Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 478: Chapter 240: Establishing the Enlightenment Realm Tree, Sources of All Paths and Myself_2

Three thousand feet!

Ten thousand feet!

...

The leaves were like giant stones, the roots like coiling dragons; the Enlightenment Tea Tree seemed to have transformed into an ancient mountain, unbelievably massive, and growing at an astonishing speed every moment.

The disciples of the Immortal Sect were all astonished.

Clearly, the Enlightenment Tea Tree was moving farther and farther away from the Immortal Sect’s location, yet it seemed increasingly clear.

The infinite vitality contained within the green light illuminated the world.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree appeared as though it had transformed into a green great sun, hanging high in the void.

At this moment,

the beings of the True Martial Realm were all shocked. They saw that green great sun, which appeared in the sky out of nowhere, and felt reverence rise in their hearts. Relating it to the previous booming sounds, they couldn’t help but bow down in worship.

One by one, powerful cultivators opened their eyes.

The True Persons of the Purple Mansion Realm and Magic Realm cultivators all surged to the sky. With their extraordinary eyesight, they discerned that the so-called green great sun was indeed an immensely vast giant tree, which exuded rich vitality and cleansed the world.

Every gaze was filled with shock.

At True Profound Mountain, True Man Baishan gazed at the sky in astonishment:

"Hiss! This lad Ning just comes and goes, yet he arrives with such a grand move?"

He recognized it; that giant tree was clearly the Enlightenment Tea Tree from the Seeking Tao Institute, but now it had somehow transformed into this majestic form.

The infinite realm power gathered, and the spiritual qi turned into tides.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree underwent an unprecedented qualitative change. The result of Ning Qi’s twenty years of seclusion materialized here. Various mysterious Dharma Methods nourished its body, causing the tree to further transform and grow every moment.

At some unknown point in time,

the green great sun had long covered all the world’s light, becoming the sole existence.

The giant tree towered into the sky, almost fully occupying the entire void.

By this time,

Even mortal beings could see the true form of the green great sun.

The densely packed roots were like coiling dragons, rooting in the void, the leaves like mountains, the body like a pillar of heaven. Every line was imbued with Tao charm, and various cultivators eagerly desired to comprehend the ultimate truths contained within.

Rich vitality filled the space between heaven and earth, with gentle green light illuminating the world, making people feel physically and mentally refreshed. This scene was destined to be etched in everyone’s minds.

"Realm Lord!"

Countless beings bowed in worship.

Who but the Realm Lord could possess the grandeur for such a deed? Although the purpose of the Realm Lord’s act was unknown, all beings chanted his name, offering their reverence.

Ning Qi sat atop the giant tree, slowly opening his eyes.

His eyes harbored a hint of comfort.

For twenty years, he had pondered a single question—how to gather the wisdom of all beings.

He devised numerous methods, either carving arrays across the world, basing them on the willpower of all beings, or creating a foundational Profound Skill to control everything, but all left him unsatisfied.

One day,

he rarely entered a dream.

He saw a towering divine tree; its leaves were like worlds, and thus inspiration struck.

He ultimately created the current Dharma Method, which he called the Source of All Paths, and its crucial medium was the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

The first step was to transform the Enlightenment Tea Tree into the Enlightenment Realm Tree.

Ning Qi originally intended to name it the World Tree, but there was a profound taboo. It was finally called the Enlightenment Realm Tree.

At this moment,

The Realm Tree had been established, omnipresent and almost occupying the entire True Martial Realm. The palpable pressure left countless beings in awe and breathless, while in the place unseen by the multitudes, the Realm Tree connected with the Spirit Qi of the Sea of Realms, drawing the Spirit Qi from beyond the world. This was vastly more efficient than before.

However, the purification of the Spiritual Qi was not so swift.

Ning Qi slowly stood up.

Surging realm power condensed, transforming into an invisible sword.

Ning Qi wielded the sword, cutting himself. His face turned slightly pale, and a large mass of light flew from his body. This was part of his consciousness and spirit soul, containing his light of enlightenment.

He smiled slightly and slowly pressed this ball of light into the Enlightenment Realm Tree.

