Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone

At this moment, the Grotto World Pearl was undergoing dramatic changes.

Inside the Grotto World Pearl, the Spiritual Qi was increasing, its concentration so dense it was almost turning into mist, condensing into liquid, directly manifesting in the void.

As he entered the Grotto World Pearl, Lu Xuanji slightly frowned, feeling a bit uncomfortable, and couldn't help but cough.

Spiritual Qi is not necessarily better the denser it is; if its quantity exceeds a certain limit, it can cause discomfort to a cultivator, much like oxygen poisoning.

Activating the Grotto World Pearl, he adjusted the concentration of the Spiritual Qi, causing it to settle underground, and gradually, the concentration began to decrease. After some time, it finally returned to normal, just right for his stage of cultivation.

Sensing the underground Spirit Vein, he noticed it was subtly changing, surpassing the limits of a Seventh-Grade Spirit Vein, and beginning to transform into an Eighth-Grade Spirit Vein.

However, this process is extremely long, possibly taking hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.

The upgrade of the Spirit Vein hinges on this little sapling in front of him.

The sapling was just over a meter tall, with nine branches on it, each with a few tender leaves, looking as if they had just emerged, appearing very young.

Its grade was Eighth-Grade.

Even though it was only in its seedling state, it exhibited a unique vitality. Its branches and leaves swayed, breaking through the void, absorbing the energy within, and converting it into strands of Vitality Power, nourishing the sapling.

At the trunk's position, it seemed to connect with the infinite void, linking to some unknown place.

The Tree of Time seemed to have changed significantly, yet not much at all.

"Ling'Er, what happened?"

Lu Xuanji asked.

Lu Yaoling spoke up: "Father, this is an Eighth-Grade Tree of Time. Your methods are so extraordinary, you've turned the impossible into possible, transforming that nearly dead old tree into an Eighth-Grade Spirit Tree! This is supreme creation, unmatched techniques, something many envy!"

Lu Xuanji laughed and asked, "So, what are the benefits?"

"The Eighth-Grade Spirit Tree, also known as the Half-Immortal Tree!" Lu Yaoling joyfully explained: "The Eighth-Grade Spirit Tree corresponds to a Dao Consolidation expert, corresponding to an Eighth-Grade Spirit Treasure. Of course, as a spirit tree, the Tree of Time doesn't have much attack power; it mainly serves as support, offering many advantages."

"First, with the Tree of Time as its foundation, it can upgrade the Spirit Vein to Eighth-Grade, and the Spiritual Qi within the Grotto Heaven will be sufficient to support Father's cultivation to a higher realm, without worrying about a lack of Spiritual Qi."

"Second, the Eighth-Grade Tree of Time blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit every three thousand years, and ripens after another three thousand years, taking ten thousand years to produce a single Time Fruit. If a Dao Consolidation expert consumes it, they can prolong their life by ten thousand years."

"Third, the Eighth-Grade Tree of Time, being a Half-Immortal Tree, its top branches already touch the barriers of the Immortal Realm and can extract Immortal Qi from it to nourish itself. Father can also harness this Immortal Qi to nourish his physique and Divine Soul. However, Father is currently too weak; Immortal Qi would be highly poisonous to him!"

"Fourth, Father can use the Tree of Time to send a trace of the Divine Soul to the Immortal Realm, perceive its entirety, grasp a thread of the Immortal Realm Laws, thereby comprehending its mysteries and stepping into the Golden Core Tenth Transformation. This is far more reliable than relying solely on the sect patriarch's invitation from the Immortal Realm through worship!"

Having seemingly awakened some of her innate memories and opened some inherited memories, Lu Yaoling spoke up about some matters concerning spirit trees.

When spirit trees reach the Eighth Grade, they will undergo significant transformation, changing their essence of life. The branches will sense the position of the Immortal Realm and draw a thread of Immortal Qi to transform their essence, gradually becoming immortal trees.

