Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 54: The Ultimate Innate Spiritual Root, Enlightenment Tea Tree

"Ding, it is detected that the host has broken through to the cosmic level. Hereby reward the prehistoric supreme innate spiritual root - the enlightenment tea tree."

Enlightenment Tea Tree:
The best innate spiritual root, born in chaos, is the first tea tree produced in the prehistoric world, with a mysterious and profound Taoist charm. Every 129,600 years, it can produce 108 leaves of tea, and each leaf has the magical effect of connecting the laws of heaven and earth and allowing people to enter a state of enlightenment instantly.

Note: The system has adapted it to the rules of this world!

There was originally no life in the inner world of the chaos nucleus.

At this moment, a green bud suddenly broke out from the hard ground. It seemed to be injected with infinite vitality and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At first, the green buds were only the size of a fingertip, and the leaves were slightly curled up, showing the tenderness and fragility of new life.

But in just a few breaths, it stretched out, the leaves became broad and thick, and the emerald green color seemed to flow out. The fresh vitality was particularly eye-catching in the gray world inside the body.

Immediately afterwards, the branches began to grow rapidly, extending upward one section at a time, and quickly jumped from an inch long at the beginning to more than a foot high.

Side branches also emerged one after another, spreading around like a dense network. New leaf buds continued to sprout on the tender green branches. These leaf buds also grew and unfolded at an astonishing speed. The layers of leaves soon covered the originally bare branches tightly.

As time goes by, the tea tree has grown from an inconspicuous green bud into a towering tree of considerable size. Its trunk has become much thicker, and the bark has a rustic texture. The branches are curved and resilient, with 108 leaves with particularly eye-catching colors and crystal clear leaves, swaying gently in the energy airflow of the inner world.

"Hiss, my god, the Enlightenment Tea Tree, this system is amazing! It has such treasures!" Jiang Ye widened his eyes, staring at the Enlightenment Tea Tree emitting a faint light in the world inside his body, his shock beyond words.

This enlightenment tea tree can put me into a state of enlightenment, but I don’t know how effective it is.

Jiang Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, his heart full of anticipation.

He slowly stretched out his hand, gently pinched a piece of tea, and with a little force, the leaf broke away from the branch. Jiang Ye even felt a slight tremor at his fingertips, as if it was the hum of the tea tree.

Jiang Ye then exited the world inside his body and quickly lit a fire in the stove beside him. The blue flames licked the bottom of the pot. After a while, the water in the pot began to churn, making a "gurgling" sound, and steam rose up.

He threw the precious tea leaf into the pot. The moment the tea leaf entered the water, a strange light flashed in the water. Then, a refreshing tea fragrance spread. The fragrance was not the elegant fragrance of ordinary tea, but contained a deep and mysterious breath, as if it was the whisper of all the laws of the universe.

Jiang Ye took a deep breath, picked up the teacup, and drank the tea that contained the essence of the Wudao tea tree.

In an instant, a surge of burning energy spread out from his stomach and rushed wildly along his meridians.

His body was trembling slightly, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his eyes were closed tightly, and his consciousness seemed to be pulled into a strange space by a powerful force.

In this space, countless laws of power flickered and flowed like brilliant stars. Jiang Ye felt as if he was at the core of the universe, with all the secrets at hand.

At this moment, his soul seemed to break free from the constraints of the flesh and merge into one with the heaven and earth. Every thought he had could touch the edge of the law. The once obscure bottleneck of cultivation was now like thin paper and could be broken through with just a slight poke.

The confusion that was originally encountered when comprehending "Universe and Space" was now easily resolved.

……

It was unknown how long this lasted. When Jiang Ye slowly came back to his senses from the deep state of enlightenment, the light in his eyes was as bright as stars, as if he had experienced a reshaping and sublimation of his soul.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Jiang Ye stretched his stiff body a little, looked at the teacup in front of him and murmured: "This time the harvest is really huge!"

When reading "Universe and Space" before, Jiang Ye had gained a lot, but also had many doubts. However, now Jiang Ye has understood most of the first two volumes. For the remaining uncertain parts, Jiang Ye estimated that he only needed to comprehend the Chaos Monument once, and everything would be solved.

"I didn't expect that the effect of this Enlightenment Tea Tree is so powerful! If it can be used together with the Jade Disc of Creation, the double buff formed by the two would be..." Thinking of this, Jiang Ye's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"calm!"

Jiang Ye took a deep breath, trying to calm his turbulent emotions.

He slowly closed his eyes, trying to make his breathing even and long. Gradually, his surging emotions began to subside, returning to his former calm and depth.

Jiang Ye knew very well that this was just his wishful thinking.

In fact, there is no limit to how long one can comprehend the Jade Disc of Creation each time.

However, the longer Jiang Ye's consciousness stays in the mysterious space of the Jade Disc of Creation, the mental pressure he will endure will continue to rise, until it reaches the limit of what he can bear, and he will be ruthlessly ejected from the state of enlightenment.

But in a sense, this is also a subtle hint.

The Jade Disc of Creation simply presents and interprets the complex and mysterious changes in the laws in the most concise, clear and easy to understand way, which enables Jiang Ye to gain something and gain some insights from it.

However, as time passed quietly, the insights that Jiang Ye had previously accumulated, like the mist that gradually dissipated in the long river of time, would slowly become blurred until they were eventually forgotten.

After all, this kind of perception is only a superficial and short-lived experience, and it is difficult to leave an unforgettable mark in the depths of the soul.

It seems that I need to make a good plan. Jiang Ye stroked his chin and thought.

When you encounter problems in daily life, use the Jade Disc of Creation first. When you encounter a major bottleneck, use the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

After all, relatively speaking, it takes 100,000 years for the Enlightenment Tea Tree to regrow. Although this amount of time is just a blink of an eye for those above the immortal level, for Jiang Ye now, this time is already extremely long!
"Ding, master Lou Jiubuxiu is requesting a call! Would you like to answer it?" A crisp electronic sound suddenly rang out in the silent space. At the same time, the virtual image of the smart assistant Xiao Pi, which was flashing with a faint light, instantly appeared in front of Jiang Ye.

"Lou Jiu?"

After listening to Xiao Pi's words, Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment, then said.

"Connected!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a screen emitting soft blue light was projected in front of Jiang Ye. As the light flickered, Lou Jiu's purple face gradually emerged clearly on it.

Lou Jiu said with a serious expression: "Your Highness! We will soon arrive at the company's headquarters across the universe. Please be prepared!"

"Are we at the headquarters?" A hint of doubt flashed across Jiang Ye's eyes, and he murmured subconsciously.

However, his sharp mind started to work rapidly in an instant, and he immediately realized something. His eyes quickly swept to the display device recording the year of the universe.

When he saw the record of the passage of time clearly, Jiang Ye couldn't help but take a breath and exclaimed in his heart: Hiss, I didn't expect that this epiphany would last for two whole years.

Jiang Ye took a deep breath and said to Lou Jiu on the screen: "I understand. Thank you for telling me, senior!"

Lou Jiu nodded and immediately hung up the call.
