Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

213: Chapter 213 The Tree of Creation Bears Fruit, Enlightenment Awakens!Gu Yan had just drawn a trait and was planning to brew a pot of tea to enjoy.

Years ago, the red trait ”immortal lord fuzhe” had triggered once, granting a pot of tea called Taichu Immortal Sprouts.

It was rumored that this tea was made from the tender buds of an Enlightenment Tea Tree, painstakingly cultivated for thirty thousand years by a certain Fairy of the Immortal Realm, supplemented with ninety-nine types of immortal spiritual ingredients, and cellar-aged for a hundred years.

That Fairy was quite renowned in the Immortal Realm; even existences at the Immortal King level rarely had the chance to taste the tea she produced.

Gu Yan had obtained this pot that day and had been reluctant to drink it, but today, being in the right mood, he decided to take it out and savor it.

He reached out to get the tea, but before he could act, his Divine Sense stirred, and he perceived an unusual disturbance outside the Hall of Longevity.

Gu Yan stood up and walked out of the hall.

He saw that the Creation Spirit Tree, located beside the nine-qi chaoyuan tree and the chaos green lotus phantom dao seed, was currently emitting an unusual light.

This tree was manifested from Gu Yan’s blue trait ”Creation Spirit Tree · Blue”; usually, apart from enhancing Spiritual Qi, it had no particularly unique features.

Its greatest function was to bear fruit once every three thousand years, producing nine fruits each time.

The fruit could be consumed directly; a single one could raise a Mortal’s cultivation to the Nascent Soul Realm without any side effects.

If the fruit was not picked and left to hang on the tree for ten thousand years, it would absorb the essence of heaven and earth, mature naturally, fall to the ground, and transform into a living being.

This living being would be born with intelligence, possess cultivation at the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, and be absolutely loyal to the planter.

At this moment, on the Creation Spirit Tree, one fruit was radiating dazzling brilliance.

Gu Yan took a look and raised an eyebrow slightly.

This was different from the trait’s description.

He immediately activated the ”Creation Spirit Tree” trait, closed his eyes to perceive for a moment, and had the answer in his heart.

It turned out that this Creation Spirit Tree had been planted beside the nine-qi chaoyuan tree and the chaos green lotus phantom dao seed, and having been nourished by their auras daily, it had long since mutated.

The nine-qi chaoyuan tree was manifested from a gold trait; gold traits were second only to red traits and possessed incredible power, capable of accelerating the growth of spiritual plants and enhancing their quality.

And that chaos green lotus phantom dao seed was something Gu Yan had obtained years ago by triggering the ”immortal lord fuzhe” trait.

If the Rank of this item were to be classified using trait levels, it would be between orange and gold, and its effects were equally powerful.

With these two forces overlapping, the Creation Spirit Tree had mutated and borne fruit ahead of schedule.

The cost was that instead of the usual nine fruits, all nine had merged into one.

The corner of Gu Yan’s mouth twitched slightly.

He truly hadn’t expected this change.

However, thinking about it, it was normal; any spiritual plant planted next to these two things would find it hard not to mutate.

Before he could think any further, the fruit suddenly fell from the branch to the ground.

Golden light burst forth, then slowly receded.

A young boy appeared on the spot.

The boy looked to be only three or four years old, fair and chubby, with a shiny bald head, large dark eyes, and wearing a small red bellyband; he was extremely cute.

As soon as the boy saw Gu Yan, his eyes lit up; he stumbled over, grabbed Gu Yan’s leg, looked up, and shouted: ”Daddy! Daddy!”

Gu Yan looked down at the little bald head clinging to his leg, remained silent for a moment, and helplessly covered his forehead.

”Don’t call me Daddy.”

The boy tilted his head and thought for a moment: ”Then what should I call you? Revered Master?”

Gu Yan felt that having a little boy call him Revered Master also felt a bit strange.

He thought about how everyone in the Taiyi Dao Sect addressed him and said: ”From now on, just call me Dao Lord.”

The boy nodded thoughtfully, mumbled ”Dao Lord,” seemingly feeling that this title wasn’t as easy to say as ”Daddy,” but he didn’t refute it.

Gu Yan squatted down, looked at the little bald head, and pondered giving him a name.

Since he was manifested from the Creation Spirit Tree and was bald, and considering he had just obtained the ”True Body of Ten Thousand Buddhas” trait, he decided to choose a name with Buddhist meaning.

”From now on, you shall be called Wu Fa.”

The boy blinked: ”Wu Fa?”

”The ’Wu’ of Enlightenment, the ’Fa’ of Ten Thousand Dharmas.”

The boy nodded, seemingly understanding: ”Wu Fa likes this name!”

