Chapter 776, Three Flowers

Chapter 776 - Three Blossoms
The visit of the Heavenly Demon Emperor did not cause any ripples.
Fu Henghua and Fu Xuanxing remained calm and continued to cooperate with Li Pu and others in the busy "Deity Project".
Three days later, the first tester of the internal trial emerged.
主城喷涌万千华彩，司马天祚的神像推动“招魂阵”，璀璨的门扉缓缓开启，一道道流星划向神像前方的广场。
随后，生君神像升腾无边造化瑞气。那些流光得造化塑形，在广场上化作一个个身着单衣的男女老少。
There are a total of 3,000 people.
Sima Tianzuo's voice echoed in the ears of the crowd: "To save others is to save oneself. If our continent is destroyed and our homeland is lost, if we can save lives in this place, our meritorious achievement will be complete. The future generations can be revived from the brink of death and rebuild our great land."
This is a decision made after communication with Fu Henghua and many other saints.
As long as Leizhou is saved, they will try to reshape a divine continent for them. And Fu Henghua also plans to make some moves in that divine continent to fulfill the Xuan Dan Alliance.
Jinglong is a survivor who has once seen Sima Tianzuo.
At this moment, he woke up again and looked at the statue of Sima Tianzuo, feeling as if he had traveled to another world.
While he was lost in thought, the crowd around him followed Sima Tianzuo's instructions and went to the five statues to receive blessings.
So-called blessing means simulating the way of cultivating, which can help people quickly adapt to the corresponding path.
When Jing Long came back to his senses, he saw a long line in front of the statue of Sima Tianzuo.
"So long?"
Roughly counting, there were probably thousands of people choosing the blessing of Sima Tianzuo.
This is also reasonable. People like Jing Long, who were among the last to awake, have witnessed the supernatural powers of Sima Tianzuo and appreciate the benevolent protection of this elder.
Now that they have awakened again, naturally they are more inclined towards him.
As the situation unfolded, Sima Tianzuo had to once again speak up and advise everyone to choose the appropriate path of cultivation based on their own personality and strengths.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and more people gathered around the statues of the Sword Gods and War Gods on both sides. Of course, there were also many practitioners studying and considering in front of the statue of Wanzhou True Immortal.
There are the fewest people in line at the altar of the Statue of the Living Lord.
The reason is very simple.
According to the information given to them by Sima Tianzuo, they can practice insect-killing here and make their own elixirs and treasures. They can also apply to the Statue of the Living Lord for the divine fire of creation to forge items using materials. With healing elixirs available, why bother with a dedicated support-oriented cultivation path?
Jinglong thought for a moment and quietly approached the Sword God statue.
He himself was originally a cultivate stage cultivator, silently observing with divine consciousness. He felt a sense of ease and freedom from the Sword God statue.
Then I walked up to the statue of the Thousand Spell God, and the brilliant light of profound wisdom transformed into numerous spells and scriptures under my divine perception.
"Freedom, wisdom."
I walked back to the central statue once again.
The statue stares ahead with a gaze of compassion, as if guarding all the people in the world.
Jing Long murmurs, "Compassion."
Is this the embodiment of the five paths?
When facing Sheng Jun, although he also wears a kind and gentle expression, the statue holds the herb of immortality, displaying the path of longevity.
As for the final statue of the God of War, it was completely ignored by Jing Long.
The path of that predecessor was too incompatible with oneself - power.
"Excluding the most inappropriate thing, which is power, if you choose from the first four..."
What is cultivation for? Is it for freedom, for wisdom and knowledge, for saving all beings, or for immortality?
While Jing Long was contemplating, Fu Henghua and others sat by the Heavenly Gate, watching the choices of the people below.
"Interesting. Li Daoyou's choice of path is quite interesting - is this the entrance assessment of your Tianmu Academy?"
Li Pu nodded and said, "My four fellow Daoists and I have established the academy, each imparting our own cultivation philosophies and using the five elements to symbolize them, enrolling students who align with our respective philosophies."
Henghua had heard him mention it a long time ago, but didn't pay much attention to it.
Fu Xuanxing, Li Zuozhou, and others listened with great interest.
"I take water as my way, drawing wisdom from the depths, to educate and enlighten all beings."
"One of my fellow Taoists pursues gold and advocates killing. He excels in the way of the sword immortal, believing that strength is the key to cultivation."
