"boom!"
The moment the Green Wood Spirit Seed successfully condensed, Chen Beiwu's mind jolted, and a drop of water slid down before his eyes.
"Drip, drip!" The rain fell incessantly.
Chen Beiwu looked up and discovered that these water droplets were not ordinary water, but the essence secreted by the Tongtian Jianmu tree, carrying the Daoist rhyme of eternal greenness.
"The highest good is like water. Water benefits all things without striving, therefore it can nourish wood."
"Water flows constantly, yet it is the source of vital energy, encompassing all things. Wood can embody the virtues of water, therefore wood can also generate water."
When Chen Beiwu had this sudden realization, the world began to change.
The vast, boundless sea was no longer calm; instead, it roared with a force that shook all things.
As the sea level continued to rise, submerging everything, countless streams of water transformed into a herd of dragons, vying to occupy the towering Jianmu tree.
The world transforms into a water kingdom at this moment.
The next instant, the towering canopy began to collapse, the drooping branches dissolved into a bluish-gold sap that mixed into the ocean current, and the towering Jianmu tree also collapsed and merged into the boundless abyss.
In this state of mind, Chen Beiwu's spirit would sometimes transform into the Jianmu tree, which never flourishes or withers and exists eternally, and at other times into the vast and inclusive Hundred Rivers, which embrace the birth and death of all things.
"Splash!"
As Chen Beiwu heard the echo of the flowing water, a pure spiritual seed quietly appeared in his dantian.
"call."
Chen Beiwu exhaled a breath of stale air, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Isn't it said that Heavenly-grade cultivation techniques are extremely difficult to master?
How did he manage to master the basics so quickly after obtaining it, easily condensing the two most crucial spiritual seeds for cultivating the Myriad Laws Returning to Flow Jianmu Heavenly Book?
Could he be a peerless genius of enlightenment, one in ten thousand?
Extinguishing his fantasies, Chen Beiwu activated his divine sense, probing towards the [All Laws Return to Flow Jianmu Heavenly Book] radiating a dazzling light above his sea of consciousness.
"I guess I was overthinking it."
After reading the instructions, Chen Beiwu immediately understood.
The "All Laws Return to Flow" Jianmu Heavenly Book has a unique lineage; those with sufficient aptitude can immediately condense two spiritual seeds, Green Wood and Clear Water, upon comprehending the true meaning of the technique.
Conversely, those lacking aptitude will not be able to condense a spiritual seed even if they comprehend the true meaning of a cultivation technique for a month.
He has only just successfully passed the threshold of learning the Heavenly Book; it does not mean that he has exceptional comprehension.
Those who truly align with the "All Laws Return to the Flow" of the Jianmu Heavenly Book can even awaken a special Dao Body while condensing a spiritual seed.
"So this is what a true genius is like!"
Chen Beiwu shook his head, took out his spirit beast pouch, and summoned the golden egg.
"Gurgle." The golden egg flicked its tail, somewhat unaccustomed to the absence of water.
"Don't resist, hold your breath, it will be over soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Beiwu circulated his cultivation technique, forcing out the two spiritual seeds, Qingmu and Qinghong, and planted them on the golden egg's spiritual veins through the connection of the Shared Affinity Contract.
The golden egg has average spirituality, but its elemental affinity is extremely high.
With the help of the two spiritual seeds, Qingmu and Qinghong, it should have no problem cultivating the Heavenly Book.
"Gurgle?"
Feeling two things suddenly appear inside her body, the golden egg spat out a bubble, its eyes filled with confusion.
Immediately, under Chen Beiwu's divine guidance, it entered a state of cultivation where it forgot itself and the world, and instinctively operated the Myriad Laws Returning to the Flow Jianmu Heavenly Book according to the true meaning given by the spiritual seed.
Soon, an hour had passed.
Chen Beiwu finished his guidance, a look of exhaustion in his eyes.
Okay, he admits he overestimated the Golden Egg's intelligence.
