Druid in the Xianxia world

Chapter 110 The Second Stage of the Cycle of Four Seasons - Midsummer!
Zhong Cang's understanding of the law of time was still somewhat shallow after all. The ancient tree with annual rings only opened the door to the law of time for Zhong Cang, instead of allowing him to control the law of time and become the master of one path. Therefore, the combination of his Yiliu Tree and the ability of time only stopped here for the time being.

The combination of flowing wind and the power of time is quite good.

"In my current understanding, wind, besides being a natural element, also represents the concept of flow."

"Similarly, my understanding of time is also very superficial. Currently, I only know from the scientific knowledge I gained in my previous life that time is the eternal movement of matter, the continuity of change, and the manifestation of sequence... and that people's perception of time is relative..."

Zhong Cang was not a brilliant scientist in his previous life, and his understanding of time was even more superficial. Not to mention, the world is different, the laws are different, and the manifestation of time is also different. This means that the knowledge Zhong Cang understood in his previous life is not necessarily universal in this world.

However, despite all the problems, Zhong Cang did have some understanding of the power of time. He had a dual understanding from the ancient tree rings and the knowledge from his previous life.

Even though this understanding is shallow, it exceeds that of 99% of the humans in this world, and even more than 99% of the cultivators.

Relying on his own understanding, Zhong Cang managed to combine the power of time with the power of flowing wind.

"Wind is fluid, representing change. Time is also fluid, representing change... Because the two have many things in common, the mystery of time can be integrated into the power of wind..."

This fusion allowed Zhong Cang to gain several more innate spells, namely the Wind of Acceleration, the Wind of Slowness, and the Wind of Decadence (Aging)!

There is nothing much to say about the accelerated wind. It uses the wind as a medium to integrate the power of time into the wind. By directing this wind towards himself, Zhong Cang can accelerate his body speed, spell speed, and even thinking several times.

The Wind of Slowness is the opposite. It can slow down the enemy, making them feel like they are stuck in a quagmire. And because Zhong Cang also controls the power of thoughts and memories (the essence of the Memory Tree), Zhong Cang's Wind of Slowness can not only slow down the enemy's body, but also slow down their thinking speed, making them unaware that their speed has slowed down.

As for the Wind of Decadence and Aging, Zhong Cang can not only blow away the enemy's mana, physical strength, or other beneficial enhancements, but also blow away the enemy's time, or in other words, lifespan.

"What a pity! My magic power is too weak now, and my time power is insufficient. Even if I blow with all my strength, I can only blow away the enemy's lifespan for a few days, or even a few hours..."

Thinking of this, Zhong Cang attached great importance to this spell.

A few days of time does not really have much impact on a monk with a long lifespan, but what he can blow is not only the monk's lifespan, but also the duration of the spell.

"Hehe, those who are my enemies, I hope your spells can last longer..."

……

By fusing the ancient tree with its annual rings and gaining the power of time, Zhong Cang was generally satisfied with this transformation.

Although, he did not obtain the ability to die in his place that he wanted most, but:
"This isn't the end. I still have one more chance... My cycle of birth, death, and rebirth is about to begin. This first reincarnation will definitely be a qualitative change for me. With luck, I can transform the power of time and gain the ability I desire most."

Thinking of this, Zhong Cang became more motivated for the next training.

At the same time, Zhong Cang, who was devoted to his hard training, also gained some peaceful time.

During this period, he didn't even leave Huangni Village and Miyuan. Most of the time, Mo Shuyu, Gu Yan, Luo Bende, and Du Kui came to Miyuan to teach him.

With everyone's full support and the blessing of the lingering sound of Taoism, Zhong Cang's strength is also rising steadily.

In just ten days, his spirit seed tree grew several meters higher and reached a height of 40 meters.

Well... the higher you go, the harder it is for the spirit seed tree to grow.

After comprehending the profound meaning of wind and completing the elements of earth, wind, water and fire, Zhong Cang only broke through the limit of the first heaven, allowing his spirit tree to grow to 36 meters.

Transforming into an ancient tree with annual rings allowed Zhong Cang's spiritual tree to climb another 3 meters.

36+3 is 39, and the last meter is provided by the Druid.

After more than ten days of practice and the busy work of his followers, Zhong Cang's druid level was raised again to level 7.

"Unfortunately, level seven is a transitional level for druids. Apart from an extra fourth-ring spell slot, there are no other professional skills." Although the increase is a bit small, fortunately, he is not far from level ten. Level ten is the stage where druids undergo a qualitative change from intermediate druids to advanced druids. At this level, they can still obtain some good things.

……

The spiritual tree reached a height of forty meters and had lush branches and leaves. This made it look like a small mountain in Zhong Cang's sea of ​​consciousness, tall and majestic.

“But this has reached its limit.”

Realizing this, Zhong Cang did not hesitate at all and immediately entered the second stage of the Four Seasons Cycle of Time - Midsummer!
"Buzz!"

As Zhong Cang's order was issued, in an instant, the power accumulated in the spirit seed tree body began to burn fiercely like gasoline touched by sparks.

"boom!"

The intense burning turned Zhong Cang's spirit tree into a tree of light, a tree blooming with endless flames of light.

Behind this flaming tree, there are flowers blooming brilliantly.

At the same time, the flames blooming from the spirit tree were like the sun, illuminating Zhong Cang's sea of ​​consciousness and causing the boundaries of his sea of ​​consciousness to suddenly expand outward.

"Rumble..."

Soon, the boundaries of Zhong Cang's sea of ​​consciousness expanded more than three times.

When the gray fog edge dissipated due to the flaming tree, an innate magic spell also emerged in Zhong Cang's mind.

"Midsummer, or Bloom, is a spell similar to Growth. Its effect is to burn my own mana, instantly increasing the power of my spells by thirty-three times!"

Yes, you read that right, it means increasing the power of spells by thirty-three times, the limit of the first level.

This is an extremely exaggerated spell power, which allows Zhong Cang to exert the power of the first level of Dao foundation at the stage of nurturing the spirit seed.

If the spell itself is powerful, this attack will not be weak even among the Taoist base.

Of course, everything has a price. Zhong Cang's magic is so powerful that the corresponding mana consumption is also exaggerated and terrifying.

The blooming of midsummer only lasts for a short moment, and a spell will drain all the magic power in Zhong Cang's body.

"..."

The power and effect of such a spell left Zhong Cang speechless, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhong Cang felt that it was normal for him to be able to comprehend such a spell.

Most of his insights into midsummer come from the Epiphyllum.

The night-blooming cereus blooms only once a year, for only one night at a time. This extreme blooming makes Zhong Cang realize that the midsummer is also somewhat extreme.

His meaning of midsummer is that it lies dormant and accumulates for a year, but blooms for only a moment.

"There are mayflies in the world that live in the morning and die in the evening. They lie dormant for three years, but only have 24 hours to survive. My blooming is similar to them."

"boom!"

After Zhong Cang comprehended the innate spell [Blooming in Midsummer], the flame tree in his sea of ​​consciousness burned even more brilliantly. Without hesitation, when the spirit tree was burning most fiercely, Zhong Cang - died.
