Journey to the West: A clone sacrifices to the heavens, possessing boundless magical power.

Chapter 107 Rescue

Right at this moment.

Deep within Shen Feng's sea of ​​consciousness, the wisp of the fruit tree's essence that he had just refined suddenly began to pulsate violently.

At this moment, this wisp of energy resonated strongly with the withered fruit tree in front of them, which seemed to be rejuvenating.

boom!

A thunderclap seemed to explode in Shen Feng's mind.

All the surrounding sounds—the chanting of the Bodhisattva, the laughter of Zhenyuan Daxian, the rustling of leaves in the wind—all vanished.

His consciousness was plunged into a strange void.

In this void, there is only one tree.

A tree grows, leaves flourish, and fruit ripens; this is a sign of prosperity.

When a tree dies, its leaves fall, and its roots wither, this is called decay.

The cycle of flourishing and decay continues endlessly, a recurring cycle of life.

The "Green Wood Nourishing Spirit Technique" circulating within Shen Feng's body was originally just a basic breathing technique, its function being merely to absorb free spiritual energy to nourish spiritual herbs.

He had reached a bottleneck in this skill and could not progress any further.

But at this moment, under the influence of this cycle of life and death, the operating path of the "Green Wood Nourishing Spirit Technique" began to change on its own.

The originally calm internal energy suddenly split into two streams.

One was full of vitality, the other was lifeless.

The two streams of spiritual energy intertwined and collided in the meridians, eventually connecting end to end to form a perfect closed loop.

Click!

It was as if some invisible constraint had been broken.

The bottleneck of "Green Wood Nourishing Spirit Technique" was shattered instantly.

He directly entered the realm of perfection!

Not only that.

The moment the technique was perfected, Shen Feng's body seemed to transform into a bottomless vortex.

In the back garden, the pure spiritual energy emanating from the reviving ginseng fruit tree began to silently converge towards Shen Feng.

However, Shen Feng did not allow these spiritual energies to directly increase his cultivation level.

He understood.

"The true meaning of flourishing and decay."

Shen Feng understood immediately.

This was his biggest takeaway from the trip.

If an ordinary cultivator absorbed this much spiritual energy, their aura would surely surge, and they might even break through to a higher realm!

However, Shen Feng activated the newly comprehended essence of decay and prosperity, instantly switching the state of his body to decay.

All the immense spiritual energy he absorbed was compressed and sealed deep within his body, without leaking out even a trace.

Within his body, the sealed life force was constantly tempering his bones and meridians, accumulating terrifying power for his future outburst.

"receive."

With a thought, Shen Feng stopped the flow of his cultivation technique.

He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock. Meanwhile, the conversation in the back garden was still going on.

"Great Immortal, the fruit tree has survived. Can Wukong's sins be considered absolved?" The Bodhisattva put away the jade bottle and looked at Zhenyuan Daxian.

Zhenyuan Daxian nodded: "Of course, the Great Sage knocked down my tree and should have been severely punished, but since the Bodhisattva has healed him, this cause and effect is considered settled. Not only that, I also want to become sworn brothers with the Great Sage to show my respect."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong chuckled and said, "You old Taoist priest, you're quite straightforward. In that case, I'll acknowledge you as my elder brother!"

Tang Sanzang chanted Buddhist mantras on the side, his face full of satisfaction.

Zhenyuan Daxian turned around, looked at the tree full of fruit, and was in a great mood.

"Gentle breeze, bright moon."

"Disciple is here."

"Go and bring down some fruit. Today I'm going to hold a ginseng fruit feast to entertain Master Tang and his disciples. It can be said that we became friends through a fight."

Qingfeng and Mingyue accepted the order and took the golden mallet to knock down the fruit.

Zhenyuan Daxian then looked at the disciples and servants around him.

"The fruit trees have revived today, a cause for great joy. You may all step down for now; rewards will be given later!"

"Thank you so much, Master!"

The disciples bowed in gratitude and withdrew one by one.

Shen Feng mingled in the crowd, carrying a wooden basin, and walked out of the back garden with his head down. At the moment of his breakthrough, several faint divine senses swept over him, though he was unsure if it was just his imagination.

