Chapter 429 Cai Ling's Gift: The World Tree "World Seed" - Bloodline Change (Please Subscribe)

"Cailing, when did you get back?"

Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and exclaimed in surprise.

Cai Ling jumped off the blue stone and waited for Zhu Yu to fly close. Without saying a word, she opened her mouth slightly, and a ball of emerald light flew out from it.

The moment it appeared.

A powerful and terrifying wave of life force rippled outwards.

Under Zhu Yu's astonished gaze, the surrounding weeds seemed to have taken a super tonic, growing wildly, and even the withered banyan tree regained its vitality, sprouting branches and growing tender leaves.

Further away.

The spiritual seeds "Southern Jujube", "Soapberry", and "Silver Acacia", which originally took several more days to mature, ripened instantly, emitting an enticing fragrance.

The fruits hanging on the top-tier spiritual seeds, "Sea Siren Ulva," "Golden Peach," and "Fire Date," visibly plumped up, growing in just a few breaths what would take several months to mature.

In other words, the "blood source" and "flesh-gathering grass" with special requirements, as well as the "one-leaf lotus" which has just ripened, have not changed much, but their growth is obviously more vigorous.

"hiss--"

Looking around at the surrounding vegetation, Zhu Yu's eyes were filled with undisguised shock. His gaze fell upon the withered seed, its light restrained yet exuding an ancient life force, and he stammered, "What is this thing?!"

Cai Ling was clearly pleased with his shocked expression, and with her head slightly raised, she let out a slightly high-pitched voice.

"It is a 'world species'."

"This is the 'World Seed'!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu was startled for a moment, then came to her senses, her eyes shining.

Cai Ling nodded proudly and said, "It is a 'World Seed' nurtured from a World Tree seed that has lost its vitality."

As she spoke, she raised her wings and gently pushed it in front of Zhu Yu.

"Use the giant peak to break through the Mountain Lord's barrier and nurture the 'Life Realm'."

Zhu Yu was even more shocked. According to his original memories, the "World Tree" was a legendary mythical species, and in some worlds, it was even comparable to a god.

Even if its seeds are dead, they still belong to the third tier, or even the fourth tier of spiritual objects.

The "world seeds" they nurture are likely top-tier "world seeds" with special effects.

Even the ten major tribes might not have such a "world species".

Such a precious thing was so lightly pushed in front of him by Cai Ling. Zhu Yu was so excited that he couldn't control himself and subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab it.

He suddenly stopped halfway through, looked up at the proudly standing Cai Ling in front of him, glanced at it, then flapped his wings and flew around it once. Seeing that it had no obvious external injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Without having come into contact with the "boundary species," he asked with concern, "Cai Ling, are you injured?"

Cai Ling glanced at him sideways and said coldly, "No spirit beast can harm Cai Ling."

Zhu Yu immediately understood. If spirit beasts wouldn't work, then insectoid warriors would, but he didn't say it aloud. As long as no one was injured, it was fine. He nodded and pointed to the "Boundary Seed" and said, "This thing is too precious, Cai Ling. You should keep it for yourself. If not, you can exchange it for something useful."

He really wanted the "World Seed," but compared to the "World Seed," he felt that this little brother was more important.

Cai Ling glanced at him again, then flapped her wings and flew towards the Five Elements Formation, leaving only her voice slowly echoing.

"Cai Ling doesn't need it."

"this--"

Zhu Yu watched Cai Ling's figure disappear into the Five Elements Formation space, scratched his head, and then his gaze returned to the "World Seed." He carefully took it, feeling the life force within it, which was like a vast ocean, and sincerely exclaimed in his heart, "No wonder it is the legendary 'World Seed'—"

Instead of rushing to incorporate the "World Seed" into the "Life Pouch" for a breakthrough, he passed the message to his main body.

It took him a full quarter of an hour to receive the information from the source.

Retain and break through.

