Li Mu's figure flashed, stepping out of the Chaos Great Hall and surveying the Chaos Treasure Mansion Space.
Although the space was vast and boundless, with rich Spiritual Qi and a few special spiritual grounds, it appeared desolate at a glance.
Aside from a few scattered Spiritual Plants, there was almost no trace of any spiritual vegetation, and the ground was a faint grayish-brown.
At this moment, the Treasure Mansion Spirit of the Chaos Treasure Mansion—the Seven-Colored Dragon—quietly appeared beside Li Mu, congratulating him joyfully: "Master, congratulations on your recovery from injuries and significant advancement in Cultivation!"
"Mm, you've worked hard these past days!"
Li Mu nodded slightly, his gaze still sweeping around, pondering something.
"Master, after the space was re-refined, many Spiritual Plants have been extinguished.
Should we replant them?" The Treasure Mansion Spirit seemed to sense Li Mu's thoughts and asked in advance.
"Mm! You cooperate with me, evolve the space, and prepare for the growth of various spiritual seeds!" Li Mu's gaze was profound as he slowly nodded, then raised his hand and waved.
A surge of Chaos Power injected into the tianxuan ring on his wrist, and he took out a large pile of spiritual seeds, which transformed into countless fine specks of light, suspended in the air.
Upon hearing this, a trace of solemnity flashed in the Seven-Colored Dragon's eyes, and he nodded readily: "Master, rest assured, the Treasure Mansion will complete it with all its might!"
As his voice fell, the Seven-Colored Dragon's body vibrated, emitting dazzling seven-colored light.
His body gradually expanded, transforming into a giant Dragon phantom, circling overhead.
With his movements, the entire space began to tremble slightly, as if responding to his call.
The Seven-Colored Dragon waved his claws, and countless clouds immediately condensed in the sky.
As the clouds rolled, drizzling spiritual rain fell.
This spiritual rain was not ordinary rainwater, but condensed from pure Spiritual Qi, with every drop containing rich vitality.
The spiritual rain fell on the ground, and the originally grayish-brown soil gradually became moist, emitting a faint spiritual glow.
The barren land seemed to be infused with new life, beginning to burst with vitality.
The Seven-Colored Dragon flicked his Dragon tail, and the Spiritual Qi in the space began to surge violently.
The sky gradually divided into two colors: one half a bright day, the other a deep night sky, with Yin and Yang Qi flowing endlessly within.
At the same time, on the ground, the Five Elements Spiritual Qi also began to clearly separate.
The five attributes of Spiritual Qi—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—each condensed, forming unique areas, and fertile spiritual fields continuously emerged from the soil.
Li Mu nodded, his gaze sweeping over the revitalized space, and he said lightly: "Begin!"
Before his voice faded, Li Mu waved his large hand, scattering billions of high-grade spiritual seeds.
Billions of fine Divine Thought, like silkworm threads, surged from his Sea of Consciousness, intertwining with every suspended spiritual seed.
The Seven-Colored Dragon's massive Dragon body circled in the air, its seven-colored light greatly intensified, and it began to guide various high-grade spiritual seeds of different attributes to fall into their corresponding spiritual fields.
First to fall were a batch of medicine king spirit ginseng seeds.
These seeds were amber-colored throughout, covered with a faint spiritual glow.
As soon as they touched the fertile spiritual field, they quickly took root.
The root system snaked like spiritual snakes, penetrating layers of spiritual soil, absorbing the endless vitality contained within.
In just a short moment, dense tender green shoots emerged on the surface of the spiritual field, and the aroma of medicine permeated the air, making one feel refreshed.
Next, Qingming Sword Bamboo seeds fell like raindrops into the Geng Metal Sword Domain.
These seeds were covered with an outer shell like profound iron, incredibly hard.
The Seven-Colored Dragon waved his Dragon claw, and Geng Metal Sword Qi transformed into countless tiny sword blades, precisely paring away the outer shell.
The exposed bamboo seeds burst forth with a cyan light, quickly taking root in the Sword Domain spiritual land.
