Chapter 61: Converting Spiritual Power

“Boom!”

At the very instant the Green Wood Spirit Seed successfully condensed, Chen Beiwu’s mind trembled, and a droplet of water slid down before his eyes.

“Drip drip drip!”

Rainwater poured down.

Chen Beiwu looked up and realized that these droplets were not ordinary water, but the essence secreted by the Path to Heavenly Immortality Tree, imbued with the Dao's rhythm of eternal vitality between heaven and earth.

‘The highest good is like water. Water benefits all things without contending; hence, it can generate wood.’

‘Water flows unpredictably and is the essence of Yuan Qi, tolerant of all things. Wood can embody the virtue of water, thus wood can also give rise to water.’

As Chen Beiwu comprehended this truth, the world began to transform.

The vast, boundless sea was no longer calm—it roared with a might that could shake all creation.

As the sea level surged higher and higher, submerging all things, countless currents turned into groups of dragons, racing to coil around the Path to Heavenly Immortality Tree.

In that moment, the world became a domain of water.

In the next instant, the tree canopy that once covered the sky began to collapse. Its drooping branches dissolved into blue-golden sap and merged into the sea, while the towering Path to Heavenly Immortality Tree crumbled as well, fusing with the endless abyss.

In this scene, Chen Beiwu’s spirit at times transformed into a deathless, ever-thriving immortal tree, and at times into myriad converging rivers that accepted the birth and extinction of all things.

“Splash!”

As the echo of flowing rivers rang in Chen Beiwu’s ears, a Clear Spring Spirit Seed quietly appeared in his dantian.

“Whew.”

Chen Beiwu exhaled a breath of turbid air, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Wasn't it said that Legendary-Grade Cultivation Methods were extremely difficult to cultivate?

How had he, right after receiving it, already succeeded in its initiation, and even easily condensed the two crucial Spirit Seeds of the All Laws Converge, Heaven Book of the Divine Tree?

Could it be that he was one of those peerless prodigies, one in a million, with heaven-defying comprehension?

Snuffing out such delusions, Chen Beiwu activated his divine sense and reached toward the All Laws Converge, Heaven Book of the Divine Tree glowing resplendently above his sea of consciousness.

‘As expected, I was overthinking it.’

After reading the cultivation method’s description, Chen Beiwu immediately understood.

The All Laws Converge, Heaven Book of the Divine Tree had a unique inheritance. Those with sufficient aptitude could condense the Green Wood and Clear Spring Spirit Seeds simply by comprehending its true essence.

On the other hand, those lacking in aptitude, even if they meditated on the method’s essence for a full month, would be unable to condense a single Spirit Seed.

He had merely succeeded in crossing the entry threshold for studying the Heaven Book. It did not mean his comprehension was exceptional.

True peerless geniuses compatible with the All Laws Converge, Heaven Book of the Divine Tree could even awaken special Dao Physiques during the condensation of Spirit Seeds.

‘So this is what real geniuses are like—monstrous indeed!’

Chen Beiwu shook his head, then pulled out the Spirit Beast Pouch and summoned Gold Egg.

“Gurgle.” Gold Egg flicked its tail, a bit uncomfortable in a place devoid of water.

“Don’t resist. Calm your breath and focus. It’ll be over soon.”

As he spoke, Chen Beiwu activated the cultivation method and extracted the Green Wood and Clear Spring Spirit Seeds. Through the link of the Companion Contract, he implanted them atop Gold Egg’s Law Meridian.

Gold Egg had average sentience but extremely strong Attribute Meridians.

With the help of the Green Wood and Clear Spring Spirit Seeds, its aptitude should be sufficient to cultivate the Heaven Book.

“Gurgle?”

Sensing two foreign objects suddenly within its body, Gold Egg blew a bubble, a look of confusion in its eyes.

Soon after, under the guidance of Chen Beiwu’s divine sense, it entered a trance-like state of cultivation, instinctively circulating the All Laws Converge, Heaven Book of the Divine Tree based on the essence infused by the Spirit Seeds.

An hour passed quickly.

Chen Beiwu ended the guidance, a trace of fatigue in his eyes.

Fine, he admitted it—he had overestimated Gold Egg’s intelligence.

