only about a zhang in length, yet it is a lush and upright bamboo; it always gives one a feeling of being unremarkable, and those who do not recognize it would mistake it for an ordinary stalk of bamboo.

This is the legendary Bitter Bamboo, which possesses the special ability to shield the six senses, allowing living beings to become completely devoid of perception; if refined into a Strange Treasure, the effect is even better, and it is rumored that a Stronger once used Bitter Bamboo to refine the Six Senses Purifying Bamboo, which was truly miraculous.

Unfortunately, the Six Senses Purifying Bamboo changed hands several times and eventually fell into the hands of the Profound Emperor, but it was destroyed during the Heaven and Earth Hegemony.

This is information Li Zhangsheng obtained from the Heavenly Emperor Inheritance, because it was the Heavenly Emperor himself who destroyed the Six Senses Purifying Bamboo.

Back then, the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Empress joined forces, the dragon-headed staff and phoenix-headed staff crying out in unison, and the Profound Emperor chose to use the Six Senses Purifying Bamboo to resist head-on, directly leading to the destruction of the Six Senses Purifying Bamboo.

Li Zhangsheng does not currently have the intention to take on the Six Senses Purifying Bamboo; this thing is good, but it is truly of little use to him, and it is not as practical as using the God-Slaying Spear.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng looks toward that large Superior Quality Top-Grade Spiritual Root.

This is a giant tree with gnarled branches, looking somewhat like a large banyan tree, and from time to time, one can see fruits shaped like children dotted sporadically among the branches and leaves.

The Ginseng Fruit Tree!

Li Zhangsheng recognized it at a glance; only the Ginseng Fruit Tree fits the description of having fruits shaped like children.

The Ginseng Fruit Tree blossoms every three thousand years, bears fruit every three thousand years, and takes another three thousand years to ripen. The fruits it bears fall when they encounter metal, wither when they encounter wood, dissolve when they encounter water, scorch when they encounter fire, and sink when they encounter earth. One must use a metal implement to knock them down to obtain them.

As for the effects, one sniff allows one to live ten years longer; eating one allows one to live four hundred and seventy years (just like the Pan Peach Tree, do not compare it to the Investiture of the Gods; if you must blame something, blame the vast difference between the worlds; you can consider them a super impoverished version).

Besides this, every Ginseng Fruit contains extremely Pure Earth Element essence, which can increase the strength of Earth Element Demon Pets.

It must be mentioned here that the Ginseng Fruit Tree and the Earth Book are a perfect match, allowing the Earth Book to exert even greater power.

Well, the premise is to uproot the Ginseng Fruit Tree; otherwise, it is only effective within the range of the Ginseng Fruit Tree's image.

In terms of value, the Ginseng Fruit Tree is inferior to the Huangzhong Li, but it wins in that the growth cycle of its fruit is significantly shorter; at the same time, as a Wood-attribute Superior Quality Top-Grade Spiritual Root, it is more effective for stabilizing a Secret Realm, which is no wonder the Human Emperor's Secret Realm could grow to such an extent.

After finishing his inspection of the Top-Grade Spiritual Roots, Li Zhangsheng used his Mental Power to continuously scan the other spiritual plants, and to his surprise, he discovered several ingredients for the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, though there is still some distance to go before gathering all the materials for the Nine-Turn Golden Pill.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng left the medicinal garden and began to move and fly through the Human Emperor Secret Realm, not letting go of any corner.

There are a great many wild Spirit Beasts in the Secret Realm, and many of them are Quasi-God Divine Beasts, and one can even occasionally see the figures of Divine Beasts.

There is no need to mention the Dragon Lair, which has a full several thousand giant dragons, among which there are even the figures of a few ancestral giant dragons.

It is not that the Human Emperor did not want to keep more giant dragons, but mainly because it is easy to disrupt the ecological balance of the Secret Realm, and for the Human Emperor, the use of giant dragons was already minimal.

