2592 Targeting the Builder Tree!
Among the 10,000 cultivators of Divine Firmament Palace, be it Perfected Immortals or Heaven Immortals, as long as they were seeing the Builder Tree for the first time, their minds would suffer a powerful blow. Their Dao Hearts would be shocked and they could not help but kneel down.
Among them, Immortal King Qing Yang, the Grand Elder of the academy, Sword Immortal Yue Hua, Zither Immortal Meng Yao and the others stood on the spot with calm expressions.
They had seen the Builder Tree before. Although they could still sense the impact of the Builder Tree, they would not kneel.
The feeling was more like a deterrence and awe for many living beings from the Builder Tree!
The Builder Tree seemed to possess sentience.
As long as it was the first time a living being was seeing it, they would have to express sufficient respect!
Among the four great fairies, Chess Immortal Jun Yu, Book Immortal Yun Zhu and Zither Immortal Meng Yao had seen the Builder Tree before and were naturally not affected much.
As for Mo Qing, she cultivated in the academy all year round. This was also the first time she had seen the Builder Tree. She was shocked and could not help but kneel down.
Sword Immortal Yue Hua, Meng Yao and the others looked at the surrounding cultivators kneeling with faint smiles.
Those cultivators were not kneeling to them.
However, they still felt a strange sense of superiority.
“Mmm?”
Right then, Sword Immortal Yue Hua, Meng Yao and the others noticed someone at almost the same time!
Someone who should have knelt on the ground stood upright on the spot and glared at the Builder Tree fixedly in deep thought.
Su Zimo!
Why did he not kneel down?
Sword Immortal Yue Hua frowned.
The Divine Firmament Immortal Domain was far away from the Builder Tree Mountain Range.
There was no way Su Zimo could come into contact with the Builder Tree before he became an Earth Immortal.
After he cultivated to the Earth Immortal realm, he joined Heaven and Earth Academy and had been cultivating in the academy. When did he come into contact with the Builder Tree?
However, he did not think too much about it and merely instinctively thought that Su Zimo had seen the Builder Tree before.
Sword Immortal Yue Hua did not know that in reality, this was indeed Su Zimo’s first time seeing the Builder Tree!
The moment he saw the Builder Tree, the shock in his heart indeed made him feel like prostrating!
However, immediately after, a strong reaction was triggered in his Green Lotus True Body!
If he had not suppressed it tightly, the Bloodline Phenomenon of the Green Lotus True Body would have burst forth against the might of the Builder Tree!
Su Zimo was secretly speechless.
The Creation Green Lotus that was known to be the only one in the world was indeed terrifying.
Even against the ancient Builder Tree, he was unwilling to submit and even had the intention of challenging and suppressing the other party!
Of course, given the current cultivation realm of the Green Lotus True Body, there was no way he could fight against the Builder Tree.
However, it was impossible for the Builder Tree to make the Green Lotus True Body submit as well!
However, the strange thing was that the Builder Tree did not react to the Green Lotus True Body’s resistance.
According to the rumors, the Builder Tree had a spirit and should have some special reaction when it sensed the provocation of the Green Lotus True Body.
“Zimo, when did you come to see the Builder Tree?”
Right then, Yun Zhu’s voice sounded from behind.
“Ah.”
Su Zimo was slightly stunned but he reacted quickly and lied casually, “I once entered this place by mistake and took a look from afar.”
“Everyone says that the Builder Tree has a spirit. Is that true?”
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as he suddenly asked.
Yun Zhu was a learned person and knew everything about history. Her understanding of the Builder Tree was definitely far superior to others.
She would definitely be able to provide an answer regarding this matter.
Yun Zhu nodded and said, “Of course it’s true. The Builder Tree is indestructible and even Emperors can’t break it.”
“The Builder Tree is awake most of the time. Although the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi around it is extremely rich, no living being can approach it, let alone cultivate in the vicinity.”
That was also one of Su Zimo’s questions.
Since the Builder Tree was the core of the Heavenly World and was the key to absorbing Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, wouldn’t it be much easier to cultivate in the vicinity of the Builder Tree?
Yun Zhu continued, “However, the Builder Tree will sleep for a period of time every 100,000 years, ranging from a month to a few years.”
“When the Builder Tree is asleep, living beings won’t be attacked by it when they approach.”
Su Zimo was enlightened. “In that case, the reason why the Nine Firmament Meet is held here every 100,000 years is because of this as well.”
“Exactly.”
Yun Zhu nodded. “For example, the Perfected Immortals on the Perfected Immortal Ranking and Arhats on the Arhat Ranking have the chance to cultivate beneath the Builder Tree.”
“Even if they only get to cultivate for a month, it’s equivalent to 10,000 years of effort!”
In that case, it could explain why the Builder Tree did not react to the provocation of the Green Lotus True Body earlier on.
It was because the Builder Tree was in a deep sleep right now.
Su Zimo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the Builder Tree not far away in silence. A glint gradually flashed through his eyes.
Although he could not brazenly head down to the Builder Tree to cultivate in front of everyone…
However, with the Green Lotus True Body, he could also slowly absorb and refine the lifeforce energy in the body of the Builder Tree True Body if he stood on the peak of the Builder Tree!
He could steal the lifeforce of the Builder Tree!
That thought was truly audacious.
Even Su Zimo was shocked when he realized what he was thinking about.
However, he calmed down before long.
This was a rare opportunity!
He had just broken through to become a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal and it would take him at least a thousand years to cultivate to the peak of a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal.
Now that the Nine Firmament Meet was held and everyone’s attention was focused on the fight for the Perfected Immortal Ranking and the Arhat Ranking, he could secretly absorb and refine the Builder Tree!
Even a trickle of lifeforce from the Builder Tree would be enough for him to cultivate to the peak of a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal.
If he seized this opportunity, he might be able to touch the barrier of the Perfected One realm!
“What are you thinking about? Why is your heart beating so quickly?”
Yun Zhu glanced sideways at Su Zimo with a strange expression.
“N-Nothing.”
Su Zimo chuckled embarrassedly and changed the topic. “There should be some candidates who are more or less confirmed to be the top ten of the Perfected Immortal Ranking and Arhat Ranking at the Nine Firmament Meet this time round, right?”
Yun Zhu could tell that Su Zimo was hiding something but did not ask further. She merely rolled her eyes at him. “There are only ten spots on the Perfected Immortal Ranking and Arhat Ranking respectively.”
“Take the Perfected Immortal Ranking for example. Typically, a supreme monster incarnate will appear in each of the nine Immortal Domains and occupy a spot.”
“Just like that, nine of the ten spots are gone. There will be one remaining spot to fight for.”
“However, the Perfected Immortal Ranking this time round is a little special.”
At that point, Yun Zhu paused for a moment and looked at Su Zimo with a fake smile. “Most of the Perfected Immortals of the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain have been killed by a certain somebody, so they should not be able to fight for the Perfected Immortal Ranking…”
