Now that the Cthulhuism Society and Obscuro Society were in cahoots, it was obvious that they were planning to stand in front of the stage.
Garon and Wukang entered the stronghold while discussing the latest information.
There was no one in the stronghold, the original totem users were all chased away by the red-robed people. Luckily, Daniela quickly sent over some servants and attendants who were in charge of taking care of the miscellaneous items. As the host, such stronghold battles were common. The unspoken rule here was to not harm weak normal people, otherwise no one would be willing to serve the people here.
After finding a relatively clean side hall, Garon and Wukang sat at the table, looking at the innermost layer of the Ancestral God Tree through the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
The Ancestral God Tree was lush, the dense leaves and branches were like green clouds, covering the sky completely. Bubbles and butterflies of different sizes floated in the air from time to time. Beside the trunk of the tree, there was a tall black castle. The castle faced Garon, and he could see a black translucent vertical pipe attached to the outer wall of the castle. It was like an outdoor elevator, and inside the pipe, there was a moving stone platform that constantly transported people to and fro.
Most of the people standing in the moving stone platform had their attendants with them, and they didn't look like normal people.
Garon and Wukang sat leisurely, eating peeled and cut Daniela's specialty fruits, green bananas and fist cherries.
"This Ancestral God Tree is completely green, and is the tallest tree around here. The other trees aren't even half as tall as this one. Obviously, this is the rumored Ancestral God Pillar. I heard that the Ancestral God Tree has unparalleled power, but I don't know if it's true. "Wukang admired the Ancestral God Tree's majestic posture, and said emotionally.
"Who knows?" Garon replied casually.
"We're just going to stay here? We're not going to enter the innermost layer? "
Garon shook his head.
"This is already the limit, if we go any further, we'll lose more than we gain. The core layer is occupied by the strongest of the royal family and the Cthulhu King, it's not something we can reach. "
"That's true." Wukang picked up a piece of cherry meat and put it into his mouth. "Then we're just going to wait here for the condensation to begin? Do you know the exact time? "
"I'm not sure, but it should be within these few days. Don't rush. "Garon smiled. "Have you noticed that the air here is different from other places?"
Wukang was taken aback. He sniffed carefully and closed his eyes to feel and distinguish.
A few minutes later, he opened his eyes again, a trace of surprise flashing through his eyes.
"There seems to be a very unusual activity in the air here! It seems to have a positive effect on our totems. I feel like my core totem has become more active. "
"Me too." Garen squinted his eyes. "No wonder there are so many powerhouses stationed and fighting over the strongholds. It seems like it's not as simple as the Seed of the Ancestral God. The locations of these strongholds are also very important. "
"It seems like that's the case. The Central Region is full of strange things. If I hadn't come here personally, I wouldn't have thought that there would be an environment in this world that could stimulate totem activity. This is the best environment to cultivate totems. No wonder the level of the mutated creatures around here is so high. "
"So don't be anxious. Just wait patiently. " Garon picked up a piece of cherry meat. "Let's take this opportunity to find out what we want."
Wukang also nodded in relief.
*****
The two of them stayed in the stronghold for more than ten days. The active air around the Ancestral God Tree was getting thicker and thicker. Even their core totems were getting more and more active, full of energy.
Especially Garen, his core totem was different from the average totem user. He used the Silver Totem as his core, and not the original Mercury Totem. As a Nine-Headed Hydra that had evolved from a living creature, it was even more active in the presence of this active air. It raised its head and breathed in Garon's dark space. It inhaled a huge amount of active air, and then breathed out waste.
This metabolism and the exchange of impurities made Garon feel like he was improving every day.
There was also his heart, which was originally the heart of the Nine-Headed Hydra. Under this lively aura, it became even more lively and pulsated even more vigorously.
Garon took this opportunity to practice the Black Water True Technique day and night. Not long after, the fourth dragon head showed signs of merging. This made him overjoyed. He thought it would take a few more weeks. He didn't expect the active air here to speed up his merging process.
Garon went into seclusion, and stayed in a secret room in the stronghold. Wukang was in charge of the outside.
On the other hand, the Sixth Princess came to visit Garen every day. Her big, affectionate eyes showed her intentions without any hesitation. Garen's seclusion also happened to avoid this kind of awkward pursuit. He let Wukang deal with it.
When it came to dealing with women, Wukang was more than experienced. However, he spent all day talking about this and that, constantly trying to subtly change Garen's image in the other party's mind, but the results were still minimal.
The time for the Ancestral God Tree to release the Seed of the Ancestral God was getting closer and closer.
Some people in Kovitan who weren't afraid of death also approached the stronghold, trying to get a share of the loot. They were chased away by the red-robed man. Now that some of them heard that the stronghold had changed owners, they were hopeful.
Garon and the rest didn't care about them. Each person could only condense one Seed of the Ancestral God. The seed's activity was different depending on the distance. The stronghold's location was the densest seed condensation point on the second floor. The seed's effect was the best on the second floor. The other places naturally couldn't compare.
But those who could enter the second floor weren't normal totem users. They wouldn't be chased away like the red-robed man. Anyway, he couldn't collect all the active air. Seeing that they were all from Kovitan, he didn't care about them.
Time was approaching.
Finally, the Ancestral God Tree had a new movement.
*****
At night
Garon suddenly woke up from his Secret Technique practice.
A trace of doubt flashed through his eyes that were faintly glowing red in the dark.
"The activity in the air seems to be stronger? Compared to the slow increase before, this time it's increased by a few times! "
He stood up, pushed open the door of the secret room, and walked out.
Most of the damaged parts of the white sandstone stronghold were repaired. The semi-circular floor-to-ceiling window in the living room clearly reflected the scenery outside.
