The figure of Di Tian has disappeared, but the invisible heavy pressure from Soul Mark is like the strongest chain, firmly binding every ray of consciousness of Yuni. He knows that from this moment on, His life, death, future, and even his thoughts (at least strong thoughts that may trigger a branding reaction) will be under the absolute surveillance of Beast God. The feeling of being like a light on his back and having no privacy at all makes him extremely uncomfortable, but there is nothing he can do about it.
"Fortunately... they agreed." Deep in his consciousness, there was a feeling of weakness after a disaster, as well as a trace of subtle happiness. Although the price was complete dependence and loss of freedom, at least he won the most critical step of the gamble-survived, and gained the possibility of breaking through the Hundred-Thousand-Year bottleneck. This was the only life-saving straw he could grasp in this desperate situation.
Bi Ji's cold voice interrupted his thoughts, "Concentrate your mind and follow me." She had no extra words. The emerald green light lit up softly from her body, and a far gentler but purer life energy than the previous treatment slowly enveloped the ball. "Yuni". This energy does not try to invade or forcibly change anything, but is like the softest silk, holding him up, isolating most of the energy disturbances from the outside world, and also isolating the uncontrollable and weak aura of decay on his body from corroding the surrounding environment.
The body (if this thing can still be called a body) was gently but irresistibly lifted up, and as Bi Ji slowly flew away from the island in the middle of the lake, heading deeper into Lake of Life, or in other words, drifting in a certain direction towards the lakeside.
"However, where will they take me?" Yuni's consciousness was wrapped in Bi Ji's life energy, and he still couldn't help but think. Breaking through Hundred-Thousand-Year was by no means easy, especially in his current weird state. Di Tian put Bi Ji in charge, mobilizing the peripheral vitality of Lake of Life, supplemented by the power of gentle nourishment, to help him stabilize Origin, sort out the chaos, and attack bottlenecks. It sounds like he is looking for a place with rich life energy that is relatively stable and controllable.
Lake of Life is vast, and the aura is not completely uniform. The core area is undoubtedly the place with the purest and most majestic energy, but Di Tian explicitly prohibits him from contacting the core Origin. So, in the peripheral area... where is the most suitable place to "nourish" and "stabilize" a being like him?
A name, almost subconsciously, quietly emerged in his consciousness like bubbles emerging from the dark bottom of the water - Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
In his memory fragments, Star Dou Forest In the depths of Lake of Life, there seems to be sealed or "stored" a million-year-old Soul Beast and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. That guy seems to have unimaginably huge Mental Power and vitality. Although its combat power is sparse, it itself is like an endless source of pure energy. In the original work, the opportunity of Huo Yuhao seems to have begun there...
"Could it be... that it's Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's place?" Yuni's thoughts moved slightly, but he immediately suppressed them. There was an extremely subtle, almost imperceptible throb from the imprint deep in his soul, as if it was a silent warning. He restrained his overly active thoughts. Di Tian may not be able to read every thought of his in real time, but for strong and directional mental fluctuations, especially when it involves certain key existences or plans, this imprint is likely to be the most sensitive alarm.
He didn't dare to think about it further. Whether it was where Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was or not was not something he could comment on now. He was just a chess piece now, a prisoner who was being observed and "helped" in the hope of generating value in the future. Where to go and how to break through was not up to him.
Bi Ji took him, not to the depths of the lake where Lake of Life seemed to be the most mysterious and with the most obscure energy fluctuations. Instead, he flew along the lakeside to a seemingly ordinary place shrouded in the rich breath of life. Woodland. This woodland has towering ancient trees, each exuding ancient and majestic vitality. The ground is covered with thick, spiritual mosses and ferns. The air is filled with light green light spots of life visible to the naked eye, floating like elves.
Finally, Bi Ji stopped in front of an extremely old giant tree whose trunk required dozens of people to hug it. This giant tree was not Soul Beast, but it had been nourished by Lake of Life over the years. The inside of its trunk seemed to have been partially energized, forming a natural tree hole space full of gentle life energy. The entrance to the tree hole was blocked by a soft emerald green light curtain, and there was obviously a restriction.
Bi Ji waved his hand to unlock the light curtain and took the protagonist to fly into the tree hole. The inside of the tree hole is far more spacious than it looks from the outside. The ground is covered with tangled and warm tree roots, forming a natural platform. Both the cave walls and the dome are flowing. The gleaming green light is the breath of life that is so rich that it is almost liquefied. The breath here is gentler and purer than Lake Heart Island, and it has a strange power to soothe the soul and nourish Origin.
