Chapter 175: Chapter 127: The Song Clan Visits

After calming his inner breath, Chu Zheng slowly opened his eyes and said, unable to hide his eagerness,

"Elder Gong, are there any other Five Elements spiritual objects?"

The foundation of the Taixuan Holy Land was formidable. Undoubtedly, it would not lack spiritual objects.

"You have more than one Dao foundation?!"

Gong Rulong noticed the few strands of Qi leaking from Chu Zheng's dantian and involuntarily took a sharp breath, his eyes filled with astonishment.

The majority of cultivators' physiques, based on innate tendencies, become more pronounced after beginning cultivation under the influence of cultivation techniques.

Those cultivating the Taixuan Divine Fire Scripture would mostly form a Dao foundation of the fire attribute.

Forming multiple Dao foundations was not unheard of, but it was exceedingly rare.

Having an additional Dao foundation often meant an increased burden on cultivation growth, requiring extra effort to enhance, which for ordinary cultivators, could slow their progress.

"There are some other spiritual objects, but none as rare as the Heavenly Flame Grass. As for the Five Elements spiritual objects... please wait a moment."

Returning to his senses, Gong Rulong hastily left.

This time, it took half a day before he returned, bringing many spiritual objects with him.

[Ice Spirit Flower (Fourth Order): High-quality spiritual object, grown under ice layers that don't melt for tens of thousands of years, drawing a great amount of Water Spirit Qi. Consuming it can significantly enhance affinity with water-attribute spiritual Qi.]

[Moon Essence Silver Dew (Fourth Order): High-quality spiritual object, a product of the Spiritual Spring absorbing the essence of the moon. It can slightly enhance the constitution of the living beings and fill up the deficiency of water-attribute internally.]

[Spiritual Jade Branch (Sixth Order/Incomplete): A spiritual awakening object, grown in the core area of a superior spirit vein as a strange grass, nearly transformed into a human, just a step away from becoming an immortal plant.

It was chopped by a True Immortal, leaving only a segment of its branch and leaves, its vitality broken, beyond repair, permanently residing underground, absorbing a large amount of earth-attribute spiritual power, capable of altering a cultivator's constitution, swallowing in large amounts offers a certain chance to induce an Acquired Earth Spirit Constitution.]

[Starry Ancient Tree (Fifth Order/Incomplete): Superior spiritual object, an exotic species grown upon the stars, consuming gold as it absorbed all the essence of a Dead Star, nearing spiritual awakening. Its wood-attribute spiritual Qi is extremely rich. Due to being away from the stars for too long, the spiritual Qi is vanishing, repairable (0/1000).]

...

The spiritual objects Gong Rulong brought were quite abundant, with more than ten types. Apart from the fire attribute, it covered the other four elements, but their quality was mixed.

Except for that segment of Spiritual Jade Branch, the rest couldn't compare with the Heavenly Flame Grass.

"After all, it has been ten thousand years since we last opened our sect gate, and the resources have dwindled. Previously, to help you recruit some Soul Condensing Cultivators for support, quite a lot of resources were distributed. Now, in the treasury, what remains useful for you is only these."

"These are sufficient, thank you, Elder Gong."

At this, Chu Zheng was not the slightest bit disappointed. If he had to collect these spiritual objects himself, it would take an unknown amount of time.

Chu Zheng did not rest for long, promptly beginning to enhance the quality of his Dao foundation again. The slight fatigue he had felt before, under the effects of the enhancement panel, was completely swept away.

For the second Celestial Foundation, Chu Zheng focused on the Water Attribute Dao Foundation. Given that water and fire counteract each other, the suppression it currently suffered was the most severe and needed to be addressed first.

After consuming all the Water-Attribute spiritual objects, Chu Zheng Raised his Water Attribute Dao Foundation to the eighth layer. He intended to press on to the ninth layer in one fell swoop, but due to a shortage of spiritual objects and the suppression from the Fire Attribute Foundation, he ultimately failed.

Chu Zheng did not rush to enhance the Gold Attribute Dao Foundation. He could return to his residence later to nourish it with the Gold Element Qi from the magic treasures, so there was no need to hurry.

The remaining Wood and Earth Attribute Dao Foundations were the weakest links within his Five Elements structure.

With the Taixuan Divine Fire for the Fire Attribute Foundation, the Tai Xu Scripture for water, and the Glazed Record of Immortality, albeit incomplete, for gold which still counted as an Immortal Ascension Method providing temporary sufficiency.

However, the Wood and Earth Attributes still lacked their respective Immortal Ascension Methods, resulting in minor imperfections in the quality of their Dao foundations.

