Chapter 107 Harvest
Rumble!
Having devoured the demonic fetus, the World Tree suddenly swelled, its branches supporting the void, its trunk stretching across heaven and earth, its roots connecting endless dimensions.
Runes swirled around it, the Dao and reason intertwined, giving rise to various laws of heaven and earth, primordial energy cascading down like a waterfall, and the aura of the Great Dao permeating the air.
Three thousand orbs of light appeared, radiating brilliance around it, embracing it.
Around these orbs, countless points of light floated in the void, some large, some small, appearing and disappearing, mysterious and unpredictable.
"What is this?"
Gazing at the dazzling orbs of light, Feng Zichen was filled with curiosity, sending a wisp of his divine sense forward.
Upon contact with the orbs, a series of bizarre and wondrous scenes appeared before his eyes, dazzling him.
Ignoring these scenes, Feng Zichen again sent a wisp of his divine sense into the interior of the orbs.
"This is… the Great Thousand World!?"
The sight before him was so shocking that Feng Zichen couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Inside the orbs of light was a strange and vast world, with ancient and bizarre landscapes, devoid of life, a scene of primordial wilderness.
"Could these orbs and spots of light be the legendary Three Thousand Great Worlds and Billions of Small and Medium Worlds?"
Upon closer inspection, there were three thousand orbs and billions of spots of light, corresponding precisely to the Three Thousand Great Worlds and Billions of Small and Medium Worlds.
Thinking this, Feng Zichen no longer hesitated, his boundless divine sense surging forth, sweeping towards the orbs and spots of light.
Vast worlds appeared before him, each different, yet all radiating the aura of primordial chaos.
Within these worlds, space was riddled with cracks, weaving together destructive storms; the rules of heaven and earth were exposed, emanating a terrifying aura.
The chaotic energy had not yet dissipated, tearing space apart; the primordial energy had not yet separated, condensing into a mass, floating in the air; the earth had just been born, with much primordial, turbid energy still flowing.
And above the heavens, apart from the ceaseless churning of primordial pure energy, there was nothing else, no trace of the Heavenly Dao.
The entire world was completely empty, devoid of any signs of life, resembling the very beginning of creation, the birth of the world.
Looking further at the points of light, the middle-thousand worlds still retained some semblance of a world, while the smaller worlds were merely clusters of primordial energy, completely unlike any other world if not for the rules governing them.
"This World Tree truly lives up to its reputation as a Chaos Spiritual Root; it is truly wondrous, able to connect with the three thousand great worlds that are not yet fully formed."
Feng Zichen remarked with some astonishment after carefully observing the World Tree for a while.
As the World Tree grew, its power increased, extending three thousand roots that took root deep within the void, connecting with the three thousand great worlds.
Moreover, countless tendrils grew from these three thousand roots, spreading out and connecting with billions of middle and smaller worlds.
It could be seen that only a small portion of the primordial energy hanging from the World Tree flowed down; the vast majority flowed along the World Tree's roots towards the great worlds, accelerating their development.
"Alas! No wonder the World Tree grows larger, yet the amount of primordial energy it droops with decreases; so this is where the root lies." Shaking his head, Feng Zichen sighed regretfully.
This was an act in accordance with Heaven's will, greatly benefiting the evolution of the primordial world. For the Heavenly Dao, it was immensely advantageous. If Feng Zichen dared to greedily consume this primordial energy, the Heavenly Dao would not easily forgive him.
With a thought, Feng Zichen stepped forward, intending to follow the roots of the World Tree into the nascent Great Thousand World to seek some opportunity.
But just as he approached the ball of light, a terrifying aura suddenly gripped his heart. A gaze appeared in the darkness, coldly staring at him, as if he dared to take another step forward, a thunderous force would descend and kill him.
"This is…... Heavenly Dao!!!"
The overwhelming sense of death caused Feng Zichen to involuntarily stop in his tracks. His hair stood on end, and he stood frozen, afraid to move.
"Hoo..."
After standing quietly for a moment, sensing the disappearance of the Heavenly Dao's gaze, Feng Zichen hurriedly retreated until he was a sufficient distance from the ball of light before relaxing and letting out a long breath.
"The Heavenly Dao actually values the Three Thousand Great Worlds so much, even leaving a sliver of its gaze to constantly monitor this place!"
"Truly terrifying!"
"It seems that we can't go to these Three Thousand Great Worlds now!"
Gazing at the distant ball of light, Feng Zichen's face was filled with lingering fear. Facing the majesty of the Heavenly Dao, the feeling of being powerless was unpleasant.
"Sigh! They made me do all the dirty work and hard labor, and now that there's a reward, they kick me aside. Their greed is too disgusting!"
Summoning the Chaos Pearl and taking in the World Tree, which had stopped growing, Feng Zichen couldn't help but complain.
Having paid such a high price to nurture the World Tree to such a size, and finally seeing some results, the Heavenly Dao wouldn't even let him touch it. Naturally, Feng Zichen was dissatisfied.
However, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he dared not show it on his face, for fear of angering the Heavenly Dao. The higher one's cultivation, the more one understands the terrifying power of the Heavenly Dao.
"Withdraw!" Arriving before Mount Buzhou, formed from the origin of the earth, Feng Zichen suddenly waved his hand.
Rumble!
The miniature Mount Buzhou began to collapse, transforming into streams of earth-yellow light that surged into Feng Zichen's body, converging into a Dao Seal.
Instantly, a majestic power rose from his body, shaking mountains and rivers for thousands of miles.
"Such powerful divine ability!"
Sensing the power contained within the Mount Buzhou Dao Seal, Feng Zichen was shocked.
For some unknown reason, the wisp of Mount Buzhou's origin, after suppressing the demonic fetus, did not leave but instead merged with the Mount Buzhou Dao Seal.
Furthermore, during the suppression of the demonic fetus, the Buzhou Mountain Dao Seal absorbed so much of the earth's essence, its power having reached a terrifying level.
As for how strong it was, Feng Zichen couldn't describe it, because with his current strength, he was completely unable to activate this divine power.
It seemed the difference in their levels was too great, causing it to exceed Feng Zichen's comprehension; forcibly using it would likely drain him instantly.
"Buzz!"
While Feng Zichen was in shock, a yellow light suddenly flashed from the location where the demonic fetus had been suppressed, rapidly flying into the distance.
It was the innate spiritual treasure, the Earth Spirit Pearl.
"Heh, I was prepared for this!" Smiling, Feng Zichen pointed, and the Hongmeng Dao Bell and the Chaos Pearl flew out one after another, striking the Earth Spirit Pearl.
Having advanced to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Earth Spirit Pearl had acquired some sentience and naturally refused to be devoured by the Chaos Pearl, immediately putting up a fierce resistance.
Unfortunately, even though both are top-grade innate spiritual treasures, the Earth Spirit Pearl is ultimately inferior to the Primordial Dao Bell and the Chaos Pearl, especially considering it's a two-against-one situation.
Not long after, the Primordial Dao Bell suddenly erupted, knocking the Earth Spirit Pearl down. Immediately afterwards, the Chaos Pearl shone brightly, suppressing it.
