I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

– – – – – –

Mana is a thing, formless and without substance, appearing and disappearing, derived from thought.

Luo Mo focused his mind on it, his body sitting down cross-legged, palms facing the sky. Mana condensed in his palm into tiny talismans, countless tiny talismans constantly moving, forming two divine symbols: the Azure Emperor Symbol and the Wood Emperor Symbol.

Three Thousand Great Daos, the Great Five Elements Technique, the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Divine Power.

“Azure Emperor Wood Emperor, ruling over vitality, all trees submit, offering essence!”

An invisible mana fluctuation spread out, and immediately, the remaining spiritual herbs in the medicine field and the nearby weeds began to wither. Streams of cyan spiritual energy detached from them, converging towards Luo Mo.

This was a vast amount of wood spiritual energy, attracted and filling Luo Mo's body, almost instantly turning him into wood.

Powerful divine powers all possess this domineering characteristic. The Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Divine Power even more so, ruling over all trees. It can be said that if the ruler wants his subject to die, the subject has no choice. It forces them to offer all their essence.

However, such a vast amount of wood spiritual energy was also a huge danger to Luo Mo. If he could not completely absorb it, he would be assimilated by the vast wood spiritual energy and turned into a wooden puppet.

Fortunately, the cultivation technique he practiced during the Fleshly Body Secret Realm was derived from the Great Blood Tempering Technique, one of the Three Thousand Great Daos that controls blood energy. As the wood spiritual energy filled his body, he needed blood energy to break through these wood spiritual energies, so that they would obediently enter the talismans transformed from the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Divine Power, helping Luo Mo to completely cultivate this divine power.

His skin directly turned into wood, even showing wooden纹理(wen li) patterns. The vast wood spiritual energy began to stagnate in his body, turning his flesh and blood into wood.

The blood energy cultivated with the Great Blood Tempering Technique was constantly circulating, transforming into blood-colored dragon shapes, breaking through the stagnated wood spiritual energy in his muscles.

This situation would produce intense pain, but Luo Mo seemed as if nothing had happened.

After all, compared to the pain of the Three Thousand Great Daos marks tearing his soul after being upgraded several times, the pain of breaking through the stagnated wood spiritual energy in his body was at most like being bitten by a mosquito.

For a full seven days and seven nights, Luo Mo's bones kept making bean-popping sounds. The stagnated wood spiritual energy in his body was completely broken up in this process, most of it returning to the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor talismans, and a small part used to strengthen his physique.

Not only the medicine field, but the vegetation within a few hundred meters withered a lot, listless and not as energetic as before.

The two divine power talismans in Luo Mo's palm had grown a lot, cyan spiritual light flowing, dazzling and eye-catching. The originally formless mana around Luo Mo also had a touch of light cyan because of cultivating the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Divine Power, transforming towards the true energy of the Divine Power Second Layer.

Luo Mo controlled the two divine symbols, and the light cyan mana contracted, then suddenly expanded, turning into a light cyan wind blowing out.

The Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Divine Power has a harvest-style method of absorbing wood spiritual energy, domineering and unparalleled, ruling over all trees. It can even suck dry these spiritual herbs.

But it also has a farming-style exchange of aura method, suitable for sustainable development.

Luo Mo just entered university this year. The Nine Dragons Coffin-Pulling occurs at a classmate reunion three years after graduation, which means that if he doesn’t venture into Kunlun, he will have to cultivate here for seven years.

Seven years, it is better to take the road of sustainable development and manage this territory well.

The wind of revival spread out with Luo Mo as the center. In the medicine field, which had been somewhat withered by Luo Mo's absorption, those listless spiritual herbs gradually perked up after being blown by this spring breeze.

Their roots went deeper, connecting to the earth veins to absorb vitality. Wisps of white mist permeated from the tops of their heads, gradually condensing into white infant phantoms.

They were about to become spirits.

If they accumulated enough powerful source power and survived the thunder tribulation, they could even transform into human form and become demon cultivators. It was just that this step was extremely difficult and depended on their fortune.

If Luo Mo was strong enough, he could even directly enlighten them and help them transform into human form.

But Luo Mo himself was just a cultivator in the first layer of the Divine Power Secret Realm. The mana cultivated from the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Divine Power could only give these spiritual herbs a chance to transform.

