Chapter 3319: Suddenly Feeling Sorry for Withering and Flourishing Elder
In the Beast Emperorâs words, the treasure ground used by Withering and Flourishing Elder for Spirit Plant Rebirth was like a vegetable gardenâplant whatever you want.
As he spoke, the Beast Emperor began erasing Withering and Flourishing Elderâs soul imprint.
While working, the Beast Emperor explained, "This treasure ground actually has another name: the Spirit Rotation Blessed Land."
"Once a Spirit Rotation Blessed Land is formed, it cannot be moved or stored in a rules world. It must remain where it is."
"So, Brother Lin, think carefully about what you want to plant. Itâs best to plant something that doesnât require much care. Anything planted here, whether flowers, grass, or trees, can become spiritual entities."
The Beast Emperor explained the uses of the Spirit Rotation Blessed Land. Anything planted on it could survive.
Even ordinary rice planted here could become spiritual rice, a treasure for cultivation.
In the Great Daos beyond, some people used it to grow various spiritual materials and grains.
The Spirit Plant Rebirth secret technique essentially preserved a final trace of vitality after death. Then the being was replanted here, using the unique properties of the Spirit Rotation Blessed Land to revive them.
This secret technique was only effective for plant-based lifeforms and required a special method to separate a trace of true spirit. Only then could a trace of vitality be left behind after death.
Withering and Flourishing Elder controlled this trace of true spirit, which essentially meant he controlled the life and death of all Dao Venerables in the Hundred Herbs Alliance.
Lin Moyu pondered the Beast Emperorâs words, considering a possibility.
He didnât have any seeds to plant, but if not plants, could he plant something else?
Lin Moyu asked, "Are there many Spirit Rotation Blessed Lands in the Great Daos beyond?"
The Beast Emperor said, "Not many, but not too few either. There used to be many of them, but their numbers decreased after that catastrophe. Fortunately, they are not consumable resources. As long as some remain, they can continue to be used."
"So this thing isnât particularly precious in the Great Daos beyond, but on the Origin Continent, itâs quite rare. Brother Lin can make good use of it."
As he spoke, the Beast Emperor successfully erased Withering and Flourishing Elderâs soul imprint.
The Beast Emperorâs soul level was higher than Withering and Flourishing Elderâs, so erasing his soul imprint wasnât difficult.
Even Lin Moyu could have done it himselfâit just would have taken much longer. It might have taken years to wear it down.
Having the Beast Emperor handle it was naturally better; it only took a few minutes to complete.
With the soul imprint erased, the Spirit Rotation Blessed Land became ownerless again. Lin Moyu quickly left his own soul imprint on it and completed its refinement.
The Beast Emperor said, "Take your time deciding what to plant; thereâs no rush. Letâs keep moving. I remember Withering and Flourishing Elder had something good here that he probably didnât take with him."
The two walked past the Spirit Rotation Blessed Land and deeper into the valley.
The deeper parts of the valley were lavishly arranged. Withering and Flourishing Elder had lived here for countless years and had made his home quite comfortable.
It was clear that apart from Withering and Flourishing Elder himself, there were usually no outsiders here.
Lin Moyu stood in the valley and scanned it thoroughly but found nothing unusual for now.
There were no formations or hidden places; the entire valley was visible at a glance.
The Beast Emperor lightly coughed as a drop of blood flew out from within his misty aura. The Beast Emperorâs blood radiated astonishing power; even space around it warped.
Just this one drop of blood was enough to crush a Dao Venerable below fourth level.
Then the blood began burning fiercely.
Using his blood as fuel, flames erupted high into the sky.
The flames flickered continuously. After several seconds, they suddenly pointed in a specific direction.
The Beast Emperor said, "Found it! Itâs hidden quite well. Fortunately, I have my methods."
Where the flames pointed appeared to be an ordinary mountain wallânothing unusual at first glance.
The Beast Emperor led Lin Moyu over and followed the flameâs guidance to pull at something with his hand.
