Douluo: My Custom Achievement System

Xuan Zi watched this strange scene with astonishment.

Before long, he had completely tuned his frequency to the frequency of the Tree of Life.

Just then, a barely perceptible cyan light rippled out from Jiang Yi's forehead.

This azure light, imbued with a rich Life Force, continuously amplified Jiang Yi's life fluctuations.

It slowly spread outwards, causing no ripples in its path, except for some fluctuations in the Plant-type Soul Beast.

Soon, this aura reached the Core Zone.

The Soul Beast in the Core Zone were more powerful and more perceptive, and they all sensed this aura.

A look of doubt couldn't help but appear in his eyes.

They quickly realized that the aura had reached the depths of the Core Zone.

This place is a complete forbidden zone for humans, surrounded by incredibly powerful Soul Beast.

Not far ahead lies Great Ferocious Land, a place inhabited by Ferocious Beast.

Fortunately, this aura finally stopped before setting foot in the Great Ferocious Land.

Because here, Jiang Yi finally found Life Resonance.

And it wasn't just one, but ten or even a hundred—an entire race of the Tree of Life seemed to be hiding in the same place.

This is a secluded valley, surrounded by birdsong and fragrant flowers, brimming with Life Force.

Deep in that valley, rows of incredibly green trees grow quietly.

The leaves on each tree, as green as jade, exude a rich Life Force that captivates both Soul Beast and humans.

Here stands the largest tree, over a thousand meters tall, with an incredibly thick trunk covered in bluish-gold veins.

Those emerald green leaves were covered with golden threads.

"The life force fluctuations of my race?" The enormous Tree of Life swayed slightly.

Then, I gently swayed the leaves, sensing the aura emanating from this wave of life.

Jiang Yi, in the Mixed Zone, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock and surprise.

To his astonishment, things turned out exactly as he had predicted: almost all the Tree of Life now lived in the same place.

The vibrant Life Force of that place truly amazed him.

In addition, he also sensed several extremely powerful Life Force fluctuations there, the strongest of which was far more than 100,000 years old.

He couldn't determine the exact number either.

"Xuan Zi, I have found the Tree of Life." Jiang Yi stood up and said.

"Oh, where is it?" Xuan Zi asked.

Jiang Yi said with a serious expression, "It's in a deep valley in the Core Zone, a place that's very close to Great Ferocious Land."

Upon hearing about the Great Ferocious Land, Xuan Zi's expression changed; even he could not easily set foot in that place.

Xuan Zi fell into thought, then slowly nodded.

"Alright, then we'll go there. As long as we don't set foot in the Great Ferocious Land or hunt Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, it won't be considered a breach of agreement."

"Huo Yuhao, I'll send you out of the Star Dou Great Forest first; it's too dangerous for you there."

Xuan Zi said to Huo Yuhao and the others that he did not want to repeat the previous tragedy.

With only him and Jiang Yi present, he could more easily escape.

Chapter 163 Valley of Life, Sacrifice

Xuan Zi led Huo Yuhao and the other two directly to the outside of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Thirty seconds later, he returned to the Mixed Zone.

"Let's go, let's go to that place you mentioned."

"The Core Zone is full of Soul Beast over ten thousand years old, and there are even more powerful beings. Stay close to me and don't leave," Xuan Zi earnestly instructed.

"Understood." Jiang Yi nodded solemnly.

Subsequently, under Xuan Zi's protection, the two headed towards the Core Zone of Star Dou Great Forest.

Throughout the journey, Jiang Yi did not use his Spiritual Perception Domain, because the Soul Beast here already possessed intelligence and had extremely keen senses.

If you probe indiscriminately, you'll be easily detected, which will lead to even bigger problems.

However, even without using his Spiritual Perception Domain, he could sense the fluctuations of powerful Life Force, thus bypassing those powerful Soul Beast.

Having lived for so many years, Xuan Zi had naturally visited the Core Zone many times.

With Jiang Yi pointing the way, they traveled quite smoothly. If they really couldn't avoid it, Xuan Zi would simply use his aura to scare them away.

To avoid conflict with them, firstly, to avoid making a scene, and secondly, to avoid killing too many Soul Beast.

Walking so carefully within the Star Dou Great Forest naturally slows down the pace considerably.

They set off around seven in the morning and didn't arrive at the central part of the Core Zone until the afternoon.

There was still some distance to the area that Jiang Yi had sensed.

"Don't linger here. Let's keep going. The Core Zone at night is no joke," Xuan Zi said cautiously.

Seeing Xuan Zi's caution, Jiang Yi felt that he had learned from the two unexpected incidents.

He naturally had no objection to this; he also wanted to finish the battle quickly and fuse his Fourth Soul Ring as soon as possible.

The two continued forward, surrounded by several extremely powerful life fluctuations. Jiang Yi, with Xuan Zi in tow, slipped past them.

They finally arrived at their destination.

Jiang Yi and Xuan Zi were standing on the top of a bottomless abyss, looking down but unable to see the ground at all.

"Xuan Zi, those Tree of Life live somewhere deep below this valley," Jiang Yi explained.

Xuan Zi's eyes gleamed, but he didn't sense any Soul Beast below. However, he believed that Jiang Yi wouldn't make baseless accusations.

"Alright, in that case, let's go down now."

Xuan Zi grabbed Jiang Yi's shoulder and jumped down into the deep valley below.

