Ji An flew back with Ayun to the Soul Nurturing Wood in the central area and discovered faint cracks on the surface of its dark, smooth bark.
He extended his divine sense into the trunk and immediately sensed surging fluctuations of life force.
Running his hand over those cracks, a smile appeared at the corner of his lips:
"This will be the beginning of a new era!"
The reason the Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots had successively advanced to Fifth-Tier Low-Grade was due to preferential resource allocation. The Soul Nurturing Wood, on the other hand, had received little special care.
Now that the Soul Nurturing Wood showed signs of breaking through in grade, it meant those precious plants all possessed the potential for breakthroughs.
However, he did not intend to allocate resources preferentially to the other spirit plants. Before the Spirit Vein's grade improved, the more non-Heaven and Earth Spirit Root Fifth-Tier Low-Grade spirit plants there were, the greater their demands on the Spirit Fields would be, which would hinder the Spirit Vein's advancement.
"Congratulations, my lord. May the small world grow ever more beautiful."
Ayun spoke with deep feeling. Her intelligence had grown higher and higher, and she now possessed more emotions.
Ji An laughed heartily. "Haha, it will surely get better and better."
He came to the area where demon beast corpses were often burned and took the remains of the Abyssal Sea Serpents from the Void Stone.
The two Three Flowers Realm Early Stage sea serpents had been severely "slimmed down." Originally more than three zhang in diameter, they were now left with only bones and a little flesh, merely as thick as water buckets.
Their toughest skulls had lost many pieces and were charred black.
Ji An sat cross-legged and activated the Yin Yang Spirit Fire.
