Vol 5 Chapter 6: Difficult to Send Off Buddha

“What happened…”

Not only did the Mountain God sense it, but Fang Wuming, who was not far from Lin Jing’s cultivation mountain peak, also felt the change in the spiritual energy of the Heaven and Earth here. He perceived that this vast spiritual energy was converging rapidly toward a certain location.

And that location was Lin Jing’s seclusion spot.

“Is he about to breakthrough Nascent Soul Transformation?? Such a huge commotion!” Fang Wuming’s heart stirred. When he broke through Nascent Soul Transformation, the noise wasn’t even one-tenth this loud! No wonder this ruthless guy, who could defeat him despite just having the Nascent Soul stage, was so formidable.

However, with such a massive disturbance, Fang Wuming was quite worried that it might disturb the Mountain God and cause displeasure. Fortunately, after a long time, the Mountain God showed no reaction…

“Such a pity, still a bit short!”

After an unknown amount of time, the Pine Leaf Mouse stopped absorbing the Heaven and Earth’s plant spiritual energy because this quality of spiritual energy was no longer sufficient to enhance its “Emperor Qing’s Longevity Technique.” In the end, “Emperor Qing’s Longevity Technique” was just one step away from reaching the sixth layer. But this step made Lin Jing and the Pine Leaf Mouse realize that ordinary Heaven and Earth energy was no longer enough;

they would probably need quasi-immortal-grade herbs and plants.

However, in terms of quantity, it shouldn’t require too many—perhaps just one or two plants could help the Pine Leaf Mouse break through this bottleneck.

“Settle…”

Finally, the Pine Leaf Mouse, which had stabilized at the early Nascent Soul Transformation stage, opened its eyes. Its emerald glazed light flickered and flowed within, its expression somewhat strange.

Because with this breakthrough, its Glazed Immortal Eye divine ability had evolved again!!!

The last time the Glazed Immortal Eye evolved was when it condensed the Five Elements Demon Pill to break through the Foundation Establishment stage.

That extremely special Foundation Establishment breakthrough had allowed the Pine Leaf Mouse to synthesize Five Elements materials instead of only plants and herbs.

During the Pine Leaf Mouse’s attempt to breakthrough Nascent Soul, Lin Jing also prepared a similar nurturing plan to stimulate the Glazed Immortal Eye’s evolution again. He provided a Nascent Soul Pill forged using his own longevity blood as the core ingredient, intending to help the Pine Leaf Mouse gain stronger control over “Life Force.”

He hoped that through this method, after breaking through Nascent Soul, the Pine Leaf Mouse could synthesize “living creatures” and perform “life synthesis.”

However, obviously, it failed back then. Apart from synthesizing higher-tier materials, the Glazed Immortal Eye showed no other major changes.

Realizing that “life synthesis” couldn’t be achieved easily, Lin Jing gave up, understanding that “life synthesis” was too unnatural—probably even true immortals could barely accomplish it—so he no longer dared to hope.

But unexpectedly, this time, with only the simple goal of breaking through Nascent Soul Transformation, the Glazed Immortal Eye had a new evolution!

A secondary synthesis!

Now the Glazed Immortal Eye can resynthesize materials that have already been synthesized once, raising their quality. It can turn large amounts of originally low-grade synthesized items into a single, higher-grade synthesis of the same effect, which can be effective even against higher-level cultivators!

“Hey!!!”

Although the Glazed Immortal Eye evolved this time, the Pine Leaf Mouse protested with both hands. Doesn’t this mean its stockpile quantity will shrink again!

“Don’t be greedy for small gains.”

Lin Jing gave the Pine Leaf Mouse a tap with a stick.

The Pine Leaf Mouse hid in the corner, clutching the lump on its head, baring its teeth at Lin Jing.

“You can now easily open a small spatial pocket inside first-tier mutated red leaves. Synthesizing red leaves is also the most convenient resource for opening spatial pockets. If you can raise the quality of the red leaves and further expand the space within, imagine—an immortal-grade red leaf could probably open a space not smaller than Qingzhou.” Lin Jing licked his lips, making the Pine Leaf Mouse’s eyes light up.