Zhu Jiqing quickly shook his head and said, "We sword immortals should be carefree and detached, focused on our own liberation. Being obsessed with power, it's difficult to attain the great Dao, difficult indeed!"
Henghua Secret Passage: I suppose you must be the person who constantly argues with Li Pu. With just a book from the Taiqing Sect, it is probably impossible to bridge the ideological differences between them.
"Being carefree and at ease is the philosophy of our school's principal. He has attained the Dao through fire, excelling in change and unorthodox methods. He believes that cultivation should be about being carefree and unconstrained."
During the conversation, Li Puzhang showcased a scene of his enrollment in Tianmu Island.
A group of young people stood on the lawn, with five light gates in front of them. There was a person standing in front of each light gate, explaining their own ideals.
Aside from wisdom, supernatural powers, and free and easy ways, there are also compassion and perseverance.
Groups of young people walk towards the doors they yearn for, and behind the light doors are five distinct style buildings.
"While the main classes in the five gardens are taught together, each garden has its own secret spell. For example, I will teach the Heavenly Calculation divination and deductive Taoism. The Taibai garden requires its disciples to master the expert swordsmanship of protective Taoism. The Zhurong garden practices the Life-saving Flying Rainbow technique, the Qingyi garden practices alchemy, and the Diyuan garden practices the Indestructible Golden Body method."
He is excited when he heard about the body refining technique.
"Is the owner of Di Yuan Garden a fellow cultivator of the body refining path?"
"No, he is a senior immortal who specializes in Jie Xian. We invited him and a few others to be teachers and he established the garden. His belief is perseverance. He believes that cultivating immortality and seeking the Dao can only be achieved by those with great perseverance. Therefore, his disciples have the most rigorous cultivation methods, aiming to train their mind just like the fellow cultivators on the body refining path."
"Cultivation indeed requires perseverance."
After hesitating for a long time while looking at his own idol, Li Zuozhou wiped away the original spiritual imprint on the idol and replaced it with "perseverance".
The perseverance that is as steady as a mountain.
Just right, it forms another alternative cycle of the five elements when combined with the other four.
……
Jing Long senses the sublimation of the concept of the war god statue, but doesn't care.
Determination? Endurance?
Those are not my ideals.
Finally, he embarked on the path of immortality.
"I still do not know what path I will choose in the future. But without a long life, I cannot live according to my own will."
Therefore, he bowed to the Lord of Life.
The immortal grass in the statue's hand suddenly emitted a burst of green light and entered Jing Long's body.
Instantly, "Eternal Spring Immortal Method" appeared in mind. With the help of the "Eternal Spring Spiritual Seed," true energy rapidly generated within the body and circulated throughout according to a specific mental technique.
"Wait a minute - this cultivation route seems to be even more brilliant than my original one?"
Jinglong was originally an ordinary foundation building cultivator, and his cultivation technique was just a popular basic method. Naturally, it was incomparable to the carefully crafted Changchun Immortal Technique created by Henghua.
"If I were to truly resurrect and return to my homeland, would I not be able to bring this heart technique back to practice?"
At this thought, he did not rely solely on the "Changchun Spirit Seed", instead silently pushing the heart technique himself, trying it out and becoming proficient in this method of luck manipulation.
This action made Fuhenghua in front of the Tianmen feel something and cast his gaze in that direction.
Not only Jinglong, Fuhenghua also felt that some cultivators chose this method.
"Let's see how far some clever people can go."
……
"Jing Long is, after all, a foundation building cultivator and his soul also carries some spiritual power. After half a day of cultivating and refining his breath, his level automatically increased to 'Five'."
"According to Senior Sima, the Heavenly Tribulation Trial can be undertaken at level 120. Prior to that, for every ten levels after level 30, there will be a trial stage."
With this in mind, Jing Long did not rush out to kill insects, but continued to meditate and train in the square.
The spiritual energy here is abundant, making it a suitable place for cultivation. Combined with the Sun Purple Qi brought by Sima Tianzuo, the Water Lily Qi attached to Li Pu, and the Green Ethereal Wood Qi bestowed upon Sheng Jun by Fu Honghua, they all perfectly complement the cultivation of spiritual beings.
As the sun and moon rotate five degrees, while others are busy killing insects and experiencing a brand new life, Jing Long still sits in front of the statue of the Divine Emperor, meditating.
