115: Chapter 115 The Seed of the World Tree? The Leek Field of the Upper Realm

In the deepest part of the Immortal Burial Abyss, beside the ancient bronze coffin.

Deathly silence.

Except for the dripping Immortal blood, there wasn't the slightest sound on the ten-thousand-foot altar.

Lin Que's deep gaze was fixed on a strange seed at the bottom of the coffin, only the size of a fingernail, completely transparent, yet covered in withered yellow patterns.

Just by staring at it, his newly transformed Soul Transformation rank Primordial Spirit felt a slight tremor.

It was a sense of insignificance when facing the Origin of the entire world.

"System, explain the highest warning in detail."

Lin Que asked in a deep voice within his mind.

Something that could trigger a red warning from the System was definitely no ordinary item.

[Ding! Database search complete.]

[Item Name: seed of the world tree (Artificial/Withered state).]

[Source: Refined by an Upper Realm powerhouse by extracting the 'Major Thousand Worlds Origin'.]

[Ultimate Conspiracy Analysis: The Upper Realm views the Central Continent as a 'Spirit Medicine Garden'. Ten thousand years ago, the Upper Realm implanted this seed into the body of a fallen True Immortal and threw it into the Central Continent. The True Immortal's remains became the Immortal Burial Abyss. The Immortal blood and miasma are not just polluting the environment, but are acting as 'roots', subtly taking root deep within the ley lines of the Central Continent!]

[Harvesting Principle: Once a Cultivator in the Lower Realm breaks through to Soul Transformation, or living beings multiply to their limit, this seed will be activated, instantly draining all life force, Luck, and Spiritual Qi from the entire Central Continent to produce a 'World King Fruit' for the Upper Realm powerhouses to harvest!]

After listening to the System's analysis, Lin Que's expression gradually turned cold.

He finally understood why no one in the Central Continent had been able to normally break through to Soul Transformation for ten thousand years.

He also understood what roles the Heavenly Demon Cult, the Zhengdao Alliance, and even that Old Emperor of Great Qian played in this game.

"So, the tens of billions of living beings in the entire Central Continent are just fertilizer used to feed this broken seed."

"And we Cultivators are just slightly stronger leeks."

A cold arc curled at the corner of Lin Que's mouth.

Those high and mighty Immortals of the Upper Realm not only raised them like pigs but also hung the slaughtering knife over their heads long ago.

"What a pity. Today, your farm's water and electricity are cut off."

Lin Que reached out and firmly pinched that withered [seed of the world tree] with two fingers.

Buzz—!

An extremely complex Immortal dao Restriction immediately surfaced on the seed's surface, attempting to resist Lin Que's touch.

"Still trying to recognize a master?"

Lin Que sneered. His Major Achievement Demon God Body's purple-gold Qi and blood erupted. Overbearing and peerless power surged from his fingertips, directly cracking that layer of Immortal dao Restriction!

"System, wipe its factory settings! Force a binding!"

[Logic restructuring initiated—'Farm Owner' permissions forcibly transferred!]

[Operation 1: Crushing the soul brand left in the seed by the Upper Realm powerhouse (Crushed)!]

[Operation 2: Blood-binding to recognize the master, deeply binding the host's "Blood Scripture" Origin with the seed's core!]

"Ssh!"

Lin Que bit the tip of his tongue and forced out a drop of purple-gold demon blood containing all his essence, Qi, and spirit, dripping it onto the withered seed.

The seed, which was originally resisting, instantly absorbed the demon blood under the System's forced intervention.

In an instant, Lin Que felt a wonderful sense of Bloodline connection with this seed of the world tree.

He could clearly feel that this seed was extremely "hungry."

It was originally meant to sprout by sucking the Central Continent dry, but now that Lin Que had intercepted it, it lost its energy source and could wither away completely at any time.

"Hungry? Coincidentally, I like feeding things the most."

Lin Que pressed the seed against his Dantian.

Boom!

The seed merged into Lin Que's body without any hindrance, falling directly into his Dantian's Qi Sea!

At this moment, the four-colored divine demon nascent soul within Lin Que's Dantian suddenly opened its eyes, waved its small hand, and pulled the seed into its embrace.

"To sprout, ordinary Spiritual Qi isn't enough."

Lin Que looked up and surveyed his surroundings.

Thirty thousand feet beneath the Immortal Burial Abyss, it was filled with immortal fall miasma so dense it had turned liquid.

This miasma was originally formed from the flesh and blood Laws of the fallen True Immortal.

"In the eyes of others, this is a forbidden land of poisonous gas where one touch means death."

"But in my eyes, this is a warehouse full of top-tier compound fertilizer!"

Lin Que threw his arms wide. The Saber Intent of the "Blood Scripture" and "Seven Absolute Blades" merged perfectly within his Meridians.

He no longer hid or acted cautiously. He was going to pull off something big in this grave of Soul Transformation!

"System! Enable the 'Environmental Exhaust Fan' mode at maximum power!"

"Turn all the miasma in this abyss into fertilizer for the World Tree!"

[Command received! 'Super Fertilizer Converter' is online!]

[Filter mesh activated—Stripping away the Immortal's resentment and lethal toxins! Extracting pure Immortal dao matter and broken Laws!]

[Absorption beginning!]

Rumble—!!!

As Lin Que opened his mouth and took a sudden breath.

The space in the deepest part of the entire Immortal Burial Abyss seemed to collapse into a massive black hole!

The gray-gold miasma within a radius of a hundred miles, a thousand miles, and even extending to the surface, surged like a boiling sea at this moment, turning into a terrifying tornado a hundred feet in diameter, frantically pouring into Lin Que at the top of the altar!