“Squeak squeak…” After saying this, it ran off to experiment, wanting to see the current limits of red leaf synthesis and space opening!

It also sensed the spiritual energy, pondering which synthesized item’s quality improvement would be most useful.

Before Yan Wei Mouse broke through Nascent Soul Transformation, the Mountain God was the seventh to condense a Heaven and Earth Primordial Spirit after him.

On the surface, there seemed to be no fire-attribute natural spiritual energy within the Mountain of Lewd Sacrifices, but in reality, it was just hidden deep.

During Dragon Carp’s condensation of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Spirit, it originally intended to absorb some solar energy casually to strengthen the solar flame, using that as the core to breakthrough.

However, during the breakthrough process, as its perception of the natural spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth intensified, it discovered something astonishing.

Beneath the Mountain of Lewd Sacrifices, connecting to the Origin Realm’s earth core, in the deepest core, a terrifying Earth Core Extinguishing Flame was burning fiercely, reaching the level of immortal-grade fire.

At this moment, Dragon Carp finally understood why Fang Wuming said the Mountain God of Lewd Sacrifices possessed battle power comparable to the peak Nascent Soul Transformation stage.

This guy actually controls immortal-grade earth core fire.

In the Tianyuan Realm, besides Dragon Carp, who mastered the Flame Emperor’s divine ability, even the Tongtian Tower master could only temporarily have immortal-grade flame by relying on an immortal pill.

But in this Origin Realm, the Mountain God of Lewd Sacrifices could do this as well. Fang Wuming probably only knew the Mountain God was strong but not why.

Now, Dragon Carp finally understood.

… Dragon Carp felt terrified. If such a Buddhist-like Mountain God, who did not fight for Origin Sources, was this strong, then Sea Spirit Beast and Meteor Spirit Beast must be even more powerful. No wonder one would need a Chaotic Immortal Physique and a perfected demon clan bloodline to counter them.

However, despite feeling scared, Dragon Carp did not let the Mountain God off. Since the Mountain God seemed willing to abide by the realm’s rules, it shamelessly absorbed the power of the Earth Core Immortal Fire, attempting to refine a portion of it to transform its own flame primordial spirit into a solar-earth core flame primordial spirit.

“Damn it, ten again!!!”

Sensing that one of its trump cards, the Earth Core Immortal Fire beneath it, was being triggered, the Mountain God immediately awakened and sensed the movement from Lin Jing’s side!

“Why is it them again? They’re courting death!”

The Mountain God was startled, not because the Earth Core Immortal Fire was triggered and thinking Lin Jing and the others deserved to die. The Earth Core Immortal Fire wasn’t actually its property. As a Mountain God born from Heaven and Earth, it had the ability to mobilize the power of this Earth Core Immortal Fire, but this immortal fire was essentially born from the Origin Realm’s earth core itself.

The Mountain God only thought Lin Jing and the others touching this immortal fire was courting death!

Even for itself, born naturally and intimately connected to the earth, it took tens of thousands of years of bitter cultivation to barely be able to mobilize this immortal fire’s power. So the Mountain God deeply understood how terrifying the Earth Core Immortal Fire was.

It had such a natural advantage, yet controlling the immortal fire was still so difficult. How dare these outsiders, human cultivators, provoke it, not afraid of being burned alive?

If they got burned to death by the Earth Core Immortal Fire, it wouldn’t be its fault.

However, after a long while, the Mountain God felt something was off.

It carefully sensed and suddenly realized that damn it, these people really could mobilize the immortal fire, and their control over the Earth Core Fire was not much worse than its own!

“Damn it…” The Mountain God broke out in cold sweat, feeling like it had encountered filth. It was one thing for the grass spiritual energy within its domain to be absorbed, but how could the Earth Core Immortal Fire beneath it also be absorbed? When would this end?
