Chapter 84: The New Year's Willow Heart
Chapter 84: Receive the Thousand-Year-Old Willow Heart (5K)
Yang Yu's restless heart completely calmed down.
Wait until your mind is calm.
Yang Yu separated a part of his mind to be alert to his surroundings, and then went into meditation.
First he meditated to refine his genetic energy, and then he deeply analyzed his latest realization of the second level of thunder realm.
As his realm level increased, Yang Yu discovered that his outward mental power did have a stronger control over the surroundings, and his understanding of thunder also became deeper.
In Yang Yu's perception, hidden under the thunder field is a deep and restrained lightning fluctuation!
But now Yang Yu can't really catch it, he can only vaguely sense its existence.
"Perhaps this is the law of the origin of thunder and lightning!"
With a clear understanding in his mind, Yang Yu knew that he was not far from entering the laws of the origin of thunder and lightning!
In the distant continent of origin.
The laws there are obvious, and any living creature can clearly sense the existence of the ten basic laws.
Even in the depths of Guixu, the laws of chaos are evident.
Therefore, the people there are born as true gods, and if they are placed in the original universe, they will be the strongest in the universe!
For them, understanding the laws is as easy as drinking water.
But in the original universe, the ten basic laws were concealed.
Only geniuses with high enough talent and strong enough comprehension can sense its existence by chance. To further comprehend it, one must meet the requirements in spirit, will, martial arts realm, etc.
Thanks to his understanding of the original work in his previous life, Yang Yu’s goal is not limited to the small earth or the primitive universe.
His real target is the cosmic ocean, the origin continent outside the cosmic ocean, or even the endless source world outside the origin continent!
This is what Yang Yu really pursues in his heart.
But the meal must be eaten one bite at a time.
The road must be walked step by step.
Yang Yu is just an apprentice now.
He hasn't even broken through to the planetary level, and hasn't even embarked on the true path of cultivation.
However, after having a goal, Yang Yu's eyes became more determined.
The night passed quickly.
During this period, some sea monsters that could land tried to jump high and attack Yang Yu who was sitting cross-legged on a big tree.
But they were all easily killed instantly by Yang Yu's fleeting flying knife.
Stay until dawn.
Yang Yu continued his hunting journey.
His soul has not yet absorbed enough true spiritual essence.
My understanding has not yet improved to a level that satisfies me.
You have to know that in the vast primordial universe, no matter how evil or amazing you are, it doesn't matter, because there are many evildoers who are more talented than you.
And thanks to the thunder inheritance left by a mysterious powerful man from the Origin Continent, Yang Yu's soul and will are under special protection.
Not to mention the masters of the universe and the strongest beings in the universe, even the original universe could not detect any abnormality.
Naturally, Yang Yu doesn't have to worry about his secret being exposed.
After all, the inheritance palace that exists in the original body's illusory memory is unquestionably safe because of the special means left behind by the mysterious powerful man.
This is also what Yang Yu naturally knew after accepting the inheritance in full.
However, the secrets in the inheritance and the contents related to the origin continent cannot be revealed due to the suppression of the original universe.
But Yang Yu was not going to say it.
Over the years since the birth of the universe, there have been countless types of inheritance. It is reasonable that Yang Yu was lucky enough to obtain one or two.
Flying all the way towards the Australian continent, all kinds of thoughts emerged and disappeared in Yang Yu's mind.
After his soul was strengthened, Yang Yu now had thousands of ideas in his mind at a glance. Coupled with his improved understanding, these complicated and messy ideas could be sorted out in an instant, with the useful ones being kept and the useless ones discarded.
Thanks to this change, Yang Yu now has new insights into the Thunder Realm all the time.
The mysterious veil shrouding the laws of the origin of thunder and lightning is also becoming clearer.
I just don't know when it will be fully revealed.
But Yang Yu was not in a hurry, he knew that this day would not be long!
Judging from the memories of the lord-level sea monsters hunted yesterday, there are also many powerful sea monsters in the sea leading to Australia.
Yang Yu was on his way, killing sea monsters above the lord level and devouring and refining their true spirits.
Wait until night falls.
After a day of killing, Yang Yu found an island to rest again.
On this day, Yang Yu refined thirty lord-level sea monsters!
Next is the second day, the third day
By the time Yang Yu slowly arrived at the Australian continent, more than two hundred lord-level monsters had fallen at his hands!
Among them, there are an astonishing forty high-level lord-level monsters!
All I can say is that the Pacific Ocean is rich in resources!
This was the result of Yang Yu's deliberate screening. If he could kill a high-level sea monster along the way, he would never kill a sea monster of the primary lord level.
