Chapter 508: Carving Life! Sovereign Seventh Rank!
Chapter 508: Carving Life! Sovereign Seventh Rank!
A big eye stared at a small one.
Su Ping placed the pile of resources at his feet and then squatted to the side, watching the Mystical Green Demon, who was also there.
He seemed like a novice hunter setting bait in a trap, waiting for his prey to come.
Even the Mystical Green Demon, who was beside him, gave him a strange look.
The Mystical Green Demon stretched out her branches like green flame tentacles and pulled Su Ping towards her, then brought him back in front of her. She waved her hand as if to say, 'If you want to watch, watch properly.'
It was clear that after half a year, their relationship had indeed become quite close.
The Mystical Green Demon seemed to understand Su Ping's thoughts, but she didn't seem to mind.
Including at this very moment.
In front of the Mystical Green Demon were three Sacred Spirit-level resources.
They were Titan Wood, Divine Spore, and Mother Root.
Additionally, there were several Imperial-level resources that didn't belong to the urgent resources the Mystical Green Demon needed. Instead, there was a large pile of Elite-level life system resources, 'Life Spring', and some life system resources, 'Life Embryo'.
Su Ping wanted to see what this extremely mysterious Mystical Green Demon was going to do with these resources.
However, before Su Ping could react, the Mystical Green Demon had already started moving.
Three branches directly grabbed these three precious Sacred Spirit-level Wood system resources and merged them into her body.
It was so fast that Su Ping didn't even have time to react. These three resources disappeared without a trace, not even a hint of them left.
Gone?
Just like that, it was gone?
Su Ping blinked at the seemingly satisfied Mystical Green Demon.
He had hoped to see if he could get some more secrets from this extremely mysterious being.
Like the treasure of the Wood Root.
But now, it was just gone?
Su Ping felt like crying, but he also understood that the Mystical Green Demon had requested these resources most likely for her own advancement.
After meeting the World Tree, the three special Sacred Spirit-level resources that the Mystical Green Demon needed seemed to be for her own enhancement.
In this situation, these three precious resources were directly absorbed and refined, without any detours.
Understanding this, Su Ping couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.
However, just as he was about to stand up in disappointment, the Mystical Green Demon seemed to understand his thoughts, but she didn't seem to care. She slowly extended a branch.
A dark green sap slowly oozed out from the branch.
A peculiar smell made Su Ping frown.
But soon, he forgot about the source of the smell.
As the sap continued to ooze out, it formed a viscous liquid like blood, and it even started to solidify.
Then, to Su Ping's amazement, the liquid began to wriggle like a living thing.
In Su Ping's astonished gaze, the liquid slowly separated into three parts.
The middle part gradually turned into a dark green branch, like a strange green shield, which looked incredibly thick and solid.
Su Ping clearly remembered that this was the Titan Wood.
Titan Wood was a Sacred Spirit-level Wood system resource with no special function, except for one thing: it could grow incredibly large! With enough Wood system energy, a piece of Titan Wood the size of a fingernail could become a kilometer-long giant wood.
It was also extremely heavy and sturdy, but when using Wood system energy to levitate it, it required very little energy. This resource was often used as a Wood system weapon on the battlefield.
It was also used in many Wood system breeding skills.
Now, after being absorbed and refined, the Titan Wood reappeared? And it evolved from the sap again?
But that wasn't all.
The dark green sap slowly solidified and wriggled, forming not only the Titan Wood in the middle but also the Mother Root below.
As expected, the formed root was the 'Mother Root' from the Sacred Spirit-level resource.
Mother Root was also a Wood system Sacred Spirit-level resource with an extraordinary effect, even considered heaven-defying.
Any Wood system pet could connect to the Mother Root, and any injuries they sustained could be healed by the Mother Root.
Even the small palm-sized Mother Root could perfectly heal the wounds of the 'Old Tree' of the Life Tree.
Additionally, any plant system pet connected to the Mother Root could directly break through their racial limit by one major realm! Although it couldn't surpass the limit of the Sacred Spirit-level, it was still a heaven-defying resource that could transform a plant system pet.
