The spiritual energy rolled and turned into spiritual mist, and the entire Changsheng Mountain seemed to be shrouded in it.
All the withered flowers, plants and trees suddenly became full of vitality at this moment. Not only did they recover all the lost life essence, but they also became even stronger.
Boom!
In the forbidden area at the back mountain, thunder exploded, and in the destructive lightning, a strong vitality was born. A ten-foot-tall enlightenment tree, as thick as an arm, was enveloped in thousands of rays of light, and its branches and leaves were like a chain of order, floating with the most original breath of the Tao.
The Enlightenment Tree, which was originally only an inch tall, burst out with unimaginable mysterious power after being replenished with the Heaven-stealing Liquid.
A few hours later, when the aura of the Enlightenment Tree gradually stabilized and the spiritual mist covering the Changsheng Mountain dissipated, the entire forbidden area in the back mountain had undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the valley within a radius of dozens of miles, flowers and plants sprouted from the ground, emitting brilliant spiritual light. Spiritual herbs grew wildly all around, and exotic flowers and plants gave off fragrance, as if it had turned into a sea of flowers.
Especially the Enlightenment Tree in the center, which is only about ten feet tall and as thick as an arm, but its branches and leaves are twisted like a coiled dragon. The leaves are lush and green, shrouded in green glow, and the mysterious patterns on the leaves seem to blend into one with the surrounding nature.
Endless breath of life emanates, as vast as the ocean.
Every living being that approaches the Enlightenment Tree seems to be trapped in the most fundamental laws of heaven, and their cultivation level increases rapidly.
Ling Xiao opened his eyes first, and his cultivation level remained firmly at the seventh level of the Spirit Transformation Realm!
It’s not that Ling Xiao didn’t want to improve his realm, but the wordless heavenly book in his sea of consciousness was too overbearing and almost devoured 99% of the life essence in Ling Xiao’s body.
The golden light increased by another one percent. Ling Xiao felt like crying but had no tears. He wanted to wait for the next secret technique to appear, but he didn't know when that would happen.
Immediately afterwards, Nangong Xuan, the Great Elder, Nangong Qing and Liu Piaopiao all woke up, each of them showing an expression of great surprise in their eyes.
Except for Nangong Qing, Nangong Xuan, the Great Elder and Liu Piaopiao have all improved their cultivation a lot. Their life essence is extremely abundant. Even the wrinkles on the Great Elder's face have completely disappeared. His face is as rosy as a baby's, and his qi and blood are extremely vigorous.
Although Nangong Qing's cultivation was still at the peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, in that mysterious state of enlightenment, she actually cultivated the Seven-Star Moon Sword to perfection in one fell swoop!
One sword with seven stars, anyone who stands in its way will be killed!
Next, it is time to return to the origin and understand the artistic conception of swordsmanship.
"This Enlightenment Tree is truly amazing, it is worthy of being the number one innate spiritual root!"
Nangong Xuan's cultivation finally broke through to the fourth level of the Grandmaster Realm. Looking at the Enlightenment Tree in front of him, there was a hint of amazement in his eyes.
"That's right! And I feel that the speed of practicing under the Enlightenment Tree can be increased by more than ten times! And that kind of aura can clear the mind and focus the spirit, and it can subtly improve one's aptitude. Even if an ordinary person practices under the Enlightenment Tree for a long time, he will become a martial arts genius!"
The Great Elder smiled slightly.
"The Enlightenment Tree is worthy of being called the Enlightenment Tree! It can make people fall into the state of enlightenment. With the Enlightenment Tree, our Changsheng Sect is no worse than those martial arts holy places, and may even be better! However, this Enlightenment Tree is of great importance, so it must be kept secret and cannot be leaked!"
Nangong Qing said solemnly.
Nangong Xuan and the Great Elder looked stern and nodded.
The current strength of the Changsheng Sect is still too weak. If a martial arts holy place like the Wanshou Sect gets to know the news of the Enlightenment Tree, they will probably go crazy and come to snatch it, and the Changsheng Sect will be unable to resist at all.
"Do they dare to covet the treasures of my Changsheng Sect?"
Ling Xiao smiled coldly and said, "The reason why the Great Array of Immortality and Conferred Gods is so weak is because there is no powerful treasure to suppress it. Now that the Enlightenment Tree has revived, it can just serve as the center of the Great Array of Immortality and Conferred Gods. If anyone dares to break in by force, even a strong man in the Heavenly Man Realm will not be able to break through the formation! Moreover, with the statue of the Heaven Devouring Patriarch guarding it, whoever dares to come will die!"
Nangong Xuan and the Great Elder's eyes lit up. Unknowingly, they found out that Changsheng Sect had so many powerful trump cards.
"Even though that's what I said, it's better for our Changsheng Sect to keep a low profile. From now on, this valley will be a forbidden area for Changsheng Sect. No one can enter without the order from me and the Holy Son. If the elders or true disciples have made great contributions and are loyal to the sect, we can consider letting them enter to practice! In short, the fewer people who know about the Enlightenment Tree, the better!"
Nangong Xuan said solemnly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, three extremely powerful aura fluctuations emanated from Changsheng Mountain. The clouds were bright and the void was shaking, causing everyone's expressions to change.
“Hahaha… Elders Wang Feng, Li Yu, and Meng Lei have finally made a breakthrough. From now on, our Changsheng Sect has three more Grandmaster-level experts!”
Nangong Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he thought of something and burst into laughter.
These three elders were previously close to Lin Shan’s faction, and all of them had reached the ninth level of the Dragon-Tiger Realm. However, they were given three Seven Profound Treasure Pills by Ling Xiao. They did not expect that the vast life essence brought about by the revival of the Enlightenment Tree would allow the three of them to break through to the Grandmaster level.
Ling Xiao, Nangong Xuan and others walked out of the valley.
Outside the valley, three old men with youthful faces and white hair exuded powerful innate energy. Their aura was as deep as the ocean, and their faces were filled with expressions of great excitement and surprise.
As soon as they saw Nangong Xuan, Ling Xiao and others coming out, the three of them immediately knelt on the ground and bowed deeply.
"Sect Master, Holy Son, the three of us were deceived by Lin Shan before and almost made a big mistake. Thanks to the Holy Son for not abandoning us and granting us the Seven Mysterious Treasure Pills, we finally broke through to the Grandmaster level. From now on, the lives of the three of us belong to the Holy Son. From now on, we will be loyal to the Holy Son and to the Changsheng Sect, even if it means our death!"
The three elders all spoke with earnest expressions.
"Three elders, please stand up. From now on, as long as you are loyal to the sect, what does the mere Grandmaster level mean? Even the Heavenly Man Level and the King Level are not impossible! You can find me at Jinse Pavilion later, and I will teach you the Three Talents Soul Sealing Sword Formation!"
Ling Xiao smiled slightly.
"Three Talents Soul Sealing Sword Formation?!"
Elder Wang Feng exclaimed, his eyes full of disbelief.
“Son, are you talking about the Three Talents Soul Sealing Sword Formation that was lost in our Changsheng Sect hundreds of years ago? It is said that if three people perform the Three Talents Soul Sealing Sword Technique at the same time, they can unleash nine times the power, which is extremely powerful!”
Li Yu and Meng Lei were also excited.
All three of them practiced swordsmanship, so naturally they were very familiar with the Changsheng Sect's swordsmanship and martial arts.
Although the Three Talents Soul Sealing Sword Technique is only a top-grade earth-level martial art, when three people work together to perform the Three Talents Soul Sealing Sword Formation, they can unleash a power comparable to the ultimate earth-level martial arts!