From the mountain wall, he pulled down an entire piece of bark.
The bark was largeâseveral meters wide and tallâbut it was already withered and lifeless.
It seemed to have some special purpose. After removing the bark, Lin Moyu discovered a cave behind it.
Even his spiritual perception hadnât detected this cave earlier; clearly, this bark was extraordinary.
Lin Moyu examined it carefully and was slightly startled. "Is this Withering and Flourishing Elderâs bark?"
The Beast Emperor said, "To be precise, itâs dead bark left behind after Withering and Flourishing shed his skin."
Lin Moyu asked in confusion, "Withering and Flourishing sheds skin?"
The Beast Emperor nodded, "Withering and Flourishing isnât an ordinary tree. His true form is called the Thousand-Layer Tree. Every ten thousand years, he sheds his skin once."
"Each time he sheds skin, his power increases slightly. After accumulating this process a thousand times, he can advance one realm."
"For example, from ninth-grade innate soul in Great Dao realm to eighth-grade innate soul."
Lin Moyu clicked his tongue in amazement. "Thereâs actually such a tree!"
Shedding skin every ten thousand years to advance once every ten million yearsâif time were sufficientâwouldnât that mean Withering and Flourishing Elder could theoretically improve infinitely?
Combined with Great Dao realm beingsâ immunity to agingâwouldnât that mean Withering and Flourishing Elder had no limits?
The Beast Emperor guessed what Lin Moyu was thinking and laughed heartily. "Of course itâs not that simple! When completing a thousand sheds of skinâhe must undergo a trialâyou can think of it as heavenly punishment. If he passesâhe advances; if notâhe perishes completely."
Indeedâthe Great Dao is fair; everything must remain balanced.
The Beast Emperor tossed the bark to Lin Moyu. "This bark is decent material; Brother Lin should keep it."
Lin Moyu accepted it without hesitationâthe bark was indeed good materialâjudging by its qualityâit was at least eighth-level Dao Venerable grade.
"It seems Withering and Flourishing Elder is truly full of treasures," Lin Moyu joked as he followed the Beast Emperor into the cave.
The Beast Emperor said seriously: "Youâre right! The Thousand-Layer Tree is full of treasures! In factâin realms beyondâthe Thousand-Layer Tree has been hunted by powerful beings who kill them for their sapâto refine pillsâand use other parts for crafting tools."
"So someone like Withering and Flourishing returning to realms beyond wonât necessarily have an easy life; heâll have to tread carefully."
"This guy really is pitifulâpreparing for so many years on the Origin Continent only for everything to end in failure."
Lin Moyu suddenly felt some sympathy for Withering and Flourishing Elderâbeing constantly targeted must be unbearable.
The cave was deep; after several twists and turnsâthey finally reached its end.
After rounding one last cornerâa brilliant light appeared before them along with a faint fragrance filling their senses.
What was strange was that before turning this cornerâthey hadnât noticed anything at allâall light and scent had been completely sealed off until now.
Lin Moyu saw a small poolânot more than one meter acrossâwith a thin layer of transparent liquid inside emitting that faint fragrance.
At its center lay something fist-sized resembling a seedâbut radiating dazzling lightâand within that lightâLin Moyu sensed sharp energy emanating from it.
The Beast Emperor smiled: "I wasnât wrongâit really is a Great Dao Sword Core!"
Lin Moyu asked curiously: "What is a Great Dao Sword Core?"
The Beast Emperor explained: "A Great Dao Sword Core is a treasure nurtured by the Sword Great Dao itselfâa supreme treasure for sword cultivators."
"It has many usesâit can be refined into an unparalleled swordâor used to temper oneâs sword intentâor even enhance oneâs soul level."
"The eighty-one swords suppressing heaven and earth were all made from Great Dao Sword Cores as their fundamental material."
"Ten thousand years agoâwith formationsâWithering and Flourishing Elder pulled something down from beyondâand I suspected then it might be thisâand I wasnât wrong!"
