Chapter 413 Transformation into God!

After Little Azure Dragon finished its breakthrough, Qi Ping led it back to its secluded cultivation place amidst the respectful gazes of everyone.

Now everything in the Nine Realms of the Star Sea is almost on track, and all the major policies and guidelines have been formulated. Now Qi Ping only needs to hand these matters over to his subordinates.

Qi Ping is now the true Lord of the Star Sea. Whatever he commands, the entire Star Sea Continent can move in his favor.

However, there is one exception.

Lin Yue is currently collecting and transporting spirit trees from the entire Star Sea Continent for him. Almost all spirit plants that have reached a certain grade will be transplanted to the Star Sea Continent this time. This task requires a huge amount of manpower, but the Star Sea Nine Regions are not short of people at present.

Some cultivators without special abilities or skills were assigned the time-consuming and laborious task of transplanting spiritual plants after being taught how to identify and transplant them.

Now Qi Ping only needs to wait a little longer, and most of the spiritual plants in the entire Star Sea Continent will gather in the Nine Domains of Star Sea.

Qi Ping was also very much looking forward to it.

Over the years, the Azure Sky Domain has cultivated many spiritual trees with special spiritual qualities for him, and several spiritual trees with the potential to become immortals, similar to the Azure Thunder Bamboo, have been born.

Now that all the spirit trees on the continent of the Star Sea have gathered, there is no doubt that more special spirit trees with the potential to become immortal-level spirit trees will be born. In fact, the number may even exceed that of the many spirit trees that were born in the Azure Sky Domain before.

After all, this is the accumulation of countless years on the Star Sea Continent, and it was personally selected and cultivated by Qi Ping. It is also a spirit wood field with a very low level of development.

The number of "prodigies" they possess far exceeds that of spirit beasts!

Therefore, compared to the Beastmaster Druid, the Treant profession can contract and cultivate a greater number of special geniuses. In terms of combat power, the overall combat strength of the Spirit Tree will inevitably surpass that of Qi Ping's animal companions in the future, because the number of the two is not on the same level.

What Qi Ping regrets is that the Tree Shepherd's ability to cultivate spirit trees was developed too late. These spirit trees have not yet grown up and can only enhance the spirituality of the creatures on the Star Sea Continent in general.

However, this one-in-a-million cultivation standard is something he couldn't achieve before; the threshold is too high.

However, once this threshold is crossed, the growth potential of the Tree Shepherd will far exceed expectations.

Firstly, the number of tree contracts a tree shepherd can have is not as limited as that of animal companions. After all, animal companions can share Qi Ping's talent, and the power rules involved are more complex. The tree shepherd's [Tree Spirit Contract] is much simpler. As long as it is within the range that Qi Ping's soul can bear, there is no limit to the number of contracts.

Moreover, Qi Ping is now an Earth Immortal Druid of the Nine Domains of the Star Sea, a region that gathers the vast majority of living beings and resources of the entire Star Sea Continent. These factors have made Qi Ping's divine soul incredibly powerful, far exceeding the upper limit of a normal cultivator.

As long as Qi Ping's main body does not leave the Nine Domains of the Star Sea, there is no problem that the number of Qi Ping's contracts will far exceed the number of ordinary contracts.

Therefore, Qi Ping's current profession as a tree shepherd allows him to contract with a large number of the most talented spirit trees among the many spirit trees and spirit seeds that have been passed down for countless years in the Star Sea Continent!

These prodigies will be nurtured by tree shepherds who possess special cultivation abilities.

In this way, the upper limit of these spirit trees will be unimaginable.

Once this batch of the most elite spirit trees grows up, their combat power will inevitably reach a level that will shock the world. These spirit trees will also be one of Qi Ping's core forces in protecting his homeland.

It is worth mentioning that Qi Ping has now awakened more than 10,000 trees!
With the support of the cultivation techniques and spells imprinted by Qi Ping, these spiritual trees are growing at a remarkable rate.

Some of them have even begun to take human form.

They contain ginseng essence, locust tree essence, and blood apricot essence.
These innocent little creatures now all live in the Spiritwood Academy, which Qi Ping specially established.

This academy contains many cultivation techniques and knowledge suitable for spirit trees and monsters. Each spirit tree that grows up will also gather its own insights and store them in the academy.

The Aoki Academy is still in its infancy, currently only containing a few tree spirits with simple intelligence.

However, tree spirits that can be born with intelligence and spirituality are rare beings. They are all true geniuses in the spirit wood world, and there are very few of them with low talent.

