Chapter 296 Innate Spiritual Root
"Another great god of the Yuan realm has been born."
Taohou was on his way through a rainbow gap, and now he stopped to wait for Chen Zhu's response.
He closed his eyes and checked the slight changes in the myriad paths. If he was not careful, he might overlook the changes.
"Another great god was born? Is he an innate god?"
Taohou was shocked when he heard this: "It is getting more and more difficult to understand the current era."
There is an immortal god who can achieve enlightenment with just one word.
There are also those who are born in the realm of origin.
There is even the great god Taiping who has broken through to the realm of infinity!
In the past, this was unthinkable. How could one achieve success overnight?
"He deserves that realm. Using an era as the price is too expensive, even much more than that."
Chen Zhu shook his head slowly: "Let's go, that existence is quite special, it's not an innate god nor a new god."
They continued to move forward, and after walking for an unknown period of time, they suddenly saw a red cloud.
This is Taohou's journey through space. He has already traveled countless billions of miles.
Before I got close, I heard bursts of hearty singing coming from the clouds:
"I see the misty and immovable dust, and the dust becomes even lighter when it sees me coming, so that the heaven and earth can be blessed, and all I see are red clouds..."
Amid the singing, there was a sudden sound:
"Who is the fellow Taoist in front?"
The red clouds parted, and inside was a Taoist priest in a red robe, with a kind face, walking barefoot on the red clouds.
"What luck!"
Chen Zhu hurriedly asked Taohou to face the enemy and not to dodge.
"what?"
Taohou muttered quietly: "Brother, this is obviously a fairy god in the Yuan Realm. Look, the Tao principles on his body are exactly the same as those of heaven and earth. How can we use tricks to deceive him?"
"You are really too proud. When did I ever say I wanted to suppress this Yuan Realm existence?"
Chen Zhu was speechless. "This person has kind eyes and a good personality. Whether we can find the Immortal God of Heart and Wisdom depends on him."
Before he could finish his words, red clouds were already approaching.
All of a sudden, there was a burst of spiritual light all around, and the red clouds brought an incredible aura of blessing.
Taohou felt his body lighten, and the injuries that had accumulated from before and the blocked qi and blood caused by sitting still for a long time all began to flow more actively.
This is a cloud of blessing.
At this time, Chen Zhu was also amazed. He felt the effect of the earth immortal in this blessed cloud.
In other words, this great god in the Yuan realm is still practicing the way of immortality and has already entered the realm of earthly immortals.
"My friend, I was born in the Red Cloud, the Red Cloud Ancestor."
The visitor revealed his identity, which made Chen Zhu want to come out and see for himself.
Ask the other person whether he would like to give away his Red Cloud Gourd.
Oh... the other party should not have obtained the Red Cloud Gourd at this time. Besides, it is still unclear whether this great god is as easy to talk to as in the myth.
He asked Taohou to test it out.
"So you are the Red Cloud Ancestor. I am Taohou, the Taotie Ancestor."
Taohou introduced himself and quietly observed the reaction in the man's eyes.
Patriarch Hongyun did not look down on Taohou because of his status. Instead, he laughed and said:
"So it's you, my little Taoist friend. Meeting is destiny. I'm just about to go look for an opportunity. Why don't you come with me?"
That’s easy to say!
Chen Zhu asked Taohou to nod in agreement and follow him.
There was a gleam of wisdom in Taohou's eyes, and he was secretly communicating with Chen Zhu through his thoughts.
"Brother, this Yuanjing Great God seems to be easy to talk to and has a gentle temperament."
"Tell me, if I ask him to do me a small favor, will he agree?"
"Don't drag me into this if you want to get yourself killed. I don't even need to lift a finger to kill you."
Chen Zhu asked Taohou to ask what kind of opportunity it was and to indirectly find out where the great god Xinhui was.
"Oh, speaking of which, Daoist Fellow Xinhui is going too."
Ancestor Hongyun did not doubt him and said with a smile: "What a good opportunity! Do you know that after the creation of the world, there were exercises on earth, water, fire and wind?"
Taohou knew something about this matter, but he wasn’t very clear...wait...you guys?
Taohou was shocked and screamed in his heart: "Brother! You've been discovered! Brother! Let's run!"
"Why are you panicking?"
Chen Zhu emerged from Taohou's mouth and bowed to Hongyun, saying:
"The great god is indeed worthy of being the first red cloud-enlightened great god in the world, with a keen eye!"
