(Third Update)
In Chaos Ghost City, Ghost King Xuan Lie immediately took out many resources and began to cultivate the Ghost Mother Tree. He wanted it to take root and sprout.
The other Ghost Kings of Chaos Ghost City were also present. They surrounded the tree, mainly to protect it and prevent it from being disturbed.
Chen Zong stared curiously at the tree that was beating like a heart.
As Ghost King Xuan Lie melted the precious resources and threw them into the tree, the tree continued to absorb energy. It beat more and more violently, as if it was constantly expanding. It made a sound like a big drum, which reverberated in all directions and created layers of ripples.
When the energy accumulated to the maximum, there was a cracking sound. The tree broke open from top to bottom, and the roots extended out. With the determination of a sharp sword piercing through the air, they pierced into the ground and continued to spread and take root.
Chen Zong released his consciousness and integrated it into the Ghost Mother Tree. He followed the roots of the Ghost Mother Tree and observed it carefully.
"This feeling …" Chen Zong seemed to have understood something.
He continued to devour the will of the Ghost Mother Tree and strengthen the will of the Tianyuan Sacred Domain that he carried. It seemed that he did not directly gain any substantial benefits, but he did gain some intangible benefits. First, it was the pure energy that was similar to the origin, which merged into the depths of his body and kept accumulating. Second, it was that his comprehension was also affected and temporarily increased.
Chen Zong's comprehension was already amazing. With the increase, it was even more amazing.
At this moment, he saw the roots of the Ghost Mother Tree break open and grow out. The roots were as sharp as the branches of the Ghost Mother Tree. They pierced through the air and penetrated the ground. They had the determination and sharpness of a peerless swordsman.
This made Chen Zong have a deeper understanding of swordsmanship. However, this deeper understanding came after the roots penetrated the ground.
The roots were like peerless divine swords. They pierced through the hard ground and penetrated deeply. There was an indomitable determination.
Chen Zong knew very well that the ground of the Ghost's Territory was very hard, like fine steel. The deeper he went, the harder it became. With his current strength, he estimated that he could only stab about ten meters into the ground if he used all of his strength.
But in the blink of an eye, the roots of the Ghost Mother Tree pierced more than ten meters into the ground, and they were still going down. Chen Zong's divine sense was also following the roots, using them as sharp swords.
Everywhere!
In just a short period of time, the roots of the Mother Ghost Tree had penetrated tens of meters into the ground, covering hundreds of meters in radius. Moreover, it was still spreading.
At the same time, the branches extended upwards, turning into a main trunk that continued to grow taller and taller, soaring into the sky.
Chen Zong's Spiritual Sense seemed to have completely merged with the Ghost Mother Tree, growing along with it.
A unique kind of understanding also lingered in his heart, gushing out in his mind and reverberating in his mind.
Chen Zong felt that his body seemed to have disappeared. It was as if he had become a tree that sprouted from a seed and slowly grew.
It was an indescribable feeling of gratitude and joy.
He did not know how much time had passed before he suddenly woke up. His consciousness returned to his body, bringing with it a surge of understanding.
At this moment, the Ghost Mother Tree had grown to a height of one thousand meters, the same height as the Ghost Mother Tree in the Profound Realm. However, in terms of aura, it was more vigorous and tyrannical. After all, it was a Ghost Mother Tree that had been planted from a natural tree.
The Ghost Mother Tree had taken shape. Next, it would continue to pour in precious resources, absorb the power of the Ghost Realm, and continue to grow. This would take some time.
Chen Zong said goodbye and returned to the Ghost Blade Sect to begin his closed-door training.
In that moment, he seemed to have transformed into the Ghost Mother Tree and integrated all his experiences into his own Sword Principle.
A kind of resolute and indomitable sharpness quietly condensed in Chen Zong's body, becoming more and more tyrannical. As the Heart Sword Will trembled slightly, more potential was incessantly stimulated.
Time passed slowly. Chen Zong opened his eyes, but there was no radiance. Instead, it was completely locked, flowing in the depths of his eyes like ripples of water.
In an instant, there seemed to be an undetectable light streaking across the void. That was the sword light. Chen Zong had struck with his sword.
However, the sword was too fast. It seemed to have merged into the void and was difficult to detect.
But in the next moment, a series of fine sword marks spread out rapidly, like the roots of the Ghost Mother Tree spreading in all directions.
The void seemed to have turned into the earth, and the Sword Qi was like the roots of the Ghost Mother Tree, deeply rooted and covering a radius of several meters.
Of course, compared to the thousands of meters of the Ghost Mother Tree's roots, a radius of several meters was like a firefly compared to the bright moon.
But Chen Zong was more aware of the difference.
"Perhaps, this kind of Sword Qi will cause more damage to the Ghost Clan," Chen Zong said to himself.
Previously, when he struck with his sword, the Sword Qi would penetrate or tear the target. However, if the target was very strong, the Sword Qi could only cause a small or even minor damage.
But now, under his enlightenment, the Sword Qi could grow like the roots of the Ghost Mother Tree, spreading in all directions and increasing the damage by many times.
If he merged the Sword Qi into Silk, even the Ghost Lord of the Ghost Aspect Tribe would not be able to withstand it.
Chen Zong was only guessing. He needed to find a target to test it out.
But before that, he still needed to cultivate for a while.
