Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 270 Expectations and Miraculous Effects

Just as Li Ye was trying to let the Sky World Tree come into contact with the tree species.

Another figure crossed the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains and quietly arrived at the border of the four countries.

He looked ordinary, with gray hair on his temples. He was wearing an ordinary black robe and holding an ebony staff. He had a hooked nose and triangular eyes that revealed a bit of gloom.

His magical power has already reached the peak of the early stage of the Golden Core, and seems to be not far from the middle stage of the Golden Core.

At this time, when he came across the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains, his aura was relatively calm and he did not seem to be in a panic.

He looked out at the mountains and rivers ahead, feeling the free spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"The scenery is quite nice...but the spiritual energy is really too thin. I'm afraid there aren't even a few third-level spiritual veins!"

"In a place like this with so little spiritual energy, demons have descended to invade, and even formed a secret demon cave for them to settle down safely. It's really strange..."

He touched his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"And I heard from you that it all started in a secret realm of ancient trees. I wonder if it has anything to do with the Wood God Sect, which was briefly mentioned in the sect's fragmented secrets?"

"This sect seems to be a sect that reached the God Transformation stage ten thousand years ago. If there are indeed any relics hidden deep within the Demon Cave, it might be of great help to me in reviving the sect!"

"Even if I can't find them, if I can master all of these demons, they can provide some benefits to my magic skills!"

"Especially once the Demon Cave Secret Realm is completed, it might be able to breed the essence of demonic energy. If I can obtain it and refine it, my chances of breaking through to the middle stage of the Golden Core will be greatly increased!"

Muttering in a low voice, this Jindan cultivator had a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

He didn't know what the Yuanying sects would think of the demonic disaster in this place after Brother Wen, the envoy who came to investigate the situation, returned.

Perhaps the highest level is only the Golden Core level, which is really not something that the Yuanying Sect can take seriously.

Not to mention that the channel to the lower realm has long been closed, so it is impossible for a greater threat to develop.

It's not worth much, and there aren't any major hidden dangers, so perhaps they don't want to come and deal with it.

At least for him, a Jindan cultivator whose sect is in ruins and who is responsible for reviving the hope of the former Yuanying sect, it is quite valuable.

Using the sect's secret magic skills, he could absorb and refine the demonic energy of the demons... Even if there were some hidden dangers, it would allow him to achieve a significant improvement in his cultivation in a short period of time!

Thoughts raced through his mind, and then the cultivator disappeared and headed straight towards Huanguo.

………………

Pingyang Mountain.

Li Ye took out a tree seed and let the branches of the Sky Realm Tree touch it and roll it away. His face was full of anticipation and curiosity throughout the whole process.

The Sky Realm Tree has always been interested in tree species of the same origin. If it were not for the limited seeds it had, it would have wanted to see what effect it could have by letting it absorb this thing!
I saw that the tree seed was a branch that had been rolled up. Before it returned to the trunk of the tree, new buds were sprouting from the branch.

The tree species, which was originally quite strong and indestructible, seemed to be completely ineffective in front of this tender sprout, and it directly penetrated into the tree species.

As the green color and the silver light representing the void emerged, the tree species shrank rapidly until it was completely absorbed by the tender bud and turned into a part of the branch.

And the strand of origin from the mother tree of the Sky Realm Tree was also integrated into the Sky Realm Tree.

The tree's aura subtly shifted. Though it wasn't immediately apparent, Li Ye could sense immense joy and satisfaction, as well as a yearning for the remaining species. At the same time, new information flashed across his vision panel.

[......]
The fourth-tier spiritual plant [Jianmu subspecies, Sky Realm Tree Strain] that you've connected with absorbs the same origin, slightly improving its essence, deepening its understanding, and solidifying its spiritual essence by +1%...
Li Ye's expression was slightly dazed, and he was drawn into enlightenment by the feedback from the Sky Realm Tree.

This time, what he saw did not seem to be his own Sky Realm Tree.

Instead, he was replaced by the mother tree of the sky world that had suppressed the passage to the next world for ten thousand years. However, he woke up from it in just one or two breaths.

But the feeling of transforming into a giant tree, connecting heaven and earth with its wood body, thereby forming a void, constructing a secret realm, and even crossing the two worlds was deeply engraved in his mind.

"This……"

Li Ye stood there for a long time. When he came to his senses, he could not hide the shock on his face.

"The Mother Tree of the Void Realm... As the power of the realm grows stronger, it can not only stand on its own, but also truly possesses the ability to connect with other realms!"

"Could this miraculous power come from the same great power that connects the mortal world and the immortal world?"

He murmured, still not fully digesting his recent realization.

It not only involves the wood element, but is also related to the many mysteries of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the changes in the void.

If he had not reached the third level of formation, and had not begun to understand how to utilize the power of the void, I'm afraid he would not even be able to see this seemingly simple point!
"I've only just reached the Golden Core stage, yet I've already encountered such profound mysteries. Although I haven't been able to fully comprehend most of what I've seen in such a short time, and can only glimpse the surface... my Daoist realm has indeed been elevated significantly..."

"This level of understanding and attainment is currently only reflected in the Dao. If I can break through to the Nascent Soul stage, perhaps this level of understanding will be able to exert greater effects..."

Li Ye was surprised and happy, and exclaimed deeply.

Only then did he notice the change in the information on the panel, and a greater joy surged in his heart.

According to his previous deduction, in order to complete the third solidification of spiritual essence, even taking into account that the solidification process will be more efficient after the upgrade of the Sky Realm Tree, the time required will be at least between fifty and one hundred years.

The essence and blood act as fertilizer to speed up the growth of the Sky Realm Tree, which greatly speeds up the progress.

This tree species provides one percent feedback at a time, and also comes with some information and insights about the mother tree of the Void Realm.

Such efficiency is truly amazing!
If used together with essence and blood, I'm afraid the entire solidification process can be advanced to nearly half within a short period of time!
It is unknown how many variables the decades of time saved will bring.

The sooner his aptitude is improved, the more efficient Li Ye's practice will be, which will be of great benefit to his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

As soon as he thought of this, his gaze towards the remaining tree species in his hand became extremely hot.

If the realization just now had not been so profound and had not consumed a lot of my mental energy, I am afraid that the understanding I would gain from continuing to try would have been greatly reduced.

Li Ye was really afraid that he would not be able to help but feed these seeds to the Sky World Tree at once!
"However... since the tree species are indeed beneficial to the essence of the Sky Realm Tree, then the branches of the mother tree will only be more effective..."

He seemed to be thinking about something, and was slightly excited.
"Once I get it and let the Sky Realm Tree refine and absorb it, it might help me achieve the third-level [Heavenly Transcendent] attribute in an instant, elevating my spiritual roots to earthly spiritual roots... and even hopefully the fourth-level attribute!"

It was just speculation before, but now it has been sufficiently verified.

This natural spiritual root talent...doesn't seem so far away for him!
