Chapter 655: Chapter 641 Exploration_3
But the next moment, Fairy Yunxi shook her head, "The Mother Qi of All Woods is the origin of the Wooden Element... only the truly top-tier wood techniques can absorb and refine it. The standards ancient divine cultivators used to judge whether a technique was top-tier are quite different from today’s. This person’s Spirit Body is somewhat abnormal, likely the result of a postnatal Blood Sacrifice. The technique he has cultivated, though currently considered top-tier, is actually..."
The Bai family’s patriarch’s face changed color.
In the scene, Gu Tengzi was also prepared to acknowledge the impossibility and retreat.
But suddenly, he saw a lush green lake in the forest and, at the center of the lake, a seven-colored lotus flower blooming, with a rainbow emerging from above. Unable to contain the joy on his face, he moved closer to the lush green lake.
His hands formed a spell, the lines on his face becoming more profound. The green-skinned gourd was already full of the Mother Qi of All Woods. At this point, Gu Tengzi had no choice but to grit his teeth and absorb some of it.
This person dared to do so, naturally relying on his profound cultivation and having a Spirit Body; in the cultivation technique he practiced, there happened to be a secret skill specifically for the Mother Qi of All Woods!
He rapidly devoured the surrounding green mist and reached inside the lake, stretching out his hand.
In the next instant, the smile on Gu Tengzi’s face froze, his body became stiff, and he transformed into a wooden statue of peculiar design.
Roots sprouted from his legs, extending deep into the waters... Streams of extremely dark green aura rapidly emanated from him, his entire body slowly turning into the Mother Qi of All Woods!
As he lay dying, a speck of starlight flew out from his body, bearing the mark of the ’Secret Star Talisman.’
In front of Fang Xi, a sand table was set up.
Most of the sand table was shrouded in mist, but now a speck of starlight flew out, dispelling a small portion of the fog...
"What... What’s going on?"
The Bai family patriarch was shocked and discolored. How had he inexplicably become the first to be eliminated?
"I have already said that this person’s technique might not be considered truly top-tier. Now it seems, it’s not only that his technique is not top-tier but also possibly has much to do with the Green Emperor Mountain, perhaps specially gifted for the use by medicinal slaves and other menial laborers..."
Fairy Yunxi commented dispassionately, "This is the first time I’ve seen a technique that cultivates oneself into the Mother Qi of All Woods in the end..."
"Could it be that within the lake lies the ’Seven-Colored Holy Heart Lotus’? This Spirit Medicine blooms once every thousand years, a petal at a time. This specimen must be at least eight thousand years old; it can bring back the dead, mend flesh and bone, and cure hundreds of poisons and curses... Gu Tengzi’s anxiousness over it suggests that in the Cultivation World, he has someone dear to him in urgent need of this item to save their life..."
Lord Ghost Axe spoke fairly.
"Hehe, in the end, it is a lack of fortune, a futile effort, all dressed up for someone else’s wedding..."
Demon Lord Chi Lian chuckled coldly. His thoughts wandered to something that cast a shadow of sorrow over him, causing him to lose some interest in the wager. He carelessly pointed at a Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator with hair as red as fire.
...
Within the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm.
A red-haired Demon Cultivator devoid of expression suddenly spat out a fierce flame.
This Demon Fire was immensely powerful. The surrounding Void trembled faintly, turning several Wooden Charms that appeared in front of him to ashes.
Upon seeing this scene, his face showed not the slightest hint of joy; instead, it bore an extremely grave expression, "Wood Charms that have existed for ten thousand years... There are rather many."
In the next moment, the Demon Cultivator formed a spell with his hands and a flame Puppet appeared, walking forward in his stead.
Boom!
Before long, a thunderous noise resounded!
Within the mist not far ahead, one could vaguely see a colossal Wood Armor Person, dozens of feet tall.
Its body was covered in all sorts of barbs, the skin resembling tree bark with dragon-scale-like patterns.
As it walked, the ground began to tremble.
Snap!
With a casual wave of its hand, a large number of dark green talismans flickered in midair, and the ’Red-haired Demon Cultivator’ was turned into a pile of muck.
Thump, thump!
As the Wood Armor Person walked away, a figure emerged from the ground, looking in the direction it departed, filled with both fear and relief, "A Wood Charm of a hundred thousand years, comparable to a late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator..."
...
In a Cold Pond, countless red ants densely packed, gnawing on several verdant Carbide Wood Beasts.
A Nascent Soul Cultivator, with a stature like that of a young child, was manipulating several red Spirit Beast Bags, continuously spewing out ants.
"I didn’t expect... to find Carbide Wood Beasts within this Spirit Realm, a truly fortunate fate for this old man. If the Secret Skill I’m cultivating had those few materials, it would be quite possible for me to advance to the later stages of Nascent Soul..."
From the mouth of the child, an old and weary voice emerged.
He had entered the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm, naturally also for his own fortune.
As for the task set by Dragon Fish Island’s Lord Master? That was entirely up to fate...
What the child did not notice, was that at his feet, a green sprout suddenly split with a black line.
The black line opened, revealing an eye, whirling around wildly.
Suddenly, numerous green and ethereal vines appeared, like a cage, savagely strangling towards the inside!
Upon seeing this, the child’s expression changed, and a crimson bead appeared in his hand, with flames surging within, exploding mid-air.
Whoosh!
A ball of fire rose, with innumerable talismans flickering within it.
But when it encountered the ethereal vines, they extinguished immediately with a flash of green light...
Seeing this, the child’s expression truly turned to one of horror, and he was about to trigger a silver talisman in his hand.
But from the surrounding void, an inexplicable pressure emerged, rendering the Life-saving Talisman he had hardly obtained completely useless.
Splat, splat!
In the next moment, countless vines entangled, forming a green vine ball.