Now, the Mother Root had formed the true root of this strange tree.
And soon, as expected, at the crown of the tree, wriggling green spheres began to appear.
Divine Spores.
There wasn't much to say about this. Su Ping had used the special resource 'Rapid Reproduction Spore' when breeding pets.
This Divine Spore is similar to that thing, as it can rapidly shape new life forms when used on corresponding life entities. However, the rapidly reproducing spores have a limit, while theoretically, the Divine Spore has no such restriction.
This thing is said to be one of the most impressive Transcendent Skills among the Hall Rank skills, the legendary 'Life Forest Matrix,' which was supposedly cultivated using the 'Elixir of Immortality.'
Of course, this is a secret within the Breeder's backstage, unknown to ordinary Breeders.
At this moment, these three resources, all of the Wood Type but otherwise unrelated, have just completed a circuit within the body of the Mystical Green Demon.
Looking at the tree before him, Su Ping finally understands what the Mystical Green Demon is up to.
It made a tree.
Using three invaluable resources, it crafted a peculiar tree, a species never before seen on Blue Star.
What could be its intention? Su Ping doesn't comprehend, but he's finally intrigued, his eyes fixed on the Mystical Green Demon's next move, not blinking.
If his guess is right, this never-before-seen tree should have been the World Tree, right?
But...
Su Ping's brows furrow slightly as he watches the tree slowly taking shape and even growing.
It seems to be a completely different new species, a new tree, with a trunk, branches, and roots all of exceptional quality.
Yet, even as it slowly merges, leaving Su Ping with a harmonious sight, it remains undeniable that this is a chimera.
Is it a resource or a Companion Beast? A resource has various effects, but lacks self-awareness and intelligent thought.
If it's a Companion Beast, it's even more straightforward; this thing has no signs of life, only self-awareness and intelligence, lacking any life force.
This is why the tree before him is so baffling.
The tree slowly grows from the ground.
Soon, in the center of the Spring Heart's spiritual land, it becomes a small tree about one and a half meters tall.
But that's all.
However, the Mystical Green Demon doesn't seem to mind at all; instead, looking at the small tree, it nods in satisfaction, quite pleased.
Su Ping doesn't understand.
But soon, the Mystical Green Demon acts again.
It gives Su Ping a meaningful look, and then a branch extends, placing the last two resources in its 'hand.'
Life Spring and Life Embryo.
The former needs no introduction, a spring brimming with life energy, which once, in a different way, gave birth to a low-value Mechanical Core when the Mechanical Core was born.
At the same time, it also advanced the Dragon Nation's Mechanical Companion Beast, a significant step towards popularization.
As for the Life Embryo, it's quite noteworthy.
This thing resembles a walnut, about the size of one, but with a remarkably smooth surface. Though it's a Sovereign Rank resource and thus has some value, it's not actually that rare!
The reason is that its specific function and value are not high.
Often, it serves a similar purpose to Life Essence and Life Essence, supplementing life force.
However, its effect within the same level is far inferior to Life Essence.
It's just that, when used on Plant Type Companion Beasts, it's more easily absorbed than Life Essence.
But in terms of life force recovery, it's only half as effective.
Compared to the Overlord Rank Life Fruit, it's not much stronger.
It's one of the lowest-ranked 'Life' resources.
Now, what situation would the Mystical Green Demon need to use this thing? Su Ping can't imagine.
And soon, the Mystical Green Demon acts again. It doesn't rush to move the Life Spring but instead, the two tentacles that appeared grasp the Life Embryo firmly.
One of the tentacles suddenly turns into a small thorn, like a sharp rasp.
Just as the 'rasp' is about to touch the Life Embryo, the Mystical Green Demon seems to hesitate, as if it thought of something, and then directly throws the Life Embryo to Su Ping.
Amidst Su Ping's astonishment, the tentacles touch Su Ping's wrist and then slowly spread into Su Ping's palm.
At the same time, it becomes a strange wooden rasp.
Even though it's wooden, the sharpness of its tip is enough to convince Su Ping that this thing's power is absolutely lethal.
What could this mean?
