Chapter 156 Let's pull off a big heist and head to Nuwa Palace again!
It should be understood that the abundance of cultivation resources in the Three Realms not only affects cultivators in the Three Realms, but also has a significant impact on him.
Just like a whale cannot grow in a pond.
Similarly, if the resources of the Three Realms are greatly reduced, his future cultivation will naturally be hindered.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth degenerates into acquired spiritual energy, but it still has the potential to recover after being transformed through the nodes of the earth's spiritual veins.
However, once spiritual roots and materials degenerate, he doesn't have a treasure like the Qiankun Cauldron that can reverse the innate nature. Even if he did, such a treasure that reverses the acquired nature would likely come at a price. Otherwise, if it could be infinitely transformed, wouldn't the entire prehistoric world be full of innate spiritual roots, and achieving physical sainthood would be an easy thing?
After some deep thought, Zhao Gongming suddenly remembered the method of cultivating hybrid rice in his previous life.
Once a spiritual root of innate quality degenerates, it cannot be cultivated later in life.
Even if the spiritual energy recovers, this process is already completely irreversible.
However, it is not impossible to cultivate an acquired spiritual root that is no less superior than an innate spiritual root by using the approach of hybrid rice.
Of course, this problem also stumped Zhao Gongming.
The growth of ordinary grain crops is traceable, consisting mainly of factors such as environment, energy, sunlight, and nutrients.
However, spiritual roots and immortal herbs are simply too mystical. For example, the origin of innate spiritual roots is a mystery, as they were born before the heavens and earth.
Listen.
The idea that innate spiritual roots existed before Pangu separated heaven and earth is simply too unscientific, considering that at that time, the world was filled with raging chaotic energy.
Although the ultimate goal of science is metaphysics, Zhao Gongming's current scientific knowledge is naturally insufficient to solve these problems.
Of course, everyone has their own expertise, and a name immediately came to mind in a flash of inspiration for Zhao Gongming.
Shennong!
Yes!
Shennong, the Earth Sovereign among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, made indelible contributions to the human race. Not to mention anything else, the Five-Colored Divine Rice alone brought immense benefits to the human race. Moreover, having tasted hundreds of herbs, he was practically a walking encyclopedia of primordial spiritual roots. If he were to take action, he might actually be able to cultivate what he needed.
But soon, Zhao Gongming frowned again.
If he remembered correctly, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and many other sages of the human race, were all trapped in the Fire Cloud Cave, ostensibly to suppress the human race's fortune, but in reality, they were imprisoned.
Moreover, the one who imprisoned the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors was none other than the Taiqing Sage, one of the Six Sages of Heaven.
Without his approval, releasing Shennong would probably not be a simple matter.
"Ding-dong, host's current situation detected. Options activated, please select!"
Option 1: Do nothing and let the spiritual roots in the Three Realms degenerate, resulting in a harsh cultivation environment. Reward: None!
Option 2: Proactively venture into the Fire Cloud Cave to rescue the Earthly Emperor Shennong, cultivate spiritual roots and materials with him in the new environment, and receive the reward: Seabuckthorn Tree Spiritual Root Seeds.
Option 3: Voluntarily go to the Fire Cloud Cave, rescue the Earth Emperor Shennong, and abolish the position of leader of the Taiqing Human Cult. Reward: Chaos Pearl Seal +1.
..................
"this?"
Seeing the three long-unseen options before him, Zhao Gongming was slightly taken aback, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Option one is obviously eliminated.
The spiritual roots in the Three Realms are like plants from a previous life; they are also part of the primordial ecosystem. Once they completely degenerate, the resulting chain reaction is unimaginable. Just like the Great Tribulation after the Journey to the West, why is it the Great Tribulation of the End of Dharma? In addition to the degeneration of spiritual energy, it is naturally closely related to the degeneration of spiritual roots and immortal herbs.
Option 2: Sea buckthorn tree spirit root seeds. Sea buckthorn trees have the function of preventing wind and fixing sand in previous lives. They are extremely drought-resistant and can prevent soil desertification.
The sea buckthorn tree spirit root rewarded by the system has an even more amazing effect. It can grow even in the environment of acquired spiritual energy. Moreover, since it is rooted in the earth veins, it also has the effect of gathering and repairing the earth veins. If it is combined with the earth vein repair method to repair the earth vein nodes, it will naturally be twice as effective.
Option three was the one that most appealed to Zhao Gongming.
The Chaos Pearl seal is increased by 1. This means that as long as this option is completed, even if one has not yet attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, one can directly refine the third layer of the Chaos Pearl's restriction.
Such a supreme treasure of chaos can refine even a single layer of restriction, and the resulting effects are unimaginable.
Of course, in the past, even if the rewards of option three were more generous, Zhao Gongming would not have considered it at all.
After all, the Supreme Sage is the head of the Three Pure Ones and the strongest among the Six Sages of Heaven. You can question his character, but you absolutely cannot question his strength.
Even the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, which his own master claimed could not be broken by anyone other than the Four Saints, could be broken by him single-handedly.
If his position as the leader of the Humanist sect is abolished, it would be tantamount to severing his foundation for enlightenment. The enmity of obstructing the path is something that even the waters of the four seas could not wash away.
However, the current situation is completely different from what it used to be.
During the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, the Three Pure Ones consumed the Pill of the Fallen Saint and were strictly forbidden by the Dao Ancestor to act in the Three Realms, and could only roam the Immortal Realm as Three Corpses.
Even if I were to abolish his position as the leader of the Human Sect, the Supreme Lord would not dare to take action against me. At most, he would send the Three Corpses to target me.
Moreover, in order to break the restrictions of the Fire Cloud Cave and rescue the imprisoned Earth Emperor Shennong, it would naturally be necessary to confront the Supreme Being.
After a moment's thought, Zhao Gongming quickly made his choice.
Of course, after making his choice, Zhao Gongming did not rush to take action.
As the head of the Six Saints, the strength of the Supreme One's Three Corpses is naturally incomparable to that of ordinary Saints. Moreover, the fact that he has obtained the position of the Heavenly Dao Saint and the leader of the Human Sect is an earth-shattering event. Saints are only forbidden to act in the Three Realms, but not in the Chaos Starry Sky. Unless he finishes this job, Zhao will never leave the Earthly Immortal Realm again.
Therefore, it is natural to plan ahead, at the very least, to find a scapegoat to abolish the position of the Supreme Humanist Sect Leader.
Those who can abolish the status of a saintly leader and withstand the karmic consequences are naturally few and far between in the primordial world.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Gongming made up his mind, and in a flash, he disappeared from the spot.
In the chaotic starry sky, before the Nuwa Palace, the Nine Dragons Incense Chariot slowly descended.
Before Zhao Gongming could speak, Jin Feng had already come out.
He smiled and said, "Her Majesty knew that the Emperor was coming, so she specially sent me to greet him. It is truly remarkable that Her Majesty would take such good care of me."
Looking across the entire Three Realms, besides the Emperor, there is probably no other like him!