The methods of forming Dao foundations in Immortal Ascension Methods far surpassed ordinary cultivation techniques, with a gap as vast as that between heaven and earth.

Although the Starry Ancient Tree was incomplete, it still ranked as a superior spiritual object, and despite some flaws in the Wooden Element Dao Foundation, it forcefully raised Chu Zheng's Wood Attribute Dao Foundation to the eighth layer, still with force to spare.

The most precious segment of the Spiritual Jade Branch was not used by Chu Zheng yet. He saved it, consuming the other Earth-Attribute spiritual objects, and his Earth Element Dao Foundation remained at the seventh layer, the weakest among the Five Elements.

Having used up the Spiritual Jade Branch, his hopes of reaching the ninth layer were exceedingly slim, for the cultivation technique to build his Dao Foundation was greatly inferior.

Compared with the Immortal Ascension Method, even a Sixth Order cultivation true formula seemed somewhat inadequate now.

It would be better to find the appropriate Immortal Ascension Method and push forward in one vigorous effort rather than waste the spiritual object.

"How is it?"

Seeing Chu Zheng finish his cultivation, Gong Rulong suddenly appeared somewhat nervous.

"Thank you, Elder, I am only one step away from perfection," Chu Zheng nodded. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

At those words, Gong Rulong's brow furrowed slightly and he waved his hand, "There's no need to rush. I will send out a message right now to help you search for spiritual objects, and results should be forthcoming soon."

"It's not a shortage of spiritual objects."

Chu Zheng shook his head, his eyes filled with anticipation, "I lack two Immortal Ascension Methods needed to perfect the Wood Element and Earth Element Dao Foundations. Do we have them in the Holy Land?"

"It had been rumored that you seized several Holy Lands' Immortal Ascension Methods for the purpose of entering the path?!"

Even with his vast experience, Gong Rulong was shocked by Chu Zheng's idea, "You intend to cultivate five Immortal Ascension Methods simultaneously?!"

The complexity and profoundness of Immortal Ascension Methods were such that ordinary prodigies found cultivating even one an arduous task. Cultivating five, moreover with mutual constructive and destructive relationships, was akin to reaching for the heavens.

Chu Zheng nodded, about to speak, but Gong Rulong raised his hand to interrupt, "Wait a moment, let this old man gather his thoughts."

He paced back and forth, his breathing slightly rapid and irregular, a reaction almost impossible for a Tongxuan Pseudo-Immortal.

Yet at this moment, Gong Rulong could not afford to be distracted.

Faced with Chu Zheng, he could not even utter words of dissuasion. He himself possessed only a High Quality Immortal Bone and had only cultivated one seven-layer Dao Foundation; lacking talent in alchemy, he couldn't hold his head high before those with Superior Immortal Bones.

These monstrous talents couldn't be judged by normal standards. Carelessly offering advice might just mislead the next generation.

Now, naturally, Gong Rulong began to consider how to acquire these Immortal Ascension Methods for Chu Zheng.

"Within the Immortal Alliance, there is no shortage of methods for becoming an immortal. If you have enough merits, you could even acquire Immortal King's Secret Techniques, supreme Divine Skills, but currently, you scarcely have any merits, and we don't have the luxury of waiting..."

"The Sect-Defending Secret Scripture of Primordial Spirit Holy Land, the Vast Earth Nourishing Spirit True Scripture, is connected to Earth Element. Perhaps there's a way..."

Gong Rulong stopped pacing, sinking deeper into thought, his gaze narrowing.

Hum——

As he pondered, a beam of spiritual light flew in from outside the cave and landed near Gong Rulong's ear, snapping him back to reality, his eyes filled with slight confusion:

"Someone is looking for you, from the Eastern Territory Song Clan."

This was a message from the Mountain Guardian Elder, who had delivered an invitation from the Song Clan, seeking an audience with Chu Zheng.

That day, when Chu Zheng returned to the sect, it caused a great stir, witnessed by many.

The news that the Taixuan Holy Son had already returned to the sect had spread far and wide.

Hearing of the Eastern Territory Song Clan, Chu Zheng pondered for a while, then quickly decided to meet them.

Although they had not met, Chu Zheng had guessed the purpose of their visit; it was undoubtedly for that piece of Family Heritage Blood Jade.

The sooner the Song Clan's secret realm issue was resolved, the fewer troubles there would be later.

Since the Song Clan had once produced a True Immortal, they must possess Immortal Ascension Methods. In this regard, Chu Zheng was very interested.

He was now the son-in-law of the Southern Territory Song Clan, all one family, hence they ought to help each other.
