Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family Chapter 628 - 476: Zhang Wen and the Ancient Tree of Faith2

’Hiss... The last ti I felt this kind of pain was twelve years ago, I rember that was when I was watching the duel between the still weak Star Venerable and Li Changshou in Si State, and ended up being injured by the Chen Family Ancestor protecting from the side....’

’How long can I hold on....’

The body of the Nirvana Realm is not omnipotent.

Especially without any energy reserves, heavily injured, and unable to absorb energy from the outside, this Nirvana Realm physical body was the last straw that broke Zhang Wen down.

The Nirvana physical body’s power is strong, but correspondingly, the energy consumption is extrely astonishing.

Usually, with enough reserves and the ability to absorb energy from the outside, this flaw never manifests, but for Zhang Wen right now, every action he makes is consuming the essence of this physical shell, and in the end, the body even started to decompose his exposed muscles to maintain survival energy.

Finally.

After a burst of dizziness, Zhang Wen, uncertain of how far he actually walked, fell to the ground.

Blankly staring at the pitch-black sky above.

Pupils gradually losing focus.

The last thought that arose in Zhang Wen’s mind before falling into a coma was actually ’, a great cultivator, dying for so inexplicable reason in such a remote place, I wonder if after my death, cultivators from the Celestial Profound Realm will find my remains and bring back to my holand....’

Zhang Wen didn’t know that.

During this ti just before he lost consciousness, while his physical body was overdrawn to the limit and had no capacity for other concerns, behind him, there were actually two ’little tails’, one big and one small, following closely.

And at this mont, when he finally fainted.

Those two sneaky ’little tails’, couldn’t help but move closer with curiosity, apprehension, and excitent.

"Rawani Gua?"

"Hasama Li ah Do Wa Gua!"

"Hey!"

"Oolahlalala, hey hey hey...."

Two Cosmic Realm natives, shaped like black mud forming spirits, with human contours, after so exchange and quarrel, the bigger one carried the fallen Zhang Wen, slowly moving towards their ’ho’ with the smaller one’s support.

No idea if their intention is to take Zhang Wen ho to eat him.

...

When Zhang Wen opened his eyes again, he was sowhat surprised.

Given his condition before fainting, Zhang Wen thought he was already sure to die then.

Unexpectedly, he could still be alive?

But, where is this place?

Dark.

Cold.

Damp.

Confined.

He seed to be buried in a hole?

Wait, was he buried or is the afterlife in the Cosmic Realm just like this?

After pondering for a while, Zhang Wen still felt that ’already dead’ seed more reliable, because he found he ’didn’t feel pain’, or rather, he could no longer sense his Nirvana Realm physical body, didn’t feel his breath, couldn’t hear any sounds, even his view couldn’t change..... the only sense retained was this darkness in front of him.

’Am I really dead?’

"No, you are not dead, outsider, I must say, you are very lucky, in near-death circumstances, you encountered my clan mbers, they brought you back."

’Who’s speaking?’

"It’s .... In terms used by your Human Race, I should be a tree, a tree that has gained essence, and obtained the worship of a race, becoming a Tree Demon empowered by faith."

’Tree Demon? Cosmic Realm native?!’

"That’s right."

’Then am I now inside of you?!’

"You are indeed inside my body.... Please don’t be excited, your body is seriously injured, my clan placed you inside my trunk hoping to use my tree sap to nurture your body, but... although I don’t want to admit it, outsider, your life level seems higher than mine, just maintaining to prevent your body from further deterioration has already consud nearly thirty percent of my energy, if you cause damage to your body due to emotional agitation, I might stop this treatnt."

From the words, one can hear that this Cosmic Realm Tree Demon is different from the one Zhang Wen t before.

The previous one just wanted to eat Zhang Wen, but surprisingly this one is saving him!

As for why Zhang Wen can’t sense his body now.

In actuality, Zhang Wen is being soaked in the energy sap stored inside the tree body, and while this sap helps ease Zhang Wen’s injuries, it also ’numbs’ and ’suppresses’ his physical body in another way.

In other words, he is currently soaked in a pile of anesthetic, if he can move that would indeed be strange.

’Are you sure you are not going to eat ?’

"I do not enjoy digesting life forms, if given a choice, I prefer nutrients from the soil and occasional streams of energy flowing in from the sky sculpted by the Ancient Gods.... Please don’t think I’m deceiving you, using terms from the Human Race, right now, you are actually feeding on , although this is by my consent."

’Do you an the part of tree sap used to repair my body?’

"Yes, this is my energy reserve, ant for developing my roots to make them sturdier and help absorb more nutrients, yet now it’s used to heal you, which impedes my growth, and if this continues, perhaps before you fully recover, I will be entirely consud by you."

’Uh... although I don’t know if what you say is true, but... sorry, you don’t need to help .’

"Why? Do you not wish to survive?"

’No, I want to, but I am Zhang Wen, if my life continuation ans ending a life that aids as an exchange, then I would rather die than live like this.’

"Your thought is hard for to understand, but rest assured, as long as you don’t move recklessly, with my clan’s energy support, I can probably continue to aid your recovery for a long ti, at least before the next severe winter arrives, your body will recover to a healthier state, then I will cease the treatnt and expel you from my body."

’Your words sound strange, um, the kind of health level you ntioned, will it cause much damage to you?’

"It will, but I am willing, besides, you are the first life from outside the Cosmic Realm my tribe has encountered, if possible, both my tribe and I are willing to pay a certain price to exchange for your survival."

’This... I am extrely grateful, but rest assured, I will repay you in the future, won’t let your effort be wasted in vain.’

"I believe you."

’Um, by the way, how are you conversing with , is it through consciousness, or did you read my mory and learn Celestial Profound Realm’s language from ?’

"You guessed wrong."

’What?’

"In fact, I do not know the specific aning of the words emitted by your consciousness, I just observe the fluctuations of intentions you emanate through Spiritual Sense, then use my thod to communicate with you.... In reality, for , there’s no existence of such a thing as language, being a Tree of Faith, my communication with life forms is by guessing and interpreting the intention fluctuations emitted by life forms, then responding with similar fluctuations."

’..... Don’t quite understand, but you seem very impressive.’

"You do not need to understand, after all, our life forms differ, although in terms of life level, you should be higher than , yet in my view, your life level is incomplete, like an.... evolved life level acquired postnatally, and this level of evolution is very defective, so much so that in my eyes you are not a complete life form, rather a part of a higher life form..... used for feeding like my roots for nutrient absorption."

Zhang Wen: "..."

Silence.

A long silence.

For so reason, despite this entity claiming to be a Tree of Faith having no prior contact with the Celestial Profound Realm, Zhang Wen felt what the other said was quite reasonable, summarizing the Celestial Profound Realm’s cultivation path almost with simple words!
