C483 The Lake of Spiritual Energy
With that, the ancient tree shook. Boundless wood energy surged from all directions. It was as vast as a tide, and it instantly poured into the ancient tree's body.
A part of the ancient tree trunk suddenly split open. A jade-like green liquid condensed and slowly seeped out, condensing into a small piece of resin.
Then, an invisible force wrapped around the nail piece sized resin and flew towards Chen Yu.
When he arrived in front of Chen Yu, the resin floated in the air.
Chen Yu stared at the resins and saw that they were bright green and glistening. They were like the most wonderful treasures of heaven, extremely beautiful and captivating. And in this blob of perfect jasper resin, there was a deep and dense wood type spiritual being that Chen Yu could not fathom.
If a wood attribute martial artist were here, he would definitely go crazy over this fingernail-sized resin.
"This is my gift!" The Ancient Scholartree said: "It's enough for you to not be lacking wood attribute spiritual energy before Deity Entering Stage!"
Pausing for a moment, the Ancient Scholartree continued: "My descendant can also make up for the deficiency of this little Spirit Connecting Vine!"
"Hmm?" Chen Yu was stunned when he heard that.
"I believe you should know that the little Spirit Connecting Vine can absorb the essence and blood of dead people and transform it into the origin energy absorption ability of a warrior!" The Ancient Scholartree continued, "Although the essence energy left behind by the dead humans and Demonic Beast are strong, it carries with it death energy and the many negative emotions that they had right before their deaths. If you directly use the Spirit Connecting Vine to raise your cultivation like this, there will be endless troubles in the future. However, my descendants are not the same. It can dispel the death aura and negative emotions! "
Chen Yu was shocked when he heard it. He was surprised by the Ancient Scholartree's understanding of the Spirit Connecting Vine, but also shocked by the effect of the small sapling that was still floating in the air.
"Little friend, accept my gift. I have no ill intentions towards you!" The Ancient Scholartree said: "Otherwise, over the course of such a long period of time, I will not allow you Human Martial Cultivator to continuously take away Spiritual Soul from this place like harvesting food. Many Spiritual Soul were born and grew on my body!"
"Senior, junior has agreed!" Chen Yu said with a long sigh.
Chen Yu could not help but agree because the Ancient Scholartree said that the effect of its descendant was too attractive, so Chen Yu was unable to reject.
Furthermore, just as the Ancient Scholartree had said, Illusory Spirit Secret Realm was the fundamental and important location of the Ruling Spirit Sect, and the Ancient Scholartree had existed here for who knows how many years.
"Very good!" The Ancient Scholartree's voice carried a trace of happiness, and said: "If that's the case, then I have nothing to worry about!"
"Over the years, there should have been many practitioners of the Myriad Spirit Palace who have entered this place. Why didn't senior choose them?" Chen Yu thought of a question and asked again.
"Their blood essence is insufficient. It's not as thick as yours!" The Ancient Scholartree's divine sense turned into a voice, it carried a wisdom and insight into the hearts of humans, and said: "My own vital energy and blood aren't enough to cultivate martial arts, so how can it nourish my descendants? "Alright, little friend. Open up your mind now and don't have any thoughts of resistance. I will let my descendant enter your body!"
Chen Yu was also curious. He nodded and relaxed his mind.
Once he decided to accept the Ancient Scholartree's conditions, Chen Yu would choose to trust it, although he was still a bit nervous.
The sapling flew towards Chen Yu and started to shrink. It could be said that it was very mysterious. When it landed on Chen Yu, Chen Yu felt a pain on his skin and a foreign object entered his body.
The Star Soul in Chen Yu's body began to vibrate of its own accord. Chen Yu immediately ordered the Star Soul to withdraw.
Then, Chen Yu felt the roots extending from the surface of his skin into his body and into his internal organs and blood vessels.
When the roots pierced Chen Yu's internal organs, they brought along pain and injuries. However, at this moment, the roots released a vigorous life force that allowed Chen Yu's internal organs to heal in an instant, and the roots seemed to be connected to Chen Yu's internal organs, becoming one.
In an instant, a suction force appeared from the roots and sucked the blood essence energy out of Chen Yu's body.
Chen Yu could clearly feel the loss of his bloodline power, and it wasn't slow either.
Pulling off his clothes, Chen Yu looked down at his chest, only to see a tree sapling on his chest, bright green and glistening. However, the picture of the sapling was only left with branches and leaves without any roots. As Chen Yu's Qi and blood essence was absorbed, the tattoo became more and more green.
With a thought, Chen Yu grabbed the jade-like resin floating in front of him, put it back into the Storage Bag, and recalled the Spirit Connecting Vine back.
The Ancient Scholartree did not say anything at this moment, but Chen Yu felt like he was being watched by an invisible eye.
He waited quietly for a while, feeling that more and more blood was being lost from his body. When the Ancient Scholartree still did not react, Chen Yu knew he could not wait any longer.
The moment the blood flame got close to the roots, the roots that looked like they were connected to Chen Yu's internal organs immediately became uneasy. They quickly shrunk and retreated towards Chen Yu's skin, not daring to touch the flame at all.
"Little friend, you sure are capable!" At this time, the Ancient Scholartree suddenly spoke, its voice directly reaching Chen Yu's mind, and said: "That way I can relax!"
Are you really relieved? Chen Yu thought for a while and guessed that if he did not use the Blood Fire, the Ancient Scholartree might wait for its descendant to suck him dry.
However, Chen Yu didn't express any dissatisfaction and said, "Qi and blood are the core of junior's cultivation, and I can't let your descendant continue to absorb it. However, junior will definitely not let your descendant wilt!"
