302: Chapter 302 [Primordial Qi, Myriad Trees, Receiving Heaven's Vast Dharma Nature]

From this point on, comings and goings could be counted, and goals could be clarified.

When the aura of fortune gathered and bonded to grow, and when the crowd gathered to thrive, it resonated with the image of the [Great Forest Wood]—a tree that supports the heavens, the leader of all woods, with a continuous flow of vital energy—only then did the day arrive when the Golden Nature seed sprouted.

With a single thought covering the Tianhe Dojo, Wang An naturally left these ideas to be executed by the third and fourth-generation Disciples.

The Disciples currently in charge of mundane affairs, such as Ling Hua, Ling Li, and Xu Wenqiang, received Wang An's message, which requested the perfection of the Transcendent succession process.

Because it concerned the past and future of human civilization, they discussed it for a while and immediately summoned the members of the Supreme Council to deliberate on the specific execution.

Shortly after, remote projections were sent out, and over a hundred primary-stage Transcendent Life forms gathered together; except for those participating in planetary terraforming or interstellar trade in other star systems, basically everyone had arrived.

Ling Li presided over this meeting and first raised a topic: "Everyone, with over a hundred years of development, the various systems have gradually matured. It is time to define factions, development philosophies, and to delineate and establish the aura of fortune and the Foundation of the Legacy for different school routes."

"Remember not long ago, a few Fellow Daoists encountered interstellar pirates, and several branches of their research faction were left without leadership or successors."

"The environment is becoming increasingly chaotic. Whether it is us or other Fellow Daoists outside the star system, we are all in danger of losing our lives at any moment. How we ensure the Legacy remains orderly, so that a lifetime of research is not in vain, depends on our decision today."

Leaders and representatives of other professional systems—such as the pure lotus, Netherworld, and Yin Moon imagery branches, as well as Martial Dao Celestial, Heaven-Reporting Daoist, Comet-Heart Keeper, Haoran Confucian, Elemental Wizard, Arcane Mage, Faith Priest, Secret Treasury Master, and Gene Fusion—all nodded in agreement.

After all, things are not like before, when they were just holed up in the Solar System.

If one's talent is limited yet one still wishes to pursue the Opportunity for a Breakthrough, exploring outward has become a reliable path.

Everyone was clear that most of them were groping their way forward in the dark, and even the few Disciples of the great Immortal Master of Tianhe had Dao Foundations that were completely different from his.

Therefore, if their cultivation achievements were lost, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous loss for the entire human civilization.

If one were to die of old age or pass away within the Solar System, there would still be a chance to enter the Netherworld and contact backup locations to pass on their Legacy. But once outside the Solar System sector, returning to the Netherworld is not so simple, and one might even suffer attacks at the Soul level, perhaps even resulting in Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Seeing everyone fall into a long, thoughtful silence, Ling Li first conveyed a decision: "From this day forward, all Transcendent Life forms leaving the Solar System must leave behind all their experience in stepping into the Transcendent realm."

"As for research achievements after becoming Transcendent, your factions may decide among yourselves how to pass them on."

After she finished speaking, the various factions began to form small groups to discuss among themselves.

Within the Tianhe orthodoxy, besides the three major factions focusing on the imagery of pure lotus, Netherworld, and Yin Moon, other Cultivators who were normally pioneering or inheriting the achievements of their predecessors were also discussing.

Even if the Dao Foundation cultivated was the same [Heavenly River Water], there would be different understandings, and they would cultivate completely different imagery.

There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people; the imagery of a thousand Dao Foundation Cultivators is equally varied and strange.

After several days of deliberation, the method for preserving the Legacy of the Dao Foundation Cultivator system was finally determined.

They chose to use imagery artifacts as a means of inheritance, using spiritual objects that resonated with the imagery to refine them into artifacts that would accompany the Cultivator for a long time, recording the changes in the Dao imagery at all times.

