Reincarnated as a Ginkgo Tree: I Create an Eternal Divine Kingdom - Chapter 148

Fifth Tier.

This floating plant was actually a fifth-tier being.

Moreover, Su Mu could sense that deep within the plant, there seemed to be an even more astonishing power hidden.

He immediately read the floating plant’s information panel.

[Species: Rootless Duckweed]

[Length: Three inches]

[Lifespan: 100,000 years]

[Rank: Fifth Tier, Lower Grade]

[Abilities: Celestial Leaf (Unawakened), Sun and Moon Heaven and Earth, Boundless Fulfillment, External Manifestation, Primordial Power, Bewitching Force]

The information about this floating plant was simply dazzling.

Even Su Mu felt a sense of shock and confusion. What exactly is this thing?

Its lifespan was a staggering 100,000 years.

And its abilities — just hearing their names, he knew they were incredibly extraordinary.

Su Mu sensed that copying the “Sun and Moon Heaven and Earth” ability would consume a massive amount of lifespan.

Even with his current lifespan of a million years, he couldn’t replicate this ability.

“External Manifestation,” “Boundless Fulfillment,” and “Primordial Power” each required a million years of lifespan to copy.

The “Bewitching Force” required slightly less, but it still needed 300,000 years of lifespan.

Moreover, this floating plant had an unawakened ability called “Celestial Leaf.”

Su Mu suspected that the terrifying power hidden within it was likely “Celestial Leaf.”

Once “Celestial Leaf” awakened, the floating plant’s rank might even increase.

Even without mentioning “Celestial Leaf,” Su Mu was very interested in the floating plant’s abilities, especially “External Manifestation” and “Boundless Fulfillment.”

If he could replicate these two abilities, it would certainly add tremendous power to his arsenal.

Additionally, it was clear that the floating plant’s abilities did not possess much direct offensive power.

The only potentially offensive ability was “Bewitching Force.”

This explained why, despite being a Fifth-Tier existence, the plant had little to no self-defense capabilities.

“Are you the one they call the Divine Tree?”

A curious, childlike voice, as innocent as that of a three-year-old girl, suddenly spoke.

The spiritual rain around them was immensely attractive to all other beings, but the floating plant seemed utterly indifferent.

“Indeed, I am,” Su Mu responded with a light laugh.

“You don’t seem particularly powerful, yet I cannot see through you,” the innocent voice expressed confusion.

Su Mu felt slightly exasperated.

In this world, his strength was undoubtedly among the top-tier existences.

Yet, according to this floating plant, he wasn’t particularly strong.

“Where did you come from?” Su Mu asked.

The plant had descended with the falling star from beyond the heavens, so it certainly did not belong to this world.

“The place I used to stay was called the Spirit Realm, I think,” the floating plant replied.

“Why did you fall into this world?” Su Mu was genuinely curious.

“It seems many coveted me. To seize me, my sect was attacked by another sect,” the floating plant explained. “During their battle, they shattered the void, and I was caught in the spatial rift, ending up in this world.”

It seemed intelligent but evidently had not been aware for long, leaving it somewhat naive and lacking in knowledge.

“There are many in this world who also covet you,” Su Mu remarked. “You just arrived, and already tens of thousands of cultivators fought over you.”

The small leaf of the floating plant began to tremble, clearly showing fear.

“An elder sister told me that there are three terrifying places in this world where I might find shelter,” the floating plant quivered as it spoke, “and the Misty Forbidden Zone is one of them. Could you protect me?”

It did not think that Su Mu was trying to scare it; after all, it had experienced the battle firsthand.

“Of course,” Su Mu replied. “At least in this world, as long as I am here, no one can threaten you.”

He certainly could not let the floating plant slip away; he would do everything in his power to entice, or rather, recruit it to his side.

The floating plant seemed to relax.

At this moment, Su Mu said, “You could try absorbing the spiritual rain.”

The floating plant hesitated. “The spiritual energy in this rain is too thin for me.”

