Seed of Life
In fact, Xu Xingyu did not personally intend to become Mu En's disciple. However, considering her own arrangements for the Shrek Academy, she felt it was necessary to become Mu En's disciple to win over the hearts and minds of the Shrek people.
However, Gu Yuena still values her status as Xu Xingyu's teacher, so this matter still requires the other party's permission to proceed.
Although, given Gu Yuena's personality, she would likely need to coax the other person a little more, and only after being drained dry all night would she be willing to accept him.
Thinking of the many embarrassing nights he had spent, Xu Xingyu shivered involuntarily, and then his resolve to become stronger strengthened, otherwise he would be the one being dominated in the future.
As a man, this is absolutely unacceptable!
Thinking of this, Xu Xingyu began to run his skills with all his strength, and began to swallow a large amount of the surrounding heaven and earth energy.
This made Mu En, who was protecting him from the side, marvel at how domineering the speed at which the other party absorbed energy was!
It's worth noting that even the cultivation of some Titled Douluo can cause such a huge commotion!
When Xu Xingyu absorbed the energy of the surrounding world, a vortex of condensed energy began to form around Xu Xingyu, and helped the other party absorb the energy of the golden ancient tree for himself.
This kid is clearly only a Soul Ancestor, but his energy capacity has already surpassed that of an ordinary Titled Douluo.
This made Mu En begin to doubt whether letting the other party cultivate in the dense root area of Golden Ancient Tree was actually a good thing.
At this rate of energy absorption, Mu En a month, Moon seriously suspects that even if the Golden Ancient Tree isn't completely drained, its remaining energy will be minimal.
Mu En planned to wait until the other party recovered from his cultivation state and then have a serious talk with him, telling him not to absorb the power of the Golden Ancient Tree so recklessly.
It's not that Mu En is stingy; the main reason is that the Golden Ancient Tree is Shrek Academy's biggest trump card. Back when facing Di Tian, Mu En was only able to barely defeat Di Tian, along with Du Bisou, thanks to the Golden Ancient Tree's enhancement.
If the Golden Ancient Tree truly runs out of energy and withers, it would be equivalent to Shrek losing their greatest trump card.
However, after observing for a long time, Mu En noticed something was amiss. Why didn't he sense any reaction from the Golden Ancient Tree?
Absorbing such a large amount of energy at once can easily displease the Golden Ancient Tree, causing it to instinctively start competing with you for energy.
However, the Golden Ancient Tree not only did not do such a thing, but it also seemed to automatically help the other party to gather energy, so that Xu Xingyu could better absorb this energy.
If we must avoid using metaphors, it's like a fanatic encountering their god, willing to risk everything without hesitation.
Just as Mu En was still having some existential doubts, Xu Xingyu also encountered a bizarre incident.
Not long after entering a meditative state, Xu Xingyu's consciousness inexplicably arrived in a golden space. Even more strangely, there was a faint ball of light swirling around her in front of her.
The ball of light seemed to have met a savior as soon as Xu Xingyu entered this space, and began to excitedly circle around him.
Since Xu Xingyu didn't understand what the other party wanted to do, she could only take the initiative to communicate with them using her Spiritual Power.
In response, the ball of light actively connected its Spiritual Power with Xu Xingyu, allowing the other party to understand its thoughts without any hindrance.
From this ball of light, Xu Xingyu learned that it was actually the consciousness of the Golden Ancient Tree, but due to the oppression of a certain God King, it had never dared to condense its own intelligence.
However, a Xu Xingyu Star Lord had always been resentful of that God King recommended Xu Xingyu to the Golden Ancient Tree, saying that the other party could help him make it no longer affected by that God King.
The strongest evidence is that a few years ago, the other party forced those two Parasite to withdraw from Douluo in the Far North, thus allowing his authority as the Star Lord to be fully restored.
When the Golden Ancient Tree first sensed Xu Xingyu's presence, it trusted the Star Lord's judgment even more.
According to the Golden Ancient Tree's perception Xu Xingyu possessed God Level aura far more powerful than that of a certain unscrupulous God King, and he was also surrounded by countless streams of luck.
Even the Emperor Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest doesn't possess as much fortune power as Xu Xingyu in the entire Douluo to gather an equal amount of fortune power.
If the Golden Ancient Tree weren't relatively simple-minded, it would surely have cursed, "Is this some kind of cosmic child from somewhere?"
This made the Golden Ancient Tree naturally close to Xu Xingyu, and it made it determined to keep this powerful ally.
Upon learning about the little guy's thoughts and past experiences, one couldn't help but sigh, "Being Child of Nature hasn't been easy for you; you've been sold off by two different bosses in a row."
"I personally have no problem with you, and you can be my subordinate, but how can you guarantee your loyalty to me?"
Upon hearing this, the light orb did not immediately transmit its thoughts, but instead made its own choice through action.
A green-gold ball of light separated from the consciousness of the Golden Ancient Tree and, guided by it, came to Xu Xingyu.
After the light faded, Xu Xingyu could see clearly what was in front of her: it was a seed, the Life-bound Seed of the Golden Ancient Tree.
I thought it would give me a branch or ask me to make a pact with it using Divine Artifact oath, but it actually gave me its own life-bound seed.
As we all know Plant-type Soul Beast leave behind seeds after they perish, and once those seeds grow, the Soul Beast is considered to have been completely resurrected.
The so-called "Life-bound Seed" is the seed that contains the most primordial power of that Plant-type Soul Beast, and it contains a part of that Plant-type Soul Beast's will and soul.
Simply put, these are the seeds most likely to grow safely; they are the most precious seeds of every plant.
By entrusting this seed to Xu Xingyu, the Golden Ancient Tree was essentially handing over its lifeline. If one day the Golden Ancient Tree betrayed Xu Xingyu, it could destroy the seed, severely injuring it and then wiping it out completely.
Faced with the Golden Ancient Tree's sincere gesture, Xu Xingyu sighed and reluctantly accepted the gift. She then began to absorb and refine the Life-bound Seed.
During this process, Xu Xingyu unconsciously stopped her own cultivation and began to carefully sense the Power of Life contained in this Seed of Life from the contemporary Child of Nature of Douluo Star.
Outside, Mu En exclaimed in surprise, "Why did this kid stop? Wait, what's going on?!?!?"
