Chapter 579 - 238: Temporarily Living in Divine Mountain, The Little Sprites of This World_2
"Huh? Something’s wrong, this spiritual energy? This kind of aura... damn, boy, did you actually get us to the Dao Yuan World?!"
However, right after teasing Shen Xuzi, he was dumbfounded because he already knew the kind of situation they are in now.
Dao Yuan World, that supremely lofty world!
"Really Dao Yuan World?" Now it was Chen Chang’an’s turn to be stunned. How could this be possible? He was somewhat skeptical when he heard Zhantai Xinyan say this was the Dao Yuan World, but now he had no choice but to believe it.
"What else could it be?" Shen Xuzi rolled his eyes.
"But that’s all right. After all, even under normal circumstances, you would eventually come to the Dao Yuan World. Now we’ve simply taken a step ahead, it’s no big deal."
"On the contrary, now that you’ve come to Dao Yuan World, those little creatures from the Immortal Realm can no longer find you, thus avoiding a major battle. Isn’t that wonderful!"
"But, boy, where are you now? Why do I suddenly sense a very familiar aura?"
"Forest of Life, yes, The Forest of Life!"
"What the hell is going on with you? How did you get to the Forest of Life!"
The Forest of Life, also known as the Divine Mountain of Qingyu. To the outside world, the Mother Goddess of Qingyu and others claim this to be the Divine Mountain of Qingyu, but in fact, they also have another name for it, which is the Forest of Life.
Why is it called the Forest of Life? Because in the distant past, a catastrophe made this forest start to give birth to living creatures.
The spirits born here are mostly those of flowers, grass, trees, and woods.
Shen Xuzi once visited this place and became its pillar of heaven.
However, a great change later forced him to leave this realm, and since then he lost contact with this place.
Shen Xuzi didn’t expect to have the opportunity to return here in this life.
"Hmm? Is there only one Immortal Monarch left?"
His divine sense scanned the entire Divine Mountain of Qingyu, and found only one Immortal Monarch’s aura. Shen Xuzi couldn’t help but sigh.
Thinking back to the time when the Forest of Life was in its prime, it was indeed a congregation of hundreds of clans. There were eight or nine Immortal Monarchs, and even a couple in the late stage. Their power was so strong that they looked down on the celestial realm.
But now, only one Immortal Monarch is left, and he seems to have been forcefully promoted. The difference is really too big.
"Old man, what’s wrong? Is something the matter?" Seeing Shen Xuzi suddenly show such an expression, Chen Chang’an couldn’t help but become curious.
"Boy, help me with a favor." Shen Xuzi rarely showed a friendly face to Chen Chang’an.
"What favor?"
"If possible, can you help me guard this place? After all, I am considered one of the ancestors of this place." Shen Xuzi said seriously.
Flower Spirits are different from any other creature in this world - they are the most special creatures.
Other creatures can swallow Flower Spirits to gain their cultivation, and this type of swallowing has no limit and doesn’t cause any side effects.
This is the reason why the powerful Forest of Life has now fallen into decline. Presumably, those nine great Immortal Spirits sacrificed themselves, forming this large protective shield, fighting for a lifeline for the fragile Flower Spirits who came after them.
But now, after being eroded by time, this protection is also coming to an end.
When that time comes, it will be the end of the world for this group of little spirits in the Forest of Life.
Yes, the doomsday. Even though the present Forest of Life has one Immortal Monarch, it isn’t enough under such temptation.
"Can I keep it safe?" Chen Chang’an retorted.
"What do you think?" Shen Xuzi retorted with a glance at Chen Chang’an.
"Don’t think I don’t know how much power you actually harbor within your body. If even you can’t handle it, should I scoop up my own shit and eat it?"
"Fine, I’ll give it a try." Upon hearing this, Chen Chang’an no longer refused. Anyways, he was also going to stay here for now. Once his injuries heal, it wouldn’t hurt to lend a hand.
Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, Chen Chang’an had been at Qingyu Divine Mountain for a month. Aside from helping the Mother Goddess of Qingyu refine medicines twice, he had spent the rest of his time recuperating.
