Chapter 478: Situ Feng's Legacy and Wish!
Chapter 478: Situ Feng's Legacy and Wish!
This is a verdant world, a realm of lush greenery.
Green beneath his feet, and green above in the sky.
If not for the subtle variations in color, Su Ping might not have been able to distinguish between the earth and the so-called sky.
Just a sea of green.
In this world, it's as if all the vitality of the world has merged into one.
With just a slight breath, Su Ping could feel the life force of the Wood lineage flooding into his chest, refreshing his mind and body.
He lifted his head and gazed into the distance.
That colossal World Tree seemed to be right before his eyes, yet it blocked out the sun and sky.
It seemed that with just a step, he could approach this legendary entity.
No wonder when Grandpa and Liu Niang entered with Leng Ye, they recognized this legendary World Tree and couldn't help but move towards it.
Eventually, they encountered danger.
From this perspective, the World Tree was indeed very close to Su Ping.
However, now that he knew this was just a carrot dangling in front of a donkey, Su Ping quickly shook his head.
Suppressing the greed in his heart, he didn't rush to explore the World Tree but instead fell into deep thought.
Even now, in his spiritual consciousness, he still retained the imprint that the Souls of the Five Saints had passed on.
If he remembered correctly, within the imprint that Situ Feng opened through the Souls of the Five Saints, the World Tree in this space was extremely small, even to the point of being incomplete!
In the image, it was far from the grandeur it has now!
But at this very moment, the World Tree before his eyes, not to mention being inside this miniature world, even from the outside, exuded an awe-inspiring aura.
It was identical to the true World Tree in the image that the Spring Demon Bichuan had conveyed, without the slightest difference.
That's why Su Ping was so shocked when he first saw it from the outside.
Nearly two thousand years have passed since then, and this World Tree has grown from its initial state of being small and incomplete, as entrusted by King Nan Zhao, Situ Feng, into the colossal and majestic entity it is now?
Does a resource like this require nearly two thousand years to grow and nurture?
Su Ping then turned his gaze towards Xiao Qing and the Spring Demon Bichuan that had finally emerged from her body:
"Senior, that should be the tree you were looking for, right?"
The Spring Demon Bichuan's body was like a flame burning in mid-air, and after her verdant figure took shape, she showed no excitement. Instead, she seemed to be looking up at the Divine Tree not far away, and after a while, she seemed to lower her head and look down at her feet.
It was as if she hadn't heard Su Ping's question at all.
Su Ping could understand this feeling.
This Spring Demon Bichuan was too mysterious.
Aside from the World Tree and the elixir of immortality that they had agreed upon, she showed little interest in anything else. Every day, she would either be in the Spring Heart she had created or in the Forest Heart.
The only time she showed a slight ripple of emotion was when she was cultivating the Little Crow and the Little Fire Seed.
Now, even Su Ping hadn't expected that he would actually lead this person to see one of the two legendary resources, and they were so close!
But seeing her demeanor, it seemed she needed to take a break and perhaps reminisce for a while. Su Ping wasn't in a hurry either, and finally, he carefully searched with his gaze, looking around.
The World Tree had nothing to do with him.
Now, he had brought the Spring Demon Bichuan here, to the front of the World Tree, and his task was complete.
It was time to collect his reward.
No wonder in the fragments of Situ Feng's legacy, there was no mention of the location of the inheritance within the miniature world.
Upon entering this miniature world, aside from being captivated by the massive World Tree, Su Ping immediately spotted the inheritance of the Five Toxins Sage with just a glance!
There was no choice; it was too eye-catching.
It was a small cauldron,
about the size of a fist, but it sat calmly on a leaf extending from the miniature world, just twenty meters away from the entrance.
This verdant leaf was striking even in this world filled with crisp greenery.
It was like a glowing piece of jade.
And on the small bronze cauldron, an image was engraved that was most familiar to Su Ping.
It was none other than the Five Saints: the snake, spider, toad, centipede, and scorpion.
The Five Toxins.
Along with the serpent script of the Five Toxins.
Obviously, the only thing that could appear here is something belonging to Situ Feng!
