Chapter 530: The Nine-Dragon Fusang Tree 3
Chapter 530: The Nine-Dragon Fusang Tree 3
Upon hearing the news of Erzu's breakthrough to the Holy Spirit Rank, Li Qian was initially surprised.
With the appearance of the Dimensional Rift, the crisis in the Tranquil Secret Realm could be considered resolved, but unfortunately, human plans often fall short of heaven's will.
Erzu was someone Li Qian and Mu Tianhua had prepared in advance, and was also one of the conditions the Mu Clan offered to support Zhao Zihuan.
Of course, if we're solely talking about effectiveness, as long as it's a skill with "Ancient Blessing," it should work.
The number of Wood-type Companion Beasts that have mastered the "Ancient Blessing" skill is not small, and logically speaking, there was no need to call upon Erzu.
However, since the Mu Clan took the initiative to volunteer, Li Qian naturally wouldn't refuse. After all, Erzu is a Holy Spirit Rank Ancient Golden Banyan Tree, and the "Ancient Blessing" skill he possesses is undoubtedly of a high proficiency level.
Since the Mu Clan took the initiative, Li Qian was naturally pleased.
A higher-level "Ancient Blessing" skill could also slightly increase the success rate of evolution.
Erzu was released, and it was an Ancient Golden Banyan Tree of similar size to the Golden Banyan Tree.
Of course, Li Qian was well aware that this was just the surface, and Erzu, having mastered the relevant skills, was only displaying this much of its true size. If it were to be fully released, who knows how large its original form would be.
"Please, Senior Erzu, demonstrate the 'Ancient Blessing' skill!" Li Qian gazed at the released Ancient Golden Banyan Tree and issued the command.
The Ancient Golden Banyan Tree, Erzu, was very powerful, but Li Qian didn't care about such details when it came to evolution.
In this regard, he always felt that he was the authority.
For any evolution he presided over, everyone had to listen to him.
Upon hearing this, Erzu didn't hesitate or speak; instead, he silently demonstrated the "Ancient Blessing" skill.
Accompanied by a starlight-like radiance, the Golden Banyan Tree, which had already reached its racial potential limit, suddenly burst forth with intense evolutionary light.
The evolution began.
From Golden Silk Ficus to Golden Banyan Tree and then to Ancient Golden Banyan Tree, these were all known evolutionary paths that the Mu Clan had already mastered.
However, a pure Ancient Golden Banyan Tree, even if it reached the Holy Spirit Rank, would be its limit.
To break through further was almost impossible.
It was precisely because of this racial potential limitation that the Banyan Ancestor was forced to attempt a mutated evolution.
Absorbing the energy within the Sun Essence Gold was one of the methods.
In fact, this path wasn't something he and the previous Mu Clan leader had blindly stumbled upon.
It was something they discovered during their training in the Dimensional Plane, recorded on an ancient evolution stone tablet they excavated within a ruin.
According to their speculation, the stone tablet should have recorded a complete evolutionary method for the Ancient Golden Banyan Tree.
Unfortunately, when they found the stone tablet, it was already severely damaged, missing crucial information.
The Banyan Ancestor's evolution into a mutated Ancient Golden Banyan Tree was completed under such circumstances of partial understanding.
And it was also because of this partial understanding that the evolution resulted in the significant drawback of a flawed evolution.
Otherwise, according to the content recorded on the stone tablet, after a successful evolution, its potential should have been able to break through to the Legendary Rank, and there wouldn't have been the drawback of a loss of vitality.
The Mu Clan had already evolved numerous Ancient Golden Banyan Trees through this mature evolutionary path, so Li Qian wasn't worried about the success of this evolution.
As it turned out, there was indeed no need for concern.
After the evolutionary light faded, a new Ancient Golden Banyan Tree, almost identical in appearance to Erzu, appeared before Li Qian.
Due to the successful evolution, the new Ancient Golden Banyan Tree's rank smoothly broke through to the Sovereign Rank.
The massive body trembled, and a human face appeared on the trunk.
A pair of pupils slowly opened on the enormous face. After reaching the Imperial Peak, Banyan Ancestor also regained his memories. He looked at Li Qian and spoke in a gentle voice, "I remember you. You're Li Qian, right?"
Li Qian's forehead creased with a black line upon hearing this.
"Didn't you ask Mu Qianqian to give me the seedling? How can you not know my name?" Li Qian could only attribute it to Banyan Ancestor's recent awakening, his consciousness still a bit hazy.
"I never thought that the seedling I left behind would actually end up in your hands." Banyan Ancestor sighed, but Li Qian didn't respond. The most important thing was that he felt Banyan Ancestor's words were all nonsense, and he didn't know what to say even if he wanted to join the conversation.
So, he chose to remain silent.
After a few more sighs, Banyan Ancestor turned his gaze to the Second Ancestor beside him.
"Banyan Second, I never thought you'd be here too!" Banyan Ancestor exclaimed.
Li Qian struggled to hold back his laughter at the mention of Banyan Second.
What kind of name is Banyan Second? It's a Companion Beast of the Holy Spirit Rank, a family guardian, and the name seems a bit too casual.
"Big brother, can you stop mentioning my name!" Second Ancestor's trunk also revealed a face, a bitter gourd-like face.
His voice carried a tone of complaint.
Li Qian listened, feeling like a wronged child, and the urge to laugh grew stronger.
"What's wrong? Don't you like the name the old master gave you?"
Banyan Ancestor began to lecture earnestly, "Back then, didn't you beg the old master to give you a name?"
"When the old master named you, you were happy for several days."
Second Ancestor's face on the trunk grew even more bitter, and he continued, his voice filled with grievance, "Back then, I was still young and naive..."
"How young? You were already over three hundred years old back then."
Li Qian watched the two trees, now engaged in intense communication, and shook his head helplessly.
Together, the trees were over two thousand years old, and they seemed a bit unreliable...
He waved his hand, summoning Irina.
"Go and get Chancellor Zhao." He instructed, then turned his attention away from the bickering trees.
Irina appeared in a flash, and before long, she brought Zhao Zihuan.
"Banyan Ancestor has regained some strength, reaching the Imperial Peak, and his previous memories have returned."
Li Qian pointed at the two trees, now in heated exchange, and said, "Next, whether you can convince him to form a contract with you depends on your skills."
Having just broken through to the Imperial Peak, Banyan Ancestor still needed time to reach his racial potential limit, so Li Qian wasn't in a hurry.
After a brief explanation of the situation, he waved his hand again, and together with Irina, they voluntarily withdrew from the array.
These two ancient golden banyan trees were indeed a bit noisy, and he wanted some peace and quiet.
Irina saw Li Qian's waving gesture and followed without hesitation, immediately withdrawing from the array.
As she left, a faint smile curved her lips.
"Banyan Ancestor, he's quite interesting," Irina said with a smile.
Li Qian naturally knew what she was smiling about, and he nodded, "Indeed, quite interesting. I wonder if the contract between Chancellor Zhao and him is a good thing or a bad thing..."