Seeing the other person's confident look, he explained:
"I was originally cultivating in the mouth of this gluttonous roar, but I didn't expect to meet the ancestor. I was afraid that the ancestor would think that I was deliberately hiding something, so I didn't dare to speak out. I hope the ancestor will understand."
His reason was sufficient. The slight displeasure on Hong Yun's face disappeared and he smiled again:
"My little Taoist friend, your magical power is quite good. If I hadn't cultivated my spiritual sense very deeply, I would not have noticed you."
After letting Chen Zhu come out, he said, "I see that your true form is a coffin-like being. It is truly miraculous."
The ancient world is so vast that there are all kinds of strange things. This made the old ancestor Hongyun laugh out loud and feel very happy.
"Ancestor Hongyun, I call myself Taoist Song Zhong. It is an honor to make you smile."
Taohou's eyes widened, he really admired the way his brother handled things calmly.
If it were me, I would have been terrified by now, but Chen Zhu was still able to chat and laugh with a Yuan Realm boss at this moment.
More importantly, Hong Yun only saw through the body of Chen Zhu’s coffin and did not see his true appearance inside the coffin.
What a joke! Chen Zhu was pleased with himself. Did he think that the master of the Third Cave was joking?
"Little Taoist friend, I will take you to find an opportunity."
The Red Cloud Ancestor led the way ahead. In the red clouds there were the ethereal avenues, the avenues of wisdom, the avenues of blessings, and so on.
But these together weaved into the Red Cloud Avenue. They continued to advance in the cloud. The Red Cloud Patriarch then said to them:
"The place we are going to now is the place that was formed from the origin of earth, water, fire and wind after the creation of the world."
"Oh?"
Chen Zhu's heart moved. The heaven and earth were eroded by chaos before, and then the innate nature was reversed, and the earth, water, fire and wind were naturally reshaped once again.
The place we are going to now should be one of the origins of the four major elements.
At this time, Patriarch Hongyun explained to them:
"That place is incredible. When the God of Fire came to earth, it was stimulated and a bunch of roots actually grew there."
"Everyone felt it in their hearts and knew that this was the opportunity. I also felt it."
Chen Zhu couldn't help but look at Taohou again.
This guy seems to be really lucky. He just went out and encountered such a good thing.
I am afraid that I have encountered such a good thing as the origin of the earth, one of the innate elements of water, fire and wind. I am afraid that I have benefited from Taohou.
However, this also shows that Patriarch Hongyun is truly a true god of blessings.
On the way, Hongyun also asked them why they were in such a hurry to travel between the gaps in the rainbow?
Hearing this, before Taohou could say anything, a look of grief and anger quickly rose on Chen Zhu's face!
"To be honest, we were being chased by the dragon tribe and had no choice but to flee in a hurry."
Hong Yun was shocked: "Dragon clan? How did you get involved with that race?"
He was not afraid, but worried about the two of them: "You have already achieved the realm of human immortals, but you are still being hunted down. The one who attacked you is the ancestor of the heavenly immortals?"
"No, if you can't escape even if it's the ancestor of the Celestial Immortal, could it be the Illusionary God who just recently attained enlightenment?"
"No."
Chen Zhu took a deep breath and said:
"We were invited by the immortal god of the dragon clan to be their guest, but who knew that we accidentally encountered a big secret in their ancestral land, and that's why we were hunted down."
"In fact, I just lied to the ancestor. I was not in the mouth of the Taohou because I was practicing. I was hiding in it. If I fight back, the Second Ancestor of the Dragon Clan will definitely notice it."
"Taohou saved me out of righteousness. He really gave me a new life."
"The dragon clan is so domineering? They want to kill you just because they discovered a secret?"
"Yes, ancestor, in fact, it's not just me. Taohou is the descendant of Taotie Ancestor and is also ostracized by the dragon clan."
Chen Zhu began to fabricate a tragic life story for Taohou:
"He originally had a good relationship with the dragon clan's priest and was protected by them."
"However, the sacrificial god is dead, and Taotie Zu was once a fierce god among the Chaos Fierce Gods. He killed too many dragons, so he was hated by the dragons."
"Although I didn't kill him, I targeted him everywhere. Otherwise, Daoist Taohou wouldn't have helped me escape from the Dragon Clan."
