As if afraid of Yunxiao not keeping his word, the tree spirit said again, “As long as you do this for me, I’ll give you a heaven-defying benefit when I wake up.”

 “What heaven-defying benefit? Don’t fool me! By that time, you will have nothing valuable with you. Or, do you want to let me eat you?” Yunxiao said disdainfully, but his eyes shone with greed, as if he had just seen a piece of fat meat. If this divine tree could rise from the ashes, it would definitely be something extremely nourishing.

 That frightened the tree spirit, and he hurriedly said, “Don’t you think about that! If you can protect me until I am safely awake, I can transfer a wisp of Great Primal Qi to you.”

 “What!” Yunxiao’s eyelids twitched violently as he said in shock, “Great Primal Qi! You can actually cultivate Great Primal Qi?”

 The tree spirit said proudly, “The only wisp of Great Primal Qi I owned had been refined into my intrinsic Qi. If I can be reborn from the ashes, I can cultivate the second wisp, and the third wisp. I can give you a wisp as a token of my gratitude. Is this a viable deal?”

 “Yes! Of course, it is viable!”

 Yunxiao nodded repeatedly and agreed to the deal. Great Primal Qi was conceived in chaos when the heaven and earth were just born and the Yin and Yang was yet to split. After that, the Dao turned into the One, which split into the Yin and Yang. Later, the universe and all things, including earth, water, fire and wind, were evolved from the Great Primal Qi. If he could obtain a wisp, his odds of stepping into the Divine realm would become greater.

 Moreover, he also knew that only those ancient True Spirits who had disappeared could conceive the Great Primal Qi. This Kunwu Divine Tree must have been influenced by the phoenix, and with tens of thousands of years of cultivation, he was able to produce a wisp of Great Primal Qi.

 “In that case, let’s delay no more.” The tree spirit said nervously, “I’ll now teach you the technique of controlling the Phoenix True Flame.”

 A strange text emerged in Yunxiao’s mind, consisting entirely of ancient golden tadpole-like writing. If he had not done some research on this kind of writing before, he would not have understood it right now.

 Yunxiao was silent for a moment.

 “How is it? Can you master it? Or, is there anything you don’t understand?” asked the tree spirit.

 Yunxiao frowned and said, “There is nothing I don’t understand. But, if I trigger the Phoenix True Flame according to this technique, even I can’t control it at the later stage. Would I be dragged into it as well?”

 “Overcautious and indecisive. Why are you so afraid of death? If you die, I will be devoured by some sea monsters after I rise from the ashes!” The tree spirit said impatiently. “Just for the sake of myself alone, I won’t harm you.”

 “In that case, I’ll give it a try! But, I need to put away this Soul Nourishing Wood first.” He grabbed Tigertooth and slashed it out a few times. The huge wood fell with a crash, and was grabbed by him before being pulled into his storage ring.

 At that moment, the tree spirit began to perform incantation gestures with both hands, mustering the tremendous amount of heaven and earth Spirit Qi in his true-form and crazily pouring it into Yunxiao’s body.

 Yunxiao sat cross-legged down with both hands flashing with complicated incantation gestures. His aura kept climbing as the Spirit Qi poured into his body. Soon, the flaming cloud symbol appeared between his eyebrows and began to burn, as if it were about to leave his body.

 At that moment, his hands slowed down, as if the incantation gestures had entered an extremely complicated stage, and he had to ponder for a while before forming each seal. A while later, an ancient, unfathomable symbol was formed in his hands, gradually floating up in seawater. Very soon, another appeared; about ten minutes later, a total of nine different tadpole-like characters surrounded Yunxiao and kept spinning.

 The tree spirit watched nervously as Yunxiao performed incantation gestures, and his heart raced when those ancient characters began to appear. It was not until all nine tadpole-like characters took shape that he breathed a sigh of relief and showed a look of great joy. His hands moved faster, and the speed at which he drained Spirit Qi was even faster than Yunxiao’s One Qi of Destiny array.

 After all, he would soon no longer need this body, and the Spirit Qi would be wasted if he did not drain it. Moreover, by forcibly improving Yunxiao’s strength now, the assurance of his rebirth would also be increased.

 “Five-stars Great Martial Master…”

 “Peak five-stars Great Martial Master…”

 “Six-stars!”

 Just as Yunxiao broke through to a six-stars Great Martial Master, a familiar voice suddenly rang out beside his ear, “I was wondering why there’s something wrong. It turns out that you are the culprit! Give me back my realm!”

 A figure burst in, and surprisingly, it was Heng Yuan! It had only been a few days, but the aura exuded from him marked him a peak one-star Martial Emperor!

 “Bast*rd! Bast*rd! This is unforgivable! I was pushing for the realm of two-stars Martial Emperors when the Spirit Qi in this divine tree grew weaker and weaker, and now it is almost completely gone! It turns out that you are the one behind this! Give me back my Primordial Qi! Give me back my realm!”

 As soon as he saw the almost corporeal heaven and earth Spirit Qi around Yunxiao, he froze in place and realized what had happened instantly, and he almost went crazy. “So much Spirit Qi! How dare a mere worm of the Three Powers realm like you enjoy so much Spirit Qi! Give me, give me Spirit Qi! I want to break through into two-stars Martial Emperor!”

