Chapter 1465: 976 Innate Fusang Tree_2

From the beginning of Heaven and Earth to the present, endless years have passed. The Innate Fusang Tree, though it hasn’t transformed, possesses an incredibly profound accumulation, so much so that even Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial would feel inferior. However, it is precisely because of its excessively profound accumulation that it has been unable to transform.

If the Innate Fusang Tree were to transform, it would directly achieve the realm of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial. With such defiance of nature, how could the Heavenly Dao permit it to transform? Therefore, it should rightly remain a tree.

Facing such a situation, not only the Innate Fusang Tree but also the Innate Laurel Tree, the Innate Wutong Wood, the Innate Ginseng Fruit Tree, and the other ten great Prehistoric Spirit Roots of the Primordial Era, all share the same fate.

Their original source is overly profound, so much so that it defies nature to the extreme, being not allowed by the Heavenly Dao to transform.

After all, they are the Ten Great Prehistoric Spirit Roots of the Primordial Era; placed among Magic Treasures, they would be considered Innate Treasures, with an original essence comparable to Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial. For cultivators of the same attributes, these are the most precious treasures.

If the Innate Fusang Tree is willing to give most of its original source to Jiang Hao, then his chances of a successful breakthrough would exceed sixty percent.

If the Innate Fusang Tree is willing to sacrifice itself to help others, giving all of its original source to Jiang Hao, then his breakthrough into a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial would be a sure thing.

Regrettably, even Jiang Chen knows that this is impossible. His visit this time is only in hopes that the Innate Fusang Tree, considering their past relationship, would lend a portion of its original source to Jiang Hao.

Yes, lend!

Considering how valuable Innate Original Source is, how big must Jiang Chen’s face be to expect others to give it away for free? Naturally, it is to be borrowed, to be slowly repaid by Jiang Hao later.

...

Chaos and vastness. Jiang Chen didn’t know how long he had traveled until suddenly, specks of starlight appeared and then, a vast starry sky unfolded before his eyes.

He had reached the Boundless Starry Sky!

Upon arriving at the Boundless Starry Sky, Jiang Chen sped up. In an instant, he crossed a boundlessly distant distance, hurrying from the outer heavens to the Sun Star.

"Star Lord, you have come. Is it for the matter of Jiang Hao’s breakthrough?"

As soon as Jiang Chen reached the Sun Star, the Innate Fusang Tree sensed his arrival and called out to him from afar.

The next moment, a golden Innate Divine Tree appeared before Jiang Chen.

"Senior, long time no see!" Jiang Chen greeted the Innate Fusang Tree politely.

"To say it’s been long is not quite true, just a few hundred years, merely a blink of an eye."

"But to say it hasn’t been long? Back then a mere Immortal, now he is the revered Star Lord, the magnitude of change, even for an old being like me, is hard to accept."

Upon seeing Jiang Chen again, the Innate Fusang Tree felt complex emotions. How could it not? In what it perceived as the blink of an eye, the figure whom it once saw as insignificant had become a more powerful existence than itself.

The lord of the Boundless Starry Sky, the master of this entire starry expanse, to him, a deity residing within the star, would have to depend on Jiang Chen in the future.

"Alas, your cultivation speed is too fast, even I, despite being worldly-wise, was so shocked that I was at a loss for words, unable to find the vocabulary to describe it."

Before meeting Jiang Chen, the Innate Fusang Tree had a thousand words to say, but upon actually encountering him, it couldn’t utter a single word, only internally cursing the injustice of Cangtian. Why should his million years of cultivation be surpassed by a youngster of a few hundred years?

The first time the Innate Fusang Tree met Jiang Chen, it never would have thought he could achieve such greatness. Even favoring him back in those days was due to his courage.

He dared to meddle with the corpse of Emperor Di Jun’s son; such a man, if he did not die, was destined for great things. It was with this mentality that the Innate Fusang Tree treated Jiang Chen differently.

But never at that time did it imagine that ’destined for great achievements’ would be this monumental, his accomplishments even surpassing Di Jun...

