chapter 512: spiritual pedestal births dao flower translator: reverie_ editor: kurisu
crossing into the flower blossom tier from the spiritual pedestal tier was a qualitative change. on the spiritual pedestal, a martial artsâ celestial flower would bloom, and one would transcend the mortal limit from then on.
why could flower blossom tier warriors allocate the spirit qi of heaven and earth to add to their attacks? it was because of the martial artsâ celestial flower that could draw the spirit qi of heaven and earth, as if a spirit base. however, the spirit base absorbed spirit qi to convert it into oneâs own origin power, but the martial artsâ celestial flower directly added to the attack.
but how did one produce a martial artsâ celestial flower?
plant the martial artsâ celestial flower seed on the spiritual pedestal and wait for it to bud and grow into a celestial flower; one would then be a flower blossom tier expert.
however, the first step wasnât to plant the seed, but to select the kind of a martial artsâ seed. seaÊá´h thÑ Î·ovÑlfire .net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âplanting one martial artsâ seed, i can thereby blossom a celestial flower and cross into the flower blossom tier. in the former life, i planted a spiritual seed of fire, and after the celestial flower blossomed, i could invoke the fire spiritual qi within heaven and earth.
âhowever, itâs said that some can plant down three martial artsâ seeds, and blossom three celestial flowers in the end, being called three flowers crown.
âi possess a five elements spirit base, why not try planting five seedlings?
âmartial artsâ seeds can only be planted at peak stage of the spiritual pedestal tier, so i must make a decision!
â...no need to consider. i walk the path of the strongest, so iâll plant five martial artsâ seeds.â
ling hanâs expression was resolute as he began to extract from the five elements chaos lotusâs source. this spirit base corresponded to the elements gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, so with these as seeds, the martial artsâ celestial flower he blossomed could also possess five different elements.
at that time, he would be able to draw from five types of spiritual qi in an attack, and that attack power would obviously be formidable.
however, stripping from the spirit baseâs source element was painful like being cut by a saber and made his expression twist involuntarily, revealing an intensely pained expression.
liu yu tong and the other girlsâ heart ached, especially yue hong changâs. her son was flesh that fell from her own body, making her tears almost fall out. liu yu tong and li si chan grabbed onto her hands on each side, calming her slightly.
extracting the source element of a spirit base: this process was extremely painful, but not dangerous. ling han did it once in his previous life, but he had a fire spirit base back then, and only needed to extract it once to finish; now, it was five times!
fortunately, this process was finally completed anyway.
having removed the source elements, the five elements chaos lotus seemed dispirited and inert, somewhat hurt at the core, but it only needed some time to rest and could still recuperate. also, since ling han was also a heaven grade alchemist, would he still fear a damaged spirit base?
ling han began to plant the spirit seeds, but there were only five and they couldnât be broken up into parts. he considered it momentarily and decided to care for the earth spiritual oceanâs spiritual pedestal; as for the other half... that would be for later.
spiritual pedestals were the best soil for spirit seeds. after burying the spirit seed, to let the spirit seed bud and blossom a celestial flower, massive amounts of energy needed to be provided, as well as corresponding martial arts comprehension; these two things were the fertilizer to grow the spirit seedâneither could be missing.
ling han began to chug down spirit medicine and spiritual liquid. as for marital arts comprehension, this he wasnât missing; even if he planted five seeds this time, he was still much at ease, having enough comprehension to aid him back to the heaven tier.
when the martial artsâ seed would bud, how long it would grow, and what celestial flower would bloom... these were all uncertain. depending on whether there was enough âfertilizer,â it would be possible to succeed in one to two days, but if there werenât enough fertilizer, it might be several years, several tens of years, or hundreds of years.
...there wouldnât be over hundreds of years, since lifespan was a mere hundred years. if one didnât enter the flower blossom tier, one would already be dead.
ling han of course had enough âfertilizer.â although there werenât medicinal pills that could make one directly cross into the flower blossom tier, there were too many tonic things, and he didnât wish to cross into it directly. advancing into the flower blossom tier was to comprehend the dao of heaven and earth which was of great benefit, so why miss it?
he kept eating, and the five spirit seeds soon budded, breaking through the mud and swaying on the spiritual pedestal. the strange thing was that on top of the spiritual pedestal in the heaven spiritual ocean, five spirit seeds also budded!
what happened? heâd clearly only planted five spirit seeds!
...but, this was a good thing, wasnât it?
ling han didnât have time to care now, simply nurturing the five spirit seeds diligently. as they kept growing, the spirit seeds were covered with vein-like patterns, shining resplendentlyâthis was ling hanâs comprehension of martial arts.
the spirit seeds grew very fast, and only after a dayâs effort grew into a firmament tree with a flower bud on top; the celestial flowerâs blossoming was imminent.
once the celestial flower blossomed, ling han would officially advance into the flower blossom tier. now, well, he was the same as when heâd planted the seed, only at half-step flower blossom tier.
ling han sat cross-legged. this was the most arduous step and needed the provision of terrifying amounts of energy. on the contrary, martial intent had already densely covered the celestial flower, divine patterns intertwining; it was enough.
eat! eat!
ling han devoured ravenously like his life depended on it. a dao fire rose within his body, burning his body and nourishing it cealessly with energy.
âdamn, how come that much energy still isnât enough?â he cried out inwardly. when heâd broken through to the flower blossom tier in the past, he used at most one hundredth of that energy, but now it was a hundred times more, as if filling in a bottomless pit with no sign of it being enough.
he came to a realization: this was because he cultivated indestructible heavenâs scroll. his physiqueâs toughness was equivalent to rare metalsâ of the same tier, and the problem was with âsame tier.â
since he wanted to advance into the flower blossom tier, his physique obviously had to increase to the hardness of a sixth tier rare metal, but this couldnât possibly appear out of thin air; he obviously had to absorb sufficient amounts of energy to increase his physique.
could this not require massive amounts of energy? ling han was now equivalent to a human-shaped spirit tool; an increase from fifth tier spirt tool to a sixth tier one, was this change not great?
then continue eating!
ling han turned into hu niu, the chowhound. liu yu tong and the others stared with eyes wide openâare you breaking through or turning into a hungry ghostâs reincarnation? even hu niu was somewhat shocked, muttering, âseems to eat more than niu, as expected of niuâs ling han!â
he ate for two days and two nights, finally filling this hole. five flower buds trembled lightly, as theyâd blossom at any time. on the heaven spiritual oceanâs spiritual pedestal, the five celestial flowers were also the same.
it was like a mirrorâthe changes of the earth spiritual oceanâs spiritual pedestal would be replicated on the heaven spiritual oceanâs spiritual pedestal, appearing extremely miraculous. thankfully that was soâling han didnât have any spare spirit seeds to let two spiritual pedestals blossom celestial flowers simultaneously.
slowly, the celestial flower blossomed!
dang, dang, dang , the sound of dao resonated within the black tower, thought-provoking. liu yu tong and the others, regardless of each personâs cultivation, all entered into a state of enlightenment.
observing someoneâs breakthrough, especially to the flower blossom tier, a great threshold of surpassing mortals, had many great benefits.
of course, ling han was definitely the one with the greatest changes. on the earth spiritual oceanâs spiritual pedestal, the five martial artsâ celestial flowers blossomed one by one.
an azure flower represented wood; a red flower represented fire; a white flower represented gold; a black flower represented water, and a gold flower represented earth.
the flower of five elements, blossomed all together.
the flower blossom tier!