"Wooo—"

The abyss wailed, and the darkness that had not dissipated for ten thousand years was forcibly torn apart by this violent suction.

The immortal fall miasma, which could instantly melt a Nascent Soul Perfection into bloody water, was frantically incinerated by a super furnace composed of the purple, white, red, and gold Four-Colored Exotic Fire as soon as it entered Lin Que's body!

The toxins were burned into nothingness, and the remaining pure Law droplets were continuously poured onto the [seed of the world tree] held by the Divine Demon Nascent Soul.

"Gurgle... gurgle..."

Within Lin Que's Dantian, a wonderful change like the creation of heaven and earth was taking place.

Having absorbed a massive amount of Immortal dao matter, the withered patterns on the seed's surface began to peel off layer by layer.

A faint yet extraordinary life force, surpassing the rules of this world, was quietly gestating at the core of the seed!

Crack.

An extremely subtle crisp sound.

A crack appeared in the transparent seed.

A tiny seedling with only two leaves, its entire body flowing with the two colors of purple-gold and Chaos, stubbornly emerged from the seed!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Successfully hatched the 'world tree sapling (Mutated Version)'!]

[Due to the Fusion of the Demon God Body's Qi and blood with the Four-Colored Exotic Fire, this World Tree has broken free from the Upper Realm's control and transformed into the host's exclusive 'Inner World Dao Foundation'!]

At the very moment the seedling broke its shell.

Its two leaves trembled slightly, feeding back a wisp of gray airflow that was insignificant yet as heavy as Mount Tai.

This airflow followed Lin Que's Meridians, flowing through his entire body.

"Buzz!"

Lin Que suddenly opened his eyes.

The world before him had become completely different at this moment.

The texture of space, the flow of Spiritual Qi, and even the structure of Laws became clearly visible in his eyes!

"This is..."

Lin Que raised his right hand and lightly tapped his index finger against the void.

He didn't use a single shred of true essence.

Nor did he use the tens of millions of catties of force from his Major Achievement Demon God Body. He didn't even draw his starfall mo dao.

Crack—

The void a hundred feet ahead was like a fragile mirror. With this one finger, he silently poked a pitch-black hole in it!

Spatial turbulence raged wildly within the hole, yet it couldn't harm him in the slightest.

[System Prompt: The host has pre-emptively mastered a trace of 'World Power'!]

[Note: This is a high-dimensional power that only Soul Transformation Peak and even Void Returning Realm powerhouses can touch. It can ignore all Law defenses of the same rank!]

"World Power..."

Lin Que withdrew his finger and looked at his bronze-colored palm. A very hearty smile finally curled at the corner of his mouth.

At this time, his Realm was still stable at the Peak of the Late Nascent Soul Stage.

He was in no hurry to break through to Soul Transformation.

Because he knew that an ordinary Soul Transformation was just a slightly larger ant.

But now, with this world tree sapling as his foundation, his future Soul Transformation would be the opening of a truly invincible world within his body!

This was his most solid trump card for rebelling against the Nine Heavens!

"This trip to the Immortal Burial Abyss was well worth it."

Lin Que let out a long sigh of relief.

He had absorbed about seventy or eighty percent of the miasma accumulated in the abyss for ten thousand years, and his vision had become clearer than ever before.

He turned around, glanced at the empty ancient bronze coffin, and flicked a wisp of purple fire, burning it completely into nothingness.

There was no need to leave traces of the Upper Realm here to be an eyesore.

"It's time to go back."

Lin Que's figure flashed, floating down from the ten-thousand-foot altar.

Below the altar, Su Qingyu was tightly clutching the god-sealing jade bowl, looking around anxiously. The terrifying commotion of absorbing the entire abyss's miasma just now had almost scared her to tears.

"Young Master Lin!"

Seeing Lin Que appear unharmed, and noticing his temperament had become deeper and more refined, Su Qingyu's heart finally settled.

"Let's go, Green Fish."

Lin Que rubbed her head and conveniently took back the god-sealing jade bowl.

At this time, having lost the immortal fall miasma and the True Immortal remains, the Immortal Burial Abyss had completely turned into an ordinary underground rift valley.

Those once-arrogant Immortal Qi Dao Slaves had also long since turned to dust as the Laws dissipated.

Lin Que put his arm around Su Qingyu's slender waist and lightly tapped his toe on the ground.

Whoosh—!

Without any earth-shattering sound of breaking through the air, Lin Que's figure merged directly into the void.

After mastering a trace of "World Power," his use of spatial Laws had already surpassed that of ordinary Soul Transformation old monsters. This was no longer brute force breaking through space, but space actively making way for him.

In just a few breaths.

The two had already crossed tens of thousands of feet of the abyss's layers and returned to the barren Gobi desert on the surface.

Outside, the sunlight was bright.

Lin Que took a deep breath of the Central Continent's slightly thin yet life-filled air.

He turned his head and looked toward the east.

There lay the Da Qian Imperial City, the headquarters of the Immortal Slaying Pavilion. It was also the base where he would build his Immortal-Slaying Expeditionary Force.

"The divine weapon has been forged, and the Dao foundation has been established."

Lin Que slowly opened his folding fan, his eyes reflecting an absolute confidence that looked down upon the world.

"The Upper Realm gave me three years to develop."

"Next, let the cultivation world of this Central Continent spin completely."

"Green Fish, pass on my command."

Lin Que paused, his tone grim:

"The Immortal Slaying Pavilion is entering a state of total war!"
