Chapter 652: The Lifespan Tree
Chapter 652: The Lifespan Tree
"Lord Boundless Mountain."
Fang Xing greeted Lord Boundless Mountain, who was the leader of the faction he had previously been part of.
"Hehe... I am truly pleased to see you, Black Dragon Daoist, reach this point."
Lord Boundless Mountain was an elderly man in a white robe. Despite his face being full of wrinkles, his eyes were as bright as stars, radiating wisdom: "Let me introduce you. This is Great Demon, a former disciple of the Demon Sect. This is Three-Leaf Daoist from the Three-Leaf Sect, and this is Turtle Ancestor from the Spirit Return Sect..."
Fang Xing greeted each of them in turn.
Great Demon was a middle-aged man in a black robe, with a faint aura of darkness surrounding him.
Three-Leaf Daoist was dressed as a daoist, carrying a long sword that resembled a green leaf.
Turtle Ancestor was another demon emperor, whose true form seemed to be a Baxia. Seeing Fang Xing, he immediately smiled warmly.
"And this is Xuan Nuwa from the Empress Nuwa Hall!"
Lord Boundless Mountain mentioned this and then said no more.
"So, you are Xuan Nuwa Daoist?"
Fang Xing smiled brightly.
"Black Dragon Daoist, the previous misunderstanding was the fault of my disciples..."
Xuan Nuwa, dressed in a yellow robe, stepped forward with a forced smile: "I will certainly deal with them severely upon my return!"
Although the conflict was initially caused by Fang Xing killing their people, she had to endure it now.
"Not enough."
Fang Xing shook his head.
"Then what do you propose, Daoist?"
Xuan Nuwa's expression was guarded, and she felt a sense of desolation.
They, as great powers in the Chaotic Realm, were the patriarchs of major factions in the Green Primordial World.
Yet, they felt so powerless in front of this person.
'Could it be that this Black Dragon has already reached the zenith of the Chaotic Realm?'
'No, he must have just broken through to the Chaotic Realm, but the Panwu Great Path is too formidable... The secret arts and techniques passed down by Eternal Existence are truly profound...'
...
As Xuan Nuwa was anxious, she heard Fang Xing's voice: "I intend to establish a sect on the foundation of the Green Emperor Palace. Let's call it the Spirit Treasure Palace... Since your Empress Nuwa Hall is wealthy, could you support me first? I will end the support once my Spirit Treasure Palace cultivates twelve Celestial Immortals or Celestial Demons, how about that?"
"What?"
Xuan Nuwa was taken aback: "You want twelve sets of resources to cultivate Celestial Immortals or Celestial Demons?"
After all, even the Green Emperor Palace had only eight Celestial Demons at its peak!
Of course, with full cultivation, there would likely be more, but the sect's treasury was a reserve of power and could not be entirely spent in one period.
"If Xuan Nuwa Daoist is unwilling, I will have to come to your door to ask for it myself."
Fang Xing sighed.
Hearing this, Xuan Nuwa's expression changed, and she looked at Lord Boundless Mountain and the others.
Great Demon sighed: "Xuan Nuwa Daoist, I don't think Black Dragon Daoist's request is excessive... Black Dragon Daoist, my Demon Sect also had a misunderstanding with you before. I am willing to compensate with an Imperial Weapon to resolve the conflict, how about that?"
"Excellent!"
Fang Xing chuckled. With his seven-perfect heart, he naturally understood that Xuan Nuwa was trying to rally other great powers in the Chaotic Realm to oppose him.
Unfortunately, he was a lone figure, backed by Eternal Existence, and no one was willing to be his enemy.
Especially since he was preparing to establish a sect, which was like voluntarily exposing his weaknesses, turning from a barefoot person into one with shoes.
These great powers in the Chaotic Realm would be more likely to go along with things rather than anger him.
Even Great Demon of the Demon Sect was ready to take advantage of the situation, doing him a favor, and resolving their karmic ties.
'It's just as ridiculous as thinking that all the landlords would immediately unite against you if you tried to redistribute land in ancient times!'
'While landlords are indeed of the same class, they are not hive-minded insects. How could they suddenly unite as one? Even a person with the highest charisma could not achieve this... After all, any landlord might have had conflicts over water rights, fought and killed each other, and harbored deep grudges...'
'The same applies here... Although I am a fierce dragon crossing the river, I have shown my strength by destroying the Green Emperor Palace and only targeted the Empress Nuwa Hall... The other great powers in the Chaotic Realm will only watch from the sidelines.'
'The best choice is always the one that is never chosen, leaving only worse and worse options...'
Fang Xing sighed.
In a world where power is centralized in individuals, selfishness is amplified a thousandfold.
He felt that even if he could not defeat these great powers united, destroying their factions did not seem too difficult.
It would be like the State of Qin, forming alliances with distant states and attacking nearby ones, slowly slicing through the opposition...
'My Spirit Treasure Palace is just a whim, a way to see if I can cultivate disciples for the future path...'
Eternal Existence was far from Fang Xing, so he was not in a hurry to sever his karmic ties.
Moreover, this was a precaution.
"If I open a path, it will surely surpass the Panwu Great Path..."
"Finding enough talented individuals to fill the path is no easy task."
Fang Xing muttered to himself as he looked at Xuan Nuwa.
Now, all the pressure was on Xuan Nuwa.
Her face alternated between red and white, and then she gritted her teeth: "Fine... the Empress Nuwa Hall will accept this!"
"Ha, if that's the case, we will still be daoist companions in the future."
Fang Xing responded with a smile.
"Congratulations, Black Dragon Daoist, for establishing another sacred land in the Great Green Origin Realm."
