Chapter 547: A Helping Hand
After returning to the Dan Tower, Xiao Ze made sure Xiao Yi and Qing Lin were settled before summoning the Origin Tree Root. The room filled with a brilliant golden light as the Origin Tree Root grew into a massive Golden Tree. A crack brimming with spatial power opened on the trunk.
"I'll be back soon," Xiao Ze told Xiao Yi and Qing Lin before his figure disappeared through the portal.
In the bitterly cold depths of the Jiuyou Underworld, a gigantic, thousand-yard-long colorful Heavenly Python lay sleeping. Energy surged into Medusa's body, pushing her Dou Qi realm towards higher levels. A beam of golden light burst from the massive body, significantly smaller compared to the thousand-yard Heavenly Python. The golden light grew into a large Golden Tree rooted there, its golden light illuminating the surroundings.
The movement of the Golden Tree caused the area's master to react, and numerous residual spirits of the colorful Heavenly Python circled the Golden Tree, ready to fiercely attack at any sign of disturbance, protecting their only surviving clansman.
A portal slowly appeared on the trunk of the Golden Tree, and Xiao Ze stepped out. The terrifyingly cold atmosphere seemed to freeze even the soul, but Xiao Ze's physique, even without using his Origin Emperor Flame, easily resisted the intense cold.
Noticing the hostile hisses from the colorful Heavenly Python spirits, Xiao Ze didn't mind much. Inside the Void Space, the branch of the Origin Tree representing the colorful Heavenly Python bloodline trembled slightly, and an extremely pure aura of the colorful Heavenly Python suddenly emerged from Xiao Ze.
The non-sentient colorful Heavenly Python spirits were instantly confused but circled around Xiao Ze. Despite their confusion, the undeniable aura of the colorful Heavenly Python on Xiao Ze conveyed a sense of goodwill.
These spirits, while capable of leaving behind residual spirits, lacked intelligence. After Medusa evolved into a nine-colored Heavenly Python, she could command these spirits, as not all places possess the mystical effects of a celestial tomb.
Xiao Ze touched one of the approaching colorful Heavenly Pythons and then took out the nine-colored stone he had obtained earlier, looking towards Medusa. Her aura was fluctuating, clearly at a critical moment of breakthrough but seemingly restricted and unable to take the final step.
Seeing Medusa in a deep sleep and given the location at the bottom of Jiuyou Underworld, not just anyone could enter. With the guarding spirits of the colorful Heavenly Python around, the safety level was significantly enhanced. Xiao Ze could also assist Medusa to enter a deep sleep without worry, using her bloodline power to guide the breakthrough.
"If that's the case, then let me lend you a hand," Xiao Ze said as he held up the nine-colored stone, the Origin branch of the colorful Heavenly Python trembling slightly as a vast bloodline power flowed into the stone, making it shine brilliantly, even the ninth nearly imperceptible line gleamed vividly.
"Go!" Xiao Ze directed the nine-colored stone into a beam of multicolored light, which entered the enormous body of the colorful Heavenly Python at its brow. The bloodline power continued to enhance, naturally absorbing the surrounding energy and even forming a massive energy vortex thousands of yards around the python's body.
"The extent of your growth will depend on you now," Xiao Ze said as he watched the impressive energy vortex, smiling before he didn't linger any longer and returned to the Dan Tower through the Golden Tree.
In the following period, the situation in Zhongzhou was tumultuous. The establishment of the Dan Alliance shook the entire region, and the minor conflicts with the Soul Palace continued. However, a more attention-grabbing piece of news, the imminent appearance of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, spread further aided by some vested interests who did not hide the information but publicized it instead, inviting more forces to participate and fish in troubled waters.
Compared to the establishment of the Dan Alliance, the news of the Bodhi Ancient Tree was more sensational because the alliance's formation did not affect everyone personally. But for those old monsters who had reached their limits, the Bodhi Ancient Tree could advance their cultivation to the next level, even reaching the peak of the continent, the Dou Saint level. To achieve this legendary status, countless powerhouses had struggled their entire lives. Anything that might increase their chances of reaching the Dou Saint level would be pursued at all costs.
Even if the path ahead was fraught with immense danger, even akin to a moth to the flame, they would not hesitate to throw themselves at the chance for such a sliver of possibility. Because, to them, struggling for this chance was better than waiting to die in obscurity.
The Bodhi Ancient Tree was not only desired by those at the peak of Dou Zun; even ordinary Dou Zuns were extremely eager, especially since the Dou Zun who had obtained the Bodhi Heart in the legends was just a two-star Dou Zun. He had managed to break through to the Dou Saint level in less than five years with the great fortune of obtaining the Bodhi Heart.
After the celestial phenomena associated with the appearance of the Bodhi Ancient Tree confirmed the news of its imminent emergence, even the ongoing conflicts between the Dan Alliance and the Soul Palace diminished significantly as both sides began preparing for the appearance of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
Back at the Dan Tower, Xiao Ze stretched languidly. Since the formation of the alliance largely relied on the Dan Tower's efforts, the alliance was named the Dan Alliance. However, the leader of the alliance was not from the Dan Tower but was appointed to be Yao Chen from the Falling Star Pavilion, who had enough strength and reputation for the role. After all, it would seem as if the alliance was just an extension of the Dan Tower, which would counteract the purpose of a mutually supportive alliance.
"Xiao Ze, it's time to head to the Barren Ancient Domain," Qing Lin reminded him from the doorway.
With the alliance formed, boosting the overall strength of the Dan Alliance, Xiao Ze could leave the Dan Tower and head to the Barren Ancient Domain with confidence.
"Let's go. The Barren Ancient Domain is beyond the northeastern region of the Dou Qi Continent. It will take some time to get there from the Dan Tower, but we should make it if we leave now."
After making preparations, the trio left the Dan Tower and headed for the Barren Ancient Domain.