In Yang Yu's eyes now, the primary lord level monsters are just leeks that have not grown up.
Harvesting those medium and high-level sea monster lords is the most cost-effective.
This will not only curb the possibility of the birth of planetary monster kings among them, but also improve soul strength and understanding at the fastest speed.
However, after several days of killing, Yang Yu discovered that absorbing the sea monster's true spirit essence could not increase the strength of his soul, and the improvement in his comprehension began to become negligible.
After carefully reading the book on the general outline of inheritance, Yang Yu realized that this was normal.
The soul at each stage has a limit, which is affected by the race and strength level of the inheritor, and there is no specific standard.
But there is indeed a limit. If one wants to continue absorbing the essence of the true spirit, one must either take over the body of a race with greater bloodline potential.
Or you can improve your own strength, causing the life level to transform, and after breaking the shackles of life, you can naturally improve again, and then it will be a new cycle.
This seems quite reasonable.
After learning this, Yang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, it is a heaven-defying inheritance from the Continent of Origin. It would be funny if it could only improve soul strength and comprehension a little bit.
After reviewing his gains over the past few days, Yang Yu discovered that his soul strength had increased by more than twice, and his comprehension had increased by about 20%.
Of course, something as intangible as comprehension cannot be accurately defined. This is also what Yang Yu achieved by combining the speed and efficiency of his understanding of the Thunder Realm.
That is to say, the soul strength is roughly doubled, and the comprehension is increased by 10%.
It is great to be able to achieve such improvement during the apprenticeship stage.
After all, soul strength is easy to improve, as there are always some magical treasures that can improve it, but it is too difficult to improve something that cannot be seen or touched, such as comprehension.
And even though the apprentice stage can only improve 20% of the original understanding, it seems that the improvement is not large, but the actual effect is too obvious!
In just three days, Yang Yu's efficiency in comprehending the second level of Thunder Field has greatly improved.
At this rate, the third level of Thunder Realm is not far away.
You have to know that Yang Yuke hasn’t even broken through to the planetary level yet!
If you break through to the planetary level, your strength and realm will have another leap!
"I really look forward to reaching the planetary level soon." Yang Yu, who is about to arrive in Australia, is excited. "After returning from Australia, I will concentrate on cultivation! Master the second Heavenly God Atlas as soon as possible, and the third Thunder Net Map! After refining the Life Thunder, I will break through immediately!"
When practicing, one should be brave and diligent. Since hunting monsters and devouring the essence of true spirits is no longer effective, one should break through as soon as possible. Time is a precious thing.
Looking at the coastline appearing in front of him, Yang Yu knew that was the long-awaited Australian continent.
The second level of thunder field covers the whole body with the help of mental power, and the whole person turns into thunder and shoots towards the land.
The direction Yang Yu has now arrived at is biased towards the north of the Australian continent. Rising to an altitude of several thousand meters, Yang Yu is preparing to search slowly from above.
Although Kirishima is small, it can still be easily seen from high in the sky.
In this way, Yang Yu patiently searched over the Australian continent.
During this period, some inconspicuous flying monsters wanted to attack Yang Yu. The strongest of them even reached the level of a mid-level lord, a strange flying monster that looked like an ancient pterosaur.
However, this strength was still insignificant in Yang Yu's eyes. He turned it into a flying knife of thunder and harvested it in a flash.
Looking at the giant pterosaur with a wingspan of over 200 meters, Yang Yu didn't even bother to collect the materials from it.
Now Yang Yu’s small backpack is filled with materials from hunting high-level lord-level sea monsters.
Now, mid-level lord-level monster materials are no longer qualified to enter Yang Yu’s backpack.
Yang Yu flew slowly all the way, and a day passed quickly.
After killing many flying monsters, Yang Yu finally found a small island in the lake, which was filled with thick fog.
“Kirishima?”
Yang Yu, who had searched most of the Australian continent, finally found a small island suspected to be Kirishima.
Land on the island.
Yang Yu looked around with interest.
At the same time, the surging mental power carried a trace of thunder covering the surroundings, carefully exploring everything on the island.
However, what disappointed Yang Yu a little was that the current Kirishima was obviously not as strange as when Luo Feng landed several decades later.
Not to mention anything else, just in the lake outside the island, the levels of the monsters are very low, far from the level where lord-level monsters are walking all over the ground.
Flying all the way here, Yang Yu discovered a giant silver electric python over a hundred meters long in the lake.
However, this silver electric python did not attack Yang Yu, so Yang Yu was too lazy to kill it.
Continue exploring Kirishima.
Finally, after going two or three miles deep into the fog island, Yang Yu discovered nine rather strange willow trees.
