Blood Qi and spirit force were two major directions in the cultivation of Spirit Stream Realm cultivators. Being abundant in blood Qi ant having a robust physique, which was beneficial for cultivators of all sects, while spirit force was fundantal for cultivators engaging in combat.
The speed of flow of both elents directly related to the strength of a cultivator.
Why would a cultivator beco much stronger after switching to a Heaven Rank technique? First, because after adopting a Heaven Rank technique, the control over one's spirit force improved greatly. Second, the speed at which the spirit force flowed within the body also underwent a qualitative change.
This royal jelly could enhance the flow speed of blood Qi and spirit force, effectively strengthening the physique of physique cultivators while also enhancing the strength of the cultivator.
Take Lu Ye, for example, after consuming a bottle of royal jelly, his cultivation level remained unchanged, yet the strength he could exert was stronger than before.
It was uncertain whether this effect was permanent or temporary. If it were temporary, then it wasn't very valuable—so elixir pills could achieve this, like the Explosive Qi Pill, which could temporarily enhance a cultivator's strength, however, its side effects were severe. Carelessness could result in serious damage to the spiritual orifices.
If it were permanent, then the value of this royal jelly would be imasurable.
The efficacy of the royal jelly would have to be verified over ti; for now, it was unclear.
Lu Ye focused his thoughts on the Talent Tree, looking at the area of the tree burning with orange flas, which increasingly resembled a bird perched on the tree, even when he changed viewing angles.
It was quite peculiar indeed.
With a settled mind, Lu Ye randomly chose a leaf, focusing his attention, wanting to see clearly the spirit runes carried by the Talent Tree.
A sudden anomaly occurred!
In his field of vision, the bird-like figure perched on the Talent Tree seed to co to life and suddenly flew from the tree, the orange flas burning fiercely. As the bird fluttered its wings, dragging a long tail feather, its noble and sacred silhouette montarily filled Lu Ye's vision and overwheld his psyche.
A clear and lodious chirping sounded in his mind, loud yet lingering.
Lu Ye, without uttering a sound, promptly fainted.
Back in Evil Moon Valley Mine, when the Talent Tree was activated and Lu Ye received his first spirit rune, he encountered this very event, only that ti he had not undergone orifice-opening and was exceedingly weak, so his psyche could hardly bear the many complex informations carried by the leaf.
But as his cultivation gradually increased, incidents of fainting while examining the Talent Tree never happened again, especially after returning from Xianyuan City, his psyche had greatly strengthened. Researching the Talent Tree then, the imnse information from the leaves felt like a gentle breeze on his face.
Lu Ye never expected that a day would co when he would faint again from the impact while examining the Talent Tree, without even a mont to react.
...
In the tranquil and dim land of legacy, a pool of green water rippled, and a graceful figure erged, clear water cascading down her radiant skin.
She inhaled greedily, as if reborn.
Looking at the clear pool before her and recalling the tornt and pain she endured these days, she couldn't help shivering.
She didn't know how she managed to endure through those days.
The water in this pool wasn't always so clear but was a greenish color. She learned from the legacy that this was a poisonous pond, and without a unique secret technique to protect the body, even a Divine Sea Realm cultivator would be severely injured if they fell into it.
While cultivating in the pool, many tis she narrowly escaped death, but fortunately, she always turned danger into safety at the last mont.
Thinking back to when she chose to inherit this legacy, she couldn't understand where she got such courage from. If she had to choose again at this mont, she might not have the sa courage.
Having tried it, she knew the agony and tornt of inheriting this legacy, enduring not only physical but also psychic torture with agonizingly clear consciousness.
Fortunately, it was all over now.
She stepped out of the Ten Thousand Poisons Pond, the pool water sliding down her exaggerated curves. She stimulated her spirit force to dry off the moisture on her body, and took out her robes from her storage sack.
She was of a calm and dignified nature, normally wearing mostly white robes, but now looking at the white robe in her hands, for so reason, she didn't like it. After so thought, she changed into a green robe.
Now she was satisfied.
Dressed neatly and having combed her hair, she touched her battlefield marking, ready to share this joy.
Suddenly she rembered, this place was the land of legacy, isolated from the outside world and existing as its own space, so ssages couldn't be transmitted to the outside.
Thinking of that guy, she smiled slightly. The next ti he dared to casually grab her hand, she would definitely make him regret coming into this world!
Taking out a Great Array Jade Cluster, she activated its power, and her view quickly shifted. Under a sky bright with the moon and sparse with stars, she spread her arms to embrace the moonlight, feeling an unprecedented sense of relief and lightness.
She no longer worried about not being able to keep up with his steps.