Bamboo shoots broke through the soil, their leaves like swords, with sharp edges, emitting crisp sword cries with a gentle tremor.
The sound of tender spiritual seeds breaking through the bamboo was incessant, Sword Qi crisscrossed, and sharp edges were fully revealed.
nine void spiritual mushroom spores were dispersed by the power of Earth Element, transforming into a hazy mist.
The Seven-Colored Dragon's inverse scale on his forehead opened a Void Realm Rift, and the spore clusters surged into it, reflecting interweaving light and shadow of reality and illusion.
The root system took root in the space interlayer, absorbing the Spiritual Qi from the Void Realm.
nine void spiritual orchid seeds were scattered at the Yin and Yang intersection.
These seeds were purple throughout, covered with fine patterns, as if containing countless illusions.
The Seven-Colored Dragon tore open the curtain of illusion with his claws, and the seeds quickly took root and sprouted.
Seven-colored petals bloomed alternately between reality and illusion, each petal reflecting different Heart Demon illusions.
Dewdrops condensed at the pistil, formed from fragments of Divine Sense, emitting a captivating light.
The entire spiritual field seemed to transform into an illusion.
Yang Yan Golden Mushroom seeds were thrown into the underground fire lava.
These seeds were scarlet throughout, with hot flame patterns flowing on their surface.
As soon as they touched the lava, the seeds rapidly expanded, and their caps burst open, with lava-like patterns flowing on their surface.
Strands of solar essence fire surged from the earth veins, and liquid fire essence immediately dripped from the gill-like folds, refining the surrounding ten feet of rock into a vitreous texture.
The entire underground fire area seemed to transform into a volcano, with scorching aura steaming upwards.
Jade Spring Spirit Mushroom seeds were placed into the cold pond.
A large batch of seeds were dark blue throughout, covered with a thin layer of frost.
As soon as they touched the cold pond, the seeds rapidly absorbed water essence, and their spirituality surged.
The seed bodies transformed into transparent water films, enveloping the entire cold pond, with faint visible spring eyes transforming into Meridians flowing gurglingly inside, emitting a cool aura.
The entire cold pond area seemed to transform into a world of ice crystals, refreshing and invigorating.
Jin Yao Spirit Vine seeds were embedded into the ore veins.
These seeds were silvery white throughout, with a metallic luster on their surface.
As soon as they touched the ore veins, the seeds rapidly grew, and their vines pierced through the iron mountain like sharp swords.
The vine bodies displayed flowing metallic luster, and the sharp thorns left fine silver cracks in the space they scratched, transforming into a metal jungle.
...
As billions of spiritual seeds landed, the entire Chaos Treasure Mansion Space burst forth with unprecedented vitality.
The medicinal aroma of the medicine king spirit ginseng permeated all directions, the Sword Qi of the Qingming Sword Bamboo crisscrossed, the illusory light and shadow of the nine void spiritual mushroom intertwined, the illusions of the nine void spiritual orchid were captivating, the scorching aura of the Yang Yan Golden Mushroom steamed, the cool water vapor of the Jade Spring Spirit Mushroom diffused, the sharpness of the Jin Yao Spirit Vine pierced the sky, and the Time-Space Power of the Time-Space Spirit Lotus flowed endlessly….
"Li Dage, you're healed!"
Sensing the changes in the Treasure Mansion Space, Xue'er immediately came out of seclusion and appeared before Li Mu, asking in surprise.
"Mm! Healed!"
Li Mu smiled slightly, his gaze gentle as he looked at Xue'er.
Her figure was as pure as snow, with a faint icy aura surrounding her, clearly indicating that her Cultivation had also improved during her seclusion.
Her appearance added a touch of coolness to this vibrant space.
Xue'er smiled happily, leaning against Li Mu, and admiring the special changes occurring within the Treasure Mansion Space with surprise, praising joyfully: "Li Dage, after the Treasure Mansion was re-refined, its power is extraordinary, it's quite different!"