Their bodies were enveloped in a yellow light, and Jiang Yi felt no sensation of falling.

At such a great height, it took them a full ten minutes to fall to the bottom.

Of course, they weren't falling normally; it was the process of Xuan Zi accelerating his fall. Otherwise, jumping from such a height wouldn't have resulted in such a rapid descent to the bottom.

Enveloped in yellow energy, the two landed steadily at the bottom of the valley.

They landed in a place surrounded by rocks, with a stream flowing slowly not far ahead.

This place doesn't resemble a place where the Tree of Life lives at all.

Jiang Yi's eyes shone with a blue light as he once again adjusted his life frequency, sensing the location of the Tree of Life.

"Go this way," Jiang Yi said, pointing to a road to the left.

Xuan Zi naturally nodded and followed him forward.

After arriving at this place, there didn't seem to be many Soul Beast fluctuations around.

So the two of them didn't need to slow down and quickly walked forward.

Before long, another valley came into view, but this one was not as deep, only about a kilometer deep.

"A valley within a valley, no wonder the Tree of Life hasn't been discovered for so many years."

The Tree of Life lived in such a secluded place made Jiang Yi sigh in amazement.

Without the Living Carving Knife and Electrolux's help, he would never have been able to find this place.

"Xuan Zi, let's continue. The Tree of Life is in this valley."

Xuan Zi snapped out of his surprise, nodded immediately, and led Jiang Yi downwards.

He was also very curious about where the Tree of Life, which had disappeared from the mainland for so many years, lived.

"It's getting closer." Jiang Yi felt an increasingly powerful Life Force.

They reached the bottom of the valley once more, and although it was night, the lush vegetation was still clearly visible.

An incredibly rich life force rushed towards them, and both of them felt as if they were being watched by countless eyes.

"These plants are actually Soul Beast?" Xuan Zi immediately realized, looking at the lush vegetation around him in shock.

Such lush vegetation, it turns out, is all made up of Soul Beast!

Although extremely weak, it possesses a high degree of spirituality and can even monitor them.

Jiang Yi glanced at the vegetation and was quite surprised. These plants, like the Blue Silver Grass he controlled, possessed considerable spirituality.

"The Tree of Life here probably possesses the same ability as me, able to use the surrounding plants to monitor things."

However, Jiang Yi wasn't too worried. The reason he dared to come looking for these Tree of Life was that Xuan Zi was by his side.

Another reason for his confidence is that, based on his previous achievements, all Plant Soul Beast would have a 50% favorability rating towards him.

In addition, given his ability to accelerate the growth of living beings, he believed that no Plant Soul Beast would harbor any ill will towards him.

Jiang Yi slowly walked forward, Xuan Zi hurriedly tried to stop him, as this place was really strange.

He felt it best not to act rashly, lest something go wrong.

Unexpectedly, as Jiang Yi took a step forward, the dense plants instinctively moved to the sides of the road to avoid him.

"This..." Xuan Zi was quite shocked upon seeing this scene.

In all his years of life, he had never seen Soul Beast voluntarily give way to a human.

Following Jiang Yi, he felt his understanding was constantly being refreshed.

"Xuan Zi, please follow me inside. Do not harm any Soul Beast; there will be no danger."

Jiang Yi turned to Xuan Zi and reminded him.

After Xuan Zi recovered, he followed behind Jiang Yi.

Wherever it went, all the Plant Soul Beast made way for it.

The further you go, the stronger the Life Force becomes, and a narrow entrance appears ahead.

The entrance was blocked in the center by a huge flower, which was entirely purple and trumpet-shaped, with five blue lines on its body.

"This is Hypnotic Trumpet Flower, but what's with the blue markings on it? Shouldn't it usually be red?"

Jiang Yi immediately recognized the species of the gatekeeper Soul Beast: the Hypnotic Trumpet Flower, a Soul Beast that emits hypnotic sounds.

Normally, she would hypnotize hostile Soul Beast or humans into sleep or lure them to her side, then swallow them whole.

Furthermore, its hypnotic sounds are very subtle, blending into other surrounding sounds without the user's awareness, ultimately hypnotizing them.

It can be said that she kills without leaving a trace; under normal circumstances, it is difficult for anyone other than a spirit-type Soul Master to detect her attacks.

Ten thousand years ago, the Hypnotic Trumpet Flower only increased its size. Ten thousand years later, its size remained basically unchanged, and red patterns began to appear on its body.

Each red line represents ten thousand years, but this morning glory has blue lines on its body.

There were also five, which appeared to be 50,000-year-old Soul Beast.

"Please come in, guest." A charming and elegant voice suddenly rang out.

Jiang Yi and Xuan Zi both looked at the Hypnotic Trumpet Flower at the same time; it was obvious that the voice had come from her.

"Since a 50,000-year-old Soul Beast can already speak, it's clear that the concentration of Life Force is extremely important to Soul Beast."

Jiang Yi couldn't help but sigh.

After speaking, the Hypnotic Trumpet Flower's enormous body began to slowly move, revealing a passage that allowed Jiang Yi and Xuan Zi to pass through.

Jiang Yi didn't hesitate and led them directly through the chosen passage.

This passage isn't very long, but walking through it feels like entering a completely different world.

An intensely concentrated Life Force formed in the sky, with a bluish mist condensing and refusing to dissipate.

Under the moonlight, the lush Plant Soul Beast stretched their bodies.
