It expanded from a radius of eight meters to a radius of twenty meters.

To Qi Lin, Lin Jiu, and the others, this transformation was like witnessing a myth. Twenty meters in diameter, which translates to over three hundred square meters, was no smaller than some small villas. Compared to their previous cramped sand house, it was a revolutionary change.

The current Baxia not only has a sand house, but can also cultivate a vegetable garden. It has space to move around. The sand house can be expanded, and it can be arranged to have three bedrooms and one living room, four bedrooms and one living room, two bathrooms, etc.

They finally had room to maneuver.

At the same time, with a body size of twenty meters in diameter, the earth vein power it can mobilize is even greater, and the power it displays will be even stronger. To some extent, this is a huge improvement, and it can truly be considered a behemoth. Its size is so large that it can intimidate some hidden opponents.

"I have never seen anything so incredible. Baxia Dragon Lord, the ancient dragon son, is truly extraordinary."

Lin Jiu secretly swallowed, once again feeling the shock from the Ruins of Return.

The growth of Baxia gave this mobile shelter even greater potential. No wonder Qi Lin wanted to cling to its coattails on the spot. If Lin Jiu didn't have any shame, he felt he could have clung to that coattails too.

"Not bad, at least it's passable. Once we get out, we'll definitely expand this house. We also need to add some greenery here first; the desolation of Guixu is almost depressing."

Ji Tianhao was very satisfied with this. This was a transformation after merging and absorbing the Miracle Holy Crystal, which also saved a lot of resources. Otherwise, to expand to this extent, the resources required would have been enormous. Now that it was all done in one go, it increased the benefits of the laws.

If we want to grow and expand, we can only rely on resources to fill the gap.

Of course, this is not the end.

Then, the small wooden stick and fangs appeared in his hands. After throwing them, the Dragon Lord swallowed them whole. He seemed to have no attachment to the two extraordinary treasures; both were one-time use treasures, and special offensive treasures. The problem was, once used, they were gone. Normal cultivators would treat them as their trump cards.

Used as a trump card.

The two extraordinary treasures were quickly absorbed into the Heart of Miracles as soon as they entered the body.

Immediately afterwards, two strange forces merged into Baxia's body.

brush! !

Immediately afterwards, on Baxia's back, the original Heavenly Stele on either side began to flash with strange light without warning. Two Heavenly Steles, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, grew out of the tortoise shell on its back. They did not reach the height of the first Heavenly Stele; the two newly grown Heavenly Steles were only one meter tall. On the body of one of the steles, the pattern of a small wooden stick was clearly visible, and even the special texture on it was clearly visible, lifelike.

On the other one, the figure of a fierce werewolf appeared, and one could almost feel the bloodlust and fighting spirit emanating from the werewolf's eyes, giving people a tremendous sense of oppression.

These are the Flying Stick Stele and the Werewolf Stele.

The two celestial steles not only possess all the abilities of the original rare treasures, but also have the great power of celestial steles. They have been completely transformed from one-time rare treasures into true permanent celestial steles. This is Baxia's innate divine power - the Sacred Relic Celestial Stele.

"It transforms a one-time use treasure into a permanent one, which can be used at will. Although it requires recharging its power after each use and currently only has the power for one attack, this divine ability has unlimited potential and can grow along with Baxia. In the future, new changes may occur."

A special flame ignited in Ji Tianhao's heart.

These sacred celestial tablets are all classified as rare treasures, meaning that attacks from them are unstoppable and cannot be ignored by anyone. They can deliver a powerful blow to enemies in any environment.

"Two new celestial tablets have been added. It seems that the Dragon Lord has really fused and absorbed those two extraordinary treasures, and they have both become celestial tablets on his back. It's just a pity that it didn't cause the Dragon Lord's size to expand again."

Hu Youni, with her sharp eyes, quickly noticed the two new Heavenly Steles that had appeared on either side of the Heavenly Stele. She already knew that this was a change resulting from the fusion of those two extraordinary treasures.

"I really want to see with my own eyes what kind of powerful combat capabilities these two celestial tablets can display. Although some of the treasures among them are not behaving properly, as long as they are not targeted at us, it's fine."

Qi Lin said with a smile.

Enjoying the tobacco, before any other source of tobacco was available, every puff was precious spiritual nourishment and a reserve of personal ammunition.

Snapped! !