The world of Shrouding the Heavens is not friendly to medicinal herbs. They cannot transform into human form. The only successful case is the Azure Emperor, the only great emperor of the post-Desolate Ancient Era.

But the Azure Emperor's main body was the Azure Lotus Undying Medicine, and not to mention being born in an Immortal Transformation Pool, he also took root on the fragments of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron. Other medicinal herbs simply could not envy this background and opportunity.

The Azure Emperor is the only case of a medicinal herb transforming into a human. Besides the undying divine medicines, only two with intelligence appeared in the original work: He Shou Wu and Ancestral Ginseng. They both lived past the 100,000-year limit of ordinary spiritual medicines and developed intelligence, but they could not cultivate.

But now, these ordinary herbs, even weeds, have a chance to transform. This is an opportunity that He Shou Wu, Ancestral Ginseng, and even most undying medicines do not have.

This benefits from the Eternal Life Method.

The Shrouding the Heavens method starts from the Sea of Wheels below the navel, while the Eternal Life method cultivates the consciousness sea in the brain.

The mana born from the consciousness sea of the Eternal Life method is more effective in opening spiritual intelligence, especially since Luo Mo cultivates the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Divine Power, which is of great benefit to vegetation. Obtaining the Wood Emperor's Primordial Energy opens their spirituality, greatly increasing the probability of them becoming intelligent and transforming in the future.

A quarter of an hour later, the wind returned, its color becoming deeper, carrying a vigorous vitality and merging into Luo Mo's Azure Emperor Wood Emperor talismans, deepening a touch of emerald green for them, allowing Luo Mo's mana to take a step forward in the process of transforming towards true energy.

Cultivating in this way, he used the supreme wood attribute Primordial Energy of the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Divine Power to help the vegetation in the surrounding area transform. The vegetation benefited and would also give him wood spiritual energy in return. The only thing consumed was the extremely rich heaven and earth essence in Kunlun, which can be called harmonious development between man and nature.

Well… only the thousand-year-old Polygonatum sibiricum was injured in the world completed. Mourn for it.

After Luo Mo mourned for three seconds, he looked at the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor talismans in his hand, a smile spreading across his face, and said to the sky:

“Happy eighteenth birthday.”

Two cyan mad dragons surrounded Luo Mo, which were the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor True Qi transformed from mana, already condensed as crystal clear as emerald jade.

In a year, with the help of Kunlun's blessed environment, he had already cultivated the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Divine Power to the peak of the True Essence realm of the Divine Power Second Layer. Not only had his mana transformed into True Qi under the condition of absorbing enough wood spiritual energy, but it had also been cultivated to perfection, waiting to be further transformed into Astral Qi and enter the third layer, the Astral Qi realm.

In the fifth layer of the Divine Power, the Heaven-Man realm, formations can be arranged. The mana of that realm is like a well-trained elite army, fighting against the mana of the previous few realms is like an elite killing refugees, able to win more with less.

Although Luo Mo had not yet entered the Heaven-Man realm of the fifth layer of Divine Power, he could also arrange some formations, but not with his mana, but with herbs, and with the help of Kunlun's terrain, embracing this thigh.

Each of the divine powers of Eternal Life has corresponding profound formations. Luo Mo transplanted herbs and arranged the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Formation, making the heaven and earth essence here more concentrated.

At the same time, this was also an amplification formation, which could allow Luo Mo's Azure Emperor Wood Emperor True Qi to spread to farther places with the wind, silently nourishing all things and completing the exchange of aura.

He had already read the information in this area. During this year, he studied the formations here, using the roots of the plants to connect to the earth veins to absorb vitality, and also allowed the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Formation to mobilize some of the power of the Kunlun Great Formation.

It can also be regarded as borrowing power. If someone really invades, there will definitely be no good juice for him to eat.

During this year, he devoted himself to cultivation, studying the Great Eight Trigrams Technique and the Kunlun formations. He did have some understanding of the way of formations.

And during this year, his main food was the fruits produced by the plants here, such as a thousand-year-old apricot and plum tree, bearing a tree full of fruits. Eating one was enough to abstain from grains for a month, allowing him to cultivate in peace.

He cultivated the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Technique, and has always been using the method of Spring Breeze Transformation to blend with the vegetation naturally, absorbing wood spiritual energy slowly and steadily.

Until an anomaly appeared in his mana perception.
