Chapter 24 The Primordial Banana Tree, the Invitation of Nuwa and Fuxi
Tianlu recognized the origin of this spiritual root at a glance, and his heart was immediately filled with shock.
One of the ten innate spiritual roots, the innate banana tree.
It nurtures the four elements of wind, fire, water, and earth, making it an extremely rare and top-tier creation in the primordial world.
Legends about this innate banana tree from later generations instantly flashed through Tianlu's mind.
In the primordial era, the four leaves that sprouted from this innate banana tree each transformed into a powerful innate spiritual treasure.
The fire-attribute banana leaf eventually fell into the hands of Taiqing Laozi, and transformed into a top-grade spiritual treasure used by Taishang Laojun, who had severed one of his three corpses, to refine pills and fan the flames. With a gentle fan, it could ignite the Six Ding Divine Fire.
The wind-attribute banana leaf fell into the hands of the Styx Ancestor of the Netherworld Blood Sea. Later, during the great calamity of the Journey to the West, this wind-attribute treasure appeared in the hands of Princess Iron Fan, the Rakshasa.
As for the two banana leaves with their unique soil and water properties, they did not become famous in later legends and their whereabouts remain unknown.
But in any case, this innate banana tree is definitely a rare and precious thing!
This is a top-tier divine object capable of giving birth to four superior innate spiritual treasures of the same origin.
With greed gleaming in its golden beast eyes, Tianlu quickly stepped forward to examine the innate banana tree before it closely.
Such a divine object, which rivals the creation of heaven and earth, would surely cause a bloodbath that sweeps across the entire prehistoric world if placed outside. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would be fought to the death over it.
However, when Tianlu's gaze fell on the four giant banana leaves swaying in the wind and flowing with the four fundamental elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, he keenly sensed something unusual.
He discovered that the innate Dao patterns swirling on the leaf were still somewhat sluggish, and although the power of the four primordial forces was vast and boundless, it had not yet reached the state of perfection.
"Judging from the shape of the banana leaf and the flow of the patterns, it seems that it has not yet been fully formed."
Tianlu secretly calculated that if he forcibly took it now, it would not only damage the innate essence of the spiritual treasure, but might even cause its grade to drop significantly, which would be a waste of a precious treasure.
They cannot be picked yet.
But it doesn't matter, Tianlu is not the kind of cultivator who follows the rules.
"Since we've run into it, let's take the plant and the pot together!"
Tianlu snorted coldly, and then, as usual, opened his blood-red maw.
An extremely terrifying power of the law of devouring erupted suddenly, instantly forming a bottomless black hole in the void.
The towering, ten-zhang-tall innate banana tree, along with the ten thousand li of innate spiritual soil to which its roots were planted, was instantly uprooted and transformed into a dazzling stream of light, which Tianlu swallowed whole.
Tianlu let out a satisfied burp. He looked inward with his divine sense and clearly felt the powerful force of creation within his abdomen begin to wrap around and nourish the innate banana tree.
"Nurtured within my womb, these four leaves might just transform into four supreme-grade innate spiritual treasures when they mature!"
Thinking of this, Tianlu was in a great mood.
Having done all this, Tianlu patted his round belly and intended to set off immediately to continue searching for opportunities in other parts of the Buzhou Mountains, upholding his fine tradition of taking advantage of every opportunity.
Just then, his keen senses suddenly detected that two dazzling streaks of light were flying toward him at an extremely fast speed in the void not far away.
"Um?"
Tianlu's eyes narrowed, his massive body lowered slightly, and he exuded a dangerous aura.
He clearly sensed that the aura contained in these two streams of light was extremely powerful, only slightly weaker than his own mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal level.
They were two top-tier innate saints who had reached the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
"Could it be that you're here to cause trouble because you can't stand my unbridled behavior in the Buzhou Mountains all these years?"
A hint of doubt flashed through Tianlu's mind, but this didn't make sense.
It should be noted that since the beginning of the Dragon-Han Calamity and the end of the Great Dao-Demon War, the evil energy and karma in the primordial world have not completely dissipated, and top-tier combat power at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal is extremely rare.
When true Grand Luo Immortals become as numerous as hairs on a cow, that will only happen during the great calamity of the Lich King and the Demon King, when all the innate deities from various realms will emerge.
But that's not the case now.
Where did these two Great Immortals come from?
Could it be an ancient relic that miraculously survived from the Longhan era?!
Tianlu shook his round head and decided to stop thinking about it. No matter who the other party was, he would know when he met them.
As the two dazzling streaks of light approached and stopped in mid-air, Tianlu raised its massive beast head and asked a question.
"Who is this deity who has descended upon us, and what brings you here?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the two streams of light vanished, instantly transforming into human figures of a man and a woman with innate Dao bodies.
The man was dressed in a black Taoist robe, with a handsome face and a gentle, refined demeanor.
The woman was dressed in a seven-colored robe, her beauty was beyond compare, and she was dignified and sacred.
Seeing her appearance, Tianlu's gaze did not linger on the stunningly beautiful Nuwa. Instead, he stared intently at Fuxi beside him, scrutinizing him closely.
He thought to himself that this innate Dao body looked quite pleasing to the eye and was in accordance with the principles of the Great Dao.
As a mythical creature, Pixiu, if I accumulate enough merit to choose to transform into human form in the future, will I also be able to transform into such a handsome and elegant appearance?
Although Tianlu was enormous and imposing, it did not exude any malevolent aura. Instead, it emanated a natural auspicious energy.
He immediately smiled slightly, stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and gently explained his purpose.
"I observe that your aura is profound and majestic, befitting a fellow Great Luo Golden Immortal. Therefore, I feel a sense of closeness and wish to discuss the Dao with you. What do you think?"
After a pause, Fuxi continued.
"In addition, I, Fuxi, would like to learn more about the changing situation in this primordial world from you, fellow Daoist."
Upon hearing this, Tianlu immediately understood that they hadn't come to cause trouble.
However, he was slightly surprised after learning their identities.
Nuwa? Fuxi?
The Buzhou Mountains are vast and boundless. How could I have so coincidentally encountered these two future great beings of the primordial world?
Tianlu thought about it and realized that perhaps his actions over the years in the Buzhou Mountains—plundering every feather that passed by and digging three feet into the ground—had been too high-profile.
What kind of rumors were spread about them that piqued the curiosity of these two people, prompting them to come and find out for themselves?
Since they have come to discuss philosophy and make friends, Tianlu will naturally not refuse them.
After all, he couldn't possibly be alone forever in the primordial world.
With that thought in mind, he nodded decisively.
"good."
Seeing this, Fuxi's smile deepened, and he turned to introduce Nuwa to Tianlu.
"This is my younger sister, Nuwa."
After saying this, Fuxi looked at Tianlu and asked.
"I haven't had the chance to ask your name yet, sir?"
Tianlu nodded slightly and responded.
"My name is Tianlu. I greet Fellow Daoist Nuwa."
Upon hearing this, Nuwa gracefully returned the greeting with a slight bow.
"Nuwa greets Brother Tianlu."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Fuxi looked around at the shattered earth and the mess left behind by Tianlu's uprooting, and shook his head slightly.
"The spiritual energy here is disordered, which is really unsuitable and not a good place for discussing the Dao."
"If you don't mind, brother, why don't you join us, brother and sister, at our Daoist temple, Phoenix Perch Mountain, for a chat?"
