As Mu Jinyu divided his True Yuan into Yin and Yang, evolving them into the Green Emperor and Wood Empress, his cultivation suddenly shot up from the Fifth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm to the Sixth Layer!
His momentum surged once more, and although he was only at the Middle Stage of the Divine Realm, to San Liu, it felt as if he were facing an unprecedented and ferocious primordial beast!
That kind of imposing pressure made him hold his breath.
Although San Liu had never witnessed the aura of a powerhouse at the Advanced Divine Realm, he felt that even the Absolute geniuses of the Ninth Layer of the Divine Realm might not compare to Mu Jinyu!
This was the purest form of suppression stemming from the physical body!
"Huh..."
At that moment, as the nature's spiritual energy rushed towards Mu Jinyu, it suddenly paused, and the chaotic spiritual energy of heaven and earth started to calm down once again!
"Hiss!"
Right then, the silhouettes of the Green Emperor and Wood Empress that appeared above Mu Jinyu's head slowly dissipated, and the shimmering Green Emperor True Yuan around him also silently dispersed!
This made him no longer resemble a jade statue!
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!!"
A miraculous scene unfolded; as Mu Jinyu failed to perfectly retract the Green Emperor True Yuan and let it scatter, the mud around him suddenly sprouted green grass and fresh flowers!
It was as if Mu Jinyu were the deity of spring, governing the growth and sprouting of plants!
"Huh..."
While San Liu watched in astonishment, Mu Jinyu finally ended his cultivation, suddenly opening his eyes.
A dazzling burst of green light, so intense that it was difficult to look at directly, flashed by, and Mu Jinyu stood up, his body instantly ringing with a series of crackling sounds.
"Ha!!"
A hearty and satisfying roar echoed, filled with great delight!
He had succeeded.
He had successfully transitioned to cultivating the "Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Art," with all his True Yuan now transformed into Green Emperor True Yuan, filled with endless vitality. He no longer needed to invoke his Azure Dragon Bloodline and use Yi Wood Azure Dragon Qi to save people when faced with difficult patients!
The effects of his present Green Emperor True Yuan were in no way inferior to the Yi Wood Azure Dragon Qi, and might even surpass it!
Mu Jinyu felt that his trip here was absolutely worthwhile, far exceeding the gains from Alchemy, the Tai Sui Stone from Luo City!
Here, he had elevated his once scarce Azure Dragon Bloodline that had to be meticulously utilized, to nearly a perfect realm.
From now on, when he executed the "True Dragon Art" and invoked the Yi Wood Azure Dragon Qi, it could be used not only to heal people but also to enhance his cultivation significantly, just like Xiang Mantang!
He wouldn't have to worry about burning through his scarce Dragon Blood with excessive force one day, to the point of not being able to produce it again!
Similarly, having cultivated the Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Body, he could now truly claim to have undergone a rebirth!
This level of transformation was far greater than when he had broken through from the Peak Energy Transformation stage to the Divine Realm.
With his newly formed Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Body, he was now completely unafraid of the so-called Ye Wushuang!
Even if Xiang Mantang was here, controlling that Ghostly Demon, he even felt that he could put up a fight!
"Huh..."
As the roar subsided, Mu Jinyu laughed freely a few times, then casually grabbed a dragon bone beside him, sculpted like white jade. He leaped up and, holding the nearly hundred-meter-long dragon bone, returned to the cave above!
"Thump!"
Upon seeing Mu Jinyu coming up, San Liu snapped out of his stunned state and, without hesitation, knelt on one knee and called out respectfully, "Congratulations on the completion of your Dragon Master's Divine Skill!"
"There's no need for that, get up!"
Mu Jinyu said with a smile.
San Liu then rose from the ground and, after a moment of hesitation, asked, "Dragon Master, where did that little sapling go afterwards? Did you put it away?"
The one thing San Liu was curious about was the little sapling that had absorbed a large amount of the Dragon Marrow Immortal Spring and then suddenly disappeared, causing the speed at which Mu Jinyu consumed the fountain to surge by dozens of times.
Therefore, he was particularly curious about the whereabouts of the little sapling.
As for the accomplishment of Mu Jinyu's Divine Skill, with two divine shadows materializing above his head and a breakthrough to the Sixth Layer of the Divine Realm, San Liu was not that curious!
"Hehe..." Mu Jinyu chuckled softly and replied, "It wasn't put in the Shennong Cauldron by me; rather, I refined it."
To San Liu's question, Mu Jinyu didn't gloss over it, but he also wasn't going to give away everything.
The sapling, of course, wasn't really refined by Mu Jinyu. It was still inside Mu Jinyu's body, only now it was no longer like before, with roots steadying its feet and branches extending through arms, its crown spreading across the five viscera and six bowels!
It had once again shrunk to the size of a palm, becoming a delicate little tree, and found its way into his Sea of Consciousness, where it took root.
Don't misunderstand; it didn't take root in Mu Jinyu's Sea of Consciousness to draw on his spiritual power for its growth; instead, it drew from the spiritual energy of the outside world, so that Mu Jinyu was constantly cultivating without a moment's pause.
A normal person always has to be distracted by various things and can't be cultivating all the time, but with the sapling, Mu Jinyu had double the support when cultivating, and when he was not cultivating and attending to matters, it was akin to focusing solely on cultivation.
It could be said that one day of his cultivation was equivalent to over ten days for others!
"So that's how it is."
When San Liu heard Mu Jinyu's response, he had an epiphany and nodded in realization.
He just thought that after Mu Jinyu had refined the sapling, his aptitude for cultivation had increased again, which is why he had such a terrifying speed of absorbing spiritual energy.
He couldn't imagine that there was even a sapling taking root in Mu Jinyu's Sea of Consciousness.
Mu Jinyu said no more as his exhilarated mood gradually calmed down. Looking at the dragon bone he was holding in his hands, he thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back later. I will refine these two materials into a magic treasure. After all, it's not easy to carry this dragon bone back."
Although the Shennong Cauldron could grow and shrink, it had a limit to how much it could expand, and it was definitely impossible to stuff nearly a hundred-meter-long dragon bone into it.
And this dragon bone, although it was from a Flood Dragon that had failed at Tribulation Transcendence, was still a valuable item; to discard it simply because it couldn't be carried back, like the great python he had slain in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, would be too much of a pity.
"As you wish, Dragon Master." San Liu wasn't in any particular hurry to return and was quite excited to see how Mu Jinyu would refine the magic treasure!
Mu Jinyu did not rush to refine the dragon bone into a magic treasure, because if it failed, it would be a waste. He let go of the bone and placed it on the ground, then took out from the Shennong Cauldron the already separated parts of the Nine-Eyed Bichan—the skin, bones, tongue, eyes...
And other materials!
Looking at these materials, Mu Jinyu began to think about how to create a magic treasure.
After several minutes, Mu Jinyu's eyes suddenly lit up as he knew how to proceed!
The eyes of the Nine-Eyed Bichan have the power to Capture Souls, right? Then use them to make a Pellet Drum!
A Pellet Drum is a type of folk musical instrument and toy, whose main body is a small drum, with a pellet attached to each side; it has a handle underneath, and when the drumstick is turned, the pellets strike the drum to make a thumping sound.
With the materials at hand, it was perfect to use the frog bones for the drum frame and handle, the frog skin for the drum surface, with the frog's tongue for the connecting rope, adorned with those nine eyeballs.
Once it starts rotating, the pellets made from the nine eyeballs would thump against the drum face made from the frog skin, surely bringing out the Soul Capture ability of the Nine-Eyed Bichan to its fullest!