That day, the most formidable healing cultivator of the Nine Provinces ca out of seclusion!
...
His consciousness foggy, Lu Ye did not know where he was, only feeling that the environnt was extrely cramped and oppressive. He tried to stretch his body, but sothing seed to be restricting him all around.
Soon, he realized that he had been unconscious, but what was this consciousness that had awakened?
This was very strange, like being aware that one is dreaming while in the midst of a dream.
Lu Ye treated his current situation as a dream, eager to wake up, yet he was unable to do so.
His consciousness gradually grew clearer, but his surroundings remained unchanged.
After an unknown amount of ti, a light click sounded, and a sliver of brightness pierced the darkness. Looking up, the sky seed to have cracked open a gap.
Then, the gap widened, and the world around crumbled.
A fluffy little creature suddenly appeared, surrounded by fragnted eggshells…
Only then did Lu Ye realize that everything he had experienced was not his own. Instead, he was observing from a spectator's perspective as a little chick erged from its shell…
It didn't seem like just any chick. The little creature was much larger than a normal chick, more spirited, and upon birth, it gobbled up all the broken eggshells into its belly until it was round. The chick burped and expelled a burst of fla that flashed and disappeared…
Ti seed to accelerate countless tis. Scene after scene flowed quickly through Lu Ye's vision. The chick grew, transforming into a bird ablaze with orange flas, clad in colorful feathers, with long plus trailing from its tail.
The Four Auspicious Sacred Beasts, Vermillion Bird!
Lu Ye's vision followed this Vermillion Bird, witnessing its growth, watching as it vanquished its powerful enemies, invincible. One day, the world could no longer contain its burning desire for exploration.
It soared into the sky, flying beyond, venturing into the vast and boundless stellar space to explore a broader world.
Ti slipped by indeterminably, until a mass of orange flas fell from the sky, burning through the heavens, streaking across the sky, and crashing into the earth.
Where the flas landed, the ground was scorched through, and the entire world shook. The fire obliterated everything within thousands of miles, turning all to ash.
...
Lu Ye suddenly opened his eyes. In an instant, indescribable pain surged from the depths of his mind, causing his entire body to curl up and shake violently, his complexion as pale as paper.
Given the strength of his psyche now, although it might not compare to soone in the Divine Sea Realm, it probably wasn't far off. Yet to have such an intense reaction after receiving information from the leaves of the Talent Tree indicated the vast content of that information!
Shivering, he took out the Soul Cleansing Water, no longer minding how much he drank, and gulped it down.
The agony in his psyche slowly subsided. Exhausted, he lay on the ground, his mind fuzzy, eyes unseeing, and he fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke, he still felt a residual horror. Shaking his head, it seed as if his brain was rocking along with it. It had been a long ti since he'd experienced such sensations, yet he did not expect to encounter a pain far exceeding any he had suffered before.
Lu Ye vaguely suspected that had his psyche not been so strong, he might have been utterly overwheld by the massive influx of information.
Sorting through the chaotic information in his mind, he finally understood why he had undergone such an ordeal.
This ti, the burning leaves were not isolated; they were part of a whole, containing such massive information that each leaf carried a fraction of it.
Inspecting any single leaf was essentially inspecting the entirety.
In other words, the information from one to two hundred leaves rushed into Lu Ye's mind all at once. And even though his psyche far surpassed the Spirit Stream Realm, there was ultimately a limit to what he could bear, which had caused him to faint.
The peculiar scenes he saw while unconscious were not information from the Talent Tree leaves, but from the flas previously devoured by the Talent Tree.
Those flas, emanating from the Vermillion Bird of the Four Auspicious Sacred Beasts, were a fragnt of the incomplete Phoenix True Fire. Because of the vast lapse of ti, that already incomplete Phoenix True Fire had weakened considerably, which is why the scenarios Lu Ye witnessed were intermittent.
He had no idea what the Vermillion Bird encountered after leaving his world, so devastated that only a cluster of Phoenix True Fire remained, ultimately drifting to the Spirit Stream battlefield and creating the Land of Fiery Flas.
There were rumors that the phoenix could undergo Nirvana and be reborn. Lu Ye did not know if this rumor was true, but now it seed highly unlikely…
Since the Phoenix True Fire had been devoured by the Talent Tree, how could it possibly undergo Nirvana?
The information contained in the one to two hundred leaves combined into a single spirit rune, which was also a magic and spells.
Spirit runes and magic and spells fundantally do not differ too much; it's just that the forr is more diverse and widely applicable, while the latter focuses on combat.
If one must compare, then magic and spells are simplified spirit runes.
The new spirit rune that Lu Ye acquired was called—Fire Phoenix!