Therefore, once Qingmu Academy gradually matures, Qi Ping will allow it to gradually emerge into the public eye, enabling this force belonging to the Tree Shepherds to fully grow.

Qi Ping was very optimistic about the potential of Qingmu Academy, believing that many powerful individuals would inevitably emerge from it in the future.

Qi Ping even felt that this force might not be inferior to the Azure God Army in the future.

It will also inevitably become one of the important forces that allow him to open up the path to all the heavens and myriad worlds.

After surviving the tribulation, the azure dragon Xiaoqing had transformed into a small azure dragon about the size of an arm, resembling a dazzling jade snake.

However, its fierce four claws and majestic dragon head and horns are features that the small snake does not possess.

At this moment, Xiaoqing was wrapped around Qi Ping's arm and shoulder like a little snake, acting very intimately, and occasionally rubbing against Qi Ping's cheek.

"Master!" Xiao Qing said in a childish voice.

"Hmm, your name is Xiaoqing. Who gave you this name? Did you give it to yourself?"

Qi Ping gently stroked Xiao Qing's body, which was covered with dragon scales, and it felt quite nice to the touch.

"No, Master, this is the name my mother gave me!"

"Mother? Have you ever seen your mother?" Qi Ping was taken aback when he heard this.

"No, Xiaoqing only felt her mother's presence and voice while inside the egg."

"You developed consciousness while your mother was still alive? Do you know anything about your mother?"

Qi Ping was surprised that this little green dragon had communicated with the adult Four Symbols Divine Beasts from countless years ago. This made him slightly excited. Could he finally learn some truths from ancient times?
But Xiao Qinglong's next words disappointed him.

"I don't know, Master. Xiaoqing has only just gained consciousness. Her mother hasn't even spoken to me for a few days before she suddenly told Xiaoqing that she and her father were going to a very far place, and then told Xiaoqing to get a good night's sleep."

"They say that after Xiaoqing wakes up, she'll meet a very kind human—that's you, Master! Hehe."

"They also told me to stay close to my master, and that when I grow up, I'll know where they are!"

"Master, Mother said Father is a towering azure dragon, a very powerful and reliable family member, but I've never sensed Father's presence or heard his voice." "Master, when will Little Azure grow up? I miss Mother and Father a little."

The little green dragon kept chattering away, without showing any particular emotion. Instead, it wrapped itself around Qi Ping and curiously looked at everything around it.

A single flower or a stone excites and intrigues it.

But Qi Ping suddenly became speechless, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond to the newborn little guy.

Given the passage of so much time, it's highly likely that Little Azure Dragon's mother is dead, and likely died as a sacrifice, otherwise Little Azure Dragon's life would hardly have continued to this day.

And Xiao Qinglong's father probably didn't have a good ending either, otherwise how could he sit idly by and watch his wife sacrifice her own child?
So the claim that the little dragon will be able to see its father and mother when it grows up is most likely a lie. After all, who would want their child to suffer the pain of losing both parents at birth?
Perhaps the best outcome is that the little green dragon's parents left him with a legacy of memories that would answer all his questions, which would only appear when he came of age.
"The hearts of parents are always full of love and worry!"

"Sigh, let's keep it a secret for now. Let Xiao Qinglong make some friends and companions. With these bonds, he might feel better when he grows up."

After figuring out the solution, Qi Ping decided to help his parents, and so he responded as follows:

"It takes quite a while for your Azure Dragon clan to reach adulthood; it's not an easy thing to become an adult!"

"Then how can we speed it up?" Little Green Dragon hurriedly asked.

"Yes, you need to work hard in your cultivation and training, and eat properly. Your inherited memories should contain suitable cultivation techniques for you to refine your body, right?"

"Yes, Master!"

"Then tell me about it."

In the following time, Qi Ping used his treant clone to carefully communicate with the little green dragon about the information of its inherited knowledge. Based on this information, combined with the spirit beast breeding methods he had studied over the years, he formulated a plan for the little green dragon to quickly reach adulthood.

After playing for a while, the little green dragon also quickly began to cultivate according to the plan, and its terrifying momentum was extremely frightening.

The terrifying talents of the Four Divine Beasts were also revealed at this moment, possessing power comparable to that of a Void Refinement cultivator even in their infancy.

In addition, Qi Ping also discovered during the conversation that Xiao Qinglong's destiny power had been multiplied by two layers.

This basically confirms that the little green dragon indeed carries the destiny of its mother.

However, Qi Ping is currently unable to determine what kind of destiny this is, as he knows far too little about it.