Li Mu nodded gently, his gaze profound as he looked at this revitalized Chaos Treasure Mansion Space, and said proudly: "This re-refinement of the Treasure Mansion used Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, seven nine-rank divine objects as its foundation, supplemented by the method of planting Dao, successfully pushing the Treasure Mansion's foundation to a new level, achieving the ninth-rank!"
"Even if the Treasure Mansion has successfully advanced, wouldn't planting so many high-grade Spiritual Plants at once put too much burden on it?" Xue'er nodded understandingly, asking with some confusion.
"No! On the contrary, it is precisely the existence of the Dao Artifact array.
Once these Spiritual Plants mature, the Treasure Mansion can also take the opportunity to slowly absorb their inexhaustible foundation!" Li Mu smiled slightly, with a profound look in his eyes, then explained: "The core of the Dao Artifact array is to use Spiritual Plants as a medium, closely integrating their growth process with the evolution of the Treasure Mansion Space.
These high-grade Spiritual Plants, during their growth, will continuously absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and release a large amount of Origin Power.
And this Origin Power is precisely the nourishment for the further growth of the Treasure Mansion Space."
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Xue'er's eyes, and she nodded: "So that's how it is!
These Spiritual Plants are not only the foundation of the Treasure Mansion, but also a boost to its growth, no wonder Li Dage planted so many high-grade spiritual seeds at once."
Li Mu nodded and continued: "Not only that, the Dao Artifact array can also transform the Origin Power of these Spiritual Plants into the Law Power of the Treasure Mansion Space.
For example, the medicinal essence of the medicine king spirit ginseng can strengthen the life Law of the Treasure Mansion, the Sword Qi of the Qingming Sword Bamboo can enhance the offensive power of the Treasure Mansion, the illusory power of the nine void spiritual mushroom can stabilize the space structure of the Treasure Mansion, and the illusion power of the nine void spiritual orchid can evolve the illusion Law of the Treasure Mansion… Every Spiritual Plant will bring a unique enhancement to the Treasure Mansion."
Xue'er listened intently, unable to help but praise: "Li Dage's planning is indeed far-reaching!
In this way, the Treasure Mansion can not only evolve on its own, but also continuously strengthen itself through the growth of Spiritual Plants.
Can Li Dage also take this opportunity to absorb spiritual energy and improve his Cultivation, which is simply killing several birds with one stone."
Li Mu smiled, his gaze cast towards the rapidly growing Spiritual Plants in the distance, his tone carrying a hint of anticipation: "However, all of this still requires time.
The growth of high-grade Spiritual Plants is not an overnight affair, especially a large number of sixth and seventh-grade spiritual seeds, their growth cycle often spans hundreds or thousands of years.
Fortunately, the time flow rate within the Treasure Mansion Space is slightly faster than the outside world, and with the assistance of the Origin Power of seven nine-rank divine objects, their growth speed will accelerate significantly."
Li Mu then added: "In addition, after the Spiritual Plants in the Treasure Mansion Space mature, they will bear a large number of spiritual fruits and Spirit Medicine.
These spiritual objects are not only greatly beneficial for Cultivation, but can also be used to refine Medicinal Pills and Magic Treasures.
You can harvest them at the appropriate time according to their maturity to avoid waste."
A hint of joy flashed in Xue'er's eyes, and she said happily: "That's great!
This way, we won't have to worry about our Cultivation resources."
The two smiled at each other, and then Li Mu proactively invited: "Let's go, I'll take you on a tour of the Treasure Mansion to see the growth of these Spiritual Plants."
Xue'er readily agreed and flew up with Li Mu to tour the Treasure Mansion Space.
At this time, the war in the Central Plains Spirit Realm of the Spirit Realm was in full swing.
The Heavenly Dao Alliance, in conjunction with various Sects and many Cultivator Families in the Central Plains, was fully engaged in expelling the invading Demon Abyss Demon Cultivators and Demon creature army.
The war was proceeding smoothly, like a hot knife through butter.
