Chapter 518: Emperor Realm Soul

Two months later, in the Tree Spirit Space, a violent tremor suddenly shook the surroundings. A fluctuation like that of a ruler of the cosmos was spreading at a rapid pace.

This alarmed Zi Yan and Qing Lin, who were meditating in the lotus position. They quickly opened their eyes and had a look at where Xiao Ming was.

The glowing halo around him had vanished, leaving Xiao Ming floating calmly in the void, and although his aura was faint, it left an unforgettable impression on anyone who saw it. He exuded a presence akin to ancient gods and demons.

Terrifying, immense, profound... It possessed a captivating, soul-stirring power.

This was the aura emanating from the depths of his soul, the aura of a noble soul, high above, like a deity looking down upon the world, on the verge of being born.

"Is this a breakthrough?"

Zi Yan murmured to herself. The next moment, an even more massive soul fluctuation erupted as the tyrant Dou Qi raged.

However, after only a second, the oppressive force receded like a tide and Xiao Ming slowly opened his eyes.

"Emperor Realm Soul..."

He clenched his hand slightly and a strange sense of enlightenment washed over him. He hadn't expected to break through to the Emperor Realm so quickly.

Although the Emperor Realm soul was only one step ahead of the Great Perfection of the Heaven Realm, one was heaven and the other was earth...

There was no comparison between the two. Only by truly experiencing the might of the Emperor Realm could one understand why, even if one spent one's entire life, one couldn't break through that heavenly barrier. Because between them...

One was divine and the other was mortal!

He was now powerful enough to take on an eight-star Dou Saint. Apart from Hun Tiandi, Nihility Devouring Flame, and Gu Yuan, there was no one on this continent who could threaten his life!

'Moreover, since I used the tree spirit to break through, my comprehension has also improved...'

Comprehension was one of the most difficult things to improve, and it would bring immeasurable benefits in the future.

"Xiao Ming, how do you feel now?"

At that moment, Zi Yan and Qing Lin, who had been waiting at the side, approached him.

Xiao Ming slowly stood up, and as he did, the space around him began to tremble. He casually stretched out, and the energy of the world rushed towards him, waiting at his beck and call.

With an Emperor Realm soul, any action he made could mobilize the energy of the world.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming took the initiative to suppress the aura of his Emperor Realm soul and returned to a state of simplicity. He no longer looked like the person in charge of a superpower that spanned five regions; he looked more like an ordinary young noble from a prestigious family, albeit exceptionally handsome.

Only those with true strength could perceive the terrifying nature of Xiao Ming beneath this plain facade.

"I feel great now, no problems at all." Xiao Ming smiled at Zi Yan and Qing Lin. After explaining his condition, he asked, "How much time has passed?"

"It's been two and a half months since you started the refinement," Qing Lin replied in a warm tone.

"All right, we've been out long enough this time. It's time to leave."

This journey had been incredibly fruitful. Not only had he broken through to the Six-Star Stage, but his alchemy skills had also advanced to the level of a Golden Pill Grandmaster. He had acquired a large number of Bodhisattva Seeds and Bodhisattva Hearts, and even his soul had reached the Emperor Realm.

Raising his head, Xiao Ming looked at the magnificent Bodhisattva Ancient Tree standing not far away. Its entire body was a stunning shade of green, resembling perfectly carved jade.

He hadn't given up on his last thought.

With an intense look at the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, Xiao Ming took measured steps towards it and spoke softly, "I'd like to express my gratitude to Senior once again; it's time for us juniors to leave. But I can see that you're a lonely tree without any companions of your kind. Would you consider leaving with us?"

The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree: ...

Approaching the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, Xiao Ming placed his hand on the sturdy, ancient trunk and continued to persuade.

"You see, I have a Bodhisattva Ancient Tree seedling with me. You can think of it as your junior. Being with it, you wouldn't have to suffer the loneliness of not having anyone of your own kind to communicate with, would you? Besides, the outside world is very exciting and you can experience a different life!"

Bodhisattva Ancient Tree: *Rustle rustle!* (Do I look like I trust you? You bad guy with a devious heart. This little seedling doesn't even have self-awareness, how can I communicate with it?)

"Cough, cough, you can nurture it, you know? Treat it like your child. That way you'll have a companion and a 'child' in the future. Rest assured, I won't mind," Xiao Ming waved his hand, appearing magnanimous.

On the side, Qing Lin and Zi Yan covered their faces with their delicate hands after hearing this. They were afraid that they would burst out laughing, which might interfere with Xiao Ming's 'persuasive efforts.'

*Rustle...* (This... seems to make sense!)

The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree gently swayed its canopy, making a soft, soothing rustle. It seemed to be genuinely considering his proposal. Its branches slowly descended, eventually brushing over Xiao Ming's head.

Beneath the serene tree, Xiao Ming wore a serene smile on his face, appearing as calm as a lake, but his inner thoughts were somewhat unsettled.

The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, with its limited intelligence and favorable attitude towards him, should agree in theory. But how old was the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree? How could it be so easily persuaded to go with others?

Moreover, his earlier words were indeed a bit far-fetched, leaving him feeling uncertain.

Then, waves of clear air emerged from the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, gathering and solidifying before floating towards the small tree that Xiao Ming had released earlier and hadn't retrieved.

The small tree seemed to grow slightly taller as a result, and its spiritual essence became more abundant.

(I won't join you. I've helped this little fellow awaken its spirit. If you need anything, you can find me through it.)

The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's message was clearly transmitted into Xiao Ming's mind.

'Failure, huh.'

Xiao Ming wasn't particularly disappointed. The fact that the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree helped awaken the seedling's spirit was already a positive result. Although the seedling was unlikely to have much intelligence. The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree wasn't exactly a genius either.

"Alright, I understand. Senior, please send us out. If I have the chance, I will definitely come back to find you."

If he managed to enter the Dou God Realm, it would be very easy for him to find the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree. Besides, the ancient tree had left them a 'contact method.'

"Rustle rustle…"

The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree swayed its branches, bidding farewell to Xiao Ming, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin. It then emitted a brilliant light that engulfed the three of them.

In the midst of this dizzying experience, they didn't resist. When they opened their eyes again, they were already outside of the Spirit Tree Space.

As soon as Xiao Ming and the girls were taken out of the space, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree began to shake violently. A ring of emerald light then expanded from the base of the tree. Under the influence of this light, the ground seemed to turn to liquid, allowing the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree to slowly descend into the earth.

Once the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree entered the ground, not even a nine-star Dou Saint could find it. Unless one had special means, one would have to wait until the next time the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree emerged. But that might not happen for hundreds or even thousands of years...

As Xiao Ming and his partners observed, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree finally sank into the depths of the earth. The grassland emptied as the last glimmer of green light faded.

Watching the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree disappear completely, Xiao Ming retrieved the seedling he had taken out, then ripped open the space and took the first step.

"Let's go. It's time to return to the Heavenly Court."
