Yuan Ming silently observed the series of changes caused by this strand of Origin Power within the Undying Tree, feeling greatly astonished. He quickly recalled Hua Zhi ntioning the Power of Ten Thousand Wood Origin.
According to Hua Zhi, the World Tree was a Chaos Spiritual Root born at the dawn of creation, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Trees, containing the Power of Ten Thousand Wood Origin. The Fusang Tree, as a close relative of the World Tree, naturally contained a trace of the Ten Thousand Wood Origin aura.
And now, after the fusion of the Ash Green Tree Bark with the Undying Tree, it surprisingly made the Undying Tree develop the Power of Ten Thousand Wood Origin.
"Could this bark be from the World Tree?" Yuan Ming recalled the various illusions he had just seen, his heart montarily shocked.
"Hey, you kid, truly lucky, huh?" Just then, the voice of Stealing Heaven Tripod Artifact Spirit Kong suddenly rang out, clicking his tongue in wonder.
"Senior Kong, do you an this piece of bark..." Yuan Ming hastily asked.
"Indeed, it's actually a piece of dead bark from the World Tree." Kong confird his guess.
"It's really the World Tree!" Yuan Ming's face lit up with joy.
"Hehe, you kid, truly lucky to have encountered the Heavenly Cicada Mother Qi; otherwise, holding this bark would just be a dead thing." Kong seen Yuan Ming's expression, instead comforted him.
"The Heavenly Cicada Mother Qi, are you referring to the Black Mist just now? Senior, can you explain in detail?" Yuan Ming keenly sensed the information hinted in its words.
"Alright, since I've ntioned so much, let clear the doubts for you. The Heavenly Cicada Mother Qi is a unique Divine Skill innately possessed by the ancient fierce insect—the Six-winged Heavenly Cicada. It appears like Black Mist, capable of accelerating the growth of Six Paths Creatures and inducing the awakening and resurrection of hidden bloodlines." Kong slowly explained.
"Is there truly such a Divine Skill entirely beneficial to others in this world?" Yuan Ming was astonished.
"Oh, where do you get such a good thing? Do you realize, the Six-winged Heavenly Cicada is fond of eating, with an appetite like a bottomless pit, almost needing to eat every mont. The prey it devours daily is several hundred tis its size. With such a demand, how do you think it seeks prey?" Kong asked.
"Senior ans, the Heavenly Cicada Mother Qi is actually used to cultivate food?" Yuan Ming sowhat understood.
"Exactly so, in the Ancient Tis, wherever Heavenly Cicada Mother Qi appeared, they were actually hunting grounds of the Six-winged Heavenly Cicada. Although outsiders saw these places teeming with Exotic Beasts, with terrifying sizes, in reality, they were just lambs waiting to be slaughtered, only waiting for the Six-winged Heavenly Cicada to decide to eat them." Kong spoke with a tone of sarcasm.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming imdiately recalled the gigantic Exotic Beasts he saw in the Abyss, even the Dharma manifestation Great Power Mao Yi had to avoid them, but in the eyes of the Six-winged Heavenly Cicada, they were just tasty als.
Such vast disparity inevitably stirred a sense of indescribable absurdity within Yuan Ming's heart.
"Is there truly such a fierce insect in the Abyss?" Yuan Ming murmured, thinking of many things.
"Isn't it self-evident? Otherwise, why do the demon beasts in the Abyss grow so large? Anyone knowledgeable about the Six-winged Heavenly Cicada would imdiately understand the truth upon seeing the Abyss. But from my observation, that Heavenly Cicada Mother Qi was extrely thin; the Six-winged Heavenly Cicada at the bottom of the Abyss is either a larva or has a problem." Kong said.
Yuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
No matter which case, the probability of encountering the Six-winged Heavenly Cicada is low; rely encountering the Heavenly Cicada Mother Qi almost cost him his life, and he wouldn't want to face any Six-winged Heavenly Cicada again.
"With your current cultivation, it's best to keep this matter to yourself and not leak it to avoid trouble." Kong said, suddenly reminding him.
Yuan Ming nodded, sensing that Kong knew more than he let on, but seeing his unwillingness to speak further, Yuan Ming refrained from asking out of curiosity.
"But to speak again, the Abyss is vast, the release of Heavenly Cicada Mother Qi by the Six-winged Heavenly Cicada has no fixed interval; if unlucky, it may not happen for thousands of years. Your encounter is sheer luck." Kong couldn't help but sigh again.
"Senior's words are mistaken; if it weren't for the World Tree bark helping absorb the Heavenly Cicada Mother Qi, I would have died outside just now. This can't be considered good luck." Yuan Ming shook his head, not feeling fortunate for encountering the Heavenly Cicada Mother Qi.
"I haven't finished speaking. rely encountering Heavenly Cicada Mother Qi alone isn't good luck; obtaining the World Tree bark alone is the sa. But the coincidence lies in encountering both simultaneously and possessing the Undying Tree; that's simply predestined." Kong said.
"What do you an by this, Senior? The Undying Tree has fused with the World Tree bark, apart from gaining this strand of Origin Power, it seems not yielding much more benefits." Yuan Ming felt slightly regretful.
"That strand of Ten Thousand Wood Origin Power is the greatest benefit, which you cannot yet comprehend. The World Tree is the origin of ten thousand woods, the only one in the heavens and earth, destroyed in the Ancient Tis. Throughout history, countless cultivators have exhausted efforts to revive the World Tree, all failed. Only you barely succeeded halfway." Kong spoke.
