Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 463 Harvest 3
Wei Xi first calmed down the flustered Qin Feng.

Secondly, Wei Xi went to great lengths to get Qin Feng to set up the magic array again.

This time, however, things need to be done as slowly as possible, because Wei Xi needs to sort out the memories of the coccyx.

“A stroke of luck amidst misfortune,” Wei Xi thought with a fierce glint in his eyes, “I went to Nanjiang first, otherwise I would have really been trapped here to die.”

Wei Xi's ferocity wasn't entirely directed at Wei Lu; a large part of it stemmed from his dissatisfaction with the Everlasting Tree.

Of course, Wei Xi, with her vengeful nature, would never allow herself to be schemed against by Mu Tou for nothing: she wanted to take this opportunity to completely make her "true self" work for her.

Don't think that the Immortal Tree gave Wei Xi his "True Self" for nothing! This was something Wei Xi obtained in exchange for the erasure of a part of his memory!

Thinking of this, Wei Xi felt a pang of pain in his heart—who knew that Wei Xi No. 2 was a fragment of his own memory!
No wonder he was so cunning and clever!

"That old blockhead never tells the truth," Wei Xi cursed inwardly. "He says the [true self] is part of the Immortal Tree, but who knows what he's up to? This might be an opportunity."

While Wei Xi was plotting his evil scheme, Qin Feng had already begun to act.

It must be said that Qin Feng's mastery of spiritual power far surpasses that of other cultivators his age. He controlled it exactly as Wei had instructed, so slowly that the spiritual power could be seen tracing the veins of the leaves with the naked eye.

However, Wei Xi's physical constitution and energy center were not up to the task and he was unable to support the high-intensity expenditure of spiritual energy for a long period of time.

Even with the pills that replenished his spiritual energy, Wei Xi had very limited time to operate.

Wei Xi closed his eyes, trying to minimize the tree's impact on him.

He mobilized the spiritual energy in his dantian, letting it spread along his bones to the [true self] that had been inserted into his abdomen. The cold spiritual energy slowly invaded the wooden object, and he felt a sense of rejection.

But as spiritual power increased, that repulsion seemed to be frozen and gradually subsided.

Taking advantage of the situation, Wei Xi once again became the Everlasting Tree.

More precisely, Wei Xi usurped a portion of the power of the Everlasting Tree by controlling a part of it.

With the power of memory, Wei Xi could see the tree of memories that Qin Feng was drawing without even opening his eyes.

This tree is so lush and verdant that it's clear the tailbone has been trapped here for years without being in a daze.

Although Wei Xi didn't know where it got so many memories from—it was so easy to fool thousands of years ago.

Wei Xi, who was full of complaints, cut into the tree trunk: her goal was to find the annual rings belonging to the tail end.

The tree's growth rings were extremely twisted and disordered, which was exactly what Wei Xi had expected.

Having anticipated this, Wei Xi quickly stabilized his spiritual power and carefully avoided the intertwined rings of memories.

When discussing the plan to access the coccyx memories with Qin Feng, Wei Xi mentally considered several scenarios:
In the first and best-case scenario, the tailbone is clear-headed and possesses a wealth of hidden information in its memories. Wei Xi only needs to find the memory of when it was suppressed.
The second possibility is that the memory rings in the coccyx are extremely disordered. This is not incomprehensible; any conscious life form imprisoned for thousands of years would go insane.
There is another more complicated situation, but the current state of the Bone Reef Sea Monster's mixed abilities forces Wei Xi to consider this possibility.

That is, the memory rings of the coccyx contain a large amount of redundant memories.

Considering the abilities Yu Xianzhou assigned to Wei Lu, Wei Xi felt he was about to be severely tormented by the Rings of Memory.

However, Wei Xi thought this approach was feasible, as the suppression of Dead Water City was nothing more than formations or magical artifacts.

The monsters from thousands of years ago were beyond our capabilities, but the cultivators of thousands of years later are a perfect match for us.

At worst, I can try to enter the area a few more times. I need to save my life before I can squander the remaining spirit stones in my storage bag!

Wei Xi said he is ready to go!

According to Wei Xi's understanding, since spiritual energy is derived from yin and yang energy, the two should be quite compatible.

