Chapter 785 Chen Xinghong, Yi Wood Dao Body (Spiritual Root)

However, peerless fairies who have achieved a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul naturally look down upon those inferior to them.

Alas, most male cultivators with exceptional talent had long been preemptively claimed by other female cultivators, and nearly all of them kept more than 1 concubine.

They refused to submit to others yet scorned those beneath them, thus devoting their hearts solely to the pursuit of the Great Dao.

Only when they felt they had no hope of advancing further would they consider other options.

For them, unless they could find a cultivation partner who stood as their equal—like Lilith, Mistress of Desire (Person Name) and Kael (Person Name)—they would rather become a concubine to a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord than marry someone beneath their own standing.

After all, given their innate talents, if they were fully supported by a Nascent Soul Dao Lord, there might still be some chance of them breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Compared to becoming a cultivation concubine for a Nascent Soul Dao Lord, Palace Master Qingyao's union with Dao Lord Dinghai as cultivation partners could truly be considered a match made in the celestial realms.

Hearing this, Eldrin asked again, "How did this celestial communion turn out?"

3 strands of Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root) descended upon the Guyuan Mountains, while the Heaven's Spine Mountains (Location) also received 3 strands of Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root).

The old clan leader spoke unhurriedly, then said calmly, "We have obtained 1 of these Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root), Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name)'s disciple has also acquired 1, while the remaining 4 have fallen into others' hands."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this.

For a Nascent Soul Dao Lord, the Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root) could not be considered exceptionally rare, yet it still amounted to a modest but not insignificant fortune.

After Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) achieved a breakthrough in his primordial spirit, he had only managed to gather 6 strands of Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root) from the edge of the 9 Heavens.

In truth, with Maris the Sea Steader's cultivation at the Nascent Soul realm, he could have gathered even more Heavenly Dao Qi.

However, the number of Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root) nurtured within the Violet Realm also had its limits. If a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord harvested too much, the cultivators of the world would naturally receive a smaller share.

Thus, the will of the Violet Realm established a decree: aside from obtaining additional Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root) during their breakthrough based on their innate foundation, Soul Formation Dao Lords could only gather 3 strands every 1 1000 years thereafter.

Once this number is exceeded, any additional harvesting will incur karmic retribution, requiring a certain price to resolve.

The thought that a junior from his family, without any prior scheming on his part, had managed to seize the Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root) brought a flicker of delight to Eldrin’s heart. He inquired with a hint of pride, “Which young scion has proven so remarkably outstanding this time?”

Of the Xing generation, his name was Chen Xing'ge.

The Elder Uncle was also quite pleased, and once he started talking about the younger generation of the clan, he couldn’t help but go on and on.

Chen Xinghong was the most outstanding talent of the Xing generation, a truly heaven-blessed prodigy. He possessed the legendary Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) and was endowed with the extraordinary Yi Wood Dao Body (Spiritual Root).

That Yi Wood Dao Body (Spiritual Root), much like the Purple Flame True Monarch's Purple Flame Dao Body, stands as 1 of the 5 Elements Dao Bodies.

This constitution could not be considered a top-tier Dao Body, yet it possessed 1 unparalleled advantage—the bearer of this constitution would enjoy an exceptionally long lifespan.

Take Chen Xinghong as an example. Although he had only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, his lifespan was twice as long as that of other Nascent Soul cultivators of the same rank.

Even more astonishing is the legend that the advanced form of the Yi Wood Dao Body (Spiritual Root) is the fabled Evergreen Body of Yi Wood. Cultivators possessing such a supreme constitution enjoy a lifespan several times longer than their peers of the same cultivation stage.

If 1 cultivates to the Nascent Soul realm, they can live for 40,000 to 50,000 years in a single lifetime. With longevity treasures like the Nirvana Immortal Apricot, living for over 100,000 to 200,000 years would be effortless.

