Chapter Thirty-two: Preaching on the Immortal Island

  For Shi Zhong, this fairy island is indeed a good fairy island, and it has large innate spiritual veins. Although in the current Honghuang world, the innate spiritual energy is very abundant, so most people don't think much of some fairy mountains with innate spiritual veins even if they are coveted. However, Shi Zhong knows that in later generations, most innate spiritual veins were destroyed in the great calamity, and only some post-heavenly formed post-heavenly spiritual veins remained, releasing post-heavenly spiritual energy.

  Here's the translation:

  It's not possible to talk about postnatal spiritual energy without mentioning the role of prenatal spiritual energy. The role of prenatal spiritual energy is truly extraordinary, and in the current primordial world, it's abundant, so it's hard to notice. To achieve the great Luo Golden Immortal in cultivation, one must undergo a prenatal exchange, which requires a large amount of prenatal spiritual energy during this process. Without prenatal spiritual energy, it's impossible to advance to the position of Great Luo Golden Immortal. Of course, some prenatal spiritual fruits have similar effects and are even better than using a large amount of prenatal spiritual energy.

  This is also why many scattered immortals in the heavenly court of later generations are willing to serve in the heavenly court, because it is already very difficult to find pre-heavenly spiritual veins in later generations. Without pre-heavenly spiritual veins, it means there is no pre-heavenly spiritual energy, which also means that eternal life cannot be promoted to the position of Daluo Jinxian. The heavenly court has pre-heavenly spiritual roots, 1200 high-quality pre-heavenly spiritual peach trees, 1200 medium-quality pre-heavenly spiritual peach trees, and 1200 low-quality pre-heavenly spiritual peach trees.

  Having the capital of Tian Ting, it's not easy to be strong! After all, even if the congenital spiritual root is a low-grade congenital spiritual root, the fruit that comes out of it is also full of congenital spiritual energy. With dozens of such low-grade congenital spiritual fruits, one can guarantee that a Golden Immortal cultivator at the peak will break through to the Mahayana Golden Immortal realm.

  "What my fellow daoist said is absolutely right, we have already taken away the spiritual treasure of this immortal island. When doing things, it is necessary to leave a thread of life for all living beings in the world. I, Dao Zan, agree that this immortal island should be used as a gathering place for scattered immortals." At this time, Yang Mei spoke up first. In fact, Yang Mei was now the leader of the Scattered Cultivators' Alliance. However, there were still many scattered cultivators who had not joined the alliance, after all, although the Scattered Cultivators' Alliance was a place where scattered cultivators lived, it still had some rules and regulations, which for those who pursued freedom and ease in the world, was clearly not their best choice.

  Moreover, Yang Mei is also a person who yearns for carefree wandering. Otherwise, in the previous life's myth, Yang Mei had achieved enlightenment one thousand years earlier than Hong Jun. However, even though Yang Mei achieved enlightenment so early, she did not think of spreading her own great way in the vast and chaotic world, nor did she establish her own Daoist tradition like Hong Jun created the Xuanmen sect. From this, it can be seen that Yang Mei is indeed a person who yearns for carefree wandering in her heart. It's just that Yang Mei has not yet reached the realm where she can wander carefreely. To know that people like Yang Mei certainly understand that there is no absolute carefree wandering in the world; if you want to have absolute carefree wandering, you must have absolute power to guarantee it, at least reaching the position of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

  After Yang Mei finished, the others, although they wanted to take this island for themselves, looked at the people on the scene and found that it was impossible. It's better to just pretend to be a good person on the surface, so they all agreed to leave the island to all the scattered immortals in the world.

  It was the most painful for Yuan Potian, who knew how difficult it was to cultivate without spiritual energy. In the Saint Martial Great Thousand World, Yuan Potian's family was destroyed because of the spiritual vein.

  The current Primordial World has a very dense Prenatal Spiritual Energy, but no one can guarantee that this Prenatal Spiritual Energy will always be so dense. At least Yuan Potian thinks that the reason why the current Primordial World has such a dense Prenatal Spiritual Energy is because the Heaven's Creation hasn't been for long and hasn't gone through any major catastrophes, so the Prenatal Spiritual Veins born from the Heaven's Creation haven't been destroyed. However, in the future, wars will inevitably happen, so the mountains with Prenatal Spiritual Veins will become more and more precious. But now he can't do anything about it, and to avoid offending these people, he had no choice but to agree reluctantly.

