National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants.

Chapter 247 Daoyan
In the boundless space of chaos, Lin Zhi and Canglizi drove the dragon boat, like two guiding stars, drawing a clear path in the dark sea of ​​chaos.

Chaos, as the original state of the universe, carries the original interweaving of time and space and is the birthplace of all laws and order.

However, when they traveled to a chaotic area that seemed peaceful on the surface, an indescribable pressure suddenly descended upon them.

The chaotic air currents around began to become abnormally active, as if being pulled by some invisible force.

"Be careful, there are abnormal fluctuations in the aura here." Canglizi frowned, his intuition keenly captured the potential danger signals.

Lin Zhi also sensed something, and he immediately became more vigilant. Together with Cang Erzi, he slowed down the speed of the Qinglian Boat and moved forward cautiously.

Soon, a shocking scene came into view - not far ahead, chaotic air currents gathered into a huge vortex. It was a deep and bottomless chaotic abyss. The chaotic air currents at its edge were like raging waves, swallowing up all approaching matter and energy.

"This is the abyss of chaos. We must take evasive measures."

Canglizi spoke in a serious tone. The Chaos Abyss is known for its extreme danger in the Chaos Zone. Even practitioners in the Primal Realm do not dare to set foot there lightly.

The two controlled the dragon boat and tried to bypass the abyss. However, the gravity of the abyss was extremely strong, and the dragon boat was swaying under the huge suction force and was almost dragged into the endless chaos.

"Keep steady!" Canglizi commanded loudly, quickly forming seals with his hands. Circles of green light instantly burst out around the dragon boat to resist the powerful gravitational force of the abyss.

Lin Zhi also tried his best, and together with Cang Erzi, he used his magic power to try his best to maintain the balance of the dragon boat.

It was unknown how much time had passed before the two of them escaped from the abyss.

There was a hint of relief in Cang Erzi's voice. He continued, "At the beginning of the chaos, there was only pure chaotic energy. It had no form or boundaries. It was a completely undifferentiated void. However, as time went by, the chaos gradually evolved and formed the current structure - the upper part is the boundless starry sky, with stars dotted and dazzling; the lower part is the vast chaotic sea, with turbulent waves and unfathomable depths."

"Our ancestral star is located in the center of the Chaos Sea, like a shining pearl, surrounded by seven rings of primitive continents. Each ring is an independent yet interconnected world. On these continents, life multiplies and everything grows, forming a huge and complex ecosystem."

Cang Erzi's eyes became deep, and he continued: "However, in the chaos there is not only the Great Desolation, there are other worlds of the same level as the Great Desolation. These worlds have their own characteristics, some are mysterious, some are terrifying and strange, and each one has a strong man who is no less powerful than the Dao Ancestor."

"For example, the Endless Abyss is the home of the abyss demons. It is bottomless and full of evil and chaos. The Nether Cave is a place where ghosts run rampant. It is gloomy and terrifying, and ordinary creatures cannot set foot in it. The Purgatory of the Dead Souls is a place where souls suffer, with blazing fires and wailing. The Shura Blood Sea is a symbol of war and killing, with surging blood and mountains of corpses."

"There is also the Chaos Hive, which is the kingdom of the Zerg. Dense swarms of Zerg cover the entire world. The Underground City is hidden deep underground. It is a gathering place for dwarves and goblins and is full of machinery and magic. The Dark Rift is a crack that connects different dimensions and is full of unknowns and dangers."

Xanthium's description made Lin Zhi feel the vastness and diversity of chaos. He realized that this world was more colorful and more dangerous than he had imagined. Each alien world had its own rules and power, and the existence of these worlds also added countless possibilities and variables to chaos.

"We must remain vigilant. We must not only face the challenges within the prehistoric world, but also be wary of threats from other worlds." Xanthium reminded.

Lin Zhi nodded slightly.

Time flies, and after a long journey, the three finally arrived at an ancient fixed teleportation array. This teleportation array is hidden in a chaotic fog, looming and exuding a mysterious atmosphere. They quickly activated the teleportation array, and a flash of light passed, and then they disappeared on the spot.

The next moment, they appeared in front of the gate of Qinglian Taoist Palace. This is a magnificent building suspended in the void, surrounded by clouds and mist, full of fairy spirit. The architectural style of the Taoist Palace is simple and elegant, and every brick and tile reveals a deep historical heritage.

