Primordial Era: I am the Bull Demon King, the First Demon of All Time

Chapter 56 Earth Immortal Heavenly Tribulation, isn't that insignificant!

Despite its unpleasant taste, the rich spiritual energy contained within the fruit quickly permeated the entire body.

This effect even surpassed that of the Enlightenment Fruit, which Chen Jing had previously praised.

"The Ten Innate Spiritual Roots truly live up to their reputation!"

Chen Jing felt as if he were immersed in a vast ocean of spiritual energy, with a large amount of spiritual energy surging into his eight extraordinary meridians and spreading throughout his body.

Once he mobilized his primordial spirit, he began to refine the intense spiritual energy with all his might.

Time flows through the mountains regardless of years.

Soon, several hundred years passed.

The rich spiritual energy of the Huangzhong plum fruit, under Chen Jing's refinement, has gradually transformed into his magical power.

Once all the spiritual energy was absorbed, his cultivation level as a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal rose again, propelling him towards the late-stage Great Luo realm.

Chen Jing opened his eyes, a satisfied expression on his face. The effects of the Huangzhong plum fruit far exceeded his expectations.

Despite his rapid increase in strength, the opponents he encountered also became stronger.

After defeating Xing Tian and killing Ji Meng, he was physically weak but filled with ecstasy.

Finally, we have reached this point, able to compete with giants that have existed for millions of years in the primordial world.

However, the moment the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun appeared, even without making a move, his terrifying aura alone made him lose his footing, and the last bit of joy in his heart was instantly destroyed.

Chen Jing had no doubt that if his master hadn't been a saint, Di Jun would have killed him on the spot without hesitation.

He got to where he is today thanks to his ruthlessness and indomitable spirit.

Even when facing the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun, he would never yield.

In the primordial world, strength is always paramount. Sages and masters can only serve as a last resort; one can rely on them, but never depend on them.

Even a sage cannot continuously monitor every corner of the primordial world.

To survive in the wilderness, one must forge one's own path.

Relying on others to face danger will inevitably lead to disaster sooner or later, and it's not Chen Jing's style.

After absorbing the spiritual power of the Huangzhong plum fruit, his primordial spirit's magical power greatly increased, but this did not satisfy him.

Having tasted the sweetness, their attention turned to the eight fruits in the small world.

Chen Jing took out another Huangzhong plum and ate it directly.

The familiar bitter taste filled his mouth, and he thought the light fragrance was fake.

Like a rose, it is beautiful on the surface, but hides thorns on the back.

The effects of the fruit were indeed astonishing.

After Chen Jing ate the second fruit, his spiritual energy rapidly spread throughout his body. He immediately concentrated his energy and used his primordial spirit to refine this spiritual energy.

During the refining process, Chen Jing's primordial spirit power significantly increased.

However, the enhancement effect this time was not as significant as that of the first fruit, which disappointed him.

Chen Jing had originally hoped that the nine fruits would allow him to reach the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm or even higher, but now it seems that this hope has been dashed.

Some medicinal herbs and fruits are only effective on the first use, and have no effect on subsequent uses.

Now, he has experienced it firsthand.

Nevertheless, the second yellow plum was not entirely ineffective; it was just that the enhancing effect was weaker.

Even so, after absorbing the two fruits, Chen Jing's primordial spirit power had increased several times compared to before.

Only a thousand years have passed, and although he is still in the middle stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, his magical power has increased several times compared to before.

For other Great Luo Golden Immortals over the past thousand years, this might have been just a short period of seclusion, or even a period without any significant enlightenment, but Chen Jing achieved a remarkable improvement.

He was dissatisfied with the effects of the Huangzhong plum fruit and was very angry.

If other cultivators from the primordial world knew about this, they would surely curse him for being too greedy.

Obtaining a fruit with such an innate spiritual root is already an immense opportunity, yet they still complain incessantly.

Although the second fruit is less effective, it is still fundamentally different from absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Chen Jing took out the third fruit, swallowed it in one gulp, and continued refining it.

As the third fruit was refined, the magical power in his primordial spirit gradually overflowed, like water in a bottle.

When the spiritual energy of the third fruit was absorbed and transformed into magical power, the water in the bottle had filled to the neck of the bottle.

The third Huangzhong plum was much less effective than the second.

Chen Jing believed that, if it weren't for other factors interfering, these three heaven-defying spiritual fruits would have been enough to help him break through to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

However, now, Chen Jingming clearly saw the late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm beckoning to him, but he was always just a little short.

At the same time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth thousands of miles outside Chen Jing's cave was being drawn to the sky above the cave as if by a vast ocean.

Eventually, a vortex of spiritual energy formed above the cave.

This unusual phenomenon caught Mo Lin's attention.

He glanced at Chen Jing's secluded cave, then turned to speak to a girl in a white dress.

"Uncle Lin, what powerful martial arts technique does the master practice?"

"Look, he has absorbed all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around here."

On a boulder outside the cave, a girl in a white dress asked directly.

"Master is a disciple of a sage, so his cultivation method is naturally extraordinary."

"You should also hurry up and cultivate. The master gave me a task before he went into seclusion."

"If you haven't reached the Earth Immortal realm by the time he emerges from seclusion, then I, Uncle Lin, am in trouble."

Mo Lin faced the girl in the white dress and said with a bitter face.

"When the master came back, I was dozing off and didn't notice, and I already felt that I had made a mistake once."

"I must complete the task assigned to me by the master this time."

The girl in the white dress is the little girl Chen Jing once saved.

Thousands of years have passed, and that little girl has grown up into a graceful young woman, radiating a spiritual aura.

Apart from the remnants of her past in her brows, she was completely unrecognizable as a former ordinary girl.

This change is likely because she cultivated for over four hundred years in the celestial energy of the Huangzhong plum tree.

The girl possessed abundant spiritual energy and extraordinary cultivation aptitude. Over the course of thousands of years, she had cultivated from a mortal to the late stage of a human immortal.

"Uncle Lin, if I continue to cultivate, I'm afraid the Heavenly Tribulation will be upon me, and I don't want to be struck by lightning again."

The girl's face showed a pitiful expression, and she couldn't help but tremble as she recalled the heavenly tribulation she suffered when she broke through to become a human immortal.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Mo Lin would probably have softened and agreed to her request if he hadn't been intimidated by Chen Jing's instructions.

Chen Jing almost always hid in his cave to cultivate in seclusion, while Mo Lin lacked that kind of perseverance.

Since his master brought back that girl, Mo Lin has indeed gained a lot of happiness over the past thousand years.

He felt extremely proud to watch this ordinary little girl grow up under his guidance.

"Don't let Uncle Lin get into trouble again. You humans are born with Dao bodies and don't need to go through the pain of transformation."

"Looking back, Uncle Lin secluded himself for millions of years to cultivate, and almost died during the Transformation Tribulation."

"Compared to that calamity, your Earth Immortal Heavenly Tribulation is utterly insignificant."

"Alright then, I'll go practice for a while longer."

After the little girl finished speaking, she leaped lightly, jumping down from the rock several meters high, landing steadily on the ground, and walking away into the distance.