"Is that so..." Yuan Ming still didn't quite grasp it.
"The World Tree has long been utterly dead. Even encountering the Heavenly Cicada Mother Qi, it can't be revived, with a tiny chance of reawaken for a few breaths, then decay again. Coincidentally, your body contains the closest lineage to the World Tree—the Undying Tree. The two fused and, leveraging the Undying Tree's ability, stabilized that World Tree bark's vitality. Although feeble, it gained the possibility of being replanted anew. You tell , are you not riding on the crest of good fortune?" Kong sighed once more.
Yuan Ming heard the words and nodded sowhat woodenly.
"Cultivate this World Tree fragnt well; don't waste this heavenly opportunity. Given ti, if you can truly resurrect it and grow it into a new World Tree, not only will achieving Mahayana be almost certain, but you might even have a chance to reach True Immortal!" In the Stealing Heaven Tripod Space, Kong saw Yuan Ming still bewildered and rolled his eyes in annoyance, saying.
"Is Senior speaking the truth?" Yuan Ming's body shook, and he hastily asked.
"If you don't believe , wait until the day the World Tree truly revives, and you'll see whether what I said is true or false." Kong snorted, his voice falling silent once more.
From then on, no matter how Yuan Ming called, there was no response.
Yuan Ming sighed helplessly, remaining indifferent for a mont, and ultimately could only put the matter aside temporarily, shifting focus to checking on Lei Yu's condition.
After the black energy in Lei Yu's Sea of Consciousness was absorbed, its Divine Sense finally returned to normal. It noticed that Yuan Ming seed busy, so it dared not make a sound. Now that Yuan Ming was back to normal, it hastily approached and prostrated on the ground.
"Lei Yu's madness attacking Master deserves death. Please punish ," it said, its voice trembling.
"Get up, it wasn't your intention," Yuan Ming comforted.
"Please punish !" However, Lei Yu refused to rise, its voice trembling but its attitude exceptionally firm.
"How about this: later, when the Heavenly Cicada Mother Qi dissipates, I want you to carry the Stealing Heaven Tripod with full speed to Spiritual Ape Island, ensuring arrival before Mao Yi and his people co out. If achieved, consider your atonent fulfilled, no rewards or punishnts. If not, then severe punishnt will follow." Yuan Ming pondered for a mont, quickly having an idea.
He took the Pill King Pavilion inheritance, and neither Dongji Palace, Black Evil Sect, nor Luo Jia Mountain and Azure Dragon Pond would let him go. He must hurry back to take everything on Spiritual Ape Island and hide it away.
No matter whether Lei Yu attacked him just now, this task had to be entrusted to it as an excuse for atonent, simply because Yuan Ming didn't want to punish his loyal spirit pet at this critical mont.
"Yes!" Lei Yu felt it was Yuan Ming's rcy and quickly responded.
"Lei Yu, you broke through due to the Heavenly Cicada Mother Qi, which might be different from a regular breakthrough. Do you feel any discomfort?" Yuan Ming asked again.
"Um... It seems there's no discomfort, but if there is any..." Lei Yu self-checked for a while, mumbling softly, suddenly enveloped in a bolt of lightning, its form rapidly changing. The latest chapters are always available first on *.
Monts later, before Yuan Ming stood a young man of handso appearance with short, fine black and purple hair, sharp eyes, and an aquiline nose, looking sowhat fierce. His appearance seed to cloak him in a robe made of feathers, hiding his body and limbs entirely.
Yet in the next instant, the purple-black "robe" abruptly opened, spreading to both sides, appearing startlingly like Lei Yu's wings before it was transford.
"After breaking through to Level 5, you can finally shape-shift? Incomplete transformation, it seems your bloodline level is not low." Yuan Ming looked at the transford Lei Yu with interest and nodded.
"Though I hold the Thunder Peng Bloodline, it's not pure. Reaching my current cultivation level is all thanks to Master's nurturing," the young man half-knelt on the ground, eyes full of gratitude.
"I rely offered an opportunity; seizing the chance to break through was your own doing. However, these wings are quite conspicuous, so keep them folded behind you like a feathered cloak. It's also a kind of disguise." Yuan Ming extended the branches of the Undying Tree like human hands, patting Lei Yu's wings.
"Yes." Lei Yu replied.
Subsequently, Yuan Ming checked Hua Zhi's status. There was no black energy surrounding her Sea of Consciousness, and she quickly awoke, hearing from Yuan Ming about everything that had just happened, leaving her incredibly surprised.
Seeing Lei Yu and Hua Zhi recover, Yuan Ming employed his Divine Sense to explore the outside world, discovering that the Heavenly Cicada Mother Qi had disappeared, and imdiately released Lei Yu, ordering it to head swiftly toward Dongji Sea with the Stealing Heaven Tripod.
He himself remained in the Stealing Heaven Tripod, thoroughly examining his internal condition.
Thanks to the Heavenly Cicada Mother Qi, the mana within him had increased significantly. Although it hadn't reached the peak of Middle-stage Returning Void, it had made considerable progress.
According to Yuan Ming's assessnt, with the current mana level, even without consuming Jade Liquid Pill in the future, he was confident of reaching the Late Stage of Returning Void within ten years.
In terms of Body Cultivation, his Qi Blood Power had likewise skyrocketed, finally breaking through to the mid-stage Wanxiang Body.
This kind of enhancent ultimately took advantage of shortcuts, and now Yuan Ming's mana and Qi Blood Power are quite unstable, with a possibility of regression at any mont.