Upon receiving the information, Zhu Yu was overjoyed. After thinking for a moment, he dragged the "World Seed" into the Five Elements Formation space.

Upon entering the space where the White-tailed Pear Divine Spirit Seed was located, one immediately felt surrounded by a scorching aura. The gaze fell upon the White-tailed Pear, whose entire body was burning with raging flames. Under its scorching heat, a huge hole appeared in the Five Elements Array Barrier.

And above the tree canopy.

A ball of golden-red light surged like a heart.

Zhu Yu vaguely sensed that a powerful and abundant energy was constantly flowing down and merging into the golden-red light cluster.

"Is this... some kind of fire-elemental power source?

He was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and was overjoyed. Cai Ling could communicate with the source of power, which meant that she would not be confined to the "Insect World" in the future.

"Very good--"

Zhu Yu spun around happily, thought for a moment, and left a message with her divine sense, informing it that the "White-tailed Pear" and "Crabapple" fruits she had left for it were placed in the central array space. She glanced at it again, then turned and left.

The following time.

While waiting for the divinely bestowed seeds of "Hyacinth" to mature, he invited Baldhead and Firetail to go up the mountain to collect the fruits of the divine seeds of "Sapindus mukorossi", "Ziziphus jujuba", and "Acacia leucocephala".

After harvesting the fruit, he held a banquet.

The flesh, or rather the juice, of the "White Tail Pear" bestowed by God is given to them.

Have a wonderful night.

While tending to the spiritual seed every day, I patiently await the ripening of the divinely bestowed hyacinth seed.

Day and night alternate.

Ten days and nights passed in the blink of an eye.

One day, Zhu Yu, who was resting in the shade of a lush banyan tree, suddenly felt a stirring in his heart. He opened his eyes and exclaimed with delight, "They're finally ripe!"

It flapped its wings and took flight, plunging headfirst into the array space.

Hyacinth Array Space.

Strange rocks stand tall, and the wind howls and roars. Under a certain wind cave rock, a small cluster of nine peculiar mushrooms grows, all pale blue in color and shaped like straw hats.

As soon as Zhu Yu entered, a calm voice came from inside.

"Jufeng, you've arrived—"

"Hmm?" Zhu Yu was taken aback, then flapped his wings and flew to the hyacinth's main body. He nodded, took out a hundred Life Stones, crushed them, and asked, "You're here, hyacinth. How are you feeling?"

The hyacinth, a divinely bestowed seed, remains silent.

"Um?"

Just as Zhu Yu was wondering about its strange behavior.

Suddenly, a passionate and energetic voice rang out.

"Naruto, Sasgei! ————"

The gale suddenly stopped, and a strange fragrance filled the air. Accompanied by the excited voice of the hyacinth "Naruto, Sasgei", swirling winds suddenly appeared on nine peculiar mushrooms that were pale blue in color and shaped like straw hats.

next moment.

Fruits the size of rice grains, shaped like jade and glass, were ejected from the swirling wind.

Ignoring the hyacinth's strange words, Zhu Yu flashed and accepted the divine fruits one by one, stuffing them into a spider silk bag.

After a while.

As the whirlpool dissipated, a sudden gust of wind arose, and the hyacinth's passionate cries grew weaker.

"Sasgei, Naruto has used up all his strength—"

Seeing that Zhu Yu was only focused on counting the fruit and ignoring it, the hyacinth became annoyed and shouted, "Sasgei!—"

"Great, great, Ruto is amazing!"

Zhu Yu was completely immersed in the joy of the harvest. He gave a few perfunctory words and, without waiting for Hyacinth's reply, he flashed away from the array space.

In the center of the central formation.

"Two hundred and sixty pieces——"

After counting the fruits, I wish Yu a satisfactory conclusion.

Like the Queen Bamboo Fungus, each branch of the Hyacinth bears 30 fruits, nine branches bear 270 fruits, and 260 fruits eventually mature.