On the battlefield of the Central Plains Spirit Realm, the Cultivators of the Heavenly Dao Alliance formed a grand formation, with Sword Qi crisscrossing and Magic Treasures flying, engaging in fierce combat with the Demon Abyss Demon Cultivators.
The Demon creature army retreated steadily under the fierce attacks of the Cultivators, Devilish Qi was purified, and the Demon Cultivators fled in disarray.
Just as the Heavenly Dao Alliance's offensive swept through the Central Plains Spirit Realm like a tide, several Demon Lords from the Demon Abyss side fell into unprecedented panic.
The Blood Demon Lord, Phantom Shadow Demon Lord, Mad Bone Demon Lord, and Soul Erosion Demon Lord gathered in the Demon Hall, anxiously discussing countermeasures.
The four Demon Lords were the highest commanders of this invasion of the Spirit Realm, yet at this moment, their faces were filled with solemnity and unease.
"Blood Demon, do you have any news of the two Demon God adults?" Phantom Shadow Demon Lord asked in a low voice, with a hint of anxiety.
Blood Demon Lord shook his head, his expression gloomy: "I have used secret methods to contact Eternal Demon God adult multiple times, but I have never received any response.
It's the same with Black Vulture Demon God adult."
"How is this possible!" Mad Bone Demon Lord roared, causing ripples of Devilish Qi, and said angrily: "At such a critical moment, how could the two Demon God adults ignore our calls?
Did something happen to them?"
"Watch your words!" Soul Erosion Demon Lord gave Mad Bone Demon Lord a cold glance and said solemnly: "How can the power of a Demon God adult be something you and I can fathom?
Perhaps they are in seclusion Cultivating, or are tied up by some important matters!"
"Seclusion Cultivating?" Phantom Shadow Demon Lord said uneasily: "Even so, the two Demon God adults would not completely cut off contact with us.
Moreover, the war is tight now, how could they ignore it?"
Blood Demon Lord was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Perhaps... something happened within the Demon Abyss World, causing the two Demon God adults to be unable to divert their attention."
"Something happened?" Soul Erosion Demon Lord frowned, "Are you saying there's a problem with the Demon Abyss?
Do you know something?"
"This is just a guess." A trace of solemnity flashed in Blood Demon Lord's eyes, as if he knew something, but he made up an excuse with some uncertainty, then said, "In any case, we must rely on ourselves for now.
The Heavenly Dao Alliance's offensive is getting fiercer, and the Demon creature army can no longer hold on.
Everyone, let's think of a countermeasure first!"
"Why don't we retreat to the Demon Abyss!" Mad Bone Demon Lord suggested, saying anxiously: "Now that we can't contact the two Demon God adults, staying here will only increase casualties.
It's better to retreat to the Demon Abyss first, find out what happened, and then make plans."
"Retreat to the Demon Abyss?" Phantom Shadow Demon Lord sneered, and said angrily, "Do you think the current situation still allows us to retreat unscathed?
The Cultivators of the Heavenly Dao Alliance have already blocked our retreat, if we withdraw rashly, we will only be wiped out by them!"
"Then what do you suggest? Are we just going to wait for death here?" Mad Bone Demon Lord said angrily.
"Perhaps... we can unite with the Immortal Spirit Realm." Soul Erosion Demon Lord suddenly spoke, his voice low and calm.
"Unite with the Immortal Spirit Realm?" The other Demon Lords were shocked upon hearing this.
"Are you crazy? The Immortal Spirit Realm and our Demon Abyss are irreconcilable, how could they cooperate with us?" Mad Bone Demon Lord said incredulously.
"Times have changed." Soul Erosion Demon Lord said solemnly: "If we withdraw from the Spirit Realm, the Immortal Spirit Realm's fate won't be much better.
If we can reach a temporary cooperation with the Immortal Spirit Realm, perhaps there might still be a glimmer of hope."
Upon hearing this, the Demon Lords looked at each other, tempted but also reluctant to speak, no one willing to take the lead, and the atmosphere on the scene immediately fell into a brief silence. (End of this chapter)
