Chapter 114 - Dao World
Qin Tian created a very wide crypt under the mountain.
Now that he had the Spiritual Durian, he would naturally directly cultivate to increase his strength once again.
Shua...
He then took out the fruit.
As soon as the fruit appeared, a green light instantly filled the crypt. What's even more amazing is; Countless herbs suddenly grew in that crypt. In fact, the trees on top of the mountain started growing taller ever since the fruit appeared.
Qin Tian's eyes immediately shone brightly when he saw the fruit. Actually he wasn't sure how much his strength would increase after he ate the fruit.
The spiritual durian in front of him might be the most ordinary among the spiritual durians, but even that was enough to drive Saints crazy.
The fruit not only contained enormous spiritual energy, it also contained the Dao that would make the one who ate it fall into endless enlightenment.
Moreover, the fruit was much easier to refine compared to the spiritual dragon fruit.
If he refined the fruit, unlocking one more divine symbol was a sure thing, there was even a possibility that he would unlock two divine symbols.
Qin Tian calmed himself down before sitting cross-legged.
Looking at the fruit flying in front of him, he felt as if there would be a change in him if he refined the fruit.
After a few minutes, he then reached out his hand to take the fruit.
Without thinking, he then opened his mouth and pushed the fruit into his mouth. Durian should not be eaten directly. The real fruit of Durian is inside the skin. The skin of Durian usually contained quite coarse spiritual energy, but he didn't care, the Primordial God Body would take care of that problem.
Gulp...
With a single push from his hand, the fruit directly entered his mouth and reached his stomach.
In an instant, his body swelled up like a balloon. Green light then radiated from his body. But what surprised him even more was because plants had suddenly grown on his body.
He had of course eaten Spiritual Durian in his past life, but that never happened.
"Life!" He suddenly found himself beginning to comprehend the Dao of life all by himself.
"I don't know what happened, but it's a good thing."
He then closed his eyes.
Shua... Shua... Shua...
His nine divine symbols leapt out from within his body.
And at this moment, one of those divine symbols started to turn green.
It changed very quickly, and a black hole then appeared in the middle of it.
After that, spiritual energy flowed out from within his body and they entered that black hole.
The moment that happened, Qin Tian was shocked once again because he suddenly felt a change within his spiritual world.
He quickly entered his spiritual world to see what was going on.
Within his spiritual realm, he saw his 31,000 spiritual sources and his spiritual core suddenly melt, after which, they were then condensed into one.
"This…" He was immediately taken aback when he saw that.
It was not a strange sight because in his past life he had also experienced it. But that only happened when he broke through to the Ancient Saint realm.
The Ancient Saint Realm and Paragon Realm did not have stages because from the moment one entered those realms, spiritual energy was no longer the main foundation of their cultivation.
When one becomes an Ancient Saint, all the spiritual sources in their body and even their spiritual core will combine to form their own Dao world.
The Dao world is like a universe. It has the sun, moon and planets in it. The stronger a person was, the wider their Dao world would become. And in order to become stronger, one needed to increase their understanding of the Dao.
It was said that an emperor's Dao world would grow like a small galaxy. Their Heaven's Will became the heaven for their Dao world.
To be sure, once one possessed the Dao realm, they no longer needed spiritual energy to increase their cultivation. It was because their Dao would create their own spiritual energy.
They only needed spiritual energy if they wanted to replenish spiritual energy more quickly after they ran out of spiritual energy.
But there was a slight difference for the nine divine symbols. Since they were essentially separate existences from the spiritual world and the Dao world, they still needed external spiritual energy to unlock them.
What was happening to his spiritual world right now was that it was evolving into a Dao world.
But he was still at the Spiritual Master realm, how could that be?
"Is it because of the Primordial God Body?" He guessed.
He still wasn't too sure. He wondered if people who possessed Heavenly Bodies would also turn their spiritual world into a Dao world faster than others.
There were no records of it because there were very few existences that possessed Heavenly Bodies and those who possessed them didn't say much about their bodies either.
"Don't worry master, it must be a good thing for you!" Luna spoke.
Qin Tian gave her the authority to observe his body, so she always knew what was going on with his cultivation.
"Don't you know about this either?" Qin Tian asked.
"I am also not sure. The cultivation of the gods in the past is already too strong, they rarely talk about the lower realms."
"But with it, you can cultivate more easily because all you need to do to increase your cultivation is to comprehend the Dao and improve your Dao."
"Mm." Qin Tian nodded.
In theory, Ancient Saints could cultivate more easily because they no longer needed to accumulate spiritual energy. But the higher the cultivation realm the more difficult the Dao they needed to comprehend. Therefore many end up stuck without being able to make a breakthrough.
Qin Tian then looked at the stats.
Even though his Dao world had not yet fully formed, his stats had already undergone a change.
Statistics:
<Cultivation: Spiritual Master Third Stage>
Now that there was only that, his spiritual source had disappeared from the statistical records.
Of course, compared to the Dao world, spiritual resources were almost nothing. Spiritual sources are like external objects while the Dao world is internal because everything in the Dao world comes from oneself.
The spiritual energy that comes from ourselves means that we can control it in a better way.
Qin Tian continued to notice the changes within his spiritual world.
The first thing that formed was a living planet.
Mountains and trees appeared on the planet. And they all emitted a spiritual energy that made him feel extremely powerful.
Normally it would take quite a long time to convert the spiritual world into a Dao world, but the changes to hims happened very quickly.
Of course, compared to an Ancient Saint's Dao world, his current Dao world was much smaller. It only has a planet.
At the same time, the divine symbol outside his body was already completely exposed. It then flew beside the other two divine symbols. The green light from the divine symbol made the crypt filled with lush trees.
Qin Tian had never studied the Dao of life, but right now he had instead unlocked the divine symbol of life.
Even though his cultivation did not increase, the results were completely beyond his expectations.
But even he himself still didn't fully understand how it happened. The only thing he could think of was that the Spiritual Durian might have pushed his Primordial God Body to evolve to the next stage.
And perhaps it was the vitality of the fruit that had allowed him to begin to master the Dao of life.
...
Sha...
He then opened his eyes, causing his body to erupt with boundless spiritual energy.
That spiritual energy pushed the herbs that grew on his body and around him. Even the mountain above it was made to explode.
Soon he appeared in an open area.
He then flew into the air. As he looked around, he found the trees around the mountain he had destroyed had grown so tall that the mountains where they grew were covered by them.
"The fighting power of the Dao of life is indeed very weak, but their vitality is truly unimaginable."
That includes the rare Dao. Even many demons that came from plants couldn't understand it.
In the sixteen heavens, only fairies were talented enough to comprehend the Dao of life.
It was said that the spiritual energy of the Dao of life could make an old person young again.
Most importantly, cultivators with the Dao of life could make agriculture a hundred times more fertile.
And because of their affinity with herbs, so they can sense the existence of rare plants better.
Alchemists were highly respected for their ability to make pills, but even they had to respect people with the Dao of life because they would need their help if they wanted to find rare plants.