  "Gentlemen, let's deal with this island now!" Shi Zhong said that he wanted to remove the large array surrounding the island and dispose of the chaotic energy within it. After all, they planned to make this immortal island a place for scattered cultivators from all over the world. Not every scattered cultivator had a pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, and such treasures were simply a luxury for some scattered cultivators with poor fate. Moreover, since there was no good cultivation method among the scattered cultivators, it could be said that those who could attain the position of Mahayana Golden Immortal were extremely rare.

  After Shi Zhong finished speaking, everyone prepared to leave in all directions.

  "Absorb!" Shi Zhong's words had just left his mouth when the chaotic aura from all directions converged on him, only to be absorbed into his body. For Shi Zhong, this was basically a trivial matter. In an instant, the chaotic aura surrounding him was all absorbed by Shi Zhong.

  Few people saw Shi Zhong's reckless absorption of the Chaos Qi, and they were still shocked. After all, although the Chaos Qi has very powerful power, these cultivators also dare not absorb the Chaos Qi. This is no different from playing with fire. The strong devouring effect of the Chaos Qi can swallow a defenseless Da Luo Jinxian in less than half a cup of tea time, leaving no residue.

  Moreover, if one cultivates with the aura of chaos, it will take at least to reach the realm of mixed yuan or the body of chaos. Therefore, even strong practitioners like Wuji Laozu cannot absorb the aura of chaos randomly.

  Everyone present was not to be underestimated, although they were shocked that Shi Zhong could absorb the Chaos Qi, as a strong person, at least the heart of a strong person still existed, so it was just a shock and then reacted.

  Yang Mei Old Ancestor also joined in to deal with the Chaos Qi, after all Yang Mei Old Ancestor had the Chaos Spirit Treasure, Chaos Pearl, which was specifically used to restrain the Chaos Qi. Furthermore, due to Yang Mei Old Ancestor's cultivation of spatial laws, under the support of the Chaos Pearl, it didn't take long for him to gather up the surrounding Chaos Qi, and his speed wasn't much slower than Shi Zhong's. Wuji Old Ancestor was also absorbing the Chaos Qi, the Heavenly Earth Tower grew to several thousand feet in size, only seeing the surrounding Chaos Qi crazily rushing towards the Heavenly Earth Tower, after all the Heavenly Earth Tower was a pre-heavenly treasure, but it was still a spatial treasure, and with Wuji Old Ancestor's current cultivation speed, he wasn't inferior to Yang Mei Old Ancestor's Chaos Pearl.

  Several people, including the Ancestral Dragon, were helping to break through this Pre-Heaven Array Formation. Although this array formation was said to be very mysterious, its main strength lay in its concealment aspect, and its attacking power was relatively weak. It was only equivalent to the full-power strike of a Mahayana Golden Immortal. If used against a Mahayana Golden Immortal, it would still have considerable power, but for someone as powerful as the Ancestral Dragon, its power was truly not enough to be taken seriously.

  Under the joint efforts of everyone, the entire Immortal Island was completely tidied up in no time. The entire island is still a very large one, with an area of tens of millions of square kilometers, equivalent to the entire Asian continent on Earth. Its surface has abundant innate spiritual energy due to the presence of dozens of major innate spiritual veins, so the number of medium and small innate spiritual veins derived from it is countless. Almost every mountain has spiritual energy condensed into a fog-like state. Moreover, since no living being has ever destroyed this mountain, the heavenly treasures and earthly treasures on this island are too numerous to count, and the spirit roots are also available in abundance.

  Of course, on this square inch immortal island, there are no more treasures like innate spiritual roots or innate spiritual treasures. However, as for the materials for refining innate instruments, such as innate mysterious iron and mysterious copper, there are still many of them. Even spiritual roots have things like the "Ten Thousand Year Crimson Fruit" (the later-stage spiritual roots mentioned here are also divided into grades: heavenly grade, earthly grade, mysterious grade, yellow grade, ordinary spiritual grass, and common grass and root). The heavenly grade is the highest. These so-called treasures are all looked down upon by powerful beings like Wuji Old Ancestor. If there were slightly better spiritual treasures or spiritual roots, they would have been taken away by Wuji Old Ancestor long ago. During this period, Long Tian Guang only managed to collect over a dozen later-stage spiritual treasures.

