#226 - Chapter 226: The End of the Dharma

"What! Primordial Violet Energy?" Hearing the inheritance spirit say that the ultimate reward was Primordial Violet Energy, Lin Changqing's first reaction was disbelief.

He had imagined that the ultimate reward would be a heaven-defying treasure, but he never expected it to be Primordial Violet Energy!

No wonder the inheritance spirit said this was a treasure that even Da Luo Immortals would fight for.

No wonder the inheritance spirit said that in the eyes of some, this was a treasure even more precious than the Stone Monkey's Heavenly Art, after all, it was Primordial Violet Energy!

What is Primordial Violet Energy? A supreme treasure that allows one to attain the Primordial realm and become a Saint!

In the Primordial Era, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was the first to attain the Primordial Dao, achieving the Supreme Great Dao, and then he took in seven disciples, bestowing upon them seven strands of Primordial Violet Energy. Those seven Saints were Tongtian, Yuanshi, Zhunti, Jieyin... They also relied on the seven strands of Primordial Violet Energy to become the strongest group of people in the Primordial world, attaining the Primordial realm and becoming Saints.

Lin Changqing never expected the ultimate reward to be this. At this moment, his breathing was rapid. With Primordial Violet Energy, it was equivalent to having the qualification to aspire to become a Saint!!!

Above Da Luo is the Primordial realm, the Primordial realm is the Saint realm, and to attain the Primordial realm, one must possess Primordial Violet Energy.

In the past, even if Lin Changqing cultivated arduously, he could only reach the Da Luo realm at most, but now, with Primordial Violet Energy, he could attain the Primordial realm and become a Saint.

"Senior, is the ultimate reward really Primordial Violet Energy?" Lin Changqing was still a little disbelieving. He asked the inheritance spirit again.

The inheritance spirit nodded: "Little friend, I have no need to deceive you. The ultimate reward is Primordial Violet Energy. In the beginning, when chaos was split open, there were eight strands of Primordial Violet Energy. Dao Ancestor bestowed seven strands of Primordial Violet Energy to his seven disciples, creating the Seven Saints of the Primordial World. The remaining last strand of Primordial Violet Energy, Dao Lord Hongjun gave to the World Tree, but the World Tree, due to its own limitations, did not become a Saint, so this strand of Violet Energy was left behind."

"For thousands of years, the greatest regret of the myriad realms has been the felling of the World Tree in the late ancient era. The reason I set up the hundredth floor test of the Jade Ladder was to make up for the regret of the World Tree being felled back then, and since you have completed this incredible task, the Primordial Violet Energy left behind by the World Tree should of course be given to you."

As he spoke, the inheritance spirit waved his hand, and a purple gas appeared from his hand, floating towards Lin Changqing. This purple gas carried overwhelming preciousness, carried the primordial aura of chaos, and also had some Great Dao circulation. Unconsciously, Lin Changqing was attracted by this purple gas.

"Inheritor, now that the Primordial Violet Energy has been given to you, I hope that you will take on the task of protecting the World Tree in the future. The World Tree was felled back then, but it also left behind seeds. Next, you must collect the seeds and reproduce the World Tree, and you must accelerate your growth. Remember, when the World Tree reappears in the world, there will be many terrifying existences who will attack the World Tree, and the reason I give you the Primordial Violet Energy is to allow you to achieve the position of Saint and protect the World Tree," the inheritance spirit said to Lin Changqing in a deep voice.

"Senior, please rest assured, protecting the World Tree is my duty," Lin Changqing said without hesitation. On the one hand, you eat people's food and take their things, the ultimate reward is Primordial Violet Energy, and since they have given you this treasure, it is only right to shoulder the task of protecting the World Tree.

On the other hand, Lin Changqing felt that he had too much karma with the World Tree, such as the World Tree fragment in his dantian, and now he had obtained a strand of Primordial Violet Energy from the World Tree. For some reason, Lin Changqing felt that there was a vaguely a game in the future, and he was already deeply involved in it, perhaps he was already bound to the World Tree.

Lin Changqing thought silently in his heart, and then he took the Primordial Violet Energy. As soon as he took it, this purple gas sank into his dantian.

In an instant, his spiritual power seemed to be washed, and many Great Daos appeared behind him.

In this instant, Lin Changqing felt that his spiritual power had undergone a transformation. Although it was still the eleventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, it felt different.

"Is this the effect of Primordial Violet Energy?" Lin Changqing's eyes were filled with joy. It was indeed a supreme treasure, and it showed extraordinary effects as soon as it entered the dantian.

"A major function of Primordial Violet Energy is to enhance a cultivator's foundation and transform a person's spiritual power. Now, the quality of your spiritual power is probably ten times stronger than those of the same realm," said the inheritance spirit.

Lin Changqing nodded. He did feel much stronger than before, but this was not the most important effect of Primordial Violet Energy. As the saying goes, the greatest function of Primordial Violet Energy is the key to becoming a Saint. Without Primordial Violet Energy, dreaming of attaining the Primordial Dao and becoming a Saint is just wishful thinking.

But with Primordial Violet Energy, everything is possible.

Think about it, the strongest in the world are still the Seven Saints of the Primordial World, but in the future, as long as it is possible, Lin Changqing can become the eighth Saint in the world!

Just thinking about it is exciting.

"Senior, I would also like to ask you a question. Why was the World Tree felled by that ancient great power? What is the reason behind this?" Lin Changqing asked. He was really curious, and now that he was on the same boat as the World Tree, if he collected the World Tree fragments in the future and brought the World Tree back to the world, then he would probably be attacked by many powerful enemies. Now he wanted to ask clearly.

"This question..." The inheritance spirit pondered for a while, as if thinking about whether to answer or not, and then he nodded and said, "This involves the most fundamental secrets of the myriad realms, I can't tell you directly, I can tell you a few indirect reasons. First, that ancient great power wanted to fell the World Tree in order to obtain the Primordial Violet Energy of the World Tree, after all, everyone wants to attain the Primordial realm and become a Saint. The second indirect reason is..."

Speaking of this, the inheritance spirit's face was filled with emotion: "Some people want to reopen chaos. Those people are crazy about seeking the Dao, wanting to destroy everything in this world and obtain the true meaning of the Great Dao, so the World Tree has become their primary target. You must know that the World Tree is like the heart of the myriad realms, it provides a large amount of life energy to the earth. With the World Tree, the entire myriad realms and the entire universe will remain forever young and vibrant, but without the World Tree, this world will gradually decline."

"Before the death of the World Tree, the entire myriad realms only had the ancient Primordial Era, and after the World Tree was felled, the universe began to have the ancient era, the medieval era, the near-ancient era, and the current modern era. Every time a period passes, the spiritual power in the universe will greatly decline, and cultivation will be more difficult. The medieval era is not as good as the ancient era, the near-ancient era is not as good as the medieval era, and the present is not as good as the near-ancient era. Why does this happen? It is because the heart of the myriad realms has died, and the spiritual power is gradually being lost and cannot be replenished."

"I even dare to assert that if the World Tree cannot be revived in time, one day it will enter the Dharma Ending Era, when the spiritual power of the entire universe will be cleared, and there will be no more cultivators at that time, and all will become mortals!"

"The entire universe and the myriad realms will no longer be suitable for cultivation!"