At the same time, research achievements and secret Divine Abilities could all be recorded within, serving as the Legacy token for every Dao Foundation Cultivator.

In this way, when venturing outside the Solar System to seek Opportunity, leaving behind this Dao imagery artifact would allow future generations to continue the path.

After this, other Transcendent systems also quickly determined their inheritance methods.

Some established Ancestral Master Halls to gather incense from ancestors, while others recorded their own cultivation scriptures and placed them in their own academies for future generations to reference.

Some wrote books and established theories, or left behind secret Legacy inheritances, or recorded them using Magical Artifacts, spiritual plants, and other items.

In short, research achievements that were not convenient to display externally were now recorded in a more secretive and effective way, becoming the Opportunity for generation after generation of Cultivators to continue pioneering.

In the Ten Thousand Wood Firmament, a towering giant tree stood in the center of the entire firmament, with four equally large forest trees surrounding and growing around the central giant tree.

Beyond this, the trees that had manifested from the aura of fortune of the two hundred or so primary-stage Transcendent Life forms, which were originally ordinary, gradually solidified, becoming a solid support for the countless flowers, plants, insects, and fish living beneath these trees.

The entire Ten Thousand Wood Firmament became more stable.

Massive amounts of aura of fortune and Dao cultivation knowledge gathered and poured into that brilliant [Great Forest Wood] Dharma Nature; the Golden Nature seed communicated and received the irrigation of living water, its aura becoming even more intense, with a faint trend of sprouting.

Time flowed by as the living water of the aura of fortune was continuously poured.

Three years later, when all Transcendent systems and inheritance lineages had established their Legacy Foundations, the Golden Nature seed existing within Wang An's Divine Ability quietly sprouted, and the space of the transcendence dao tree in the netherworld descended once again.

This time, the transcendence dao tree, originally colorful and representing the branches of different systems, took on a brand-new look; all Transcendent systems merged into the Dao soil beneath the Dao Tree, becoming the Foundation for the entire Transcendent system.

Thus, the Legacy was orderly, and the Foundation was set.

Immediately following this, a Dharma Name manifested, reaching the Great Forest Wood Golden Nature.

This Golden Nature was called [Primeval Qi Ten Thousand Wood Bearing Heaven Vast Dharma Nature].

This time, there was no grand announcement, but rather it spread to every life form belonging to the Primeval Qi system in a silent form.

The firmament supported by the Great Forest Wood Golden Nature covered every Primeval Qi Cultivator.

The six Laws—Wood Vein, Aura of Fortune, Vast Momentum, Bearing Luck, Nourishment Absorption, and Concealment—intertwined, and infinite Dharma principles and imagery evolved.

The [sky-supporting green oak] rooted at Tianhe Peak was influenced by this Wood-element Golden Nature aura; its life level, originally stalled at the first-stage limit, suddenly sublimated and rapidly grew to ten thousand meters high, reaching the same level as the [Return to One Domain Tower].

The massive canopy of leaves shaded the entire Tianhe Dojo, covering the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The first second-stage spiritual plant of the Primeval Qi system was born.

Beneath it, countless Green Spiritual Wood Qi scattered, nourishing every piece of land.

Those spiritual plants that had been specially cultivated by Wang An and were stuck at the first-stage limit all broke through one after another following the [sky-supporting green oak], stepping into the second-stage level.

[Cleansing Heart Tea Tree], [Ten Thousand Fathom Red Fir], [Evil-Warding Thunder Bamboo], [Rootless Jellyfish Snow Rabbit], [pure lotus], and so on, all evolved joyfully.

Among them, the [sky-supporting green oak] was the most special; not only was it the first spiritual plant to ascend to the second-stage level, but it also carried a portion of the Great Forest Wood Golden Nature Laws.

Under its shade, the entire Tianhe Dojo had the infinite radiation energy and solar energy of the Universe drawn in by it, transforming into even richer Spiritual Primeval Qi and Dharma Primeval Qi.
