A Bloodthirsty Vine?
Lin Tian slowly extended his divine sense beyond his body and began confidently examining his condition.
The spiritual vine he had originally been gave off a gentle feeling, with hardly any aggression at all.
But now, his vines were covered in blood-red stripes.
He also saw the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth surging rapidly toward him.
The blood-red stripes grew more vivid than ever.
His vines also began growing wildly!
The vine, originally only a dozen or so centimeters tall, immediately grew to over thirty centimeters.
Not only that, countless tiny thorns appeared along his vines.
Lin Tian could feel that these tiny thorns on his body could easily tear apart all sorts of ferocious beasts on Earth.
"This feels so good!" Lin Tian could not help muttering to himself.
The feeling of growing stronger!
Lin Tian soon adjusted to the changes. Then he settled his mind and continued cultivating diligently.
An Early True Immortal would already be a powerful being capable of sweeping aside everyone in an ordinary cultivation world.
But in this Primordial World, that was nowhere near enough!
In this Primordial World, a True Immortal was nothing but a little underling.
Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Profound Immortal, Golden Immortal, Great Unity Golden Immortal, Great Encompassing Golden Immortal, Quasi-Saint, Heavenly Dao Saint, Dao-Merging Saint, Great Dao Saint.
Of course, there were realms below Heavenly Immortal, but those were subdivisions cultivators would have no choice but to introduce in the future, when spiritual energy became scarce.
Right now, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant. As long as one possessed spiritual intelligence and knew how to cultivate,
it would not take long to become a Heavenly Immortal.
Lin Tian was currently an Early True Immortal, with three minor stages still to go before he could become a Profound Immortal.
Early stage, middle stage, late stage, peak.
"Fortunately, the struggle between the dragons and phoenixes hasn't started yet. That means Hongjun hasn't become a Saint." After grumbling to himself, Lin Tian went straight back to cultivating diligently.
Cultivation knew no passage of time; a thousand years had already passed in the world outside.
By the time Lin Tian awakened again, more than three thousand years had passed.
But this little span of time was nothing at all to the Primordial World.
"I never expected breaking through to be so difficult. I've cultivated for three thousand years, and I still haven't had a chance to reach the middle stage of the True Immortal realm."
Lin Tian let out a long sigh of carbon dioxide, feeling mentally exhausted.
"System, open my status panel."
It suddenly occurred to Lin Tian that he did not even know how many Evolution Points he had saved up.
Name: Lin Tian Race: Primordial World Bloodthirsty Vine Cultivation: Early True Immortal Cultivation method: None Divine ability: Devour (devour the blood of living creatures to obtain Evolution Points) Evolution Points: 3765/10000 Current quest: Obtain enough Evolution Points. Once Evolution Points reach ten thousand, the host may evolve his race again.
Looking at his Evolution Points gave Lin Tian a headache.
After he became an Early True Immortal, each strand of spiritual energy he absorbed earned him only 0.1 Evolution Points.
Even absorbing purple qi only earned him 1 point each time.
Sometimes, he did not even get a chance to absorb any purple qi.
"No, I can't just sit here waiting to die. If I keep absorbing energy this slowly, it'll probably take another six thousand years or more before I can evolve again."
Lin Tian had made up his mind: no more painstaking cultivation.
To many mighty beings of the Primordial World, six thousand years was nothing at all.
A single session of secluded cultivation would be enough.
But to Lin Tian, who had transmigrated from Earth, these years were no different from torment.
He was rooted there all alone, unable to see anything, with no one to talk to.
It was hardly any different from being in prison.
"I'll test my Devour ability while I'm at it."
Having prepared himself, Lin Tian began trying to draw his roots together.
His roots slowly began moving back and forth.
The soil around him loosened.
Whoosh!
After roughly a few minutes, Lin Tian's roots finally burst free of the soil.
His roots began winding together, their tendrils rapidly gathering into the shape of two legs so he could walk freely.
"I can finally move around."
Lin Tian ran swiftly, as though he had rediscovered his youth.
This feeling really was wonderful.
At the same time, he cautiously extended his divine sense, carefully examining everything around him.
To the southeast, there was an immortal crane.
It looked quite ordinary, yet its cultivation had already reached the middle stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm.
It did not seem to have awakened spiritual intelligence. It had only reached its current cultivation level by instinctively absorbing spiritual energy.
Lin Tian concealed his aura and began moving closer, little by little.
The immortal crane was drinking beside a stream.
It did not notice at all that a beautiful-looking red vine had appeared nearby.
After drinking its fill, the immortal crane was just about to leave when it happened to spot the vine.
That looks delicious.
Suspecting nothing, the immortal crane immediately approached the vine and slowly opened its beak.
At that moment, the vine suddenly grew larger, and tendrils shot out from behind it, instantly binding the immortal crane.
Red thorns emerged along the tendrils and pierced the immortal crane's body.
That was right-this vine was none other than Lin Tian!
He began rapidly absorbing the immortal crane's blood.
It tried to struggle, but Lin Tian was already an Early True Immortal, so his cultivation was naturally far stronger.
In just five minutes, Lin Tian drained the immortal crane into a piece of jerky.
Ding! Congratulations, host, on devouring an immortal crane's blood. Evolution Points +100.
The system notification immediately sent a thrill through Lin Tian.
If he had known devouring the blood of living creatures would earn him so many Evolution Points, why would he have bothered cultivating so painstakingly?
Spending three thousand years sitting there without moving was simply too difficult for him.
This sort of thing was addictive.
Over the following stretch of time, Lin Tian was either devouring the blood of living creatures or on his way to find more.
Ding! Congratulations, host, on devouring the blood of a late-stage Heavenly Immortal Spirit Ape. Evolution Points +200. Ding! Congratulations, host, on devouring the blood of a middle-stage Heavenly Immortal Purple Lion. Evolution Points +150. Ding! Congratulations, host, on devouring the blood of a late-stage Heavenly Immortal Spirit Tortoise. Evolution Points +500.
That day, Lin Tian was searching for living creatures. His Evolution Points were already approaching six thousand. Given a little more time, he would be able to evolve again.
"What is this?"
To his surprise, Lin Tian discovered a restriction on a small island ahead of him.
The presence of a restriction meant there was a formation up ahead.
"Could it be one of the legendary innate formations?" Lin Tian's heart burned with excitement!
