Chapter 27 Red Date Innate Enlightenment Tea
Only by refining the central core can one truly control Penglai Immortal Island. And just now, while refining the Pure World White Lotus, Feng Zichen had already found the location of this central core.
The Chaos Spring, this chaotic spiritual object evolved from fragments of chaos, is the source of the Chaos Spiritual Spring, the source of the island's chaotic primordial energy, and the central core of Penglai Immortal Island.
The reason Penglai Immortal Island can rival the top-tier primordial heavens is precisely because of the existence of this Chaos Spring.
Countless millennia have passed since the creation of the primordial world, and the chaotic primordial energy remaining in the world has long been transformed into innate energy. Only top-tier primordial heavens can extract even a
wisp of chaotic primordial energy from beyond the heavens. For Penglai Immortal Island to possess a Chaos Spring capable of producing chaotic primordial energy is truly unique in the world. At least, that's how Feng Zichen understands it.
The Chaos Spring is not a spiritual treasure and does not require refining. Simply imprinting one's true spirit mark upon it grants control of the island, a task easily accomplished by Feng Zichen.
After imprinting his true spirit mark on the Chaos Spring, various information about Penglai Immortal Island surfaced in Feng Zichen's mind.
Simultaneously, two faint auras connected with Penglai Immortal Island, jointly constructing a primordial grand array—the very same primordial Three Talents Grand Array Feng Zichen had experienced upon entering the island.
"It's Fangzhang Immortal Island and Yingzhou Immortal Island!"
Without tracing its source, Feng Zichen could guess the origin of the auras.
All formed from fragments of chaos and located in the East Sea, the three immortal islands naturally had a connection. And judging from their formation of a grand array, the three islands were highly likely to be one entity.
Using the power of the Primordial Dao Seal, Feng Zichen tore through space, following one of the auras.
Upon entering the space, Feng Zichen felt a sudden upheaval. He then witnessed the emergence of the Three Powers and the reversal of the Five Elements, unleashing waves of destructive energy that hurtled towards him.
Within the formation, the Primordial Dao Seal glowed faintly, enveloping Feng Zichen and isolating him from all attacks. Afterwards, it carried him out of the formation and soared away.
When Feng Zichen reappeared, he found himself in a jujube grove.
A fragrant aroma wafted through the air, prompting him to take a deep breath. Instantly, Feng Zichen sensed something different. With that breath, his life essence had increased considerably.
He quickly looked around and saw towering jujube trees, laden with crimson jujubes. From afar, they resembled clusters of burning flames.
"This is—the Primordial Red Jujube Tree!"
After a moment of careful observation, Feng Zichen recognized the tree's origin.
The Primordial Red Jujube Tree, the first jujube tree in the world, a mid-grade Primordial Spiritual Root. The fruit it bears—red dates—is useless to innate beings, but a supreme treasure for those born later in life.
The main effect of red dates is longevity, and they are divided into three grades based on their efficacy.
There are 3,330 innate red date trees here. 3,000 are of the lowest grade, ripening once every 600 years, extending life by 600 years;
300 are of the middle grade, ripening once every 6,000 years, extending life by 6,000 years; and
30 are of the highest grade, ripening once every 60,000 years, extending life by 60,000 years.
Moreover, innate spiritual roots are incredibly wondrous, and frequent consumption will not lead to drug resistance or affect its efficacy.
Innate beings are favored by heaven and earth, without lifespan limitations, and naturally have no need for this substance.
But born later in life are different; not favored by the heavens, their lifespans are limited. A mortal's lifespan is no more than a hundred years; even a celestial immortal only has a lifespan of one primordial cycle; only by reaching the Golden Immortal realm can one achieve immortality.
Therefore, red dates, which can extend life, are no less than a supreme treasure for born later in life. After all, no treasure is more precious than life itself.
Especially for the current human race, the red dates are extremely important.
The lineage of gods and demons has just been established, and everything is still in the exploratory stage, with many problems arising. Human lifespans are short; a slight misstep, a wrong turn, can ruin a lifetime.
The appearance of the red dates can extend the lifespan of the human race, giving them more time to create cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities, perfect the lineage of gods and demons, and strengthen the human race's power.
After all, to prosper the human race, Feng Zichen alone is not enough; only with a continuous stream of human experts can the human race gain a foothold in the prehistoric world and gradually grow stronger. Relying on his intuition, Feng Zichen contacted his divine avatar far away among the human race, instructing it to send someone to collect the red dates.
"It's a pity that there are no teleportation arrays in this prehistoric era."
Glancing at the date grove, Feng Zichen sighed. This place was countless miles from the human race; a round trip would take an immense amount of time. If there were a teleportation array, it wouldn't be so troublesome.
In the future, he would definitely research and develop a teleportation array. The prehistoric world was so vast that even a saint would need considerable time to fly around it; without a teleportation array, it wouldn't be possible!
Of course, saints held the power of heaven and earth; they could go wherever they wanted with a thought, without needing to fly.
Further on, Feng Zichen saw a stone tablet inscribed with the words "Yingzhou" in innate divine script.
This was Yingzhou Island.
Yingzhou Island was similar to Penglai Island, also possessing a chaotic spring, though smaller than the one on Penglai Island.
Beside the Chaos Spirit Spring, a tea tree swayed in the wind, its leaves trembling and emitting sounds of the Great Dao, guiding one to enlightenment.
This was the first tea tree in the world, a superior innate spiritual root—the Innate Enlightenment Tea.
Its name and efficacy had been passed down through generations, but no news of its origin remained; it turned out this treasure was hidden on Yingzhou Island.
After imprinting his mark on the Innate Enlightenment Tea, Feng Zichen walked towards the Chaos Spring. Once he controlled Yingzhou Island, everything on it would be his.
As Feng Zichen imprinted his true spirit mark on the spring, a passage appeared before him.
This was a passage to Fangzhang Island. In the later stages of Feng Zichen's control over Yingzhou Island, it appeared automatically without his active searching.
"The three immortal islands are indeed connected!"
Thinking this, Feng Zichen stepped into the passage, heading towards Fangzhang Island.
Whether his luck had run out or there were no treasures on Fangzhang Island, Feng Zichen wandered around the island without finding anything.
What he gained was his fortune, what he lost was his fate.
Feng Zichen was quite open-minded; even if he gained nothing on Fangzhang Island, he wouldn't feel the slightest disappointment. After all, the gains on the other two immortal islands were already quite surprising.
Imprinting the True Spirit Mark on the spring, all three immortal islands were now under Feng Zichen's control.
Rumble!
The three immortal islands trembled violently, each emitting a beam of light that fell into Feng Zichen's sea of consciousness before returning to calm.
Within his sea of consciousness, the three beams of light intertwined, transforming into an array diagram, revealing the Three Powers Dao—the Primordial Three Powers Grand Array.
Simultaneously, a memory from the ancient chaos appeared in Feng Zichen's mind:
in the vast chaos, a blurry giant figure wielding a giant axe fiercely cleaved down at the chaos.
This memory was none other than—Pangu Creating the World. (
