[Talent: Beast King True Body]
[Beast King True Body: You can obtain a power boost from your animal companions! No matter where you are, your animal companions will provide you with strength. The closer the distance, the better the effect. (Work hard to nurture your animal companions!)]
After selecting this talent, it immediately merged into Qi Ping's body, and he entered a state of enlightenment.
When Qi Ping woke again, he had not only mastered this talent but also gained a deeper understanding of it.
"As expected, this kind of talent heritage is like a bloodline inheritance. Although I can use it now, I know the 'what' but not the 'why.' In the future, if I want to make this talent stronger, I can only rely on my own comprehension and development!"
"Furthermore, a more critical issue is that my current Druid abilities are not like the cultivator heritages, which have a stable and rigorous system for upgrading and growing stronger. Instead, they are somewhat scattered and lack a cohesive system..."
"I still have a long way to go if I want to refine this into a cultivation and upgrade system that is perfectly suited for the cultivation world!"
"But this is already very good. With these Druid abilities, my path of immortal cultivation will be much smoother. Once my cultivator system reaches a sufficient height and I have enough understanding of the essence of cultivation and world rules, I can use that to feed back into the Druid system!"
Having understood this, Qi Ping gained more confidence in his future cultivation, and a heavy weight was lifted from his heart.
He then turned his attention to his newly mastered Beast King True Body, and a smile he could not suppress appeared on his face.
This talent was his greatest harvest from entering the Druid Heritage Sanctuary!
Out of more than twenty talents, the one he selected would naturally not be poor.
Although Qi Ping could not yet be entirely certain of how much of a boost he would receive from his animal companions, he could roughly determine that it would not be small!
Currently, among all his animal companions, the Primordial Stone Essence, Coal Ball, had already broken through to the mid-rank of the third rank, and its combat power was already extraordinary.
Then there were the Li-Fire Crow and the Hundred-Eyed Flower Demon, both of whom were on the verge of breaking through to the third rank and would do so in the near future.
In addition, the Golden Marrow Bees were about to devour the corpse of the Demon Insect King to break through to the third rank. The animal companion Qi Ping planned to contract, the Earth-Vein Ant, had already reached the third rank.
By then, with the support of so many Rank 3 animal companions, his combat power would definitely rise by a massive margin.
The only thing Qi Ping was currently unsure of was whether he could obtain the support of an entire swarm for group-contracted animal companions like the Golden Marrow Bees and Earth-Vein Ants.
If he could, wouldn't he be able to explosively expand his colony to increase the power added to his body?
However, intuition told Qi Ping that there should be certain restrictions. After all, this was evolved according to the fundamental laws of the cultivation world, and it was impossible to exceed those limitations.
"Regardless, the Beast King True Body talent is definitely not bad!"
"Next is the choice for the Shepherd of Trees talent!"
After leaving the Beast King Druid heritage space, Qi Ping immediately headed for the Jungle Druid heritage space.
In this space, Qi Ping also saw many familiar talents: Plant Growth, Plant Sovereign, Tree-Spirit Contract, and so on.
Among the talents he could choose from, perhaps because Qi Ping had already awakened the Shepherd of Trees talent, there were even more options available here, reaching over thirty!
However, after looking through them, Qi Ping felt a bit conflicted. He had taken a liking to two talents: one was the Treant Warrior he had been longing for, and the other was an extremely special passive called Earth Power!
The Treant Warrior talent spoke for itself; as the name suggested, it was used to nurture treant warriors. With this talent, Qi Ping could slowly cultivate spiritual trees like the Sun-Blaze Wood, Radiant Sun Ancient Wood, and Dark Moon Soul Wood into powerful treant warriors. The stronger the tree, the stronger the treant warrior would be.
For a cultivation world possessing all kinds of powerful spiritual trees, this was an incredibly formidable divine technique!
It essentially meant Qi Ping could nurture any kind of tree demon.
The Earth Power talent, on the other hand, was a unique passive talent.
[Earth Power: Favored by the earth. You possess extremely high comprehension and talent for the power of the earth. By drawing upon the power of the earth to enhance yourself, you can increase your strength, defense, and speed, as well as enhance the effects of your spells.]
Favored by the power of the earth!
This would allow him to achieve twice the result with half the effort in the cultivation of earth power. One must know that earth power is closely related to earth-attribute power; to some extent, earth power is a variant of the Law of Earth. After obtaining this talent, his future path of cultivation would be much smoother.
After a brief consideration, Qi Ping eventually chose Earth Power!
"Right now, I have too few powerful spiritual trees planted. The spiritual trees I have contracted are of immense use to me, and it is impossible for them to go out and take risks. Treant warriors nurtured from ordinary spiritual trees would not be very useful. So, I will wait until I have more powerful spiritual trees before choosing that talent!"
"On the other hand, the Earth Power talent can immediately accelerate my comprehension of the Law of Earth and earth-attribute spells, as well as enhance my control over earth spiritual energy!"
"Moreover, a great battle might break out underground soon. Obtaining the boost from Earth Power will be of great help for the battles that might occur in the near future!"
Once the decision was made, Qi Ping immediately began the fusion.
After spending some time, Qi Ping finally completed the comprehension and mastery of the Earth Power talent.
Upon finishing this talent, many insights regarding earth power and the Law of Earth flooded his mind. Many difficulties he had previously faced in comprehending the Law of Earth were resolved in an instant!
After completing the fusion of the two talents, Qi Ping's mind stirred, and he immediately withdrew from the Heritage Sanctuary.
As Qi Ping's consciousness returned to his physical body, an irrepressible smile appeared on his face.
"Not bad, not bad at all!"
The two talents he obtained this time were completely beyond his expectations.
After returning to his body, he first felt that he had become much more attuned to earth-attribute spiritual energy and laws.
A powerful force also surged from the earth beneath his feet, ready for him to mobilize. Qi Ping could freely add this power to his physical body, spiritual energy, or spells.
"It seems choosing the Earth Power skill was indeed the right move!"
However, compared to Earth Power, what made Qi Ping even happier was the Beast King True Body talent!
Because at this very moment, Qi Ping clearly sensed the powerful strength coming from each and every one of his animal companions!
Especially the power boost provided by Coal Ball, which seemed to have already reached the threshold of a Golden Core cultivator!