Lin Zhi stood in front of the gate of Qinglian Taoist Palace, his heart filled with indescribable excitement.

This majestic and magnificent Taoist palace is not only a holy place for practitioners, but also the starting point of his cultivation path after entering Hunyuan. He took a deep breath, followed Canglizi into the Taoist gate, and began his cultivation career in Qinglian Taoist Palace.

The interior of the Taoist temple is exquisitely laid out, revealing an otherworldly atmosphere everywhere. In the courtyard, exotic flowers and plants compete for beauty, cranes dance gracefully, and everything seems so harmonious and beautiful. Here, Lin Zhi felt a kind of secluded tranquility, as if time had slowed down here.

Under the guidance of Xanthium sibiricum, Lin Zhi came to the ancestor, Qinglian Layman Li Bai. Li Bai sat on a piece of jade, emitting a faint glow, his eyes were deep, as if he could see into people's hearts. When he saw Lin Zhi, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was a kind of recognition and expectation for the younger generation.

"Master, this is our new junior brother Lin Zhi who has just joined our Taoist palace." Canglizi introduced respectfully.

Li Bai nodded gently, his eyes fell on Lin Zhi, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Very good, your cultivation has reached the peak of the Dao Realm, and you are only one step away from the Dao Yan Realm."

Lin Zhi hurried forward and bowed: "Lin Zhi greets Master."

Li Bai waved his hand, took out a yellowed ancient book from his bosom, and handed it to Lin Zhi: "This Qinglian Daojing is the essence of my lifelong learning. You need to study it carefully and comprehend its mysteries. My Taoism originated from the Taoist ancestor, and integrated the planting path of the immortal Shennong. Based on this, all kinds of changes have been derived."

Lin Zhi took the Qing Lian Dao Jing with both hands, his heart filled with gratitude and admiration: "I will practice hard and live up to Master's expectations."

Since then, Lin Zhi has been immersed in the world of Qinglian Daojing, practicing day after day. He not only studied it in theory, but also explored it in practice, turning the knowledge in the book into his own strength. During his days in Qinglian Dao Palace, Lin Zhi's cultivation improved day by day, and his understanding of Dao became deeper and deeper.

During his time at the Qinglian Taoist Palace, Lin Zhi was like an unpolished jade, gradually revealing his inner brilliance. Inside the Taoist Palace, there was a quiet room dedicated to the practice of disciples, which was filled with various formations to assist in practice, helping practitioners to enter the state faster and absorb the Dao rhyme between heaven and earth.

Lin Zhi chose a quiet room near the Chaos Spirit Spring. The Chaos Taoism here was particularly rich and very beneficial for cultivation.

Every day, Lin Zhi would spend a lot of time studying the Qinglian Daojing, a book that contained the life's work of the founder of the Qinglian Layman Li Bai. Every word was a pearl and every sentence was mysterious. Lin Zhi sometimes recited silently, sometimes closed his eyes and meditated, trying to integrate his soul with the Dao described in the book.

In addition to theoretical learning, practical training is also indispensable. Lin Zhi found a quiet place in the back mountain of the Taoist Palace. The environment here is quiet and it is an excellent place for practice. He built a simple hut here as his place of practice. Whenever night falls, Lin Zhi will come here, sit cross-legged, absorb the rhythm of heaven and earth, circulate the Dao in his body, and practice various Taoist secrets.

Time passed quietly like flowing water, and Lin Zhi's cultivation life in the Taoist Palace was plain but fulfilling. Not only did he make significant progress in his personal cultivation, but he also achieved excellent results in various assessments of the Taoist Palace, winning the respect of many fellow disciples and the praise of his teacher.

However, Lin Zhi did not become complacent because he knew clearly that the road of cultivation was long and boundless, and he was just at the beginning. He always maintained a humble attitude, humbly asked for advice from his teachers, exchanged experiences with his fellow disciples, and constantly improved his cultivation system.

The time spent in Qinglian Dao Palace was a time of both tempering and growth for Lin Zhi. Here he learned how to blend with the Dao, how to persist in adversity, and how to stay awake in prosperity. These valuable experiences will become the most solid foundation for his future cultivation.

Time flies, and seventeen epochs passed quietly in the silence of cultivation. When Lin Zhi slowly opened his eyes and woke up from the long retreat, his eyes flashed with a deep light, as if he had experienced countless years of precipitation and baptism.

