Chapter 2227: Chapter 2225: The Sumeru Precept Chapter 2227: Chapter 2225: The Sumeru Precept “By the way, how is that little ginseng doing now?”

“The Punishing Evil sword shattered its head and destroyed its divine soul power. I never expected that on this Incomplete Continent, someone could comprehend such a complete Sword Dao law. If he had grown up in the Holy Region, who knows what heights he could have reached.”

The man with the mustache shook his head and glanced at Ethan Smith.

“We did our best. If you two young friends hadn't intervened, Sara and I would have surely died there.”

Elder Baker sighed as he spoke.

“Could the gap truly be this immense?”

*Frustrated and unwilling to accept, Ethan clenched his fist tightly. He had started from Earth and worked tirelessly on the path of cultivation for Emily Taylor, yet there were always towering peaks ahead of him, unreachable, forcing him to look up endlessly.*

“Young friend, every mountain has one taller than it. When you stand at the summit, you will only focus on peaks higher than your own, overlooking the countless hills beneath your feet.”

Elder Baker shook his head and said.

“Punishing Evil may indeed be a genius, but he has cultivated for nearly three thousand years. For you to block this sword after just a few hundred years of cultivation is already an achievement worth immense pride.”

The man with the mustache, unusually, refrained from teasing Ethan; he seemed deeply familiar with Punishing Evil's background.

“Punishing Evil's parents were slain by demonic creatures, so his entire cultivation journey has been directed solely at slaying demons and punishing evil. A person with such singular focus can only have incredibly frightening cultivation speed. Ethan, young friend, for you to have cultivated for just a few hundred years, your talent is absolutely no lesser than his. One day, you might even be able to rival your father.”

Elder Baker nodded in agreement.

“Did your Soul Absorption Formation manage to collect the divine soul of the ginseng?”

Ethan suddenly recalled the look the man with the mustache had given him earlier, and he grabbed him by the arm.

“A matter of luck, just luck!”

The man with the mustache clasped his fists humbly, feigning modesty.

“Brother, can you save little ginseng brother?”

Sara leaned in closer, asking miserably with pleading eyes.

“A mere trace of divine soul won't do; its body has been thoroughly shattered. If there were even a fragment of its physical form remaining, maybe we could barely make it like Elder Baker.”

The man with the mustache shook his head vigorously like a rattle drum.

“I have it–save him.”

Ethan retrieved the piece of the ginseng's body he had obtained.

“Are you out of your mind? Let me be blunt: on our path of cultivation, we face heaven's punishment and earth's destruction. The spiritual power within this fragment of the body alone is enough to help you advance several levels, and this remnant soul can even be refined using a secret technique to extract its law–the Life and Death Law! I wouldn't trade this for an Emperor's Device!”

The man with the mustache grumbled endlessly.

“Mustache, give me some face, and I'll share some Ancient Formation Information with you.”

Ethan forced a bitter smile as he spoke.

*He wasn't entirely sure why he wanted to save the little ginseng–maybe it was because of his connections to Sara and Elder Baker.*

*In the Purgatory, he hadn't made a single friend. When teamed up, Dwight Cohen's squad had suddenly ambushed him. Zendaya Reed's extreme jealousy forced her to act cruelly against him, keeping his nerves perpetually taut day after day.*

*Only Sara, upon first meeting him, had given him a petal.*

*And Elder Baker, due to the millennium-old kindness of Ethan's father, had gifted him the Pagoda Tree Shield–offering his sturdiest shield before the Great War began.*

“Still not enough!”

The man with the mustache shook his head vigorously like a rattle drum.

“The Divine Destiny Nine Diagrams! I'll introduce you to a Formation Master who once comprehended the Divine Destiny Nine Diagrams and even used them to save my life.”

Ethan suddenly thought of Heath Perez, the array genius.

“The Divine Destiny Nine Diagrams! Are you serious?”

The man with the mustache's eyes widened in disbelief. This was approaching the realm of Formation Dao.

The myriad paths of the world lead to the same destination.

There is a Dao in pills, a Dao in swordsmanship, and the art of formations has its Dao as well.

“Fine! I agree!”

The man with the mustache agreed readily and enthusiastically.

He swiftly took the ginseng fragment from Ethan, then pulled out a small bottle.

After lifting its seal, a trace of divine sense entered the fragment of ginseng.

Soon, the ginseng turned into a baby boy.

However, his complexion was abnormally pale, and his skin appeared somewhat parched.

“This trace of divine soul is far too feeble. If its divine soul power were stronger, such a treasure infused with the understanding of laws would uncontrollably attract the vital energy of heaven and earth. As it stands now, its life force is continuously waning; it will probably survive no more than a few decades.”

The man with the mustache shook his head, unable to comprehend Ethan's reasoning.

*What he could surmise, though, was that Ethan owed great debts to Elder Baker and Sara; otherwise, he wouldn't have done this.*

Ethan's mind suddenly stirred–he remembered the Soul Nightmare Heart Skill.

*The skill from Satan's techniques was specifically designed for divine souls, offering immense benefits when dealing with damaged ones.*

Without hesitation, he jumped into action, channeling divine soul power into little ginseng's Sea of Knowledge.

The chubby baby stared at him curiously.

“Don't resist, little fatty. Follow my heart technique and circulate its power.”

Ethan guided little ginseng through the Soul Nightmare Heart Skill's circulation process. Even he wasn't certain whether this method would work.

One cycle, two cycles…

*No one knew how much time had passed.* Suddenly, the baby emitted a surge of divine consciousness absorption power.

And as time went on, the absorption power grew increasingly ferocious.

Ethan acted quickly, retracting his divine consciousness back to his own Sea of Knowledge.

He then released several imprisoned Monster Divine Souls from his Spatial Ring. Before the souls could react, they were devoured by little ginseng in an instant.

“It actually worked!”

*Ethan felt immense joy upon seeing that little ginseng's divine consciousness absorption power showed no signs of decreasing. Without hesitation, he released eighty percent of his imprisoned Monster Divine Souls, all of which were rapidly absorbed by little ginseng in an instant.*

“Hmm!”

The man with the mustache suddenly let out a sound of surprise.

“Old Smith, what did you do? The little ginseng's soul seems to have grown stronger!”

“I happened to have a divine soul restoration technique and tested it out; it seems to have some effect on him!”

*Seeing that the Soul Nightmare Heart Skill worked for little ginseng, Ethan's heart surged with excitement.*

“Holy crap, if that's the case, that's a massive profit! Once the divine consciousness recovers enough, all we'll need is sufficient vital energy, and its body can naturally regenerate–doesn't that mean an endless supply of ginseng to eat?!”

The man with the mustache was overjoyed, his face lighting up with excitement.

“No way!”

The Water Fairy Lady glared venomously at the man with the mustache, standing protectively over the sleeping baby boy.

“Ethan, we were originally planning to find a place to retreat into seclusion, but now, if you can save little ginseng, would you mind if we follow you instead?”

Elder Baker hesitated before speaking.

Ethan nodded; saving little ginseng was his goal from the very beginning, and now that he had found a way, he was determined to see it through.

“Are you asking to die? That old man may not be of much use, but this little girl and the baby fatty are practically covered head to toe in treasures. If you bring them out of Purgatory, the streets will be swarming with demonic creatures and cultivators trying to kill you all.”

The man with the mustache snapped irritably.

“No problem, Ethan; take this–it's the Sumeru Realm.”

Elder Baker handed Ethan a ring engraved with an ancient dragon. As soon as Ethan touched it, he felt its weight and solidity.

Ethan's mind stirred, and he entered the vast expanse of the Sumeru Space contained within the ring.