The thickest willow tree had leaves and branches that were light golden in color!
It is exactly the same as the description of Millennium Liu Muxin in the original book!
And the description of the surrounding environment is the same. "Haha, it turns out that the changes on Kirishima have been there since the beginning. This Willow King that gave birth to a ten-thousand-year-old willow heart decades later is now probably only giving birth to a thousand-year-old willow heart, but it's enough!"
Yang Yu happily looked at the thick willow tree in front of him. Its diameter had now reached more than one meter. The other eight willow trees were much smaller in comparison, and the color of its branches and leaves was only slightly brighter and greener than that of ordinary willow trees.
I saw the lush branches and leaves of the Willow King hanging down to the ground, and the slender willow branches shining with a light golden luster swaying gently in the breeze.
But just as Yang Yu was about to get closer to the Willow King, its slender willow branches suddenly swung wildly and wrapped around Yang Yu at a speed far exceeding the speed of sound.
Seeing this strange scene, Yang Yu was not surprised. A smile appeared on his lips, and sixteen streams of light lit up in an instant.
"Shhhhh!"
In less than a second, all the branches of the Willow King were chopped off by the flying knives!
"It's barely comparable to the attack power of a high-level lord monster."
Looking at the pale golden willow branches that had all been cut off by himself, Yang Yu commented lightly.
No wonder there were basically no monsters to be seen on the Kirishima Island along the way. Perhaps those monsters that accidentally entered here became snacks for this willow king.
The Willow King, who later gave birth to the Ten Thousand Year Old Willow Heart, has most likely developed intelligence.
Looking at its trembling trunk, Yang Yu had no mercy at all. His eyes turned cold, and sixteen streams of light lit up again, drawing a streak of lightning and shooting towards the trunk of the Willow King.
The Willow King, whose pale golden branches had all been chopped off, could only watch as the death-like light shot into its trunk.
"laugh!"
The defense of the trunk of the Willow King is much stronger than that of its thin branches. Even though Yang Yu, the God of War, is now using his mental power to the limit to control the flying knife to cut, it is still a little difficult. However, as the electric light turns into substance, it appears on the flying knife.
The originally tough trunk suddenly became as fragile as tofu. Sixteen flying knives easily cut off the trunk of the Willow King and penetrated deep into the ground to cut off the roots of the Willow King. When the last root was cut off, a silent wail sounded in Yang Yu's sea of consciousness, which meant that the life of the Willow King had come to an end ahead of schedule.
“It’s pretty hard to kill.”
Although the Willow King's combat power is now comparable to that of the most common high-level lord monsters, it is very troublesome to kill it. If the main trunk is not chopped down and all the roots are cut off, it will take a while for it to die given its vitality.
The reason why Yang Yu took so much effort to completely kill the Willow King was because he wanted to try out the true spirit of plant life.
Although his soul is now saturated, Yang Yu is still prepared to use the secret soul-devouring technique to see the difference between the true souls of plant life and the true souls of animals.
A trace of ethereal lightning power enveloped the green spot rising from the center of the Willow King's trunk.
The true spirit of the Willow King was swallowed by Yang Yu.
Close your eyes.
Savor the true spirit of the Willow King.
After a long time.
Yang Yu's face was full of joy.
Although the strength of the soul did not increase, it was obvious that the consciousness was clearer.
Yang Yu could feel that the true spirit in his own soul liked the true spirits of plants very much.
As soon as this emerald green true spirit appeared in the sea of consciousness, after removing all memories and some unknown impurities, Yang Yu's true spirit couldn't wait to swallow it up in one gulp.
"Cool~"
The feeling of joy coming from the depths of his soul made Yang Yu satisfied.
Sure enough, there is an essential difference between plant life and animal life.
After swallowing the Willow King's true spirit, Yang Yu felt that his own true spirit became visibly brighter, and its size also grew slightly larger.
Such a noticeable effect.
This was something Yang Yu had never experienced before, even after absorbing dozens of high-level lord monsters.
"I've met a treasure!" Yang Yu thought happily.
As expected, the correct way to unlock the Soul-Devouring Secret Technique is to hunt all things!
Refine its true spirit for your own use!
After experiencing the changes in his own spirit, Yang Yu began to look through the Willow King's memories with satisfaction.
Somewhere in an area of illusory memory.
At this moment, there are hundreds of light spots of varying sizes and brightness floating here.
These are the memory light spots that are devoured and absorbed after killing lord-level monsters.
Consciousness invaded the emerald green light that represented the Willow King.
In an instant, the memory of Willow King from birth to being killed completely flooded into Yang Yu's mind.
Open your eyes.
