Chapter 424: Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit! Cultivation

Chapter 424: Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit! Cultivation

"To aid my soul's transformation?" Li Yuan's heart trembled as he once again examined the dark green fruit with his divine sense.

The more he observed with his divine sense, the more extraordinary it seemed, as if it contained the profound mysteries of a certain grand law of the Dao, similar to many soul treasures he had encountered before, but with a much stronger aura.

Buzz! Li Yuan's divine sense stirred, attempting to penetrate and explore the interior of the fruit.

In that instant—

"Boom!"

A terrifying surge of power beyond Li Yuan's imagination instantly struck his divine sense, causing the probing strand of divine sense to be annihilated.

Rumble!

The invisible surge directly passed through the storage treasure and struck Li Yuan's mental world.

"Huff!" Li Yuan's face paled slightly. Even with his formidable soul will, he felt his mental world trembling.

It took several seconds for Li Yuan to recover.

"Such a powerful aura, as if facing the origin of heaven and earth directly," Li Yuan was awe-struck.

He had seen many treasures, including true divine artifacts and some fifth or even sixth-tier treasures.

But the dark green fruit before him surpassed all the treasures he had encountered before.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind, and he looked at Jiang Yuan True God, unable to hold back his words, "Senior Brother, is this an origin treasure?"

"Your insight is indeed remarkable. Most Void Deities probably wouldn't be able to recognize it," Jiang Yuan True God smiled, "You're right. This is a water origin treasure, most beneficial for nurturing the soul."

A true origin treasure? Li Yuan was amazed.

Li Yuan had once obtained an origin treasure, the 'Celestial Wind Spirit' gifted to him by Master Chu Bing in the Ming Xu Star Realm (Chapter 322).

This treasure had transformed Li Yuan's talent in the Wind Law to a higher level, laying the foundation for his rapid progress in the Wind Law.

However, after much communication with Liu Bing and Gu Yu, Li Yuan learned that the Celestial Wind Spirit was considered less valuable among origin treasures, yet it was still a treasure coveted by countless True Gods.

If a mid-tier Void God puppet required a substantial price for an ordinary True God to purchase, then many origin treasures would drive True Gods mad.

"Senior Brother, what's the name of this treasure?" Li Yuan asked curiously.

"Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit," Jiang Yuan True God smiled, "I obtained it yesterday by trading with the City Lord of Perception Star City yesterday at a certain cost."

Li Yuan held his breath. The current City Lord of Perception Star City was undoubtedly a Heaven Deity.

"Li Yuan!"

"It's the legendary Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit, a treasure that even the direct disciples of many Heaven Deities may not have the privilege to use," Gu Yu's voice echoed in Li Yuan's mind, filled with astonishment, "Among origin treasures, this one is absolutely of higher value. It's at least ten times more valuable than the Celestial Wind Spirit you obtained before."

"This is the treatment reserved for a Heaven Deity's favorite disciple."

"With this Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit, your chances of awakening the Nine-Star Meridian at the Flying Heaven Rank will greatly increase," Gu Yu's voice was filled with excitement.

Li Yuan was even more surprised.

Once, Gu Yu had mentioned that in the Divine Realm, many geniuses from major powers were given origin treasures from the beginning of their Essence Warrior cultivation to try and awaken the Eight-Star Meridian (Chapter 337).

He never imagined that he would have such an opportunity.

When Li Yuan was an Essence Warrior, he faced nine deaths and one life as he struggled to reach the Demi-God level soul... The main reason was the lack of resources. Neither Gu Yu nor the Seven Star Civilization could provide the top-tier treasures needed to cultivate him.

If they had an origin treasure back then, there would have been no struggle.

Resources were too crucial on the path of cultivation.

"Senior Brother, are you really giving me this Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit? It's too precious," Li Yuan couldn't help but say.

Although Jiang Yuan True God was formidable, he was still just a True God.

"It seems you know about it. Rest assured, its value in the Divine Realm may be extremely high, but there's a living Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit tree in Perception Star City that continuously bears fruit," Jiang Yuan True God explained.

Li Yuan sighed inwardly. Even with a continuous supply, how could its value be low?

