Chapter 615: Level 19
Chapter 615: Level 19
"Not good... When did they activate the formation outside?"
Fei Yong and the others, after their hopes were dashed, naturally wanted to flee.
But to their horror, they discovered that the sect had directly activated the grand formation, sealing off all exits.
It was clear that they intended to trap them here until they perished!
"This All-PlantArmy Formation was set up by others, and it's normal to leave a few secret exits, right?"
Fang Xing, now revealing his Yinshen Immortal cultivation, was the undisputed leader of this group of abandoned ones.
He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the faint green light screens that appeared one after another, a slight smile on his face.
This All-PlantArmy Formation was the accumulation of countless generations, and he had never thought of usurping it.
Instead, Fang Xing had always been starting anew!
By planting trees and establishing the 'Lin zhong sheng di', he had crushed and replaced the original grand formation!
From the roots, he had uprooted everything in Qingmu Mountain, and now, starting anew, he wouldn't be affected by anything.
"Kill-Life Cult... Destroying everything?"
Fang Xing walked through Qingmu Mountain, and on his body, faint green lights flickered like fireflies, dancing around and occasionally touching the ground.
Soon, the original buildings began to erode and decay, as if they had endured hundreds or even thousands of years of erosion.
Vines, ancient trees, and wildflowers appeared.
It was as if, in the battle between man and nature, humanity had retreated, and nature had reclaimed the original buildings and everything else...
Fang Xing measured the land of Qingmu Mountain with his own footsteps, his footprints covering almost every inch of the mountain.
The other cultivators, including Fei Yong, were perplexed and didn't dare disturb him, so they could only watch anxiously from the side.
"Unwilling to let go, longing..."
"Has this land, this nature, completely accepted me?"
A thought crossed Fang Xing's mind: "If a Druid's plant domain is too deep, it's actually not good..."
For example, right now, his instincts were urging him to leave this dangerous place, but his sense of responsibility as a Druid made him want to stay and protect the nature here, everything here!
If he hadn't used the 'Xuexie Yansheng' divine art to create a backup of himself in the outside world, even with the excellent Druid heritage, Fang Xing would have had to leave.
Even if he faced nature's disdain for doing so, what of it? He could still walk the path of a fallen, dark Druid!
A Druid class wasn't so inconvenient, was it?
[You have received a natural baptism, gaining partial 'Nature Knowledge'...]
As Fang Xing delved deeper into nature, attribute bar prompts kept appearing.
Perhaps after a few days, or maybe a few months.
The attribute bar trembled, and a brand-new prompt appeared:
[Your Druid class has advanced to level 19! You have gained the talent 'Nature's Wrath'!]
[Nature's Wrath - You can mark an enemy, making them an enemy of nature, and they will bear the wrath of nature!]
"Nature's Wrath? That's also a large-scale natural ritual."
Fang Xing sighed.
Nature is indeed terrifying, and its wrath can manifest as storms, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and even earthquakes...
If the marked 'enemy of nature' is just marked and does nothing else, the wrath of nature they endure will be ordinary.
But if they truly commit an act that destroys nature and are then marked as an enemy, the wrath of nature they face will become increasingly terrifying, eventually reaching the level of 'Heaven's Punishment Tribulation'.
"Finally... Level 19."
"What a shame... To reach level 20, there's still not enough time."
Fang Xing sighed and glanced at his attribute bar:
[Name: Fang Xing]
[Age: 106/4379]
[Class: Druid Level 19]
[Realm: Middle Yinshen]
[Talents: Nature Affinity, Wilderness Shapeshifting, Plant Growth, Toxin Immunity, Youth Endurance, Thorn Spell, Bark Armor, Nature Cure, Enlightened Treant, Tree Herder, Toughness, Battle Magic, Enlightenment, Regeneration, Ageless Body, Nature Summoning, Advanced Nature Cure, Nature's Wrath]
[Skills: Perfect Hand (Grandmaster 800/800), Origami Art (Grandmaster 800/800), Beast Taming (Grandmaster 800/800), Qi Gathering (Grandmaster 800/800), Soul Confusion (Grandmaster 800/800)]
...
"Oh? So my Yinshen cultivation is also improving?"
The current Fang Xing could be said to have obtained the true teachings of Qingmu Mountain. Although the fundamental great laws were taken away, he only needed the basic cultivation methods.
The path after Yinshen Immortal was now completely clear to him.
As a result, his cultivation progressed without any stagnation, and he broke through a minor realm with a single thought.
"The cultivation of Yinshen Immortal is simple; it's just a matter of purifying Yinshen into Yang. Once there's a bit of Yang transformation, one can break through to Yangshen True Lord, and Yangshen True Lord is about continuously cultivating Yangshen until it becomes indistinguishable from the flesh..."
"I always feel that these cultivation paths are somewhat incomplete... It seems like they're specifically designed to transform oneself into the path of incense and divine worship."
Whether it's Yinshen or Yangshen, as long as one receives the court's appointment, the transformation into Dizhi will be very smooth.
Of course, Dao Ji, Ganqi, and even ordinary people can also be appointed, but the transformation will be more challenging, and the power gained in the end will be minimal.