This tragic life story made the Red Cloud Patriarch's face flush, and the red clouds that rose up surged:
"What did Brother Taohou do wrong? He did nothing, yet he was oppressed like this."
"The dragon race is really not a good thing. They can't tell right from wrong, black from white. When Daoist Xinhui told me about this before, I didn't believe it. I thought, how could there be such a vicious race?"
"Now it seems that I thought too lightly."
Ancestor Hongyun frowned for a while and said, "Don't be afraid. I, Hongyun, hate to see people bullied by taking advantage of their power. Stay by my side and you will be safe!"
As expected of a good guy, he believed it and was not afraid to offend the dragon clan.
Even better, the other party didn't ask them what big secret they had discovered.
Although he didn't ask, Chen Zhu had to tell him, otherwise how would the subsequent plans develop?
He had an angry look on his face:
"Yes, we want to tell the ancestor that there is a clay sculpture in the Jingzhe Mansion of the Dragon Clan, and there are many auras of the Great Dao in the clay sculpture."
"That suspected backup plan of the innate gods is very important, so they are chasing us."
“No matter how important something is, can it be as important as life?” Hong Yun did not approve of the dragon clan’s actions, but there was no greed in his eyes.
It seems that this person is indeed an upright person. Chen Zhu is not anxious. This is just a prelude. After meeting the Immortal God Xinhui, the other party will not be so indifferent.
Taohou remained silent throughout the whole process. After Chen Zhu finished speaking, he could only raise a paw to express his admiration.
It's really amazing. He really still has a long way to learn.
However, this also won the admiration of Patriarch Hongyun, who used Hongyun to accumulate blessings for the two along the way.
Finally they arrived.
This is a chaotic place, surrounded by the origins of the innate elements of heaven and earth.
Wisp after wisp, floating like willow catkins.
However, if you think it is light, you are wrong.
"Don't touch."
Ancestor Hongyun reminded and took out a piece of spiritual bamboo from his arms.
He gently probed into the yellow willow catkins, and the spiritual bamboo was directly pressed into infinitely thin bamboo paper.
As the yellow matter moved gently, a huge force was pulled on the spiritual bamboo, and even Ancestor Hongyun couldn't hold it, so the spiritual bamboo was twisted in.
In the blink of an eye, those seemingly harmless and weightless spiritual bamboos were completely crushed without a trace.
"hiss!"
Taohou, who was only a few steps away from Liuxu, quickly hid in the red cloud and did not dare to move forward another step.
"These are the essence of the earth, they are extremely thick and heavy, even I have to be careful."
The world today is no longer the era of ferocious beasts, it is now terrifyingly powerful.
Especially after the emergence of the Wuji Realm, these words, the thick origin of the earth, are at least the existence of the Wuji Realm!
What is Wuji? It means having no boundaries, no limit, infinite, and extremely mysterious.
Hongyun led them forward, carefully avoiding the floating "catkins" and moving forward all the way.
After a while, they saw a tree!
It was a sacred tree that grew on the endless source of Qi of the earth, and there were many fruits on the tree.
The sacred tree actually feeds on the essence of the earth. It is really amazing. The roots penetrated the terrible essence without being harmed at all.
And all around, immortals and gods have arrived.
At least they are all terrifying beings in the Yuan realm, and are truly great masters between heaven and earth!
"Daoist Hongyun, long time no see!"
The great gods in Yuan Realm bowed and congratulated one after another, and Chen Zhu also saw the great god Xinhui among them.
That being was closest to the sacred tree, and his eyes were full of amazement.
To their great god, this tree can be regarded as a sacred object.
"Fellow Daoist, am I not late?"
Ancestor Hongyun laughed and said, "I encountered a small incident on the way, which caused me to be two steps slower."
"Not too late, not too late."
Patriarch Jin Xing came over and said with a smile: "The fruit of this spiritual root sacred tree is not yet ripe, and you have come at the right time."
Hearing this, Patriarch Hongyun laughed heartily again, and finally introduced Chen Zhu and Taohou:
"The one in front is Patriarch Xinhui, and the one next to him is Patriarch Jinxing. They are both fellow Taoists at the same level as me."
"Hello, two ancestors!"
Chen Zhu met them one by one, and Hong Yun nodded and asked:
"These two little Taoist friends are..."
"Oh, these two little Taoist friends were persecuted by the dragon clan. I saw them and brought them to Yi Bo for an opportunity."
