Chapter 1252 Eye-Opening

Buyunji seemed to see through the surprise on Zhang Xuan's face, and said, "Our Broken World is, after all, just a gathering place for some scattered cultivators. Compared with the great forces with deep foundations in the Thirty-three Heavenly Rivers, the gap is simply too great to be measured. Each of the thirty-three Heavenly Rivers is connected to the mysterious Origin Dao Sea. The Origin Dao Sea will give birth to the corresponding Origin Dao Spiritual Items every once in a while. For example, the Lingyun Heavenly River Wood Dao Yun of the Lingyun Xianzong, an inland force, can give birth to the Hunyuan Dao Fruit. This Hunyuan Dao Fruit has a magical effect that is difficult to describe in words for the great powers of Lianxu and Heti."

"Hunyuan Dao Fruit? What is Hunyuan Dao Fruit?"

"After advancing to the stage of refining the void, the cultivator can open the gate of life, ignite the life fire, and gush out the famous spring. At the same time, the origin tree will grow in the body. When the origin tree bears the first origin fruit, it means entering the early stage of refining the void. The divine power of the Tao generated by this origin fruit can transcend the constraints of the external Tao cause and effect, which is the real control of the divine power of the Tao. If a great cultivator of the void is lucky enough to take the Hunyuan Tao fruit, his origin tree will be able to bear 2-3 more fruits. In this way, it is very likely that a great cultivator of the void will directly jump from the early stage of refining the void to the middle stage of refining the void, or even the late stage."

Zhang Xuan's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was shocked.

He could never have imagined that the Dragon Ridge Divine Realm actually hid such a miraculous artifact that could enable an early stage Void Refinement cultivator to achieve such a huge leap forward.

This Hunyuan Dao Fruit has such miraculous effects on the cultivators of the Lianxu realm, and its preciousness is unimaginable for the cultivators of the Huashen realm.

However, Zhang Xuan quickly suppressed his inner surprise, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he asked: "When we are in the state of transformation, can't we master the divine power of the Tao? Even some Yuanying cultivators can use spiritual treasures to drive the divine power of the Tao. What is the difference between the divine power of the origin of the Dao fruit of the Lianxu Great Power and the divine power of the transformation level?"

Zhang Xuan really knew very little about the deep common sense of the world of immortal cultivation.

After all, he was born in a small world, and his knowledge was really limited compared to Bu Yunji and the other two who had been wandering in the Dragon Ridge Divine Realm.

But Bu Yunji and Chu Xinyu did not look down on Zhang Xuan at all because he raised these questions.

Bu Yunji patiently explained, "It is true that a cultivator at the Spiritualization Stage can activate the divine power of the Dao. However, the divine power of the Dao activated by the Spiritualization Stage is essentially just borrowing the power of heaven and earth for their own use, and they are not truly their own. Once a cultivator at the Void Stage opens up an inner space and produces the original Dao fruit on the original divine tree in the inner space, it means that he has completely mastered the divine power of the Dao. The divine power of the Dao borrowed by the Spiritualization Stage is completely different from that of heaven and earth, and they are completely incomparable."

After Buyunji's explanation, Zhang Xuan suddenly understood and gained a new understanding of the subtlety of the magical powers of the Dao possessed by the great Lianxu master.

No wonder that great Lianxu master could break the boundary membrane with just one palm and kill more than 10 Shenhua monks in an instant.

It turns out that there is such a huge gap between the Taoist magical powers mastered by the Spirit Transformation Realm and those mastered by the Void Refining Realm.

In front of the great masters of the Lianxu realm, the Shenhua cultivators are really like ants.

Buyunji paused and continued, "There are many extremely precious natural treasures like the Hunyuan Fruit in the thirty-three heavenly rivers, but they will only circulate within the thirty-three heavenly rivers and will never flow out, let alone fall into the hands of us casual cultivators. Even if some rare spiritual treasures occasionally flow out, their prices are ridiculously high and are definitely not affordable for casual cultivators like us."

“This is why the thirty-three Tianhe forces can dominate the entire Dragon Ridge Divine Realm, while our independent cultivator forces can only huddle in a corner and barely eat leftovers.” Bu Yunji shook his head helplessly, his tone full of emotion.

Zhang Xuan frowned slightly and asked, "I just heard from the Lord of the World that the Dragon Spine Divine Realm might recruit outside cultivators or allow other forces to enter. Is this true?"

"That's true. Once you join the Dragon Spine Palace, you will be able to obtain support from many cultivation resources, such as high-level spiritual crystals, rare spiritual materials, and the opportunity to enter some mysterious cultivation sites. Moreover, in the Dragon Spine Palace, you can access more advanced cultivation manuals and receive guidance from senior masters, which is a great help for cultivation. However, correspondingly, you also have to bear many responsibilities, obey the Dragon Spine Palace's dispatches, and participate in various tasks. If you want to join the Dragon Spine Palace, the requirements are extremely high."

“What are the requirements?”

“For example, cultivators in the middle stage of the Refinement Realm who are less than ten thousand years old can apply to join, but they must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao and be loyal to the Dragon Spine Divine Realm for a thousand years. If a cultivator who has not yet reached the middle stage of the Refinement Realm is younger, and is less than a thousand years old, or a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of the Spiritualization Realm who is less than a hundred years old, they also have the opportunity to join the Dragon Spine Divine Realm’s Feathered God Guards and be responsible for protecting the safety of the Dragon Spine Palace.” Bu Yunji explained in detail.

After listening to this, Zhang Xuan began to think secretly in his heart.

With his current cultivation level of the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, there is still a long way to go before he can meet the requirements to join the Dragon Ridge Palace.

"Less than a hundred years old at the Great Perfection of Spiritualization, less than a thousand years old at the initial stage of Void Refining? I'm afraid there are very few such people."

"Of course there are very few, at least in our world of independent cultivators, they are extremely rare. Even if there are some, they will be recruited by the major independent cultivator forces and become the overlords of one side. Few people are willing to be a Feather God Guard and be controlled by others."

"Then it seems that the hope for independent cultivators to join the Dragon Ridge Palace is slim..."

"If you are a genius who is proficient in all arts, you can also join through other channels. For example, the Dragon Spine Palace has a weapon refining guild, an alchemy guild, and a talisman making guild. If you can reach the sixth level in one of the Hundred Arts, you can join the guild. After joining the guild, you can become a guest of the guild and join the Dragon Spine Palace through this channel."

Zhang Xuan was surprised and said, "The Hundred Arts must reach the sixth level, alchemy must produce a sixth-level elixir, talismans must produce a sixth-level talisman, and weapon refining must produce a heavenly spiritual treasure. The requirements of the Dragon Ridge Temple are quite high."

"Yes, for us outsiders, their requirements are simply unattainable. However, there are more advanced treasures and various rich resources in the thirty-three heavenly rivers. The Hunyuan Dao Fruit I just mentioned is just one of them. In addition, there are various martial arts inheritances, elixirs, spiritual objects, etc., which are beyond the reach of us outsiders." Bu Yunji said.

Zhang Xuan was even more moved after hearing this.

He lived in a small world, and originally thought that the sixth-order spiritual veins for the independent cultivators in the boundless void were already very good conditions for cultivation. However, when he heard about the cultivation conditions for the cultivators in the thirty-three celestial rivers, he found that they were even more enviable.
