Huo Jun’s palm was flickering with deep green light points, attached to the dry tree trunk. The deep brown withered spots seeped with green light points, causing pieces of the bark to fall off.
"Rustle!"
"Whoosh~"
Accompanied by the crispy sounds of drying old bark falling off, revealing the dry cracks on the trunk, some Spirit Stones and broken wood chips rolled out.
Huo Jun was stunned, "Eh? How... are Spirit Stones hidden inside the tree?"
This scene was marvelously akin to Yan Xuan clearing ice blocks and obtaining Spirit Stones condensed from the rich Spiritual Energy within the cracks.
Jiang Yuan explained with a smile, "It is precisely due to the severe blockage that the life energy and Spiritual Energy, which should have been continuously released to the Wilderness World, are all stuck in the Tree of Life. As you delve deeper, the additional gains will cover the needs of your daily cultivation here."
"I can’t use so many Spirit Stones, just one-third will do, the remaining should be handed to the master!" Huo Jun suddenly realized that aside from cultivating and awakening the Tree of Life, the obtained Spirit Stones could also be submitted.
Even though I joined the courtyard relatively late, the contributions I make are undeniable!
The Spirit Stones gained for free, aside from daily needs, all should be given to the master. Later, my credibility in the courtyard will naturally strengthen.
Jiang Yuan didn’t expect to earn much Spirit Stone through him anyway, being a demon cultivator, Huo Jun compared to Yan Xuan is frankly too weak.
Yan Xuan, with the body of a Demon Beast, born powerful and cultivated the realm to the highest in the mortal world, the Ten Thousand Years Profound Ice barely damages; instead, it polishes its body even more robustly.
Moreover, it can manifest its true form to consume countless Ten Thousand Years Profound Ice, returning to the courtyard to refine slowly, not only does it not need extra Spirit Stones, but it can become the "Spiritual Energy Humidifier" of the courtyard.
As for Huo Jun, a demon cultivator compared to a demon beast is already at a huge disadvantage physically, especially before refining Cyan Dragon Divine Power, his realm was mediocre.
Now, in this Secret Realm, he has to guard the withered Tree of Life, cannot leave, resist death energy to cultivate his body, catalyze the shedding of dry bark to restore vitality, everywhere needs a substantial amount of Spiritual Power.
This place lacks Spiritual Energy severely, the production from the Tree of Life seems much worse than Ten Thousand Years Profound Ice Cave, him being self-sufficient without handouts is quite satisfying to Jiang Yuan.
Hence, casually responding, "Due to the harsh environment in this Secret Realm, the Spirit Stones should firstly be used by yourself for refining, then consider contributing any surplus."
"Rest assured, Master, I will not let you down!" Huo Jun was overjoyed, collected that small pile of Spirit Stones and thought to finish the cultivation at the fastest Speed to ascend as a Divine Beast!
Thinking of the bright future, the hardships didn’t feel as such. Isn’t it just surrounded by indefatigable death energy? As the future Cyan Dragon, could I be afraid of such difficulties?
Injecting life into the withered Tree of Life, while the bark, trunk peeled away, Spirit Stones poured out like rain, more thrilling than instant game rewards – what it gave were shiny Spirit Stones, sturdy and sonorous, providing endless Spiritual Power.
Is there anything better in the world?
Both cultivating and obtaining many Spirit Stones, after everything ends, can ascend as a Divine Beast, gaining manifold benefits!
The more Huo Jun thought, the happier he felt, once Jiang Yuan transmitted him back to the courtyard, he couldn’t hold back a giggle. He then thought of He Miancun, who had left due to a misunderstanding, planning for when he ascends as the Divine Beast Cyan Dragon, she would certainly reconsider, and then a divine romantic tale would unfold!
Thinking of this, he was full of vigor but dissatisfied with his palms being too small in coverage.
Being stationed here implies enduring the cleansing of death energy, why not use the maximum contact area to inject life into the Tree of Life.
"Hiss~"
With a thought, his original form manifested, a huge cyan snake with two small bumps faintly visible on its head, flicking its tongue, wrapping around the base of the Tree of Life.
However, this tree was absurdly large, he exhausted his efforts to transform into the largest form yet couldn’t encompass it, only cling to the dry bark, channeling Spiritual Power.
The point of contact between the giant snake and the bark began to exude green light spots.
Seen from afar, it was a tiny part compared to the immense, withered Tree of Life, but this green light was radiant, becoming the most noteworthy speck of hope in the dreary space.
Revealing his true form was evidently more aligned with honing the physical aspect.
Huo Jun almost instantly felt the pervasive death energy piercing through his scales, it hurt but was bearable.
The crucial realization was during the confrontation, he found his scales becoming more resilient, even the cyan gleam post refining Cyan Dragon Divine Power started to settle, gradually turning dense.
"So this truly is cultivation, through death energy catalyzing life, I can become more powerful and successfully become a dragon!" His comprehension was superb, immediately understanding the essence, gritting his teeth, allowing his body to grow stronger silently amidst the enveloping death energy.
Once breaking free, he could transform into a dragon and ascend!
Successfully dispatched another one, Jiang Yuan returned to the courtyard pondering, it’s almost time to respond to Leisure Sect Banner Master’s message, continuing infiltration.
With only 41 Leisure Sect Evil Cultivators left to claim rewards, earning 5 more Building Upgrade Cards will push the main line task forward;
