Chapter 365: Advancement in Progress

It took a whole ten days for the Mother Tree to arrive at Xuanshui City.

It thought that the mission would be mostly concluded upon reaching this point, but little did it know that Lu Ming had hidden himself so well.

After another week or so, the Mother Tree finally pinpointed Lu Ming’s location—right in the large maze in front of it.

Although it also understood that Lu Ming did it to protect his life,

“But do you know how much trouble you’ve caused me?”

In order to find Lu Ming, the Mother Tree brought a group of human-headed bizarre creatures, with ninety-nine percent of them lost along the way, leaving only about a hundred of them still following the Mother Tree.

Fortunately, all hardships have an end.

Looking at the maze in front of it, the Mother Tree was filled with malice.

With a wave of its hand, it exclaimed, “Tear this thing apart for me!”

Inside the Void Space.

A blood pattern on Lu Ming’s chest abruptly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was deep within the spatial layers of Lu Ming’s right hand.

He used the system to convert a large number of Divine Source Points into Divine Source. Then, he used the power of the array formation to guide the Divine Source to the outside of the blood pattern.

Layer by layer, accumulation, stacking and construction.

In this way, a divinity was gradually perfected and formed from the inside out.

The speed was not particularly fast, but the advantage was that Lu Ming’s operation was meticulous and error-free, so the overall progress was stable and smooth.

One year later in the Void Space.

With the complete formation of the divinity, Lu Ming suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked down at his right hand.

Penetrating flesh and skin, Lu Ming could clearly see a golden, lychee-sized crystal shining brightly deep within his right hand, spontaneously beginning to operate.

A massive amount of source power continuously flowed into Lu Ming’s body, entered the divinity, and after compression and transformation through the divinity, it transformed into a highly concentrated liquid Divine Source. This Divine Source, would in turn, nurture the blood patterns at the center of the divinity, gradually tinting the blood patterns with various mysterious colors.

A huge spiritual power that was completely different from his physical strength dissipated from Lu Ming’s body.

At the same time, the Divine Source in his body finally returned, flowing in Lu Ming’s body like disciplined elite soldiers and becoming an integral part of Lu Ming’s strength.

“So, this is the so-called Divine Spirit Realm…”

Lu Ming muttered after completing this step.

But deep down, he did not think that the so-called Divine Spirit Realm was very high and mighty.

Compared to his original quasi-divine realm self, the only additional techniques Lu Ming gained at this moment was nothing more than the efficient use of the Divine Source—this was, in fact, the main difference between the Divine Spirit Realm and the Ancient Realm.

In simple terms, the strength of the Divine Spirit Realm lay in the use of higher-quality high-level energy to forcibly crush lower-level cultivators who only master source power.

Staring attentively at the divinity in his right hand, Lu Ming, with a deep gaze, muttered to himself, “But this process is still not completed, my blood pattern has not undergone long-term nurturing and transformation.”

“From the fluctuations it emitted, it can be seen that after the qualitative change of the blood pattern, the power will undergo a tremendous transformation.”

“It will bring me new power, different from the new power of the Blood Pattern and Divine Source!”

And that would be the moment of qualitative change in Lu Ming’s strength.

“1 can’t accelerate this process, all I can do is to persevere.”

With that, Lu Ming began pondering another issue.

“1 don’t have enough source power.”

Currently, he was in an area shrouded in black mist, and the strange thing within the black mist had already consumed all the source power, turning this place into a source power desert.

In this situation, Lu Ming could not absorb source power from the external environment and could only rely on the meager resources within Boshi Tower—hardly enough for him.

“I can convert the Divine Source Points into Divine Source for my cultivation.”

Divine Source was a high concentration of Source Power. Since Source Power could be compressed into Divine Source, Divine Source could also be converted into Source Power.

“But it’s not necessary.”

“It’s time to leave this place.”

Lu Ming had already decided to leave the area shrouded in black mist.

Before leaving, Lu Ming opened his attribute panel.

His attributes came into view.

Name: Lu Ming

Level: Seventh level of the Physique Realm – Spirit Realm (Advancement In Progress)

Number of blood patterns: 144.

Three-dimensional Attributes:

Strength: 100 million

Physique: 100 million

Agility: 100 million.

Free attribute points: 100 million.

Staring at his attributes, Lu Ming gradually frowned.

Level: Seventh level of the Physique Realm – Spirit Realm (Advancement In Progress)

“Now that I’ve perfected my divinity and started nurturing the blood patterns, the system’s evaluation of my ranking has changed.”

“Does this mean that, in the true source power extraordinary system, nurturing the blood patterns with the divinity is the correct way to open the Spirit Realm?”

After some thought, Lu Ming nodded with understanding, “That should be the case.”

With incomplete information, all Lu Ming could do was make wild guesses based on the system’s vague information.

But whether he guessed right or wrong did not matter much; Lu Ming knew that the path he was currently on was correct, and that was enough.

He then looked at the Divine Source Points column.

Originally, he had more than 1000 watts of Divine Source Points. After creating a divinity, it had dropped by a few digits.

The consumption of creating a divinity was evident.

However, after successfully creating the divinity, Lu Ming now had the power to absorb Source Power and convert it into Divine Source.

In the future, accumulating Divine Source Points probably would not be as time-consuming and laborious as before.

After taking stock, Lu Ming immediately left the void space.

After checking the situation inside the Boshi Tower and confirming that everything was in order, Lu Ming left the Boshi Tower, preparing to retreat.

Unexpectedly, just as he left Boshi Tower, he heard a thunderous sound outside.

Along with the continuous roars of the strange creatures, there was another voice familiar to Lu Ming.

“Brother Lu?”

“My dear Brother Lu!?”

“Where are you? I’m here to look for you!!”

In the safe zone.

As the human-headed monsters began to work, the large maze that Lu Ming had carefully set up was violently destroyed.

It could not be helped. This thing could withstand the mindless monsters, but it could not resist intelligent and scheming intruders.

The tremendous noise during the demolition process also attracted the attention of the monsters.

Monsters of various sizes and strengths rushed to the scene as if attending a banquet.

When Lu Ming ended his seclusion and walked out of the Boshi Tower, it happened to be the moment the Mother Tree completed the demolition.

In such a dangerous environment, the two fellow villagers from Nanxiang villagers had a historic encounter.

“Surprised? Unexpected? Happy?”

Standing on the human ladder formed by the human-headed monsters, the Mother Tree lifted the roof over Lu Ming.

Looking down at Lu Ming, who had just walked out of Boshi Tower, the Mother Tree spoke with a wicked smile on its face.

As if a mischievous child had found its favorite toy and wanted to play a prank for its own amusement.

And Lu Ming was indeed slightly stunned.

He could not believe he would see the Little tree here…

Tucking Boshi Tower back into his pocket and looking at the Mother Tree, Lu Ming tilted his head, puzzled, and asked, “How did you end up here?”
