225: Wood Source Heavenly Book

In less than ten breaths, three figures had already arrived at the Endless Abyss.

Hong Ning and Xiao Zhuo stood in the air, while Cao Yunqing was steadily supported by Xiao Zhuo’s Divine Thought. At this moment, Cao Yunqing’s face was ashen, his breath weak, and the depletion of his vital essence was even greater than Xiao Zhuo’s, with his Lifespan severely diminished.

At its core, although his Comprehension Ability was extraordinary, he did not possess an Innate Physique. His current Blood God Body was forcibly refined later through a secret method of the Blood Palace, and compared to Xiao Zhuo’s Innate Blood God Body, it was like comparing clouds and mud. If not for his terrible luck this time, being caught in the battle between two terrifying existences and exhausting all his life-saving trump cards, even Xiao Zhuo might not have been able to capture him, let alone plant a Soul Locking Seal.

“With this action, the Karma between you and I is settled,” Hong Ning’s narrow eyes swept over Xiao Zhuo, her tone as indifferent as ice.

Xiao Zhuo’s expression was respectful.

Upon her return this time, Hong Ning once again revealed a glimpse of her strength, astonishing him even more.

This woman’s origin was a mystery; she was both an old acquaintance of the Tree God and respectfully called the Lord of the Myriad Ages Evergreen Realm, Evergreen True Immortal, “Master.”

She was clearly suppressed by the Evergreen True Immortal in that Small World for countless years, yet she still held respect for him.

Previously, the Tree God was merely killed by an Incarnation of his will just for calling Evergreen by name, which showed how fanatical she was about Evergreen True Immortal.

Xiao Zhuo had witnessed the power displayed in the battle between Evergreen and Blood Heaven’s projections, which had long surpassed that of an ordinary True Immortal.

And this Hong Ning, her unfathomable depth was also far beyond what an ordinary True Immortal could compare to; her Realm was very likely far beyond Xiao Zhuo’s imagination.

Such a person still maintained respect for a “Master” who had suppressed her for an unknown number of years.

The hidden secrets within were intriguing.

Regardless, this woman was a powerful ally.

Even if he used up a favor this time, he absolutely could not become estranged from her and had to find a way to maintain the connection.

Xiao Zhuo’s calculations were set. His understanding of the Realms above Immortals made him curb the arrogance he once harbored due to possessing the panel.

After a brief thought, Xiao Zhuo clasped his fists, lowering his stance even further: “Many thanks for Senior’s assistance this time. Junior has no way to repay you. However, Junior knows that Senior is a wood-attribute Immortal, and Junior once stumbled upon an ancient scripture that might be beneficial to Senior.”

With that, a wisp of Divine Sense, carrying a piece of information, flowed directly towards Hong Ning.

A slight ripple appeared in Hong Ning’s eyes. She initially intended to refuse, but as soon as her Divine Sense touched the first few words of the information, her body suddenly trembled. She immediately closed her eyes and focused, absorbing the entire piece of information into her Sea of Consciousness.

After a long while, she opened her eyes, her gaze towards Xiao Zhuo complex and unreadable.

Hong Ning had always been proud and aloof, disliking forming connections, with very few acquaintances.

If not for truly owing Xiao Zhuo an immense Karma, she would never have agreed to act for him once.

She originally thought that this cross-Realm reception would be enough to clear the favor, but she never expected Xiao Zhuo to turn around and present such a generous gift, leaving her momentarily at a loss.

Xiao Zhuo, observing her expression, laughed heartily: “Senior! Junior takes his leave! Thank you for your trouble this time, may we meet again if fate allows!”

After speaking, he bowed deeply, a flash of blood light enveloped Cao Yunqing, and he then fled in the direction of the Blood Abyss Market.

Hong Ning gazed at the vanishing crimson escape light, standing silently.

Her fingertip moved slightly, intending to erase the mark on the back of Xiao Zhuo’s hand, but ultimately she refrained.

A barely audible sigh dissipated in the wind, and her figure suddenly vanished—the one who had crossed the Realm sea and brought Xiao Zhuo back was merely a Clone!

Xiao Zhuo, carrying Cao Yunqing, arrived at the Blood Abyss Market in an instant with his crimson escape light.

