550 The Leaves of the Hyacinthus Tree! (1/2)

Wang Baole might seem like a cheerful character who smiled all the time and had an optimistic outlook on life. However, he knew that deep in his bones hid a streak that he himself found terrifying.

It wasn't something that easily revealed itself. However, whenever it did reveal itself, the resultant murderous determination and viciousness were enough to send everyone reeling back in shock. It showed itself most fiercely and intensely whenever he was faced with danger or threat of death.

Simply put… if someone wanted to kill him, he would kill that person!

In another age when the ancient greenish-bronze sword had never made its appearance, such a streak would have been hidden deep in his heart. Perhaps as time went by, it might even be worn away with age.

In the current Spirit Inception Era, however, with the rise of cultivators, and as the Federation's cultivation civilization continued to be seen as a weaker power, this streak in Wang Baole continued to grow. The violence and blood lust in him might be hidden, but when unleashed, it would fan out fiercely like fire!

It was because of that streak in him that Wang Baole didn't hesitate after thinking. He chose the method he had come up with to practice and master the Thearch Armor inheritance decisively. Then, he immediately tried to extend the meridians inside his body using his Spirit Qi.

It might look as if Wang Baole was emulating the cultivation method belonging to the Never-Ending Clan. It was a sight that was not only bizarre but one that gave off evil and demonic vibes. The meridians that extended and then popped out from his body looked like hordes of tentacles poking out of his body!

They weren't bright red but semi-transparent. It was still a horrifying sight. As time passed, and as Wang Baole continued his cultivation, the tentacles began to encircle him. They formed a circulatory system that formed the basic structure of a human body!

Through unorthodox means, Wang Baole had finally managed to achieve success and master the first level of the Thearch Armor inheritance. The next step was to rely on the Flame Snatch and increase his strength by slaying his foes and opponents!

It's just a pity that the Vast Expanse Dao Palace isn't a suitable place to practice the Flame Snatch. Wang Baole opened his eyes. He observed the beginnings of an armor forming outside his body. Then, he took a deep breath. With a mere thought, the primitive armor disappeared and returned inside his body. It formed a diamond-shaped crystal on his heart. It was like a brand.

It was the core of the Thearch Armor inheritance. If Wang Baole had followed the orthodox approach, this core was supposed to replace his heart, instead of the brand Wang Baole now had.

During the period that Wang Baole had been practicing the Thearch Armor inheritance, something monumental had happened in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace as well. News of it had spread throughout the sect and into the ears of the Federation Seedlings. It had sparked discussions on the regional Spirit Internet.

Wang Baole only learned about it after ending his practice of the Thearch Armor inheritance and logging on to the regional Spirit Internet.

The leaves of the Hyacinthus Tree… were about to fall!

The Hyacinthus Tree—Wang Baole had been unfamiliar with the name when he had read it. However, he soon found out what it was. It was the tree that he had first seen when he had arrived at the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, the tree that was planted on the mountain peak on the main island… the spectacular ancient tree!

In Wang Baole's memories, the tree was immensely huge. However, it was covered with dead leaves. It seemed as if it were dead, but its presence and aura left a deep impression on him.

Two weeks ago, three new leaves had actually grown on this ancient, dried-up tree. A strange fragrance began to envelop the entire main Vast Expanse Dao Palace island when the new leaves appeared. Everyone was invigorated when they smelled it. Feng Qiuran and the other two Elders placed a great deal of importance on this matter.

This was because… the leaves of the Hyacinthus Tree not only had medicinal value, they also served another purpose that was very important to the three Elders!

The exact purpose was considered highly confidential. There was plenty of speculation. The Federation Seedlings asked around and came back with their own guesses. Everyone discussed it in the group chat. The conclusion was that this leaf should be some kind of emblem!
