Chapter 158 The Rapidly Growing World Tree
The ancient ruins were boundless and fraught with danger. Even with Feng Zichen's cultivation level, he dared not fly recklessly through the air. He could only carefully travel on the ground, avoiding various perilous places, and seizing opportunities to explore the surrounding area for potential gains.
Several years later, hundreds of thousands of miles away, Feng Zichen once again found a battlefield where two Grand Luo Golden Immortals were fighting.
"Another mutual destruction, that's really ruthless!" After observing for a while, Feng Zichen couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
The situation here was similar to the previous one, with two Grand Luo Golden Immortals also perishing together. However, the difference was that these two Grand Luo Golden Immortals cultivated the same Great Dao—the Dao of Nothingness.
Therefore, these two Grand Luo Golden Immortals fought far more fiercely than the previous two, their true spirits densely covered with laws, each trying to assimilate the other.
Judging from their appearance, they did not intend to return until they completely annihilated each other. However, Great Luo Golden Immortals are immortal, and their true spirits endure; it is impossible to obliterate their true spirits.
In other words, these two Great Luo Golden Immortals are completely gone.
Of course, whether they can return or not is entirely irrelevant to Feng Zichen. The most important thing now is to cultivate the World Tree.
The Sages have all emerged, and the War of the Lich Kings and Demons is not far off. If the World Tree cannot support the primordial world by then, he will be in serious trouble.
"This place is truly a treasure trove for the World Tree!" Feng Zichen remarked, taking out the World Tree and letting it absorb the remaining innate essence of this place.
This innate essence, polluted by chaotic evil energy, is something he absolutely cannot touch with his current cultivation level, let alone refine.
If he truly becomes a Great Luo Golden Immortal, perhaps he could try to refine it, but now, he can only entrust it to the World Tree.
Several years later, the innate essence of this place was completely absorbed by the World Tree, and two orbs of light, permeated with innate Daoist charm, appeared on the spot. The World Tree, still seemingly unsatisfied, shook its roots and spat out a stream of World Origin towards Feng Zichen before retreating back into the Chaos Pearl.
"Sigh! More fragments."
Stepping forward and breaking through the ball of light, Feng Zichen saw fragments of innate spiritual treasures inside. Although he had expected it, seeing them in person still brought some disappointment.
"However, it's alright. These two innate spiritual treasures have compatible attributes; perhaps I can fuse them into one. I'll study it properly when I have time later."
Putting away the two innate spiritual treasures, Feng Zichen hurried to the next location.
In the blink of an eye, a thousand years passed.
During these thousand years, Feng Zichen continued forward along a straight line, eventually finding ten more sites where Great Luo Golden Immortals had fallen.
Unfortunately, he didn't find a complete innate spiritual treasure in these ten battlefields, only a large number of fragments.
The World Tree, however, absorbed so much innate origin, undergoing an astonishing change. Its primordial energy surged, and its aura of the Great Dao became incredibly dense and terrifying.
It's far stronger than even a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
According to Feng Zichen's estimation, if the World Tree could develop complete sentience, given its current state, there's a high chance it would possess quasi-saint level cultivation upon taking human form.
Unfortunately, the World Origin, being a chaotic spiritual root, is no less powerful than a chaotic demon god, and in the primordial world, there's absolutely no possibility of it developing sentience.
It's likely that even before it takes human form, the moment it gains sentience, it will be met with the relentless attacks of the Heavenly Dao.
"The World Tree, what a pity!" Shaking his head, Feng Zichen stopped paying attention to the World Tree and instead focused his gaze on the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
With the World Tree's tremendous improvement, the Three Thousand Great Worlds, which depended on it, naturally also benefited greatly.
In those worlds, the world had stabilized, and the chaotic energy wandering in the void was gradually being absorbed.
The chaos of the laws of order was slowly subsiding, and the energy of heaven and earth was showing signs of dispersing; everything was developing in a positive direction.
Of course, the creation of worlds cannot happen overnight; even with the most profound origins, countless years of evolution are required. Now, these worlds only lack the accumulation of time.
"Let's wait a little longer. Once these Great Worlds develop their own primordial consciousness, the Heavenly Dao will not prevent me from entering them." Calculating in his mind, Feng Zichen determined the opportune moment to step into the Great Worlds.
Once a world develops its own primordial consciousness, it will have the power to protect itself, and the Heavenly Dao will withdraw its attention. As long as the Great Worlds are not destroyed, generally speaking, the Heavenly Dao will no longer pay attention to them.
This was the opportune moment for Feng Zichen to enter the Great Thousand World.
"The World Tree's advancement this time has surpassed most Grand Luo Golden Immortals in its essence, which can provide me with considerable assistance!" Thinking this, Feng Zichen's heart stirred, and he borrowed some power from the World Tree, adding it to himself.
Instantly, Feng Zichen's aura surged dramatically, soaring into the sky. Even under the suppression of the local rules, it still stirred up the winds and clouds for thousands of miles, displaying unparalleled power.
"Such strong power!" Feeling the powerful force within his body, Feng Zichen was overjoyed.
With this power, even without the luck of the human race, he could still contend with the Grand Luo Golden Immortals. If he added the power of the luck of the human race, he wouldn't be as restrained as before when facing the World Destroyer Daoists and could fight them without restraint.
"Unfortunately, the World Tree is a coward. If it had taken the initiative, how many Grand Luo Golden Immortals could have resisted it?" Containing his aura, Feng Zichen said angrily about its lack of ambition.
Even lending him a portion of its power was enough to grant him strength comparable to a Grand Luo Golden Immortal; one can only imagine how powerful the World Tree must be.
However, the World Tree was perhaps terrified by the Chaos Demon God in its early years, making it extremely timid. While it could borrow power, it was impossible for it to take the initiative to attack.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be much easier for Feng Zichen to directly control the World Tree to fight? Why bother with his own intervention?
"So much time has passed; I wonder where Xing Tian and Kua Fu are now?" Thinking of Kua Fu and the others, Feng Zichen couldn't help but feel puzzled.
On that day, the six of them, in their haste to escape the suppression of Buzhou Mountain, plunged into the ancient ruins, thus scattering and ending up in different places.
But more than a thousand years have passed since they arrived here, and until now, he hasn't found a trace of any of them, which is quite unusual.
"Hopefully I won't be too unlucky and run into the World Destroyer Daoists head-on."
The separation of the six is most disadvantageous for Feng Zichen. The three demonic cultivators are from the same sect and must have a secret method to contact each other; Xing Tian and Kua Fu wouldn't lack similar methods either.
But he can't contact any of them.
Guys, and that is it