When Hongyun talked about this, he couldn't help but recount their experiences. Although he only mentioned it briefly, Chen Zhu still saw the gleam in the eyes of Patriarch Xinhui.
Ha ha.
At the Wuji place outside Yuhou Mountain, Taoist Taiping took Chen Zhu's fishing rod and lifted it lightly, expressing his surprise.
"A fish actually took the bait?"
……
"Little Taoist friend, I have an old grudge with the Dragon Clan. Tell me in detail later."
Patriarch Xinhui paid a little attention, and his eyes seemed to see through Chen Zhu.
It turned out that the coffin was the source of enlightenment. No, there seemed to be something else in the coffin. He couldn't see it clearly. It vaguely seemed to be a scale.
It’s good that it’s not a dragon clan, Xinhui thought about it.
Later, I have to look after these two little Taoist friends, to make sure they don't get accidentally hurt by chance.
The spiritual root is still gestating, absorbing the innate elemental energy of the earth.
Hong Yun was slightly startled: "Daoists, have you found anything under the earth elemental qi?"
He stretched out his hand and pointed, and saw that there seemed to be a dark shadow under the boundless earth element.
It’s just that there are too many ethereal innate elemental qi, and no one is sure.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Who can get in here?"
The Wood Element Patriarch shook his head and said, "I don't know who will get this opportunity in the future."
That was the earth womb that was stirred up by the God of Fire before, and no one knew what was inside.
"That's hard to say, but maybe I can give it a try."
Ancestor Hongyun saw the floating yellow qi and said: "When this spiritual root matures, I will give it a try."
After that, everyone waited quietly.
Chen Zhu looked at the spiritual root and his mind began to become active.
"Brother, do you want to do it?"
Taohou approached and whispered, "These ancestors obviously only want the fruits. We can quietly dig up the spiritual roots when the time comes."
Spiritual roots of heaven and earth usually wither after producing their essence, and this tree should be similar.
But Taohou still wanted to give it a try. What if the spiritual roots here could come back to life later?
"We'll see later."
Chen Zhu did not answer, but stared at the mixed yellow innate elemental Qi below.
Some extremely distant memories gradually emerged from his heart. Those memories belonged to him and yet did not belong to him.
Gods were once born from the four elements, and the God of Earth was also born from these elements. He was born to be extremely noble and almost represented the body of the Father God.
But in the end, he still died, and he didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong.
Suddenly, they smelled a fragrance and the eyes of the ancestors lit up!
"Flowering!"
Sure enough, the sacred tree blossomed and they stared at it without blinking.
Patriarch Shenxun took two steps forward, as if he wanted to pick some flowers.
"Don't worry, my friend. If one flower is missing, there will be one less fruit."
After Patriarch Muhua gave a reminder, Patriarch Shenxun had to give up.
Chen Zhu discovered that everyone seemed to like to call themselves the ancestor, but he was different.
From his observations, these new gods are not monolithic.
For example, five great gods of the Yuan realm were born on Mount Wuhua.
The ancestor Mu Hua here is one of them.
But not far away, there is another ancestor of the Wood Element, who was also born from the Qi of the Five Elements. Now the principles of the two overlap.
They are all of the innate wood path, and the aura above their heads is half black and half purple.
If one wants to achieve the complete Purple Venerable Luck, one party must perish and have all the luck taken away.
Chen Zhu observed quietly and found that the two hardly looked at each other.
"hehe."
He smiled lightly. The new gods had one more disadvantage compared to the innate gods.
Because there will never be a second innate god like him in the world, and once the authority of another innate god is plundered, the plundered will never be able to defeat the plunderer.
Like the God of Prediction, he has always been avoiding the God of Dreams.
The fragrance of the flowers lasted for a full 129,600 years, and after one cycle, they finally began to bear fruit, which lasted another 129,600 years.
One yuan will bloom and one yuan will bear fruit. Chen Zhumeng's eyes widened.
That fruit, which was the spirit of heaven and earth, actually took on the form of a human.
"Hurrah!"
The great god Xinhui counted carefully: "One, two..."
"Twelve fruits. This spiritual root is truly divine. Twelve fruits are more than I thought."
After all, some spiritual roots will only produce one to three fruits in the end.
Chen Zhu looked at the fruit tree carefully, but was not very sure.
This spiritual root that grows on the innate elemental qi of heaven and earth, might it be the legendary grass elixir?
