What a sha!
Lu Tianzi lanted in his heart.
If he was allowed to continue living out the mories of the Lifebrand Ancient Tree, Lu Tianzi had no doubt that he would be able to glean further insights, and perhaps even deepen his understandings in the Law of Origin while he was at it.
Even so, there was no helping it.
It was either this, or risk exposing the existence of the Spiritual Essence system within him.
There was no way that he would have chosen otherwise.
Now that Lu Tianzi's consciousness had returned to the Lifebrand Courtyard, he was finally able to take a good look around him.
Even though millennia had passed while he was in the Lifebrand Ancient Tree's world of mories, it seed like almost nothing had changed in the real world.
How much ti had passed since they started?
Were they nearing the end of the seven days?
But Lu Tianzi eventually decided not to think too much about it.
What mattered now was to make full use of whatever ti he had left!
However, connecting with the Lifebrand Ancient Tree was no longer an option for him. In that case, the next best alternative would be to use this ti to organise the precious insights that he had newly comprehended.
At this mont, Lu Tianzi suddenly felt an unfamiliar dampness in his right hand.
Hmm?
Lu Tianzi opened his hand to see that for so unknown reason, droplets of water had gathered in his palm.
As Lu Tianzi's attention fell upon these ordinary looking droplets of water, he felt a mysterious connection with them, as though these droplets of water had co from his body.
Could it be dew water from the Lifebrand Ancient Tree?
Lu Tianzi was shocked when he realised this.
How did these droplets of dew even end up in his hand?
The dew on the Lifebrand Ancient Tree could be considered as a part of its body. No matter how little the amount, for these droplets of dew water to appear in his hand, it was an unparalleled display of good fortune for Lu Tianzi!
Fortunately, these droplets of dew were now completely devoid of spiritual energy.
Even if they lay directly in Lu Tianzi's hand, it would not trigger the breakthrough in his Spiritual Essence system.
No, that was not it.
These droplets of dew water were the reason why his inner world had been filled to the brim in the first place. Because he had already subconsciously absorbed all the spiritual energy within them!
But what's done is done.
Right now, Lu Tianzi was only interested in whatever benefits he could gain from these droplets of dew water that had co from the Lifebrand Ancient Tree.
Lu Tianzi imdiately tried to probe the dew water with his perception.
Since these droplets of dew water had been part of the Lifebrand Ancient Tree, perhaps it would be possible to see through their mories as well!
After a long while, Lu Tianzi's consciousness still remained within the Lifebrand Courtyard
As expected, it failed to react in the sa matter as the Lifebrand Ancient Tree.
Since that was the case, Lu Tianzi could only give up on that idea. Out of ideas, he could only fall back to his initial plan of organising his newly acquired insights.
He closed his eyes once again, quickly diving into a state of deep ditation.
In this state, Lu Tianzi silently pondered upon the insights that he had acquired over the past few days.
It might be due to the dense World Origin Energy within the Lifebrand Courtyard, but Lu Tianzi was not only able to efficiently internalise these insights, but he was even able to form brand new insights by recalling his experience as the Lifebrand Ancient Tree!
His thoughts were clear and flowed smoothly, just like a river of water that had remained untainted and pristine.
Wait river of water?
At this mont, Lu Tianzi suddenly discovered that so changes had occurred within his body without him even realising it.
In Lu Tianzi's inner world, a portion of his Spiritual Essence had always displayed an obvious difference from the rest, bearing a shade of blue. This blue Spiritual Essence was also why he possessed an innate affiliation with the water elent.
And right now, Lu Tianzi realised that almost half of his Spiritual Essence had been converted into a similar shade of blue!
In fact, even the shade of blue had slightly changed in colour, becoming clearer than before, as though it had mutated into a completely different form.
No, it was more accurate to say that it had undergone a qualitative evolution.
While he was not paying attention, his Spiritual Essence had beco far purer and denser. Even his comprehensions into the Law of Water was already much deeper than before!
Still with his eyes closed, Lu Tianzi gently felt the palm of his right hand.
It was completely dry now, the dew water from before no longer anywhere to be seen.
Though he was surprised, Lu Tianzi did not allow this matter to affect his current state of ditation.
He had just experienced living through thousands of years, and there were a lot that he had witnessed. These experiences were not just limited to the Law of Origin or the art of swordsmanship.
Lu Tianzi wanted to make full use of this ti to internalise as much of it as he could.
Now that he was no longer in the Lifebrand Ancient Tree's world of mories, ti seed to pass much more quickly in comparison.
"All right, your ti is up." Marshal Xianming announced, his voice conveyed straight into the minds of each of the two hundred people present.
Contained within his words was just the right amount of strength. It was enough to stir them from their ditation, yet not so forceful that they would be jolted awake and risk suffering from a ntal backlash.
One by one, the mbers of the younger generation opened their eyes, revealing all kinds of different expressions.
So had eyes full of gratitude and appreciation, while others were full of reluctance.
So were indignant, while others were indifferent.
But no matter what it was, their ti in the Lifebrand Courtyard had co to an end all the sa.
"Please exit and follow the ushers. They will be bringing you to register your communication mark before you take your leave," Marshal Xianming explained. "Let remind you to properly prepare yourselves during these three months. Do not let us down!"
In the end, the main reason why these participants were allowed into the Lifebrand Courtyard was because they had implicitly agreed to take part in the coming war. Thus, it was not a surprise that the Scarlet Moon Palace would want an easier way of contacting them.
By registering their communication marks, the Scarlet Moon Palace would be able to relay information to them much more efficiently.