With a flip of his hand, a fist-sized, pitch-black, exotic fruit appeared in Chen Zong's hand. It was covered with red veins.
This exotic fruit was like a heart, beating continuously. It was slow but powerful.
This was the substantial reward that the Ghost Lord Xuan Lie had given to Chen Zong. It was better than raising his ranking from tenth to fourth, at least for Chen Zong.
With the exotic fruit in his hand, Chen Zong immediately felt a desire coming from his body. He wanted to swallow and absorb the fruit.
This was an exotic fruit that was very useful for his physique.
Swallow!
As soon as the mutant fruit entered his mouth, it was immediately chewed up. The juice surged in his mouth like a torrent. It made Chen Zong feel as if what he had eaten was not a fruit, but a river that had burst its banks. If he was not careful, it would rush out of his mouth and spit out.
But Chen Zong kept his mouth shut.
The taste of this fruit was strange, pungent, and irritating. It was like a mouthful of blood. It was hard to accept, but he had to swallow it.
Chen Zong swallowed the fruit juice in his mouth. It flowed down his esophagus like a torrential river, like a waterfall that was tens of thousands of feet high, full of power.
As the juice entered his stomach, rumbling resounded as if it had transformed into a torrent of lava that was extremely blazing, and it intended to incinerate Chen Zong's limbs and bones into nothingness.
Refine!
Absorb!
The high-level Flower of Essence condensed on top of his head. As he continued to refine and absorb the juice of the exotic fruit, it gradually solidified.
The degree of solidification of the Flower of Extreme could be divided into 100%. 100% was perfect, it was completely solidified, and 10% was just a shadow.
Before Chen Zong ate the exotic fruit, the degree of solidification of his Flower of Essence was 30%.
Now, it had reached 40% and was still in the process of solidification.
It was not until 50% that the power of the exotic fruit was depleted.
A single exotic fruit directly increased the degree of solidification of the Flower of Essence by 20%. It was indeed amazing. Of course, the effect of such exotic fruits would be obvious for the first time. The subsequent effects would weaken or even become ineffective.
However, with the 20% increase in the degree of solidification of the Flower of Essence, he could feel the strength of his physique growing stronger. His combat strength had also increased.
Then, Chen Zong took out a black flower. It was the size of a palm and looked as scary as a ghost's claw. It was covered with red veins and patterns.
This was also the reward that Ghost King Xuan Lie gave to Chen Zong.
This time, Chen Zong's contribution could be said to be great. He had to be rewarded.
This flower, however, was used to enhance the Flower of God.
Chen Zong's Flower of God was at the top level. The degree of solidification was 10%.
Take it!
The taste of the flower that looked like a ghost's claw was even stranger. It was indescribable. Chen Zong could only force himself to swallow it.
Immediately, an extremely spicy taste spread throughout his body. It turned into a stream of air that seemed both hot and cold. It penetrated his Spirit Sea and rushed out along the top of his head. It merged with the Flower of God.
The Flower of God started to solidify bit by bit.
The more solidified it was, the stronger it became.
When the flower that looked like a ghost's claw was consumed, Chen Zong's Flower of God had also solidified from 10% to 30%. It did not look as illusory as before.
"Not bad. The Flower of Essence and the Flower of God have become more solidified. My combat strength has increased by at least 30%," Chen Zong thought to himself.
At this level, a 30% increase in combat strength was no doubt amazing. Moreover, he was very good at turning one part of his strength into two or even three parts.
In this way, the 30% increase was only superficial. In reality, the increase would be much greater.
After consolidating his strength, Chen Zong came out of seclusion.
Without the help of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, although he could still condense the Flower of Extreme by himself, the efficiency would undoubtedly be very low and the speed would be very slow.
As soon as he came out of seclusion, Chen Zong quickly left the Ghost Blade Sect and the Chaotic Ghost City.
In the Heavenly Ghost Wasteland, Chen Zong was looking for a suitable target.
The Ghost Beast King!
He had just done a big job. For the next period of time, he needed to keep a low profile and try his best to increase his combat strength. In the dark, Chen Zong had an ominous premonition. He also felt a gust of dense malice that seemed to be gathering from all directions to target him.
Strength!
He needed to be more powerful.
Now, it was not good to kill his way into the ghost tribe. He could only attack the Ghost Beast King.
Although the Ghost Beast King's Ghost Beast Will was not as strong as that of a Ghost King, it was still far stronger than that of an upper-level Ghost General.
In addition, he needed a suitable target to test the power of the sword that he had comprehended.
In the Heavenly Ghost Wasteland, ghost beasts ran rampant, almost endless. There were also many Ghost Beast Kings. Not long after, Chen Zong found a Ghost Beast King.
He drew his sword!
A sword slashed through the air, and the Ghost Beast King was struck without even noticing. In an instant, strands of Sword Qi were like roots breaking through a tree. They quickly spread throughout the Ghost Beast King's body, as if they had taken root. Each strand of Sword Qi burst forth with astonishing sharpness, wantonly destroying every part of the Ghost Beast King's body.
Under normal circumstances, the Ghost Beast King's body would be stronger than the Ghost Beast Kings of the lower eighteen divisions. However, it was still unable to resist Chen Zong's sword.
In just a breath, the Ghost Beast King's vitality was rapidly drained. Its body was also torn apart by the Sword Qi that looked like the roots of the Ghost Mother Tree. It died a violent death.
