Chapter 163

When a section of the spiritual leyline appeared in the Primordial Essence World, it signaled that he was half way to success.

Chen Jingzhai levitated in place and started flying along the spiritual leyline.

Like a greedy snake, he was swallowing the entire spiritual leyline into the Primordial Essence World, bit by bit.

His divine mind form appeared in the heaven of the Primordial Essence World.

Under the control of the divine mind form, the devouring power inside the Primordial Essence World had multiplied.

At the same time, one end of the spiritual leyline landed under the innate money tree, which was in front of the jade statue.

The innate money tree displayed a look of joy, and immediately, more than thirty roots appeared.

They wrapped around one end of the spiritual leyline, pulling it into the restriction.

Under the dual guidance of the Primordial Essence World and the innate money tree, the spiritual leyline’s outcome had been determined without any doubts.

Within the hour, the spiritual leyline had been completely taken in.

It was suppressed by the roots of the innate money tree, hidden within the restriction.

The innate money tree, which had grown to be tall and mighty, now blew up to a height of 120 feet.

Layer over layer of branches continued to rise upward, and a large number of pure coins appeared.

More importantly, this spiritual leyline belonged completely to the world of the Grotto-heavens.

This allowed the Primordial Essence World to expand again, just as the land and the sea had undergone changes again also.

The sky was higher, the earth was thicker, and even the ocean was deeper. The mountain ranges had increased as well.

Just the area of the landmass alone had surpassed that of the Pulao Kingdom.

With the help of the power from the Grotto-heavens, Chen Jingzhai was able to cut off two-thirds of the Grade 4 spiritual leyline.

The two-thirds of the spiritual leyline fell into the 12 Zodiacs Formation.

It was buried next to the Seven Star Moon Pool.

Now, the spiritual leylines of the zodiacs grew rapidly, and transformed into Grade 2 spiritual leylines in succession.

It was certain that once the 12 Zodiacs Formation had fully absorbed the power from the spiritual leyline, it would continue to morph.

But Chen Jingzhai was not ready to sacrifice the two-thirds of this spiritual leyline so easily.

He imprisoned the spiritual leyline on the Seven Star Moon Pool, and was going to derive another spiritual leyline using the end section of the Seven Star Moon Pool.

This spiritual leyline was located precisely at the place of the five elements that had already been planned earlier.

It was unlikely for Chen Jingzhai to destroy the land of the Five Elements with innate attributes. However, he had to manage it carefully.

As for the remaining one-third of the spiritual leyline, it was left in the roots of the innate money tree.

It was entangled tightly by the roots and became the source of sustenance for the innate money tree.

At this time, the innate money tree had generated over a million pure coins alone.

It was also growing frantically at the rate of one coin every half an hour.

Chen Jingzhai asked the spirit servants from the bank to come over and pick them all, maintaining around a million coins at all times.

Once there were more than a million coins, the pure coins had to be picked from the bottom up.

After everything was properly situated, Chen Jingzhai returned to his physical form.

At this time, where the spiritual leyline was once located, a massive empty passageway was left in its wake.

On the mountain wall of the passage, not a single spiritual stone was left. All of them had been harvested by the Grotto-heavens divine light.

Chen Jingzhai surveyed everything with his divine mind.

All of his acupoints were wide open, and his entire body was made of celestial bones. His foundation was now fully completed.

The area that his divine mind was able to scan was wider and farther, and found nothing of value.

Therefore, he left through the original passage from which he came.

With the water escape technique, he reappeared in the deep ocean.

At this time, the giant octopus monster, which was disturbed by the quaking of the canyon, also stopped its tantrum.

It looked at Chen Jingzhai and had a particularly tender feeling towards him. It couldn’t help but stretch out its tentacles.

Chen Jingzhai dodged its tentacles quickly and jumped onto its sturdy head.

His divine mind penetrated into the head of the giant octopus monster, and it moved around obediently according to Chen Jingzhai’s commands.

While it moved around in the deep ocean, it was also using its tentacles to grab the materials that Chen Jingzhai needed.

Whether it was the rocks from the deep ocean or other skeletal remains, all of them were collected by Chen Jingzhai.

If spirit plants were found, Chen Jingzhai would take them personally, or collect them with the Grotto-heavens divine light.

In a deep ocean canyon that was over 150 miles in depth, there was bound to be much good stuff to be collected, such as the hidden schools of cold spirit swordfishes, glacial black copper, ice soul stones, blue spirit crystals, and so on.

Chen Jingzhai took the giant octopus monster and used the Grotto-heavens divine light to sweep the area continuously.

When he got to the end of the deep ocean canyon, he encountered a Tail Light Megalodon that was of the superior Grade 4.

It was also a giant species of the deep ocean variety, with red fluorescent light on the lower end of its tail.

With its fluorescent tail, it was able to attract prey and was a natural predator.

But sadly, it encountered the giant octopus monster.

In front of the giant octopus monster, the Tail Light Megalodon looked ferocious, but its size was not merely enough.

When the two tentacles of the giant octopus monster closed together, it exceeded the size of the Tail Light Megalodon.

Under the command of Chen Jingzhai, the giant octopus monster also learned how to battle.

Its tentacles were used as whips, but also as spears that could be thrown or stabbed. This kind of fancy moves beat the Tail Light Megalodon seneseless until it could not find its bearing.

