Su Mu put away the Yellow Middle Plum rewarded by the system and began to refine it.
Now that he was at the third level of the Golden Immortal realm, he hoped to rely on refining this Yellow Middle Plum to advance to the Perfected Golden Immortal realm.
Using innate spiritual roots to increase one's strength was different from directly consuming merit points to increase one's strength.
As mentioned before, using merit to increase one's strength would eventually lead to the path of merit becoming a saint.
In the future, Hongjun's six disciples would become six Saints.
The weakest one was Zhunti, who had made 48 great wishes and borrowed a sum of merit from the Way of Heaven to become a Sage, followed by Goddess Nvywa.
Of course, Jieyin, who had also become a saint, was only slightly stronger than the two of them.
Su Mu didn't want to walk the path of becoming a saint with the weakest merit.
The Yellow Middle Plum was one of the ten innate spiritual roots, and the power contained within it was incomparably powerful.
If he refined all of them at once, he would probably be malnourished.
Su Mu chose to be refined bit by bit.
Two hundred years had passed, and he had refined ten percent of it.
Just 10% had increased his strength from the third level of the Golden Immortal realm to the seventh level of the Golden Immortal realm.
After reaching the seventh level of the Golden Immortal realm, Su Mu's body began to grow.
When he transmigrated, he was originally only a willow tree that was five meters tall and half a meter thick.
Now, Su Mu was more than 300 meters tall and more than 20 meters thick.
Back when the Longhan Cultivation Tribulation smashed into Mount Meru, the dark corner that had collapsed had long been opened up by his tree trunk.
After staying in a dark corner for countless years, he finally saw the light of day again.
Things were different now. Su Mu, this hollow willow, stood on Mount Meru.
It was in broad daylight now!
After seeing the light of day again, he immediately released his divine sense to sense the surrounding environment.
After so many years, he wanted to know what his current environment was like.
Under the perception of his divine sense, the surroundings were extremely desolate.
He was the only living being in the entire mountain range.
"This Mount Meru is truly a barren land.”
"No wonder Jieyin and Zhunti have been scheming against Dongfang!”
"However, the western world is now my home!”
Su Mu remembered that Jieyin Zhunti cheated Hongyun's seat when he first preached in Zixiao Palace.
The reason they used was that they had come from the distant and barren west, and had rushed for a long time without a seat.
He even said that since that was the case, it was better to die.
Ignoring their shameless act of pretending to be miserable, at least they said that they had rushed there from the Barrenlands of the West.
There were still 700 years before Hongjun lectured in the Purple Cloud Palace.
Su Mu had yet to meet the two brothers.
It was probably coming soon!
Forget about them for now. It was more important to continue cultivating in seclusion to increase his strength!
In the blink of an eye, 300 years had passed.
Su Mu refined another 10% of the Yellow Middle Plum, and his cultivation reached the second level of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm.
With the help of the Eight Nine Mysteries, the complete refinement of Pangu's blood essence, and the help of the innate spirit root, the Yellow Middle Plum.
All of these factors added up, making Su Mu's cultivation notification thousands of times more than when he ate the small willow tree.
The improvement in strength in several hundred years far surpassed the speed of the entire Longhan Cultivation Tribulation.
The hollow willow had grown a lot bigger.
Now, Su Mu was more than 800 meters tall and 100 meters thick.
The withered branches from before had already grown into tens of thousands of willow branches that were a few meters thick.
These willow branches covered with tender green willow leaves were his hands.
The third level of the Primordial Immortal realm was such a huge willow tree. If it had not transformed at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm…
Then wouldn't Su Mu's body cover the sky?
The better the root, the later the transformation.
Su Mu's original body was a hollow willow after Great Immortal Yang Mei's death, and his roots had been enhanced by Pangu's blood essence.
Presumably, he would transform even later than Great Immortal Yang Mei?
It was just that he did not know when he had transformed.
"Continue to work hard!"
Su Mu had just sensed the changes in his body and planned to continue his closed-door cultivation.
At this moment, the system sent out a notification.
"Detected that your strength has already increased to the second level of the Primordial Immortal realm. You have the following choices.”
" One: uproot yourself, pass through the chaotic turbulence, cross the 33 Heavens Beyond, listen to the Dao in the Purple Cloud Palace, prove your strength to Hongjun, and be rewarded with a twelfth-grade World Cleansing White Lotus!”
" Two: Go into seclusion to cultivate. It's more important to increase your strength. Reward: 1,000,000 merit points and 12 Ocean-Pacifying Divine Pearls!”
The system wants me to prove my strength to Hongjun again?
Su Mu frowned.
He felt that he might have formed karma with Hongjun.
The other party was a Saint, while he was only a Primordial Immortal. He did not know if this was a good cause or a bad result.
After thinking about it again and again, the reason came out.
"The only place where I can have karma with Hongjun is probably the death of Rahu.”
"I see!"
Su Mu did not think too much about it. The karma had already been formed, so he did not care about the follow-up for the time being.
Increasing his strength was the most important!
Choose two!
"Ding! One million merit points have been distributed!"
"Ding! The twelve Divine Sea Steadying Pearls have been distributed!"
The Divine Sea Calming Pearl!
As soon as Su Mu took it, he immediately started playing with it.
There were a total of thirty-six Ocean-Pacifying Pearls, which were considered middle-grade Connate Numinous treasures.
If he gathered all thirty-six of them, it would be a supreme-grade Connate Numinous treasure.
This item can be used to set up the Connate Ocean Overturning Formation!
During the God Sealing Tribulation, Zhao Gongming of Jie School only used 24 Sea-Pacifying Divine Pearls to defeat Chan School. Even Heavenly Lord Yuanshi was invited.
If not for the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, who was already a Saint at that time, bullying the weak, Zhao Gongming would have been invincible!
The other 24 should be in the hands of School Master Tongtian later.
Su Mu wasn't sure about the current situation.
Actually, this thing had a magical effect.
The Divine Sea Calming Pearl could be used to open up the heavens, and each heaven represented a small world.
Opening up a heaven could grant one the power of a small world.
Just imagine, when the battle started, what would it be like to hold an Earth in your hand and smash it?
Although this analogy was not vivid, one could roughly determine the true power of the Divine Sea Calming Pearl.
However, he needed to gather all of them.
It was Su Mu's first time getting a magic weapon, and he was very happy.
At this moment, the system sent out a notification.
When he heard it, he realized that it was about Jieyin Zhunti.
Those two thick-faced people were here!
