"However, I've searched through Qing Tan's body thoroughly and haven't found any wood essence at all. Furthermore, why doesn't this fellow have any roots?" Ye Tian asked.
"Hehe, Qing Tan's main body is made of Qingtan Mystical Wood, and she has no roots. Moreover, the experts that came to invade our Stone Clan today also don't have roots, because even though the Tree Race has reached the Deity Stage, because of their main body, it is still very difficult for them to move. So, they usually rely on the Tree Race who have no roots in their foreign battles. Shi Tu Feng explained.
"So that's how it is. That's right, I also discovered a crystal in Qing Tan's body. Does Clan Leader know what that thing is?" As Ye Tian spoke, he took out the crystal that glowed with golden light.
"This is ? crystallized Black Wood Essence." Shi Tu Feng said in surprise.
"This is the Black Wood Essence? "No way, I have seen the Wood Essence once before, it was a bead with green light, it was completely different from this bead." Ye Tian asked in confusion.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist, we have been dealing with the Tree Race for tens of thousands of years, how could we not know that this is the highest grade of wood essence energy, it has already formed a crystal, it shows that the wood element inside is extremely rich, and there is not even the slightest leakage, so Fellow Daoist, you did not feel any wood element energy from this black wood essence spirit, and the pearl that is glowing with green light, is only an ordinary wood essence, and this is definitely the best of wood essence energy, haha, this is really good luck." Shi Tu Feng laughed.
"Hehe, it seems that once I arrive at this treasured mountain, I will not recognize any treasures. I must say that I've let the chief down." Ye Tian rejoiced when he heard this.
"Hehe, since Fellow has found the wood essence, please rest at the Sickly Clan. I will need to organize the elders to discuss the whereabouts of the Stone Clan. As for Qing Tan's original body, Fellow can keep it. She is a Rogue Immortal of the Seven Tribulations, her entire body is a treasure." Shi Tu Feng laughed.
Ye Tian didn't hold back when he heard this and directly stored Qingtan's body into his storage ring. Afterwards, under the lead of a Stone Tribe member, he went to rest in a courtyard while Shi Tu Feng gathered the elders to discuss some matters.
When Ye Tian entered his room, he first took out the spirit grass to replenish all the blood essence in his body, then he took out the wood essence essence. Ye Tian examined the wood essence in his hand for a while, then used a technique to make it float in front of him before starting to practice the Heavenly Wood Seal.
However, what Ye Tian found strange was that the Wood Essence had some resistance to Ye Tian's Sky Wood Seal, as it was unable to draw out the power from the Wood Essence. Ye Tian slightly frowned when he saw this. He immediately sent his Spiritual Sense into the Wood Essence to see what was going on.
It turned out that there was a trace of Qing Tan's consciousness inside the Wood Essence. Seeing Ye Tianming enter, Qing Tan's thread of consciousness was wrapped in the dense wood elemental energy. She shouted angrily at Ye Tian, "Brat, don't be too proud. I won't let you go."
"You're not dead? How is that possible? " Ye Tian exclaimed.
"Hmph. This old man is a Seven Tribulations Loose Immortal. Do you think he will fall that easily?" "Brat, just wait for this old man's revenge. This old man will definitely tear you apart." Qing Tan hooted with that sliver of consciousness.
"Humph, even if you are lucky enough to not die, I will find you and kill you. Your main body is not my opponent, yet you still dare to shout in front of me. You simply do not know your place." As Ye Tian spoke, he directly used the Underworld Emperor's Shang and attacked that wisp of consciousness.
Although Qingtan was a Rogue Immortal of the Seven Calamity, the wood essence was after all just a strand of consciousness. Under the attack of Ye Tian's Emperor of the Underworld's Shang, it was directly killed by Ye Tian, and after that, the Heavenly God's consciousness penetrated deep into the wood essence. After confirming that there were no abnormalities, Ye Tian once again circulated the Heavenly Wood Seal's cultivation technique and began to channel the energy within the wood essence.
Without Qing Tan's consciousness to guide the wood essence, under the guidance of the Heavenly Wood Seal, the wood essence, which originally did not exude any power, suddenly released a strong wood attribute power.