As the Dragon Lord gently patted the ground, streams of soil immediately began to flow from all around, naturally rising up Baxia's back. In many newly created areas, the soil was quickly filled, creating a three-meter-thick layer of the most fertile soil, rich in nutrients and containing a large number of microorganisms.

There are also earthworms and some common insects hiding in the soil, some of which could even be called pests. But at this moment, in the Ruins of Return, even if some of these insects are pests, they still have amazing value and are worth preserving as new life.

Even more remarkably, several fruit trees were transplanted from the surrounding area—one each of common plum and jujube trees—and moved to the Baxia (a type of tree). They were planted in the same area as the previous pear trees to ensure that these fruit trees could be cared for uniformly. As for the other trees, they were not moved.

It's not that other trees aren't important, but planting trees requires resources, especially water. If a permanent water source can't be found, transplanting trees will quickly cause them to wither and die, rendering them worthless. Only fruit trees, which produce resources, deserve special care and resources.

The newly added area on Baxia's back was covered with soil up to three meters thick, which also scraped away a layer of the surrounding ground, leaving only the most fertile part.

"The fragrance of the soil is something that is hard to find in the Ruins of Return, where the soil is all barren land devoid of life."

Su Yue took a deep breath, savoring the unique fragrance in the air—the scent of earth, the scent of nature.

This is a rather luxurious enjoyment in the Ruins of Return.

"Brother Hao won't stop here. This is just the beginning. Twenty meters in radius, reaching a hundred meters in radius in the future will not be a problem."

Hu Youni has high expectations for this.

She had no doubt whatsoever about achieving these goals.

Her eyes gleamed with an unusual light as she looked at Ji Tianhao's retreating figure, her gaze carrying a different kind of intensity. For a woman, the most attractive qualities are always strength and confidence—a young man possessing the qualities of a strong individual and top-tier potential. These qualities translate into a powerful attraction for the opposite sex.

Hu Youni didn't even realize when it started, but the way she looked at Ji Tianhao had changed.

I have an inexplicable admiration for him.

Noticing the gazes behind him, Ji Tianhao turned around and saw Hu Youni. He smiled and said, "The Dragon Lord has completed his transformation and will become even stronger after absorbing the exotic treasure. It should be night now. Let's rest here in the Initial Land for the night and then leave first thing tomorrow morning. More and more alien races will definitely gather outside the Initial Land. Staying here will only attract unnecessary danger."

The initial land, especially one surrounded by numerous alien races, is a special kind of feast. Entering the initial land only grants one an advantage, but what one gains from it does not necessarily mean that it can be possessed or controlled.

Without strength, one will only become prey for the wolves eyeing the prey, torn to pieces.

Not even a dreg was left.

Therefore, continuing to linger in the initial location for an extended period of time is not a good option.

"I agree with knowing when to quit while we're ahead. Anyway, we've already obtained the most precious things in the Initial Land. There's still an unknown zombie king in Tengteng Town. I don't want to see that Thousand Coffins Locking Corpse Array again. It was just a projection before. If the real body appears, who knows what will happen? If we're going to touch it, we should let those alien races outside taste the terror of the zombie king."

Qi Lin decisively expressed his agreement.

"I have no objection, and I don't want to go back to that ancient town. A wise person avoids dangerous situations. We should know how to be content and know when to retire gracefully."

Su Yue nodded in agreement.

The previous experience did indeed have a significant impact on everyone.

No one wants to experience that feeling of being unable to control their own life and death again.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, let's leave the initial place together and enter the Ruins of Return this time. All humans should stick together as much as possible and support each other, especially newcomers like us who have just stepped into the Ruins of Return. We need to watch out for each other and help each other even more."

“I have already established a merchant group and become a free merchant, as well as a traveling merchant who travels all over Guixu. The trade route has just begun, and we don’t have many goods. Fellow Daoist, you are proficient in making talismans. Talismans are an important commodity that can be used in all directions. They are consumables with extremely high commercial value. Why don’t you stay? There will always be a place for you in our team.”

Ji Tianhao looked at Lin Jiu.

This person is not merely a nominal Saint Master of All Realms; his character, morality, and even his skill in the Dao of Talismans are all at the level of a prodigy. At least, among these people, no one can compare to Uncle Nine's attainments in the Dao of Talismans.

"This"

Lin Jiu hesitated for a moment. It would be almost impossible not to be tempted by such a sudden invitation.

Suddenly plunged into the Void, even he felt a sense of bewilderment. This place was completely unknown. Sticking together is a human instinct, but there were some things in his heart that he hadn't immediately changed.