The five idols of Henghua have long since departed, but their consciousness still lingers on the statue, and they can still communicate.
The war god smirked and said, "I can see it, he is more suitable for our lineage. Such a determined person..."
"Seeking immortality naturally requires perseverance," said Fuhenghua.
Fuhenghua stared at Jing Long and sensed a considerable amount of destiny within him.
Throughout the three hundred registered members of the Shengjun lineage, only one other person named Gong Shengtao possesses a destiny and fortune comparable to the main character.
"These two individuals should be the heirs of a yet-to-be-developed continent that is destined for destruction, right?"
It is precisely because both of them have great potential that they choose to be on their own side.
After all, Shengjun is the god of destiny.
Henghua's gaze immediately shifted to Gong Shengtao.
"Gong ge, please help me attract insects."
"Mr. Gong, how about splitting the bill fifty-fifty? Will you accompany me to the enchanted butterfly forest for a day."
"Mr. Gong, join our team. A few of us will handle the hands-on work, you just need to take care of attracting the bugs."
Other four veins of travelers surrounded Gong Shengtao, warmly soliciting and inviting.
Gong Shengtao suppressed the voices of the crowd and said seriously, "Everyone, I made a promise earlier, a 70-30 split. I will never arbitrarily change the previous price just because there is more business. Later, I will ask my junior sister to help with the registration. Then, we will go to help one by one. And rest assured, my several junior sisters are about to refine the 'Seducing Insect Flower'. At that time, our 'Shengjun Guild' will let everyone fight to their heart's content."
Worm flower, a type of auxiliary flower grown from undying grass.
At the beginning of cultivation, when the undying grass blooms, it will receive blessings from the Lord of Life and can choose one of three types of flowers: attack, healing, or auxiliary. The majority of cultivators choose attack flowers, such as the Flame Flower, Frost Flower, and Whirlwind Flower.
Because they understand that in the early stages, it is difficult for the leader to kill monsters alone, so they rely on their companion Undying Grass to stay alive.
A small number of people choose healing-type revival flowers such as Resurrection Flower, Purifying Flower, Poison-Devouring Flower to increase their own healing ability, making it easier to join other people's teams.
Only Gong Shengtao chose the unconventional Sphaerocoryne as an assistant. This is a type of plant created by Fu Henghua based on the research results of Zhang Xiyue, Fu Tongjun, and others, and modeled after the carnivorous plant in the natural world.
As long as the Undying Weed is summoned, the Confusing Bug Flower will emit a special pheromone that attracts nearby insect tribes.
Over the course of several days, the Five Travelers have already discovered a major problem in dealing with the insect tribes - mobility.
The Kun tribe is extremely agile and difficult to fight in dense forests, caves, and other environments. Over the past few days, the progress of the group in leveling up has been slow.
However, Gong Shengtao, with his insight, chose a kind of spirit flower that can attract the Kun tribe, thereby enhancing his value among all the Shengjun walkers. While other walkers are busy climbing mountains, climbing trees, and drilling holes to kill insects, he has already led his teammates on flat ground, waiting for the Kun tribe to come and die on their own.
靠着这个方法，宫胜涛的队友成为目前行者排行中最强的一批人。
也有人打算去找其他生君行者，甚至培养一位自己的专属队友。
However, the reply received was very disappointing.
In order for the Three Flowers bestowed by Lord Sheng to bloom again, there must be a ten-level interval. Therefore, currently Gong Shengtao is the only candidate.
However, Gong Shengtao did not suppress other Monarch players because of this. On the contrary, he actively recruited and protected other Monarch players. While the other four paths of players were still diligently leveling up, the Monarch Guild had already taken shape.
"The Son of Qiyun, really has some leadership qualities."
"Henghua observed and started to look forward to the surprises Jinglong would bring."
"Ten days."
"Jinglong slowly opened his eyes."
"Reached level twenty."
With a move of the hand, the undying grass emerges from the ground, with twenty green leaves and three deep purple flowers.
Even poisonous substances have an incredibly magnificent appearance.
"This is definitely the style of Sheng Jun the Great God."
Gorgeous and beautiful.
Shortly after starting, Jing Long discovered the characteristic features of the "Changchun Fairy Method" system.
The three types of spirit flowers that bloom are all magnificent and splendid.
The opponent's move "Lotus Flower Seal" and the healing technique "Revitalizing Fairy Technique" are graceful and elegant, like a fairy.