At least Wei Xi can use both Yin-Yang Qi and spiritual Qi. In that case, it becomes possible to use spiritual power to access the memory rings—the former is essentially a condensed form of spiritual Qi (using the cultivator's Qi Palace), while the latter is a creation of Yin-Yang Qi.

Wei Xi breathed a sigh of relief as he delved into the memories of the tailbone, then devoted himself entirely to searching those memories.

This demonstrates both extreme confidence in one's own ideas and a sense of responsibility towards Qin Feng's life.

Manipulating the icy blue spiritual power, Wei Xi carefully discerned those chaotic memories.

Accepting other people's memories is never an easy thing. In Wei Xi's existing memories, strictly speaking, she has only accepted the memories of demon beasts through the help of the Heaven and Earth meridians.

Those memories belonged to the demonic beasts that Yu Xianzhou had killed and stripped away, and they weren't very large. Even so, Wei Xi still suffered greatly.

Having learned from past mistakes, Wei Xi chose the approach of maximizing the adaptation of trees.

The logic is simple: if the Everlasting Wood would be severely injured every time it manipulated the power of memory, it would never dominate the Southern River.

Conversely, trees might be the means by which memories are manipulated.

In terms of talent, Qin Feng, who possesses Wei Xi's innate talent, is more suitable for manipulating memories. However, Wei Xi is currently immobile and his proficiency is not as good as Qin Feng's, so he is unable to undertake the task of constructing the magic array.

Imagine herself as a tree, and Wei Xi's spiritual power begins to explore the rings of her memories. She descends to the very bottom of the trunk, searching for the earliest memories. By disturbing multiple rings, she accesses multiple segments of memories, confirming that the main body of the memories belongs to the coccyx.

Then Wei Xi luxuriously returned to the middle of his memory, intending to divide the tree trunk to confirm the time nodes and minimize the workload.

After all, Wei Xi only needs the memory of the sealed tailbone; searching every inch of the tree trunk and every ring of its trunk is simply unrealistic.

After exhausting himself three times, Wei Xi finally determined the time period during which the seal would occur by dividing the area.

In fact, if the memory rings weren't so distorted, the straight tree trunk wouldn't need so much spiritual power to be divided.

However, Tail's ability encompasses too many memories within the sea, and this ultimate brother-obsessed creature even contains a large amount of stagnant memories.

It should be noted that Yuhan's strength far surpasses that of Weilu. The memory rings of just one of its demonic beasts caused a huge impact on Weilu's growth rings, resulting in severe deformation, breakage, and displacement. Not to mention the memories of others that Weilu has contained over the long years.

Of course, the comparison of strength that Wei Xi mentioned was something that happened before Yu Han died.

On her fourth attempt, Wei Xi finally found the memory rings of the Eastern Yi before and after the upheaval at the junction of the tree trunk and a branch.

Taking a deep breath and closing his eyes, Wei Xi manipulated his spiritual power to dissect this memory.

The beginning of the cycle was when Yu Xianzhou blew up the furnace, and Wei Lu fell into a coma. When it woke up, Lue Xi took over the administration of Dongyi.

The first to notice something was wrong was Tunqing, who was cornered in the furnace by Luexi and sent back with a few words. Not long after, Weilu heard that its youngest brother had been punished for delaying his duties and was temporarily removed from Dongyi.

The tail section, hidden in the passageway of the weapon-refining furnace, was relatively isolated from information. His memories after that consisted of spacing out and eating.

Until that day came, this part of his memory broke down, and Wei couldn't accept it. He only knew that Zuo Fei had come.

Fortunately, Wei Xi had witnessed this part firsthand, which didn't hinder her overall grasp of the situation.

Due to the sheer volume of information, the outer rings of the tree miraculously continued to grow!

Wei Xi, who had become quite adept at it, quickly began to review the documents. As she absorbed the memories, a storm raged within her.

But this time, Wei Xi carefully controlled her emotions, because she sensed that with the death of the tailbone, the rings of its memories were becoming increasingly unstable.

If you don't control your spiritual energy well at this moment, you might lose this precious opportunity.

But what happened next made Wei Xiyu exclaim inwardly, "How could this be!"