Ye Tian saw this and immediately stabilized his heart, as he began to absorb the energy from the wood essence in his body. At the same time, he also started to madly revolve the five cycles of the Emperor of Heaven, the wood essence was indeed condensed from the essence of the Seven Calamity Rogue Immortals, although a large portion of the wood elemental energy was used by Ye Tian to cultivate the Heavenly Wood Seal, but a small portion of it was still absorbed by Ye Tian's body. After half a day, Ye Tian easily reached the realm of the Sixth Cycle of the Human Emperor, but the Heavenly Wood Seal still had not been successfully cultivated.
He wasn't worried about staying overnight. After all, the Wood Essence contained an extremely dense power of the wood element. It should be more than enough to cultivate the Sky Wood Seal. Thus, Ye Tian once again began to cultivate in peace.
Three days later, an illusionary light green handprint appeared in front of Ye Tian. As Ye Tian's hand continued to circulate, the green light on the handprint became more and more dense, gradually becoming more and more solid.
Seven days later, Ye Tian slightly opened his eyes. The green hand seal had already solidified, which meant that Ye Tian had successfully cultivated the Heavenly Wood Seal. Ye Tian really wanted to test the might of the Heavenly Wood Seal, but he remembered that they were in the Stone Clan's encampment.
After that, Ye Tian once again focused his attention on the wood essence in front of him. Although he had absorbed it for seven days, the energy within the wood essence had yet to be absorbed by Ye Tian. After all, it was condensed from the essence of a Seven Calamity Rogue Immortal.
After pondering for a while, Ye Tian once again closed his eyes and began to absorb the power inside the wood essence using the Purple Flood Conjuration Technique. This thing was more than a hundred times better than cultivating with normal spirit stones, so Ye Tian naturally couldn't let it go easily.
Like this, another seven days passed as Ye Tian sat there. The wood essence floating in front of him exploded with a 'bang' and turned into ashes. At this moment, Ye Tian's entire body also expanded. It was obvious that his strength had reached a boundary point.
Ye Tian was very satisfied with the fact that he had unknowingly reached the peak of the Sixth Cycle, so he prepared to go and see the current situation of the Stone Clan. However, the moment he stood up, Ye Tian felt that his thunder tribulation was about to descend, Ye Tian just remembered that he had already reached the peak of the early stage of Soul Formation a long time ago, and because he did not have enough wood essence, he was unable to break through. After accumulating for so long and absorbing so much wood essence over the past ten days, he did not know how powerful the thunder tribulation was, so he directly flew out of his room and headed outside to find a place to undergo his tribulation.
After Ye Tian rushed out of the room, he noticed Shi Tu Feng rushing towards him. Shi Tu Feng saw Ye Tian's body expand and directly asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you about to undergo your tribulation? Follow me." As Shi Tu Feng spoke, he turned around and flew towards the mountain behind the Stone Clan buildings.
Ye Tian didn't waste any time as he followed behind Shi Tu Feng. After flying for about half an incense stick of time, Shi Tu Feng brought Ye Tian to a col.
"Fellow cultivator wouldn't normally pass by here. Fellow cultivator can peacefully pass the tribulation here. I am Dao Friend Shi's protector." As Shi Tu Feng spoke, he flew hundreds of feet away from the sky before coming to a stop.
"Thank you, Patriarch." After saying that, Ye Tian sat cross-legged and began releasing all of his aura. He then channeled all of the Spiritual Energy in his body to rush out. With a crisp popping sound, Ye Tian's cultivation easily entered the middle stage of the Spirit Severing Stage. As for the thunder tribulation ? it rose to its feet as well.
Thunder rumbled in the sky as the lightning began to gather. When Shi Tu Feng saw the tribulation cloud in the sky, he frowned and said, "How can the tribulation cloud be black? Logically speaking, it should only be a small tribulation if fellow cultivator Ye is in the early to middle stage of the Soul Formation stage. Only at the Soul Formation stage can a tribulation lightning appear, but this black tribulation cloud seems to be even more powerful than the tribulation lightning."
Ye Tian had experienced the last tribulation of thunder and lightning, so he didn't dare to lower his guard this time. Thus, Ye Tian used the Heaven and Earth Seal from the very beginning, while the Emperor of the Underworld also appeared behind Ye Tian. After everything was ready, Ye Tian was still worried. He took out the remaining spiritual energy in his storage ring and placed it by his side.
After preparing all of this, Ye Tian finally relaxed his heart, and calmly waited for the arrival of the lightning tribulation.
