Chapter 68 Planting Spiritual Roots on Mount Buzhou
Ye Qing touched the gourd vine and said, "The innate spiritual root itself can bear fruit continuously, like the peach tree and the ginseng fruit tree."
The same applies to the innate gourd vine; however, the first seven gourds possess the laws of heaven and earth.
Why not cultivate a gourd field right here atop Mount Buzhou?
Nuwa nodded; she had no objection.
Zhunti and Jieyin clasped their hands together in agreement, as did Donghuang Taiyi and the others.
Donghuang Taiyi frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist, you haven't said how to distribute these gourds yet."
Whether or not you plant a gourd field is actually not very meaningful, because the most important gourds are these seven in front of you.
Even if new gourds grow in the future, they will never reach the level of innate spiritual treasures.
"Whoever breaks through to Quasi-Saint level first will receive a gourd, how about it?"
Ye Qing smiled slightly, a statement that surprised everyone present.
Many people hiding in the shadows showed expressions of excitement.
Among them are several Great Golden Immortals, who dare not even dream of becoming saints, but can still try their luck at becoming quasi-saints.
Once you become a Quasi-Saint, obtaining another gourd will allow you to advance another step beyond the Quasi-Saint level.
Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi revealed a confident smile.
"Breaking through to Quasi-Saint level is just a matter of time, so I agree."
Di Jun also smiled and said, "I agree, but I suggest that we work together to seal off the top of Buzhou Mountain to prevent anyone from disturbing you, fellow Daoist. What do you think? From now on, you can cultivate here in peace."
Nuwa frowned upon hearing this.
Ye Qing has helped her so much, yet now she's going to imprison Ye Qing on the top of Buzhou Mountain.
She was about to refuse when Ye Qing nodded and said, "I have no objection. Anyway, I don't want to run away. You can seal this place off, and I don't need to worry about anyone disturbing me."
Jieyin clasped his hands together and said, "In that case, fellow Daoist, you will have to work hard. The spiritual energy on the top of Buzhou Mountain is so abundant. I am willing to plant the golden lotus seeds here. In the future, if someone is destined, they may also obtain a golden lotus."
The bald man's words drew everyone's attention; was he really that kind?
Ye Qing could roughly guess Jieyin's thoughts; the West was a barren land.
Planting the lotus seeds here will make harvesting easier later.
As for why the West is a barren land, it is actually related to the Black Lotus that destroys the world.
Before the first great calamity, the Black Lotus of Annihilation appeared in the world, along with the Demon Ancestor Rahu.
As the manager of this world, and as someone destined to attain the Dao in the future, Hongjun naturally had to stop the other party from carrying out the act of destroying the world.
The essence of the Black Lotus of Annihilation is actually a form of creation: destroying the existing world and creating a new world in the process of destruction.
Only a new world can withstand the destruction of the Black Lotus of Annihilation.
The conflict between the Demon Ancestor and the Dao Ancestor ultimately destroyed the spiritual veins of the Western world.
Therefore, from then on, the West became a land of poverty.
The only place unaffected by the Black Lotus of Annihilation was the area protected by the Golden Lotus of Merit.
Because of the protection of the Golden Lotus of Merit, Jieyin and Zhunti are essentially gathered together with the fortune of the entire West.
In order to give back to the West, the two are now wholeheartedly trying to nourish Western treasures with Eastern spiritual energy.
This behavior didn't bother Ye Qing much. Whether it was the East or the West, it was a world created by Pangu, and it was all related to him.
If you have the seeds of the golden lotus, you will have the opportunity to come into contact with the guide, and then you can find a way to exchange the merit golden lotus back with the Bodhi seeds.
It is estimated that it will take until he is guided to sainthood.
Just then, a blood-red cloud descended from the horizon, and an old man with white hair, dressed in a blood-red robe, landed on the ground.
His aura was also released outwards, allowing everyone to sense that he was also a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Ancestor Styx is one of the top fighters among the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace.
Even if it's a guide, one will still be somewhat wary of the other party.
The appearance of the Styx Ancestor also drew everyone's attention to him.
Feeling the imposing aura of several Great Luo Golden Immortals around him, the Styx Ancestor felt somewhat intimidated.
But he still tried to remain calm and said, "There are blue lotuses and golden lotuses here, and I can also plant the seeds of red lotuses."
If anyone has the chance in the future, they are welcome to come and pick them.
The Styx Ancestor's idea was very simple: it was just a lotus seed. Even if a patch of red lotuses were grown, who could control the power of karmic fire except himself?
Moreover, his appearance was also a statement; he had only broken through to the Quasi-Saint level, and he still had a chance to seize a gourd.
The Styx Ancestor's cultivation and strength were recognized by everyone, and no one had any objections.
Further away, Zhen Yuanzi, who also possessed the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, was somewhat conflicted.
There's no way around it; ginseng fruit trees can't be planted here, and I can't very well plant them myself.
Hongyun, standing beside Zhen Yuanzi, simply smiled and said, "Many cultivators only know how to use the resources of heaven and earth to strengthen themselves. Their unrestrained harvesting has destroyed many spiritual roots."
With Fellow Daoist Qinglian present, perhaps even more spiritual roots will be born in the primordial world in the future.
Hongyun's words were also heard by the others.
This made everyone's expressions towards Ye Qing even more complicated. It's true that everyone in the world only knows how to take.
If Nuwa hadn't brought the innate gourd vine to find Ye Qing, then all the gourds would definitely have been picked.
After the seven gourds leave, the innate gourd vine will also be severely damaged and lose its spirituality.
Let it recover slowly now, picking them one by one, giving the naturally formed gourd vine a chance to heal.
Just then, a wisp of pure air descended from afar.
One Qi transforms into Three Pure Ones, and the Three Pure Ones emerge from the pure Qi.
Looking at the scene before them, the three of them only needed to make a rough deduction to understand the cause and effect.
Then, with smiles on their faces, they handed over a seashell.
Taiqing Daode stroked his beard and laughed, "The Three Lights Divine Water has been brought. Fellow Daoist Nuwa, you may begin creation."
Ye Qing was somewhat surprised. The speed of the Three Pure Ones was simply too outrageous. They obtained the Three Lights Divine Water from the East Sea so quickly.
It should be noted that the primordial world is vast and boundless, and Ye Qing's current true form is still flying beneath Mount Buzhou.
These three Pure Ones reached the East Sea at a speed that Ye Qing could not comprehend, and even returned shortly afterward.
In Ye Qing's understanding, only a saint could reach such a speed.
After thinking for a moment, and considering the concept of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones," Ye Qing roughly guessed what was going on.
These three should have a way to combine into one and unleash their power at the level of a quasi-saint, which would probably be comparable to the strength of a saint.
Even with the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, it possesses power comparable to a Quasi-Saint.
After all, in the primordial world, the Great Array of Heavenly Gods and Demons constructed by the Twelve Ancestral Witches could fight against saints.
The Golden Crow also possesses the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, capable of fighting sages. There's no reason why the Three Pure Ones, formed from pure energy, wouldn't have this ability.
In a way, I could say that I brought the human race to life ahead of schedule.
According to the original timeline, the human race should have appeared only after the creation of the demon race's Heavenly Court.