Even though the Green Wood and Clear Spring Spirit Seeds contained his own comprehension of the Heaven Book, Gold Egg still couldn’t understand its true essence. It could only instinctively circulate its meridians, so it took a whole hour to refine just a wisp of Clearwood Spiritual Power.

At this rate, it would take at least a month for Gold Egg to fully convert its internal beast power into Clearwood Spiritual Power—half a month longer than converting it using the Ten Thousand Beasts Manual.

‘Slow is fine too,’ Chen Beiwu thought as he glanced at the flustered Gold Egg.

The Heaven Book was abstruse and complex. Without his divine sense guiding it, Gold Egg had no idea how to cultivate. It could only absorb heaven and earth essence based on bloodline instinct.

This was a common scenario during the early stages of Companion Beasts cultivating human cultivation methods.

After all, cultivation methods were created for human cultivators. Very few Companion Beasts could naturally resonate with them, so Chen Beiwu wasn’t surprised.

Once Gold Egg mastered the Heaven Book and completely transformed its internal beast power into Clearwood Spiritual Power, it would complete the Companion Transformation.

By then, not only would Gold Egg’s cultivation speed using the All Laws Converge, Heaven Book of the Divine Tree skyrocket, even its innate arts might undergo transformation under the enhancement of a Legendary-Grade Cultivation Method—forming a Companion Beast Seal infused with the Dao's rhythm of heaven and earth.

With the power of that Beast Seal, Chen Beiwu could wield Gold Egg’s innate arts as his own. A single thought would let him easily unleash the two peerless Second-Tier Spiritual Arts—Sea-Absorbing Spiritual Technique and Flowing Gold Scales, boosting his combat strength tremendously.

Stowing Gold Egg back into the Spirit Beast Pouch, Chen Beiwu activated the Gate of Ten Directions and returned to his cultivation residence in Biyuan Market.

To avoid mishaps, he had not gone to the Southern Wastes, but had instead stayed home to comprehend the Heaven Book.

Now that he had initiated the Heaven Book, Chen Beiwu needed to quickly restore the two missing Spirit Seeds. Naturally, he would have to cultivate in a place rich in spiritual energy.

…

The next morning, Biyuan Market.

Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, ending a full day and night of cultivation.

As if two tigers couldn’t coexist on one mountain, the Green Wood and Clear Spring Spirit Seeds he had re-condensed through comprehension of the method's essence were actually converting the Ten Thousand Beasts Manual’s spiritual power on their own.

At this cultivation pace, Chen Beiwu would only need ten days to fully convert all the Ten Thousand Beasts spiritual power in his dantian and qi sea into incredibly pure Clearwood Spiritual Power.

‘Legendary-Grade Cultivation Methods truly are extraordinary,’ Chen Beiwu thought, observing the Clearwood Spiritual Power surging in his palm.

Unlike the balanced and moderate Ten Thousand Beasts Manual, which had average power, the All Laws Converge, Heaven Book of the Divine Tree was better suited for cultivators with dual Water and Wood Spiritual Roots and allowed for faster cultivation.

If he previously used the Ten Thousand Beasts Manual to absorb heaven and earth essence for one day, circulating 360 macro cycles to refine one unit of Ten Thousand Beasts spiritual power—

Then now, cultivating the Heaven Book under the same conditions, he could refine three units of Clearwood Spiritual Power in a single day.

It must be noted that the purity and power of Clearwood Spiritual Power far surpassed that of the Ten Thousand Beasts spiritual power.

This disparity wasn’t merely threefold—it amounted to a difference of seven to eightfold, a gulf as wide as a heavenly chasm.

Beyond that, what Chen Beiwu valued most were the two unique traits of Clearwood Spiritual Power—Lifespan Extension and Breath Reversal.

As the names suggested, the Lifespan Extension trait of Clearwood Spiritual Power could greatly prolong Chen Beiwu’s life, far beyond others of his realm.

A typical Qi Refining cultivator’s lifespan ranged between 150 and 200 years, while Foundation Establishment cultivators lived between 300 and 500 years.

However, a Qi Refining cultivator who practiced the All Laws Converge, Heaven Book of the Divine Tree could enjoy a lifespan of up to 250 years—only fifty years less than an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

As for the Breath Reversal trait of Clearwood Spiritual Power, it significantly enhanced Chen Beiwu’s spiritual recovery speed.

Whenever he used magical treasures or activated techniques, a portion of his spiritual power would naturally regenerate.