Before Su Ping can think further, the tentacle touching Su Ping's wrist transmits a mental force, a peculiar trace that's indescribable, like a winding fire line flashing in Su Ping's mind.
Instinctively, he gripped the rasp and, to his surprise, began carving the life embryo held by the other hand.
At this moment, Su Ping seemed less like a beastmaster or breeder and more like a folk woodcarver.
The wooden tendril-turned-rasp was the best tool in his hands.
On the oddly-shaped embryo, no bigger than a walnut, intricate and bizarre marks were carved, leaving a trail of peculiar imprints.
It was a feeling that Su Ping struggled to describe.
However, under the guidance of the Mystical Green Demon, with each stroke, it was as if marks were being etched into his very life.
These marks, even for a bystander, would likely require thousands of attempts to grasp even a fraction of the details and nuances.
This was because the marks Su Ping carved, beyond mere craftsmanship, were imbued with spiritual power.
Every line, every depth, had to be precise!
As he meticulously carved, Su Ping entered a peculiar state of focus, unaware that his already vibrant spiritual power was intensifying with each curve and line of the rasp.
And then!
Boom!
For Su Ping, who had already achieved a certain level of meditation, breaking through was effortless.
The Sovereign Rank 6, who had just returned from Yunnan-Tibet, unknowingly achieved a breakthrough.
Sovereign Rank 7!
However, at this moment, Su Ping seemed completely unaffected, not paying any attention to his advancement.
His entire focus was on the 'walnut' in his hand.
He felt like a creator, not crafting wood but sculpting life itself.
In fact, that's exactly what he was doing.
Suddenly, Su Ping felt he understood why this Sovereign-level resource, named 'Life Embryo', was called so.
Finally, after thirty minutes,
Su Ping snapped out of his trance-like state, his palm trembling, his spiritual power seemingly depleted. He felt an indescribable exhaustion yet also an unprecedented excitement.
He felt he had learned an incredible skill from the Mystical Green Demon.
Compared to his breakthrough, the latter seemed insignificant.
No, it wasn't insignificant.
Su Ping realized that if he continued breaking through like this, he might not even be able to enter Heaven's Tomb.
No, he definitely needed to get a grip.
With this thought, Su Ping snapped back to the present, looking at the oddly-carved 'walnut' in his hand.
Originally smooth, the 'walnut' now bore bizarre marks all over.
These marks had an inexplicable familiarity, yet Su Ping couldn't recall ever seeing them before.
The entire 'walnut' seemed to come alive, compared to before.
The next moment, this feeling intensified.
The Mystical Green Demon's branch-like tendrils gently immersed the life embryo in the life spring.
Amidst the verdant glow, Su Ping witnessed the dead resource transform into a true life embryo.
This embryo, however, wasn't a human baby or a pet's offspring, but an indescribable source of life.
Su Ping didn't understand, but his Soul Eye, enhanced with the True Eye, could observe and analyze certain resources.
And indeed, with a glance:
[Life Embryo: Sovereign-Level Life System Special Resource. Its basic function is to increase the vitality of lifeforms. However, after special life carving, which completes the life vessels and life energy pathways, it undergoes extreme changes. It can be used as a foundational life-forming resource with numerous potential applications.]
Su Ping blinked.
So, it was life carving?
Life vessels and life energy pathways?
He fell into deep thought.
However, the Mystical Green Demon paid no heed to Su Ping's musings and, after soaking the life embryo in the life spring, fully awakened it.
In Su Ping's astonished gaze, the embryo merged with the small tree.
At this moment, the originally lifeless hybrid tree seemed to be infused with an indescribable vitality.
Like a lifeless person suddenly gaining a spine.
Like a beautifully painted dragon suddenly having its eyes dotted.
After merging with the Sovereign-level life embryo, the tree seemed to gain a new life force.
An indescribable vitality slowly emerged.
Then, before Su Ping could react, the Mystical Green Demon's body, burning with a deep green flame, approached the tree.
And then, in a single step, they merged into one.
Finally, as Su Ping stood dumbfounded, a beam of evolutionary light shot into the sky!