Without hesitation, he took out the "Myriad Stars Plate" connected to the Five Elements Formation, placed the "Grass Spirit Technique" on it, infused it with spiritual power, and activated its inner array restrictions.

A short while later.

A shimmering white vortex appeared.

Zhu Yu first put the spider silk bag containing two hundred and sixty "hyacinth" divine fruits into it, and then took out the spider silk bag containing the "life stone".

They used approximately one million Life Stones before stopping.

Then, the essence and blood of the "Flower Ghost" and "Tail Broken" were added.

While waiting for the teleportation, Zhu Yu quickly took stock of his belongings.

Selling 1,100 "White-tailed Pear" fruits and 300 "Malus spectabilis" fruits.

Excluding the one million that was transferred to the main body, five million life stones were spent on purchasing mountain lord-level spiritual food.

There are approximately 53.5 million Life Stones remaining.

The "One Leaf Lotus" has 69 fruits.

Eighty thousand spiritual fruits, including "Southern Sour Jujube".

Several wild giant beech spirit food items.

Three small vats of Lingmi brewed by Xiong Da and Xiong Er.

"Next, we wait for the Heavenly Fox and the others to retrieve their essence blood to nourish the 'Blood Source' spirit seed, purify the bloodline, and incorporate it into the 'World Seed' to break through to the Mountain Lord realm—"

After taking stock of his belongings, Zhu Yu pondered for a moment, then turned and left the array space.

Just as he was examining each of the "seeds of destiny," one of the bald man's descendants, accompanied by two white foxes carrying pitted stone bottles, climbed to the top of the mountain.

Seeing Zhu Yu hovering before the "Flesh Ganoderma" spirit seed, he immediately greeted, "Respected Great-Winged Wasp Warrior, Missing Ear..."

The bald tail is here—

Zhu Yu turned around and saw two celestial foxes, and cried out.

Without further ado, he led them to a grotesque, over ten feet tall plant covered in sharp thorns, resembling a cactus, yet containing a deep red "blood source" spirit seed, indicating that the missing ear and the others could begin dismantling it.

With its missing ear and bald tail, it glanced at the chai, nodded emphatically, and stepped in front of the "Blood Source" spirit seed. It took off the stone bottle on its back, removed the top cover, and slowly tilted it.

Instantly, gushing crimson blood flowed out, watering the roots of the "Blood Source" spirit seed.

The ugly thing was too perfect for the match. When the blood was used to nourish it, the "blood source" spirit seed visibly grew taller and thicker until it was 1.5 feet long and as thick as a person could hug. The branches quickly sprouted flower buds.

Flower buds bloom, wither, and condense into fruits resembling figs.

As blood is brutally poured in.

The "Blood Source" fruit visibly plumped up.

In just a short time, it grew to the size of a baby's fist, and the fruit changed from green to red, and then from red to purple.

Father-in-law —

A unique fragrance wafted through the air.

Zhu Yu, watching this scene, was stunned and somewhat awkwardly asked, "It's already cooked? —"

This isn't just the essence of a celestial fox; it's a divine medicine!

He stared intently at the stone bottle with its missing ear and bald tail swaying.

Que Er put down the empty stone bottle, looked at the ripe "Blood Source" fruits, and nodded in satisfaction. As if unaware of Zhu Yu's burning gaze, he said, "Respected Great-Winged Wasp Warrior, the 'Blood Source' fruits are ripe. After consuming them, these fruits will be enough to transform your bloodline into a Three-Tailed Celestial Fox."

After a pause, it seemed to casually add, "This essence blood is the accumulation of the 'Heavenly Fox' tribe over a year. If the esteemed Great-Winged Wasp Warrior wishes to purchase more, he will have to wait until next year."

"A year? —"

Zhu Yu's burning gaze subsided. He checked the fruit's effects, confirmed they were correct, and asked, "How many wild giant beetle spirit food do you plan to exchange these two bottles of essence blood for?"