As for mineral veins, they are countless, and among them, there is even a mineral vein that can give birth to World Wonder-level items, though the production rate is not high, and it is as tiny as gold dust, requiring it to be gathered bit by bit.

The Human Emperor's accumulation of nearly ten thousand years has made this Secret Realm almost a treasure land.

Li Zhangsheng did not let go of the ocean, and he did find three Water Attribute Top-Grade Spiritual Roots, though they were all uniformly Low-Grade Top-Grade Spiritual Roots.

What surprised him was that several Primordial Snakes, as well as many of their branches, were living in the ocean.

This reminded him of that sealed Primordial Snake; with his current strength, he assumes that Primordial Snake would not dare to be presumptuous, so he could just catch it and have it keep them company.

If he were to slaughter all these Primordial Snakes and their branches, he could even allow a Demon Pet to obtain the perfect-grade World Serpent Jormungandr Bloodline.

As a Unique Divine Beast, without the blessing of Heaven and Earth Status, it cannot evolve into a true World Serpent, just like the Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon.

After finishing his observations, Li Zhangsheng flew to the top of the Secret Realm and began to use the Authority of the Secret Realm Token, preparing to completely merge the Human Emperor Secret Realm.

During this period, thanks to the growth of the Gate of Light and Darkness, the speed of purifying the Abyss Consciousness has accelerated a lot, and the World Power obtained is naturally very abundant; even though Li Zhangsheng used a fair amount of World Power to attempt to condense the World Origin, the remainder was still more than enough to merge the Human Emperor Secret Realm.

Under a large number of experiments, although he did not succeed in giving birth to the World Origin, Li Zhangsheng also grasped some clues.

In general, it is missing a crucial node, or rather, a medium.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng's Secret Realm emerged and began to merge with the Human Emperor Secret Realm.

If the Human Emperor Secret Realm is merged, Li Zhangsheng's Secret Realm will exceed fifty thousand square kilometers in size, not smaller than one of the nine major regions of the human world, and even quite a bit larger.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, when the area of the Secret Realm reaches one million square kilometers, it might be able to break away from the Fairy World, survive independently in the starry sky, and achieve a Great Thousand World.

It is just that this is a bit difficult; although the Spiritual Roots Li Zhangsheng has collected are numerous, and he has several Superior Quality Top-Grade Spiritual Roots, they simply cannot maintain a Secret Realm of one million square kilometers, and six or seven hundred thousand is likely the limit.

In addition, as there are more and more Superior Quality Top-Grade Spiritual Roots, due to the overlapping and wasting of certain functions, the effect of stabilizing the Secret Realm will also be divided and weakened, and this will become increasingly serious.

This is also why, since the birth of the Fairy World, so many brilliant talents have been born, yet no Monster Tamer's Secret Realm has ever reached one million square kilometers, and most Emperors' Secret Realms have not even exceeded one hundred thousand square kilometers.

As the World Power was consumed continuously, the two huge Secret Realms began to connect, and the tremors began to intensify, but under Li Zhangsheng's efforts to maintain them, they were always kept within a certain range, at most causing the creatures in the two Secret Realms to be somewhat frightened, without resulting in death.

As in the past, the Human Emperor's Secret Realm was cut into several pieces, which not only could accelerate the progress of the fusion but was also conducive to the Secret Realm tending toward an oval or square shape, reducing energy loss and preparing for the future of becoming a Small Thousand World.

Because the area of the Human Emperor Secret Realm was too large, this time, the fusion alone took a full two days, and the World Power consumed was countless, but the fusion was finally completed.

What was unexpected was that after the fusion was completed, the entire Secret Realm suddenly shone with brilliant light, countless heavenly flowers condensed from energy emerged from the void, and golden lotuses sprang from the ground, with various strange phenomena appearing.

Most importantly, the Secret Realm Core underwent a change, and it seems it can once again allow treasures to undergo sublimation.
