Then news of Zhenyuan Immortal King arrived.
"The white tortoise carrying the immortal has already followed me. The next time we meet, I will have an immortal elixir by my side!"
This surprised Yunhua somewhat, but at the same time, she felt it was within expectations.
In the original storyline, Shi Hao encountered the immortal medicine, the White Turtle Carrying Immortal, but how could such a magnificent immortal medicine possibly leave with Shi Hao?
However, the white tortoise carrying the immortal also formed a good relationship with Shi Hao, giving him a few drops of longevity elixir, which helped Shi Hao a lot.
This proves that this immortal herb is not difficult to get along with and is willing to be kind to people.
It's not surprising that Zhenyuan Immortal King came in person this time, and the white tortoise carrying the immortal followed him.
"In the Immortal Ancient Realm, there are also Celestial Trees. Keep an eye out for them and see if you can collect all four!"
"The Celestial Tree from the Immortal Ancient Realm has also followed me!"
"Among the ancient immortals, there are ancient scriptures of the immortal path. Shi Hao obtained one, and I obtained several!"
"A piece of celestial gold has been born, imbued with spiritual energy, and it has already fallen into my hands!"
"Several groups of natives from the Immortal Ancient Kingdom follow me and are willing to serve me. Their strength is quite good in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces."
One message after another came from Zhenyuan Immortal King, which made Yunhua happy.
Sitting at home, treasures fall from the sky. Without doing anything personally, elixirs, scriptures, gold, and troops are all there. But then again, I still need to cultivate my power.
"The Immortal Ancient Realm is about to crack open, revealing countless treasures. Come quickly!" This was the last message from Zhenyuan Immortal King.
Yunhua summoned Meng Tianzheng and told him about the ancient immortals of the Three Thousand Dao States.
Finally, Yunhua troubled Meng Tianzheng again to make a trip to the Three Thousand Dao States and bring back the Immortal Ancient.
The resources inside, such as immortal scriptures, can be directly handed over to him for processing.
If Yunhua were to take it and it ended up in her pocket, she would have to exchange it for battle merits.
Yunhua doesn't care about these things, so giving them to Meng Tianzheng is fine too.
He had only recently entered the realm of True Immortals, and although his realm could already be described as profound, he still needed to accumulate the foundation of immortality.
Most importantly, if someone can do it for her, then Yunhua won't bother running around. Running to the Three Thousand Provinces and back is too tiring.
There is absolutely no problem for a true immortal to take the entire Immortal Ancient City away.
"The Heavenly Tree, the Immortal Medicine of Immortality, the White Tortoise Carrying Immortals, the Immortal Scriptures..." Meng Tianzheng recited these things over and over.
"If this were the Ancient Immortal Realm, these things could create true immortals."
"Unfortunately, it's unknown whether the Celestial Tree will ever be able to restore its original form."
Each immortal herb may emphasize different aspects, such as spirit, magic power, physical body, enlightenment, and so on.
But they all share a common effect: helping people achieve immortality. Otherwise, what would be the point of calling them elixirs of immortality?
Because each immortal herb contains complete immortal laws, if a being can consume the entire immortal herb, it will surely become an immortal.
To consume an entire elixir of immortality is to fully accept the immortal laws contained within it.
Naturally, it would allow one to ascend to immortality.
Of course, this also requires the creature itself to have a certain level of cultivation and meet the conditions.
However, using the elixir of immortality in this way is the most wasteful thing to do, and it will incur divine retribution.
The benefits of repeatedly using a single herb for longevity are far greater than those of consuming it directly.
Furthermore, directly ingesting elixirs of immortality to achieve immortality is a futile endeavor.
Chapter 1233 Celestial Tree
The Celestial Tree was originally a Celestial Immortal Tree of the level of immortal medicine, but it was divided into four parts in ancient times.
What started as the Celestial Immortal Tree has become four Divine Divine Trees. The person who did this is a counterfeit medicine seller.