"It turns out that the mysterious core of this fog island is underground. There are some powdered crystals there, which contain amazing life energy. No matter whether it is animals or plants, they can undergo great transformation after absorbing it. The spirits of the surrounding plants and trees are also born because of this. This trip is really the right one!"
At this moment, Yang Yu's eyes were filled with deep joy.
Judging from the original book, these crystalline powders are most likely the result of Babata grinding up the muya crystals and throwing them out randomly for experiments.
But unfortunately, the overall strength of human beings is still very weak, and the only person attracted here is Yang Yu, who knew about the specialness of this place in his previous life.
This is also the biggest reason why no king-level monsters have been born in the lake and the Moyun vine has not appeared.
However, Yang Yu's arrival still gave Babata deep underground a huge surprise!
"This guy named Yang Yu's brain area width has reached 49!"
Inside the Meteorite spacecraft, Babata, the demon formed by light, was shocked.
At this time, Babata, who was only about 1 meters tall, looked at the virtual screen in front of him in shock. This was its means of monitoring the earth, and it could easily detect the talents and potential of humans or monsters that came to the fog island.
"I can't believe that such a genius could be born from such an inferior race like Earthlings, and the amplitude of his mental power is so high! And what is that?"
"Oh my god! This is the prototype of the Thunder Realm?"
"Could it be that this kid has realized the realm while still an apprentice? It's incredible."
"No, we must find a way to lure him over here and let him accept the inheritance of Meteorite Ink Star!"
At this moment, Babata saw Yang Yu in the picture controlling a flying knife with the embryonic form of thunder field to kill the Willow King, and he suddenly shouted out in shock.
Such a genius could not be found even in the heyday of Yunmo Star.
Once such a genius appears, even some powerful beings in the higher realms of the universe will compete to accept him as a disciple.
How could it be the turn of an immortal who barely got the title of marquis to take it?
"God really helps me Babata, Boss, maybe there is hope for your revenge!"
Babata thought excitedly, and at the same time, he used technological means far superior to those of the Earthlings to invade the monitoring systems of major base cities.
He immediately knew about Yang Yu’s recent outstanding performance, “Great, he is also a responsible genius!”
Such a perfect successor was something Babata could never have dreamed of.
But the excited and shocked Babata obviously did not discover more special things about Yang Yu.
But it is also true that Babata is just a virtual intelligent life now, and he cannot detect the invisible and intangible existence of telekinesis.
If he knew that Yang Yu's telekinesis had already been transformed into thunder telekinesis, he might not be so excited.
Yang Yu, who didn't know that he had appeared in Babata's attention, was still thinking about how to collect the spirits of plants and trees next.
Although the most useful of these plant spirits to him was the heart of the Willow King, the other plant spirits were of great use to Grandpa, Wang Lin and others.
After this trip, Grandpa Yang will finally enjoy his life.
By the way, there is also a plant spirit that is suspected to be the thousand-year-old black cypress root that I keep on the balcony at home. I will study it carefully when I return this time.
After learning all of Willow King’s memories, Yang Yu also knew most of the secrets of this foggy island.
Then Yang Yu controlled the flying knife to cut the center of the trunk of the fallen Willow King.
As the wood chips flew.
A breathtaking, egg-shaped emerald green crystal appeared in Yang Yu's sight.
"Thousand-year-old willow wood heart!"
Yang Yu, who was familiar with the original work, certainly knew how to use Liu Muxin.
No unnecessary stops.
Yang Yu used his telekinesis to control the egg-sized thousand-year-old willow wood heart to float in front of him, and then directly controlled a flying knife to pierce it.
Suddenly, the essence liquid in the crystal shell dripped into Yang Yu's mouth.
Soon.
Yang Yu drank all the liquid in the heart of the thousand-year-old willow tree.
As for the emerald green crystal shell, Yang Yu threw it away casually.
Then Yang Yu jumped onto another big tree, sat cross-legged and began to wait quietly for the thousand-year-old willow heart to take effect.
As the essence of the thousand-year-old willow heart flowed into the body along the esophagus, a feeling of "coolness and comfort" suddenly spread throughout Yang Yu's body, even making his soul tremble.
"Comfortable!"
As expected, taking the thousand-year-old willow wood heart did not cause any pain, and it was extremely comfortable.
When the rich vitality energy contained in the essence liquid of the thousand-year-old willow heart was completely absorbed by Yang Yu.
Suddenly Yang Yu felt that all the muscles, bones and flesh in his body were trembling, and he looked down.
Yang Yu could see that the skin on his hands was vibrating very quickly but with a small amplitude.
During this vibration, strands of gray-black substance seeped out from the pores of the skin.