He planned to continue trading with them next year, and then added: "The 'seeds' of the giant phoenix, as well as the 'sour jujube,' 'silver acacia,' and 'soapberry' are all ripe. If you want them, you can have them too."

"Thank you, esteemed Great Winged Wasp Warrior."

Both the one with missing ears and the one with a bald tail lit up. They huddled together and whispered among themselves. The one with missing ears stepped forward and said cautiously, "Respected Great-Winged Wasp Warrior, a bottle of Heavenly Fox Essence Blood, the Heavenly Fox Tribe sells it for—500,000 Life Stones. What do you think—"

"One million—"

Zhu Yu, with a net worth of tens of millions, didn't care about such a small amount of money. He immediately waved his hand and said, "At this price, are you planning to take life stones or spiritual food?"

The one with missing ears and a bald tail jumped up happily and said without hesitation, "Half of it needs spiritual food, and the other half needs life stones."

Jing Xuheng.

With missing ears and a bald tail, it left Jufengshi under the escort of the blue ox with well horns and the black donkey with black skin.

Zhu Yuting returned to the summit and arrived in front of the "Blood Source" spirit seed. He picked a fruit, examined it, confirmed its effects, and took a bite. The flesh was slightly sweet and had a rich, refreshing aroma; it was not bad.

He immediately swallowed the flesh and fruit together.

Under his divine sense, he discovered that the effects of the Blood Source Fruit were waning, and the ugly one was strengthening the shallow bloodline of Jiu Nei.

"Ugly mistake—"

Zhu Yu nodded in satisfaction. Chou hesitated no longer, picked the fruits one by one, and immediately swallowed a fruit after digesting the previous one.

And so on and on.

The next day.

"call--"

Zhu Yu felt the bloodline within him surging forth, let out a soft sigh, opened his eyes, looked at the "Blood Source" spirit seed whose fruit had been eaten, spread his wings, and whispered, "Next is breaking through to the Mountain Lord Realm—"

Knowing how long it would take for him to break through to the Origin Master level, he summoned the Bald-Headed, Fire-Tailed, and other spirit beasts, and gave them the "Southern Sour Jujube" and the remaining wild Giant Peak Grapes.

They also obtained 100,000 Life Stones.

Instruct them to look after the Giant Peak Market and also to deliver spiritual food and life stones to the three brothers, Xiong Da, Xiong Xi, and Xue Qian, at Hundred Flower Peak every half month.

After doing all this.

Zhu Yu entered the Five Elements Formation space, separated a secluded cultivation space, and after granting Cai Ling permission to enter and exit the formation, he took out the "World Seed" nurtured by the lifeless World Tree seed.

The pavilion reflects what the moon spirit said.

By incorporating the "Species" into the "Life Bag," it is driven to merge with the "Life Bag" and actively enter a dormant state for transformation.

The moment the "Boundary Seed" was incorporated into the "Life Pouch," wisps of emerald green energy surged from his body, and the surrounding grass grew wildly, slowly condensing into a grass cocoon around him.

Time passed little by little.

The grass cocoons grew thicker and larger each day.

at the same time.

The vitality permeating the space is increasing day by day.

Ugly knows Xu Heng.

A soft, mournful sound, like the cry of a baby, suddenly broke the silence.

Wisps of shimmering white energy rose, manifesting in mid-air a phantom of a fox, both ethereal and ugly, with three tails swaying behind it. Strange phenomena such as gales, torrential rain, and lightning faintly appeared in the air.

As the strange phenomena changed.

The strange fox phenomenon floating in mid-air also subtly changed.

Some tread on blazing flames, their breath like frost. Some are enveloped in fierce winds, lightning following them. Some have gleaming fur, resembling divine metal and strange iron. Some ride on white clouds, their aura light and ethereal like celestial beasts—