The Ancient Scholartree's huge treetop trembled, and said: "That's how it should be! "Little friend, maybe we will meet again in the future. I hope that you can find a suitable home for my descendants by then!"
After he finished speaking, the voice suddenly faded away.
At the same time, the enormous tree shook. The shadow of the towering tree suddenly became faint, and then it gradually disappeared.
The hundreds of Spiritual Soul that were hidden in the treetops also disappeared at the same time.
In a short one or two minutes, the giant locust disappeared from Chen Yu's sight, leaving a blank space as if it never existed.
Just this method alone was enough to shock Chen Yu.
"If an ancient tree could suddenly appear and disappear from the outside world, it would be shocking!"
"The matter of plants and wood turning into demons is recorded in some ancient records. I cannot fathom the strength of this Ancient Scholartree. I wonder if Ning Yushi knows of its existence! "
Chen Yu thought for a long time.
No matter what, meeting this strange and difficult to understand Ancient Scholartree was not a bad thing for Chen Yu. The resin gifted by the Ancient Scholartree was priceless, it was far superior to the highest quality wooden Spirit Crystal, and would be of great help to Chen Yu in his future cultivation. Furthermore, the picture of the chest that the sapling turned into had many benefits in Chen Yu's eyes!
After Chen Yu's mood finally calmed down, he communicated mentally with the Spirit Connecting Vine.
Through its obscure mental fluctuations, Chen Yu knew that the Ancient Scholartree had existed within the Illusory Spirit Secret Realm for a very long time. In the long period of time, the Spirit Connecting Vine had continued to grow under its protection, until it was brought out of the Illusory Spirit Secret Realm by the Myriad Spirit Palace's Spirit Harvester, placed it into the Myriad Spirit Palace, and finally put it into the Trial Secret Realm!
Since he was unable to guess the origin of the Ancient Scholartree, Chen Yu did not think anymore about it.
About three days later, Chen Yu walked into an illusory mountain. Everywhere he went, the illusory mountain of spiritual energy seemed to have opened up a tunnel.
Walking out of the interior of the mountain, Chen Yu suddenly felt the wood element in the sky become much thinner. Replacing it was an additional water element spiritual energy.
"Have you finally left the place where the wood energy is gathered?" Chen Yu looked into the distance and saw that in the distance, there was a lake that was sparkling and clear as jade.
The lake was so wide that one could not see the end of it. In the middle of the lake, there was an island shrouded in spirit energy that looked like a real illusion.
"Ning Bingyu should be here!"
Chen Yu did not know much about Illusory Spirit Secret Realm, and did not know how many areas it was divided into. On this point, Ning Yushi did not explain anything to Wu Steel, and it was unknown if he had forgotten or was just doing it intentionally.
Since he had come to the land of water spirits, Chen Yu would naturally not miss it. He wanted to build the Five Elements Spirit Vortex, and he would also have to absorb enough water energy to balance out the different types of energy in the Spirit Vortex.
Furthermore, ice fish Spiritual Soul should be able to grow in this place.
Chen Yu arrived by the lake six hours later.
Chen Yu was the first to squat down on the shore and scoop up a handful of water.
The lake water looked as clear as reality. After being lifted up, it turned into mist and dispersed. Indeed, as Chen Yu guessed, the water here wasn't real either. It was just an illusion.
However, just like the wood spirit land before, although the lake water was illusory, it was still formed from pure water spirit energy. The water spirit energy was so thick and majestic that it was beyond one's imagination!
"No wonder the Illusory Spirit Secret Realm as the prize of the Large Competition would cause countless inner court disciples to be envious and jealous!" Chen Yu muttered, "Cultivating the Water Spirit Physique here will bring endless benefits!"
With a thought, Chen Yu summoned the Ice Fish Spiritual Soul.
The Ice Fish Spiritual Soul flew out and swam in the lake, just like the Spirit Connecting Vine at the wood spirit land.
Similarly, the Ice Fish and Spiritual Soul's cheerful mood also had a feeling of returning home.
Chen Yu walked into the lake. As soon as his feet landed on the water, the surface of the lake split open. The area where his feet landed on was empty, and only the clouds made of spiritual energy could be seen.
Taking big steps, Chen Yu walked into the lake. Wherever he went, the water disappeared, as if a special channel had been opened for him.
Chen Yu quickly ran towards the center of the lake with the ice fish Spiritual Soul leading the way.
As the lake went deeper, the two sides of the lake were much higher than Chen Yu's. Chen Yu felt strange as he walked at the bottom of the lake. It was like he was in a fantasy.
Just like that, after walking for four hours, Chen Yu wasn't far from the island.
As it swam, the sea water that was transformed by the ice fish and Spiritual Soul started to become stronger. The spirit energy that was weakened by Lin Miaojin and the Three-jaw Red Dragon was now stronger than when Chen Yu first obtained it.
Right at this moment, the Ice Fish Spiritual Soul suddenly stopped and turned back. It swam around Chen Yu as if it wanted to express something.
However, the ice fish Spiritual Soul's intelligence had yet to fully awaken. When Chen Yu communicated with it, he could control it and let it understand his own meaning, but he could not understand the meaning behind his words.
The next moment, the water in front of them started to ripple. A huge green fish brought along the lake water to turn it into a mist, and charged towards Chen Yu.
The lake formed from spirit energy naturally did not have a real fish, but it did have Spiritual Soul s.
The mackerel pounced over, swinging its two meter long tail, slapping it down towards Chen Yu's head.
"What a powerful Spiritual Soul!" Chen Yu was shocked and threw out a punch.
Even with Chen Yu's strength, he could not withstand it and was sent flying backwards. However, the huge tail of the Cyan Fish burst apart and disappeared. The body and head of the fish simultaneously turned illusory and fell into the lake, causing the lake water to quickly turn into mist …