From this perspective, the Yi Wood Eternal Life Body rivals even the Black Tortoise Progenitor in terms of longevity alone—and the Black Tortoise is a mythical immortal species no weaker than the True Dragon. Chen Xingxiong possesses the Yi Wood Dao Body (Spiritual Root), which, though not comparable to the Yi Wood Eternal Life Body, could become the family’s foundational pillar if he were to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Even if immortality remains beyond reach, it should at least ensure the clan's peace and prosperity for tens of thousands of years to come.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but remark with relief, "Over these past few centuries, I've rarely involved myself in the clan's affairs, whether major or minor. Never did I expect such a promising rising star to emerge among our people."

"Very well. After I emerge from seclusion this time, I shall pay this Chen Xinghong a visit."

The old clan leader smiled upon hearing this, then stroked his beard and said, "After all, this is the family's rising star. It is only fitting that you meet him alone."

"No need to rush."

Eldrin rose to his feet, his gaze settling upon the fiery-red jujube tree growing above the fire vein. "By my calculations," he spoke calmly, "the time has come to advance the Rank B Fire Immortal Jujube Tree."

It turned out that as early as 3 years ago, the Fiery Sun Immortal Date Tree had already advanced to the peak of fifth-grade, standing merely a step away from becoming a sixth-grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root).

At this time, the Binghuo Immortal Date Tree could bear 9 Binghuo Immortal Dates every 1000 years, sufficient to aid 9 True Monarchs at the Nascent Soul stage in breaking through to the late stage.

However, this was as far as it went. To advance further, it still required the Primordial Purple Qi to lend a helping hand.

The 2 arrived before the Fire-Attributed Immortal Jujube Tree. After carefully observing it, Eldrin exhaled 9 breaths of Primordial Purple Qi in succession, allowing them to merge into the tree.

The Emberfire Immortal Jujube Tree had absorbed 9 wisps of Primordial Purple Qi, silently shattering an invisible shackle. Its foundation and latent potential underwent a staggering metamorphosis.

Behold, the Fiery Sun Immortal Date Tree was enveloped in swirling strands of innate violet energy that draped over its blazing crimson foliage, as it nurtured and evolved even more astonishing Dao patterns.

Eldrin calculated for a moment before speaking after a long while, "Advancing to a sixth-grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root is no simple feat. I estimate it will require another 6 100 years for this Bing Fire Immortal Jujube Tree to complete its ascension."

"6 100 years?"

Chen Changxuan fell into deep contemplation, and only after a long pause did he speak: "Once this Emberfire Immortal Jujube Tree advances to the sixth rank, I am confident I can elevate this earth vein to the sixth rank within 3 100 years."

"Good."

Eldrin couldn't help but reveal a faint smile. By this calculation, within a 1000 years, the Chen Family would possess an invaluable sixth-order ancestral vein.

With a touch of delight, Eldrin visited Sacred Apricot Isle, Azure Lotus Shallows, Spirit Isle Lake, and the Isle of 8 Trigrams. By expending Primordial Purple Qi, he broke through the bottlenecks for several of his clan's Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots.

The family's Spirit Peach Tree, the Creation Blue Lotus, and other Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root) nurtured by Eldrin (Person Name) had successively advanced to the fifth-rank superior grade over the years, reaching the pinnacle where further progress was impossible.

Now nourished by the Primordial Purple Qi from Eldrin (Person Name), these Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root) shall continue their growth. Though each spiritual root requires varying durations for advancement, reaching the Sixth Order realm is merely a matter of time.

After handling these matters, Eldrin went to Verdant Chariot Mountain and summoned Chen Xinghong, the clan's newly advanced Nascent Soul cultivator.

Chen Xinghong was still quite young by cultivation standards. Thanks to his innate talent and his clan's nurturing over the years, he had already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm at just over 5 100 years of age.

Logically speaking, such a peerless prodigy would be a figure renowned across all continents, commanding respect even from late-stage Nascent Soul powerhouses. Naturally, they would possess an unyielding pride in their hearts.
