Soon, the sapling grew into a small tree, swaying in the soft, pale sunlight. Although it seemed fragile, one could vaguely sense its immense, towering strength.
The sapling's roots were firmly embedded in the void, as if drawing nourishment from the endless void. Its leaves were oval-shaped with patterns like talismans, each leaf having a unique pattern, resembling celestial inscriptions.
"What a magnificent Jianmu tree! It truly lives up to its name as a towering giant tree that reaches the heavens. It is indeed a masterpiece of nature, a creation of heaven and earth!"
Looking at the sapling in front of him, Xiao Ning couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
The reason it is described as a masterpiece is that the trunk, leaves, and roots of the Jianmu tree are naturally equipped with arrays and restrictions, which are constantly evolving, increasing, and growing stronger.
In Xiao Ning's perception, as the Jianmu tree grew, the entire Lingxu Realm became much more stable.
The reason Xiao Ning called it a seizure of the creation of heaven and earth was because its roots had actually penetrated into the infinite void, absorbing the primordial energy hidden in various unknown and mysterious spaces.
It truly lives up to its reputation as the World Tree, standing tall and connecting the mortal and immortal realms, traversing the eternal void of countless worlds, just like the spine and blood vessels of a person, linking and repeating endlessly.
Although its grade is inferior to that of the osmanthus tree, being only of low quality, its effects are exactly what the Spirit Ruins Realm desires.
With this Jianmu tree, the Lingxu Realm's progress towards becoming a Great Thousand World has accelerated considerably.
"Very good!"
Xiao Ning breathed a sigh of relief, emerged from the Spirit Ruins Realm, and looked into the distance. Through numerous obstacles and across billions of miles, he saw his disciple, Fang Han.
…………
The Great Li Dynasty, Longyuan Province.
In the past few days, the entire Fang family has been mobilized.
However, it was because the eldest daughter of the Fang family had advanced to the tenth level of supernatural powers and become the true disciple of the Feathered Ascension Sect, whose status was below the Three Saints of Feathered Ascension and the sect leader Feng Baiyu, but above tens of thousands of others.
The news caused an uproar throughout the entire Dali Dynasty.
Not only that, but the surrounding dynasties also received the news.
Various dynasties and powerful families dispatched their most skilled members, carrying abundant gifts, to Longyuan Province.
Even if Fang Qingxue is not at the Fang family home, her heartfelt wishes must still be there.
The next step after becoming the head disciple is to become the sect leader.
At that time, Fang Qingxue will become one of the most important figures in the entire Xuanhuang Great World.
Even if they don't become the sect leader, becoming a powerful elder would still make them an extraordinary figure.
If not now, when?
One after another, countless luxurious carriages entered the territory of Longyuan Province and eventually arrived at the Fang family's land.
Stables.
Fang Han had only slept for an hour when, around midnight, he suddenly sensed a disturbance outside.
"Steward, what is it? Why are you calling me at the middle of the night?"
Then the door was banged on loudly. He quickly rolled over and got up. When he opened the door, he found that it was the head steward of the horse farm.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
The head steward of the horse farm said anxiously, "Get up quickly! Many distinguished guests arrived at the gate early this morning. Their carriages and horses must be carefully handled. You should also go and help!"
"Distinguished guest? What distinguished guest?"
Fang Han was a little confused.
"Why ask so many questions? As servants, we only need to follow orders when it comes to our master's business. Do you want to get whipped again?"
The head steward scolded them as he hurried away into the distance.
Fang Han didn't dare to delay and immediately went out.
Although he had a fortuitous encounter, his cultivation was still shallow, and his strength did not allow him to refuse to be a servant.
What's more, that cheap master is too unreliable; he only taught me the cultivation method and then abandoned me.
He wanted to rely on the Fang family's influence to enter the Feathered Ascension Sect.
Having a major sect protecting you is better than being a rogue cultivator.
Moreover, the Feathered Ascension Sect is one of the legendary Ten Immortal Sects, a veritable abode of immortals, which he greatly yearns for.
Fang Han was finally able to rest after working until late at night.
Having reached the tenth level of the Divine Transformation Realm of Nourishing Life, Fang Han possessed the strength of a hundred horses. Although he had been busy with trivial matters all day, he had to be careful not to reveal his advanced cultivation, which made him quite tired.
It's mainly mentally exhausting.
"Fang Qingxue has advanced to the tenth level of the Divine Power Realm. She will definitely return to her family to select a group of disciples to bring to the mountain gate. This is my only chance!"
"The energy of the Nine Aperture Golden Pill is running low. It's probably only enough for me to advance to the Divine Power Realm. I'll have to find another way to obtain the cultivation resources for the rest!"
Lying in bed, Fang Han touched his chest. He could feel that the Nine-Aperture Golden Pill deep in his heart had shrunk considerably.
If it was the size of a thumb before, now, after Fang Han's month of cultivation, most of its energy has been used up, and it has become the size of a broad bean.
And then, as expected.
On the third day, Fang Qingxue returned and announced that she would bring a group of Fang family disciples up the mountain.
