Chapter 26: The Golden Ancient Tree on the Back of the Spiritual Turtle
Zhou Qing continued to flip through the diary.
[… Just like that, my mother told me her origins, gave me the seeds of nature, the eggs of the goddess of light butterfly, and then passed away.]
[The reason why my mother came to Douluo Continent was that the "goddess" heard my mother's wish at the time, that she wanted to go to a safe place, so she used methods such as Qiankun Shift to move my mother from the Sun and Moon Continent, where the countries were fighting, to the already peaceful Douluo Continent.]
[Although Douluo Continent has two empires, the Spirit Hall, and various major sects, it is generally much more stable than the Sun-Moon Continent described by my mother, where the countries are constantly at war. Moreover, my mother lives in the unimportant border between the two empires - the Daohe Village with simple folk customs. In this way, she will not be invaded by bandits or wars...]
【And I also have a new goal! 】
[That is to become a powerful soul master and explore the lake where the goddess exists, and see with my own eyes the hometown that I have never seen! ]
【...】
[Douluo calendar March 1910, 3]
[Ten years have passed since I last wrote about my life. I am thirty-two years old now, and I have reached the level of Soul King.]
[Over the years, I have met many people and realized the cruelty of the soul master world——]
[Soul masters who hunted soul beasts together would fight over a soul bone. Even brothers would kill each other to death because of uneven distribution of spoils... Well, I also participated in it and won the final victory. I killed them all and obtained the soul bone. ]
[My girlfriend of seven years chose to fall in love with a noble soul master because I didn’t save much money... I could only wish her happiness and then leave quietly... This is a sad thing, so I learned from my mistakes and sold the soul bone anonymously for money... Although I have money now, my girlfriend is already pregnant... I don’t believe in love anymore! ]
[In short, the past ten years can be summed up in the words of a bard: Death is like the wind, always with me, and loneliness is like a shadow, near and far. ]
Seeing this, this "Practice Diary" is almost coming to an end. The content described afterwards are all the people and things that this Soul Sage encountered during his journey.
Although it is called "Cultivation Diary", Zhou Qing and Tang San both feel that it is more like a biography. After all, there is almost no content related to cultivation in it. It only briefly mentions how many years it took him to obtain the spirit ring.
These contents obviously have little significance to Zhou Qing and Tang San.
then.
Zhou Qing took out the last diary: "Contra: The End", opened it and saw only one entry.
[Douluo calendar March 1920, 3]
【The End】
[When I write this diary, it means that my life is almost coming to an end. If someone finds it later, they can take away all my property... I just hope that you are a soul master who walked out of the Holy Soul Village—
At the age of 42, I have already become a Soul Saint.
Such an achievement is considered to be an extraordinary talent in the entire soul master world, and it is only a matter of time before he breaks through to the Titled Douluo level.
But they don't know that this is the effect of the Seed of Nature. I discovered how to use the life energy that emanates from it to increase my soul power. That's why my cultivation speed is comparable to that of the ninth level of the innate realm, or even that of an innate realm with full soul power.
But bad luck.
While exploring an ancient relic, I was besieged by disciples from a large sect because I obtained a precious soul guide that could store living things. I was seriously injured and the veins that circulate my soul power were broken. The only reason I was able to survive was because of the breath of life emitted by the seed of nature...
Afterwards, my strength made little progress... In despair, I recalled the lake my mother had mentioned, and planned to go to another continent, hoping to pass the test of the goddess and recover from my injuries.
But going out to sea is a very dangerous thing. In addition to the sea soul beasts in the ocean, there is a bigger problem in front of me, that is, I don’t know the specific range of the so-called Sun and Moon Continent. Southwest of Douluo Continent?
But what angle is it exactly in the southwest? It is impossible to find it with just such a general direction.
But the goddess of luck is on my side.
Inside the storage soul guide device found in the ruins, there was actually a soul guide crystal, and an instruction sheet came with it, saying that this soul guide crystal was the core for activating the teleportation array. Once activated, space teleportation could be performed to another continent.
This makes me ecstatic!
It turns out the solution is right beside me!
I can only hope that I can find the teleportation array deep in the ruins where this soul guide is stored, which leads to the Sun and Moon Continent.
The ruins are located near Tianming City on the southwest coast of the Douluo Continent-Xingluo Empire!
I can only take a gamble. 】
[However, just as I was packing my luggage, I was discovered... and there was a fight... I survived by chance, but my injuries worsened, and I realized that I was powerless to recover.
Finally, I chose to return to Daohe Village and reported my level to the local Wuhun Hall, thus having Daohe Village renamed as Shenghun Village.
The Spirit Hall invited me to join and promised to deal with the enemies who were tracking me.
Although I understood that a powerful force like the Spirit Hall valued me, a Soul Saint, more than the soul guide that could store living creatures and the things inside, I still refused.
Because I'm about to die, there's no need to trouble others...】
After finishing reading "Contra: The End", Zhou Qing sighed.
After arriving at this natural cave, the Soul Saint began to retreat, hoping to suppress his injuries by breaking through the level of Soul Master.
In addition, he also found two newly born Lingyun turtles——
He had no intention of planting seeds of nature on the back of the Lingyun Turtle. He just felt bored staying alone and simply wanted to raise a few pets with relatively gentle temperaments to pass the last days of his life.
However, unlike the other things stored in the gray storage soul guide bag, the Seed of Nature was always carried by the Soul Saint to suppress his injuries.
But in the end, this Soul Saint still died, but before his death, his soul power should have been forced to reach the quasi-Soul Douluo level of 80.
Later, this natural seed was taken away by a two-hundred-year-old Lingyun turtle, whose shell was broken by a villager from another village because of its greed for corn. The turtle then planted the seed on its broken back in order to keep it alive.
"In other words, the plant on the back of the Lingyun Turtle is the sprout of the natural seed. Can it be called the natural tree?" After learning this, Tang San asked curiously.
"I don't have any information, so I can't be sure." Zhou Qing naturally knew that it was an ancient golden tree, or a golden tree, but he shouldn't know about this at this time, so he just continued, "However, this plant must be very precious, and I can't let others know about it in the future."
"Ah."
Tang San knows the importance of plants that can gather the energy of heaven and earth and speed up his cultivation of internal strength. Isn't it a treasure? When the Lingyun turtle grows up and the natural tree grows up, it will definitely greatly speed up their cultivation.
The only problem is that the Lingyun Turtle grows a little slowly.
But Zhou Qing thought that this was not a big problem. After all, this was a Lingyun turtle that had planted a golden tree. Now the turtle's injuries had almost recovered. It was estimated that as long as the golden tree grew for a few more years, that is, if there were a few more leaves on the top, the Lingyun turtle's cultivation would be accelerated, allowing it to break away from the situation where the turtle soul beast's cultivation was equal to the years...
