"Yes, it does exist, but opening this channel requires a considerable price. Moreover, the Tree of Life is an extremely rare treasure, even in the Western God Realm, and the current Life Main God who controls Tree of Life is not someone to be trifled with."
After a slight hesitation, Ye Zhiqiu finally revealed his family's channel, but he also emphasized the difficulty of doing so, hoping that Wang Hao would give up and not waste his efforts on this.
"As long as we can obtain a Tree of Life, the price is not an issue. We will hand over this treasure to your sect's elders, and they will agree."
Wang Hao took out a sealed energy arrow, which was the one he had condensed last time to trick Chen Zhan into activating Hou Yi Bow. This time, Wang Hao sealed the Daoist essence of the Ancient Tree of Life within it.
The Ancient Tree of Life is, after all, Heaven-Defying Level powerhouse. The Daoist essence of such an existence cannot be contained by just anything. And coincidentally, this energy arrow condensed from Hou Yi Bow can perfectly contain the Daoist essence of the Ancient Tree of Life.
The Daoist essence of this Ancient Tree of Life was what he gave to the Chaos Dao itself and as payment for exchanging it for the Tree of Life.
Before Ye Zhiqiu could speak, a handsome young man suddenly appeared in the hall, and with a complicated expression, he reached out and took the energy arrow from Wang Hao's hand.
"I didn't expect you to actually comprehend the supreme Dao essence within Hou Yi Bow. This deal is on the Six Primordial Evil Daos of the Primordial Era."
After examining the energy arrow and confirming that the Daoist essence within it indeed originated from the Ancient Tree of Life, the young man's emotions became even more complex.
He did know that Wang Hao had once studied the Hou Yi Bow of the Chen Clan, and with his background, he naturally knew the secrets of such treasures as the Hou Yi Bow.
However, those treasures have been locked away by the Chen Clan's own bloodline, making it impossible for outsiders to refine them, let alone comprehend the supreme Dao essence within them.
But who would have thought that this kid actually comprehended the essence of Hou Yi Bow, and completely so, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to make a copy of it.
What's even more terrifying is that this kid only spent a month studying Hou Yi Bow; his comprehension is truly extraordinary.
Even though they had already witnessed Wang Hao's astonishing and extraordinary abilities before, they were still quite shocked this time.
"Ancestor!"
Upon seeing the young man appear, Ye Zhiqiu and his wife quickly bowed in respect. This was none other than the God Emperor Level expert from their Chaos Dao.
Although they were very curious about the arrow that Wang Hao had taken out that could move this ancestor, the couple were both very self-aware and knew what they should and shouldn't ask.
Otherwise, knowing things you shouldn't know can have serious consequences, especially within Devil Dao sects.
"Then I'll have to trouble you!"
Wang Hao stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and was quite pleased, knowing that the matter had been settled.
If we can win over this powerful figure, then obtaining the Life Main God who controls the Tree of Life in the Western God Realm will be no problem. After all, compared to the powerful figures of the Six Primordial Evil Daos, the supreme Daoist essence of this Ancient Tree of Life is more important to the Life Main God, and he will definitely agree to the deal.
"I will bring the Tree of Life in a month."
After giving Wang Hao a deep look, the handsome young man turned and left, preparing to find a Seventh Tier Immortal God under his tutelage to undergo tribulation and ascend to the Heaven Realm.
Although the celestial and mortal realms are separated and communication is difficult, they can bypass this barrier through other methods. For example, by having Seventh Tier Immortal God ascend, some things can be taken to the Heaven Realm.
The only difficulty in this matter is that there will be a considerable price to pay for sending the Tree of Life down from the Heaven Realm afterward, but it is insignificant compared to the supreme Daoist essence of this Ancient Tree of Life.
So this deal is done!
"Wang Lang, you haven't come to see me in so long!"
Just after seeing Ye Zhiqiu and his wife off, a beautiful figure flew in and grabbed his arm.
Smelling the alluring fragrance, feeling the soft touch of the pair of weapons on his arm, and hearing that plaintive and charming voice, how could Wang Hao not know the identity of the person who came?
"Can't a young lady be a little more reserved? Do you even understand the concept of reserve?"
Without a second thought, Wang Hao pulled his arm away from the alluring touch, concluding that this girl was definitely up to no good and it was best to stay away.
Just as he was about to leave, his arm was tightly embraced again, even tighter than before, and his waist was even encircled by a pair of shapely legs, making their posture seem quite ambiguous.
"You little vixen, don't you need a good beating?"
With a dark expression, Wang Hao really wanted to punch this girl.
Bibi Dong, that woman, once clung to him like a koala, but she was just a tool he used to farm Fortune Points, so he had to tolerate it for the sake of those Fortune Points.
But Nangong Xian'er is different!
"I certainly deserve a beating! Please, my lord, do as you please, I will not resist!"
Pressing her cherry lips against her lover's ear, Nangong Xian'er breathed sweetly, her seductive skills at their peak, hoping to immediately consummate their relationship with this blockhead.
Unfortunately, she was facing a man who was practically a die-hard straight man, and instead of being charmed, she became rather impatient.
"If you can't hold it in, take care of it yourself. I'm not playing house with you!"
Forcibly prying the woman's arms and legs off her body, Wang Hao sat down, his expression turning serious, and changed the subject, saying, "How's the population collection going?"
Although she was quite dissatisfied, seeing Wang Hao talking about serious matters, Nangong Xian'er could only become serious as well and explain the current progress of the work in detail.
"Through our Desire Dao, we have now identified 300 billion homeless orphans in the Great Emperor, including many disabled individuals, all children under the age of ten who lack the ability to survive independently..."
Wang Hao had decided to train Nangong Xian'er and others from the beginning, so he assigned them the task of collecting population data.