He opened his mind and suddenly a bunch of blooming green lotuses appeared under his feet. Each lotus radiated a faint glow and contained infinite power of the Great Dao. Among these green lotuses, there were actually beautiful goddesses standing quietly, with halos above their heads, each representing the incarnation of a Great Dao.

"Brother, your practice of the Qinglian Taoist Scripture has become more and more profound. It is truly astonishing that the great Dao can evolve in this way!" The young man at the side could not help but exclaim in admiration, his eyes full of admiration and envy.

Lin Zhi smiled slightly and turned his gaze to the young man. Although he looked young, in fact, like Lin Zhi, he had experienced countless vicissitudes of life. Now, the young man has also reached the ninth level of Daoji, and his strength should not be underestimated.

"Haha, the Qinglian Taoist Scripture is profound and extensive. What I have understood is just the tip of the iceberg. I just combined what I learned before with it and found a path of cultivation that suits me." Lin Zhi responded modestly.

He knew that his personal understanding was limited after all, and it was extremely difficult to comprehend the Three Thousand Great Daos on his own. Therefore, Lin Zhi decided to plant Daoyun Fairy Flowers based on the Qinglian Great Dao. Each fairy flower gave birth to a goddess' body, which was connected to his life.

On the path of cultivation, Lin Zhi always maintains an unremitting pursuit of knowledge.

He knew very well that any single practice method had its limitations, and only by integrating different practice concepts and techniques could he create a unique path of his own.

Therefore, in the process of in-depth study of the "Qinglian Daojing", Lin Zhi began to try to combine it with his previous practice methods.

First, Lin Zhi reviewed the various skills and secret techniques he had learned in the past and analyzed their characteristics and advantages. He found that in his previous practice, he was particularly good at using the power of natural elements, such as water and wood, which coincided with the concept of "harmonious coexistence with nature" advocated in the Qinglian Daojing. Therefore, Lin Zhi decided to use this advantage as a basis to further deepen his practice system.

Next, Lin Zhi began to study the core essence of the Qinglian Daojing in depth. He found that this classic emphasizes the state of unity of body and mind, and unity of heaven and man through practicing the Qinglian Dao. In order to better understand this concept, Lin Zhi began to try to connect his consciousness with the Qinglian in nature, feel their growth, blooming and withering, and thus understand the true meaning of life.

On this basis, Lin Zhi creatively proposed the concept of "Daoyun Fairy Flower". He combined the Qinglian Dao in the Qinglian Daojing with his expertise in the evolution and cultivation of spiritual plants, and through special cultivation methods, he cultivated Daoyun Fairy Flowers in his body. Each fairy flower represents the power of a natural element and also contains the essence of Qinglian Dao.

More importantly, Lin Zhi also integrated the souls of his former gods, Fu Hua, Yan Ruyu and others, into the Daoyun Fairy Flower. These goddesses were closely related to Lin Zhi's life and death, and they comprehended the Dao together. In this way, Lin Zhi not only made his own cultivation path broader and more efficient, but also allowed these goddesses to be reborn and continue to accompany him.

Finally, after countless attempts and improvements, Lin Zhi successfully integrated the "Qinglian Daojing" with his previous cultivation methods.

These goddesses were his former favorites - Fu Hua, Yan Ruyu and others. In this way, Lin Zhi successfully cultivated 3,000 Daoyun fairy flowers, allowing these goddesses to comprehend the Dao at the same time. This not only greatly saved his energy, but also made his path of cultivation broader and smoother.

In the following days, Lin Zhi continued to study the Qinglian Dao Sutra and constantly improved his cultivation system. And those goddesses whose lives were closely related to his also gradually comprehended the Dao under his guidance.

However, Lin Zhi soon discovered that it was too difficult to create a new avenue in the Daoyan realm.

Hundreds of years had passed, and only less than a hundred of the Three Thousand Avenues had been created.

When he successfully controlled a hundred avenues, Xanthium arrived.
"Junior brother, congratulations, you have entered the second level of Dao Yan Realm. Now you are qualified to hold a nominal position in the Heavenly Court."

Xanthium sibiricum laughed.

"A position in Heaven in name only?"

Lin Zhi looked at him.

"Yes, after all, my Qinglian Taoist Palace is the orthodox Taoist sect. The Heavenly Court governs the wild world, and only with a position can one walk in the wild world."

Canglizi smiled and said, "Junior brother, you will take up the position, and then you can build the Eighth Chaos Domain and cultivate the next generation of disciples for my Qinglian Dao Palace."
