Chapter 1936 - 222: The True Immortal Tree! (2)

The anomaly dissipated, and everything returned to silence.

The Primordial Spirit returned to normal, and the golden raindrops in the inner world vanished.

The Immortal Tree had completely transformed.

It stood eleven zhang tall.

The branches and leaves stretched out, luxuriant and abundant, with a canopy like a curtain. The overlapping layers of branches and leaves shimmered with vibrant colors, with a flow of Dao rhythm intertwined amidst the brilliance.

The textures on the trunk were exceptionally clear.

Each line contained an indescribable, profound mystery.

At the tips of the branches, the distinctly colored Immortal Leaves occupied their places, each with a primary and secondary order, yet forming a seamless whole.

Looking at it as a whole, it truly was a magnificent tree.

A tree of incredible mystery.

"What a magnificent Immortal Tree!!" Observing the large tree within his inner world, Jiang Ning felt a deep sense of emotion.

His long-standing effort paled in comparison to the golden celestial flower.

The golden celestial flower brought an evolution to the Immortal Tree far beyond what he had accumulated in the past.

At this moment, he could clearly sense that the connection between the Immortal Tree and himself was closer than ever before.

The branches and leaves stretched, the textures spread; this was not just a tree.

This was the embodiment of his life’s learning, insights, and path traveled.

It was the carrier of his Tao.

The next moment.

He withdrew his gaze from the Immortal Tree and displayed the panel.

[Skill]: Sun Scripture (Master 58.71%→78.37%)

Taiyin True Scripture (Master 22.3%→31.4%)

Five Animals Fist (Break Limit once 53.2%→100%) (Trait: Grandmaster (Light Gold))

Vajra Immortal Body (Nine times limit-breaking 31.21%→67.33%) (Trait: Dragon Elephant Power (Deep Gold).....)

Gazing at the changes on the panel, colors flashed in his eyes.

The greatest efficacy of the golden celestial flower, he now understood, was to further mature the Immortal Tree.

Before obtaining the golden celestial flower, the Immortal Tree within him only reached three zhang, barely out of the seedling stage, having truly reached the stage of a tree.

And now, the height of the Immortal Tree within him had soared from about three zhang to eleven zhang.

The branches and leaves stretched, the canopy like a curtain, completely transformed.

This change was a manifold enhancement of his prior accumulations.

Additionally, the progress of each cultivation technique and skill also experienced a tremendous boost.

He also understood that this was nothing extraordinary.

The normal effect of the golden celestial flower was sufficient to allow any disciple in the Shangyang Immortal Sect who reached this stage to truly achieve the Heavenly Immortal Realm and bloom the Dao Flower.

That result did not manifest on him.

But he was not disheartened.

He knew this was normal.

Being able to stand firm on the three hundredth step of the Heavenly Ladder was not because his realm truly approached the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but because his mental strength far surpassed his realm.

In truth, his realm was ahead by an incalculable number of steps.

Though the golden celestial flower catalyzed, there was still a considerable gap to the blooming of his first Dao Flower.

"There’s no point dwelling on this now!" he silently shook his head, "With a mortal body, not yet an Immortal Body, even if the Dao Flower truly bloomed, stepping into the Heavenly Immortal Realm would scarcely achieve a fraction of its potential."

"Currently, Martial Arts should remain my primary focus unless the Ten Domains unite, and the heavenly environment returns to the Ancient!"

His thoughts rapidly flickered by.

Then, he looked at the Source Points section on the panel.

He felt a bit more nervous.

[Source Points]: 2471.3

At the moment he clearly saw the number in the Source Points section, his pupils slightly contracted before a relieved smile appeared.

The goal he previously aimed for was now achieved at this moment.

With over two thousand four hundred Source Points, he could easily meet the needs for the Vajra Immortal Body’s breakthrough.

"Thus, the accumulation of Source Points has been fulfilled! And there’s even quite a surplus!"

He internally remarked, his gaze then shifting from the Source Points section to the skill section.

[Skill]: Vajra Immortal Body (Nine times limit-breaking 67.33%) (Trait: Dragon Elephant Power (Deep Gold).....)

The Vajra Immortal Body, about thirty-two percentage points from perfection.