Walk through the corridor and return to the courtyard of the Earth Spirit Herb Garden.

Shen Feng walked to the bedside and sat down cross-legged.

Only now did he completely release the suppression of his internal energy.

hum!

A powerful surge of spiritual energy emanated from his body, but before it touched the walls of the room, he instantly withdrew it using the True Meaning of Withering and Flourishing.

It can be controlled and released at will.

Shen Feng looked inward into his sea of ​​consciousness and saw that the spiritual energy within his body had turned into a ball of cyan.

Although his cultivation level is still at the early stage of Refining Spirit, the richness of his spiritual energy is comparable to that of the middle stage of Refining Spirit, and it is inexhaustible with an extremely fast recovery speed.

"The Complete Book of Nourishing the Spirit with Green Wood" reveals the true meaning of life and death.

A smile appeared on Shen Feng's lips.

With this true meaning of life and death, his clone's survival and concealment abilities underwent a qualitative leap.

Shen Feng closed his eyes and began to slowly digest what he had gained from this epiphany. At the same time, through the connection of the [Primordial Myriad Manifestations Mirror], the understanding of the true meaning of decay and prosperity was transmitted to his body without reservation.

The main body also benefited greatly, and the value of the clone Shen Feng increased many times over, so Fan Yuan naturally would not destroy it easily again.

Wuzhuang Temple, main hall.

The air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, and the bells and chimes rang out in unison.

Zhenyuan Daxian hosted a grand banquet, inviting Guanyin Bodhisattva to sit in the seat of honor, the Three Star Gods of Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity to sit in the guest seats, and Tang Sanzang and his disciples to sit with Daxian as host and guest.

Qingfeng and Mingyue carried the elixir tray and walked out from the back garden.

On the plate was a silk handkerchief, on which ten ginseng fruits were neatly arranged. The fruits looked like three-day-old children, with all four limbs and facial features, and exuded a refreshing aura.

One was used for the Bodhisattva and one for the three stars.

Zhen Yuanzi looked at Tang Sanzang and gestured: "Elder Tang, please. This fruit is the Herb Rejuvenation Pill. A mortal can live for 360 years by smelling it and 47,000 years by eating one. You are the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi and are a mortal in this life. This is perfect for you to build your foundation."

Tang Sanzang put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist prayer. Previously, he had seen that the fruit looked like an infant and dared not eat it. Now that he knew the reason and saw that even the Bodhisattva had eaten it, he no longer refused.

He picked up a ginseng fruit and bit through its skin.

The fruit pulp melts in your mouth, transforming into a powerful, refreshing energy that rushes straight to your internal organs.

Tang Sanzang shuddered, his eyes closed tightly. A golden light emanated from his body, and wisps of grayish-black turbid air seeped from his pores. This was the acquired impurities within the mortal body.

In just a few breaths, the turbid air dissipated, and the golden light receded inward.

When Tang Sanzang opened his eyes again, his eyes were clear, his skin was like jade, and his breath carried a faint spiritual energy.

A single ginseng fruit transformed his mortal body, cleansing it of its marrow and bones, into a flawless form, laying the foundation for longevity.

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing each ate one.

Seeing this, Zhenyuan Daxian stroked his beard and laughed. He stood up and walked to Sun Wukong: "Great Sage, you knocked down my fruit tree and then invited the Bodhisattva to revive it. We've truly become friends through this fight. Today, in front of the Bodhisattva and the Three Stars, let's formally become sworn brothers!"

Sun Wukong scratched his ears and cheeks, chuckling, "I couldn't be happier!"

The two immediately burned incense in front of the hall and became sworn brothers.

Inside the hall, people clinked glasses, discussed philosophical matters, and chatted about profound truths in a harmonious atmosphere.

While the grand banquet was in full swing in the front hall, the spirit herb garden in the back was eerily silent.

All the disciples' attention was drawn to the commotion in the front hall. In addition, the fruit trees had just revived, and the energy of the Wanshou Mountain's veins was churning violently. The spiritual energy fluctuations throughout the Wuzhuang Temple were like boiling water, chaotic and disorderly.

Shen Feng sat cross-legged on the stone bed and opened his eyes.

"Now."

He got up, got out of bed, and pushed open the door to go out.