Most crucially, by using the Eighth-Grade Spirit Tree, a trace of the Divine Soul can enter the Immortal Realm, glimpse its entirety, thus stepping into the Golden Core Tenth Transformation.

If someone is present in the Immortal Realm, they can use special vessels to perform rituals for the Immortal Realm patriarch.

If the patriarch in the Immortal Realm senses this or is in a good mood, they can help guide that trace of the Divine Soul into the Immortal Realm, allowing a glimpse of its entirety.

However, this method poses significant risks.

Firstly, competition and strife abound in the Immortal Realm, and immortals can also fall. Coincidentally, if the Immortal Realm patriarch falls, the worship becomes futile.

Secondly, if the Immortal Realm patriarch happens to be in closed-door cultivation and can't attend to trivial matters in the mortal world, they might just miss it.

Finally, why would an Immortal Realm patriarch help a small fry from the Lower Realm, why would an ant-like being from the Lower Realm have the right to request assistance from an immortal?

Historically, even if those Great Immortal Sects performed rituals thousands of times, it's uncertain if they would get a single response.

It's akin to a poor lad asking a wealthy individual for help. The rich person might help if they're in a good mood, might not help if they're in a bad mood, might not have the time, or might not even receive the request for help.

The uncertainties are too many.

Therefore, the probability of the Golden Core Tenth Transformation is very low, less than one in a thousand.

This is no longer significantly related to so-called aptitude, comprehension, etc.

The key is the competition of backgrounds.

Lu Xuanji joyfully said, "So, by using the Half-Immortal Tree, I can step into the Golden Core Tenth Transformation?"

Lu Yaoling said, "Father, it's just a fifty percent probability. The Half-Immortal Tree is like a bridge connecting to the Immortal Realm. Father can use the Half-Immortal Tree to send a Divine Thought into the Immortal Realm. But if Father's Divine Soul is not strong enough, even if the Divine Thought reaches the Immortal Realm, it might still not perceive its entirety!"

"The probability is only fifty percent!"

Lu Yaoling reminded again, emphasizing it a bit more.

In case Father fails, he won't blame her!

"Fifty percent is already quite high!"

Lu Xuanji laughed, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

"Father, although the Tree of Time is small now, when it grows after a hundred years, plucking the Time Leaves to brew tea can help comprehend a thread of the Time Law." Lu Yaoling spoke again, mentioning another benefit: "And also, the old tree's remains can be forged into a Time Spiritual Treasure!"

The old tree's remains are Seventh-Grade Spiritual Materials, of extremely high grade, capable of being forged into a Seventh-Grade Spiritual Treasure.

Of course, given Lu Xuanji's level in Artifact Refining, he could at most forge a Fourth-Grade Spiritual Treasure.

Looking at these spiritual materials, Lu Xuanji's mind stirred, his hands itched to step forward and forge a treasure.

However, biting his teeth, he ultimately gave up.

Now was not the time to forge a magical treasure; no amount of treasures could compare to the importance of Cultivation.

In front of him, it's all about enhancing his cultivation.

After ensuring that Lu Yaoling would take care of everything outside, Lu Xuanji vanished from the scene.

...

"No wonder I've been wandering outside for over a decade, yet haven't encountered any fortuitous encounters... It's quite unreasonable, quite abnormal! After all, while I'm within the borders of Chu Country, my destiny is ablaze, so there should have been fortuitous encounters. Turns out, all my fortune has transferred to the Tree of Time!" Lu Xuanji pondered, sensing the mystery of destiny.

Like a withered tree finding a new spring, the nearly dying old tree striving for Nirvana Rebirth, transforming into an Eighth-Grade Spirit Tree, how incredibly difficult this is.

Even with various methods, infusing Creation Magical Power over countless years, there's only less than a thirty percent probability for successful Nirvana.

Yet now, the old tree succeeded in Nirvana Rebirth, subtly supported by his destiny in the background.
