Cultivation begins with planting techniques

A clean and quiet place had already been cleared out, and Li Ye had already walked around the area where he had sensed something to confirm it.

With the Holy Tree runes providing a connection, and now transformed into the Void Tree, Li Ye immediately had a basis to apply his various insights into the void.

Even though it was confining its domain and not expanding rashly, it immediately gained a detailed understanding of the void state of its location based solely on the instinctive perception of the Void Tree.

The void crevice where such a colossal entity as the Ancient Tree of the Void was hidden was now exposed at a glance.

Even standing outside this void crevice, so close at hand, the sacred tree runes could only be vaguely perceived and could not be completely located.

But as Li Ye stretched out his hands, they seemed to vanish into nothingness, but in reality, they merged into the void, touching the traces left in the void's crevices.

Using both hands simultaneously to unleash their supernatural powers, they followed the mark and tore through the solid void.

In an instant, the void changed, and ripples spread.

A space was squeezed out from the crevice, roots and branches spread out out of thin air, and a bluish-purple spiritual light soared into the sky, breaking through the clouds and shaking the void, revealing the shape of an ancient tree that was climbing higher and higher between heaven and earth.

Its movements were intense, and its power was astonishing. Judging from this location, it could probably be seen from most of the Demon Abyss!

Li Ye raised an eyebrow, his figure flashed, and he retreated with a group of spirit beasts.

Immediately, the earth surged and spiritual light rippled, as if countless roots and branches were stretching and growing, emitting dense sounds.

At the same time, an inexplicable void force continued to expand and spread, forming a peculiar spatial region in this world, completely different from its surroundings.

At this point, the bluish-purple spiritual light gradually faded and receded, revealing the shape of the ancient tree.

It was exactly the same as the Void Realm Tree, but the spiritual patterns on its trunk were more complex and mysterious. Even a cursory glance was enough to give Li Ye, who was already quite knowledgeable about the Void Realm Tree, a sense of enlightenment, which greatly shocked him.

Its shape resembles a towering peak, standing tall in the world, reaching to the heavens and connecting to the earth, impossible to ignore.

This directly transformed the already easily altered region once again. Amidst the swirling wood energy, vegetation flourished, and life became incredibly vibrant.

The Pure Spirit Willows planted by Li Ye, instead of being squeezed out and having their spiritual energy and vitality stolen by the ancient tree of the Void Realm, actually grew even better under its nourishment.

This elevates the environment of the area it creates to a new level.

Not to mention the Demon Abyss, this entire Ancient Tree Realm can be called the number one cultivation treasure land in the world!

However, the power of this ancient tree emerging from the void is astonishing.

Li Ye noticed with just a cursory observation that there were black and red things clinging to the tree trunk, resembling vines or worms.

It wriggled and eroded the tree trunk like a living thing, causing many parts to be damaged and its inner essence to be destroyed.

Even some of the branches and leaves were stained black and red, as if they were being distorted like other monsters and strange grasses unique to the Demon Abyss.

In reality, his condition was far from good!
On the contrary, upon touching the Spirit Purifying Willow, aided by its aura, the eerie black and red vines clinging to it were immediately stimulated.

As if encountering a formidable enemy, it was initially suppressed, but then its body began to writhe more violently, splitting off fleshy tentacles and driving parts of the completely eroded ancient tree body to strangle several Pure Spirit Willows.

"So this is the culprit that caused the tree's damage? It's quite similar to the other creatures in this godforsaken place, but it's clearly more bizarre and powerful. Perhaps the extremely dense, turbid, and evil energy here earlier was also related to it..."

Li Ye's eyes flashed as he vanished into the void, instantly arriving before the ancient tree in the Void Realm.

Given his status as a Sacred Tree Walker and also a Void Tree, his domain will not exclude him, and he can travel freely.

Then, in a flash of spiritual light, it transformed back into the form of the Pure and Impure Willow.

In an instant, a pure and radiant light shone forth, and willow branches sprouted, bringing with them a deluge of sweet rain. The eerie black and red vines, which could retaliate like wild beasts when threatened by the Pure Spirit Willow, were instantly struck as if by lightning when faced with the Pure Turbid Willow.

The clear, radiant light caused it to suddenly weaken, and its attack dissipated.

The rain, which is a nourishing elixir for normal living beings, is like poison poured on their bodies. They immediately convulse, expel turbid and evil energy, and quickly wither and decay.

It works instantly wherever it touches, causing the strange thing to wriggle and contract wildly.

Although it was destined to die wherever it went, it still managed to survive, and through the eroded opening, it burrowed into the body of the Void Realm Ancient Tree.

Like a parasite that shrinks into its host after being stimulated by external factors.

Even so, the Ancient Tree of the Void continued to vibrate, its condition recovered, and it faintly felt a sense of exhilaration.

Li Ye, however, did not stop at all, disregarding the consumption, and urged the sweet rain to irrigate all the damaged parts of the Void Realm Ancient Tree.

Combined with the already largely restored Void Realm Ancient Tree itself, it strangled the eerie black and red vines.

The commotion caused by the appearance of the ancient tree in the Void Realm was too great; its magnificent trunk was simply impossible to conceal.

This is an inherent characteristic of the Void Tree. Not to mention its enormous size, its influence on the void allows its power and form to be displayed over a range far exceeding what is common sense.

Back when he was still a minor disciple of the Purple Profound Sect, wasn't the phenomenon that appeared when the Ancient Tree Secret Realm was born just like this?

All the cultivators in the Demon Abyss could be seen there, which would probably be enough to attract all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Demon Abyss.

Once they discover this tree, even if they cannot utilize its ability to traverse different realms, the tree's inherent abilities and characteristics alone will be of immense value.

A battle is about to begin.

Regardless of the outcome, it will likely be much more difficult for Li Ye to intervene and try to assimilate it again.

The only thing to do now is to seize every second, address the underlying issues, and begin the process immediately.

Even if it cannot be achieved immediately, it is still a safe choice to plant the Void Fruit in it first and then gradually assimilate it later.

The power and appearance displayed by this ancient Void Tree far surpassed those of Li Ye's Void Tree, which was already close to the fifth rank.

Faced with this erosion that has lasted for countless years, once an opportunity for resolution is found, its instinctive reaction is to continuously try to strangle the parasitic plants inside.

Given the parasitic plant's continuous absorption of its power, it would have been difficult for them to eradicate it.

However, the pure land environment created by the willow tree transformed from plum leaves, along with the sweet rain to dispel evil spirits, provides full assistance.

The giant tree trembled continuously, and thick black and red aura surged forth from its various damaged parts, accompanied by faint, mournful screams.

The condition of the ancient tree in the Void Realm continued to improve, and the parts of the tree trunk that had been eroded by black and red quickly disappeared and returned to normal.

This continued for several hours until the gushing turbid and evil energy was almost completely gone, and the spiritual patterns on the ancient tree in the void began to shimmer, reaching a new level compared to before.

Li Ye directly dispelled the transformation of the purifying and turbid willow essence that had dimmed the spiritual light around him, and returned to his human form.

"There are still some remnants deep inside that need to be gradually eradicated, but they are no longer a threat. Time is of the essence, and this is enough to move on to the next step..."

With a thought, the Void Realm Fruit appeared between his brows, then suddenly etherealized and merged into the Ancient Void Realm Tree. (End of Chapter)
