Chapter 294: Ageless Wood Spirit Root
Chapter 294: Ageless Wood Spirit Root
【In the 306th year, as expected of a sentient Heavenly Material and Treasure, it was much easier to communicate with you than with the previous stone. This Ageless Wood, which had devoured countless creatures, was already extremely bloody, yet it still feared you deeply and quickly gave up its resistance.】
Shen Yi sat cross-legged, letting his Golden Body guard this place.
He didn't know if the Ageless Wood could be considered a Spirit Root.
But he decided to refine it first.
Within his Dantian, the Heaven Devouring Demonic Child greedily embraced the Ageless Wood, and the scorching aura emanating from its body caused the wood to sizzle and cry out in distress.
How annoying...
Shen Yi furrowed his brows and controlled the Dao Infant to slap the Ageless Wood.
The entire process was slightly more difficult than the last time.
After all, when refining the True Yang Qilin Stone, both the Dao Infant and the Spirit Root were bloody, but now, in addition to the bloody aura, there was some conflict between the Qilin Stone and the Ageless Wood.
However, Shen Yi always believed that as long as the Demon Lifespan was sufficient, he would definitely find a solution.
This was a threshold that must be overcome.
Otherwise, where would he find so many fire-attributed Spirit Roots with bloody auras?
【In the 1700th year, you calmly refined the Ageless Wood. After all, it wasn't you who suffered, and your emotions remained stable.】
"..."
Shen Yi continued to listen to the Ageless Wood's harrowing screams.
He couldn't help but admire its tenacity, as it had managed to endure for so many years without losing its voice.
Another two thousand years of Demon Lifespan were consumed.
Finally, the screams of agony disappeared.
Within the Dao Infant, a section of a spiritual branch with black mist flowing through it lay quietly inside.
At the same time, Shen Yi also felt a sudden change.
It was as if an extra hint of vitality had emerged within his body.
It made him feel refreshed and invigorated.
Compared to the pain of refining the True Yang Qilin Stone, this time it felt more like an enjoyable experience.
It was like being bathed in a gentle spring breeze, feeling comfortable all over.
【In the 3900th year, you successfully refined the polluted Ageless Wood into an extremely special Spirit Root. By granting it the Liver Position, you obtained the Ageless Wood Longevity Talent.】
【Divine Transformation: Ageless Wood Longevity - Under the nurturing of the Ageless Wood, your lifespan has been extended by three thousand years.】
【Remaining Lifespan: 5,975 years】
Looking at this string of numbers, Shen Yi was stunned for a moment before realizing that this was not the Demon Lifespan but his own.
He then fell silent.
Refining a Spirit Root actually had a reverse nurturing effect.
He closed his eyes and carefully sensed it. With the Ageless Wood as the Dao Infant's liver, connected to the True Yang Qilin Stone, it was like wood giving birth to fire, an endless cycle.
It was as if every blade of grass and tree in the entire mountain range was resonating with him.
According to the panel's prompt, this Ageless Wood was not a Supreme Spiritual Root but had been given a special name.
Shen Yi wasn't disappointed.
He just sighed.
Even with his unique and advantageous conditions, using a Spirit Root with a bloody aura that others couldn't use, he still couldn't find a true Supreme one.
It would be even more challenging for other cultivators.
At this moment, a reminder from Qing Hua echoed in his mind.
"Reporting to my master, is it time to leave? Qing Hua rushed here earlier, attracting the attention of many cultivators. Moreover, the sect's defense array has been activated, and the people from Radiant Light Cave should be arriving soon."
"Bring them both to the Bamboo Tower."
Shen Yi quickly got up and flew towards the previous Bamboo Tower.
Soon, A Qing and Xu Wanwen were each grabbed by the Golden Body Dharmic Form and brought over.
Following Shen Yi's gaze, A Qing quickly calmed his restless mind and reactivated the previous array.
Shen Yi returned to the cramped room and casually took the Mystic Sword and Jade Slip.
These items weren't of much use to him.
After all, the cultivation technique was already recorded on the panel.
But he couldn't leave them behind for Radiant Light Cave; he had offended them, and whether he took these items or not, they would pursue him relentlessly.
By taking them, at least he could make them anxious and hesitant to make a move.
Soon, several figures swiftly left the Zheng Family, disappearing silently into the sky.
...
Amidst the mountains, Shen Yi quickly descended by the spring, and the Golden Body Dharmic Form threw the two of them down before disappearing into the sky.