The silver ginkgo branch swayed gently. “The true value of this rain is not in its spiritual energy.”

He had mixed the life essence liquid into the rain, making it far from ordinary.

The floating plant remained indifferent, but it did not wish to offend this mysterious presence. So, it reluctantly began to absorb the rain.

Naturally, Su Mu controlled the rain, directing more life essence liquid to infuse the spiritual rain around the floating plant.

After a few breaths, the floating plant exclaimed, “This rain contains a miraculous power that can rejuvenate life!”

It then joyfully immersed itself in the rain.

Su Mu smiled subtly.

Unintentionally, the floating plant had absorbed the equivalent of ten drops of life essence liquid.

Thus, an invisible bond had been established between Su Mu and the floating plant.

“Copy!”

Without hesitation, Su Mu chose to replicate the ability “Boundless Fulfillment.”

A million years of lifespan vanished in an instant.

Buzz!

Su Mu’s data panel updated once more.

[Species: Spirit Ginkgo Tree]

[Height: 1150 feet]

[Lifespan: 20,000 years]

[Rank: Fifth Tier, Supreme Grade]

[Abilities: Innate Talent Duplication, Life Essence Condensation, Heaven and Human Induction, Boundless Fulfillment, Eighth-tier Earth Fiend Transformation, Tenth-tier Power of Mist, Ninth-tier Earth Power, Ninth-tier Phantom Snow Eye, Ninth-tier Sword Mastery, Ninth-tier Water Breathing, Eighth-tier Heart of Faith, Eighth-tier Metal Splitting Power, Seventh-tier Heart Peering, Seventh-tier Bloodsucking Power, Second-tier Life Anchor]

Clearly, “Boundless Fulfillment” was an ability that could not be upgraded.

This ability allowed Su Mu to freely alter the size of his body within certain limits.

Su Mu’s immediate thought was to extend his branches.

Previously, using his branches for long-range attacks required a large consumption of spiritual energy.

Now, with “Boundless Fulfillment,” this energy consumption would be significantly reduced.

After completing this, Su Mu turned his attention to the Ironback Ape.

His subordinates had been heavily injured in this war, especially the Ironback Ape, whose brow bone had been pierced.

Fortunately, the efficacy of his life essence liquid was extraordinary.

While his subordinates bathed in the spiritual rain, their injuries were rapidly healing.

The Ironback Ape had already recovered from severe injuries to minor wounds.

Although his subordinates had won this war, and their achievements were notable, Su Mu knew he could not ignore the provocation.

“Great Xia.”

Su Mu’s thoughts grew cold.

Great Xia was undoubtedly one of the most powerful forces in this world.

Or rather, the only force that could truly compare to Great Xia was the Haori Alliance.

The other major nations were not on par with Great Xia and the Haori Alliance.

When dealing with such a force, Su Mu had to demonstrate his stance.

Ordinarily, the two sides could maintain peace.

But once the other party crossed the line, Su Mu would have to retaliate accordingly.

It was fortunate that his strength had significantly increased, and he had gained new abilities. It was time to use Great Xia as a test.

“Divine Tree Lord.”

At this moment, Su Yao sent a thought to Su Mu, “One of Great Xia’s national treasures, the Dragon Bone Divine Boat, has just set sail.

“They seem to have detected some abnormality in Nanzhao Bay and sent the Dragon Bone Divine Boat to investigate.”

“Dragon Bone Divine Boat?” Su Mu asked, intrigued.

“This boat is said to be crafted from real dragon bones and is the treasure of Great Xia’s navy,” Su Yao explained. “With this boat, Great Xia’s naval power is unrivaled among the nations.”

Hearing this, Su Mu couldn’t help but smile.

Previously, he had considered simply occupying Qingzhou.

However, at this moment, he changed his mind.

Qingzhou, with the Misty Forbidden Zone within it, no longer held much value for Great Xia.

In contrast, the Dragon Bone Divine Boat was of much greater value.

Su Mu decided to seize the Dragon Bone Divine Boat from Great Xia!
