NOVPUBPei Tuo acknowledged with a response and couldn’t wait to enter the [Thousand Rocks Cave Heaven].
Ji Shaoli, on the other hand, was outside, concealing the fluctuations caused by the other party devouring the Cave Heaven.
After all, this place belonged to the Immortal League hinterland, and it was a time of tense battlefield dynamics. Although both he and Pei Tuo were indeed members of the Immortal Alliance, it was still wise to be cautious and to avoid any trouble.
It was the same process as when Li Fan devoured the Five Elements Cave Heaven.
From within the Gold Core, fierce strands of the Root of Heaven and Earth surged out wildly.
With tens of thousands of tendrils, they consciously rooted into every part of the Thousand Rocks Cave Heaven.
Entwining, locking tight.
Eventually enveloping the entire Cave Heaven within.
The Cave Heaven roared, turning into beams of light particles, merging into Pei Tuo’s body.
This process lasted for a full three days.
After three days, Pei Tuo suddenly reappeared in the Xuanhuang World.
The aura of the Nascent Soul Realm surged around him, refusing to settle for a long time.
Long trapped in the Golden Core Realm, and now having made a breakthrough in a single day, Pei Tuo was about to let out a triumphant howl to release the intense pleasure in his heart.
However, he was abruptly brought back to reality by Ji Shaoli’s cold reminder, "Let’s go, don’t linger."
Pei Tuo’s aura immediately stalled.
Although he was now a whole cultivation realm above the other, he did not dare to underestimate Ji Shaoli in the slightest.
The force behind [The Society of Mutual Support] was definitely extremely formidable! Taking control of his little Nascent Soul would certainly be as easy as flipping his hand.
Thus, Pei Tuo obediently followed behind Ji Shaoli, returning to the Misthaven Ocean in a low-profile and swift manner.
And the members of the Misthaven Cooperative Society such as Xiang Xin, upon seeing Pei Tuo who had now reached the Nascent Soul Realm, were profoundly shaken.
They finally confirmed that what Ji Shaoli had said was true.
Some regretted why they weren’t the first to join, while their looks towards Ji Shaoli gradually grew fervent.
After some hesitation, Xiang Xin ultimately couldn’t resist the temptation, and spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Ji, if we make a breakthrough in the future, will the organization..."
Ji Shaoli interrupted with a smile.
"Rest assured, my friends. As the founding members of the Misthaven Cooperative Society, as soon as you reach the required realm, an unclaimed Cave Heaven will be arranged for you! So, your main task now is to cultivate diligently and raise your cultivation as quickly as possible!"
These words instantly gave the present cultivators endless motivation.
Right away, they all returned to the Mysterious Mirror within Ten Thousand Immortals Island and started to cultivate with all their might, regardless of the cost.
And when the news of Pei Tuo’s breakthrough spread, it shockingly moved all the cultivators who had come to attend the feast that day.
For a while, cultivators flocked to Haixuan Island seeking to visit and join the Misthaven Cooperative Society.
However, Ji Shaoli chose to close his doors and refused to meet anyone.
"The law should not be transmitted lightly."
Watching the varied expressions of the cultivators outside the [Taihuang Eight Extremes Dragon Killing Formation], he smiled lightly.
Regardless of how they shouted, he acted as if he didn’t hear a thing, and Ji Shaoli began buying and selling materials in the TianXuan Mirror market again.
Although 6 million contribution points seemed like a lot, they weren’t really enough to use.
He still needed to earn some more before the Cooperative Society could develop.
...
Spirit Tree Realm.
Just at the moment when Pei Tuo officially broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
A vast feedback of cultivation base, inexplicably emerged from within Li Fan’s Dantian.
Instantly absorbed by Li Fan, it caused his Mid Stage Golden Core cultivation to leap forward significantly.
"As I suspected, it works! Using the non-existent ’Crimson Compassionate Immortal’ as an intermediary, the ultimate benefactor is still my original self!" Li Fan took a deep breath, his eyes shining with a sharp light.
The key lied in the so-called oath of membership.
The gist of the oath was that brothers within the Cooperative Society, under the witness of the Merciful Immortal, must support and love each other. All conveniences offered by the Cooperative Society were gifts from the Merciful Immortal. Members must always remember this.
"It seems that it won’t be long before I return to the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm," Li Fan said.
"The only question is whether the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals has discovered the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven at this point in time."
After some contemplation, Li Fan called upon Tianyang to run an errand to Sky-spirit State on his behalf.
He wanted to check the specific situation there.
"Simply gather information, and prioritize your own safety," Li Fan instructed.
Tianyang nodded vigorously, then transformed into a streak of light and fled the Spirit Tree Realm.
"With Tianyang’s strength, even if discovered, escaping shouldn’t pose much of a problem."
"However, a God Transforming Cultivation Level is ultimately not enough. Perhaps after I return to the Nascent Soul, I might consider helping him achieve Unity-Path."
Images of several Essences of Heaven and Earth flashed through Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness in an instant.
After briefly pondering, he locked onto a target.
The Essence of Heaven and Earth could be considered almost equal to Integration Cultivators.
He remembered how Crimson Flame, who was merely a boiler worker, forced those of the Misthaven Cooperative Society with God Transforming abilities to use all their tactics just to barely defeat him.
What’s more crucial is that the entire process of merging paths needs to be completed silently, without alerting other cultivators.
Otherwise, there was a very real risk of preparing a wedding dress for someone else.
Even with Li Fan’s assistance, it might be a bit of a stretch for Tianyang.
Li Fan couldn’t help but think of the three from the Medicine King Sect.
"It’s a pity that the Medicine King True Cauldron needs more time to return," he thought.
While Li Fan was considering where else to procure some support, a mysterious change suddenly commenced within the Spirit Tree Realm.
Now, after Shang Tianci’s relentless efforts, day and night, the Spirit Tree Realm had undergone a significant transformation.
Countless Xuan Huang sceneries embellished different areas of the Spirit Tree Realm. Dense Spiritual Energy connected to the leylines below and reflected upon the Sky Dome above.
It was as though everything was linked as one.
The entire world seemed to be undergoing a wondrous metamorphosis, and the most noticeable beneficiary was of course the Spirit Tree at the center of the world.
In just a short amount of time, the tree, which had already ceased growing, shot up nearly one-third in height.
Its branches and leaves were lush and dripping with vitality, radiating a rare vigor once again.
It seemed as though something had been nurturing within.
Li Fan’s thoughts stirred, and through the Heart of the Spirit Tree, he instantly pinpointed the source of the disturbance.
It was at the center of the Spirit Tree, in the space that originally nurtured the Tree People.
Numerous green dots converged to form a blurry human silhouette.
"What is this..." Li Fan narrowed his eyes, his body flashed, and he appeared nearby.
At this time, the Tree Man Female Clan Chief also arrived.
She looked towards the increasingly distinct figure that was about to materialize, at first stunned, then as though realizing something, she became somewhat excited.
"Master, this is a [Tree Spirit]!" she explained to Li Fan of her own accord.
With the Tree Man Female Clan Chief’s explanation, Li Fan also understood what the so-called [Tree Spirit] really was.
If the Tree People were born from the Spirit Tree and existed as guardians,
then what they were protecting was the Spirit Tree until it developed its own Spirit Wisdom.
Compared to Li Fan forcibly Refining the Heart of the Spirit Tree and seizing it by force, the Tree Spirit was more like the true master of the Spirit Tree Realm.
A body without a shred of covering gradually formed in front of Li Fan.
The aura emanating from it also grew stronger.
In almost an instant, it surpassed Li Fan, who was at the Golden Core Realm.
