Investiture of the Gods Xiao Sheng, the Poor Taoist Priest, Even Rogue Cultivators Have Human Rights

Chapter 78: Peeping beyond the wilderness, the secret that shocked the world!Chapter 78: Peeping beyond the wilderness, the secret that shocked the world!
”Existences outside the Great Desolation are spying on us?” Xiao Sheng was shocked when he heard what the system said. Could it be that there are still living beings outside the Great Desolation? And those living beings actually have the power to spy on the Great Desolation?

For a moment, his thoughts were surging like a violent storm. Could it be that after the battle that created the world, the Chaos Demon God did not completely perish, and there were still remnants lurking in the abyss of chaos?
If an extraordinary power fluctuation occurs in the prehistoric continent, will it alert these terrifying beings?

Xiao Sheng shuddered. If this were true, the consequences would be disastrous. He could not help but recall the scene when he used the Eye of Time to explore the Long River of Time, and saw many powerful people such as Kunpeng Demon Master and the Styx Patriarch fall one after another. They were able to escape unscathed during the Conferred God Tribulation, but they might encounter unexpected events in the future, which indicated that a catastrophe more terrifying than the Conferred God Tribulation was about to come.

Could it be that this catastrophe is related to the mysterious creatures outside the ancient times?

Xiao Sheng asked: ”What do you mean by ’the gaze beyond the wilderness’?”

The system responded: ”The level involved in this information is too high-end. The current Hongmeng barrier has not yet reached its peak. If it is explained rashly, there may be a risk of being discovered. Does the host still need to know?”

Xiao Sheng frowned. The creatures outside the prehistoric world were so terrifying that they could be detected just by mentioning them. Even the Hongmeng barrier could not completely block them?

However, Xiao Sheng was calm and would not take risks out of curiosity. He thought for a moment and decided, ”In this case, the matter of Huangzhou Fairy Island will be put on hold for the time being, and the investment will not be returned.”

”Understood.” The system responded.

”The mystery of the ancient times is unfathomable, but the unknown catastrophe is still far away, so there is no need to worry too much. Besides, the Cauldron of Creation is an innate treasure. Even if the investment is not returned, its value is still there. Let’s just drop this matter.” Xiao Sheng felt relieved and his pace returned to a steady state.

After all, his current cultivation level is still shallow and he cannot reach that unfathomable level.

As your cultivation improves in the future, this mysterious veil will be unveiled.

Xiao Sheng raised his hand and took the Cauldron of Creation into his pocket, placing it properly in the Seed of the World.

As a congenital treasure, the Cauldron of Creation can only be initially controlled by one who has reached the realm of Daluo Jinxian. However, he is only at the initial stage of Taiyi Jinxian now, so naturally he cannot refine it.

He was not anxious about this. With his solid cultivation foundation, it was only a matter of time before he could become a Daluo Jinxian, whether in terms of his soul or his body.

Xiao Sheng continued to go deeper into the heart of Huangzhou. After walking about ten thousand miles, he suddenly stopped, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

In front of us, there was a hundred acres of empty land with no grass growing, but there stood a towering plum tree!

The tree is towering into the clouds, with an umbrella-like crown, and every leaf sparkles with brilliant light, as if carved from jade.

What is particularly shocking is that this plum tree is like a huge energy vortex, sweeping the spiritual power between heaven and earth like a tide, rushing straight to the top of the tree, forming a magnificent spiritual power storm that spans heaven and earth. The surging spiritual power seems like an endless primitive wilderness, continuously pouring into the body of the plum tree.

However, even so, this tree is like an insatiable abyss, always madly devouring this endless spiritual power.

This scene seemed to continue endlessly.

Perhaps, only this vast expanse of Huangzhou can bear such a terrifying energy consumption. Under the nourishment of this vast spiritual power, nine golden fruits, as big as fists, hang on the tree. Each of them exudes an amazing Taoist aura and contains extremely powerful power. They sway gently in the wind, shining like nine small suns.

What is particularly peculiar is that two mysterious words are engraved on the surface of each plum.

Although Xiao Sheng did not recognize these words, he could clearly feel the spiritual fluctuations contained in them, allowing him to instantly understand the meaning of these two words:
Huang Zhong!

”Could this be the Huangzhong plum that is ranked first among the ten innate spiritual roots in legend?” Xiao Sheng stared at the towering plum tree in front of him, his eyes filled with unconcealable shock.

This situation is really too outrageous.

Who would have thought that I would encounter such a shocking existence here.

In the ancient world, there are ten supreme innate spiritual roots: the peach tree, the bitter bamboo, the innate Gengjin Bodhi tree, the innate gourd vine, the five-needle pine, the fairy apricot, the Taiyin laurel, the Taiyang hibiscus tree, the ginseng fruit tree, and the yellow plum.

Every spiritual root has immeasurable value and miraculous effect, and they are all priceless treasures in the ancient world.

For example, the bitter bamboo and the innate Gengjin Bodhi tree gave birth to the two heavenly saints Jie Yin and Zhunti respectively.

Another example is the seven gourds produced by the innate gourd vine, each of them has been refined into a top-level innate spiritual treasure, such as the Nine-Nine Red Cloud Soul-Dispersing Gourd, the Demon-Calling Gourd, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, the Purple Gold Gourd, etc. Each of them is famous in the prehistoric world. Even after Nuwa created human beings, the gourd vine turned into a treasure of merit.

The other spiritual roots are equally powerful as these two.

From this we can see the status and power of the ten innate spiritual roots in the prehistoric world!
As for Huangzhongli, it is the most precious among the ten spiritual roots. It goes without saying how precious it is!

More importantly, the yellow plum in front of him was still intact.

Previously, Xiao Sheng had also obtained a five-needle pine with innate spiritual roots. Unfortunately, it was damaged by the residual power of Pangu’s Axe, and there is still a deep crack on it, which is currently being repaired.

The yellow plums in front of us are ripe and ready to be picked!
”It is said that only one Huangzhongli fruit can allow a person to be promoted to a Daluo Jinxian!” Xiao Sheng looked at the nine fruits on the Huangzhongli branch with fiery eyes, his heart was filled with excitement.

Daluo Jinxian is like a natural chasm between heaven and earth. In this boundless primitive world, there is a saying that ”under the way of heaven, all living things are grass and insignificant”, and in fact, it is also true below Daluo Jinxian.

Entering the realm of Daluo Jinxian, the power of the cultivator will achieve a qualitative leap, and will crush the lower-level beings. Numbers are meaningless in front of this realm, no matter how many there are, they can be swept away. Only those who reach this realm can be called true strongmen in the vast wilderness.

Even those saintly disciples who were famous throughout the world, such as the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox Sect, Zhao Gongming, the leader of the outer sect of the Demon Sect, and the Three Goddesses of the Three Heavens Fairy Island, only stopped here.