"Although I don't know what techniques the Sword Immortal clan possesses, I feel that our own style is more suitable for the 'comfortable and carefree' sentiment."
"Look, sister, that person has finally stood up."
Hearing someone whispering, Jinglong looked up and saw two girls not far away staring at him.
He felt a stir in his heart and approached them to strike up a conversation.
Soon he learned the cause and effect.
These two girls, surnamed Zhang, were sent by Gong Shengtao. In the case that the twelve girls did not delay their own practice, they were concerned about the pilgrim's companions in front of the Shengjun statue.
"Gong Shengtao?" Jing Long murmured this name, feeling familiar, as if he had heard of him in his hometown.
Miss Zhang reminded: "Sir, his last name is Gong."
Jing Long suddenly realized and dug out the information about the Gong family from his dusty memory.
"The people of the Gong family. No wonder they are so powerful, they managed to win over all the living disciples in just a few days."
Although it is said that Wushen Square is very safe, we have to admit that if he sends someone to look after us, we also owe him a favor.
The elder girl asked, "Sir, would you like to come with us to the union?"
"Nature."
Three people walked towards the Shengjun Guild outside of two streets.
At the magnificent and spectacular palace gate, many sword cultivators and body cultivators blocked the entrance.
"Fairy Wang, please come out quickly. Aren't we having a good time teaming up? Let's continue."
"You should step aside! Following someone like a fool all day, failing several times even at simple bug-killing tasks, and you have the audacity to come here. Fairy Wang, join forces with me quickly. Our collaboration was so successful twice before, and this time I can offer you an additional 10% of the spoils."
"Miss Dong, do you have any teammates now? Why don't you join our team?"
"Mr. Dongfang, since little sister doesn't have a companion at the moment, why don't we..."
Seeing cultivators from various sects blocking the door, Jing Long was startled.
"What is this for?"
Chapters sister's face was unhappy: "Because our Yunyi faction currently has some utilitarian value. So, the practitioners of the four veins come to block the door every day, hoping to find us for help."
Initially, Gong Shengtao relied on other monk walkers to help him level up. However, as his own level increased, he teamed up with several powerful king walkers and was surprised to find:
If a group of undead grass summons at the same time, under the attraction of the bewilderment insect flower, when a large group of insects approach, attacking flower buds like the Flame Flower can launch an attack. They can completely form a defensive position and kick out other four teams in a team way, and work alone!
Although Gong Shengtao is worried about offending the other four factions and ruining their relationship, he still arranges for Level Ten and above disciples to take turns helping outside. But more disciples prefer to team up internally.
A group of immortals summoned simultaneously, with healing, attacking, and aggroing all covered!
They don't even need to lift a finger, just sit next to them and eat sunflower seeds, and let the immortals kill the bugs.
Great Shengjun, you have created such a convenient method of cultivation.
We didn't recognize the value of Your Majesty in the beginning and thought that the Life Lord series would be the weakest and most helpless during the wilderness period, needing to beg to join other teams.
We were so stupid!
Compared to the masters of ten thousand laws and ten thousand spells, you should be the wise ruler!
After listening to the two sisters, Jing Long nodded silently.
Indeed, he also felt the greatness of "Sheng Jun" after his practice.
Immortal grass is indeed a wonderful path to longevity.