To reshape the starry sky, even in its wildest dreams, the Innate Fusang Tree never imagined that Jiang Chen could reach this step.

The situation is more exaggerated than before; it used to be Jiang Chen who needed him, but now it is he who needs Jiang Chen. The situation has changed too quickly, too quickly for him to react.

"All luck, just luck!"

Jiang Chen couldn’t brag about himself in front of the Innate Fusang Tree, so he could only humbly say.

"What you have done cannot simply be chalked up to ’luck’." Smiling and shaking his head, the Innate Fusang Tree did not delve further into this matter but instead took out a golden tree branch and said to Jiang Chen, "I already know your purpose here."

"This breakthrough attempt by Jiang Hao was completely unprepared, and failure was inevitable."

"However, due to my old acquaintance with Flame Emperor and the fact that I watched Jiang Hao grow up, who has always been respectful to me, I, as an elder, cannot show no sign of gesture on the day of his breakthrough."

"This branch is transformed from my main trunk, containing my innate original source. It could compensate for about five million years of Jiang Hao’s arduous cultivation, enough to make up for his deficiencies."

"While five million years of cultivation might not enable him to successfully step into the realm of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, it can allow him to perfectly enter the realm of Great Divine Transcendents without any flaws and lay a solid foundation for his second transcendence."

While speaking, the Innate Fusang Tree handed the golden trunk to Jiang Chen.

The golden trunk, entwined with Sun True Fire, nurtured a dense original source within it, radiating myriad rays of light, making it resemble a sun.

"Jiang Chen thanks the ancient predecessor."

Upon receiving the piece of Innate Fusang Wood, Jiang Chen respectfully bowed.

Speaking of five million years of cultivation, it was not just any ordinary Taoist Master’s five million years, but that of a Great Divine Transcendent, making this gift extremely significant.

However, these were still not enough; five million years of cultivation could only ensure that Jiang Hao wouldn’t retain any issues after a failed breakthrough, but could not guarantee his successful breakthrough.

Furthermore, a fully prepared breakthrough as a Quasi-Saint, the deeper the foundation, even if it ends in failure, the greater the benefits obtained from the attempt.

Great Divine Transcendents are divided into three levels: ordinary level, Sub-Saint level, and ultimate Saint level. Ordinary Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial partially transforms to Primordial Chaos. For Sub-Saints, either the spirit or the body must fully transform to Primordial Chaos.

The ultimate Saints are always ready to attain the realm of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

At the same level of Quasi-Saint fully achieved, and even with the same failed breakthrough, some are just ordinary Great Divine Transcendents, whereas others become Sub-Saints; this is the difference whether their foundation is deep or not.

The more preparation, the richer the foundation, the higher the success rate of the breakthrough, and after failure, the more parts of the body transform to Primordial Chaos, possibly even achieving full transformation in one step and entering the Sub-Saint realm.

As for Jiang Hao, breaking through to become a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial is deemed nearly impossible, a fact well known to all.

And now, what Jiang Chen and others are doing is merely striving for him to enter the Sub-Saint realm directly after a failed attempt, or become the strongest among ordinary Great Divine Transcendents.

Jiang Hao was underprepared; if others don’t help him, even if he becomes a Great Divine Transcendent, he would only be at the very bottom. Moreover, an aimless breakthrough could even shake his foundation, affecting subsequent breakthroughs.

"Five million years not enough? Don’t be too greedy, this old tree giving out five million years of cultivation is already a benevolent act."

Although Jiang Chen did not speak, the Innate Fusang Tree guessed what he was about to say just from his expression and couldn’t help but snort coldly.

"You jest, senior, how could I let you make a sacrifice without compensation? Our Human Race has its compensations," Jiang Chen said, not upset but instead speaking in a pleasing tone.

To tell the truth, the relationship between the Innate Fusang Tree and the Human Race was one of cooperation. Being able to give five million years of cultivation gratuitously was not just meaningful but extremely so.

Anyone who heard of this event would give him a thumbs-up, and even Jiang Hao, after this event, would greet the Innate Fusang Tree with the respect due to a disciple.