Originally, it would have required quite some time, but the golden celestial flower drastically shortened the progress.

And it wasn’t just this cultivation technique; it included all cultivation techniques and a comprehensive enhancement of skills.

"My previous choices were indeed correct!"

He slowly opened his eyes.

In front, clouds surged.

Beneath, stood the three hundredth level of the Heavenly Ladder.

But at this moment, his mindset was completely different from just now.

Earlier, his heart was somewhat uneasy.

He did not know what benefits climbing to the three hundredth step would bring, whether it would align with his intentions.

But at this moment, it was entirely different.

Not only did it align with his intentions, but the reward of the three hundredth step provided sufficient Source Point amplification.

It far exceeded his expectations; the Source Point accumulation reached over two thousand four hundred, easily satisfying the Vajra Immortal Body’s breakthrough.

Moreover, the progress of various Cultivation Techniques and Skills saw significant, all-around advancement.

It saved him an incalculable amount of time.

Not to mention, the Immortal Tree within him.

The height of the Immortal Tree soared from around three zhang to eleven zhang, truly becoming a mighty tree, with a canopy like a curtain.

"Next, with ample Source Points, the focus will be on the cultivation of the Vajra Immortal Body!"

"Once the Vajra Immortal Body completes another breakthrough, I can sever more shackles, bringing me even closer to achieving the Martial Saint Realm!"

With thoughts passing, Jiang Ning leaped off the Heavenly Ladder.

In the next moment.

He appeared on the Preaching Platform.

Arriving at a familiar position, he sat cross-legged, his Heart Spirit slowly settling into tranquility.

After a long while.

He opened his eyes again.

"No way!"

He glanced around but saw no movement.

He then rose.

He knew that this time, the Preaching Platform did not resonate with him.

"It might also be that too little time has passed since the last time!" he thought to himself.

...

In the depths of the wilderness.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.

In front was a familiar wilderness, where green mountains were as fresh as jade, with ranges in the group.

Hoo——

He exhaled a long breath of impure energy, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders.

In his mind, the moments of his recent experiences still lingered.

Climbing to the three hundredth step, the imprints left by predecessors, each name, appellation, and code, were all beings from Shangyang Immortal Sect in the past who reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Those names flashed quickly in his mind, every appellation heard clearly, deeply imprinting in his memory.

His mind continuously flashed with his recent experiences.

The appearance of the golden celestial flower, the scattering of pollen, petals merging with the Primordial Spirit Body, the rapid growth of the Immortal Tree... scenes like scrolls passed before his eyes.

"Better than I expected, much better." he murmured, a smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

Over two thousand four hundred Source Points, comprehensive enhancement of each Cultivation Technique, and truly entering the threshold of Heavenly Immortal’s mental strength.

"This journey was worthwhile!!" he thought to himself.

Then, his gaze swept around.

Endless green mountains, lush vegetation, distant streams murmuring softly.

A desolate wilderness, where all stood silently.

"Landing randomly, I’ve found a place with excellent Feng Shui."

"Since there’s ample Source Points, might as well continue practicing here."

Then, he opened the panel.

[Skill]: Vajra Immortal Body (Nine times limit-breaking 67.33%) (Trait: Dragon Elephant Power (Deep Gold), Leakless Body (Deep Blue), Ten Zhang Golden Body (Light Gold), Golden Body (Deep Gold), Qi Blood Furnace (Deep Purple), Unfinished Spine (Light Gold))

Having completed nine times limit-breaking, it was only over thirty-two percentage points from completion.

With his current efficiency, reaching one hundred from zero would not take long.

But now, things were different.

The thirty-plus percentage progress required considerably less time than before, around sixty to seventy percent less.

"I wonder how much time the remaining thirty-plus percentage progress will take."

As the thought crossed his mind, he had already assumed his stance.

The next moment.

Boom——

His Qi-Blood roared like waves, like a torrent flushing over his skin, washing every inch of flesh and sinew.

In an instant, he felt a tingling deep within his bones and a pricking pain as if pierced by a billion needles.

"So refreshing!"

He grinned, his face beginning to contort.

Even reaching this step, that feeling could only make him put on a brave face.

Apart from putting on a brave face, he had no other changes.

This was the necessary process of practicing the Vajra Immortal Body.