After a month of rest, his external injuries were practically nonexistent.
Yes, while the superficial wounds had healed, his Dao injuries remained. These were injuries that struck at the root of his being, and without any special opportunities, they could not be healed.
During this time, Chen Chang’an had explored the Qingyu Divine Mountain several times and discovered that Shen Xuzi hadn’t lied to him. This was indeed a place teeming with the spirits of Heaven and Earth, mostly spirits of plants that had achieved sentience. Some were as small as the palm of a hand, while others looked no different from humans, and all had small wings growing from their backs.
When the Mother Goddess of Qingyu discovered Chen Chang’an had found out about them, she initially worried. However, after seeing Shen Xuzi on Chen Chang’an, she stopped worrying.
Though she did not personally know Shen Xuzi, he, too, was a creature of Heaven and Earth with profound cultivation, almost considered her senior.
Since Shen Xuzi trusted Chen Chang’an, it showed that he was reliable. Consequently, she allowed him free exploration of the area.
Of course, what the Mother Goddess of Qingyu didn’t know was that Shen Xuzi had ended up with Chen Chang’an purely due to an unexpected turn of events.
Zhantai Xinyan often appeared before Chen Chang’an. In contrast to the mature and steady Mother Goddess of Qingyu, Zhantai Xinyan had more of the aura of an untamed child. She was curious about everything and deeply grateful to Chen Chang’an. She once believed that all people in the world were kind-hearted and expressed a desire to visit the human world.
Hence, it wasn’t difficult for Chen Chang’an to deduce that this girl, Zhantai Xinyan, had probably never stepped outside before, which explained her innocence.
In his third month at the Qingyu Divine Mountain, Chen Chang’an received a piece of news.
The Mother Goddess of Qingyu brought the news. She told him that a Phoenix had been spotted in the nearby Silent Forest.
The Phoenix had undergone Nirvana and fled into Heaven and Earth. Although it had departed, there could be a chance within its dwelling place for Chen Chang’an to recover his Dao Rule.
"Thank you for this information, Mother Goddess."
Upon hearing this news, a spark ignited in Chen Chang’an’s heart, and he decided to take a look.
"It’s no trouble. Over the past few months, you’ve helped the spirits of this mountain enormously. Finding some information for you is the least I could do." The Mother Goddess of Qingyu shook her head.
In the half a month since Chen Chang’an had arrived at the mountain, despite not spending much time crafting pills, every pill he made was useful to the little spirits on the mountain.
For instance, the Enlightenment Immortal Pill and the Transformation Immortal Pill greatly accelerated the growth of spiritual power within the small flower spirits, allowing them to consolidate their forms and transform. This was an immense contribution.
The Mother Goddess of Qingyu was no fool; she understood that Chen Chang’an was no ordinary Pill Master because regular Pill Masters did not have the ability to assist spirits in achieving form.
Not to mention Sixth Grade Pill Masters, even Seventh and Eighth Grade Pill Masters couldn’t do it!
Whether Chen Chang’an was a Ninth Grade supreme Immortal Pill Master, the Mother Goddess of Qingyu did not know. However, she did know that without a couple of Dao that directly challenged the Heavenly Dao, he could not have done what he did.
Either way, neither of them was something she could afford to provoke!
This young man must be an unrivaled figure of this era!
This was the final judgment of the Mother Goddess of Qingyu regarding Chen Chang’an. Hence, she wasn’t stingy about gathering information to curry favor with him.
As it turns out, anyone who could cultivate to the level of an Immortal Monarch was no fool. While most of the Mother Goddess of Qingyu’s guesses about Chen Chang’an were wrong, she did guess one thing correctly: Chen Chang’an indeed was an unrivaled figure of this era.
Setting aside the miscellaneous things he possessed, the mere fact that he held control over the Six Daos was enough to create a new realm, let alone dealing with just a few spirits.
Yes, the reason Chen Chang’an was able to help those plant spirits enormously increase their spiritual intelligence and even transform was not just due to his pill-refining skills.
By mastering the Six Daos, he also mastered life, and imbuing these plant spirits with some spiritual nature was no hard task for him.
