The Blue crystals on the branches, their light dimd a bit compared to the Secret Realm, and so small crystals even showed signs of cracking.
"What’s happening here? Could it be that these trees can only survive in the Secret Realm?"
Qin Tian pondered, raising his hand once more and infusing a richer Life Force into the Cold Trees, trying to forcefully enable them to rge with the land. Yet no matter how hard he tried, those Cold Trees still seed resistant, their roots unable to establish connection with the frozen soil, with their overall condition slowly worsening.
"It seems I was too optimistic."
Qin Tian shook his head helplessly, a hint of regret in his tone.
"Boss, aren’t these trees looking good?" Poisonous Widow queried, sowhat puzzled.
Qin Tian explained, "On the surface, there’s no issue, but they haven’t assimilated into this environnt at all. They’re just consuming their stored Energy to maintain their state. If this continues, I’d estimate these trees will completely wither within three days."
"Ah!"
The others were shocked, lacking any plant-related Talent, they could only see surface phenona, never imagining these Cold Trees were already facing a crisis of withering, indicating the transplant by the boss had failed.
For a mont, everyone fell silent, their anticipation gradually replaced by regret, even the snow and wind in the air seed to have beco a bit colder.
Qin Tian looked at the crystals on the Cold Trees’ branches, dimming further, and felt a bit of helplessness, preparing to reclaim these trees and think of other thods in the future.
At this mont, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind: "I think... I can awaken them."
Qin Tian swiftly turned, his gaze falling on Blue, eyes instantly igniting with surprise: "Blue, you can awaken these Cold Trees?"
Blue gently nodded, a hint of confusion passing through his azure pupils, yet carried a trace of certainty:
"Yes. I can sense them yearning for my power... Qin Tian, you were right, these trees are connected to , but I still can’t rember anything about them."
As he spoke, Blue slowly raised his right hand. Without any superfluous movents, an extre pure and cold Energy emanated from his palm, sprinkling onto each Cold Tree like fine spring rain.
That Energy carried no trace of aggressiveness, instead bore a kind of gentle affinity, falling on the branches and roots of the Cold Trees, as though injecting a clear spring into arid land.
"Swoosh—"
Almost at the mont of contact with the Cold Trees, the previously limp Cold Trees suddenly awakened with vigor.
The branches lightly swayed, as if cheering, the Blue crystals on the branches darted to life, their brilliance even more dazzling than in the Secret Realm, emitting tinkling sounds upon collision, crisp and pleasant like wind chis.
Beneath the soil, the roots rapidly established connection with the frozen ground, actively began absorbing nutrients from the soil under the nourishnt of this Energy.
Next, sothing even more peculiar occurred
Centered around the Cold Trees, a circle of pale Blue light mbrane slowly expanded outward, enveloping most of Ice Extre Pass like the barrier in the Secret Realm.
The fierce snowstorm crashed against the light mbrane, instantly getting blocked outside, only able to howl impotently beyond the barrier.
Within the barrier, the previously ravaging cold wind vanished, even the falling snowflakes beco gentler, fluttering down like willow catkins.
Even more astonishing, the barrier seed to actively absorb the chill from the snowstorm, converting it into Energy to nourish the Cold Trees, with tiny new crystals visibly growing at the branches at an observable speed.
"This... is..."
The squad leader Zhang Hao gaped, pointing at the pale Blue barrier, his voice trembling.
Stationed on Mingwang Planet for years, he had never witnessed such a miraculous spectacle—these Cold Trees could actually create a barrier to repel snowstorms, and could absorb cold to grow energy crystals.
This wasn’t any ordinary tree, but a "Divine Tree" of Mingwang Planet!
The soldiers guarding the city wall also witnessed this astonishing scene, streams of exclamations echoing continuously on the wall.
Especially those soldiers covered by the barrier, who could clearly feel the temperature changes around them.
The bone-chilling cold gradually dissipated, replaced by a kind of gentle coolness. The temperature gauge they carried showed the numbers jumping continuously before stabilizing at around minus forty degrees, slowly rising.
"Minus forty-two degrees! This temperature... isn’t much different from the winter on an ordinary planet!" shouted an excited soldier looking at the temperature gauge.
It was known that under extre night conditions on Mingwang Planet, the average temperature should approach minus one hundred thirty degrees, yet because of this barrier, it forcibly rose nearly ninety degrees. Not only Spiritualists, but even ordinary people, wearing regular winter gear, could function normally under such conditions.
Qin Tian stood still, his gaze fixed tightly on the pale Blue barrier enveloping most of Ice Extre Pass, his heart overwheld with a mix of shock and delight, far more intense than anyone else.
The revivification of the Cold Trees solved the energy and financial challenges of Ice Extre Pass, already enough to bring joy, but what truly excited him was the barrier upheld by the Cold Trees—its value far exceeded imagination, holding profound implications ahead.
Qin Tian knew all too well the plight of Mingwang Planet.
The core restricting factor preventing this planet from developing, was its perennial extre frigid temperatures.
No city or settlent could thrive solely relying on Spiritualists; they inevitably needed masses of ordinary people involved in production, construction, and comrcial activities.