Upon doing so, participants who did not belong to the Scarlet Moon Palace were led to the exit of the palace.
After all, seven days had already passed since the end of the Scarlet Moon Heroes et. Even the banquet hosted by the Scarlet Moon Palace had ended long ago.
Right now, many of these mbers of the younger generation were eager to return to their respective influences and report their respective gains.
"I will be returning with my fellow sect mbers then," Lu Tianzi clasped his fist towards Beimu Fei.
"Mm," Beimu Fei nodded. "Be careful."
Lu Tianzi nodded with a smile, fully understanding what Beimu Fei was worried about.
By climbing to the top rank, Lu Tianzi had definitely succeeded in grabbing the attention of the Scarlet Moon Overlord.
But the Scarlet Moon Overlord had not been the only one watching, and it was inevitable that there would be spectators who eyed Lu Tianzi with malicious thoughts.
Even so, Lu Tianzi had no regrets.
This ti, his benefits had been enormous!
Considering that, it was definitely worth it even if he had co under the radar of a few powerful influences.
After Lu Tianzi bid farewell to Beimu Fei, he returned to City Lord Nanlan's residence along with Nanlan Qianxue and Nanhuang Jiansheng.
During the past week, both Nanlan Qianxue and Nanhuang Jiansheng had managed to establish a connection with the Lifebrand Ancient Tree at a certain point as well.
However, what they experienced was just like what Lu Tianzi saw initially, where countless images flashed through their minds in an incoherent manner.
As for their takeaways, even they were unable to say for sure.
Not wanting to explain too much, Lu Tianzi simply lied that he had experienced the sa thing as them.
Well, he was not exactly lying either.
After all, Lu Tianzi truly did experience the sa thing as them. It was just that on top of that, he also managed to experience sothing else.

"Young Mistress, Sir Nanlu, Sir Nanhuang, welco back!" the servants greeted them enthusiastically upon seeing their arrival, their faces beaming with the brightest of smiles.
One must not underestimate the information gathering ability of servants.
By now, they had already understood that these three youngsters were considered among the greatest talents within the younger generation of the entire Scarlet Moon Kingdom.
Furthermore, Nanlu Tianzi was even able to obtain the top spot in the Scarlet Moon Heroes et, the grandest event in Scarlet Moon Kingdom for decades!
This ant that his talent likely stood even above the renowned Four Stars!
If they managed to catch his eye and be accepted under his wing in the future, then their status could possibly beco even higher than serving under City Lord Nanlan!
"Thank you," the three youngsters replied politely before wanting to head back to their rooms.
However, one of the servants hurriedly stepped towards Lu Tianzi. "Sir Nanlu, the Master has passed down instructions to inform him the mont you returned. So please do prepare yourself as the Master is likely to be calling for you soon."
"Only ?" Lu Tianzi was surprised, shooting an awkward glance at Nanlan Qianxue and Nanhuang Jiansheng beside him. "What about them?"
"The Master only ntioned Sir Nanlu," the servant replied honestly.
"This" Lu Tianzi frowned.
Strange, why was it only him?
Did City Lord Nanlan not have any words for Nanlan Qianxue and Nanhuang Jiansheng who got into the top two hundred as well?
"What's with that look on your face? You don't have to feel bad for us!" Nanlan Qianxue lightly punched his chest playfully. "You are the top ranker after all, it is no wonder that the City Lord would want to speak to you in confidence. Perhaps you are even getting a second reward for your performance?"
"Nanlan Qianxue is right," Nanhuang Jiansheng agreed with a smile. "Our ranks are far too different, so it is only natural for the City Lord Nanlan to make separate arrangents for us. Since he only called for you, it is likely that City Lord Nanlan has a reward in store. After all, I would have prepared sothing for you as well if I were him."
"I guess you are right," Lu Tianzi nodded before turning back to the servant. "There is no need to go inform City Lord Nanlan about my return. I will go with you to see City Lord Nanlan."
"Understood, Sir Nanlu," a polite smile broke across the servant's face. "Please follow !"
It did not take long before they arrived at the front hall, where City Lord Nanlan happened to be discussing sothing with Elder Xingng of the Nine Suns Sect.
"Nanlu Tianzi pays my respects to the City Lord and Elder Xingng!" Lu Tianzi clasped his fist towards the two when he entered.
"Hahaha! Take a look at who this is!" City Lord Nanlan broke out into a hearty laugh. "Top ranker of the Scarlet Moon Heroes et, Nanlu Tianzi of the Nine Suns Sect, Bluenight City! Co, take a seat."
"You have done well," Elder Xingng had a big smile on his face as well. "Hearing the na of the Nine Suns Sect being announced in front of the Scarlet Moon Overlord truly made feel an indescribable joy! I have already sent word about this matter back to Bluenight City. I am sure the Sect Master will handsoly reward you upon your return."
"Junior is thankful for the kindness" Lu Tianzi replied.
"This is nothing at all," City Lord Nanlan shook his head. "This ti, you have really earned quite so face back for us. Other than the reward from your sect master, you can expect so good things from after we return to Bluenight City as well!"
"Junior is only doing my best, and do not deserve such rewards," Lu Tianzi answered with the usual pleasantries.
"Hahaha! No need to be humble! But that aside, there is one more matter that we have to settle before we can return," City Lord Nanlan continued, this ti with a slightly more serious tone. "There is sowhere that your Elder Xingng and I have to go tomorrow. Nanlu Tianzi, you will be coming along with us as well."
"May I ask where?" Lu Tianzi asked curiously.
City Lord Nanlan cleared his throat awkwardly before answering. "We will be making a visit to the Lightning Crow Sect."
