Chapter 47 The Immortal Elders Have Come to Pick Us Up
Xiong Zhou looked completely satisfied.
In "Minecraft", he felt almost omnipotent, able to adjust the parameters of everything in the world and modify it to his liking.
Of course, this is just an "approximation" and a "feeling." If he really messes things up, this world, which has just caught its breath, might collapse in an instant.
Under the current conditions, this "Minecraft" is already an incredible cheat code for him, a novice cultivator at the first level of cultivation.
As [Power: Abundance] was activated, strands of pixelated heaven and earth automatically filled the inner world of the bear boat, rapidly increasing its cultivation level and accumulating progress at a speed unimaginable in the past.
The incense needed for a saint's ascension can also be transformed from the origin of heaven and earth to build up the progress bar of refining the spirit, until the limit of entering [Lv.6] is reached.
Incidentally, he can also simultaneously send pixel blocks to the [Gate to Another World] to feed back into the progress bars of his avatar's cultivation and divine refinement in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Xiong Zhou muttered to himself, "This is what 'AFK cultivation' is all about."
The feeling of increasing his cultivation level even while lying down was so comfortable that he almost squinted his eyes. It was like the bliss of lying on a soft bed after soaking in a hot spring, listening to light music.
Everything is so beautiful.
The light music that was playing was occasionally interrupted by some off-key noises, which was quite annoying.
Xiong Zhou's gaze fell on the corpse with irregular red hair, which was pinned in the void by Senior Sister Bai Yu. It was in a state of being seemingly cut off, but not completely cut off, and could not be pixelated at all.
Those annoying "noises" originate from here.
"The higher one's cultivation level, the stronger one's ability to survive. It's truly not easy to clean up the remaining remnants in one go."
"To be honest, the ancient, immortal body of this sacred body still retains some vitality after withstanding Senior Sister Bai Yu's Heavenly Five Fiends attack, and there is a possibility of it continuing to recover. It's simply abnormal."
"As expected of a special constitution named 'immortal,' I've learned something new."
Xiong Zhou could already imagine how troublesome his junior brother Chen Fan, who possessed the same special physique, would be once he reached the same cultivation level, and just how earth-shattering his health bar would be.
Before the person even arrives, a rock-hard health bar is already slamming into their face?
"That's not right. If the Undying Holy Body is so difficult to kill after it grows up, how did this ancient Undying Holy Body perish?"
'
"Did he die of old age due to an attack by an enemy using special methods?"
"This vibrant body is clearly still in its prime, it doesn't seem like it."
"Is simply possessing a primordial spirit at [Lv.7] level really that terrifying?"
He has now raised the level of [Power: Abundance] to [Lv.6], giving birth to a strand of Abundance Law that is essentially at the sixth level of Refinement and is on par with the laws of heaven and earth. The level of [Tai Li Refinement Method] can also be raised to [Lv.6] very quickly, without any bottlenecks or being held back.
From this perspective, I'm probably not that far from being Lv.7?
My existing knowledge is insufficient; I need to go back and catch up.
Xiong Zhou shook his head, suppressing his doubts. He needed to deal with the body of the immortal holy body as soon as possible. If that ominous red-haired guy did a sit-up, he would definitely be in trouble.
Upon reaching the body of the immortal holy body, Xiong Zhou took out a radiant golden crystal sphere and pressed it into the gap between the forehead and the cyan-gold spear.
"Clatter..."
'
Driven by [Power: Abundance], the crystal sprouted.
One by one, platinum roots grew out from all directions of the crystal, climbing and taking root along the flesh and blood texture of the immortal body, along the gaps in the bones, along every tiny capillary, and along the pathways that extended to the brain, to the heart, and to the inner world.
In an instant, strands of dark golden blood began to circulate within the platinum-colored roots, flowing towards the center.
"Click...click..."
The golden crystal sphere shattered completely, and green leaves grew upwards one after another, with vines extending and continuing to entwine the helpless corpse, absorbing the laws within it and extracting the indestructible Dao patterns that were naturally present in its flesh and bones.
In a short while, a pixelated, exceptionally lush, dark gold tree began to grow tall and straight on the massive corpse.
"Crunch... Crunch..."
'
The sounds of flesh being digested and bones being twisted, squeezed, and broken rang out one after another.
In just a few hundred breaths, the leaves of the entire tree brightened, transforming from dark gold to radiant gold, incomparably dazzling and magnificent.
A vibrant flower, as dazzling as a star, quietly bloomed atop the tree. Its delicate fragrance wafted through the air, penetrating the senses and captivating even Xiong Zhou.
About five minutes later, the flower withered, and a green fruit slowly formed.
The sounds of flesh and bone breaking became more frequent.
At the same time, the fragrance that could spread in a near-vacuum environment became even more intense.
Xiong Zhou slowly retreated several hundred steps, looked up, and gasped in astonishment.