Finally, the Tail Light Megalodon was knocked out, allowing Chen Jingzhai to take it inside the Primordial Essence World.

Then, it was pierced by the greedy innate money tree and produced more than a dozen blood-colored coins.

Item name: Blood coin

Compatibility: Born from the innate money tree by absorbing flesh and blood.

Efficacy: Enhance the blood and the Qi, refining blood and meridians, natural elixirs, and materials for spell.

Vulnerability: High-quality flesh and blood

Chen Jingzhai picked off a blood coin. After swallowing it directly, he discovered that its effect was pretty good.

Although it was of no use to himself, cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Plane could use them to enhance their Qi and blood.

If it was used by cultivators in the Meditation Plane, it could strengthen their physical body, and even transform it from the inside out. The premise was that the cultivators of the Meditation Plane had to be able to withstand it first.

The blood coin was like a red hot iron ring that had just come out of the oven, and it needed to be swallowed whole.

The taste of it was not exactly good. To cultivators in the Meditation Plane, it was extremely challenging.

But as long as one could tolerate it, there would be great benefits to be reaped.

And it was better than elixirs, without the pill toxin. It was a very pure source of sustenance.

After dealing with the Tail Light Megalodon, Chen Jingzhai drove the giant octopus monster to the surface.

When the temperature of the ocean raised, Chen Jingzhai drove the giant octopus monster into the Primordial Essence World.

The existence of the primordial essence curse made the giant octopus monster very fond of the ocean water that was in the Primordial Essence World.

More importantly, there was Innate Qi in the ocean, which made it feel very much at home.

Chen Jingzhai used the water escape technique to return to the surface of the ocean.

The tower ship was released, and along with it, Jiang Lin who was inside the Great Heaven Mirror.

Jiang Lin, who was in a state of cultivation, was awakened as soon as he was let out.

Only after he saw Chen Jingzhai, did he breathed a sigh of relief and bow to him, “Little Master-Uncle.”

“It was hard for you,” Chen Jingzhai commented with some emotion. “I was going to try to find the Blue Glass Whale, but I ended up sinking deep into the bottom of the ocean. I didn’t find Chu Jinsong, and I almost couldn’t get back here.”

“As long as you are fine,” Jiang Lin said with a smile. “This time, I was blessed by fortune; my cultivation has been upgraded to the great completion of Foundation Plane. I didn’t know where you went, but you have plenty of essence power.”

“Oh?” Chen Jingzhai showed off his acting skills and took out the Great Heaven Mirror. “Ah, so it turned out that it was to the credit of the Great Heaven Mirror. I made a breakthrough of my cultivation in the deep ocean, and it replicated the formation to absorb the essence power of the outside world.”

“It’s really a great treasure… Wait, Master-Uncle is in the Advanced Foundation Plane?” Jiang Lin was shocked.

“What? Only you can break through, but no one else is allowed to?” Chen Jingzhai said, finding it somewhat amusing.

“That’s not what I meant. But Master-Uncle’s elevation in cultivation is really fast,” Jiang Lin said with a wry smile. “After getting off the mountain, it only took three years for you to go from the Beginning Foundation Plane to the Advanced Foundation Plane. If this news were to get back to the clan, I’m afraid all the disciples will feel defeated!”

“I followed the Path of Technique Creation and created a foundation establishment method that suited me. Naturally, my advancement was by leaps and bounds,” Chen Jingzhai said with a smile, “Besides, everyone should be more envious of you.”

“Not bad!” Jiang Lin smiled. He did not expect that Chen Jingzhai would be able to break through.

When he thought of the sudden expansion of the space inside the Great Heaven Mirror, as well as that continual emergence of pure essence power. Jiang Lin secretly collected himself and decided to never reveal any of this to anyone.

No matter what kind of opportunities the Little Master-Uncle had come across, it was his good fortune to get in on some of it, so he should not make things more difficult for the Little Master-Uncle. Besides, this time, not only did he have a breakthrough in his cultivation, but the important thing was that he was able to rebuild his foundation.

The future was looking really bright!

With mutual understanding, the two did not mention anything that happened under the deep ocean.

Next, they briefly discussed and started to return home.

According to Chen Jingzhai’s calculations and comparison with the charts, they were now in the area on the edge of the Tempest Ocean.

They were not far from the Tempest Ocean and had seriously deviated from the north.

More precisely, they were heavily leaning towards the east.

And in the east was the Tempest Ocean, which Nascent Zhenjuns to True Venerable Spirits had all found troublesome.

The Tempest Ocean was full of storms and rain all year round. The weather was harsh, and the essence power was very weak there.

Normally speaking, only desperate and vicious rogue cultivators, or cultivators who were on the run, would risk entering the Tempest Ocean. This massive Tempest Ocean was clearly a taboo for the cultivators in the Eastern Ocean.

At the same time, it was also the border region of the Eastern Ocean.

Previously, one of the two roads that the Mo Bei Headmaster had pointed out to Chen Jingzhai was the ocean route.

And the ocean route road meant that they had to pass through the Tempest Ocean.

According to legend, there was a new territory on the other side of Tempest Ocean, which was said to be more prosperous than Pulao Kingdom.