Even though the two spiritual seeds, Qingmu and Qinghong, contained his understanding of the Heavenly Book, the Golden Egg still couldn't comprehend the true meaning of the cultivation technique. It could only instinctively circulate its energy, and it took an hour to refine a wisp of Hongmu magic power.
At this rate, it will take at least a month for the Golden Egg to convert all the demonic power within its body into Hongmu magic power, which is half a month longer than converting the Ten Thousand Beasts Technique magic power.
"It's okay if it's slow." Chen Beiwu glanced at the flustered Golden Egg.
The Heavenly Book is profound and obscure. Without his divine guidance, the Golden Egg has no idea how to cultivate and can only rely on its bloodline instincts to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
This is a common occurrence for most beasts practicing cultivation techniques in the early stages.
After all, cultivation techniques are practiced by human cultivators, and there are only a few beasts in the world that can be compatible with these techniques, so Chen Beiwu was not surprised.
Once the golden egg masters the Heavenly Book and transforms all the demonic power within its body into Hongmu magic power, it can complete the Tongcan metamorphosis.
At that time, the speed at which the Golden Egg cultivates the Myriad Laws Return to the Flow Jianmu Heavenly Book will not only increase dramatically, but even its innate spells will have the opportunity to undergo a transformation under the blessing of the Heavenly Grade Cultivation Technique, forming a Beast Seal containing the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
With the help of the Beast Seal, Chen Beiwu can use the innate spells of the same beast for his own purposes. With a thought, he can easily release the two second-tier supreme spiritual techniques, Na Hai and Liu Jin Lin, which greatly increases his combat power.
After opening the spirit beast pouch and retrieving the golden egg, Chen Beiwu opened the Ten Directions Gate and returned to his cave in Biyuan Market.
To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, he did not travel to the Southern Wilderness, but instead focused on comprehending the Heavenly Book in his home cultivation room.
Now that he has mastered the basics of the Heavenly Book, Chen Beiwu wants to quickly replenish the two missing spiritual seeds, so he naturally needs to go to a place rich in spiritual energy to cultivate.
……
The following morning, at the Biyuan Ward.
Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, ending a day and a night of cultivation.
It seems that two tigers cannot share one mountain. The green wood and clear spirit seed that he reconstituted with the true meaning of his cultivation technique actually automatically transformed into the power of the Myriad Beasts Technique.
At this rate of cultivation, Chen Beiwu will only need ten days to convert all the myriad beast mana in his dantian into incomparably pure Hongmu mana.
"A Heavenly-grade cultivation technique is indeed extraordinary." Chen Beiwu thought to himself as he looked at the Hongmu magic power surging in his palm.
Unlike the balanced and moderately powerful Ten Thousand Beasts Technique, the Myriad Laws Return to Flow Jianmu Heavenly Book is more suitable for cultivators with both water and wood spiritual roots, allowing for faster cultivation.
If he used to cultivate the Myriad Beasts Technique for a day, he could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and circulate it for 360 cycles, eventually refining a portion of the Myriad Beasts Magic Power.
So now, if he cultivates the Heavenly Book for a day, and also breathes in and circulates the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for 360 cycles, he can obtain three portions of Hongmu's magical power.
It should be noted that the purity and power of Hongmu's magic far surpasses that of the magic of the myriad beasts.
The difference between these two rounds is not simply three times, but a full seven to eight times.
Besides, what Chen Beiwu valued most was that the Hongmu magic possessed two major characteristics: life extension and breath restoration.
As the name suggests, the life-extending properties of Hongmu magic can greatly increase Chen Beiwu's lifespan, far exceeding that of others in the same realm.
The lifespan of an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator is between 150 and 200 years, while the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is between 300 and 500 years.
However, Qi Refining cultivators who cultivate the Myriad Laws Return to Flow Jianmu Heavenly Book can have a lifespan limit of 250 years, only fifty years less than Foundation Establishment cultivators.
As for the tracing nature of Hongmu's magic power, it can greatly increase Chen Beiwu's magic power recovery speed.
When using magical artifacts or activating spells, a portion of one's magical power is naturally restored.
