Chapter 320 Spiritual Energy Tide, Ancient Wood Spiritual Awakening.
Ancient Wood Umbrella Cover shaded like a canopy, shielding the firmament for miles around, and beneath the shade lay a small village, home to over three hundred families.
There were not many cultivators, only around twenty or thirty people, while the rest of them, albeit unfamiliar with Cultivation Skills, lived here because
Chu Zheng was interested in this ancient tree because it naturally nurtured a Spirit Vortex, similar to human meridians. Limited by innate talent and lacking cultivation skills, it had reached its limit by growing instinctively to its current state.
Previously, Wu Tong, whom he had met during his incarnations through calamities, was originally a phoenix tree nurtured by the Essence Blood of an Ancestral Realm creature, which eventually grew into the Realm of Ancient Myths.
In the Spirit Moon Great Realm, the overall environment was relatively peaceful; with powerful beings suppressing from above, and Spirit Moon providing regular cultivation resources from below, battles and skirmishes among the numerous Floating Islands were relatively few, leaving a considerable room for Chu Zheng to grow.
Chu Zheng did not hesitate much, and his Soul Division entered into the ancient tree before him.
As his Divine Sense gradually merged with the ancient tree, Chu Zheng's perception started to change, his limbs and bones slowly fading from his senses, countless roots were firmly locked by the earth, unable to move.
Due to his cultivation level, although Silver Radiance Wood had reached the Fourth Order, it still lacked the capacity for autonomous movement.
At this moment, he had no eyes, yet the sceneries from all directions vividly appeared in his mind.
For Chu Zheng, this sensation was somewhat novel.
Beneath the tree, children were playing, their playful noises clearly entering Chu Zheng's perception.
A little boy left the group, ran to a corner, undid his protective belt, and urinated at the tree root.
"..."
The perception of Spirit Wood was very dull, lacking a nervous system; at least Chu Zheng had not noticed anything unusual.
There was no pain, no comfort, not even the concept of sensation; he felt as though he had turned into a completely immobile corpse.
...
...
The body of the tree was too vast and markedly different from the bodies of living creatures, and it took nearly two years for Chu Zheng to fully control this Silver Radiance Wood.
Through exploration, he had gradually mastered all the Spirit Vortices on the trunk, simulated the flow of Qi veins, and significantly increased the efficiency of absorbing nature's spiritual energy, hundreds of times more than just relying on instincts.
However, there were some issues with the absorption of Yin Yang Dual Qi by the Silver Radiance Wood.
Spirit Wood divides into Yin and Yang types, and unlike living creatures, it is difficult to integrate both Yin and Yang.
And Silver Radiance Wood, being a Yang Wood, had absorbed sunlight year-round and accumulated a vast amount of Yang Yuan inside its branches, with scarcely any Yin Qi.
Moreover, this place was not on solid ground but a Floating Island, with even scarcer earth-origin Yin Qi.
Chu Zheng needed to expend a great deal of energy absorbing copious amounts of Moonlight during the night to neutralize the Yang Yuan.
This was an extremely lengthy process, requiring endless and monotonous circulation of Qi, for which, Chu Zheng had ample patience.
In the blink of an eye, over two hundred years had passed.
During these years, Chu Zheng never ceased, tirelessly absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi day and night.
The Spirit Wood's main body grew further, its realm advancing to the Sixth Order, its trunk growing several times thicker, and its canopy expanding more than a hundredfold, stretching over an area of more than ten thousand acres, aptly described as blotting out the sun and sky.
Under the shade of the trees, the small village had, over the course of more than two hundred years, transformed into a city with a population exceeding one million.
Due to Chu Zheng's cultivation, the concentration of spiritual energy here exceeded that of other places, attracting many cultivators; some smaller families even relocated their entire households to settle here.
As a result of Chu Zheng's presence, the city was thus named Silver Splendor City, which over the years became increasingly prosperous and thriving.
Regarding this, Chu Zheng remained undistracted, constantly immersed in his cultivation. With the elevation of his realm, he was now able to manipulate some branches and leaves, capable of executing some divine skills, at least possessing the ability to defend himself.
At this moment, he also discovered the advantages of an Otherkind body; the massive original body brought about a more vigorous primordial source.
Being of the Sixth Order, the foundation Chu Zheng possessed now surpassed that of his original body's state in the Tongxuan Realm by more than a hundredfold, far exceeding ordinary cultivators from the Immortal Tribulation Secret Realm.
While Chu Zheng was absorbed in his intensive cultivation, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi suddenly became restless and highly unstable.
In an instant, he was roused from his submerged cultivation, his divine sense extending into the city, quickly understanding the reason.
The Spirit Moon Great Realm's spiritual energy tide that occurs once every 330 years was approaching.
Before Chu Zheng could react, the numerous floating islands nearby lit up with spiritual light. Ascending formation patterns shone, starting to operate.
Chu Zheng carefully sensed the movement within the city below, and soon understood.
This wave of spiritual energy tides also marked the time for all the great floating islands to compete for resources and shares of spiritual energy, with all the spirit-gathering arrays lighting up at this moment.@@novelbin@@
Furthermore, this competition would also affect the cultivation aptitudes of newborns within the various great floating islands for the subsequent 330 years.
Through the sense provided by his Qi-refining technique, Chu Zheng perceived some differences; the robust heavenly fate of this realm, along with the surges of spiritual energy, began to flow.
The impact on the newborns seemed to be related to this heavenly fate.
Boom—
A thunderous roar resonated from the layers of clouds, as a majestic tide of spiritual energy surged up from below. The fog contained dew, nearly liquefied. Some smaller floating islands were impacted, drifting away, being casually seized by some powerful living creatures and integrated into some continents.
The floating island where Chu Zheng was also began to tremble slightly, showing signs of displacement.
Various colors of spiritual lights accompanied the tides, splashing everywhere; among them were Immortal Crystal Divine Mines, all sorts of spiritual objects, and countless essences of spirit stones.
Following the immense tide of spiritual energy, a remarkably intense moonlight also appeared.
Chu Zheng didn't miss this rare opportunity. His branches spread out, and his roots deeply penetrated into the floating island, drawing in the surrounding Yin Qi to neutralize the Yang Yuan that this Silver Radiance Wood had accumulated over the long years.
This tree of Silver Radiance Wood had grown here for one hundred thousand years, accumulating an astonishing amount of Yang Yuan, and what Chu Zheng had utilized over the past two hundred years was merely the tip of the iceberg.
He entered a state of frenzied growth. Every instant, the branches expanded outward, and his realm began soaring rapidly.
A vast amount of spiritual energy and dew, attracted by the Qi-refining technique, merged into the branches and leaves. The lingering spiritual energy caused the concentration of spiritual energy on the entire floating island to start rising.
The roots continued to grow, piercing through the floating island, extending toward the clouds below, hungry and thirsty.

In less than half a day, Chu Zheng once again crossed a realm, stepping into the Seventh Order, controlling the branches around his body with ease, with a significant increase in power.
At the same time, the long-steady Tribulation Qi began to stir.
Some powerful living creatures took notice of Chu Zheng's presence, looking at the floating island enveloped in spiritual energy dew with a peculiar gleam in their eyes.
"What a magnificent Spiritual Ancient Tree!"