"Actually,"

"With your talent, if you join Star City and pledge allegiance to a Heaven Deity, you could also obtain this fruit," Jiang Yuan True God said, "But I don't recommend you pledging allegiance to another Heaven Deity."

Li Yuan was taken aback.

"In this world, there's no such thing as unconditional love," Jiang Yuan True God said, "Strong individuals seek longevity and yearn for immortality."

"Unless they're nearing the end of their lifespan, they wouldn't have such a strong desire for procreation, passing on their teachings, and even if they do, they're often strict with their children."

Li Yuan couldn't help but nod.

Ordinary people desire procreation because their lifespan is limited, and they want to pass on their genes and bloodline. But super-powerful individuals can achieve longevity, so their desire in this aspect is diminished."

"Taking a master, in a sense, is similar to having a child. There's a cause and effect relationship."

"A master will also have expectations," Jiang Yuan True God said, "You don't understand now, but when you ignite your divine flame, you will. Too much cause and effect can be a burden."

"Like our master, An Chi Celestial God, who has passed away. With his death, his path is extinguished."

"If you were to pledge allegiance to a living Heaven Deity in this realm, it will be troublesome."

"Jiang Yuan, a True Deity, smiled and said, "As for your connection with the Nine Sounds True God, most of the cause and effect lies with me. I'll help you bear the consequences."

Li Yuan contemplated his journey, recalling the various teachers he had encountered and the opportunities he had gained, all of which came with expectations and debts to be repaid in the future.

"Cause and effect are inevitable," Jiang Yuan continued. "Similarly, your entry into Perception Star City and your display of talent will be considered normal. I will communicate with the Heaven Deities, explaining that you are my junior, and I will bear the cause and effect of these actions."

"This way, the impact on you will be minimized," Jiang Yuan smiled. "As for our connection, it will be resolved once you fulfill your previous promise."

Li Yuan felt a surge of gratitude. Although Jiang Yuan was helping him with expectations, he had genuinely considered all aspects for Li Yuan's benefit.

"Thank you, Senior Brother," Li Yuan said sincerely.

Jiang Yuan laughed. "First, your identity will be beneficial to me in the future. Second, your talent is exceptionally high, with almost no weaknesses. This is crucial, as your Star Vein talent and Law talent will allow you to progress quickly, but it is the strength of your Soul Will that will determine how far you can go."

Li Yuan listened attentively. Soul Will was indeed vital on the path of cultivation.

Jiang Yuan observed Li Yuan, remembering how he had asked for help to rescue Princess Jiang Xuan from the Abyss Demon Blood Cavern, leaving a positive impression.

Based on this single act, Jiang Yuan had initially judged that treating Li Yuan with sincerity would not result in betrayal. After all, even with the constraints of the Law Oath, it was not infallible.

Li Yuan's inherent nature was also crucial.

"Entering Perception Star City without becoming a disciple of a Heaven Deity means you won't receive additional gifts, but you will still have access to many conventional treasures and cultivation methods," Jiang Yuan said. "These are things you'll have to strive for on your own."

"Yes," Li Yuan nodded.

Jiang Yuan had already made sufficient preparations for Li Yuan, and it would be unreasonable to expect more.

"Although you've awakened the Eight-Star Meridian, don't rush to break through to the Demi-God level," Jiang Yuan advised. "The effectiveness of the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit is limited. The weaker you are, the better it will absorb... If you become a Demi-God, the nurturing effect on your soul will be greatly diminished."

Li Yuan nodded in agreement. It was like renovating a small house versus a grand palace; naturally, the former was easier.

Li Yuan also inferred that Jiang Yuan seemed to believe he had only awakened the Eight-Star Meridian after reaching the Flying Heaven Rank.

Li Yuan didn't elaborate further.

Revealing that he had a second-tier Eight-Star Meridian would be too shocking... and it would complicate many explanations.

For example, if I had a second-tier Eight-Star Meridian and came from the Chaos God Court, I should have received more attention, and treasures like the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit should have been readily available."

"Strive to transform into the Void Deity Rank before awakening more Life Stars," Jiang Yuan continued. "This will greatly increase your chances of awakening the Nine-Star Meridian when you reach the Demi-God level."