  At this time, many people had already been found around the island. Most of them were some scattered cultivators, and there were also some dragon tribe cultivators, or scattered cultivator alliance cultivators. They didn't dare to go in because of the strong ones above, so they just stood outside waiting for the situation, quietly waiting for an opportunity. When they saw the Immortal Island open, some scattered cultivators wanted to go in, but were blocked by the dragon tribe cultivators and the scattered immortal alliance cultivators.

  "Gentlemen, we have now sorted out the way and tidied up this place. Although we can't possess this island, we can still pass on our Taoist traditions here. What do you think?" Shi Zhong asked a few people like Wuji at this time. Shi Zhong was still reluctant to give up this island, so he wanted to pass on his own Taoist tradition on this island. After all, such an immortal island in the Eastern Sea is already one of the top islands. Even if it were taken to the Honghuang Continent, apart from famous mountains like Buzhou Mountain, Yuqing Mountain, and Mount Tai, it would be difficult to compare with this Fangzhang Immortal Island.

  Several people already knew what Shi Zhong meant after he finished speaking. So everyone also expressed agreement with Shi Zhong's suggestion. After all, this way can also have a corresponding force control on the East China Sea. This is also very helpful for competing for the luck of heaven.

  Just as the loose cultivator outside Fangzhang Xian Island was considering whether to enter, a voice came from deep within the island: "Fangzhang Xian Mountain is a place shared by all loose cultivators in the world. As long as you are a cultivator between heaven and earth, you can cultivate on Penglai Island. Today, Shi Zhong True Person, Yuanwang, Wujie True Person, Yangmei True Person, and Zulong will be lecturing on the Great Dao on Fangzhang Xian Island. If you want to listen to the Dao, you can go. You can choose whoever's Dao you want to listen to. However, within the island, you are not allowed to arbitrarily cause disputes or stir up trouble without reason, otherwise your cultivation will be abolished!"

  This was Shi Zhong's voice, and his last sentence was filled with majesty. Any cultivator who had not reached the level of Daluo Jinxian felt a sudden sense of being crushed by a giant mountain, even those at the level of Daluo Jinxian felt an extremely oppressive feeling, but only for an instant. However, this made everyone deeply remember that they could not offend the majesty of the old ancestor, and these cultivators did not dare to challenge the majesty of the strong.

  Just as Shi Zhong finished speaking, the monks heard five different voices from five different places saying the same sentence.

  "I will be lecturing on the Great Way at Fangzhang Xian Island today, those who are destined may come and listen!"

  So, the cultivators of Zhongshu all went to their desired destinations. Most of the dragon clan people thought of their ancestral dragon and went there, including some snake-like fish-like creatures, as long as they swam in the sea, most would go to the place where the ancestral dragon was said to be. Some scattered cultivators either thought of Shi Zhong, or Wuji Old Ancestor, or thought of Yuanwang and went there. However, the cultivators of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance were still numerous, accounting for nearly a third, so those who went to Yangmei Old Ancestor were naturally many more.

  Then, on the island of Fangzhang Xian, a wave of Taoist sounds spread out, and everyone who heard it was also enchanted. Time passed like a white horse crossing a ravine. A thousand years in this vast wilderness is neither long nor short. If you say it's short, then for cultivators like Shi Zhong, even if they just closed their eyes and meditated, it would still take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years to achieve what they wanted. But if you say it's long, then a thousand years is really enough time to do many things.

  Shi Zhong has stopped preaching for a hundred years, but the monks below are still motionless, sitting there contemplating the great way that Shi Zhong preached.

  Shi Zhong looked at the cultivators below, and this time he was still very surprised, because the first two people sitting below were actually Tian Huo and Tian Guang, his two disciples. He then looked at Shi Zhong who had already reached the middle stage of the Law Realm.
