One stem, two buds, and three tendrils.
This perfectly embodies the principle that the Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, and two gives birth to three.
This state lasted for three breaths before changing again. The osmanthus branches sprouted a large number of roots, the stems grew taller, and the tender buds turned into green leaves.
Soon, the withered branch turned into a seedling, and then grew into a small tree, swaying in the soft, hazy sunlight.
Although it appears frail, one can vaguely sense its immense, towering power.
The branches, which had seemed lifeless, suddenly came to life, sprouting countless tendrils from their roots, like enormous, coiling dragons, extending downwards along the entire landmass.
It also continued to spread outwards, seemingly trying to extend its tentacles to the very edge of this boundless continent.
The tree trunk grew thick and large, reaching into the sky and supporting a green cloud, like a giant pillar supporting the heavens.
The leaves on the branches, which were originally drooping, became lush and vibrant after taking root in the tree. Each leaf was as tempting as a piece of jade.
The sapling's roots were firmly embedded in the void, as if drawing nourishment from the endless void. Its leaves were oval-shaped with patterns like talismans, each leaf having a unique pattern, resembling celestial inscriptions.
The branches twisted like a real dragon, extending out tiny twigs and sprouting leaves.
Each leaf is covered with intricate patterns, forming grand arrays that emit azure light. At the same time, Daoist sounds flow and converge into chapters of the Heavenly Dao.
Then, golden flowers appeared one after another, falling from the sky, displaying all sorts of wonders, as if they were the great Dao of Heaven, all sorts of rules.
Looking at the osmanthus tree rooted deep in the earth, Xiao Ning quickly learned its detailed information.
The osmanthus tree in the Hongmeng Space is a chaotic spiritual root. It only bears fruit once every epoch, and only nine fruits each time. One osmanthus fruit can directly enable a mortal to advance to the realm of an immortal golden immortal.
If it only has the effect of advancing to the Golden Immortal realm, it cannot be considered a treasure of the Chaos Spiritual Root.
One pill from the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir of his own Taiqing Saint avatar could instantly elevate him to the Immortal Golden Immortal realm.
But the frustrating thing is, can just anyone take the Nine-Turn Golden Pill?
The medicine is too potent to be digested?
"Bang!"
Vanished into thin air!
Moreover, this kind of immortal golden immortal only has the shell of an immortal golden immortal, but does not have the realm of a golden immortal. It cannot transcend and can only be considered a pseudo-immortal. Furthermore, its foundation is completely severed, and it will not make any further progress.
Therefore, Xiao Ning never even considered consuming that damn Nine-Turn Golden Pill; he didn't want to destroy his own foundation.
The osmanthus fruit produced by this chaotic spiritual root can also advance to the level of an immortal golden immortal. Moreover, its spiritual power is gentle, so even if a mortal eats it, he will not explode and die. He can slowly digest its spiritual power.
And most importantly, it won't sever the foundation, so you can continue to cultivate and advance further in the future.
This is definitely the biggest cheat code in the cultivation world, okay?
While you are still struggling in the realm below the immortal level, someone else eats a single fruit and ascends directly to the Immortal Golden Immortal realm. Isn't that terrifying?
That was the original plant. The branch that Xiao Ning obtained had naturally fallen in grade and had become a high-grade innate spiritual root.
It bears fruit every 129,600 years, with only 36 fruits produced each time, comparable to the peaches of immortality and ginseng fruits in the primordial world.
Each top-grade Osmanthus Fruit can grant a mortal 1,800 years of life simply by smelling it, and by eating it, one can instantly become a flawless immortal and enjoy a lifetime of longevity.
Its leaves and flowers each have their own unique uses.
The existence of this innate spiritual root is enough to support the steady development of the small world.
"Fellow Daoist, you have shown me great kindness!"
Coming to his senses, Xiao Ning was very excited.
Hongmeng shook his head, then pointed again, and immediately boundless Hongmeng spiritual energy surged into the small world with his movement.
"Boom!"
The Primordial Spiritual Energy is the primordial chaos energy that has been filtered, losing all its violent nature and becoming extremely gentle and easily absorbed.
The moment it entered the small world, it immediately caused earth-shattering changes, like a desert encountering a downpour, or like a sponge absorbing water.
The boundless primordial spiritual energy was rapidly absorbed by the small world, as if the world were being created, and its internal area expanded and grew rapidly.
15,000 li... 20,000 li... 50,000 li... 100,000 li... 200,000 li... 500,000 li... 1,000,000 li... 5,000,000 li...
One light-year... ten light-years... one hundred light-years... one thousand light-years... ten thousand light-years... one hundred thousand light-years... one hundred million light-years...
The transformation from a small world to a small thousand worlds, and then to a medium thousand worlds, is completed in a single instant.
The world has changed dramatically, evolving from a flat, earthly planet into a real universe with countless celestial bodies floating in it, some as large as light-years and others as small as the Earth.
In another dimension directly above these celestial bodies, there is a supercontinent with a diameter of 100,000 light-years, floating in the very center of the dimension, with a super sun hanging above it, the energy of which cannot be expressed in numbers.
On this supercontinent, there are primeval forests composed of trees hundreds of thousands of feet tall.
In the very center of the forest stands a colossal tree, hundreds of millions of feet tall, radiating boundless power; it is none other than the superior-grade innate spiritual root, the Osmanthus Tree.
Moreover, the crystal walls of the entire universe have become stronger and more solid, so that even ordinary immortal golden immortals cannot break them even slightly when they are suspended outside.
As the ruler of this world, Xiao Ning quickly grasped all the information about it, making him omniscient and omnipotent!
"Fellow Daoist, you have shown me great kindness!"
His expression turned solemn, and he bowed deeply!
