My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

Chapter 190 Innate Profound Mysteries, Wood-based Fusion

Gu Qing, Feng Qiwu, and the others, who were located above the tree canopy, were the first to sense this strange fluctuation.

The fluctuation instantly seeped into their bodies, and an indescribable feeling quickly spread throughout their entire bodies. Gu Qing felt himself melting, becoming a part of the Phoenix Tree.

This divine tree seems to be assimilating all matter and energy in the surrounding world.

Or perhaps it is merging into the universe.

Through this fluctuation, Gu Qing could clearly sense a profound fluctuation that was different from ordinary wood-attribute fluctuations. This profound fluctuation was very ancient, as if it had crossed the river of time and appeared in front of Gu Qing.

Through this fluctuation, Gu Qing felt as if he had experienced an extremely long period of time. This strange fluctuation erupted from the depths of the earth, broke through the scorching lava, and took root in the earth.

In Gu Qing's perception, he had become a tree, growing continuously under the nourishment of countless raindrops, breaking through the clouds, breaking through the sky, and soaring straight to the heavens.

Finally, even thunder could not annihilate its main trunk.

It grew into a divine tree that reached the heavens, its roots firmly planted in the earth, its canopy touching the highest heavens.

As a result, it can no longer grow upwards.

Just then, a vast chorus of praises suddenly arose from all around, transforming into tiny, transparent specks of light that floated around. This was a spiritual force, a power of will.

The mental power that Gu Qing gathered in the first ancient martial arts world is similar in nature to this light point energy.

Is this the Shinto belief system?

Is the power of faith, the power of incense offerings, and the essence of prayer simply a variation of spiritual power?

"Among the true teachings seized by the Wei family, there is knowledge about the belief in demon gods. If one is a cultivator of the divine path, the faith gathered by the prayers of all living beings will automatically condense into threads and continuously converge into the hands of gods and demons."

"I haven't yet delved into the path of gods and demons."

"How can we make use of these points of faith around us?"

Just then, a scene from her previous life, fishing in the river, suddenly flashed into Gu Qing's mind.

Isn't this also fishing?

Thinking of this, he immediately wove his mental power into a fishing net and fiercely cast it towards the surrounding light spots, trying to catch each floating light spot.

Whoosh!

This net retrieved dozens or even hundreds of sparks of faith.

The power of the mind dragged these specks of light into Gu Qing's spiritual world.

In an instant, these points of light transformed into different projections of the "Phoenix Perching on the Wutong Tree".

These points of light are the phoenix trees in the hearts of all living beings, projected onto the phoenix tree itself through the power of faith.

As a result, Gu Qing intercepted him halfway.

At the center of Gu Qing's spiritual world, the forces of Yin and Yang transformed into a millstone, crushing and refining these particles of faith.

In an instant.

An indescribable feeling spread from Gu Qing's inner world, radiating through her mind and affecting her body, causing a faint glow to appear.

Gu Qing sensed that the intangible and formless strange fluctuations emanating from the Phoenix Tree seemed to have been tinged with color after the faith light points were refined.

This finally allowed Gu Qing to see the true nature of the fluctuations.

After continuously capturing and refining the particles of faith light, and after an unknown amount of time, the profound fluctuations on the Phoenix Tree's body were finally tinged with Gu Qing's own color.

This profound fluctuation transformed into an extremely complex rune, which merged into the depths of Gu Qing's soul.

A bright green light shone from Gu Qing's body, and the Wood Domain opened involuntarily, enveloping Gu Qing completely and transforming him into a bright green cocoon.

This time, Gu Qing's soul truly transformed into a seed.

He felt that his soul wanted to take root and sprout, to grow; this was the instinctive desire of a plant to grow.

What should I do?

Gu Qing was in a hurry.

He clearly felt that this transformation was a tremendous opportunity for him.

We absolutely cannot fall here.

If the seeds don't germinate, it's probably because they weren't watered. Hmm, watering?

Just as various ideas were colliding rapidly in Gu Qing's mind, he suddenly grasped a glimmer of inspiration.

Water it!

If water can't be used, then try watering the light of faith.

A sudden inspiration struck me.

Gu Qing immediately took action, transforming his mental power into a fishing net once again to catch the surrounding specks of faith. This net scooped up hundreds of specks of light.

Use the power of your mind to capture these points of light and project them into the depths of your consciousness.

A light drizzle suddenly began to fall over the sea of ​​consciousness. It was from this drizzle that Gu Qing felt his soul, which had transformed into a seed, burst forth with a powerful life force from the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness.

Immediately, the seed of the soul sprouted roots that were more than ten times thinner than a strand of hair.

"Um?!"

"Is the [Rooting Profound Mystery] condensed from the Azure Emperor Sword Manual merging with the divine soul?"

"Could it be that—"

Gu Qing has cultivated for so long that he has comprehended more than a dozen basic mysteries of the wood element and condensed a wood-based domain.

However, even if one were to master both volumes of the Azure Emperor Sword Manual, one could only integrate six basic mysteries of the wood element.

The ten profound and mysterious techniques combined are probably only found in Heavenly Grade True Techniques.

It seems possible to achieve this by taking advantage of the opportunity brought about by the strange change in the Phoenix Tree.

Thinking of this, a fire immediately ignited in Gu Qing's heart, making his eyes shine.

As more and more points of faith converged around him, Gu Qing's spiritual power yielded greater and greater harvests of these points of faith.

soon.

In Gu Qing's sea of ​​consciousness, a continuous spring rain began to fall.

The seed of the soul finally grew strong roots deep in the sea of ​​consciousness, broke through the surface of the sea of ​​consciousness, sprouted tender shoots, and became a seedling.

The moment this nascent soul appeared, a thunderous sound echoed through Gu Qing's sea of ​​consciousness.

He could see the mist at the edge of his sea of ​​consciousness constantly rolling outwards, continuously expanding the boundaries of Gu Qing's sea of ​​consciousness.

Three hundred meters, three hundred and fifty meters————

The more faith light particles Gu Qing invested, the faster the soul seedling grew, making the soul space more stable and the sea of ​​consciousness space continuously expand.

The profound mysteries of the wood attribute that Gu Qing cultivated gradually merged into the budding divine soul.

This seedling is neither like the bitter bamboo of the Sword Realm nor the phoenix-perching parasol tree. As various mysteries are integrated into it, the seedling grows into a plant form that Gu Qing has never seen before.

Just as Gu Qing was undergoing her transformation, the outside world truly changed.

Of all the cultivators who came to participate in the Phoenix Clan's centennial celebration, except for Zhi Tianyi, none of them expected that the Phoenix Palace would cause such a commotion.

The Phoenix-Perching Wutong Tree, a primordial spiritual root that has been growing since the beginning of time, possesses an incredibly terrifying foundation.

After he fully absorbed the [Purple Extreme Heavenly River Pill] refined by Gu Qing, this innate spiritual root merged into the world and became a pillar supporting the heavens and earth.

It is different from the legendary Buzhou Mountain.

He is a living tree, and therefore has the potential to grow infinitely.

The faith gathered by all living beings on the entire Fiery Continent transformed into a powerful remedy, spurring the Phoenix Tree to continuously expand towards the sky.

Rumble!!

A dull, deafening roar came from the heavens, as if it had struck an invisible barrier.

But this time, the phoenix-perching parasol tree did not stop growing; it wanted to break the shackles of heaven and earth.
