Chapter 346 The Golden Tree.
"So that's how it is!" Wu Xuan nodded slightly, indicating he understood.
"Of course, such immense power isn't easy to control. Successive Sea God Pavilion Masters have made great efforts to master the power borrowed from the Golden Tree, some even choosing to merge with it when their time was up, using all their soul power to nourish it. The Golden Tree receives this primordial soul power, thus nourishing the entire academy. This is the origin of the academy's connection with the Golden Tree." Elder Mu's expression remained calm throughout.
"Then, Teacher, will you also choose to merge with the Golden Tree in the end?" Wu Xuan asked, looking up.
"Naturally, because of the Golden Tree, the soul power on Seagod Island in my inner courtyard is several times denser than outside, making Shrek Academy's inner courtyard a sacred place for soul master cultivation. This is all thanks to the Golden Tree. It is also because of this that the Golden Tree's soul power recovery speed is very slow. Once its power is used, it will take several years or even longer for the Golden Tree to replenish the consumed soul power. As the owner of a top-tier martial soul of the light attribute, my original soul power will have a better feedback effect on the Golden Tree, and may even allow it to skip the process of accumulating power. At that time, when you are using my power to mobilize the power of the Golden Tree, even Di Tian might not be your match."
Elder Mu smiled.
Wu Xuan was shocked upon hearing this, followed by deep gratitude. Elder Mu's dedication to the entire Shrek Academy was truly admirable.
"Alright, enough of the small talk. Calm down, and now I will guide you to comprehend the power of the Golden Tree!" Elder Mu slowly walked to a futon and gestured for Wu Xuan to sit cross-legged.
Wu Xuan nodded slightly, and the instant he sat down, an extremely dense layer of golden energy emanated from Elder Mu's body, its power so strong that it distorted the surrounding space.
Drawn by this strange power, Wu Xuan and Elder Mu's eyes slowly closed simultaneously, as if they had entered some peculiar state. Unbeknownst to them, the entire room, from the walls to the floor, began to silently radiate a soft golden light.
At this moment, the floor and walls seemed to transform into crystal, sparkling and translucent. Then, fine lines, like the veins of a plant, spread from the crystal, transforming the entire room into a radiant golden world.
In this state, Wu Xuan could even vaguely see the core of the Golden Tree, though the fine net woven with shimmering blue light at its core seemed somewhat out of place with the rest of the world.
Blue Silver Grass? Is this the true form of Ah Yin? Tang Buddha is truly cunning, using this slow, insidious method to keep the Golden Tree's will from being eroded.
At this moment, although Wu Xuan mocked Tang Buddha, he did nothing.
Three days passed quietly. Suddenly, Wu Xuan's eyes snapped open, and in that instant, under the influence of the Golden Tree's power, his dark pupils turned golden. It was at this moment that Wu Xuan clearly sensed the unparalleled, immense energy within the Golden Tree.
Accompanied by a faint connection, Wu Xuan felt terrifyingly powerful. Killing a Super Douluo with a single punch would be effortless.
As Wu Xuan withdrew his spiritual power from the Golden Tree, the immense soul power instantly receded like a tide.
"You've got it under control, quite well! I'm relieved to see how skillfully you wield the Golden Tree's power. Hehe." Seeing Wu Xuan's masterful manipulation of the Golden Tree's power, Elder Mu breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
"Hehe!" Wu Xuan chuckled.
"Alright, remember these points I'm about to tell you." Elder Mu's expression suddenly turned stern. "First, the agreement between the Golden Tree and us was that its power could only be activated within the Shrek City area. Second, if the enemy isn't strong enough, the Golden Tree has the right to refuse to lend its power. Third, this core area of the Golden Tree is off-limits to anyone except the successive Sea God Pavilion Masters and their successors."
"Understood!" Wu Xuan nodded slightly.
"Hmm, you're reliable, I trust you. Any other questions? I'll answer them all today." Elder Mu patted Wu Xuan's shoulder, then slowly reclined on the chair.
"Teacher, I'm already level 80. Once I obtain the eighth ring, my soul power will likely surge to level 85, or even higher. Then, combined with that 100,000-year-old pure spiritual attribute Evil Eye Tyrant, I won't be far from becoming a level 90 Title Douluo. After much thought, I've decided to try using the Yin-Yang complementary method to construct my second soul core." Wu Xuan's eyes were firm, filled with an undeniable aura.
"Hehe, as expected, I knew you would take this path." Elder Mu smiled, as if he had anticipated it.
"Then, teacher, what do you think my chances of success are?" Wu Xuan asked.
"Don't rush that question. I want to ask you a question: what do you think of the Golden Dragon bloodline contained within Wang Qiu'er?" Elder Mu smiled slightly, seemingly waiting for Wu Xuan's reaction.
"Golden Dragon bloodline! Well, everyone has their own destiny. Like what Qian Gu Ming said, their ancestor's martial soul was originally just an ordinary stick, but by chance, it signed a contract with the naturally born Demon-Slaying Dragon. Then, through the Demon-Slaying Dragon's fusion, the ordinary stick martial soul transformed into the Panlong Stick, one of the top martial souls. This sounds far-fetched, but it's probably true."
"Wang Qiu'er's ancestors may have also obtained some incredible dragon treasure by chance, thus changing their bloodline and gaining the possibility of inheriting the Golden Dragon martial soul. But Wang Qiu'er's family was much luckier than Qian Gu's family, otherwise only Wang Qiu'er would have inherited the Golden Dragon martial soul." Wu Xuan thought for a moment and casually made up some stories. He knew that Elder Mu had a Dragon Core, which was crucial for condensing the second soul core. Even with the Hurricane Core, Wu Xuan wanted to add another layer of insurance.
"You lad, your analysis makes a lot of sense! The truth might really be pretty much as you said." Old Mu nodded repeatedly, seemingly very satisfied with Wu Xuan's analysis.
"Good boy, back to our previous topic, it's almost impossible for ordinary humans to complete the Yin-Yang complementarity cultivation method, because their bodies simply can't withstand it. Even with a body full of high-quality soul bones, it's far from enough. Unless... unless that human's physical body is strong to a certain degree, and they possess an extremely powerful bloodline." Old Mu gently patted Wu Xuan's head and said.