"Mhm," Li Yuan nodded.

"The Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit is extremely difficult to refine. Therefore, Perception Star City has developed a specialized absorption method. With your strength, it will take at least three years, or even five or six years, to perfectly absorb it," Jiang Yuan explained. "You're still young, so there's no need to rush."

...

Carrying the treasures given by Jiang Yuan, Li Yuan returned to the Divine Flame Palace.'

He entered the meditation room and activated the Source Energy Array, ensuring complete privacy.

"I never expected this," Li Yuan muttered to himself. "I thought meeting the Nine Sounds True God and obtaining a treasure worth thousands of Divine Crystals would be a great achievement, but the gains are far beyond that."

Whether it was the Mind Illusion Six Realms, the mid-tier Demigod puppet, or the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit, each was invaluable.

"Your cheap Senior Brother truly treats you well," a white-robed figure appeared beside Li Yuan. "Even many Heaven Deities treat their disciples no better than this."

"This also shows his strength."

"No wonder he dared to claim that he could break through to the Heaven Deity level in the future," Gu You said. "I suspect he is an incredibly powerful existence, almost on par with a Heaven Deity."

"On par with a Heaven Deity?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

The higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it was to defeat opponents of a higher rank.

In the Divine Realm, True Deities with strength comparable to Heaven Deities were far rarer than actual Heaven Deities.

"To become a Heaven Deity, one must fully comprehend a Great Dao and condense a Divine Incarnation from it," Gu You explained. "But some powerful True Deities comprehend multiple Great Daos or reach profound understandings of Laws, like the Space Law. By combining various Great Daos, their techniques become as profound as Heaven Deities, and sometimes even surpass them."

"In this way, even if their foundation is weaker, these extraordinary True Deities can rival Heaven Deities in strength."

Li Yuan nodded in agreement. Just like himself, his spear technique had reached the Demigod level, but he couldn't become a Demigod without reaching the foundation of a basic Law.

"I hope I can use the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit to complete my soul transformation," Li Yuan said.

"This is mainly because your physical body is too weak. The body is the foundation of the soul."

"Gu You shook her head. "Look at Jiang Shan, he's not inferior to Fang Hai either. They're both Half-Gods, and their bodies are far more powerful than yours... but their souls still struggle to reach the Demigod Rank."

"You're only at the Flying Heaven Rank, so it's even more challenging for you."

"However, your will is strong, and now you have a Primordial Treasure." Gu You's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "With the Nine-Star Meridian, there's a glimmer of hope."

Li Yuan couldn't help but nod.

If it weren't so difficult, the Nine-Star Meridian wouldn't be a legend even in the Divine Realm.

"Sister," Li Yuan suddenly asked curiously, "The ultimate treasure left by Master... can its value surpass that of the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit?"

"You little rascal."

Gu You shook her head. "Rest assured, the treasure left by Father is beyond your imagination. Even the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit pales in comparison... Once you become a Divine Being and receive Father's entire legacy, you'll naturally understand." (Chapter 253)



Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat; he had merely asked casually.

After all, Gu Ju's Divine Being strength seemed inferior to that of Jiang Yuan's True God and Master Chu Bing.

But from Gu You's words, it seemed that Gu Ju's Divine Being had indeed left behind an extremely astonishing treasure.

"You should cultivate first. I won't disturb you anymore." Gu You said, and her ethereal shadow dissipated.

In the room, only Li Yuan remained.

"First, refine the Primordial Treasure." Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the Jade Platform, and his mind quickly calmed.

Hoo~

In front of him appeared the green 'Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit', its aura restrained.

But Li Yuan knew that once activated, it would unleash terrifying power.

"Refine."

Li Yuan's mind moved, and the refinement technique taught by Jiang Yuan's True God appeared in his mind, mysterious and profound.

This technique was created by a Celestial Deity in the history of Perception Star City, based on the characteristics of the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit.

It was like taming a wild horse; using brute force alone was nearly impossible, but with some tricks and techniques, one could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Treasures had their own consciousness, and without absolute strength, one would need corresponding methods to tame them.