 Heng Yuan rushed up wildly. He had only sneaked into the Kunwu Divine Tree for a few days and had already obtained tremendous benefits, which he did not even dare to imagine in the past. Not only did he break through to become a Martial Emperor smoothly, but he had also pushed his cultivation base up to the peak of a one-star Martial Emperor realm without any obstacles. If he succeeded in breaking through, the Constellation Sect’s branch in Qinghai would be headed by him when he returned!

 However, at that critical juncture, the divine tree that kept supplying him with Spirit Qi suddenly seemed to have dried up, losing all its Spirit Qi, which instantly drove him crazy. He knew that as long as he could get half, no, perhaps just one-third or one-fourth of the Spirit Qi gathering around Yunxiao now, he would be able to break through into a two-stars Martial Emperor!

 “Boy, you don’t deserve to enjoy this Spirit Qi! Die now!” He rushed up while roaring, and his fists crackled with energy. In his opinion, it was like a delicious cake being gnawed at by a rat, which disgusted and pained him.

 Yunxiao opened his eyes. Under the pressure of a Martial Emperor, there was not even a trace of emotion in his eyes. Instead, he unhurriedly formed the last seal in his hands. Meanwhile, the nine golden tadpole-like characters floating around him flew into his palms, merging with the last character into a complicated and difficult to understand array.

 “You are born in the water, and you will return to the fire. The cleansing flame of karma will reset the universe.”

 As Yunxiao recited that, he pushed his palms out, and the array immediately spread out with him in the center. The flaming cloud symbol between his eyebrows left his body at that moment, turning into a mass of flame and spreading out in all directions. Under the flickering light of the flame, the tree spirit’s shadow seemed to be shivering. “Is it finally happening?”

 Heng Yuan rushed in front of Yunxiao and was about to strike when a heatwave came blowing into his face. The flame that could burn off everything made his soul tremble in an instant, and a sense of death descended into his heart, which scared him out of his wits. He forcibly stopped himself and kicked the water to speed toward the outside.

 Spirit Qi was good, but his life was more important. He was not a fool after all!

 With Yunxiao in the center, the phoenix flame rapidly spread out, quickly placing the whole core of the Kunwu Divine Tree in a sea of flame. Meanwhile, Yunxiao sat cross-legged and revealed his Glazed Body, allowing the flame to burn him while he kept reciting a spell.

 At that moment, the Spirit Qi in the Kunwu Divine Tree was almost fully depleted. All the Razor Clams hiding in it squeezed out of their cavities, trying to find out what was happening.

 “Not good, there are enemies over there, and they have killed many of our people!”

 “What! Who dares to provoke the Razor Clam clan!”

 “I don’t know, but the loss of Spirit Qi in the divine tree seems to be related to this group of people. Let’s go and have a look.”

 “Damnit! I was at the juncture of breaking through! They will die for this!”

 A large number of Razor Clams poured toward where Duan Yue and the others stood. Although the three of them were Martial Emperors, they were tired of the killing, not to mention there were a few Martial Emperors among the foes, all of whom were killed by them as well. The three of them began to feel exhausted. Looking at the Razor Clams that kept pouring over, they all smiled wryly.

 Outside a cavity in the Kunwu Divine Tree, Da Lei knelt on the floor with an anxious look and said in a loud voice, “Lord Wei Xi, a foreign clan has intruded the divine tree and killed many of my people! Even my clan chief, Da Meng, died at the hands of those people! I hope Lord Wei Xi can help us!”

 “Hmph!” A disdainful cold snort rang out of the cavity. “What does it matter to me when your people are killed? Our agreement is I help you seize this Kunwu Divine Tree, and you help me cultivate and break through. Since when have I become your hatchet man?”

 “No, we dare not!” Da Lei seemed terrified of the person inside, and he said in a trembling voice, “Lord Wei Xi, the divine tree is seriously damaged by those people. If we don’t get rid of them and instead allow them to do as they please, my lord will not be able to continue cultivating when the divine tree dies.”

 “I was wondering why the Spirit Qi seems to have disappeared suddenly, damnit!” the person growled.

 Da Lei was delighted. He knew the person inside was going to do something. Sure enough, just as he was thinking, a person suddenly appeared in front of him, staring coldly at him. Da Lei felt as if two sharp knives had been thrust into his body, and he was so scared that he did not dare to look up.

 Wei Xi glanced in Duan Yue and the others’ direction as he snorted and said, “You Razor Clams are really useless! You can’t even get rid of a few Martial Emperors. Well, I’ll help you kill these few worms.”

 Overjoyed, Da Lei hurriedly bowed and said, “Thank you, Lord Wei Xi! I’m sure the intruders will be destroyed in a flash under my lord’s mighty strength! My admiration for my lord is as endless as the seawater…”

 “That’s enough!” Wei Xi felt sick of it and interrupted him. “But, I can’t do it for nothing. I was cultivating to a critical juncture just now when the Spirit Qi was cut off, which has displeased me. How are you going to compensate me?”

 “Compensate?” Da Lei paused. “This…How can this be compensated?”

 “Hmph!” Wei Xi’s eyes gleamed fiercely and said, “I don’t think you can compensate me. But thankfully, you also have the strength of a Martial Emperor. Well, you will be honored to be my medicinal catalyst and let me suck all your energy essence! Hehe!”

 Wei Xi suddenly grinned, revealing two sharp fangs as he walked toward Da Lei, who was shivering in fear.
