Chapter 548: Chapter 542: Refining the Reincarnation Flower [Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets]_1

Tianpeng, with the help of the Chaos Bell, had already comprehended the Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Decision and obtained the legacy.

Moreover, because of the assistance from the Chaos Bell, he found it easier to understand the Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Decision.

After all, it was imprinted into his mind. In just an instant, he had cultivated it to the Small Achievement Realm.

Tianpeng was overjoyed and was about to finish his comprehension. However, Sha Chen rebuked, "Don’t be complacent; cultivate and comprehend properly. Since this Cultivation Technique has chosen you, you are the fated one. Comprehend it well."

"If you can understand it to a certain realm, I estimate that by then, your strength will be ten or even a hundred times greater than it is now."

Tianpeng immediately guarded his original heart and continued his comprehension.

He understood that Sha Chen was looking out for his best interests. There were not many opportunities to cultivate and comprehend in the Flowing Sand River, and the initial comprehension of a Cultivation Technique was the best time to do so.

If he missed it, the next time he wished to continue his cultivation, it would be far less effective, yielding half the results for twice the effort.

Sha Chen then awoke. He had finished reading the contents of the heavenly book, and this Cultivation Technique was essentially his now.

But unlike before, he did not go on to practice this Body Tempering Decision, but instead, memorized it.

If his followers wanted to practice it, he would pass it on to them.

As for himself, there was no need to cultivate this Body Tempering Decision. He was not of a demonic body, and cultivating it would ultimately be somewhat lacking.

Moreover, the ultimate end of this Body Tempering Decision was most likely the Great Perfection of the Primeval Chaos Law Body, and his physical body had already reached this realm. Continuing to cultivate would only be a waste of time.

Therefore, it was better to spend his efforts on improving his mana cultivation.

There was no longer any enemy interference outside. Although he had offended Saint Zhunti by refusing him entry, Sha Chen was able to set his mind at ease.

He also became more certain that ordinary Saints indeed could not enter the Flowing Sand River Cave.

With this, he felt much more reassured.

He then began to inventory his gains, taking out the Purple Gold Bell to refine. It was merely an ordinary Innate Spirit Treasure. While others might consider it a divine artifact, to him, it was nothing special.

He planned to give it to his followers later. Perhaps it would look good worn around Chang E’s waist.

Then there was the Spirit Communicating Tree, an Innate Spiritual Root that could house the soul and provide a wood-based body. Those with a wood-based body could communicate through the Spirit Communicating Tree, no matter the distance.

It was said that the Spirit Communicating Tree was the transformation of the Ancestral Witch Ju Mang’s body after death.

Whether that was true remained unknown. However, it was conceivable that for those who cultivated wood-based energy, the Spirit Communicating Tree would enable their cultivation to progress by leaps and bounds.

Even just placing the Spirit Communicating Tree within the Innate Earth made Sha Chen feel as if the elixirs within were being nourished, growing even better.

In addition, with the Spirit Communicating Tree, he could let his followers each embed a part of their souls within it. Even if a follower’s body and path were destroyed, they could still get a glimmer of a chance for reincarnation here.

They wouldn’t be truly annihilated in both body and soul.

Although the Spirit Communicating Tree couldn’t actually bring the dead back to life, it did provide a backup option.

And for those with a wood-based constitution, the Spirit Communicating Tree was simply a divine tree, incredibly useful.

Sha Chen was not of a wood-based constitution, but he possessed the Great Divine Power of Pushing Effort Over Blood, which was greatly beneficial for healing.

Comprehending this Divine Power beneath the Spirit Communicating Tree, he could bring it to the Great Accomplishment or even Great Perfection.

If he truly comprehended it to Great Perfection, he estimated that he could completely heal the previous injuries of the Nine-winged Mosquito Man in one go.

Sha Chen himself also implanted a part of his soul into the Spirit Communicating Tree, as a fallback for himself.

After that, there was the Reincarnation Flower.

This was truly an elixir capable of bringing the dead back to life, its efficacy defying the heavens, barely inferior to elixirs of immortality.

However, the Reincarnation Flower differed from elixirs of immortality. It was tremendously helpful for healing soul injuries.