After fully understanding the identities of the aunt and niece, there was no need to hide the matter of the Divine Transformation Body from them, especially since it was difficult to keep it a secret.
However, the fact that the Golden Body was something he had cultivated on his own must not be revealed easily.
After all, the biggest disadvantage of the Golden Body Dharmic Form was that it couldn't conceal his aura.
And here, his true self appeared, effectively neutralizing this disadvantage.
A Transcendent Deity expert who appeared silently would obviously be of greater use.
This valuable information must not be easily given away.
"Again... he's gone?"
A Qing stared blankly at the horizon.
Xu Wanwen blinked rapidly, snapping her niece out of her daze, who quickly took out the array disk and deactivated the Hundred Demons Calming Array.
"Heh..."
Xu Wanwen sat up from the ground, covering her ample chest, and panted heavily.
Then, with a terrified look, she turned to Shen Yi, hesitating whether to speak or not.
Just now, she suddenly sensed a sinister plot from the Zheng family—a seed enveloped in black mist.
She was able to sense this object primarily because Shen Yi had approached.
That tightly bound connection of aura had actually fallen onto him!
"Fellow Daoist Shen, you are an upright gentleman... you wouldn't want to take advantage of that object to control me..."
A Supreme Primordial Grandmaster had inexplicably become a prisoner.
Recalling her sudden loss of consciousness earlier, Xu Wanwen felt afraid for the first time.
"..."
Shen Yi glanced at her: "You've got quite an imagination."
He casually waved his hand in front of her, and a wisp of green light floated out from between her eyebrows, then dissipated in the air.
Then, he performed the same gesture towards A Qing.
These two were indeed lucky.
All the members of the Zheng family had been consumed by the Ageless Tree, appearing to still have consciousness, but in reality, they had already become puppets.
The moment the Ageless Tree was refined, it also signified their complete annihilation.
Only this aunt and niece were intentionally spared by him.
This ridiculous so-called Celestial Path was not worthy of the name.
The best outcome was that after the Ageless Tree fully matured, it would transform into a fruit on its branches.
As for controlling these two women using the power of the Ageless Tree...
These rebellious aunt and niece, who had run away from home, didn't even have personal freedom, let alone any value. It would be more fitting to exchange them for the head of the Xu family.
After seeing so many arrays, Shen Yi suddenly had an idea.
He couldn't guard Da Qian for his entire life.
Moreover, with such a vast territory, it was a daunting task to guard it all.
If he could convince the Xu family to come out of seclusion and help Da Qian's Nine Provinces by setting up enough magic arrays, it would greatly relieve the pressure.
"Er..."
Xu Wanwen stood up awkwardly, never expecting the youth to so easily break free from her control.
Not to mention, she was a powerful Grandmaster.
But in an instant, she realized: "Fellow Daoist, you really managed to control the Ageless Tree?"
Shen Yi withdrew his gaze, not revealing that he had already refined the Ageless Tree.
"The corrupted Ageless Tree is useless to others. If Fellow Daoist can refine it into a Spirit Root, it would be a heavenly opportunity."
Xu Wanwen remembered the vast demonic aura the youth had unleashed earlier.
She wondered why someone would use demonic power to forge a Dao Infant... without fearing the influence of the demonic aura on their soul.
Only such an eccentric person could enjoy such a unique "treasure."
"Even if it's not as good as a Supreme Spiritual Root, it's still extraordinary. With this section of the Ageless Tree, Fellow Daoist's cultivation path will definitely not stop at the early stages of Transcendent Deity..."
Shen Yi initially didn't want to pay attention to the woman's rambling to ease her embarrassment.
But upon hearing this, he curiously glanced back: "Stop at?"
"Ah..."
A Qing stood up: "Like my aunt, with three middle-grade Spirit Roots and two high-grade Spirit Roots forming the five organs of her Dao Infant, even if she breaks through to Transcendent Deity, it would only be the middle stage, and her path would come to an end."
"Elder Brother Shen, you know Transcendent Deity Golden Body experts, and you should be aware that even a top-tier sect like Da Qian, which primarily cultivates Yin Spirits, can only achieve a three-Zhan Golden Body Dharmic Form, equivalent to the early stages of Transcendent Deity..."
She spread her hands: "To reach higher realms, one must be like Senior Nie, for whom Wutong Mountain initially searched for three Supreme Thunder Spirit Roots, which led to the Mystic Sword Immortal he is today."