After all, whether it was seizing territory from righteous forces or suppressing that old demon, these were things that the younger generation like Nangong Xian'er couldn't handle. Now, all they can do are these clerical jobs.
With the support of the power of the Six Primordial Evil Daos, doing these things is not difficult.
"Were all done through normal channels?"
With his eyes slightly narrowed, Wang Hao stared directly at Nangong Xian'er.
Although he desperately needed people, he would never engage in the despicable act of human trafficking, nor would he steal or abduct other people's children. Therefore, he set a strict rule from the beginning: he could only take in homeless children who had no means of supporting themselves.
He had done this kind of thing before in the Douluo Universe, so he was very familiar with the process. At most, he would just make some modifications according to local conditions.
"Wang Lang, how could you doubt him!"
Faced with Wang Hao's questioning, Nangong Xian'er was on the verge of tears, staring at Wang Hao as if he were a heartless man, which made him furious.
"Alright, alright, stop pretending!"
Shaking his head in frustration, Wang Hao continued seriously, "I've already made my bottom line very clear last time. I hope you won't cross it, otherwise the consequences will be something you don't want to see."
Although he trusted Nangong Xian'er to some extent, the Six Primordial Evil Daos were, after all, Devil Dao sects who did whatever they pleased without any scruples, and he was really not at ease letting these people do things for him.
That's why Nangong Xian'er and the others were asked to keep a close eye on things, lest they really cause something that would anger both heaven and man.
After all, he recruits people for his own development, not to cause trouble. If the people he recruits harbor resentment, they will inevitably become a major hidden danger in the future.
"Okay, Xian'er will keep a close eye on things."
Understanding Wang Hao's meaning, Nangong Xian'er quickly nodded. At the same time, after Awakening, she increased the number of people to keep an eye on the matter, lest she really cross this blockhead's bottom line.
"As for the work you mentioned about recruiting orphans within the sphere of influence, let's put that on hold for now. I have arrangements in place; you just need to prepare to receive them."
Considering the other major problem that Nangong Xian'er had just mentioned, Wang Hao had no good solution for the time being and could only put it aside for the time being.
In the Eastern Immortal Fantasy Continent, there are Great Emperor and five forces, including the righteous and the demonic paths. Among them, the Great Emperor occupy the largest land area and have the largest population, but the righteous and the demonic paths are not far behind in this regard.
The Great Emperor were relatively easy to deal with. Given their previous display of power, Great Emperor wouldn't stop them and were even happy for them to take in the homeless orphans.
After all, these homeless orphans usually either starve to death or are recruited by some dark forces and become part of the empire's criminal gangs.
The Great Emperor have always had a headache about this. Although the empires could cut off the source of manpower for those evil forces by adopting those orphans, the number of orphans was simply too large, and even the Great Emperor could not afford it.
This is mainly because this world is in a feudal period with low productivity, especially in agriculture, which is still in a primitive stage and cannot produce enough food to supply the market.
In this world, there are no family planning policies, and every couple will have at least five children, those of whom they cannot support will have to be painfully abandoned.
Or perhaps due to natural Scourge or man-made calamities, a large number of orphans have emerged.
This is the main source of the population that Wang Hao recruits. The Great Emperor cannot support these orphans, but he can!
Once the Origin Life Absolute Formation Array is set up, food crops can be cultivated in the Death Desert. With his improvement methods, feeding trillions of people will not be difficult.
However, the previous events had severely damaged the righteous forces, making it difficult for them to operate there.
However, it's not a big problem. Although it's not feasible now, once the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth descends, those righteous forces will surely abandon their civilians and hide away.
That will be the perfect opportunity for him to recruit a large number of people, and he might even be able to take over the entire Immortal Fantasy Continent of the Human Realm in one fell swoop.
"Wang Lang, other people's cultivation progress is so slow, you've already left them three realms behind!"
After finishing their business, Nangong Xian'er hugged Wang Hao's arm again and said coquettishly.
In this world where strength reigns supreme, Nangong Xian'er knew very well that strength was indispensable if she wanted to win this man's heart.
If the difference in cultivation level between you and your opponent becomes too great, things could get really troublesome.
However, this deadwood is far too monstrous and heaven-defying; his cultivation level has increased in a truly astonishing way.
She hasn't even perfected all aspects of the Third Tier tier yet, but this guy has already broken through to the Peak Sixth Tier, and it seems that he's almost reached his limit in all aspects as well, so he'll definitely break through again next.
Her monstrous growth rate was impossible to keep up with, and the Perfect Cultivation System created by this blockhead would take a huge amount of time to develop. It was a dead end!
She has been thinking about a solution these days, but unfortunately, she hasn't been able to come up with a good one.
There are no shortcuts on the path of cultivation, but you might be an exception!
After thinking it over, Wang Hao realized he really needed to find a way to accelerate this girl's growth; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to keep up with his plans and would inevitably be hampered in the future.
As it happened, he did know a way to accelerate this girl's growth without any side effects.
"I knew Wang Lang would dote on me the most!"
His eyes shone brightly, and he hugged her arms even tighter, rubbing his breasts together repeatedly, his heart pounding with excitement.
"I suppose you can guess that your identity is extraordinary. As far as I know, you were a great figure in your past life. If you can Awakening the power of your past life and refine it, using it as resources to rapidly improve your cultivation, you will surely grow quickly without any side effects."
Wang Hao didn't waste any time and directly stated the method he had come up with.
Actually, Nangong Xian'er's situation is somewhat similar to his; both are reincarnations of powerful beings. The difference is that he has a complete set of memories and realms, allowing him to directly begin accelerated cultivation, while this girl still needs to undergo Awakening first.
