Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits-Chapter 236 Wild Thunder Divine Tree

The Divine Thunder Tree was one of the three great Divine Trees in this world, and its trunk, branches, and leaves could all be refined into top-tier Thunder-Attribute Magical Treasures.

The Divine Thunder Tree could only survive in a Fifth Order high-grade Spirit Vein, and its growth required the absorption of the power of Earth-Attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, making it extremely rare in ancient times. Only some of the most elite Ancient Great Schools possessed a few of these trees, which were considered treasures within those schools.

After several great wars in ancient times, those Divine Thunder Trees had been chopped down and exhausted by various powerful forces. Zhao Yu had never seen a leaf of the Divine Thunder Tree while he was in the Great Qian Empire; he had only read descriptions of this Divine Tree in various texts.

Zhao Yu reached out towards a leaf of the Divine Thunder Tree.

Crackle and pop!

The leaf of the Divine Thunder Tree suddenly burst into a bright blue light, causing Zhao Yu's right hand to tingle slightly.

A hint of joy flashed through Zhao Yu's eyes, "What a treasure!"

Although Zhao Yu had not continued with the top-level Body Refinement secret techniques, his physical strength was already comparable to a Body Cultivation practitioner at the Golden Core Great Perfection level.

Moreover, since he was protected by Nascent Soul Level Mana, the leaf of the Divine Thunder Tree was able to shock him, indicating that if the Divine Thunder Tree were refined into a magical treasure, its power would only be stronger.

The difference between a magical treasure and a Spiritual Treasure lies in the spirituality; under normal circumstances, a Spiritual Treasure is far more powerful than a magical treasure.

However, a magical treasure refined from a high-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure like the Divine Thunder Tree, even if it had not become a Spiritual Treasure, would likely be far more powerful than an ordinary Spiritual Treasure.

Zhao Yu carefully dug out the Divine Thunder Tree from that small yellow-earth mountain, used a Seal Spirit Talisman to seal it, and stored it in his storage bag; then, he collected that yellow-earth mountain into another storage bag.

Zhao Yu searched the few corpses, and besides the bones suspected to be from a Divinity Transformation Level Body Cultivation practitioner and the bones of a Taoist, the rest crumbled to dust upon touch and disappeared.

Among the remains of those several Divinity Transformation Cultivators, Zhao Yu also discovered a few fragments of magical treasures; their spirituality had clearly been destroyed during the fierce battle, and over the long years without nourishment, they had lost all spirituality and turned into a pile of scrap.

"White Ghost Emperor, swallow these bones!"

Zhao Yu thought for a moment, then pointed at the Taoist's bones.

Those bones of the Taoist appeared to belong to the owner of this ancient site. Zhao Yu wanted to utilize the power of the Dao Fruit to devour these bones and see if he could gather some information.

White Ghost Emperor opened its mouth wide and swallowed the Taoist's bones in one gulp.

Zhao Yu activated the power of the Dao Fruit to help White Ghost Emperor gradually refine the Taoist's bones.

A hint of joy flashed through Zhao Yu's eyes, "There are memories! The power of the Dao Fruit truly lives up to its name!"

As Zhao Yu's Cultivation Level continuously increased, the power of the Dao Fruit also grew stronger. In the past, the White Ghost Emperor needed to devour a cultivator's soul to obtain their memories, but now it could obtain memories just by devouring bones. Of course, the memories obtained by devouring souls were still the most complete.

"This person was once the first Supreme Elder of the God Transformation Grand Sect, Huang Chenzi, and he was only one step away from ascending to the Spirit Realm at the peak of Divinity Transformation Great Completion."

"Before Huang Chenzi ascended, he was besieged by the ten great sects of the Divinity Transformation level over the Five Great Immortal Charts. The rest of the Divinity Transformation cultivators of the God Transformation Grand Sect were either traveling outside or were designedly killed by others.

Huang Chenzi, outnumbered, eventually perished alongside the cultivators who invaded the God Transformation Grand Sect."

"The Mountain Sect was one of the branches of the God Transformation Grand Sect, and its founding patriarch was once a Supreme Elder of the God Transformation Grand Sect. During the siege by the ten grand Divinity Transformation sects, he was deceived and lured into a secret realm, and by the time he returned, the God Transformation Grand Sect had already been annihilated."

