Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 462 Harvest 2
Simply put, the tailbone that was hiding behind the wall and absorbing spiritual energy is gone, so why not use spiritual energy to blast open this wretched place?

Besides, there's no reason why Wei Xi, thousands of years later, wouldn't be able to solve something that cultivators could figure out thousands of years ago.

Of course, Wei Xi wasn't an arrogant person. Having just met Zuo Fei, she found it difficult to have unrealistic fantasies about his abilities.

In no time, Qin Feng, having consumed the potent elixir, used Gao Han to attack the surrounding restrictions.

Although Wei and Qin had exchanged their innate talents, Qin Feng's sensitivity to and mastery of spiritual energy was still unmatched by Wei Xi.

That's talent, so unreasonable.

Qin Feng wielded her sword with effortless grace. Her half-human, half-snake form did not hinder her movements; on the contrary, she brought out the ultimate in flexibility and speed. In an instant, pale green spiritual energy precisely landed on the invisible barrier, forming an ingenious magic array.

Wei Xi watched with a sense of satisfaction, momentarily forgetting the danger he was in.

Although she was adept at constructing magic arrays, Qin Feng still found it novel—her innate talent was of extremely high purity ice attribute, and this was the first time she had used wood attribute spiritual power by borrowing Wei Xi's innate talent.

Therefore, Qin Feng focused all his attention on comparing the differences between the two spiritual energies.

Adhering to a rigorous academic spirit, Qin Feng did not move as boldly as usual, but slowed down his movements to control the released spiritual power and carefully maintained the structure of the temporary magic array.

Slow, but only relatively slow.

Before Wei could fully appreciate the scene, the completed magic array emitted a soft green light. The blocked seawater gathered along the direction of the spiritual energy flow to form the shape of a tree, with lush branches and leaves, swaying gracefully, enveloping the tidal pool.

Wei Xi, completely bewildered: ?
But Wei Xi noticed the tree's unusualness almost immediately.

It was a heart-stopping sense of familiarity.

Qin Feng, oblivious to anything amiss, was happily sharing his user experience, "It's gentler than ice, but not like the gentleness of water; it has more vitality! No wonder most medicine and alchemy practitioners have wood-attribute physiques!"

"Xiao Xi, are you really not considering becoming a medicine cultivator? The sect has a full range of career paths, to say the least!"

Unfortunately, Wei Xi didn't hear a single word of what was being shared—her attention was completely absorbed by the tree.

"I must have seen this tree before!" Wei Xi murmured to himself.

This tree, formed by flowing water, is difficult to describe in words, partly due to Wei Xi's limited knowledge, but more so because its shape is unpredictable and can distort one's perception.

Wei Xi's brain was almost shut down, leaving only instinct to think.

Her thoughts were now oscillating between "This tree is so big" and "It looks so familiar," and a passion to become a tree was rising in her turbulent consciousness.

"Become a tree, and the wind, frost, rain, and snow will become my nourishment! Become a tree, and stretch my branches to the sky, to shade the sun and the moon! Become a tree, and provide shelter for my people, with hymns strung together to form patches of new green!"

"My body is a tree, a forest, the origin of all trees! Stretching for thousands of miles, etched for ten thousand years!"

In a daze, Wei Xi seemed to have truly transformed into a tree seed, taking root in moist soil, dry sand, barren Gobi desert, fertile grassland, broken rocks, and bitter salt flats, growing roots comfortably or struggling to break through the soil.

At that moment, her branches surged with boundless vitality, devoid of any other thoughts but the will to live and the joy of life!

The tree in front of him suddenly disappeared, and Wei Xi, who was overjoyed to be the tree, felt a stomachache as his first reaction.

Wei Xi, who had collapsed to the ground, struggled to move her eyes. A piece of dark wood stood near her navel. Along with the blood, she also coughed up her pendant-shaped Qiankun bag.

Then came the dull pain from the wound in my abdomen.

Wei Xi's face contorted in pain—he remembered! He remembered everything! That tree was the Everlasting Tree! The Everlasting Tree at its peak!

This is revenge! Wei Xi thought painfully, what has that old blockhead given her! Her [id] could have been awakened in a gentler way, so why did he have to open a hole in it!

Wei Xi, battered and partially paralyzed, didn't even have the strength to pull out the "Id," so it was Qin Feng, who crawled back, who managed to pull out the unfortunate piece of wood.

While waiting, Wei Xi desperately tried to recall the details of what had just happened.

Memory can be quite interesting sometimes. When you try your best to grasp it, all you can hold in your hand is a blur. Trying to recall every single detail is as difficult as climbing to heaven.

The sea of ​​memories was churning, and Wei Xi was dizzy from being battered by the waves of his own shattered memories.

The sense of belonging to the tree had not yet faded, and Wei Xi missed that vibrant vitality. Without any lingering attachment, he fled the sea of ​​memories and turned to the embrace of the tree.

Wei Xi secretly resented the old tree, Changshengmu, for doing nothing good, but his thoughts uncontrollably expanded into a lush and leafy tree.

After putting aside all her random thoughts, Wei Xi was quite successful at being a tree. This time, she was a sapling in a forest, surrounded by trees of varying heights.

After the initial surprise, Wei Xi quickly rose to power, becoming a proud and self-satisfied tree, monopolizing the sunlight and enjoying the rain, her annual rings expanding layer by layer, growing nearly three feet taller than her peers.

Of course, the journey was fraught with wind, frost, rain, and snow. Torrential downpours and hailstones the size of bowls ravaged Wei Xi, this tree that stood out among the trees.

Wei Xi stood up, arrogantly accepting the trial from heaven and earth. Her gaze was proud, and the other trees lowered their heads in shame.

All of this is recorded by the tree rings, but Wei Xi doesn't care, because after the storm, every surviving leaf is a memory of the battle, together forming this tree.

"This tree of memories!"

Wei Xi's eyes widened suddenly; she finally understood why she had lost that memory.

“I didn’t lose that memory at all, and nothing erased the memory of the training grounds,” Wei Xi spat out a mouthful of blood, finally catching his breath. “It was erased by my own hands, right here at Jiu’ai Mountain.”

Qin Feng slightly turned Wei Xi's head—to prevent her from choking on the blood clots—but Wei Xi's thoughts became incredibly clear again:

She was confused by the words of the Everlasting Tree. The old tree hadn't lied to her, but its words were vague and cryptic, entirely the logic of a tree. The Everlasting Tree governs memories; rather than saying that the tree rings could extract "Wei Xi" at a certain point in time, it would be more accurate to say that it could extract a specific memory.

The Everlasting Wood extracted a piece of Wei Xi's memory and created that clone.

As for whether Old Wood intentionally or unintentionally selected the memories of the Soul-Swallowing Trial Grounds, Wei Xi held a reserved attitude.

After all, the Longevity Tree has an unclear connection with the demonic beasts like Yu Xianzhou, so who knows what kind of tricks it's up to?

Wei Xi never expected that he would stumble upon a method in Dongyi to use the "id" to drive the growth rings—applying the logic of trees and mastering memory.

An unexpected surprise, but more importantly, Wei Xi figured out a way to leave this place.

Wei Xi: I'm not human anymore!