Most of the injured were physically harmed, with very few sustaining soul damage.

Throughout history, if someone’s soul was harmed, it was equivalent to being crippled. There was a high possibility they would never recover to their peak, or even risk soul damage, an incomplete foundation, and eventual perishment.

Soul damage can also affect tribulation transcendence, and at a certain realm of cultivation, one must undergo this tribulation.

Without a complete soul, one would surely fail the tribulation, resulting in death and the dissipation of their Dao.

Elixirs of immortality could bring someone back to life, even reconstructing a physical body if it was destroyed. The Reincarnation Flower, on the other hand, could recreate a complete spirit even from a soul with only fragments of memory left.

Protecting a fragment of the spirit from extinction allows one to be reborn on the path of reincarnation.

At the same time, it could also make a person’s spirit whole and free from control, which could be considered a perfect healing for the spirit.

Sha Chen’s eyes flickered. He had already thought of how to use the Reincarnation Flower.

For someone like Jin Chanzi, who is repeatedly reborn, the Reincarnation Flower has the greatest effect, capable of making their spirit whole and restoring their memory.

Sha Chen felt that Saint Zhunti’s actions towards Jin Chanzi largely involved erasing memory, sealing it, or perhaps enhancing Jin Chanzi’s impression of Buddhism. Either way, it targeted the soul.

Therefore, Sha Chen planned to use the Reincarnation Flower for Jin Chanzi, to counteract the deeds of Saint Zhunti.

Beyond these effects, if a person’s soul is intact, consuming it directly can terrifyingly boost the power of the Primordial Spirit.

Sha Chen plucked two petals of the flower and swallowed them, beginning to cultivate his Primordial Spirit and strengthen his soul.

Although his spiritual power was formidable and his spirit had reached the Quasi-Sage Peak, there was no end to this realm.

Sha Chen felt his spirit had not been upgraded or cultivated. It was merely at the lowest tier of his current realm. It had to be increased. Otherwise, the next time he encountered a Saint, a simple psychic attack could throw him off and affect the outcome of the battle. A true powerhouse must be invincible in every aspect. Whether it’s the physical body, mana cultivation, or even the Spiritual Realm, all must be flawless. Otherwise, facing an existence like Donghuang Taiyi, who could use the Chaos Bell, might result in the shattering of the Primordial Spirit. Moreover, if Sha Chen wanted to wield a Magical Tool, his Primordial Spirit had to be powerful. If he wanted to command the Chaos Bell as easily as moving his arm, his Primordial Spirit needed to become strong. Not only that, but he intended to comprehend the Zhou Tian Xingchen Formation and the Twelve Capital Deity Kill Formation. Both Formations were capable of confronting Saints, and Array Arrangement also required a powerful Primordial Spirit. If he wanted to confront a Saint without the support of the Heavenly Dao, Array Arrangement was the most likely option.

Therefore, no matter what, he needed to enhance his Primordial Spirit!

Having consumed two petals of the Reincarnation Flower, Sha Chen’s Primordial Spirit was continuously growing stronger, and he even felt as if his soul had been branded and had become otherworldly.

It was almost as if his soul and body were separating, and his Primordial Spirit seemed to be transcending.

Sha Chen had previously obtained the Nine Nether Purple Orchid, which also strengthened the Primordial Spirit and was likewise an Elixir.

But compared to the Reincarnation Flower, the Nine Nether Purple Orchid was clearly inferior.

After his soul became otherworldly, Sha Chen felt that if he were to use the ’One Qi into Three Pure Ones’ technique, he could definitely form independent entities. The clones produced would be more real and distinctive than those derived from Zhunti’s transformation of Subhuti.

Sha Chen also had several clones. The first was Chen Sha on Jinao Island, who had followed the Golden Spirit Holy Mother in cultivation until now. His cultivation level was already at the pinnacle of the Greater Primordial Golden Immortal, likely approaching that of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Chen Sha’s talent was not lacking. With the Dao Techniques passed down by Sha Chen, his progress in cultivation was naturally swift.

With such a speed of cultivation, he was treated like a cherished treasure on Jinao Island.
