Primordial Era: I, Yuan Hong, am solely focused on stability; humanity remains clear-headed

Chapter 284 The Little Laurel Tree is in Hand!

Looking at the terrifying Yin energy still lingering outside the laurel tree, Yuan Hong sighed inwardly, shook his head, and stopped thinking about it.

Although he had stronger methods, he could have chosen to unleash his full power, using all his treasures and trump cards to obtain more laurel branches, but that would have been meaningless.

With such a powerful Taiyin star as its backing, the laurel tree is destined to be unable to be taken away by him in large quantities.

After all, the Taiyin Star is a half-step primordial world that surpasses the Great Thousand Worlds. Although it is impossible for it to be condensed into one and truly exert the power of a saint, its power is inexhaustible and never runs dry.

The portion of primordial power that was mobilized just now was enough to put immense pressure on Yuan Hong. If he were to completely anger Taiyin Star, it would be a case of more harm than good.

In that case, Yuan Hong will probably be permanently blacklisted and will probably never be able to come to Taiyin Star again.

"The laurel tree is already considered part of the Taiyin Star; no one can remove it, otherwise they will inevitably suffer a backlash from the Taiyin Dao..."

Yuan Hong instinctively understood that the reason the sage did not forcibly take away the laurel tree was probably because he was mindful of the great principles of heaven and earth.

After all, under normal circumstances, the resurgence of the will of the stars, and even the mobilization of the power of the stars' origin to attack and kill invaders, is a situation that has almost never been heard of in the primordial world.

This situation would not occur unless something violates the fundamental principles of heaven and earth.

It can be said that as long as the laurel tree is not touched, even the ancient demon queen Xihe and others from the Heavenly Court of the demon race would not be able to mobilize the original power of the Taiyin star. At most, they could only use some superficial Taiyin star power to enhance some formations, but it would not be too powerful!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so easily wiped out during the Lich Wars.

It could even be said that if the original source of the Sun Star had protected them, the Ten Princes of the Golden Crow and the others would not have been so easily bewitched by Daoist Zhunti, running around in the prehistoric world and ultimately triggering the final battle.

If you dare to touch the laurel tree, it's equivalent to digging up a part of the Taiyin star, which could even directly shake the power of the stars and cause turmoil in the Taiyin laws.

Therefore, it is not surprising that such a change would occur.

"Never mind, even this section of branch is not small."

Yuan Hong looked at the section of laurel branch floating in front of him with anticipation in his eyes, for it contained a portion of the laurel tree's essence.

Being able to take some things with me without attracting further pursuit from the Moon Star can actually be considered a kind of predestined fate.

When he encounters something good, he certainly won't be foolish enough to waste a huge amount of resources to plant it directly. The resources consumed are secondary; the main problem is that he can't afford to waste that much time.

"Invest in me."

[Ding dong, investing in your own laurel branch has triggered a 10,000-fold return. Congratulations, host, you have obtained a (small) laurel tree!]

"Great! It really did get right in one go!"

"Moreover, the return is even higher than I expected, it's ten thousand times! I hope it's not just a low-grade spiritual root..."

Yuan Hong was secretly delighted and quickly looked up the so-called small laurel tree to see what grade it was.

[Small Laurel Tree: A offspring of the laurel tree, a top-grade innate spiritual root root rooted in the Taiyin Star. It is a superior-grade innate spiritual root. If the parent tree dies, the offspring has a chance to replace it and advance in grade.]

"A superior-grade innate spiritual root?"

Yuan Hong took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement. This time, he had really struck gold!

Good heavens! It's just a small branch from a laurel tree, which doesn't affect the tree much, but it can be directly strengthened into a top-grade innate spiritual root!

If this little laurel were to merge with its mother plant again, its essence would likely increase significantly!

Of course, Yuan Hong would never do that, since that great spiritual root wasn't his anyway.

"A laurel tree of superior spiritual root quality is incredibly valuable, easily surpassing even my Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao tea..."

"Moreover, some laurel flowers have already bloomed. Once they are picked, they can be used to enhance the comprehension of Jingwei and the others."

"If I brew it with Da Hong Pao tea, it will probably have considerable benefits for me in the long run."

Yuan Hong looked at his new laurel and was very happy.

Moreover, this laurel tree probably has other uses, after all, as mentioned before, it is quite special in itself.

The specific uses will only become clear during the subsequent transplantation process.

In short, obtaining a top-grade innate spiritual root was somewhat beyond Yuan Hong's expectations.

This is the limit of the laurel tree's seed-body spiritual root; no matter how well it is cultivated, it will never be able to advance to the top grade.

This is exactly the same as the constraints of innate spiritual treasures; everything is subject to limitations.

As long as the source of a spiritual treasure or spiritual root is not completely damaged, the new spiritual root or spiritual treasure derived from it can never reach the level of its source; at most, it can only be one level lower!

For example, none of the many sub-spiritual roots of the Ren Water Peach Ancestral Spiritual Root can be promoted to the highest grade.

It's like a small-sized spiritual treasure cultivated from the seeds of the Golden Lotus of Merit; it's impossible for it to reach the level of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

This can also be considered one of the characteristics of innate spiritual treasures and innate spiritual roots, possessing a unique and unreplicable quality found only in the heavens.

Of course, this is even more true for innate supreme treasures and other treasures above innate spiritual treasures, which also have similar limitations.

Unless a treasure itself is completely destroyed and disappears into the river of time, its font treasure will have the opportunity to break through the shackles, and at that time its status will become a new source and mother.

Of course, that's just an opportunity; it doesn't necessarily mean you'll get promoted. It's very difficult to cultivate someone into a high-ranking official.

"I'd rather not pursue the top-grade laurel tree; the medium grade will suffice."

Yuan Hong shook his head, feeling very content and not harboring any unrealistic expectations.

Now that we know that the great laurel tree is rooted in the primordial power of the Moon Star, and that trying to harm it would only attract the Moon Star's attention, how can we possibly destroy it?

Only a saint can do this, but even if one reaches the level of a saint, it is probably not worth the effort.

This is why the laurel tree, like the moon, can endure forever.

As for the Fusang tree on the Sun Star, it must be the same.

Yuan Hong stopped thinking about it and, with a wave of his hand, transplanted the small laurel tree in front of him into his Myriad Spirits Chart.

The World of All Spirits.

Needless to say, the environment here is the highest-level spiritual sanctuary in the world.

However, unlike before, the sky in the World of All Spirits has now become a scene of dazzling stars and countless stars, as if there are Milky Ways stretching across the sky!