"It's amazing how tall it can grow; its canopy can almost cover the circumplanetary disk of the star system."
"If I hadn't been able to forcibly control the trajectory of those cube-shaped stars, this huge tree, with its terrifying mass effect, would have surely made a complete mess of this newly stabilized pixel star system."
The maximum radius of the entire pixel star system is currently about 2.5 AU, which is approximately 37.4 billion meters.
It's easy to imagine just how big this tree must be.
After waiting for three days and three nights, the sounds of flesh and bones breaking disappeared completely.
Xiong Zhou suddenly raised his head, staring intently at the center of the tree canopy, at the fruit that was already faintly glowing with golden light.
He murmured to himself, "The fruit is ripe."
Suddenly, a series of sounds of collapse rang out.
The entire golden tree slowly withered, all its nutrients flowing into this ripe fruit, making its inherent immortal Daoist essence even more intense, more brilliant, and more profound.
"Splash..."
99
In just a few breaths, the canopy could cover a tree with a radius of approximately 37.4 billion meters, disintegrate into ashes, and vanish into nothingness.
A shard fell, along with a golden seed and... a golden apple?
Xiong Zhou blinked, picked up the pixel-art golden seed and the equally pixel-art golden apple, and opened the information panel: [Name: Golden Apple · Seed Level: Refinement Level 6 (Peak)]
Status: Vigorous Life Description: This is a seed that can bear golden apple trees. Special: Blessed by Abundance, Spiritual Creature, Ancient Refinement, Convergence of Blazing Sun 5. Undying Vitality: Possesses undying vitality and cannot be destroyed by power below the sixth level of Refinement. 6. Blessing of Longevity: Can bear fruits that increase lifespan. Notes:
1. Longevity-Enhancing Fruit: Effective at refinement level six and below; the first use doubles lifespan, the second halves the effect, and the third halves it again; with each additional use, the effect decreases proportionally. 2. Beware of Abundance
【Name: Undying Sacred Body - Bloodline Fruit Level: Refinement Level 6 - Complete Category: Bloodline Special Resource Description: Originating from a bloodline crystallization, it was nourished by the blood and bones of an Undying Sacred Body that had undergone a zombie transformation and whose cultivation was close to immortality, resulting in a rise and replenishment of resource level. Special: Abundant Favor, Spiritual Abomination, Ancient Refinement, Undying Vitality, Fruit of Longevity Remarks: Fruit of Longevity, Beware of Abundant】
"No, what abundance are you being wary of?"
"How come seeds and fruits, based on the principles of heaven and earth, already carry the four words 'warning and abundance'?"
"Abundance is a good thing, why be wary?"
Xiong Zhou strongly suspected that when he planted the seed in the red-haired corpse, the corpse still had some faint consciousness.
Then, they directly caused trouble on his seeds and fruits, writing this defamatory statement on the level of the laws of heaven and earth!
What happened to you, Fengrao?!
With a hint of resentment, Xiong Zhou put away the seeds and fruits and picked up the shards.
"Um?"
"Is this what they call a fragment of a celestial artifact?"
"It looks quite ordinary. Is this really a fragment of a time-related immortal artifact?"
Xiong Zhou examined the roughly thumb-sized fragment, attempting to activate it with his abundant Qi, but to no avail.
The power of [Authority: Abundance] was activated, stirring up the source of the Azure Sky Realm and pouring it in, but there was still no reaction.
This thing seems to have completely fallen silent, without the slightest response.
Xiong Zhou scratched his head, looking confused.
"How did that ancient, remnant soul manage to use this thing?"
"And that ancient, immortal holy body—how did he use this thing when he was alive?"
After studying it for a while, I didn't gain anything at all.
"The only way is to wait for Senior Uncle Lu to return and let this Qi Refining Immortal see him."
99
Suddenly, Xiong Zhou sensed a faint power probing into his own world, exerting an unfathomable influence.
In the cosmic environment, wisps of pixelated dust, silently and temporarily freed from Xiong Zhou's control, gathered and formed images in his eyes in a way that manipulated the traces of time, arranging them into words.
[Chain Quest 4, Break Through the Calamity, Completed]
[The performance of the members of the Mountain and River Squad has been uploaded to the Tai Li Sky Network, and they have received the 4th round of mission score.]
[No recap of this mission]
[The ranking competition for the first level of True Discipleship has officially concluded.]
[Thirty breaths later, teleportation begins, leaving the Azure Sky Realm and returning to the Tai Li Immortal Sect]
Once these five lines of characters have gathered and formed, and then dissipated again, a new line of characters will appear.
[Xiao Zhou, hurry up and get out of this thing, it's time to go home.]
Xiong Zhou was taken aback.
hiss....
That tone seems somewhat familiar?
Using his authority within the Azure Sky Realm, Xiong Zhou stepped out of the Azure Sky Realm and arrived at the Sea of Void.