Gu Yan stood up, looked at the smooth little head, and felt a trace of helplessness in his heart.

He had never been fond of raising children.

Cultivating and watching shows were so comfortable; where would he find the time to coddle a child?

After a moment of thought, he thought of someone...

Gu Yan waved his hand, and taking Wu Fa with him, transformed into a stream of light, landing in a secluded courtyard in the Taiyi Dao Sect.

In the courtyard, Hu Tao was sitting on a stone bench, bored, holding a casual book titled ”The Scholar and the Fox Spirit.”

Seeing Gu Yan descend from the sky, Hu Tao hurriedly hid the book behind her back and then stood up to salute.

”Junior Martial Uncle.”

Gu Yan pushed Wu Fa forward: ”Junior Martial Niece, help your teacher’s uncle take care of this child.”

Wu Fa tilted his head, curiously examining Hu Tao, and then looked at another little girl in the courtyard, Miaohua.

Miaohua was squatting in the corner teasing a butterfly.

Sensing Gu Yan’s aura, she immediately dropped the butterfly, trotted over, and grabbed Gu Yan’s leg.

Then, looking up, she said: ”Daddy, Miaohua missed you so much! Take Miaohua with you!”

Miaohua was born from the nine revolutions profound heaven marvelous flower immortal lotus and was obtained through the ”immortal lord fuzhe” trait.

Ever since she took human form, she had been living with Hu Tao in the Taiyi Dao Sect.

When Little Nezha was still around, the two little girls had a playmate.

Ever since Little Nezha followed Shen Qingyi out to Undergoing Tribulation, Miaohua had no playmate and was bored all day long.

”After Little Nezha left, Miaohua was so bored, so bored.” Miaohua pouted, her eyes teary.

Hu Tao watched from the side and spread her hands, indicating that there was nothing she could do.

Gu Yan felt helpless and had to say: ”Fine, then from now on, you will stay by my side and Cultivate in peace.”

Upon hearing this, Miaohua immediately broke into a smile through her tears.

The little bald boy, Wu Fa, saw Miaohua calling Gu Yan ”Daddy” and saw that Gu Yan had agreed to take her, so he immediately became anxious.

He also imitated Miaohua, hugged Gu Yan’s other leg, looked up, and shouted: ”Daddy! Daddy! I don’t want to leave you either!”

Gu Yan looked at the two little ones on his left and right, his head aching.

Hu Tao stood to the side, watching her Junior Martial Uncle being pestered by the two children and looking at a loss, and covered her mouth to stifle a laugh.

Gu Yan took a deep breath and immediately made a decision.

He waved his hand, swept up Hu Tao, Miaohua, and Wu Fa, and brought them back to the Heavenly Palace.

He settled the three of them in a palace next to the Hall of Longevity, named Lingchu Palace.

Although this palace was not as magnificent as the Hall of Longevity, it was quiet and elegant, filled with rich Spiritual Qi, with a garden in front and a spiritual spring behind—a good place for quiet Cultivation.

”You will stay here,” Gu Yan said, looking at the three of them. ”Cultivate in peace daily and do not make noise.”

”Lingchu Palace is not far from the Hall of Longevity; if there is an emergency, you may come to find me. If there is no emergency, do not disturb me.”

This was the best solution he could think of for now.

There was no helping it; in a sense, Miaohua could indeed be considered his child.

After all, she was manifested from the immortal lotus he had obtained through a trait.

The same went for the little bald boy, Wu Fa; having been manifested from the fruit of the Creation Spirit Tree that fell to the ground, calling him ”Daddy” wasn’t wrong.

It really wouldn’t be right to just dump both children on someone else to raise.

Hu Tao, however, curiously looked around Lingchu Palace.

It wasn’t her first time at the Heavenly Palace; after all, Qingyan Palace, where her Revered Master Lin Wei resided, was right next to the Hall of Longevity.

She could actually stay in Qingyan Palace to Cultivate with her Revered Master, but Hu Tao had a playful nature and felt that the Taiyi Dao Sect was more lively with many people, so she didn’t want to stay in this cold and desolate place in the sky.

Now that she had been brought here by her Junior Martial Uncle, if she wanted to go down to play in the future, it would take quite a lot of time to travel, and just thinking about it made her feel it was troublesome.

However, Gu Yan bringing Hu Tao here wasn’t really because he wanted her to take care of the two children.

Although Miaohua and Wu Fa looked small, they were not Mortal infants; they had their own intelligence and could take care of their own Cultivation, so they didn’t need anyone to look after them.

His real intention was to have Hu Tao also Cultivate in peace.

This girl was only at the Early Stage of Soul Transformation to this day.

If she didn’t work hard on her Cultivation and just thought about playing every day, how would that do?
