Chapter 328: World Tree
“Mom?”
|| Yes, it’s me child || the voice responded in its usual relaxing tone.
Xiang Yu felt himself being strangely captured by the voice. Every time it spoke, he felt it was how things should be. A sense of relief and content washed over him.
Wait. Something wasn’t right.
Oh no, he was losing himself. He needed to escape this place immediately.
Suddenly, his eyes opened. He was back in the spirit vein, looking through the perspective of the spirit vein.
“That was dangerous,” Xiang Yu thought. After merging with the spirit vein, he had encountered the World Tree. He didn’t even know how he recognized it was the World Tree, he supposed it was something he knew instinctually after the merger.
Apparently, all spirit veins were merely branches of the World Tree and must serve it without question. That explained why he felt himself slipping away, he was being brainwashed by the World Tree. Fortunately, he managed to resist using the flame and also because he’d just used a soul partition. His other consciousness could error-correct his state of mind, erasing the brainwashing effects. Even so, it had been a close call.
He sighed deeply, wondering if he had just dug himself into even more trouble. He always seemed to stumble into even deeper troubles every time he tried to avoid trouble in the first place. It was the same situation with the void flame all over again.
Was he actually cursed?
He shook his head. Well, he was already this deep so nothing he could do about it now.
Xiang Yu focused on his current tree body. It definitely felt different, though he instinctively understood how it worked. He concentrated and exerted his energy. Instantly, all the branches filling the cave began receding. As they pulled back, he realized he couldn’t condense them too much, so he released them through the ground, pushing his roots even deeper into the earth.
As his roots extended, he felt various crystal formations underground. He wrapped around them with his roots to ensure maximum energy utilization. This way, they would mature much quicker.
While doing this, Xiang Yu reflected that the twenty spirit veins had been really great, but that was their limit. Even with the remaining high-grade ones, he doubted he could reach the immortal stage. The gap was growing wider and wider the higher he climbed.
The main Xiang Yu retrieved the three high-grade spirit veins and the spirit vein clone quickly consumed them. Xiang Yu felt he was about a quarter of the way there. To progress further, he would need to consume about ten more of those high-grade spirit veins.
“Hmm, should I raid the central continent?” he wondered before shaking his head. It seemed that after becoming the spirit vein, he was even hungrier for upgrades.
Xiang Yu assessed the qi surrounding the spirit vein and was genuinely impressed. A heavenly-grade spirit vein was truly remarkable, the qi concentration was several times higher than the first grade. He wondered just how much more impressive an immortal-grade would be. As he pondered this, his smile faded when he remembered his root was still weak, preventing him from taking full advantage of all this.
But before he got even more depressed, a brilliant idea struck him.
The spirit vein clone Xiang Yu raised one of its branches. The branch glowed with a soft blue light, and slowly, qi began condensing around it. The concentration grew higher and higher until finally, a crystal formed.
The main Xiang Yu caught it in his hand. “Spirit crystals,” he said with a smile. The qi of the spirit vein was practically endless. If he could use it to create a spirit crystal farm, wouldn’t that make him incredibly rich?
He paused for a moment, technically, all this qi originated from the World Tree. Using it for a spirit crystal farm seemed somewhat disrespectful.
After brief consideration, he decided: screw it. He was already this deep, might as well dive right in. What was a little more trouble at this point?
