Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 291 The Seedling of Jianmu?
"This is?"

Shi Ming's mind raced.

He instantly recalled the knowledge he had gained from the divine revelation stele of the twelve stars:
The fruit of the Jianmu tree has the ability to travel through time.

The Creation Pillar evolved from the Jianmu tree by merging with the "Origin of the Temple of Life." Could this peculiar seedling, bearing sharp mango fruits, be a seedling of the Jianmu tree? Could the hexagonal fruit on it be the "fruit of the Jianmu tree" mentioned on the Divine Revelation Stele?
His thoughts wandered, conjuring up a grand scene in his mind:
[The Creation Pillar, due to an accident, was invaded by a terrifying force, its interior corroded and it died, its body becoming a breeding ground for enemies. But as it was about to perish, it threw its seed out of its body, and on the summit of Mount Everest, it returned to its original state, growing anew into a primordial Jianmu seedling?]

If that's the case, if we could dig it out completely...

Wouldn't that mean we've obtained a seedling of one of the five rare trees?
What a great opportunity!

Shi Ming's eyes lit up.

In his warehouse, there is also a round moon pearl found in the Scorpion King's Pyramid. Its effects are most suitable for the growth of plant life. The only thing to consider is where to plant this seedling, but this is not an insurmountable problem.

After all, although it is much taller than the snow-capped peak, it is still only half a meter high.

The seedlings were buried several meters deep by the blizzard, growing on the frozen soil covered by ice and snow. Although the plants were still small, they were quite robust. They also contained the vitality of snow-capped peaks, with their lush green leaves under the ice and snow so dense that they seemed to drip with water.

Before digging, to prevent damage to the seedling from improper handling, Shi Ming specifically asked A Jian a question:
"Ah Jian, have you ever seen similar plant seedlings? Do you know what kind of organism it is? If you want to dig it up and transplant it, what precautions should you take?"

Ah Jian rolled her eyes around, her wings fluttering.

It indexes past memories.

A few minutes later.

"No, Master. But my spiritual power can sense that its plant instincts repel and fear this environment, but it is limited by its plant body and cannot move. It can only shallowly root itself in this place, the biggest leak point, and rely on the energy fluctuations caused by the secondary blade storm at the peak and the cover of ice and snow to hide its form."

"It is very resilient and can be transplanted."

That's good.

In the following period, the division of labor was clear.

Just like last time, A-Jian's spiritual power once again explored downwards along the roots of this mysterious seedling, searching for the remains of the Creation Pillar deep within Mount Everest. Shi Ming also carefully dug here. The seedling, which was several meters deep from the surface, did not require too much effort to obtain intact.

He needed to collect enough remains of the Holy Temple before the assembly, and also take the seedling away from Mount Everest.

Once we return to the Great Yun, we can use the Eye of the Mortal World to obtain all its information. If it is indeed a sapling of the Jianmu tree, and if it is properly cultivated, its value may be comparable to that of the Bodhi tree that can continuously produce "purification essence".

Call ~
The swirling snowstorm transformed Shi Ming into a snowman, but he paid no heed to these details. He carefully explored the snow beneath the ice and snow with his sword, King Slayer. The snow pit, a few meters deep, was merely a tiny, insignificant mark on this massive snow mountain.

A blizzard can erase all traces.

At the same time, he also reserved half of his mental energy to guard against possible attacks from the secondary blade.

Finally, the lush green plant was fully revealed before his eyes. He continued to dig with the King Slayer, cutting out the roots from the frozen soil beneath the plant, and put the seedling and the fruit on it into the warehouse.

A rich sense of life washes over you.

The frozen soil layer beneath the seedlings is teeming with life force. According to Ah Jian, this is the location of the crown of the Creation Pillar Tree, and also the biggest leak point after the collapsed pillar tree died in the mountainside.

After putting away the seedling, Ah Jian's [Mental Reorganization] also yielded its first harvest.

A section of stubble, withered on the outside but still green on the inside, was removed and floated in the air, enveloped in spiritual energy. This section was about 10 inches long and weighed about 700-800 grams. Shi Ming's right arm, adorned with crimson markings, became even more excited. He estimated that if he obtained another section of similar size, he could allow the crimson markings on his right arm to absorb the power of the Holy Temple and evolve his physical skills once more. At the same time, the blood after absorbing the power could be reused as one of the materials for breaking through the boundaries of the Endless Sea Map.

I wonder what the effects will be when the Arm of Power evolves to the second stage?
…… ……

……

The King-class drifting ship, Yu the Great.

Jiuzhoutai.

Old Zhou, dressed in a Tang suit, is Zhou Jinhuai, who is also the one who launched the voyage of Yu the Great and the chairman of the Jiuzhoutai Committee. He sits quietly in his chair, stroking a golden toad in his hand.

This golden toad is the "Destiny-Fixing Golden Toad," which can only be used in the Sea of ​​Soaring Dragons.

The Fortune-Calming Toad does not appear in the middle and lower parts of the current translation of "A Glimpse of Wonders of the Endless Ocean" by Xi Rang. Old Zhou does not know its exact ranking. Even the name was given by himself, but it should be ranked very high.

Destiny.

What kind of fate is being determined?

It can influence the major events of the time and the fate of the nation.

"Luck" is just a name.

Old Zhou understood very well that there was no mysterious fortune in the world, only fleeting opportunities that depended on human effort. One part depended on heaven, and nine parts depended on human effort. If one was not strong enough and could not plan and strive for it, no matter how much nature blessed one, it would still be a calamity.

Just like the purple aura "Moonlight Beast," it is also very close to General Jin's [Sunrise].

But would they dare to make plans?

They dare not.

If you're not strong enough, going there is just suicide.

Old Zhou activated his awakened power, and the power of blending with the world seeped into the Fortune-Fixing Toad, causing the four purple and two golden star points inside the Fortune-Fixing Toad to shine brightly.

Then, to his surprise, his fortunes changed.

New changes have finally occurred:

The golden star symbolizing the blurry figure has become much clearer, but the face is still unrecognizable! The golden star symbolizing the collapsing pillar of heaven is collapsing even more severely, with fragments of gold falling slowly like stardust.

"Is my fortune changing?"

"Golden fortune meets golden fortune; is an opportunity emerging?"

Not afraid of ripples.

What I fear most is a stagnant pool.

Stagnant water may represent temporary stability, but the current situation makes it impossible for them to cling to the past and remain content with their current situation. This is the consensus of the six leaders who set sail!

His consciousness exited the Fortune-Fixing Toad.

If Elder Zhou possessed the same spiritual power as Shi Ming, he would also discover that the gold of the blurry figure became even more dazzling and vigorous, like a true morning star, while the gold of the collapsing pillar showed signs of mutation, with red marks slowly emerging within it.
