Chapter 43: The Origin of Aoki
"Cut down all these willow trees!" Tang Yuan suddenly said to the people around him after watching Yang Jiuli disappear from sight.
"Yes!" Tang Xiao nodded, and with a few people, he flashed towards a few willow trees.
Qin Shisan and Yang Xuan also looked at the nearby willow trees.
At that moment, they also signaled for someone to cut down the willow trees by the spirit pool.
The unexpected attack by the willow tree spirit earlier had plunged all three families into an illusion.
If it weren't for Yang Jiuli's intervention, they would most likely have perished.
Upon seeing that the willow tree spirit could burrow underground and was almost impossible for mortals to kill, they felt a wave of fear wash over them.
How can such an anomaly be allowed to exist in this mortal world?
Therefore, they did not hesitate and decided to cut down all the willow trees.
To prevent them from becoming sentient beings and turning this "Black Abyss" into a forbidden place for mortals.
Yang Jiuli rushed off in the direction of the underground palace.
"The aura emanating from this dried corpse is even stronger than that of a Nascent Soul ancestor... In life, it must have been a great cultivator at the Deity Transformation level or above!"
"There may be a great treasure in the jade box he is holding in his hands."
As Yang Jiuli sped forward, his thoughts were in turmoil.
At this moment, he was in his sea of consciousness.
The Three Lives Stone trembled and shone with dazzling light.
It seemed that the dried corpse possessed a treasure that captivated it.
Yang Jiuli was reborn several times.
In his previous life, he was a great cultivator at the late stage of Core Formation, and had visited the ancient cave dwelling left by a Nascent Soul expert.
They've seen a lot of the world.
Even so, in that lifetime, none of the treasures he had seen had ever made the Three Lives Stone so eager to acquire them.
So Yang Jiuli hesitated for a moment before deciding to head to the underground palace.
Perhaps the treasures there can change his life, allowing him to break free from the shackles of his previous life and hopefully condense his nascent soul.
A short while later, Yang Jiuli arrived at a mountain hollow.
Below is the underground palace.
At this moment, in the underground palace, 'Li Chun' used the Earth Escape Technique to disappear into the ground.
He then led Yang Jiuli into the palace below and they entered the palace together.
At this moment, 'Li Chun' had already annihilated the willow tree spirit's soul.
Yang Jiuli cautiously entered the palace, his gaze sweeping over the floor of the main hall.
The ground is paved with jade bricks.
It is engraved with restrictive runes.
Just now, the willow tree spirit activated the restrictions within it and attacked 'Li Chun'.
However, through Soul Capture, Yang Jiuli had already figured out the layout of the restrictions in the main hall.
This was naturally because the willow tree spirit had personally tested the route with its roots and puppets after discovering this ancient site.
After numerous failures, the willow tree spirit gained a thorough understanding of the restrictions placed upon this great hall.
That's why it chose to come here.
The willow tree spirit also considered taking the jade box held in the palm of the ancient corpse.
Unfortunately, the 'fierce demon' it sent out was annihilated into dust by the restrictive power in front of the throne as soon as it approached it.
Just as Yang Jiuli was pondering what method to use to break the restriction, the Three Lives Stone flew out directly from between his eyebrows.
The Three Lives Stone hangs in the air, and wisps of the aura of the Three Lives spread out, directly swirling towards the throne in front of it.
"This is..." Yang Jiuli's gaze sharpened. It was the first time he had seen the Three Lives Stone fly out of his sea of consciousness on its own initiative, which surprised him.
Under the influence of the Three Lives Qi, the restrictive light patterns in front of the throne appeared.
After the restrictive patterns appeared, they did not have time to manifest as a restrictive attack before being erased by the Three Lives Qi.
The restriction vanished instantly.
"The Three Lives Stone took the initiative to intervene..." Yang Jiuli's heart was stirred with a slight ripple.
Even when he was ambushed by his senior brother in his previous life, the Three Lives Stone did not intervene.
At this moment, however, he was making a move for the ancient relic before him, which made him restless and filled him with anticipation for what he had just acquired.
A wisp of the Three Lives Qi wrapped around the jade box and pulled it to Yang Jiuli's front.
The dust on the jade box has been brushed away.
A delicate and antique box was revealed.
There was originally a seal inside, but due to the passage of time, the spiritual energy has disappeared.
Now it has been dissolved by the energy of the three lives.
Yang Jiuli carefully opened the jade box.
When the jade box was opened, a rich green spiritual energy immediately wafted out.
This pervasive spiritual energy caused flowers and plants to immediately flourish in the underground palace.
Yang Jiuli felt refreshed and invigorated after just one breath, and it seemed as if his lifespan had increased by a few years.
"This is the essence of wood!" Yang Jiuli's mind stirred. When he was in the late stage of Core Formation, he found a 'Wood Source Pill' that extended his lifespan by twenty years, so he had a deep understanding of the essence of green wood. However, compared to the wood source energy he was absorbing now, the essence of green wood contained in that 'Wood Source Pill' was many times thinner.
The two are not comparable!
This made Yang Jiuli wonder if he had bought counterfeit or substandard products back then.
Yang Jiuli stared intently.
But a wisp of emerald green wood-based energy was seen floating inside the jade box.
There was even a small sapling in the source of wood energy.
The so-called "vital energy of wood" is the original, primordial energy of the spirit of wood, which is rarely seen even once in a thousand years.
"Has this given birth to the Azure Wood Immortal Sprout?" Yang Jiu murmured, remaining calm and composed despite having lived several lifetimes.
At this moment, ripples also stirred in my heart.
The primordial energy gives birth to immortal seedlings, or immortal gold...
Obtaining it can change a person's spiritual roots, causing them to transform and elevate their status.
These are things I've only ever heard of in legends.
In the past, there were very few people in the entire cultivation world who had seen it.
But now a plant has appeared in front of him.
This really feels like a corporate slave being hit by a huge lottery prize.
Just as Yang Jiuli was surprised, the Three Lives Stone transformed into a vortex, directly absorbing the ball of wood source energy.
The Three Lives Stone also flew into Yang Jiuli's brow and soul sea.
Yang Jiuli's mind immediately followed and sank into his sea of consciousness.
At this moment, the rich wood element energy permeated Yang Jiuli's sea of consciousness, nourishing his soul.
His mental strength rapidly increased, recovering directly from (36/100) to (100/100).
After the Three Lives Stone refined the Wood Source Qi, a sapling flew out from it, passed through Yang Jiuli's body from his sea of consciousness, and entered his spiritual root. Accompanying it was the purified Wood Source Qi. Nourished by this Wood Source Qi, Yang Jiuli's spiritual root recovered rapidly.
Superior spiritual root:
Under repair (100/10000)
Under repair (300/10000)
Under repair (1000/10000)
Watching his spiritual root rapidly repair itself, Yang Jiuli was filled with excitement, his mind fixed on the fluctuating numerical values.
Under repair (5000/10000)
At this point, the data will no longer change.
Beside the Three Lives Stone, another row of data appeared.