The sky was filled with green light spots, like snowflakes falling slowly, illuminating the entire forest at night. Everywhere was green. The green light shone in from the window, dyeing most of the floor of the stronghold's living room green.
Garon opened his eyes wide, looking at the countless green light spots falling outside, his eyes flashing with surprise.
He quickly walked over, opened the door of the living room, and planned to go out and take a look.
Suddenly, an incomparably huge grey toad was blocking the opening of the door. The three-meter tall toad had completely blocked off the main entrance. Its white belly was bulging, and its two protruding black eyes were staring at Garen.
Its whole body was covered with grey lumps of various sizes. Its rough skin was like the bark of an old tree. It looked very hard, and even had a bit of moisture. A faint stench came from its body.
Garon frowned slightly. He was more sensitive to smells.
"The sixth stronghold, condensation is about to begin. Please get ready." The toad opened its mouth, and spoke in Daniela language.
"Got it." Garon nodded.
"By the way, the life force outside is too strong. Please don't go out, in case you encounter danger." After the toad finished, it hopped towards the wilderness.
Garon stood at the door and watched it leave. The Wukang Island Master appeared behind him without a sound.
"It's starting at night?" He was still rubbing his eyes, wearing white pajamas, and looked like he was sleeping soundly.
"Let's get ready." Garon nodded.
After the two changed, they casually drank some fruit juice, took the breakfast bread provided by Daniela, and ate as they went to the rooftop on the second floor of the stronghold.
The rooftop was a semi-circular balcony without any railings, and was completely white.
The two finished the bread in a few bites, and stood at the place with the markings on the ground. There were three oval-shaped tactical formations, which were obviously used to condense seeds.
The sky was filled with green light spots, and Garon stretched out his hand to catch them. However, as if they were illusions, the light spots directly penetrated his palm and came out from below.
The extremely strong life force seemed to have a life of its own, and crazily went into his mouth, ears, and nostrils. The Nine-Headed Dragon in Garon's body crazily absorbed the life force, and its originally dispirited mental state became more and more vigorous.
He looked at the Ancestral God Tree from afar. The life force here had already reached a terrifying density, and the innermost area should be even more terrifying.
Garon's abnormal eyesight looked from afar, and actually saw Phiroth from afar.
This powerful King of Daniela was sitting opposite a black bear, on a big branch of the Ancestral God Tree. There was a small stool between the two, and on it was a chessboard. They were focused on playing chess.
The black bear scratched its head from time to time, and looked like it was in deep thought. After a while, it stood up and stared at the chessboard with its hands behind its back.
Beside the two of them, there were a few servants with rabbit heads and human figures, in charge of serving drinks and food. These rabbit heads had the heads of big white rabbits, and their ears were raised high. Their bodies had the bodies of human beauties, with perky breasts, slender legs, and fair skin. They wore cool white low-cut dresses.
Chi!!
Suddenly, a green light pillar shot out from the right side of the forest, and shot up into the sky, piercing through the clouds.
The slender green light was straight and pure, without any impurities, and shot up into the sky.
Chi chi!!
After a few light sounds, another few green light pillars shot up into the sky.
Garon came back to his senses, and nodded at Wukang.
Both of their hands started to move rapidly at the same time, and their ten fingers continuously drew a large number of densely-packed symbols in the air, almost bringing out afterimages.
As the two of them drew the tactical formation faster and faster, a layer of emerald green light gradually filled the air around the two of them.
Chi!!
Suddenly, a blinding green light shot out from between the two of them, and shot straight up into the sky.
The green light pillar completely enveloped the two of them, and in the air in front of their chests, a small black particle gradually condensed.
The particle slowly grew bigger, bigger, and more oval.
Then, vaguely, the black ball gradually emitted wisps of white water vapor, and its shape became flatter.
Poof!
A hole suddenly split open at the bottom of the ball, and a gust of white gas spewed out. Following the white gas, a green toothpaste-like thing squeezed out of the hole, and floated in the air in front of Garon.
The green paste was squeezed out one by one, and piled together in circles. At the end, there was still a sharp tip, and a faint steam floated out, forming a very artistic mysterious object.
Garon's eyelids twitched, and he looked at the object in front of him that looked like the legendary excrement.
"Don't tell me this is the legendary Seed of the Ancestral God?"
On the other side, Wukang's expression was also very interesting, green and white. Looking at the green excrement in front of him, he didn't know whether to take it or not.
The green light around the two of them gradually dispersed, and everything returned to normal.
The green light spots in the air also slowly faded, and disappeared. The ground was left with green fluorescent residue, and the entire forest was covered in green light.
"Congratulations everyone, you've obtained the legendary Seed of the Ancestral God! Hehe, isn't this year's shape very artistic? "A loud voice came from the direction of the Ancestral God Tree. It was Phiroth's voice.
There was an awkward silence, and no one made a sound. None of the powerhouses knew how to react to this Seed of the Ancestral God. They couldn't resist Phiroth's bad taste.
"His Majesty's taste … is very unique …" An old man's voice came from the first floor far away.
Then, two female voices laughed dryly in agreement.
Garon looked at the Ancestral God Tree from afar. On that huge branch, Phiroth stood proudly with his hands on his hips, and behind him was a black bear and a handsome young man with an embarrassed expression. Clearly, Phiroth's actions had embarrassed Gania for eight lifetimes.
Garon's face twitched, and in the end, he still put away this pile of what looked like the excrement of the Ancestral God Tree. He didn't touch it with his hands, but condensed the water vapor in the air to form a tray, and wrapped the green excrement, and put it into an isolation box that he had prepared beforehand.
"I've learned something new … I've really learned something new this time …" Island Master Wukang shook his head at the side, with a pained expression on his face. "Do you think we should absorb this, or not?"
Garon's face twitched. "Appearance is just an illusion, don't be bound by worldly standards …"
