The Primeval Lord of Heaven glanced at Jiang He and flatly said, "The Three Gems Back Scratcher is an Innate Virtue Soul Treasure. You wouldn't be able to unleash its power even if you take it."
Being a Saint, how could he not see through Jiang He's thoughts?
Jiang He was not embarrassed at all that his thoughts were seen through, and smiled. "Don't worry, Primeval Lord of Heaven. The day I leave the Hollow Jade Temple is the day I return the Three Gems Back Scratcher."
Jiang He offered a fist-palm salute in farewell, and the Immortal Hermit of the South Pole led him away.
On the way …
"Tut, tut. I didn't pay much attention on my way here, but the dimensions here seem a little different."
Jiang He clicked his tongue in wonder as he studied his surroundings.
"This is an alternate dimension."
The Immortal Hermit of the South Pole puffed out his chest with a smug look on his face and smiled. "My master cut this out from the depths of the celestial battlefield. This alternate dimension is very unique and only exists in the chaos of the depths of the celestial battlefield. However, it is so chaotic that only Saints could refine it."
"That troublesome?"
Jiang He appeared puzzled and asked in surprise, "What's so good about this thing if it's so troublesome?"
"Perhaps you didn't feel it, Brother Jiang He?"
"Feel what?"
Jiang He appeared baffled …
What did I feel?
I just felt that the dimension where the Primeval Lord of Heaven was was a little different from the outside world. It was as if it was a world of its own, which was why I asked. And now, I get something out of it?
"It is easier to grasp the Heavenly Dao in a stable alternate dimension."
The Immortal Hermit of the South Pole stared at Jiang He and said, "Saints could refine earth, water, fire, and wind. After my master's refinement, this alternate dimension is no different from a real world. Most importantly, my master had used many Saint techniques to refine this alternate dimension, making this world closer to the Heavenly Dao. Any cultivator who enters this alternate dimension would greatly improve their understanding of the Heavenly Dao … eh?"
"Brother Jiang He, did you not gain enlightenment?"
"Eh?"
Jiang He did a double take.
Enlightenment of the Heavenly Dao?
'What the f * ck am I comprehending …'
Jiang He felt as if his heart was being stabbed.
He too wished that he could experience the joy of cultivation … but he was so lacking in talent. Sigh!
"Yes, yes, yes …"
Even so, he could not afford to reveal anything before the Chan Sect immortals. Blushing, Jiang He braced himself and said, "I definitely felt a special epiphany rising from the Yongquan acupoint on the soles of my feet straight up to the top of my head, but I didn't notice it at the time … I can only blame myself for not cultivating long enough and not having much experience in epiphany, which is why I couldn't grasp the opportunity."
"…"
The South Pole Immortal Hermit opened his mouth but chose to remain silent in the end.
Returning to his yard, Jiang He entered his farm in a flash and summoned Dumbo, Trumbo, the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers, the Nine Wise Rock Monkeys, and his maids, saying, "I've borrowed a mystic treasure from the Saint. It contains an array that accelerates time, and I'll activate it to accelerate time in this area. When that happens, all of you can enter the array to cultivate and cultivate as soon as possible, cultivating the Overdeity divinities I gave you … by the way, who has the mystic treasure of the Golden Immortals and True Immortals?"
Jiang He remembered the Golden Immortals and True Immortals he had planted then.
Half a year ago, those Golden Immortals and True Immortals would have been a formidable fighting force for Jiang He, but they were only average now.
The key was that these Golden Immortals and True Immortals were all cultivators of the Hundred Races.
Those races had a death grudge against humans, and since Jiang He had just arrived at Primeval and was not too familiar with the environment here, it would not be appropriate for him to let them out.
There was no need for that now.
Hence, he simply herded them into the array so that they could cultivate their Overdeity divinities.
When they were done, their combat ability would at least match an average Grand Luo … and while the average Grand Luo would not count for much across worlds, who would dare to underestimate them when they worked together?
Moreover, Zeus's divinities were among the Overdeity divinities.
Zeus wielded the power of thunder and would not lose out to average Demi-Saints in terms of combat ability. Hence, Jiang He planted ten Overdeity divinities at once and distributed them to Dumbo, Trumbo, the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers, and the others. Even if they could not match Zeus in ability, they would still be able to cultivate ten elites that could match the best of Grand Luo.
"I don't lack mystic treasures."
"When the time comes, I'll have over three hundred average Grand Luo and ten peak Grand Luo armed to the teeth with premium-grade immortal items and acquired soul treasures. Then, I could set up some combined arrays and whatnot, and I would be able to fight the Nether River Patriarch."
"By the way, there's also Little Willow … you are a willow tree that cultivates in peak wood-type cultivation and would soon face your immortal retribution. Demeter of the Western Overdeities is the Overdeity of Life and has mastered Wood Dao, so you can cultivate this Overdeity divinity."
"Thank you, Master."
In the farm, the towering willow tree that blotted out the sun shook its body and turned into a little loli with twin ponytails and Lolita-style clothes. The little loli smiled sweetly at Jiang He and accepted the Overdeity's divinity.
Finally, only the Cloudscraper Vine was left.
The Cloudscraper Vine had now reached the level of an empyrean immortal.
Of course, the Cloudscraper Vine's path was different from Little Willow's.
While Little Willow was a plant lifeform, the Cloudscraper Vine itself was a special plant lifeform. It did not take the path of daemonic cultivation, but evolution.
The condition for its evolution was simple: it had to keep devouring the flesh and blood of living beings.
The corpses of daemons, cultivators, and even the essence of daemonic plants would work …
Still, it was extremely difficult for the Cloudscraper Vine to keep evolving.
Would it be so easy to obtain the corpses of powerful daemons and cultivators?
