Chapter 13: Top-Grade Innate Divine Saint Footsteps, Innate Banana Tree

“Indeed, coming to Mount Buzhou was the right decision. If not for this, how could I have gained such tremendous rewards?”

Zhong Yue opened his eyes, his gaze shining brightly, and an unimaginable joy appeared on his face.

He had, of course, sensed the gift of Mount Buzhou.

Originally, his purpose in coming to Mount Buzhou was simply to test whether he could encounter some opportunities.

After all, it was the site of the Heavenly Pillar, the transformed backbone of Pangu, where spiritual roots and treasures were far more abundant than in other places.

Unexpectedly, he had truly stumbled upon an opportunity. The gift from Mount Buzhou was far more valuable than any spiritual root or treasure.

This was because, with this gift, his footsteps had undergone a tremendous transformation.

Before this, Zhong Yue’s footsteps were that of a top-grade innate deity, far, far from reaching the level of an innate divine saint.

Admittedly, by creating the Source Heaven Divine Technique and continuously collecting the origins of the meridians, he too had the potential to undergo a transformation of his footsteps.

But the speed was far too slow. Roughly calculated, he would need at least a million years, traveling through the entire primordial world’s meridians, to have a chance at this transformation.

However, now, with the gift from Mount Buzhou, his transformation had been accelerated, and his footsteps had already successfully reached the level of an innate divine saint.

Moreover, it was not just any innate divine saint, but a top-tier innate divine saint, only a step away from the pinnacle of innate divine saints.

Perhaps this step was as difficult as ascending to heaven, but that was not the key. What truly mattered was the change brought by this transformation of footsteps.

Firstly, his cultivation became much easier. From now on, he would face no more bottlenecks until he reached the quasi-saint realm.

As long as he perfected the five energies within his body, accumulated enough magical power, and caused the three flowers to bloom, he would easily step into the quasi-saint realm.

Secondly, his comprehension of the laws became clearer. The once-clear laws became even clearer, and those obscure paths became easier to understand.

Especially with his reverse-heavenly enlightenment, the effect was even more pronounced. At any moment, he would gain insight, constantly supplementing his shortcomings, making his foundation flawless and the Dao perfect.

In addition to the laws, his absorption of spiritual energy also grew more powerful, and his capacity to contain magical power increased, at least a hundredfold more than before.

Finally, the power of his divine abilities and techniques became far stronger, with the same techniques now affecting more laws than ever before.

Such an astonishing transformation—how could he not be overjoyed?

“Thank you!”

Zhong Yue stood up and bowed respectfully in the direction of Mount Buzhou.

This was truly the grace of imparting the Dao. Although Mount Buzhou had no intelligence, it still deserved his respect.

After the bow, Zhong Yue did not linger but resolutely continued forward.

With the blessings from Mount Buzhou, Zhong Yue felt that his resistance to the will of Pangu had been greatly enhanced. At the very least, he was now capable of flying through the air with no issues.

Years later, Zhong Yue successfully arrived at the core area of Mount Buzhou.

From here on, everything relied on luck.

As he traveled forward, Zhong Yue simultaneously refined his magical power while observing Mount Buzhou’s teachings of the Dao.

As for opportunities, he did not force them; after all, the blessing from Mount Buzhou was already a great opportunity. Other chances would come as they would.

Strangely enough, his luck was quite good. In just a few months, he had successfully found an innate spiritual root.

This spiritual root was called the Biluoguo Tree, a top-grade innate spiritual root. It bloomed for ten thousand years, bore fruit for ten thousand years, and matured in ten thousand years. Once mature, it bore seventy-two spiritual fruits, each containing the Yin and Netherworld laws, capable of nourishing the primordial spirit. Each fruit could increase one’s Dao cultivation by ten thousand years.

Months passed, and one day, Zhong Yue passed a mountain gorge.

Suddenly, he saw the clouds swirling in the mountain, and faint spiritual light shining through, with purple aura wafting.

Upon closer inspection, there was a towering ancient tree standing there.

The tree was a Banana Tree, around a hundred feet tall, its trunk thick and ancient, with chaotic energy flowing around it, as if it had been formed by the passage of time.

Interestingly, this Banana Tree only had four spiritual leaves, each carrying its own law—Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire.

“Innate Banana Tree?”

Zhong Yue gasped, utterly stunned by what he saw.

It was well-known that the Innate Banana Tree was of great significance. It was one of the ten greatest innate spiritual roots.

It bore four spiritual leaves, each with a legendary status in later generations.

Take, for example, the wind-element spiritual leaf. With just one flap, it could send the monkey flying, leaving it dizzy and its body numbed.

And this monkey had cultivated an immortal golden body and reached the level of Great Luo, yet this Banana Tree could cause him such distress. It was clear how formidable the power of this Innate Banana Tree was.

Looking at the Banana Tree, especially seeing the four leaves on it, Zhong Yue was ecstatic.

Without hesitation, he was about to pluck the four leaves.

However, just as he was about to step forward, he stopped.

The Banana Tree before him had clearly not yet matured, and the four leaves were still incomplete. It would be a waste to pluck them now, so he decided to wait a little longer.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhong Yue waved his hand. The Innate Wood Spirit Pearl and the Innate Earth Spirit Pearl flew out.

The spirit pearls floated in the air, and Zhong Yue quickly formed seals with his fingers, taking out the heavenly materials and earth treasures he had collected over the years. He immediately set up the Innate Wutu Great Formation and the Innate Yimu Great Formation.

Although he needed to wait for the Banana Tree to mature, precautions had to be made. After all, if other cultivators discovered it, wouldn’t he be doing all the work for someone else?

Once the formation was set, Zhong Yue sat cross-legged in front of the Banana Tree, quietly waiting for the tree to mature.

Spring passed, autumn arrived, the cold came, and the heat followed. In the blink of an eye, three thousand years had passed.

However, the Banana Tree before him still showed no signs of ripening. It stood there quietly, its four leaves swaying in the wind, spiritual light cascading down, exuding an otherworldly aura.

Seeing this, Zhong Yue patiently continued refining his magical power, honing his primordial spirit and physical body, striving to improve his cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, another three thousand years passed.

On this day, the long-static Banana Tree finally stirred.

Suddenly, a surge of light enveloped the entire tree. Waves of spiritual light emanated from the tree trunk, rushing toward the four spiritual leaves, as if transporting some kind of nourishment.

As time passed, about a thousand years later, the entire Banana Tree began to wither, and even the four spiritual leaves started to wilt.

This sudden change startled Zhong Yue. He thought that something had gone wrong.

Just as he was about to harvest, believing this to be the inevitable decline of the tree, new sprouts began to emerge from the center of the four spiritual leaves at the top of the Banana Tree.

These new sprouts grew extremely quickly, soon forming a massive spiritual leaf.

It seemed as though it had absorbed all the nourishment from the entire Banana Tree to grow. As it became stronger, the tree trunk and the four spiritual leaves withered even more.

In the end, the entire trunk dried up completely, and the four spiritual leaves gradually withered away, leaving only that one new leaf, suspended in the air.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Yue could no longer hold back. He immediately flew toward the tree.

His finger touched the new leaf, and a message appeared in Zhong Yue’s mind.
