Chapter 67 The Power of Nature

In May, the morning sun was warm and radiant, exuding a warmth no less than that of Nanako.

Zhu Wu awoke from his octopus-like bindings and habitually shook his chest. Long Ling'er, who was fast asleep, was startled awake and rubbed her eyes as she spoke.

"Ah! It's morning?"

He was still groggy and not fully awake.

The intense combat training of the past few months has really worn her out. Uncle Di Tian has been ruthless, and she and Brother Zhu Wu have often been injured. Fortunately, Aunt Bi was there to prevent any lasting damage. However, the intense emotions she has been under are not so easy to calm down.

As a result, she slept very soundly every night and often needed her brother Zhu Wu to wake her up.

With a rustling sound, she quickly got dressed and got out of bed.

Although the training was tiring, with Brother Zhu Wu by my side, I didn't feel anything.

Before long, after breakfast, they followed Zhu Wu and transformed into birds to fly up a high mountain, where they practiced the Vajra Kung Fu under the rising sun.

Unlike the illusions of ferocious beasts, although she possesses a human form, her internal structure is more closely aligned with her true self, thus differing from a genuine human body. Her human transformation talent is almost indistinguishable from a soul beast's ability to rebuild a human form; she simply transforms into a true human body, lacking the process of rebuilding. Therefore, she can cultivate Zhu Wu's techniques, which her brother Zhu Wu has already secretly taught her.

She was also told not to tell anyone for the time being, because her brother Zhu Wu wanted to try to become a dragon god first.

She was indeed shocked when she first learned of the idea, but she chose to keep it a secret.

Compared to his master, the Silver Dragon King, whom he had never met, he was clearly closer to his brother Zhu Wu, with whom he had already become mates.

Most importantly, this originally belonged to Zhu Wu's brother, and he can give it to whomever he wants!

Furthermore, Zhu Wu also mentioned that Di Tian and Zi Ji's attributes are respectively dark and yin water, both leaning towards yin, making them unsuitable for cultivating the Vajra Technique. Practicing it might even disrupt the energy balance within their bodies. The Demon King's true form is a tree, so it's a bit hard to say. Bi Ji should be suitable, while the Crimson King and Bear Lord are the most appropriate. But for now, let's first figure out the Longevity Technique that everyone can practice.

As for Vajra Kung Fu, we'll talk about that later.

She didn't think there was any problem, and she listened to her brother Zhu Wu.

As they practiced, a black dot suddenly appeared in the distant clouds.

"Boss, Zi Ji is back." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, who was on guard, reminded him in the mental space.

Zhu Wu immediately opened his eyes and scanned the area. It was indeed Zi Ji. Apart from her scales, hair, and pupils having completely changed to a deep blue-purple, she hadn't changed much. She still had a large mole on her chest, was cold and beautiful, and had an aura that kept strangers at bay.

"Ling'er, Zi Ji is back, let's go see her." He gently woke Long Ling'er.

"Aunt Zi is back?" Long Ling'er quickly opened her eyes and immediately caught sight of Zi Ji flying towards Di Tian's residence.

Without hesitation, he immediately got up and followed Zhu Wu down the mountain.

"Zi Ji, are you about to break through the 30-year mark?" As soon as they landed, they heard Di Tian looking at Zi Ji with surprise.

"Yes, it should be within the last year or two." Zi Ji nodded. "With the help of the Water Dragon King, after absorbing those immortal herbs, I also absorbed some cold spring energy, which greatly increased my cultivation. Afterwards, I stayed there for a while to stabilize my cultivation."

"Furthermore, the Demon King has already developed that mental cultivation technique using himself as an experimental subject. However, it is only suitable for him to practice."

"His physical form is completely different from ours, so the routes are different. He has already told me all the details."

Di Tian nodded. "It does offer some lessons in the end."

"I've recently made some progress on the dragon race's cultivation path," Zhu Wu interjected. "My true form can transform into a dragon. Although I transform from a human into a dragon, my internal structure still differs from yours, but it's still worth considering. By examining and comparing Di Tian's physical body, I've discovered some commonalities. Zi Ji, now that you're back, I'd appreciate your assistance."

"Okay." Zi Ji replied succinctly.

Zhu Wu turned to look at Long Ling'er, "During your absence, Xiao Ni performed attribute guidance on me, granting me my transformation talent." He recounted the recent events, then added, "With Ling'er's help, I have also made some gains."

"Ling'er's physique is most similar to that of the Crimson King. But his three heads really stumped me."

He has to do combat training in the afternoon and practice longevity exercises in the evening, so he can only spare some time to study after he finishes practicing Vajra Kung Fu in the morning.

Time was already limited, and now we've encountered a problem, so the progress bar is stuck.

Zi Ji withdrew her gaze from Long Ling'er, who had already lowered her head in embarrassment. Her gaze then shifted to Zhu Wu, and she nodded slightly in understanding. While it appeared to have multiple heads, there were indeed numerous additional branches of meridians behind them, making it troublesome and difficult to manage.

"Take it slow." Di Tian sighed. As the Dragon God's personal guard captain, he was good at fighting, but he really didn't have much talent for research.

"Purple Princess, you can stay here for today. I'll go and call the Crimson King and the Bear Lord over so we can all get together."

"Okay." Zi Ji nodded. She also had to tell everyone what she had learned from the Water and Fire Dragon Kings.

So, Zhu Wu and Di Tian each took off in one direction to call for help, while the third sister stayed behind to chat.

Before long, everyone gathered and began their discussion.

Very good, Zi Ji has indeed learned a new skill. She'll learn them all later. Zhu Wu listened and thought at the same time. Then, as he listened, he couldn't help but think of the Tai Chi diagram from his previous life, the two poles of Yin and Yang. Perhaps it wouldn't be impossible to simulate it with his ice and fire polarities.

"If it can be achieved, I might be able to unleash the Yin-Yang Dual Domain of the original Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo all by myself."

Thinking this way, my mind started to stir.

Since returning from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, he has never stopped studying the Qi of the two extremes of ice and fire.

He discovered that the fusion of ice and fire would generate a unique energy that was inexhaustible and seemed to contain infinite vitality.

However, it's only beneficial to plants, accelerating their growth. For animals with flesh and blood, it's harmful, not only failing to give them life but also suppressing and eroding their vitality. He's already tested it on rabbits; in appropriate amounts, it can suppress toxins and inhibit pathogens. But in excessive amounts, their vitality is gradually eroded until they die, afterwards developing green spots all over their bodies.

At this point, simply inserting a seed will cause it to take root and sprout on the spot, which is somewhat eerie and terrifying.

Then, from Di Tian's words, it was learned that this was a fundamental energy that constitutes nature, a type of life energy, also known as the power of nature. It could only be absorbed by plants and transformed into known life-attribute energy, thus accelerating plant growth. After that came the cycle of sheep eating grass, wolves eating sheep, and the wolf's carcass being decomposed and absorbed by nature after it died, forming a perfect ecological closed loop in nature.

What the hell? To be honest, he was completely dumbfounded when he first heard this explanation.

But considering that this is a fantasy world, one can only reluctantly tear apart one's own values ​​to accept this information.

"Whatever!" he sighed inwardly, no longer dwelling on it.

"If it works, that's good. I'll experiment with it properly later." With that thought, he continued to listen attentively to the lecture.
