Reincarnated as a Ginkgo Tree: I Create an Eternal Divine Kingdom - Chapter 76

Indeed.

Within just half an hour, an unimaginable wave of spiritual energy surged into the Earth Spirit Stalactite Cave, then erupted from it.

In the underground world, Su Mu’s subordinates all widened their eyes in shock. They clearly saw vast amounts of “mist,” visible to the naked eye, suddenly spewing out from the Earth Spirit Stalactite.

This “mist” was not actually mist; it was spiritual energy. The spiritual energy was so dense that it formed mist, which was simply astounding.

“Quick, absorb it with all your might!”

The subordinates quickly snapped out of their shock. They didn’t miss this opportunity and began absorbing the surging spiritual energy as fast as they could.

Su Mu did the same. His roots and leaves, in their most powerful state, frantically absorbed the spiritual energy gushing up from below.

As the spiritual energy erupted, it began to disperse in all directions. But Su Mu wasn’t about to let it escape; his Power of Mist formed a dense barrier, blocking the spiritual energy and forcing it back into his tree body.

The spiritual energy from the earth and the life force of living beings are essentially their lifespan.

As this spiritual energy poured into Su Mu’s body, it was all converted into lifespan.

Enhancing!

Rapid enhancement.

Not only Su Mu but all the living beings within the five-mile radius of the Misty Forbidden Zone’s core were rapidly strengthening.

For the first time, Su Mu wasn’t using lifespan; he was enhancing himself naturally.

This process continued for three days. The spiritual energy wave from the underground continued to erupt for three days. After that, while the underground spiritual energy continued to gush out, it no longer surged like a wave.

“Has the density of spiritual energy increased?”

“The world’s spiritual revival has entered the second stage.”

Three days later, the beings in other regions also noticed the change in the world. They started seizing this opportunity as frantically as Su Mu did.

Across the world, besides Su Mu’s Earth Spirit Stalactite Cave, there were nine other similar areas. Some places were spiritual mines, others were Earth Spirit Stalactite Caves, and still others were spiritual springs…

In any case, the spiritual energy was erupting from these locations.

Various forces seized this opportunity, but because they weren’t as prepared as Su Mu, the majority of the spiritual energy in these other nine places inevitably dissipated into the world.

In contrast, the Misty Forbidden Zone, where Su Mu resided, retained at least seventy percent of the spiritual energy, with only about thirty percent escaping.

In the Misty Forbidden Zone, Su Mu’s lifespan skyrocketed.

Ten thousand years, twenty thousand years, thirty thousand years…

By the time this spiritual energy eruption was nearing its end, Su Mu’s lifespan had increased by an incredible 130,000 years.

This was undeniably terrifying.

“Let’s upgrade the fifth-tier Earth Force.”

Su Mu first injected 20,000 years of lifespan into the Earth Force.

Boom!

The Earth Force increased to the sixth-tier.

The surrounding mountains and terrain changed once again. The distance between Su Mu and the edge of the Ancient Wilderness Mountains, which was initially sixty miles, was now extended to eighty miles due to the upgrade of his Earth Force to the sixth-tier.

Next was the Earth Fiend Transformation.

Another 20,000 years of lifespan were consumed, and the Earth Fiend Transformation was enhanced to the fifth-tier.

Su Mu’s roots and branches were greatly strengthened.

And there was also the underground world. Su Mu didn’t forget to modify it.

The shallowest depth of the underground world was lowered from 6,000 feet to 8,000 feet. The deepest depth was extended to 20,000 feet. The underground world’s height was 12,000 feet. Its diameter was stretched from 40,000 feet to 60,000 feet, equivalent to forty miles.

Such a large area could now truly be called vast, and it could be considered a small world in its own right. The size was comparable to that of a small country.

“Upgrade the fifth-tier Phantom Snow Eye.”

Boom!

In an instant, the Phantom Snow Eye advanced to the sixth-tier.

After three major enhancements, Su Mu finally underwent a qualitative transformation.

Boom!

It was as if a certain shackle within his tree body had been broken. Particularly in the core of his tree body, a mysterious power seemed to be gestating.

This wasn’t spiritual power; it was spiritual soul power.

At this moment, Su Mu felt as if his consciousness was connected to the heavens and the earth. Suddenly, he had a sensation that his consciousness could detach from his tree body by borrowing the power of the heavens and the earth.

With this sensation, Su Mu began to act on it.

His consciousness attempted to leap out of his tree body. The process was not easy. Su Mu felt great resistance as if the world outside his tree body held a terrible threat.

But Su Mu did not fear. He kept trying. During this process, his consciousness became increasingly condensed, continuously contracting.

Finally…

Buzz!

Suddenly, Su Mu felt his consciousness undergo a transformation. His mind plunged into a blank state. It was as if countless threads of rules in the universe were vibrating.

Then…

Su Mu felt as though he could “open his eyes.”

He didn’t resist this feeling.

He actually opened his eyes.

At the top of the giant ginkgo tree, a shadow began to form. This shadow resembled a human infant. However, it was only the size of a fist.

The fourth-tier for demons corresponds to the Nascent Soul stage for humans!

Other demons form their demonic cores at the third-tier, equivalent to the Golden Core stage for humans. At the third tier, demons can achieve partial transformation. Upon reaching the fourth-tier, they form their life essence demon seed and can fully transform.

Now, because Su Mu’s soul is human, he formed a Nascent Soul similar to that of human cultivators. But the transformation did not stop there.

A white light began to appear around the infant-shaped shadow. In moments, this light turned into a white crystal, resembling a star. Or rather, it looked like a white fruit produced by the ginkgo tree.

The human infant shadow was completely enveloped within this “white fruit star.”

This “white fruit star” was about the size of a human head. This was not small, but compared to Su Mu’s tree body, it was no more significant than a speck of dust.

Without a doubt, this “white fruit star,” which had enveloped the human infant shadow, was Su Mu’s demon seed. Or rather, it was a fusion of the demon seed and the Nascent Soul.

“I’ll call you Origin Star.”

Su Mu mused.

This Origin Star wasn’t a physical entity but a spiritual entity. It could float independently outside Su Mu’s tree body. Based on the reactions of other beings, it seemed that none of them could see his “Origin Star.”

The formation of Origin Star marked a significant leap in Su Mu’s life form.

With a large amount of remaining lifespan, Su Mu didn’t hold back. He needed lifespan primarily to enhance his power.

“Upgrade the Heart of Faith.”

9,000 years of lifespan were consumed.

The Heart of Faith was upgraded to the fifth-tier, further strengthening his connection with his followers.

“Upgrade the Fourth-Tier Sword Mastery.”

He enhanced Sword Mastery twice, raising it from the fourth tier to the sixth tier.

29,000 years of lifespan were consumed.