Only a monster like Jiang He would find grooming a Cloudscraper Vine so easy.
Jiang He flew and landed beside the Cloudscraper Vine.
Many thorny vines extended towards him at once.
Currently, the Cloudscraper Vine had 256 vines. In its perfect state, each vine was a hundred meters thick and nearly two hundred kilometers long. Although it was at the level of a Celestial Immortal, even a True Immortal might not be able to do anything to it.
After reaching Heavenly Immortal, the Cloudscraper Vine's appetite had grown even larger. It had devoured no less than twenty Heavenly Immortal and True Immortal corpses, which it used to strengthen its lifeforce and its 256 vines.
Jiang He had tested that the Cloudscraper Vine's tendrils were now comparable to inferior-grade immortal items in defense, and not even weaker True Immortals could tear them apart. Most importantly, it had 256 of such tendrils, and if one was torn apart, there would be 255 left …
Moreover, the Cloudscraper Vine's lifeforce was frightening, and it would regrow before one could cut off more than a few of its tendrils.
"If the Cloudscraper Vine could be groomed to Grand Luo, its tendrils would match inferior-grade acquired soul treasures in terms of toughness and damage, and it would definitely wipe out a horde of Grand Luo. It would definitely be a waste of a special lifeform like the Cloudscraper Vine to cultivate the divinities of Overdeities."
With that thought in mind, Jiang He took out an Overdeity divinity of Life and said, "Cloudscraper Vine, this Overdeity divinity contains profound lifeforce and Life Dao. Try and see if you could consume it."
He nonchalantly threw out the Overdeity divinity of Life, which landed among the Cloudscraper Vine's tendrils.
Its 256 tendrils rapidly shrunk and eventually wrapped around the Overdeity divinity.
In the next moment, a gentle light lit up, enveloping the entire Cloudscraper Vine. As the light grew brighter, the Cloudscraper Vine's aura skyrocketed. In the blink of an eye, it broke through the Celestial Immortal realm and reached the True Immortal realm.
Its 256 tendrils began to split into 512 tendrils as well.
"Good!"
Jiang He's eyes lit up.
The Life Dao and lifeforce contained in one Overdeity divinity was enough for the Cloudscraper Vine's newly split tendrils to evolve to their very limits, allowing it to reach True Immortal-pinnacle.
He still had several Overdeity divinities.
If it could consume Overdeity divinities, what about other divinities?
Jiang He did a rough count.
He still had over seven hundred Overdeity divinities …
"If I find slaves and groom them, I could groom over seven hundred subordinates who are almost Grand Luo … but if I give them to the Cloudscraper Vine, it would definitely grow to Grand Luo-pinnacle or even Demi-Saint. With its uniqueness, the Cloudscraper Vine would be able to sweep through an entire horde of Grand Luo …"
With that thought in mind, Jiang He made a decision.
He threw the remaining Overdeity divinities to the Cloudscraper Vine at once before taking out the Three Gems Scepter, the Primeval Lord of Heaven's Innate Virtue Soul Treasure.
Kaboom!
Immortal Yuan Strength surged.
The tiny scepter promptly took to the air, and dazzling five-colored radiance erupted from it, engulfing half of the Farm. A special energy ripple emanated from within, and Jiang He could clearly feel the change in the flow of time in the Farm as he stood within it.
He stepped out of the five-colored radiance's range and retreated, feeling it out carefully and comparing, frowning. "The flow of time is about 1: 100. A day outside is 100 days inside …"
That was a little slow!
Jiang He felt a little helpless.
He did not know a thing about Temporal Dao, or he could speed up the flow of time even more. When that happened, a day outside would be a year inside, and it would only take a month for most people to fully cultivate the Overdeity divinities. When that happens, he could just lead an army of Grand Luo elites to Sura to reason with the Nether River Patriarch. Would the Nether River Patriarch dare to say anything?
"A 1: 100 time flow … it would probably take around a year for them to fully cultivate it …"
"Hmmm …"
"Do I have to stay at the Hollow Jade Temple for a year?"
Jiang He felt a headache right then. "And here I was thinking about refining the Body Honing Pellets as soon as possible, and then getting a batch of rank-eight Dao Enlightenment Pellets from Lü Dongbin … if the Dao Enlightenment Pellets could be mass-produced, earning Farm Points would definitely be better than the Body Honing Pellets."
Jiang He left the Farm, musing to himself for a moment before coming up with a plan.
He found the True Habitant of Yu Ding and took out several Spatial Rings, saying, "Brother Yu Ding, here are a hundred million immortal crystals. Could I trouble the Hollow Jade Temple to help me purchase a batch of materials for the Body Honing Pellets?"
"Ah?"
The True Habitant of Yu Ding did a double take and asked in surprise, "Why do you need so many Body Honing Pellets, Brother Jiang He?"
"Perfecting my alchemy technique, practice makes perfect …"
Jiang He came up with a random excuse before adding, "By the way, do you know Lü Dongbin, Brother Yu Ding?"
"Lu Dongbin?"
Perfected Yu Ding thought for a while and said, "Are you General Dongmu of the Heavenly Courts?"
General Dongmu?
Jiang He remembered then … Lü Dongbin seemed to be the reincarnation of Emperor Dong Hua, who was a high-ranking official of the Celestial Court and was known as General Dong Mu. He promptly nodded.
"This is simple."
Perfected Yu Ding smiled and said, "My disciple is now working in the Heavenly Courts. Just get him to contact General Dongmu."
It's settled!
Jiang He was delighted.
The immortals of the Chan School from the Jade Void Palace helped him settle the ingredients for the Body Tempering Pill.
As long as he could take care of the Dao Understanding Pill, he would be able to step into the Sage-to-be Realm!