Speaking of which, in this inheritance scene, Su Ping remembers that in addition to some sheepskin scrolls, Situ Feng also stored some precious resources.
When he first saw them, he might not have been able to identify some of the resources accurately.
However, after Xiao Qing's search for evolutionary development materials and Old Rong's secret gift of the Rong family's toxin inheritance, Su Ping was confident that even without the Ten Thousand Spirit Ledger, an ordinary advanced toxin breeder would not be able to surpass him in toxin cultivation.
Therefore, Su Ping also knew what resources were in the scene.
If his identification was correct, there were three types of Holy Spirit-level resources! Even without some of the cultivation techniques secretly passed down by the Five Toxins Sage, these three Holy Spirit-level resources alone would make the trip worthwhile.
However, despite his excitement, Su Ping remained calm. He glanced at Xiao Qing, who immediately understood.
A projection of his body appeared, walked forward, and with a light leap, picked up the small cauldron with his mouth.
Xiao Qing didn't even ask the projection to return but instead kept it in place, waiting for a full three minutes without any changes. Only then did Su Ping finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It seemed that he had misjudged the situation.
The inheritance left by Situ Feng was indeed genuine, without any other tricks.
Although this miniature world seemed to have undergone some changes, it didn't appear as dangerous as Liu Niang had described, at least not yet.
With this in mind, Su Ping reached out and touched the small cauldron.
Then, his mental power seeped into the cauldron.
As expected, just like the Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal, within the cauldron was a virtual space, a spatial storage vessel.
However, in ancient times, such an item was extremely precious.
Unlike the modern era, where spatial breeders have deciphered the secrets of spatial storage, spatial rings still have some value, but they are not as rare.
Of course, Su Ping's attention was not on the spatial cauldron but on the items within it!
As expected.
Even after nearly two thousand years, the items in the spatial cauldron were still intact.
The precious Holy Spirit-level resources that appeared in the inheritance scene shone brightly, and the treasures within the cauldron were so valuable that they could be described as priceless.
In addition, there were five thick sheepskin scrolls.
Su Ping's main consciousness focused on these scrolls.
The contents of the five scrolls were clearly written on them, respectively:
'Toxin Volume 1', 'Toxin Volume 2', 'Plant Volume', 'Meditation Technique', and 'Miscellany Record'.
The first three scrolls were likely the true inheritance of the original breeder and beastmaster.
All the experiences and insights of the original beast companion breeder were probably contained within these scrolls.
However, just by looking at the thickness of the scrolls, Su Ping knew that it would not be easy to read through them, let alone fully comprehend them.
What truly piqued Su Ping's interest at this moment were the last two scrolls.
He never expected that there would be an extremely precious meditation technique!
He directly opened the meditation scroll with his consciousness within the small cauldron, and as expected, the name of the meditation technique perfectly matched Su Ping's impression of the Nan Zhao King from thousands of years ago:
'Five Toxins Spirit Refinement Meditation'.
This item, if precious, might be the most valuable thing in the entire inheritance.
However, for Su Ping, its value was...
He shook his head and stopped observing, instead turning his attention to the last scroll, which seemed to be the final volume left by the Nan Zhao King.
This work is uploaded by the Six Books Bar~~
It was also the thinnest, with only one page.
When he opened it, a clear small seal script appeared before his eyes, not serpent script.
'Situ Feng's inheritance is left here, hoping that future generations will receive my inheritance and fulfill my wishes.
One of my wishes is to become a Totem Beastmaster, but I know my talents are limited. I hope that my beast will find a person who can pave the way for the Totem path! If you are not on this path and receive my inheritance, I hope you can help preserve my toxin lineage. Situ Feng thanks you.'
Su Ping raised his eyebrows, not surprised by this message.
When he had asked the Souls of the Five Saints why they were giving him their inheritance, the answer was that he had the potential for a legendary path.
Of course, Su Ping later understood that it was the Green Demon Bichuan's response to his body that had some legendary potential.
The Five Saints' Souls, even in their past lives, were all Imperial Rank Companion Beasts. However, in this situation, how can one determine if future generations possess legendary potential?
