The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 1032: Chapter 1032: Fairy Flower Ridge

”Boom!”

Under the combined spell of Yao and other powerful Flower Fairies, the towering Mother Tree, along with billions of cubic soil and rock at its base, was uprooted, causing the entire Fairy Flower Valley to shake violently.

Shen Mo stood in front of the tree, wielding the Taiyi Sword to unleash a Fairyland Sword Qi.

The magnificent and dazzling sword light flashed by, as if opening up a new world, accompanied by intense spatial fluctuations, the Flower Fairy Mother Tree vanished within the sword light.

This spirit wood that nurtured the Flower Fairy clan was too gigantic for the ordinary Golden Flowery Realm to contain, so it had to be temporarily placed within the Sword Zone until a suitable location was found to replant it back at Five Dragon Mountain.

”Fellow daoist Shen, we are ready.”

The Flower Fairy clan bid farewell to this piece of land where they had dwelled for generations and gathered in front of Shen Mo.

Shen Mo nodded slightly and released endless sword Qi, collecting every Flower Fairy into the Sword Zone. After sweeping his sense to ensure nothing was missed, he then used the Sword Escape skill to fly toward the Phoenix Continent.

It took Shen Mo two days to reach Fairy Flower Valley from the Red Flame Sect, but the return journey took half a month.

Primarily because he encountered an unknown evil spirit on the way, which could strip him of his perception of time and space. Later, Shen Mo realized something was wrong and directly used the Reverse Yin and Yang to switch his real and standing bodies, thus escaping the influence of the evil spirit!

When Shen Mo’s real body appeared in the Green Cloud Cave, he discovered that unknowingly, more than ten days had passed, causing him to break into a cold sweat instantly.

For ordinary cultivators, they might continue to circle in the evil spirit’s area until their lifespan expired, thinking only a brief moment had passed!

Of course, even if Shen Mo didn’t have the skill of Reverse Yin and Yang, he possessed many methods to counter the bizarre features of the evil spirit and break free.

If worse comes to worst, there’s still Guan Ling backing him. Less than twenty years remain until the next entry into the cultivation world, by then, Guan Ling will personally intervene. His Death Jaw real body holds a trace of space-time laws, effectively countering the evil spirit’s deprivation of creatures’ space-time perception. However, if this is the case, the Flower Fairy Mother Tree within the Sword Zone may suffer vitality damage due to a lack of nourishment from earth and spiritual vein.

Within the Immortal Realm, drifting countless evil spirits, Shen Mo quickly put the matter behind his mind, then stepped out of the cave paradise, releasing all Flower Fairies to freely choose a suitable habitat on Five Dragon Mountain.

Soon, the Flower Fairy clan settled on a location, a wild ridge six thousand miles from the outer mountain gate of the Red Flame Sect.

The environment there is serene, with lush spiritual plants. Originally, it was an important spiritual medicine resource production area of the Red Flame Sect. Shen Mo thought briefly before allocating the wild ridge to the Flower Fairies. After all, their presence not only won’t affect the spiritual medicine yield but will enhance the quality of spiritual medicine greatly.

After planting the Flower Fairy Mother Tree, Shen Mo informed the higher-ups of the Red Flame Sect and other forces on the mountain and then stopped concerning himself further.

The Heaven Patrolling and Torch Dragon factions possess a multitude of worldly mortals, who need disciples from the Red Flame Sect to carefully tend when moving to Five Dragon Mountain, whereas Flower Fairies birthed from the Mother Tree possess Class II cultivation and can generally advance to Class III upon maturity, possessing strength comparable to the Spirit Sea Realm and being highly skilled in Wood-type magical abilities, they can completely care for themselves.

Half a month later, the wild ridge was transformed by the Flower Fairy clan into a second Fairy Flower Valley, showing lush vegetation and thriving vitality, even thickening nature’s spiritual energy somewhat.

Zhao Lingyin, who was cultivating in the Dragon Heart Realm, is heard of the matter and went back to the Immortal Realm with a group of maid and disciples, hurried to visit the Flower Fairy clan, even touched the Flower Fairy Mother Tree. Knowing she was Shen Mo’s Dao companion, Yao gifted her some mother tree sap.