"These major sects boast of their 'Ancient Dao Traditions', but after reaching Yangshen, there seems to be some unfinished business..."
Fang Xing vaguely heard that Yangshen True Lord held a high position in the Da Zhou God Dynasty and could establish their own sect.
And all of them bowed down to the Divine Dynasty, willing to be their hounds, just to receive the court's rewards and titles...
It seems like one can instantly ascend and become a demigod in the mortal realm!
This is the ultimate power in the mortal world, and beyond this, one would have to ascend to the Heavenly Court.
"So, these ancient Dao lineages are actually quite limited in their future prospects."
"Decades, centuries, and even nearly a millennium of bitter cultivation... Is it all not as good as a single imperial title from the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty? A single divine grace from a True God?"
Dots of green light, like stars, encircled Fang Xing.
His entire body floated up, like a green sun.
A green sun enveloped Qingmu Mountain, and the evergreens he had planted suddenly began to grow wildly.
The ancient spirit trees, hundreds of years old, broke through a thousand years in an instant.
Many old trees even transformed into ten-thousand-year-old trees! Especially in the direction of Qingyu Garden, a towering ancient tree rose into the sky, its canopy blocking out the sun, covering the entire valley.
"This..."
Fei Yong and the others looked at each other in confusion, unable to understand what had happened.
"The Sacred Grove - Nature's Barrier!"
Fang Xing, with his upgraded Nature Affinity and Nature Perception, instantly sensed all the evergreens on Qingmu Mountain.
The latest, smallest, and weakest book in the sixth volume of the Nine Books of the Forest is about to be released!
Countless tree roots immediately penetrated the earth's pulse, like a constricting force, crushing flags, magic disks, and even large magic arrays into powder.
A dark green light shield filled with vitality soared into the sky.
Wherever it passed, the original 'All-PlantArmy Formation' shattered like soap bubbles.
In the attribute bar, rows of prompts appeared:
[You have constructed the 'Sacred Grove', and under the radiation of your plant domain, all living beings within the sacred ground will be affected as follows!]
[One, Nature's Barrier! Two, Magic Banishment! Three, Element Perception...]
[You are within the range of the 'Sacred Grove', and your mana recovery speed is increased by 1000%! You gain additional spellcasting ability! Your summoned natural allies will receive additional enhancements...]
[You have gained control over the four elemental forces!]
...
Countless prompts scrolled down like a waterfall.
"No wonder it's called the 'Sacred Grove', enhancing oneself and weakening the enemy..."
Fang Xing felt the so-called 'four elemental forces': "According to the Druid's teachings, the four elements are 'earth, fire, wind, and water'... Now that I've communicated with them, I'm proficient in four-element spells? Not only can I create fireballs and water balls at will, but I can also cause storms and earthquakes..."
"With my current strength, I can rival a Yangshen True Lord."
"But what about the Post-Yangshen Realm? Let's first make contact and see."
Fang Xing looked outside.
At this moment, Fei Yong and the other cultivators were already stunned by this sudden change.
"The All-PlantArmy Formation... is broken?"
"Haha, my grandpa was indeed well-prepared."
Fei Yong laughed heartily, and paper cranes flew in.
These paper cranes were used to transmit information and intelligence among cultivators, and they had been blocked outside until now.
Now, they swarmed in, as these cultivators had families and friends to worry about.
After the news spread, exclamations of surprise rang out: "What? The Gua Shu Sect has been destroyed?"
"Not only that, but the Kill-Life Cult's forces have already reached Yunlai Village... It won't be long before they come to sweep Qingmu Mountain!"
Fei Yong hurriedly approached the descending Fang Xing: "Grandpa Fang... What do you think?"
"But when the enemy comes, we'll fight, and when the flood comes, we'll hide. If any of you want to leave, do it now."
Fang Xing waved his hand, addressing his numerous disciples.
"This..."
Several cultivators exchanged glances and then immediately turned and left.
With hot-blooded passion, they might not fear death, but after living in constant fear and waiting for death for so long, they couldn't accept it.
Now that a path to life had suddenly appeared, they naturally chose to leave.
Fang Xing didn't mind.
He whistled, and a Qingyu beetle he had cultivated appeared.
Its size was as large as a millstone, and then it shrank to the size of a fist.
He quite liked this demon insect, and even chose it as one of his wilderness shapeshifting forms.
However, after advancing to the Yinshen True Lord realm, his master-level beast taming technique had gained a new branch.
At this moment, a strand of Fang Xing's Yinshen directly possessed the Qingyu beetle, causing its body to become ethereal and fly into the sky.
'This kind of possession is safer than transforming to investigate...'
Fang Xing now had two perspectives, and he focused his attention on the Qingyu beetle's viewpoint. He saw that outside Qingmu Mountain, several battles had taken place.
The combatants were, of course, the cultivators who had just chosen to leave.
'Even Qingmu Old Ancestor needed an escort when he left, and now you're leaving... The outside world is probably already an impenetrable fortress.'
Fang Xing mocked, and then he saw the Kill-Life Cult's vanguard in action.
They operated in small teams, including archers, black-armored guards, and even black-robed priests. Despite appearing to have only Perception cultivation, they could easily kill Dao Foundation cultivators...
