Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

Chapter 118 Fruit

As massive amounts of spiritual energy surged into the various Cave Heaven Worlds, Fang Ming began to wholeheartedly refine these massive amounts of spiritual energy.

For the current him, the key constraint on his realm's growth was merely the lack of external resources; his own cultivation wasn't the issue.

Back when he was with Old Devil, he had already evolved a Small World.

Theoretically, if external resources were sufficient, Fang Ming could evolve all of his Cave Heaven Worlds into Small Worlds without any hindrance.

Currently, his accumulation has reached its limit.

He hasn't yet touched the limit of the Small World, or even the Small Thousand World.

Massive amounts of spiritual energy poured into the Cave Heaven, and as they were continuously absorbed and refined, the scale of these Cave Heavens also expanded little by little.

As the scale expanded, their origin also strengthened accordingly. Innumerable order and laws naturally evolved and were born, and Fang Ming's strength also gradually increased.

For a Cave Heaven to be promoted to a Small World, the required energy is extremely vast.

Back when he was with Old Devil, he also relied on the green liquid supply from the palm heaven bottle to successfully achieve the evolution of a Small World.

That was because the green liquid itself contained extremely powerful energy.

Outside, the cultivators who entered this place were initially extremely panicked after discovering the ten whirlpools in the vast ocean.

However, as Time passed, they discovered that the whirlpools were only swallowing seawater, and their courage grew.

Some even attempted to explore what was at the center of the whirlpools.

However, no matter how high the cultivation of the people who went to explore, or what kind of secret treasures they possessed, none of them ever returned.

After multiple attempts and heavy losses, the numerous cultivators designated the location of the ten giant whirlpools as a forbidden area, and no one dared to approach again.

In the inner world, Fang Ming sat cross-legged in the void. As the Cave Heaven World continuously grew, all sorts of wondrous Dao naturally appeared in his mind. His cultivation increased on its own, completely without the need for him to comprehend.

"This feeling is really good!" Fang Ming said with a smile, very satisfied.

Indeed, the growth rate of the Cave Heaven World was not fast, but it was self-growth and didn't require him to worry.

Currently, he could even comprehend the Dao and cultivate without needing to worry about anything else.

However, Fang Ming didn't plan to do this. For now, simple Dao comprehension and cultivation didn't help him much.

For him, a thousand years of comprehending the Dao was not as good as going to the Upper Realm. With the blessing of the Great Thousand World's Heavenly Dao origin, his cultivation would naturally increase.

The Heavenly Dao origin of the Lower Realm was already of little help to him.

With a thought, a golden radiance broke through the air, which was precisely the three-foot-long branch of the solar Immortal Tree.

After leaving the Yang Extreme Cave, without the solar energy for it to absorb, this section of the branch returned to normal.

Three feet long, the entire body radiated golden brilliance, and golden innate patterns could be vaguely seen imprinted on the branch. The inch-sized golden leaves were like miniature suns, emitting a hazy golden radiance.

Holding the golden branch, Fang Ming carefully sensed it.

After a while, he shook his head slightly and muttered to himself, "This branch is indeed devoid of vitality."

Although he didn't hold out much hope, he still dripped two drops of returning yang true water onto the branch, and then dripped two drops of palm heaven bottle green liquid onto it.

Then, after observing it carefully for a while, he finally became truly certain that this section of the Immortal Tree could no longer sprout.

He wasn't too disappointed, because this section of the Immortal Tree branch was originally an unexpected gain.

If it could sprout again, it would naturally be a huge surprise, but if it couldn't sprout and regenerate, it was also normal.

Putting this section of the Immortal Tree branch aside, Fang Ming's figure appeared in the Cave Heaven World where the pseudo world tree sapling was planted.

Although these Cave Heaven Worlds were real worlds, they were essentially his real realms, so his will could naturally manifest in the Cave Heaven World at will.

With a thought, ripples appeared in space, and another drop of green liquid fell, accurately landing on the pseudo world tree sapling.

A spiritual energy vortex appeared, and pure spiritual energy surged in, being continuously swallowed by this sapling.

Before long, this sapling had grown another inch taller.

"The growth rate has slowed down. The effect of one drop of green liquid is equivalent to two hundred years of growth, and now it has only grown by one inch." Fang Ming frowned.

The ripening effect of the green liquid mainly comes from the power of Time it contains, while the power of creation is responsible for providing energy.

At first, the effect of one drop of green liquid was still very obvious, but now it seems to have weakened a bit.

The reason he said 'seems' was because Fang Ming didn't know if this sapling was about to reach its growth limit.

Or, as the sapling grew, the effect of the green liquid weakened.

Theoretically, the ripening effect is produced after the power of Time is added, and it shouldn't change due to the quality of the spiritual plant being ripened.

After all, when he was an Immortal Vine, the effect on himself was essentially no different from other spiritual medicines.

It was just that the past him had pocketed most of the green liquid.

"Let's try again. Anyway, I still have a lot of green liquid in my hand." Thinking of this, Fang Ming dripped another drop of green liquid onto it.

Fang Ming had great expectations for this pseudo world tree sapling.

Half a month later, Fang Ming looked at the small tree about four feet tall in front of him, revealing a thoughtful expression.

In front of him, the pseudo world tree was now about four feet tall, hazy and enveloped in a white mist of immortal energy.

It could be vaguely seen that its leaves were verdant, like the most perfect jade.

The small tree naturally grew three branched forks. Innate dragon patterns were faintly visible on the gray trunk, possessing a special aura of the Great Dao.