The market was as it was, only the Body Integration Stage Cultivator guarding it had changed faces.

With Xiao Zhuo’s current cultivation and status, he naturally didn’t care about these things.

Approaching the market, he did not enter through the main gate. With a slight movement of his Divine Thought, a teleportation brought him and Cao Yunqing back to his own small courtyard.

After tossing a pile of sacred healing Medicinal Pills to Cao Yunqing, he walked directly into the secret chamber.

He first sensed the silver petal mark on the back of his left hand, which had already faded, and seeing that it was indeed still there, he smiled leisurely.

The scripture he had just given to Hong Ning was a book contained within his origin divine weapon, named the Wood Origin Heavenly Book. It was a scripture that came with the origin divine weapon itself, expounding on the mysteries of the wood element. Although it did not contain specific Divine Abilities or techniques, it was absolutely of great help in comprehending wood-element Dao Principles.

Xiao Zhuo had his own The Way of Freedom, and he only understood a little about this before no longer paying attention to it. But for a wood-attribute powerhouse like Hong Ning, this was an immense Opportunity.

This time, not only did Hong Ning not repay her debt of gratitude to him, but she owed him even more. This was the grace of enlightenment.

Inside the secret chamber, Xiao Zhuo sat cross-legged, calming his thoughts, and the panel appeared before his eyes.

Attribute Points (Middle Thousand Worlds): 13451542.

Examining the panel, Xiao Zhuo’s thoughts raced.

Although there were constant killings and treasure hunts within the Myriad Ages Evergreen Realm, he had no time to focus on adding Attribute Points.

It wasn’t until the eve of the Realm’s collapse that he began, barely pushing his Realm to Mahayana Peak, but his comprehension of Laws had fallen behind.

He had to quickly make up for his shortcomings to match this rapidly rising Realm.

The Quasi-Immortal Realm was a special stage where Mahayana Peak Cultivators comprehended the path to Immortal Ascension and laid their Immortal Foundation.

Once one Breakthrough to Quasi-Immortal, Immortal Ascension in the future was a certainty, barring any accidents.

Xiao Zhuo’s Breakthrough Opportunity came precisely from observing the Dao Rhyme and Dao Principles from the earth-shattering battle between Evergreen and Blood Heaven’s projections.

Both had already comprehended their own Dao Principles: Evergreen’s Dao Rhyme was ethereal and natural, containing deep killing intent;

Blood Heaven’s was supremely dominant and unparalleled.

In terms of the purity of Dao Principles, Blood Heaven seemed even better.

Witnessing such powerhouses all using Dao Principles as their Immortal Foundation, Xiao Zhuo no longer hesitated.

His The Way of Freedom was already what his heart desired; although it was still rudimentary and not perfect, it was enough to point the way.

Precisely for this reason, he was determined to obtain the myriad laws source seed that the Tree God had traded.

With his thoughts clear, Xiao Zhuo’s consciousness sank into the White Mist Space, beginning to add Attribute Points and deduce the Laws he had comprehended.

In the Mahayana Realm, the strength of Laws was a world of difference.

An ordinary Quasi-Immortal at least had one Law reach Perfection to Breakthrough to Quasi-Immortal based on that perfected Law. Xiao Zhuo, however, possessed a rudimentary Dao Principle, which was far stronger than basing it on a Law, but he still could not give up on comprehending Laws.

Although Middle Thousand Worlds Laws could only leverage World Power of Middle Thousand Worlds, they were universally applicable in many Middle Thousand Worlds.

Xiao Zhuo had a profound Foundation of several Small World Laws reaching Perfection, and he knew that comprehending Middle Thousand Worlds Laws offered infinite benefits and was crucial for future comprehension of Great Thousand World Laws, so it could not be underestimated.

As Xiao Zhuo immersed himself in Law deduction, the secret chamber fell silent.

In the guest room, Cao Yunqing silently swallowed Medicinal Pills and began his difficult healing process.

Inside and outside the small courtyard, there was complete tranquility.

However, the issuance of a decree deep within the Blood Palace was like a giant stone thrown into a lake, stirring up monstrous waves throughout the entire Blood Demon Realm...