The extreme weakness caused by the loss of the Azure Sky Realm surged wildly from all parts of his body, but the imagined oncoming void wave did not appear.
Upon closer inspection, a tall, muscular old man, whose wide robes bulged out of his body, stood in front of Xiong Zhou with a kind smile on his face.
It was none other than Senior Uncle Lu. Where he was, the surging waves of the Void Sea subsided, becoming as smooth and still as a mirror.
The environment of the Void Sea was suppressed here, clearly to take care of Xiong Zhou, a junior cultivator at the first level of the Refinement Realm, so that he could stand steadily within it without any negative effects.
Uncle Lu, with his hands behind his back, looked at Xiong Zhou's weak expression and said with a smile, "Not feeling well, are you?"
"This is the path of the sage: to govern the laws of heaven and earth and to exercise authority and power within heaven and earth."
"Once separated from the blessings of Heaven and Earth, or from a distance that is too great, the power of Heaven and Earth's authority will weaken, or even become unusable."
"In this situation, one needs to advance their path to sainthood to the seventh level of the Refining Spirit Saint realm before things can improve."
"But it's only a slight improvement. In the Void Sea, it's still no match for the immortals on the path of cultivation."
Xiong Zhou nodded, a knowing look on his face.
Master Lu was reminding him that if he wanted to be carefree and unbound by the world, the most crucial path of cultivation was still the path of refining the Dao.
Even if one's cultivation on the path to sainthood goes very smoothly, it is only a supplementary practice; one must not confuse the primary and secondary aspects.
Based on my current understanding, this is indeed the case.
Master Lu slowly looked to the side, nodded to the six Tai Li stewards standing in a row, and said, "Thank you all for your hard work in this ranking competition for the first level of the Refinement Realm."
The six Tai Li stewards bowed in unison and replied, "It is our duty. Elder Lu, you flatter us."
Master Lu nodded slightly, then looked at the dragon standing next to the six Tai Li stewards, who was very restrained, and pointed at him.
A golden stream of light appeared before Nangong Qi, evolving into various immortal Dao patterns that formed a complete chapter.
"Little dragon of the Ancient Dragon Palace, I think this scripture will be much more helpful to you than trying to comprehend an object engraved with immortal Dao patterns."
Nangong Qi immediately bowed, his face beaming with joy, and promptly put the scripture away.
"Of course, of course, thank you Elder Lu."
Master Lu looked at the six Tai Li stewards again with a smile on his face.
"My fellow disciples, I'll be taking Xiao Zhou with me now."
The six Tai Li stewards, with respectful expressions, bowed in unison once again.
"Elder Lu, please take care."
Master Lu nodded, waved his sleeve, and wisps of magical power spread out, covering his own figure and Xiong Zhou's figure, and they disappeared into the sea of void.
After the sect elders left, the tense expressions of the six Tai Li stewards relaxed slightly.
Then the five Tai Li deacons all looked at the tall, imposing senior deacon with a thick beard and hair, who was carrying a dark yellow staff on his back, as if they were signaling something.
The senior disciple's face darkened, and he muttered, "I know, I know. I bear the primary responsibility for this True Disciple Competition."
He picked up the long stick behind him, put it in his mouth, and took a bite.
"Click...click..."
This is the sound of a heart breaking, and also a sadness about what will soon become a hot topic in the future.
The senior disciple, whose hair was tied up with a crown and had a few strands of silver in it, asked softly to the other senior disciple, who held a bronze bell and exuded an aura of ethereal grace, "How should we enter our information into the Tai Li Heavenly Network for this year's ranking competition for the first level of True Disciple Refinement?"
The senior deacon, holding a bronze bell and exuding an ethereal aura, glanced at the senior deacon with a few strands of silver hair and said indifferently, "Enter it the same way you always have."
The tall, imposing senior butler with a thick beard and hair stared wide-eyed.
The same reporting method used in previous years should be used for this year's reporting.
That junior brother Xiong Zhou cheated by using outside help, and he did it three times in a row!
Shouldn't this be a priority report?!
It seemed to know what this tall, bearded senior deacon was thinking.
The senior disciple, holding a bronze bell and exuding an ethereal aura, looked at him with a hint of helplessness in his voice: "Junior Brother Xiong Zhou's immortal elders have personally come to pick him up, what more do you want?"
"The main targets of this ranking competition for true disciples are naturally our sect's junior brothers Chen Fan and Yan Feng. The scenario we have prepared is also based on them."
"But the Azure Sky Realm, this outer world, was brought back from the vast Void Sea by Elder Lu, a Qi Refining Immortal of this sect."
The other five Tai Li stewards fell silent, offering no further objections.
After all, Elder Lu, the Qi Refining Immortal who personally brought back the resources, had no objections, so what objections could they, the disciples of Tai Li, possibly have?
Just follow the procedure, report normally, and enter the information into the Taili Skynet normally.