等不死草缔结长生之果，自己便可一步金丹了。
“对了，先生。您的不死草开了哪种花？也是攻击类的吗？”
“是治疗类。”
顿时，董家妹妹有些失望。
“治疗啊……咱们工会现在不缺这个……”
在一群不死草集合时，造化生气彼此串联，他们受到的轻伤会自动愈合。生君行者组队，治疗类的话最不重要。
所以，绝大多数人在宫胜涛指引下，都是在攻击花外，挑选惑虫花。
“没关系。先生稍后二次选择时，挑选惑虫花就可以了。”
“来不及了，而且也没必要。”荆隆屈指一弹，绽放三朵噬毒花的不死草摇晃着再度升起。
“等等，你有三花？”
三花，二十级。
目前在整个生君工会也屈指可数。
章妹妹指着荆隆叫道：“你——你怎么三朵花选择同一种属性啊！这样——这样你未来怎么发展？”
“三花已成，未来自然要挑选合适我的战斗方式。”
再度一指，三朵紫花同时向人群喷出紫雾。
在雾气中，众人晕晕乎乎，声音越来越弱。
“不好，有毒，大家快躲开！”
众多行者撤退，宫阙前恢复平静。
里面的生君行者们这时才开门出来，赶紧把三人拉进去。
面对荆隆的手段，自然有一群人好奇地过来询问。
他也不藏着掖着，讲述自己的发现：“如果三次赐福之花选择同一种，就会将相应功能大幅提升。三朵烈焰花结合，不仅可以吐火，也可吸收火系攻击，甚至拔除火毒。冰霜华、旋风花同理，而我选择的噬毒花虽然初始效果是解毒，但在‘三花聚顶’后可以释放毒素。”
毒师流。
这是荆隆为伏Henghua交出的答卷。
在宫胜涛忙碌工会建设，拉着一群同伴团结发展时，荆隆为个体修行指明道路。
“三花聚顶？”
众人陷入沉思。
而当宫胜涛领人外出归来，听到荆隆的讲解后，当机立断。
“有兴趣的同伴可以试试这条路。不用担心没有惑虫花，无法和外面的人组队。生君工会不会放弃一个同伴。生君垂慈，怜爱世人。作为行走在生君长生路的同伴，我们自当守望护住。”
生君垂慈，怜爱世人？
悲悯众生，不是司马前辈的口号吗？
荆隆心中腹议。
但他明白宫胜涛打出这个口号的用意。
既然外人都不会放弃，更遑论我们自己人呢？
将生君塑造为一尊慈悲、仁爱的善主，更有助于内部团结。
在宫胜涛张罗下，公会内有几个尚未二次赐福的女孩选择“三花聚顶”道路。
“荆道友，我稍后要领着这几个姑娘一起去练级。道友眼下也需要摸索一下战斗吧？不如一起？”
荆隆从未和人组队，自然也希望看一看大家的战斗方式，于是欣然相随。
生君工会浩浩荡荡几十号人出行，虽然沿途有各路行者过来打招呼，厚颜凑上来“求组队”。但在宫胜涛圆滑周旋下，众人在没有加入一个外人的情况下，顺利来到城外的幻蝶密林。
“这里是蝶系昆族的据点。这类昆族大多有毒，也适合道友的噬毒花。来，我负责引虫——”
“不必，先让我来试试。”荆隆召唤不死草，三朵噬毒花同时催动，一阵阵诡异的毒雾在密林蔓延。很快，大批花蝶向众人飞来。
“果然，我没猜错。三花聚顶后的精纯毒雾，可以吸引毒系昆族靠近。”
毒蝶疯狂吞噬毒雾，但在毒雾不断调整变化中，大批大批的花蝶落翅而亡。
“一百，两百，三百……”
宫胜涛等人默默计算，比起他们组队前来的成果，荆隆一个人就办到了！
荆隆看着震惊的众人，淡然道：“我有一个想法。生君不死草百变多样，潜力无穷。如果有工会托底，大家应该能集思广益，寻找适合自己的道路。而不用担心走错路，被队友舍弃。”
“这是自然，”宫胜涛反应过来，“没错，生君百变。我们目前探索的不死草使用方法，绝对不是仙法的极限。三花聚顶也好，合众杀虫也好，都只是其表面应用。我们应该集思广益，寻找更多的方法。”
他安排同伴们组队杀虫后，便与荆隆一起，讨论建立一个毒师组。专门培养玩毒的生君行者，以此作为整个公会的战力保证。
“生君救人，但同样可以利用治疗术来杀人。比如我们的回生法术，可以增加人体内的活性。那么同理，能不能利用治疗术活跃毒性，让昆族中毒而死？”
“神经类毒素不好说，但血液类毒素应该可以受到‘活血术’影响。对了，噬毒花能不能配合其他属性的攻击花，释放火毒、寒毒？”
随着他们的交流，生君神像内出现一条条修行分支。
毒师流、焚焰流、冰冻流、不死流、召唤流……
看着诸多灵感碰撞的成果，Henghua心中暗喜不已。
就是这样，唯有结合众生智慧，才能扩展我的道路。
我甚至有种直觉，仅靠生君传法，似乎都能搭建一条证道之路，让“生君”成为证道的古神了。
……
“元道！”
这时，祝继清的神像传讯：“过来帮忙，雷洲那边有真仙过来查看了。”