At the top of the main trunk of the small tree, there was a finger-sized, completely emerald green fruit.

"It has borne fruit!" Fang Ming was a little surprised.

Yesterday, after dripping a drop of green liquid, he left to study the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Technique.

When he came back today, he saw this unripe fruit.

Although the fruit was unripe, there was an indescribable fragrance spreading, giving people a feeling of wanting to ascend and become immortal, as if eating this fruit would allow them to instantly become an Immortal.

Even though this was just a clone, he could clearly 'smell' that fragrance, which was so unforgettable.

The fragrance not only acted on the physical body but also on consciousness and divine sense.

"Immortal Medicine?" The light in the eyes of Fang Ming's clone was bright, wanting to see clearly.

Unfortunately, this fruit was covered with innate patterns, and he couldn't see the profound mysteries within it at all.

"It would be great if I could probe into it with my divine sense and truly observe the growth of the fruit." Fang Ming felt very regretful.

If this was an Immortal Medicine, it would definitely contain boundless profound mysteries.

Some Immortal Medicines have extremely powerful effects, such as the Heavenly Immortal Tree, and the flat peach of King Pan. These Immortal Medicines, after being consumed, can allow people to instantly become Immortals, which is terrifying.

Although that is the weakest kind of Immortal, it is still a genuine True Immortal!

The fruits borne by this type of Immortal Medicine are almost equivalent to the 'Dao Fruit' cultivated by oneself.

If one could observe the process of an Immortal Medicine fruit from unripe to ripe, it would undoubtedly be a great opportunity.

That would be equivalent to observing the condensation process of a True Immortal Dao Fruit!

The True Immortals of this realm are already considered to have half-stepped beyond the Great Chiliocosm Universe.

"This fruit..." Fang Ming looked at the unripe fruit and fell into contemplation.

After a while, he whispered, "Perhaps this pseudo world tree is not a pseudo world tree at all, but an Immortal Medicine..."

Immortal Medicines are not indivisible. There are many examples proving that Immortal Medicines can be divided.

For example, the Dao Comprehension Immortal Tea Tree, which was once the ancestral spiritual root of a realm, was divided by someone, turning into two Immortal Tea Trees.

One is in the Other Realm, and one is in the Burial Region.

After being divided, both trees were Immortal Trees, although their effects were significantly weakened.

As for the one who 'sells fake medicine', he even divided a powerful Immortal Medicine into six, and then divided himself into six and merged into it.

After that Immortal Medicine was divided into six, it was still an Immortal Medicine.

As for the Heavenly Immortal Tree, that's a counterexample. Perhaps the Heavenly Immortal Tree wasn't strong enough. After being divided into four, it was downgraded to four Heavenly God trees.

Therefore, theoretically, this tree cultivated by Fang Ming from a piece of kun wood from the world tree is actually very likely to be an Immortal Medicine.

Besides being born naturally, the world tree can also evolve later.

Essentially, it is higher than Immortal Medicine.

Therefore, the possibility that the small tree cultivated from a piece of kun wood from the world tree is an Immortal Medicine is extremely high!

"Based on the current observation, it is very likely an Immortal Tree!" After observing carefully for a while longer, Fang Ming became more and more convinced that his conjecture was correct.

Let alone Immortal Medicines, even divine medicines are not recorded in the ancient texts of the Lower Realm.

Their rank was judged entirely by Fang Ming based on his past impressions, so it was naturally difficult to distinguish them accurately.

"If it's an Immortal Medicine..." Fang Ming's eyes gradually became fervent.

Immortal Medicines have infinite wondrous uses and possess incredible effects.

Different Immortal Medicines have different effects, but they also have common points, which is that they contain unusually vast amounts of longevity substances and have extremely strong healing abilities.

Undoubtedly, the fruits borne by Immortal Medicines are truly immortal treasures in the true sense.

Regardless of the type of Immortal Medicine, it must contain extremely vast energy and profound Dao laws.

"If it's an Immortal Medicine that can significantly boost cultivation and allow one to ascend to the heavens in one step, like the Heavenly Immortal Fruit or the flat peach Immortal Medicine, that would be great." Fang Ming muttered softly, full of anticipation.

Immortal Medicines like the Heavenly Immortal Fruit and the flat peach Immortal Medicine have stronger effects than ordinary Immortal Medicines, containing unimaginable innate essence and Dao fruits. By refining them, his Cave Heaven World will definitely be able to grow at a speed comparable to ascension.

The cultivation system of his Cave Heaven World, at its current stage, relies on external objects. Relying on himself to absorb spiritual energy and comprehend the Great Dao, the speed of advancement will inevitably be extremely slow.

Normal cultivators who become Immortals through Immortal Medicine will inevitably be the weakest True Immortals, and they will no longer have the possibility of further progress, which is a side effect.

However, Fang Ming's Cave Heaven World system can cleverly avoid this side effect.

The Cave Heaven World is a real realm world. Refining Immortal Medicine is no different from refining other heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Compared to the current cultivation system and even the subsequent secret realm system, he can refine treasures that can greatly improve his cultivation realm, such as this Immortal Medicine, without any worries, and without worrying about the side effect of being unable to continue improving his cultivation later.

Having the green liquid in hand means that he can obtain a certain number of Immortal Medicine fruits in a short period of Time.

At that Time, regardless of the effect of the fruit, with the fruit's vast energy and contained Dao laws, it will not be a problem for him to soar into the sky.