This would become the will of the Realm Tree, systematically guiding all beings.

In an instant,

infinite green light burst forth, then immediately restrained.

The already vast Realm Tree further expanded, undergoing incredible transformations. The creatures of the Martial Realm were horrified to see that the dragon-like roots stretched toward the earth, seemingly about to truly embed into the world.

Billions of beings felt tense, as they had no power to resist such a divine tree.

Fortunately,

another change occurred.

The grand divine tree gradually turned invisible. Though all beings saw it rooting into the ground, they could not touch it. Not even the True Persons of the Purple Mansion Realm could do so, as if the Realm Tree had completely fused with the world, becoming one with it, omnipresent yet unseen.

They looked again, and the blue sky and white sun stood clear; there was no towering giant tree to be found.

Yet the world had subtly changed in a way they could not perceive.

Amidst the beings’ amazement,

a grand Tao sound resonated throughout every being’s mind:

"Today, I establish the Enlightenment Realm Tree. Henceforth, all beings in the True Martial Realm may use the power of the Realm Tree to cultivate enlightenment."

As words became reality,

Heavenly thunder roared.

All beings felt a once murky and indistinct connection become clear in an instant. They immediately sensed an enormous presence settled within the world; what else could it be but the divine tree they had seen before?

Yet at this moment,

they clearly perceived the wondrous benefits of the Enlightenment Realm Tree.

They discovered that as long as they focused on meditating upon the location of the Realm Tree, establishing a connection, they could obtain a miraculous power. Consequently, their minds became agile, their enlightenment greatly enhanced, and many problems that typically plagued them were effortlessly solved.

The cultivators were collectively ecstatic.

This state was akin to divine assistance, comparable to continuously ingesting spirit pills and treasure medicines that increased enlightenment, but even better in effect.

Furthermore,

when they circulated their Profound Skills to refine the Spiritual Qi, they found the speed was far too much faster than before.

Compared to before, the difficulty of cultivation had reduced by more than tenfold.

Countless beings were excited and worshiped; this was Supreme merit.

The Enlightenment Realm Tree could allow the beings of the True Martial Realm to reach heights otherwise impossible to attain.

All beings bowed and knelt:

"We thank the Realm Lord for his grace!"

Their hearts surged; they could hardly wait to experience this.

Ning Qi stood with folded hands, gazing down at the world, feeling an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

He slightly curled his lips, then burst into laughter.

With the establishment of the Enlightenment Realm Tree, the foundation for his Supreme Path was laid. This act was indeed a deed of great merit for all beings of the True Martial Realm, but for Ning Qi, it also held Supreme utility.

"In a sense, the Enlightenment Realm Tree is a vast ’network’ covering the True Martial Realm. Through this ’network,’ all beings can cultivate with my enlightenment, enhancing themselves, and in return, all their cultivation achievements, any innovative ideas or realizations, will feed back into the Realm Tree, becoming the resources for my growth."

"One person’s power is limited, but the power of all beings is immensely vast."

"This is the Source of All Paths!"

"This is truly gathering the wisdom of all beings! Maximizing the potential of my heaven-defying enlightenment!"

"Furthermore, the Enlightenment Realm Tree also merges with the world’s Spiritual Qi, facilitating the greatest possible flux of Spiritual Qi from the Sea of Realms, expanding the world. As more cultivators bind their cultivation to the Realm Tree, they will contribute directly to refining the Spiritual Qi of the Sea of Realms, which will grow the world, allowing for more cultivators to be accommodated, creating a positive cycle."

"This is the best of all benefits, a perfect cycle."

Of course.

There is give and take; those who use the power of the Enlightenment Realm Tree for cultivation would no longer have privacy in their practice, as it would be utilized by Ning Qi. But in the end, what you gain and what you lose is up to you to decide, though very few would be unwilling.

Perhaps in the near future, the True Martial Realm could develop with the support of the Enlightenment Realm Tree.

Ning Qi grew increasingly satisfied with his creation.

The Enlightenment Realm Tree perfectly solved the two problems he had pondered previously.

Henceforth, he would no longer be troubled by these questions.

With all beings cultivating for me, such joy is beyond words.