"Chi~"

"Chi chi~" Li Yuan's mind moved, and his Source Power and Divine Sense combined, manipulating the intricacies of space. Thousands of Source Power threads emerged, following the unique patterns on the surface of the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit, and began to penetrate the fruit's interior.

This time, the backlash Li Yuan encountered was indeed much weaker.

"First step, penetrate!" Li Yuan was very patient.

"Second step, condense the patterns."

...

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Whoosh~

The Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit in front of Li Yuan suddenly glowed brightly, and the faint aura it emitted gradually condensed, eventually becoming ordinary.

It had been thoroughly refined by Li Yuan.

"Refining the Primordial Treasure is like refining a tool, with a unique yet similar charm. The technique created by that Celestial Deity is truly extraordinary." Li Yuan admired sincerely.

Without this technique, he would have only been able to stare at the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit helplessly.

"Absorb." Li Yuan's mind moved, and the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit was moved into the Source Power space.

Inside the Source Power space, a nearly perfectly polished Origin Core hung in the center, surrounded by strands of pure Source Power.

Hoo!

The Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit appeared out of thin air above the Origin Core, and strands of mysterious power seeped out of the fruit, penetrating the Origin Core below... merging directly with it.

"Vibrate~

In the moment of fusion, Li Yuan felt his soul tremble slightly, and a sense of satisfaction arose from within.

This feeling was not an illusion.

The Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit contained an extraordinary power that fundamentally improved the soul's origin, making it stronger and more vibrant.

Not only did it facilitate soul cultivation, but in the future, even if Li Yuan's soul were injured, it would recover more easily.

Moreover, unknowingly, Li Yuan's enlightenment would also receive a boost.

After all, the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit had many uses, even for Celestial Deities, let alone for a little guy like Li Yuan at the Flying Heaven Rank.

And for this reason,

Completely absorbing and refining it to transform the soul would take an extremely long time.

"Based on the absorption speed..."

"I estimate it will take three to four years to refine it thoroughly." Li Yuan made a rough judgment.

...

Absorbing the energy contained in the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit required only a single thought to continuously draw it out.

In Li Yuan's mind, cultivation messages from the 'Mind Illusion Six Realms' appeared.

"The first realm of the Mind Illusion Six Realms, the Illusion of Joy and Anger."

"The second realm, Traverse Five Virtues."

"The third realm, Enlightenment of Seven Emotions."

"The fourth realm, Desire for Color, Longevity, and Pleasure."

"The fifth realm..." Li Yuan's heart pondered: "To truly enter the cultivation, the first step is to construct a mental illusion and refine the heart within one's self-created illusion."

With a thought, Li Yuan's mental world underwent numerous changes, attempting to construct a stable illusionary world.

Creating a mental illusion was entirely different from casting illusions.

Casting illusions involved deceiving the opponent's mental consciousness, manipulating their desires, and unknowingly, their mental world would undergo self-evolution... a relatively easy task.

However, creating a mental illusion was genuinely building something from nothing, an extremely challenging endeavor.

After a brief moment, Li Yuan gave up.

"No wonder Nine Sounds True God's enlightenment mentions that without the Mind Illusion Flower, Dream Realm Stone, and other treasures to aid in cultivation, one must transform their soul to the Demigod Rank before beginning the cultivation."

Li Yuan frowned.

A Demigod Rank soul is powerful enough to support the initial construction of a mental illusion realm.

But Li Yuan? Compared to the deities, his soul is still very weak.

"Treasures like the Mind Illusion Flower and Dream Realm Stone naturally possess the effect of evolving illusions," Li Yuan thought to himself. "As long as they are slightly activated, they can construct an illusion realm for cultivation... But even the Nine Sounds True Deity doesn’t have them, where can I find them?"

"Could it be..."

"Should I temporarily give up cultivating the 'Mind Illusion Six Realms'?" Li Yuan felt reluctant.

He knew very well how powerful this cultivation method was. If he could cultivate it, his will would grow much faster.

"No, that’s not right!"

"I don’t have treasures like the Dream Realm Stone," Li Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up. "But I have another method, I must try it."