The person who sold the fake medicine wanted to separate himself and seal each part inside a magic elixir.
His initial goal was the Celestial Tree, so he divided it into four parts.
But later he encountered an even better option, which was the so-called first spiritual root.
He turned around and abandoned the Celestial Tree, which had already been divided into four parts, and then divided the First Spiritual Root into six parts.
Then his body and primordial spirit were also divided into six parts, which entered the six first spiritual roots respectively, recording the myriad paths of heaven and earth and the changes of time.
That's how the story of the four Celestial Trees came about.
On the Celestial Tree, a single Celestial Fruit can instantly transform a cultivator into a Celestial God.
The effect of the Celestial Immortal Tree is similar; a single Celestial Immortal Fruit can enable a cultivator to instantly become an immortal.
At first glance, isn't this a common ability that all immortal elixirs possess?
Why is this celestial tree so weak? Of course, that's not how it works.
If you want to become an immortal directly through other immortal medicines, you have to swallow the whole plant; once you swallow it, it's gone.
But as long as the Celestial Tree is placed there, it will continuously produce Celestial Fruit.
One Heavenly Fruit is equivalent to one True Immortal.
Of course, the time required for the Heavenly Immortal Tree to bear fruit once is quite long.
This is the special ability of the Celestial Immortal Tree, the elixir of immortality.
In terms of helping people achieve immortality, no other elixir of immortality can compare.
As for the other longevity elixirs, those are areas where even the Heavenly Immortal Tree couldn't catch up, no matter how hard it tried.
However, there are extremely hidden dangers to achieving immortality by consuming the Heavenly Immortal Fruit.
It's certain that their strength is weak; they're at the bottom of the True Immortal ranks, and they don't even reach the normal level of a True Immortal.
In the original storyline, when Shi Hao was an eighth-generation immortal in the mortal realm, he could easily kill immortals from other realms.
However, if it were to face a True Immortal who had ascended to immortality by consuming the Celestial Fruit, it would probably be able to slaughter them in four or five lifetimes, or even earlier...
It's one thing to be weak, but you've already consumed the Celestial Fruit, which proves that you definitely don't have the ability to become an immortal on your own.
Furthermore, even the most powerful immortals are utterly superior in the realm of humanity.
Even a remnant immortal, in his current arrogant state, still managed to slaughter supreme beings indiscriminately; he only encountered Shi Hao later on.
It won't be affected by human emotions, only by divine influence.
You can become an immortal by consuming the Celestial Fruit, but the hardest thing to accept is that you can no longer improve.
Aside from practicing some secret techniques, there's no progress in cultivation level. This is extremely frustrating.
You might not feel any concern if you don't see any progress in the first day or two after taking the Celestial Fruit.
But after endless years, whatever level you were at back then, you will still be at the same level now, without the slightest change.
One by one, individuals, like ants, grow up, surpass you, and beat you down.
That feeling was quite unpleasant. However, for most people, if it can help them achieve immortality, what more could they ask for? So Yunhua had an idea.
“The Celestial Tree…” Yunhua murmured to herself, looking at Meng Tianzheng.
"Brother Meng, after you return from the Three Thousand Provinces, we may need to trouble you to visit a few places."
"What is it?" Meng Tianzheng asked. "If there is anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask. I will definitely refuse."
"Go and find the rest of the Celestial Trees," Yunhua said earnestly.
“I know where the other Celestial Trees are. Once I find all four, we can combine them and transform them into Celestial Immortal Trees.”
A sharp glint flashed in Meng Tianzheng's eyes. "Fellow Daoist, do you know the whereabouts of the other Heavenly Immortal Trees?"
“I know the whereabouts of the three Celestial Trees. As for the fourth one…”
Yunhua pondered for a moment and said, "I can only deduce its location after all three plants have gathered."
The first three plants have precise locations in the original storyline. Only the fourth plant is not specifically mentioned.
