Chapter 1239: Chapter 1243: You Will Be Astonished!

“Speaking of it, this spell wasn’t created by me; I acquired it from a Secret Realm. It’s considered my fortuitous opportunity…”

Jun Tianding briefly introduced the origin of the Spirit Wood Art to Xia Liu.

He hoped Xia Liu wouldn’t overthink it.

With Xia Liu’s intelligence, he should be able to guess it.

The original aura contained on the scroll was far purer than his own.

“I can feel it; receiving the Spirit Wood Art today, Xia Liu will remember it forever!”

“Ha! I pass this opportunity to you, hoping you’ll amaze me.”

“Rest assured, Senior Jun, I will definitely amaze you, definitely!”

Xia Liu pledged confidently.

“Good! My time is limited. I hope to see you achieve the third rank of Wood Origin at the last moment.”

Under the black robe, Jun Tianding’s eyes narrowed slightly, a crooked smile forming at the corners of his mouth, pondering unknown thoughts.

After Jun Tianding left, Xia Liu’s Divine Sense enveloped the entire Changle Peak.

Everything on the peak imprinted into his Sea of Consciousness.

Upon careful observation, it seemed there was nothing as astonishing as Jun Tianding had mentioned.

Xia Liu was at a loss for words.

Instead of immediately checking out that Spiritual Spring pool, he entered the cave.

First, he studied the Spirit Wood Art.

Entering the inner layer of the cave, sitting cross-legged on a clean stone slab, Xia Liu opened the scroll in his hands.

The beams of light shooting down from the cave ceiling happened to fall on the scroll.

Then, the words on the scroll began to change. Among the glows of fluorescence, Xia Liu’s expression began fluctuating from initial calmness.

This Spirit Wood Art could be said to capture the fortune of heaven and earth, shaping its own tower of solitude.

The Spirit Wood Art consisted of three layers in total.

In essence, it was not a true spell.

Rather, it was an auxiliary secondary spell.

Xia Liu’s spell was the Five Elements Mantra.

This Wood Spirit Art couldn’t cover it.

Its existence merely assisted in strengthening and enhancing the Wood Origin within.

Observing the stages of cultivation of the Spirit Wood Art closely.

The first stage is Wood Origin Becoming Energy, adeptly converting Wood Origin into Wooden Spirit Energy.

The second stage, the Tree Grows to Shade.

At this stage, the Wooden Spirit Energy has a massive Force of Life.

It can rejuvenate withered trees and revive dry grasses.

The third stage is the Growing of a Forest.

In this stage, the Wood Origin achieves mastery.

Casting Wooden Spirit Energy freely can nurture the growth of living plants within the surroundings.

This defies nature.

Xia Liu is now considered in the second stage, but in terms of the true Rank of Origin, his Wood Origin is only in the first rank.

His Wooden Spirit Energy is exceptionally pure, rejuvenating severed veins and mending shattered bones.

However, he has not yet achieved the regeneration of flesh from bare bones.

If Xia Liu’s guess is correct, regenerating flesh from bones is at least achievable only by a peak Wood Origin.

If one’s body possesses a peak Wood Origin.

As long as the Wooden Spirit Energy does not dissipate, the body may reach an Immortal state.

Thinking of these, Xia Liu felt conflicted.

After pondering for a long time, he shook his head, dismissing all distractions from his mind.

He carefully studied that Spirit Wood Art had a significant chance of enhancing the Wood Origin.

With such an opportunity in hand, he must seize it.

If one day he refines the Wood Origin to its peak, it will be an ultimate trump card against the heavens.

Xia Liu slowly closed his eyes, memorizing the Spirit Wood Art completely in his mind.

After several hours, he memorized the Spirit Wood Art backward fluently.

Because the Spirit Wood Art was written in the script of the Cultivator Era.

After thoroughly understanding the Spirit Wood Art, Xia Liu grew even more excited.

He had not noticed before that.

After each stage of the Spirit Wood Art, there is a Spirit Art!

All are performed using Wooden Spirit Energy.

Three stages, three Spirit Arts.

Xia Liu committed this all to memory.

He is not eager to cultivate the Spirit Art just yet.

Once he advances Spirit Wood Art to the third stage, perhaps his Wood Origin within might also elevate to the second or third rank.

Xia Liu immersed himself in cultivation for countless days.

Every morning, when the sun was just about to rise, Xia Liu would sit in meditation at the mountain peak.

Circulating Spirit Wood Art, absorbing a special kind of aura from heaven and earth into himself.

This aura isn’t explained much.

Xia Liu understood it like this.

In that moment when the sun rises, all things in heaven and earth awaken simultaneously.

In that moment, the world generates a rich Life Force directly.

These forces are emitted from all things upon awakening.

They linger in the world for no more than three seconds.

And every day Xia Liu seizes this three-second window to absorb the fleeting Life Force.

Naturally, he cannot absorb the complete Life Force of the whole world.

He can only do his utmost, absorbing as much as possible.

After all, the presence of Life Force is too short, so he must guard each moment every day.

Though it’s tough, Xia Liu endures it all.

Because he feels that after absorbing the Life Force emitted by all things, the forces entering his body can trigger the Five Elements Wheel to appear.

The intangible Life Force is absorbed entirely into the slots of the wheel.

Subsequently, Xia Liu discovered that the green slot representing the Wood Origin surprisingly increased by a tiny bit.

It’s just a sliver, but Xia Liu saw hope.

As long as he persists, combined with the Spirit Wood Art.

Advancing the Wood Origin to the second rank won’t be far in the future!

In the next half-month.

Xia Liu sat in meditation at the mountain peak every dawn.

After absorbing the Life Force of all things, he would return to the cave.

Circulating Spirit Wood Art, he tempered the Wooden Spirit Energy within himself, continuously strengthening it.

During free time, he wandered other places within the Immeasurable Sect.

As for Changle Peak.

After Jun Tianding’s warning, no disciples dared to approach within three miles.

During this period, Xia Liu also went to inspect that dried-up Spiritual Spring.

In fact, it wasn’t entirely dried up.

At least there were Spiritual Energy fluctuations within the pool’s water.

Though weak, it constantly emanated.

The Spiritual Energy kept flowing in from the earth veins.

Xia Liu’s Divine Sense couldn’t explore its furthest depths.

It was evident from this that the earthly vein aura and Spiritual Springs recorded in the Cultivator Era were indeed accurate.

Soaking his body in the Spiritual Spring.

Xia Liu could feel as if he was completely enveloped by Spiritual Energy.

However, with Inner Spirit Energy being thin, even before he circulated his Cultivation Technique, it had already been completely absorbed.

To have the spring water filled with Spiritual Energy again would take five days.

After learning his lesson the first time, Xia Liu no longer absorbed the Spiritual Energy from the spring water.

Instead, he let it soak his body.

This way, better nourishment is provided, increasing the chance of the body advancing if the opportunity arises.

Xia Liu had gone through something similar before.

Judging from the strength of his body now, enduring a powerful strike of the thirteenth layer of Qi Cultivation wouldn’t result in significant injury.

His physical body transcends two levels beyond the Internal Cultivation Rank.

Combining his physical body with the Inner Spirit Energy, he could easily withstand the pressure of the fourteenth layer of Qi Cultivation.

Regarding the fifteenth layer of Qi Cultivation…

Xia Liu indeed finds it a bit challenging to contend with.

If he were to reveal all his trump cards, Xia Liu still would not fear, and might even have a chance to obliterate his opponent.