The only certainty is that, under the influence of the Little Azure Dragon's destiny, the Nine Realms of the Star Sea have gained a special aura of rising sun in the east.

This truly astonished Qi Ping; a mere strand of destiny power was enough to have such an impact on the fortune of a world!

"This power of destiny seems to be even more mysterious and powerful than expected. It's just a pity that my knowledge is too limited to explore its true secrets."

Qi Ping was somewhat helpless about this. The power of destiny is related to the true source power of all the heavens and myriad realms, and is also related to becoming an immortal. How could such power be easily known?
It's not surprising that he could only glimpse the tip of the iceberg.

"It seems that to obtain truly useful information and secrets, we still need to establish communication channels with other worlds."

Time passed quickly while Qi Ping was fully engaged in cultivation.

The Nine Realms of the Star Sea have also entered a state of extreme tension and busyness. Unless something special happens, like Qi Ping's awakening of his physique, nothing else will affect their breakthroughs and busy schedules.

Everyone knows that now is not the time to be lazy.

After a period of cultivation, Qi Ping's awakened Five-Colored Immortal Body's power was fully revealed.

This special physique, formed by combining five top-tier Five Elements constitutions, allows for cultivation at an astonishingly rapid pace. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and all things in the Five Elements, seem to be close friends of this "Five-Colored Immortal Body," as if everything in the entire world is assisting Qi Ping's cultivation.

Under such circumstances, although Qi Ping's physique and cultivation techniques both require terrifying spiritual energy to hone their foundation, it still cannot slow down Qi Ping's cultivation speed, especially since Qi Ping is still in the core position of the Seven-Colored Ancestral Vein.

Almost all the spiritual veins of the entire Star Sea Nine Domains converged on Qi Ping's body through the super-large earth vein created by the earth vein ants underground.

Under this force, Qi Ping quickly broke through from the mid-Nascent Soul stage to the late-Nascent Soul stage, and then from the late-Nascent Soul stage to the perfect Nascent Soul stage.

Even the Nascent Soul stage didn't hold Qi Ping back for too long.

Only a short time had passed since the little green dragon hatched and broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, and Qi Ping's shackles at the Nascent Soul stage were quickly broken!
This constraint, which has stumped countless people, only warranted Qi Ping's brief pause. The reason for this pause was primarily to reflect on whether his foundation had reached a state of perfection.

After confirming that there were no problems, Qi Ping broke through the Nascent Soul limit and directly broke through to the Deity Transformation realm.

After breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage, Qi Ping's foundation underwent a frenzied transformation, with his entire body and soul undergoing divine transformation, gradually shedding his mortal form.

Once you reach the level of Divine Transformation, you become a true god.

Because of Qi Ping's incredibly deep foundation, the tribulation brought about by his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage was also extremely terrifying. It could be said to be the most terrifying tribulation recorded in the history of the Star Sea Continent, apart from the tribulation of the Little Azure Dragon.

The tribulation of the Little Azure Dragon involved a power that did not belong to the Star Sea Continent, attracting a special power that even Qi Ping might not be able to withstand. Therefore, if we include the Little Azure Dragon, the intensity of Qi Ping's tribulation can only be ranked second.

However, Qi Ping was not dissatisfied with this. He was certain that his foundation had reached an unparalleled level of perfection, and he had already made sufficient progress on the path of immortality.

Moreover, his ultimate goal is simply to thoroughly understand the spiritual energy cultivation system; he doesn't envy those special powers that he currently cannot research or control.

However, compared to the little green dragon's miserable state, Qi Ping had a much easier time in the tribulation. The lightning tribulation that seemed capable of destroying the world was absorbed by Qi Ping as easily as eating and drinking.

The power at the Nascent Soul stage in the Qi Refining path is really insufficient compared to the power I currently control.

After officially breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, Qi Ping's strength increased significantly, but not as dramatically as one might have imagined. To put it simply, this breakthrough only made his mana bar longer and of higher quality.

His true limit of combat power still comes from the Dao of Heaven and Earth and the power brought by the Earth Immortal Druid. However, this breakthrough has also made Qi Ping's Dao of Heaven and Earth more perfect, since the foundation of this derived law is still Qi Refining and Immortal Cultivation.

Besides these, what made Qi Ping happiest was that his lifespan had increased by a huge margin due to this breakthrough!

Having fully entered the Nascent Soul stage, Qi Ping also gained a deeper understanding of the cultivation power system and the rules for lifespan growth. For Qi Ping, this was the most essential thing.
