Extra 1

After absorbing the essence, Shan Heyuan grew rapidly, growing two hundred meters in just one month, reaching a height of over five hundred meters.

His roots extend from Zhewu City and have now grown to the Three Nine Sect.

Seeing the current situation, the various sects urgently sent a second and third batch of supplies.

Besides the major sects, smaller sects have also started sending supplies here.

Some of the more powerful individuals also sent him gifts.

Realm Spirit, familiar with the Principle of Space, would sometimes come over to chat with him. After hearing him praise the cultivation world for their united efforts in disaster relief, she wrinkled her nose and said, "You don't need to be too grateful. They sent you supplies for good deeds, and Heavenly Dao remembers it."

Shan Heyuan smiled, "Focus on actions, not intentions. As long as everyone is genuinely doing good deeds and saving the world, there's no need to be overly concerned about what people are thinking."

Realm Spirit said, "I just think you're too grateful to them."

Shan Heyuan: "I have received real benefits, and I should indeed thank everyone."

The Realm Spirit looked at him. "You are a human being who is inherently good."

Shan Heyuan smiled, "My kindness isn't pure kindness either, because kindness can go further than evil."

After exchanging a few words, Realm Spirit's gaze fell on Shen Duheng: "He's still not awake?"

Shan Heyuan: "It'll be soon. He fought Ji Li during his Tribulation Transcendence and suffered a severe deficiency. He needs to sleep for a while to recuperate and replenish the Spiritual Power he didn't absorb. How are things outside?"

"Our Spirit Jade Palace is doing well. Everyone knows that there is hope in the cultivation world, and there are very few troublemakers now. In addition, with Wunuo Grain and other spiritual items, cultivators can barely manage to cultivate, so they don't have to do anything else."

That's really good.

"Your Sword Reverence Sect is not bad either. The people of the Sword Reverence Sect welcomed Lin Ji and Sheng Chao back, and made Lin Ji the senior disciple and acting sect leader again. Now he is Sword Reverence Sect has been swept away. It is already somewhat like the reforms you made back then."

"That's great news."

"There's good news everywhere outside, but what about here? How long will it take you to mature?"

"It would take a hundred years," Shan Heyuan said with a smile. "It's incredibly difficult for a spirit tree to grow, but I'm confident that the cultivation world won't perish; it will be reborn."

"A century is nothing to us. I'll wait for your good news then."

"Just wait."

Having gathered the resources of the entire cultivation world, the Heaven-Supporting Tree that Shan Heyuan transformed into clearly wouldn't need a hundred years to break through its "shell."

In the third year, Shan Heyuan could feel that the branch, which was more than 3,000 meters tall, had touched something invisible.

His branches were bent under the weight and could no longer grow upwards.

Faced with this situation, he tried his best to reach towards the oppressive area.

As a Heaven-Supporting Tree in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, breaking through this space is not too difficult.

If any plant on Earth can break a hard rock, there's no reason why he can't.

After growing for more than seven months, a thin crack suddenly appeared on his branch, and the complete Heavenly Dao inside his Dantian Small World suddenly connected with the complete Heavenly Dao outside.

Immediately afterwards, Shan Heyuan abruptly withdrew his domain, connecting the Heavenly Dao of the cultivation world with the Heavenly Dao outside.

Connection successful!

Although it was just a tiny crack, barely visible to the naked eye, and a very weak connection, they still succeeded.

This is just the beginning. Sooner or later, they will create an even bigger gap, allowing the Heavenly Dao of this world to be completely connected with the Heavenly Dao of the outside world.

However, this may take a very long time, perhaps thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Once they find a method, they won't need to rush.

The instant the connection was established, Shen Duheng, standing beneath the tree, suddenly opened his eyes. He was awakened from his slumber by the shockwaves emanating from the Heavenly Dao.

Shan Heyuan sensed it immediately; the spirit emerged from the Heaven-Supporting Tree: "You're awake? We succeeded."

Shen Duheng opened his arms and hugged him. "Thank you for your hard work, Heyuan."

Shan Heyuan hugged Shen Duheng tightly, his eyes reddening. "I have not failed you."

Chapter 79 Extra 1

Waiting for ascension is a wonderful thing, somewhat like being admitted to a university without taking an exam. You just need to wait for the right time, and your dream university will send you the acceptance letter on time.

Shan Heyuan's ascension was a done deal; he had no interest in cultivation anymore and just wanted to do something else.

For example -- going home.

"They told me a long time ago that once I reach a certain level of cultivation, I can directly tear through space to find the coordinates of the place I traveled to and go straight home. I don't know if that's even possible now."

Shan Heyuan stood in the valley of Jingzhishan Town, muttering to himself.

He did indeed land in this place when he traveled through time.

However, at that time this place was still the territory of Black She Temple, and Black She Temple had already disappeared. The people of the Supreme Harmony Sect did not know about this matter and thought that he was just a first-time traveler.

Theoretically, he could travel from anywhere in the cultivation world to Earth, but traveling through here gives him an extra sense of security.

China believe in returning to where they came from, and he felt that crossing through from here would increase his chances of success.

Shen Duheng stood beside him. "If you're nervous, I can do it. I can pinpoint your location."

Shan Heyuan hesitated for a moment. "Never mind, I'll do it myself. I'm confident, but I'm a little nervous about returning home."

He may have traveled back in time only slightly after the time he traveled to the future, but for him, it had been thousands of years since he had been home, and he had almost forgotten the faces of his parents and brothers.

He had some doubts about whether he could find his way home if he really did travel back in time.

It should be possible, right?

Shan Heyuan took a deep breath and tightened his grip on Shen Duheng's hand. "Let's go, let's begin."

Shen Duheng turned to look at him. "Don't worry, if it goes crooked, I can fix it."

Shan Heyuan: "There won't be any 'what ifs'. I've spent many nights figuring out these coordinates."

As Bandit Cultivator and a powerful figure, Shan Heyuan possesses an extraordinary understanding of space, making it difficult for him to make a mistake.

After entering the void, they traveled through it.

A long time ago, in order to avoid Ji Li's pursuit, they hid in the void for a long time, but at that time their cultivation level was low and could not be compared with it now.

After entering the void, Shan Heyuan and Shen Duheng searched for Earth's coordinates within it.

They know this spot, but it's not easy to find.

They stayed in the void for almost half a month before finally finding Earth's coordinates.

Standing before the exit, Shen Duheng turned to Shan Heyuan and asked, "Will it be uncomfortable to stay here?"

Shan Heyuan is currently in a spirit form; his true body is still serving as Heaven-Supporting Tree world, and it is estimated that he will not be able to move for a long time to come.

Faced with Shen Duheng's concerns, Shan Heyuan shook his head. "It's alright, I don't think there's any problem."

Shen Duheng: "Then let's go out."

The two went out through a spatial rift and landed in a large mountain.

Upon seeing this mountain for the first time, Shan Heyuan immediately knew that this must be Earth, and specifically, China.

The feeling of home was so familiar.

Shan Heyuan stood there for a moment, then said to Shen Duheng, "This is it. I'm going home."

Shen Duheng: "Let's get out of the mountains first?"

Shan Heyuan: "Come, come, I'll lead the way."

The two flew through the air on swords, using an illusion to conceal their presence.

After a short while on their swords, the two saw a highway that stretched like a ribbon, cars that looked like beetles, and buildings of varying heights along the roadside.

These scenes weren't exactly beautiful, but they were very familiar to Shan Heyuan.

It even brought tears to his eyes.

I've finally returned to my beloved hometown.