Shen Mo initially planned for Zhao Lingyin’s return to the Immortal Realm after the Earth Yuan Array was completely perfected. However, he couldn’t persuade her otherwise and had to follow and guard her to prevent Lord Blue Venerable from sudden aggression, fortunately, things stayed peaceful during the period.

Zhao Lingyin remained in the Immortal Realm for only a month before returning to the Dragon Heart Realm...

On one hand, she didn’t want to delay Shen Mo’s cultivation.

On the other hand, she could leverage the Stars Circulation Array to refine the origin power of Yuan Monarch’s Dharma Body in the Lower Realm, accelerating her cultivation speed to an astounding level.

In merely twenty short years, Zhao Lingyin consolidated her early-stage Divine Bridge cultivation. It won’t be long before she breaks through to the middle-stage Divine Bridge Realm, faster than cultivating ”The Sutra of Cloudy and Rainy from Wushan” with Shen Mo. She understands the rarity of immortal fate, so in the Lower Realm, apart from researching Alchemy Path, she practices cultivation in seclusion.

Moreover, the Evil-eating Sky Centipede in the Lower Realm devoured lingering evil Qi left by Tree Demons and ascended to Class VI several years ago, its monster body becoming more and more indestructible, with only a white mark left by the tribulation thunder on it. However, its gnosis remains muddle-minded and ignorant, with no progress.

Due to Yuan Monarch’s Dharma Body yet to be fully refined, Tree Demons within Horned Flood Dragon Nine Realms are not completely eradicated, thus the Evil-eating Sky Centipede must continue staying in the Lower Realm. Otherwise, the evil Qi after slaying Tree Demons couldn’t be processed.

Shen Mo estimates that the primality of Yuan Monarch’s Dharma Body is enough to elevate the nature’s spiritual energy of Horned Flood Dragon Nine Realms to a higher level, furthermore enabling Zhao Lingyin to cultivate all the way to Formless Realm Peak, and transforming the Evil-eating Sky Centipede to late-stage Class VI!

...

Vacuous Zone, GuanYun Mansion.

A dingy dragon scale floated in front of Shen Mo, seemingly ordinary, but under the Destiny’s [Method Eye Candle Wisp], its uniqueness was revealed.

It contained an extremely terrifying power, if it bursts forth, would be enough to render the entire Phoenix Continent into a Spiritless Land; what’s more, it hides extremely profound truths of the Immortal Path, if completely mastered could even ascend seamlessly to become the most top-tier existence in True Immortal Realm!

However, this terrifying power and these truths of the Immortal Path couldn’t be claimed by Shen Mo unless he relinquished all protection and allowed this eighth-order dragon scale to corrupt himself, possibly being distorted into a seventh-order True Dragon immensely close to the eighth-order.

After repeated pondering, Shen Mo ultimately stowed away the dragon scale.

The best use of it, naturally, would be like Su Qingtao, refining it into a celestial talisman, but at the moment, Shen Mo lacks the capacity for such a task.

Currently a Grade six Talisman Maker, capable of creating Grade VII talismans, yet without having ascended to immortal, he contains no immortal source, thus the created talismans are mortal rather than celestial, though he could accumulate Clear Spirit Qi to substitute True Immortal primal power to infuse into the talisman forcibly crafting Grade VII celestial talisman, yet doing so would severely affect his cultivation progress!

Additionally, drawing runes on the eighth-order dragon scale would require procuring matching materials for blending spirit ink.

Using talisman path manuals sourced from Dreamland alongside years of experience in making talisman, Shen Mo calculated three spirit ink formulas, but each entails a key ingredient, namely a large quantity of different varieties of seventh-order True Dragon dragon blood.

”The Dragon Suppression Tablet at Hidden Dragon River supposedly retains a lot of seventh-order True Dragon dragon blood. Once I ascend to True Immortal, I can visit Ao Hao, perhaps obtain some!”
