Primordial Era: I, the Thirteenth Witch, had my innermost thoughts overheard by my older siblings.

"Okay, I understand."

Hearing Di Jiang and the others give such instructions, Ye Kai felt a warmth in his heart and immediately nodded in agreement.

With such brothers and sisters, what more could a husband ask for?

Without further hesitation, Ye Kai headed towards the rear hall.

Ye Kai did not immediately enter a state of seclusion.

After arriving at the back hall, he took out the hibiscus branch.

This hibiscus branch was the one he won in a bet with Taiyi.

"Although the fiery energy here isn't as intense as on the Sun Star, this blood pool is a treasure of my Witch Clan. It's entirely possible for it to nurture a small Fusang tree!"

With that thought, Ye Kai waved his hand and planted the Fusang tree in the original location of the innate gourd vine.

As the Fusang tree came into contact with the blood in the blood pool, streams of blood energy surged out of the blood pool and then poured into the Fusang tree.

The hibiscus tree immediately took root and sprouted, turning into a small sapling.

"It's done!"

Upon seeing this, Ye Kai was overjoyed, a glint of light in his eyes. Since the Fusang tree could take root and sprout, it meant that his idea could be realized.

and,

Just as Ye Kai had predicted, this small hibiscus tree, nourished by the blood pool, had lost much of its fiery nature and gained a touch of blood energy.

Even the branches gradually turned from jet black to have a touch of scarlet red, as if veins were crawling all over its body!

"With this kind of nurturing, the hibiscus tree will definitely undergo fundamental changes, and it may even be possible to cultivate a different species of hibiscus tree."

"I just wonder, how does my hybrid hibiscus compare to the original hibiscus?"

Thinking of this, Ye Kai couldn't help but feel even more excited.

After all, in his memory, the Fusang tree on the Sun Star, although it was one of the ten innate spiritual roots of the primordial world, was basically useless.

That is, after the Ten Golden Crows were born, it served as their nest and was used to assist them in their cultivation.

"Aid cultivation? Perhaps this Fusang wood... really can be used to aid cultivation!"

Thinking of this, Ye Kai couldn't help but feel a slight stirring in his heart.

It should be noted that although he does not possess the essence of the sun's fire, he does possess the laws of fire. If he were to use the Fusang wood to assist him, it might enhance his fire laws.

However...

"Well, the hibiscus tree is still too young; it needs to grow up first."

Ye Kai looked at the hibiscus tree, which was only three or four feet tall, and couldn't help but twitch his lips. He was thinking too far ahead.

"Now that I've planted the Fusang tree, I'll begin my secluded cultivation to obtain the system rewards."

With that thought in mind, Ye Kai no longer hesitated and immediately took off his clothes and entered the blood pool.

He then sat cross-legged in the blood pool, formed hand seals, and began his cultivation.

Although he did not receive the Path of Quasi-Saints during his visit to Zixiao Palace, he still absorbed the essence of Hongjun's teachings.

He is now in seclusion to cultivate and digest the essence of these Taoist techniques.

At the same time, he had only recently broken through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and now he needed to consolidate his cultivation and even take it a step further!

There is also the method of the Witch Clan to temper their physical bodies, and Ye Kai also needs to use the blood pool to temper the body of the Ancestral Witch.

So even though he didn't receive much Taoist magic this time, he still has a lot to do.

It is precisely because of this that, under such seclusion and cultivation, both his Daoist cultivation and his Ancestral Witch body are becoming stronger at a visible speed.

Meanwhile, both the Fusang tree and the system rewards are changing rapidly.

"Congratulations, host, on successfully completing one day of seclusion. Special reward: Sharp hearing and eyesight!"

"Congratulations, host, on successfully completing 100 days of seclusion. Special reward: 100 strands of merit!"

"Congratulations, host, on successfully completing your one-year seclusion. Special reward: Ten Thousand Paths of Magic Power!"

"..."

In the end, Ye Kai didn't know how long he had been in seclusion, but he felt his own magical power gradually becoming more abundant, and in the darkness, he was getting closer and closer to that faint shackle.

Until this moment!

"Break it!"

Ye Kai's expression suddenly hardened, and he immediately shouted, unleashing a powerful aura from his body.

"boom--"

As this aura erupted, ripples spread across the surrounding blood pool.

Even the hibiscus tree was captivated by it!

"Breakthrough! Late stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal!"

Ye Kai opened his eyes, his gaze filled with surprise.

He finally broke through to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!

Nearly ten thousand years have passed since his rebirth. Leaving aside the strength of his physical body, his primordial spirit cultivation alone has already broken through to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

This realm means that he can stand tall in the primordial world with just his primordial spirit cultivation!

and,

And it was at this moment!

"This is... a hibiscus tree?!"

As Ye Kai raised his eyes, his gaze naturally fell on the hibiscus tree beside him.

At this time, the Fusang tree, after thousands of years of nurturing, has grown into a towering tree. Although it is still completely black, it is covered with scarlet veins, like blood vessels.

More importantly, the leaves of this hibiscus tree seem to be connected by blood.

"Is it because it was nurtured in the blood pool, thus connecting it to the bloodline of our witch clan?"

Ye Kai thought to himself.

Afterwards, he carefully calculated that he had been in seclusion for nearly two thousand years. Although he did not gain a second understanding of the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, he did gain several supernatural powers such as the Law of Heaven and Earth.

Ok,

The rewards are mostly based on magical power or merit.

Leaving aside the issue of magical power, since he absorbed all the magical power he acquired into his own body.

In terms of merit alone, his current merit is enough to condense into a ten-thousand-foot-long golden dragon of merit.

In later generations, this would require doing something so significant that it would change the entire human race!

"With this method of attainment, perhaps I can attain sainthood through these merits alone."

Thinking this, Ye Kai couldn't help but reveal a playful smile.

The path to sainthood that everyone in the primordial world desperately pursued was incredibly simple for him.

"As for this Fusang tree, I will cultivate under it from now on. I not only have Sixth Brother's Fire Law now, but I also obtained the Samadhi True Fire Divine Power during my seclusion, which I can study and comprehend."

Having said that, Ye Kai immediately moved and arrived in front of the Fusang tree.

He sat cross-legged under the hibiscus tree, his hands forming a hand seal, and a ball of blazing flame emerged from his palms.

This flame is the fire law of Zhu Rong, and can also be called the fire of Zhu Rong!

At the same time, a ball of flame appeared on each of Ye Kai's shoulders and on the top of his head.

Although these three flames were weaker than the fire of Zhu Rong, they were closely related to Ye Kaiyuan's spirit and were the Samadhi True Fire he had just obtained.

At this moment, Ye Kai, wielding the fire of Zhurong and carrying the Samadhi True Fire, shone brightly under the light of the Fusang tree!

During this period of seclusion, Ye Kai not only gained a deeper understanding of the Dao of Fire, but also gradually solidified the foundation of his Daoist practices.

and,

As a thousand years passed, his reward for seclusion arrived!

"Congratulations, host, on successfully completing a thousand-year seclusion. Special reward: Solar Essence Fire Source!"

"What? The essence of the sun? Or the origin?"

Upon hearing this prompt, Ye Kai was jolted awake and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