Swish~

Li Yuan's mind stirred, and his mental consciousness gathered in the mental Divine Palace, swiftly descending into the vast starry sky.

The Great Sun Radiance remained unchanged.

"Observation Technique cultivation within the Great Sun Radiance contains countless evolving illusions, and it similarly stirs various desires within my heart, pointing directly at my true self," Li Yuan's consciousness stood in the void, his eyes flickering. "I was too foolish."

"How could I have forgotten?"

Li Yuan no longer hesitated; his consciousness body emitted a hazy, translucent light and quickly approached the Great Sun Radiance, wanting to verify his thoughts.

Rumbling~

A lava fire serpent suddenly erupted, and Li Yuan's consciousness body actively made contact. At the same time, the cultivation method for the first realm of the 'Mind Illusion Six Realms' appeared in his mind.

Hiss~

Li Yuan's consciousness rapidly became blurry, already entering the first layer of an illusion realm.

"Little Yuan, come, let’s fly." A young man in casual clothes steadily lifted a boy of about four or five years old over his head, running in circles in the living room.

"Ha ha ha! Flying an airplane." The boy laughed.

"Be careful, don't drop Little Yuan," a young woman called out from the kitchen while picking vegetables.

"Don’t worry, dear, I’m a warrior," the young man in casual clothes laughed. "Little Yuan, strive to become a Flying Heaven Warrior, then you can always fly."

"Okay," the little boy said cheerfully, not understanding what a Flying Heaven Warrior meant.

"Brother, I and Xiao Hui have come, what delicious food is Sister-in-law making, it smells so good!" Li Changzhou, about twenty years old, carrying large and small bags, walked in through the open door.

"Changzhou, you came, you came, why bring anything?" The young woman quickly came out of the kitchen...

The family scene was incredibly warm...

"Dad, Mom..." Li Yuan’s consciousness fused with of his younger self, feeling a vague sense.

Some once-forgotten memories floated to the surface of his mind.

Gradually, a tear formed at the corner of Li Yuan's eye.

This was happiness, but this incredibly warm scene could never be relived.

...

In the sixth grade, when he finally recovered from a serious illness, Li Yuan finally felt he could live and study like a normal child.

"Ha ha, Little Yuan can run now," Li Changzhou was incredibly excited. "Xiao Hui, you must see, Little Yuan can finally run."

Li Yuan felt immense joy in his heart.

After losing his parents, this was the first time he had run with all his might.

"Uncle, I also want to cultivate the Martial Way. I want to avenge my parents. I want to become a Flying Heaven Warrior who can soar through the skies and delve into the earth," Li Yuan, at this time, already understood what a Flying Heaven Warrior meant.

The family gathered around.

"The results of the middle school exam are out."

"Ha ha, Little Yuan, you did well. You passed the key line, you can be admitted," Chen Hui said, quite excited.

.

Young Li Yuan also smiled.

Without any spiritual awakening or extra points, he relied on his superior gun skills and decent academic scores to get into the Guan Shan District First High School, taking an important step on the path of Martial cultivation.

...

From his childhood, to his youth studying martial arts, and then gradually growing into a warrior, Li Yuan's consciousness continuously experienced these scenes.

One layer after another, he experienced countless illusions.

Awakening the mental Divine Palace, constantly breaking through and limits in his third year of High School, repeatedly challenging limits at Kunlun Martial University... Finally, he became an Essence Warrior, fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming a powerful warrior capable of slaying alien races.

Li Yuan's consciousness became increasingly engrossed, his joy in his heart overwhelming.

joy.

Joy and anger.

These are the two most important emotions in life, especially joy, which is the driving force that sust life to continue, the spiritual pillar in times of hardship and adversity.

"Joy."

"Truly captivating." Li Yuan murmured to himself, His consciousness returned to clarity and swiftly left the layers of vivid illusions.

The Great Sun Radiance indeed contains the cultivation methods for the first three realms of the ' 'Mind Illusion ' 'Mind Ill Six, Six"MindIll Six Realms' cultivation method, the Great Sun Radiance's countless illusions naturally give rise to the needed illusions.