"This is the internal space of 'Soul-Nurturing Ancient Tree'," Bi Ji's voice sounded in the tree hole, with a faint echo, "Its Origin is connected to the outside of Lake of Life. Its vitality is gentle and mellow. It is best at soothing restlessness, nourishing the remaining soul, and stabilizing Origin. Di Tian Mr., I am here to help you because I am interested in the characteristics of this place, which can stabilize your chaotic Soul Power and spiritual consciousness to the greatest extent, and reduce the risks caused by the instability of Origin when you break through, especially..." She paused and glanced at the protagonist's body that still exuded an unstable and withering atmosphere, "... control the rampage of your dangerous power."
It turns out it's not Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's place. Yuni knew it in his heart, but at the same time he was slightly awe-struck. Di Tian and Bi Ji thought carefully about choosing this place, which can provide both The huge vitality support required for breakthrough can also use the special environment of "Soul-Nurturing Ancient Tree" to suppress and reconcile the power full of destruction and decay, preventing it from getting out of control at the critical moment of breakthrough, or from indiscriminately eroding the surrounding life again.
"You will be here for a while." Bi Ji gently placed him in the center of the tree hole, on the platform formed by the warm tree roots. The platform seemed to be able to automatically absorb, transform and release life energy, forming a gentle energy field. "I will guide Lake of Life The vitality on the periphery of is slowly injected into this place through the ancient wood for you to absorb. At the same time, I will use Emerald Swan Clan's innate healing power to help you sort out the violent and chaotic energy in your body, and try to guide your... toxicity to be controllable."
"But remember," Bi Ji's tone became serious, "The process will be extremely slow and painful. You must relax completely and accept my guidance without any resistance. Your Soul Mark will ensure that you will not do anything that will harm me or this place. However, if you are confused and resist treatment, resulting in energy conflicts, at least all your efforts will be wasted, and at worst, Origin will collapse completely and lose your soul."
"The power in your body is full of the will to destroy and end, and is contrary to the essence of life energy. The process of blending is tantamount to fusing water with fire, so you need to be careful. If you cannot bear the pain or have distracting thoughts, you will destroy yourself."
Bi Ji's words were devoid of emotion and were simply stating facts. She knew that what she could do for this "prisoner" who was burdened with Swan's blood debt and possessed of strange powers was to strictly implement Di Tian's orders and try to guide him to break through while controlling risks. As for his life or death, she had tried her best, and the outcome would depend on fate.
Yuni's consciousness silently agreed. He had no choice. This "Soul-Nurturing Ancient Tree" space was both his "ward" and his "cage". Here, he would begin a life-or-death and difficult journey of reinventing himself.
Bi Ji said no more, and formed a mysterious mark with his hands on his chest. Suddenly, the entire tree cave was filled with brilliance of life. Countless light green light spots seemed to be summoned, seeping out from the cave walls, dome, ground, and even the void, slowly moving towards in the center of the platform. Yuni gathered together. At the same time, a purer, warmer, and more vibrant emerald energy flowed out from the palm of Bi Ji, like the most dexterous thread, cautiously exploring the chaotic body, and began to try to contact and calm the violent and chaotic energy flow inside.
When the pure life energy really touches Yuni's body, which is full of withering and death, Dan-Devour At Origin, the expected violent conflict occurred. There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a silent, but more thrilling annihilation and confrontation. Life energy tried to nourish, repair, and stabilize, while the dead power of Dan-Devour instinctively rejected, eroded, and destroyed.
"Uh--!" Even in Yuni's current almost incorporeal state, he felt unspeakable pain. It was not physical pain, but tearing and burning at the soul level. It was two completely opposite and incompatible Origin forces that were frantically conflicting, tearing, and annihilating in his fragile spiritual consciousness as a "container" while trying to find a strange balance.
There was also a slight sweat on Bi Ji's forehead. She clearly felt the stubbornness and terror of that withered power. Her life energy was like the most precise probe and scalpel. She had to try to guide and appease the violent power of Dan-Devour, and avoid being eroded by it. She also had to carefully protect the already broken spiritual consciousness from being completely shattered in the conflict. This process was also a great consumption and test for the leader.
Time seems to have lost its meaning in this isolated tree hole. Only the constantly lighting up emerald green light and the sometimes surging and sometimes silent gray atmosphere in "Yuni" silently tell the story of this difficult and dangerous reshaping of life.
Yuni's consciousness was ups and downs in the boundless pain and the warm current of life guided by Bi Ji. He knew that this was just the beginning. The road to breaking through Hundred-Thousand-Year was destined to be full of thorns and unknowns. But this was the path he chose, using everything in the future to bet on the possibility of the present.