The Dao Lords immediately offered their congratulations, their faces filled with sincere smiles.
As for what they truly thought, no one could know.
...
A few days later, a shocking piece of news spread throughout the Great Green Origin Realm.
The powerful faction that had endured for countless ages, the Green Emperor Palace, had been annihilated, replaced by the Spirit Treasure Palace!
The Black Dragon Demon Emperor had slain the Green Emperor, his fame spreading far and wide. Moreover, the Black Dragon Demon Emperor declared that the Spirit Treasure Palace would accept all, regardless of their background, as long as they did not indiscriminately kill living beings. This attracted countless people and demons, all waiting for the day the Spirit Treasure Palace would open its gates, hoping to be chosen by the Black Dragon Demon Emperor and achieve a great transformation.
After all, the Black Dragon Demon Emperor was not only hailed as the greatest genius in ten thousand years but also had a mentor at the Eternity Realm, making him one of the most powerful figures in the Great Green Origin Realm.
...
Spirit Treasure Palace.
At the mountain gate.
Fang Xing casually took a palace-type Imperial Weapon from the Pangu Secret Realm and placed it at the site of the Green Emperor Palace’s mountain gate, transforming it into the main base of the Spirit Treasure Palace.
"Black Emperor kills Green Emperor..."
He pondered the rumors, finding them somewhat amusing: "Well, it's a bit of a reversal of the natural order... but it's still acceptable."
After all, according to the Five Virtues Theory, Black represents Water Virtue, and Green represents Wood Virtue. Water nourishes Wood, and Wood overcomes Earth, while Earth overcomes Water...
Thus, Green Virtue is subtly above Black Virtue, yet the Green Emperor was killed by the Black Emperor...
"But I don’t cultivate the Five Elements Path... the interplay of the Five Elements doesn’t concern me."
Fang Xing sat cross-legged, reflecting on the Green Emperor’s combat prowess.
"The Chaos Realm is indeed different from the Ancient Gods..."
"Although my strength can steadily defeat a Realm Dao Lord of this level, it's very difficult to kill them... In the end, I had to use my True Soul Attack as the final move."
The power of the heart is a transcendent legacy. Even without the intimidation of transcendent blood, Fang Xing’s prolonged battle with the Green Emperor, combined with willpower attacks, weakened the Green Emperor, allowing him to ultimately succeed.
"Whether it's the Pangu Body or the Chaos Fist... there are too many shortcomings that need improvement."
"Establishing the Spirit Treasure Palace also allows subordinate factions to offer tributes, helping me gather various heavenly materials... the resources of the Great Green Origin Realm are abundant, with many treasures that even the Dharma Lords of the Great Xia Universe would envy. Many are in special secret realms, accessible only by Celestial Immortals or even Yuan Shen cultivators..."
"Working for others is never as good as running your own business."
Fang Xing took out the Green Emperor’s remains, retrieving the storage treasure from his body, which was the ruined Green Emperor Palace.
After a brief inspection, a smile appeared on his face: "Not bad, not bad... to have such a large reserve of Chaos Crystals, but the best thing is this Sacred Tree..."
He looked at the Sacred Tree that had emerged after the Green Emperor’s death.
The tree resembled a pine or cypress but was incredibly tall, with a width of a mile, like the legendary Heavenly Tree.
"Despite such a strong foundation, he only managed to comprehend the Way of Life and Breath, making him a waste."
Fang Xing stroked the tree, sensing the vitality within.
Although the ancient tree’s life force had been completely severed, making it only suitable as material, each inch of it was rich in vitality.
If refined into an Imperial Weapon, it would definitely have self-repairing abilities.
What made Fang Xing even more intrigued was its unique properties.
"The Tree Heart has a miraculous effect, capable of extending the lifespan of Yuan Shen cultivators!"
After a brief perception, Fang Xing couldn’t help but marvel.
The Great Green Origin Realm is extremely harsh on cultivators below the thirteenth realm. Even a Yuan Shen Overlord only has a ten-thousand-year lifespan.
Ten thousand years!
For mortals or those who cultivate through the spirit root method, it might bring tears of joy.
But for great Yuan Shen cultivators, even Yuan Shen Overlords, it is far too short.
Unfortunately, the world’s laws limit this, and there are very few extraordinary items that can break these limits.
"The Tree Heart of a fourteenth-realm Demon Emperor... even among the extraordinary items of the fourteenth realm, it is considered a rare treasure. How could it be used to extend the lifespan of a Yuan Shen cultivator?"
"Thus, in this world, Yuan Shen cultivators without extraordinary opportunities have virtually no hope of extending their lifespans..."
Fang Xing muttered, but he didn’t forget that the world is vast, and anything is possible.
Compared to a Yuan Shen cultivator gaining an extraordinary opportunity to extend their lifespan, his own journey from an ordinary person to a transcendent being was an even greater opportunity.
"Hmm... I’ve never seen any records of this Green Emperor Sacred Tree. It must be a unique treasure..."
"Unfortunately, I’ve killed all its seeds, or I might have wanted to plant it..."
Fang Xing estimated that this tree’s primary function was related to extending life.
Perhaps... it even involved time!
"Lifespan Tree? Time God Tree?"
Fang Xing thought for a moment: "I have no way to revive it, but perhaps my True Self’s Druid path can..."
After all, the Druid path is a transcendent legacy, and Fang Xing specializes in the plant domain, possessing various unimaginable talents.
His ability to condense ‘great divinity’ in the Gods’ world is not due to the divinity of the Gods, but to the natural domain and the transcendent legacy!