After acquiring three Celestial Trees, Shi Hao, relying on the causal connection, used his supreme magical power to seize the fourth Celestial Tree from the endless void.
Then the four trees merged into one, and the Celestial Tree reappeared in the world.
There are speculations that a celestial tree may have fallen into another realm, or that it has become a treasure in some forbidden zone.
There's even a claim that it's in the Immortal Realm. That makes the scope much broader.
However, if you really want to investigate, it's not a big problem.
“Alright, leave this matter to me. Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will definitely bring back Immortal Ancient.” Meng Tianzheng assured him.
"By the way, fellow Daoist, do you need me to take your successor back to the Boundless Heaven?"
Yunhua shook her head, "No need, let him go on his own."
“You can go and see him. He has already embarked on the path of using his own body as a seed. By the time the Immortal Ancient Realm completely collapses, he should also be at the Heavenly God Realm.”
In the original storyline, when Shi Hao left the Immortal Ancient Realm, it was still within the Sacred Sacrifice Domain, but things are naturally different now.
At the same time, the realm of the characters was already ahead of the original storyline, so it is normal for them to break through and surpass it at this time.
Meng Tianzheng's eyes were deep. "The Celestial God Realm means facing the most crucial transformation."
"I'll go see him. I'm going now."
After Meng Tianzheng finished speaking, he disappeared and reappeared in the Three Thousand Provinces.
For a true immortal, the three thousand Dao states can be seen from the Boundless Heaven, just a step away.
If it were the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths of the Immortal Ancient Era, it would be much larger, and its laws would be more solid, but the Chaotic Ancient Era would not be affected.
"Celestial Tree, Celestial Fruit." As Meng Tianzheng left, Yunhua also fell into other thoughts.
The side effects of the Heavenly Immortal Fruit were truly unsatisfactory to him; the side effects were too severe.
It doesn't matter if you're a little weak after consuming the Celestial Fruit; if you continue cultivating, you'll eventually raise your cultivation level.
But if you can't make any progress, it's very disheartening. An idea popped into Yunhua's mind.
"If the Celestial Fruit has such side effects, what about the Celestial Pill?"
The Celestial Fruit is clearly prepared for those who lack the ability to become immortals on their own.
For example, a certain powerful figure who rose from the mortal realm against all odds, is invincible and immortal.
However, his relatives and friends were not as talented as him and could not enter the path of immortality. They could only grow old slowly in the mortal world.
At times like these, the Heavenly Fruit is needed. It's like the saying, "When one attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."
Let alone the idea that human cultivators can achieve immortality simply by entering the Immortal Realm and being nourished by longevity substances.
As time goes by, in the Immortal Realm, how many human cultivators can truly achieve immortality and live through countless eras?
Cultivation level is always fundamental. Yunhua also has a certain need for treasures like the Celestial Fruit, especially the Three Pure Ones Body.
The Heavenly Emperor's Calendar is one thing, but those who are familiar with Yunhua are all exceptionally talented, so becoming an immortal shouldn't be a problem for them.
The situation is different in ancient times. To be honest, even with the "Stone King Scripture," it would be very difficult for the people of Stone Village.
The Celestial Fruit is the best choice. However, from Yunhua's perspective, the fact that she cannot improve after taking the Celestial Fruit is unbearable. This side effect must be resolved.
Yunhua's goal is to create as many powerful individuals as possible within this era.
The people of Shicun are his closest relatives, so of course he will give them priority.
Chapter 1234 Capturing the Immortal Ancient
But Yunhua didn't want the people of Shicun to have no hope for the future.
Simply put, Yunhua is rather greedy; she wants both the glorious present and the bright future.
Refining fruit into elixirs might be a good method.
Furthermore, if one could use a single Celestial Fruit to refine several Celestial Pills, wouldn't that be a huge profit?
"Luckily, I know a little bit about everything, so I'm not stumped by alchemy," Yunhua muttered.
His skill in alchemy was not just good, but very high.