"The origin of the God Transformation Grand Sect actually derives from the Five Elements Sect of the Immortal Realm, and its sect-protecting cultivation technique is named Emperor's Thick Earth Scripture. To cultivate the Emperor's Thick Earth Scripture, one must possess a Heavenly Spirit Root of the Five Elements.

Without the Heavenly Spirit Root of the Five Elements, one must have the Earth Attribute Heavenly Spirit Root, the Wood-Attribute Heavenly Spirit Root, or the Metal-Attribute Heavenly Spirit Root, and must also cultivate a Great Earth Dao Body to practice the Emperor's Thick Earth Scripture."

"The cultivation requirements of the Emperor's Thick Earth Scripture are too strict, hence the simplified version known as the Mountain Sutra."

"In fact, the Emperor's Thick Earth Scripture is also a simplified cultivation path. The true sect-protecting scripture of the Five Elements Sect is named the Five Elements Heavenly Scripture and can only be cultivated by cultivators who possess a Heavenly Spirit Root of the Five Elements."

"Cultivators naturally possessing a Heavenly Spirit Root of the Five Elements are likely only to be found among the children of immortals, given that kind of talent."

"Emperor's Thick Earth Scripture! Found it! This person truly was the first Supreme Elder of the God Transformation Grand Sect, as he remembered the Emperor's Thick Earth Scripture explicitly and clearly. Moreover, his memory of the Emperor's Thick Earth Scripture even pointed directly to the Mahayana Realm!"

Zhao Yu surveyed Huang Chenzi's memories, a flash of delight passing through his eyes.

In this realm, the limit was the God Transformation Realm, and once a cultivator reached the peak of Divinity Transformation Great Completion, they could ascend to the Spirit Realm. Therefore, in this realm, any cultivation technique that could take one to the peak of Divinity Transformation Great Completion was considered the apex of cultivation techniques.

The God Transformation Grand Sect was indeed a lineage left behind by immortals, hence possessing cultivation techniques that pointed directly to the Mahayana stage.

The Mountain Sutra was a simplified version of the Emperor's Thick Earth Scripture and could at most lead one to cultivate up to the level of Divinity Transformation Great Completion. Unless Zhao Yu was willing to continue deducing the cultivation technique of the Return to Void Realm on his own, the Mountain Sutra could only take him up to Divinity Transformation Great Completion.

"The grand array that enveloped the God Transformation Grand Sect had already been nearly destroyed by Huang Chenzi, who mobilized all his power."

"Apart from the Five Great Immortal Charts, the most valuable treasure of the God Transformation Grand Sect was its sect-protecting treasure, the Emperor's Seal. Originally, the Emperor's Seal was destroyed by the lore magical treasure Thunder Wood Dragon Stake used by the Green Wood Immortal, along with several Great Divinity Transformation cultivators' spiritual treasures.

The small yellow-brown hill beneath the Wild Thunder Divine Tree was actually the once grand treasure, the Emperor's Seal of the God Transformation Grand Sect."

"Found it! The grand array of the God Transformation Grand Sect is named the Mountain Earth Magnetism Chong Yuan Xuan Guang Crushing Great Array, which is a fifth-order high-grade array capable of suppressing God Transformation cultivators." Find adventures on novelbuddy.com

"When the ten great God Transformation sects besieged the God Transformation Grand Sect, they first destroyed most of its spiritual power nodes using an inside man, followed by stealth attacks to break more of the major array hubs, eventually enabling them to invade the God Transformation Grand Sect.

Without an inside man, even ten united God Transformation sects couldn't have breached the God Transformation Grand Sect."

Zhao Yu's eyes gleamed with wild joy again, If the Mountain Earth Magnetism Chong Yuan Xuan Guang Crushing Great Array could be successfully deployed, even if God Transformation cultivators attacked, without an inside man, they wouldn't be able to break the array.

For an ancient great sect with profound foundations like the God Transformation Grand Sect, without a traitor, even ten God Transformation great sects attacking together couldn't break their sect gates.

However, the presence of traitors within major forces was inevitable, and Zhao Yu's Tianli Immortal City had many spies from various forces planted within it. Li Xianjiao led a cultivator army called Shadow Mountain specifically tasked with catching and purging traitors, and every year many cultivators were killed by Shadow Mountain.
