Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 169 Don't make things so difficult for me!
"Brother Ming!"

Yali was awakened by the noise outside and sat up in bed.

"What happened?"

She asked softly, her tone tinged with worry.

Because of the absorption by the Golden Ancient Tree, the spiritual energy of the entire Seagod Island has become somewhat thinner.

"It's not clear yet."

Yun Ming shook his head, suppressing the strange feeling in his heart.

"You should rest first! I'll go check on things!"

The ancient golden tree was simply absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, without doing anything else; perhaps it was just a coincidence?
After Yun Ming finished speaking, he vanished from the room in a flash.

"Brother Ming, wait for me!"

Yali thought for a moment, then got out of bed and followed him, still feeling uneasy.

She remembered that little Jiang Yi was still inside the Golden Ancient Tree.

……

In the center of Poseidon Island, a towering golden tree stands, its drooping golden branches spreading out like a canopy.

At this moment, a surging vortex of spiritual energy is gathering above the tree canopy, and the rich energy of heaven and earth is condensing into tangible clouds and mist, which are being continuously absorbed by the ancient tree.

"How is this going?"

An aged figure appeared first, her sharp gaze fixed on the ancient golden tree ahead.

Then, Long Yeyue took a step forward, her body merging directly into the trunk of the golden ancient tree.

Many of Shrek's facilities are built around the Golden Tree, such as the library, treasure vault, etc., which are small spaces carved out of the tree trunk.

Following the flow of energy from the ancient golden tree, Long Yeyue's figure quickly appeared in a grand hall.

The moment Long Yeyue entered the main hall, she was stunned by what she saw.

Before them stretched a vast golden ocean, its surging life energy nearly engulfing the entire hall.

In the center of this golden ocean, there is a vortex, within which a golden cocoon of light floats and sinks, with a massive amount of life energy continuously flowing into it, as if it is nurturing something.

How could there be such abundant life energy?

Long Yeyue took a deep breath, and a rich life force surged into her body, like sweet rain, nourishing her almost withered life essence.

"Could this be the Sea God's ancestral favor upon me...?"

A fiery glint flashed in Long Yeyue's eyes; just this one bite had nearly extended her lifespan by three years!

But before her was a vast golden ocean. If she could absorb it all, even if the effects gradually weakened, she might still be able to live a second life and regain her youth.

She wasn't afraid of death; she just wanted to protect Shrek...

As Long Yeyue pondered this, she felt a sense of boundless freedom in her heart; this must be the will of the Sea God.

As for that cocoon of light... what about it?

Shrek Academy has guarded the Golden Tree for tens of thousands of years, and the soul of each generation's leader has almost merged into it. It's only natural that they would give back a little.

However, just as she was about to step forward, two figures suddenly appeared in the hall, causing her to stop in her tracks.

The visitors were a man and a woman, Yun Ming and Ya Li.

"Sister Yue!"

When Yunming and the other man saw Long Yeyue, they went up to greet her.

"Ok!"

Long Yeyue nodded slightly, but her gaze remained fixed on the golden ocean below, a hint of regret in her heart.

She actually missed this opportunity...

"How can so much life energy be gathered here..."

When Yun Ming saw the golden sea below, he frowned slightly, but did not show the same greedy look as Long Yeyue.

He was already in his prime, and he shared life force with Yali, so he was not lacking in life essence for the time being.

This enormous life energy did not appear out of thin air, but rather was the accumulated reserves of the ancient golden tree over tens of thousands of years.

To gather this golden ocean, perhaps half of the golden ancient tree's accumulation over tens of thousands of years is here.

“This is that little guy Jiang Yi…” Ya Li suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed softly, her gaze falling on the cocoon of light in the center of the golden ocean.

Yun Ming and Long Yeyue both looked at her at the same time.

"Jiang Yi?"

……

Inside the cocoon of light, Jiang Yi's eyes were tightly closed, and a green light on his chest flickered like breathing, inhaling and exhaling the life force surging in from the outside world.

"Seeds of Nature!"

Jiang Yi looked inward and saw a green light spot floating in his middle dantian, which made him feel a little strange.

Why did this ancient golden tree give itself the Seed of Nature?
You mustn't make things difficult for me!

The Children of Nature are the chosen maintainers of nature, and can be said to be no different from the Chosen Ones of Planes, or even better.

The problem is, he can't explain this to the Abyss and the Holy Spirit Cult...

What do you mean I became a Child of Nature after going undercover?
This isn't a matter of trust... but rather, what the Ghost Emperor should be worried about is whether he'll switch sides.

However, since it had already been delivered, he couldn't possibly refuse it. Fortunately, he had previously cooperated with the Ghost Emperor to fight against Shrek Academy, proving his loyalty.

"Ok?"

Just as Jiang Yi was pondering, a sudden change occurred within his body.

The Silver Dragon King's bloodline, which had been quietly absorbing life force, suddenly seemed to sense something and became active.

A surge of powerful energy suddenly rushed towards the Seed of Nature in the center of the dantian, quietly swirling around the green light and transforming into a vortex.

As the Qi and blood vortex circulates, the life force emanating from the Seed of Nature quietly merges into the Qi and blood, dyeing it with a layer of shimmering green.

At the same time, in the outer hall, the golden ocean disappeared at a visible speed, rapidly flowing into Jiang Yi's body.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yi absorbed the last wisp of golden energy into his body.

"call--"

Jiang Yi opened his eyes, a glint of divine light flashing within them, and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

He clenched his fist, feeling a surge of power coursing through his body, a kind of omnipotent illusion.

This time, he actually managed to condense a vortex of qi and blood, taking a significant step forward in the transformation of the Silver Dragon King's bloodline.

However, the vortex of my blood and qi is green. I wonder if it is affected by the Seed of Nature?

At this moment, within his body, in his dantian, a turquoise vortex of qi and blood was slowly rotating.

At the center of that green vortex of qi and blood, a green seed floats.

The seeds of nature shimmered rhythmically, as if breathing, and a tender sprout had already begun to emerge from the tip of the seed.

The life force and the power of blood and qi complement each other, achieving a mysterious fusion.

"Never mind... it shouldn't be a bad thing anyway!"

Jiang Yi shook his head and didn't delve into it further.

It's not surprising that the Silver Dragon King's bloodline originates from creation and resonates with the Seed of Nature.

"My body feels a bit bloated."

Jiang Yi shrugged, feeling a bit too much energy in his body.

Although most of that life energy was absorbed by the Seed of Nature, his body also absorbed a considerable amount.

wow-

Just then, the golden cocoon that enveloped him suddenly turned into specks of golden light and dissipated, and his body fell toward the ground.

A flash of silver light appeared in Jiang Yi's eyes, causing the space to ripple. It was as if he was walking on invisible steps, landing calmly on the ground.

After condensing the colorless soul core, he finally mastered the spatial element that he had been longing for.

Or rather, Jiang Yi could easily simulate all the elemental changes in the world, once he had witnessed them, by relying on the characteristics of the Chaos Soul Core.

However, just as he regained his footing, a cold laugh rolled down from above the main hall.

"Jiang Yi, do you know your crime?!"