This is indeed a difficult problem.
After all, if one has already reached the legendary rank, why would they enter the Realm of the Five Saints to retrieve the Eggs of the Five Saints?
Therefore, Situ Feng's first wish is essentially challenging, but he understands that this miniature world is obviously not just an entrance. If the Wolf Pack Specialized Forces had found this place and taken it away, he would have no business here.
Thinking of this, Su Ping nods and continues reading:
"My second wish in life is to expand the Toxin Branch."
Throughout history, the Toxin Branch has been a branch of the Plant Lineage, but it has been considered an independent lineage since ancient times. Yet, from ancient times to the present, most Toxin Branch members are subordinates of the Plant Lineage!
Alas, my talent is limited, and my path to legend is full of hardships. If I return from the north empty-handed, I will remain at this stage for life.
In my youth, I was merely a lowly herb-gathering slave of the Nan Zhao Tribe. By chance, I ventured here and obtained the divine favor of the heavens. I am already blessed beyond measure and dare not ask for more.
But if fate allows, I am still willing to leave the name of Situ Feng in the river of time! In the Toxin Volume, there are Fire Toxins, Water Toxins, and Earth Toxins. By cultivating these toxins, the Toxin Path is no longer confined to the limitations of the Plant Lineage.
I hope that future generations can use this to open up the Toxin Path, or even the Extreme Path's wondrous techniques, using this as the foundation."
This...
Su Ping sighs and shakes his head.
Perhaps in that era, the Toxin Branch was merely an attribute category under the Plant Lineage.
But two thousand years have passed! The development of various Companion Beasts is no longer restricted by such limitations.
The Toxin Branch is no longer confined to the Plant Lineage.
Not to mention that my cousin, Rong Mang's Iron Thorn Peak, is a Gold Attribute Toxin Companion Beast.
And needless to say, there are now Red Devil Companion Beasts that use their spirits as a connection to the Toxin Lineage.
One can only say that Situ Feng is limited by the perspectives of the ancients. This wish of his is either destined for disappointment or direct fulfillment. However, he wants to leave his name in history, which is a bit challenging.
Su Ping also takes note of this in his heart and then looks at the final words of this chapter, which is actually a will:
"My third wish in life is for this broken world. By chance, I entered this world and used a handful of mountain spring water to nourish the spirit root here. It gained the favor of the heavens, and its spirituality acknowledged me.
Although this spirit root lacks specific consciousness and intelligence, it is extremely mysterious and strange. I have tried several times but failed to escape this confined space. If future generations can reclaim this broken world and its spirit root, my heart will be at ease.
Finally, the Five Toxins Cauldron is the treasure I spent a fortune to create in my lifetime. Its wondrous uses can be experienced by future generations..."
That's it!
Su Ping furrows his brows slightly, wondering why Situ Feng seems so off.
Your third wish.
How can one reclaim the spirit root of this broken world?
Does it mean I have to find the true form of the World Tree myself? This is obviously unscientific!
Su Ping shakes his head. No wonder the Nan Zhao Kingdom did not compete with the Wu Dynasty and became a stepping stone in the wheels of history.
Situ Feng's words are indeed strange.
Thinking of this, Su Ping slowly withdraws his consciousness from the Five Toxins Cauldron.
As for the other items, there's no rush. Let's see how the research on the Green Demon Bichuan is going.
If I can rely on this person's strength and successfully uproot the World Tree, even if I only get a small share, it's still a huge profit.
However, this thought has just emerged.
A indescribable feeling keeps surfacing in Su Ping's mind.
Su Ping hasn't felt this way in a long time.
The last time was when he ate Xiao Qing's sunflower seeds.
Although he could still retain his consciousness at that time.
This time, the dizziness and the Five Toxins Cauldron seem to permeate his spiritual consciousness, almost before Su Ping can react, and he completely loses all consciousness.
In the end, he can only curse in his heart:
"Damn it! Toxin Lineage Beastmasters are truly no good!"
And the final soul contract:
"Xiao Qing, save me!"
