Chapter 397: Chapter 229: Accumulated Great Virtue, The Ultimate Defense Treasure Cheng Kong Master is a very professional, or at least a very dedicated salesman... er, lobbyist. Since he tempted Zheng Fa with the Qingjing Bamboo, he naturally gave an extremely detailed introduction to Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots. And Zheng Fa, whether for the sake of the Jiushan Realm or the Fusang Wood in his stomach, was indeed very interested. “The so-called Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots are different from ordinary Spirit Plants in that...” seeing Zheng Fa listening attentively, Cheng Kong Master’s enthusiasm was even higher, “if a Pocket World possesses such a Spirit Root, it can connect heaven and earth.” Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa asked, “Is Master saying that the inability of immortals and mortals to communicate in the Jiushan Realm is due to the absence of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots?” “Exactly, in fact, there are other methods to connect immortals and mortals. For instance, once your cultivation is high enough, relying on your own Divine Skills, you could connect the barriers of heaven and earth without needing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots.” Cheng Kong Master chuckled softly as he said this: “Like the original owner of your Heavenly Stele Realm, who probably did just that.” “However, such methods require extremely high cultivation. In our Supreme Dao, we have only...” At this point, he seemed to realize he had spoken out of turn and stopped. Zheng Fa, as if he hadn’t heard a word, was just pondering in his heart. Supreme Dao is renowned among the Xuanwei Five Sects for its ancient history and profound heritage, so he was not surprised they knew about the Divine Dao Era. But according to what Cheng Kong Master said, their research in this Pocket World had even surpassed the Heavenly Venerate of Jiushan Realm in the past. As expected... times are gradually progressing. He turned to Cheng Kong Master and asked, “Apart from connecting immortals and mortals, what other benefits does this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root have?” Seeing him ask this, Cheng Kong Master sensed Zheng Fa’s keen interest in the topic and was even more candid: “If a Pocket World integrates with a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root, then as the spiritual root matures, the world will naturally become much stronger, out of reach for ordinary great powers to invade lightly.” “Compared to connecting immortals and mortals, this is the true purpose of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots!” “The stronger the spiritual root, the more benefits it will offer to the Pocket World, or rather, it will make the Pocket World increasingly perfect. There are rumors that, in the end, the Pocket World could even become a real world...” Cheng Kong Master’s voice had a wistful tone, as if he felt that this idea was too distant to reach. He then pointed to the Qingjing Bamboo again, “Aside from that, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots can also be regarded as a natural Spiritual Treasure, with boundless power.” Zheng Fa looked over at the Qingjing Bamboo and saw a few yellowing sharp leaves, and asked curiously: “This spirit bamboo...” Cheng Kong Master heaved a sigh, not concealing the truth: “If it were not for some issues with the Pure Bamboo that prevent it from merging with the Pocket World, I would not be able to take it out of the Supreme Dao. My purpose for this trip is twofold: naturally, one is to deal with the Great Freedom Demon Sect, and the other is to find a way to solve the problem with this Qingjing Bamboo.” “These two matters are actually one and the same. Although I am somewhat confident, the Great Freedom Demon Sect has been lying low for hundreds of thousands of years, and once they emerge, without the assistance of this Qingjing Bamboo...” Zheng Fa looked at Cheng Kong Master in surprise; this man was a bit too forthright. Cheng Kong Master seemed to understand his astonishment and laughed, “Since I have invited you to join the Supreme Dao, of course, I need to explain clearly to you.” “Otherwise, if I were to be shamefully defeated by the Great Freedom Demon Sect in the future, it could cause you to doubt the strength of our Supreme Dao.” Zheng Fa pressed further: “May I know how Master compares to an ordinary Divinity Transformation?” “Ordinary Divinity Transformation? Oh, you mean Tongming?” ? You didn’t bring Tongming Master with you to scheme behind his back? Cheng Kong Master unexpectedly answered off-topic: “You want to ask about the path after Divinity Transformation, right?” “...Yes.” “Actually, it’s difficult for me to explain clearly,” Cheng Kong Master was extremely patient and continued to explain: “After Divinity Transformation, there’s no set path.” “...” Zheng Fa’s eyes widened. “The Supreme Dao, the various Demon Sects, and even... Tianhe Sect, all have different choices on this path. For example, the next realm after Divinity Transformation in our Supreme Dao is Yang God, but for Tianhe Sect, their next realm is called Union, as for the Demon Sects, they follow a different path, walking the lineage of the Dharma Body.” His explanation was vague, and Zheng Fa also listened with confusion but also understood—this is probably the distinction between different cultivation methods over several epochs. Even the Tianhe Sect has a different approach compared to the Supreme Dao? Cheng Kong Master added: “Tongming has not entered our Supreme Dao, naturally he would not receive the True Inheritor.” He only mentioned that Tongming Master has not received the true teachings, not comparing his strength with Tongming Master’s, but it was clear—he was probably far superior to Tongming Master. “But as for me, I am just a True Inheritor within the Supreme Dao... our Supreme Dao’s profound heritage far exceeds what people imagine.” “Then...” Zheng Fa wondered, “Why are there not many Supreme Dao disciples in the Xuanwei Realm?” “Because we are not in the Xuanwei Realm.” “...Pocket World?” Zheng Fa suddenly understood. Cheng Kong Master said with a smile: “Our Supreme Dao possesses more than just one Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root.” “...” Zheng Fa grasped the implications of Cheng Kong Master’s words; not only do they have a Pocket World, but they also possess Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots other than the Qingjing Bamboo... If the world could grow along with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots, then after so many years, the Pocket World they reside in might be much larger than the Jiushan Realm. “Then this Xuanwei Realm? Is it also a Pocket World?” Zheng Fa asked again. “No, the feature of a Pocket World is that its rules are special, or rather, incomplete.” “The Xuanwei Realm... is quite unique.” Zheng Fa looked at Cheng Kong Master in confusion, only to see Cheng Kong Master with his mouth closed, seemingly not want to say a single word more. Recalling the way he was near to spilling everything just before, Zheng Fa understood—the Xuanwei Realm... was indeed very special. ... Cheng Kong Master changed the topic: “Don’t think that just because I mentioned the Supreme Dao has other Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots, they are easy to find.”
