Chapter 980: Chapter 630: Divine Tree Awakens the Spirit!
After learning the Spirit Skill·Candlewick Trace, Du Yu conducted a thorough experiment.
It proved that as long as the candle flame burns, no matter how far Du Yu goes, he can receive messages transmitted by the other party.
Even in the Otherworld!
Even when Du Yu enters the Sea Realm, he can feel it when Xiaoyan extinguishes the flame in the Red Bamboo Courtyard.
It’s truly like a temporary contract has been signed between a person and a flame.
After all, when Du Yu and his Demon Pet are inside and outside the Mountain and Sea Bell, they can still communicate through the contract.
Purely from the perspective of "transmitting information," this Fire Spirit Skill is incredibly powerful!
Although the transmitted information is very vague, Du Yu only knows there are living beings passing by and can’t figure out exactly what they are.
But bear in mind, this is merely the Second Level·Unyielding Silver Quality Candlewick Trace!
Once the quality improves, the various aspects of this Spirit Skill will be significantly enhanced.
Of course, the drawbacks of this Spirit Skill are quite obvious.
Just hope others don’t stomp out your candle flame~
Moreover, the candle flame could expose your whereabouts and let enemies know your direction of movement.
After some contemplation, Du Yu gave this Demon Skill a clear positioning.
Candlewick Trace isn’t meant for internal conflicts within the Human Race or Beast Race.
It’s meant for fighting against Cold Beasts!
Cold Beasts lack rationality; when facing a candle flame, instead of dodging, they are likely to approach it.
The Ashen Arrow has provided Du Yu with excellent examples before.
The Ashen Arrow just needs to circle in Xuena City, leaving flames on the roads, and the Cold Beasts in the buildings will naturally be attracted and rush into the raging fire.
Additionally, Unyielding Silver·Candlewick Trace can continue burning for about 20 seconds if not destroyed.
It’s only fair to say it’s satisfactory.
After all, it’s only at the Second Grade, can’t expect too much.
What really troubled Du Yu is that this thing requires barefoot activation...
Who fights without wearing shoes?
Master Qing occasionally goes barefoot and doesn’t look abrupt, making him appear like an Immortal in descent.
But Du Yu going barefoot?
It just feels a little weird.
However, with the Demon Breath Battle Robe protecting him, he isn’t worried about getting his feet scraped.
According to Brother Li Jing, when the Spirit Skill level is high enough and Du Yu’s mastery of the skill is deep enough, he can perform it even with shoes on.
Hmm... let’s hope so.
As a modern person, Du Yu isn’t used to going out barefoot; he even wears slippers at home.
After thoroughly researching the Fire Spirit Skill, Du Yu took Hongye to the Mountain and Sea Realm in the late night.
After sowing some grass seeds in the Dust Spirit Garden, Fast Emperor was brought along to be muscle, going to the Mountain Realm.
Having the honor of carrying the Great Demon Emperor, it didn’t feel glorious to it, rather incredibly heavy.
One man, one bear, and one deer headed west, directly toward the Twin Tree Area.
"Nai~"
"Nai!" The alert Dust Spirit Deer clan called out when they saw Du Yu approaching from afar.
"Nai~~~" Fast Emperor let out a long roar, leaping over the tall Jia Rong Grass, landing in front of the Bai Clan Leader.
The Celestial Level·Fast Emperor’s body length is only 1.8 meters, its height just 1.4 meters, within the range of ordinary horse size, suitable for Du Yu to ride.
Yet in the presence of the Bai Clan Leader, who is over 4 meters long and over 3 meters tall, Fast Emperor seemed like a toy...
"Nai~" Bai Yujing lowered its deer head, extended its pink tongue, and gently licked Du Yu’s cheek.
"This is Hongye, remember?" Du Yu held the snow-white deer head with both hands, smiling and caressing.
"Nai." Bai Yujing’s deer eyes showed a bright smile, looking at Hongye who was dismounting.
"Ying." Hongye, carrying a bamboo basket, responded with equal friendliness.
"Are you and your clan living well?" Du Yu asked with concern, turning to look at Father Bai and Mrs. Bai.
"Very well, we watch the Twin Trees grow day by day, feeling accomplished." Bai Yujing’s ethereal voice echoed in Du Yu’s mind.
"I bought Wind Cotton Grass seeds for you, so we can sow them."
"What?"
Du Yu: "Wind Cotton Grass, the demonic plant grass growing on cliff edges, your clan especially loves to eat."
"Thank you, master." Bai Yujing’s eyes were filled with surprise, and joy surged in her heart.
She suddenly tilted her head, using her long antlers to hook Du Yu and directly tossed him onto her back.
Fast Emperor stepped back a few steps, filled with envy and respect, looking up at the towering Bai Clan Leader.
"Hehe." Du Yu patted the Beautiful Immortal Deer’s back, "You’ve been here long enough, it’s time to return to the Acupoint Home, don’t delay your own cultivation."
"Okay, Du Yu." Bai Yujing’s sweet voice carried a bit of apology.
Ever since the Dust Spirit clan entered the Mountain and Sea Bell, she has been spending time with her parents and clansmen, having not accompanied Du Yu for many days.
"You and Hongye go sow seeds." Du Yu dismounted the deer, heading towards the Twin Trees, "She has experience; she planted during her time in the Sea Realm."
"Nai~"
"Ying." Hongye hugged a bag of grass seeds, lightly leaped onto Bai Yujing’s back.
As Bai Yujing soared high, Du Yu arrived in front of the Twin Trees.
The Twin Trees swayed left and right, accompanied by melodious rustling sounds.
"You grow so fast!" Du Yu marveled, the last meeting was 8 or 9 days ago.
Back then, the Twin Trees were only at Du Yu’s waist, while now, they reached his chest.
What is this growth speed?
What will its complete form be?
The Twin Trees Du Yu encountered in the Twin Tree Realm were naturally branches of the Kunlun Divine Tree, standing 80 meters to several hundred meters tall.
But the Twin Trees before him are not branches; they’re descendants of the Kunlun Divine Tree.
Does this mean they can grow to several thousand meters too?
The more he thought, the more excited Du Yu became.
He held the "Big Hemp Flower" with both hands, gently caressing along the spiral tree trunk pattern.
"Creak~"
The Twin Trees evidently sensed Du Yu’s joy, happily shaking their leaves, while the spiral trunks tightened some more.
Du Yu patted the Divine Tree and the Demon Breath Tree with both hands, full of envy: "You grow so fast, the next time we meet, you’ll surely be taller than me."
"Yu."
"Du Yu..." Two small and light voices quietly echoed in Du Yu’s mind.
Du Yu was startled in his heart: "Are you speaking?"
The branches of the Divine Tree and the Demon Breath Tree tapped Du Yu’s head lightly like they were playing on a drum set.
"Oh my~" Du Yu stepped back a few steps, dumbfounded, staring at the Twin Divine Trees.
Other demonic plants may possess intelligence, but only after reaching the Spirit Level can they convey thoughts.
But the Twin Trees... worthy of being the Mother of the Great Xia Demon Spirit Civilization!
"Yu."
"Yu." The two Divine Trees seemed united in their sentiment, transmitting only one word, and the sound became clearer.
The Spirit Branch and the Demon Branch continued to use Du Yu’s head as a drum, gently tapping.
Du Yu reached out both hands and grasped the two branches.
However, he only had two hands, yet the Twin Trees had countless branches.
"Da da da."
"Da da da~" The crisp knocking sound left Du Yu quite helpless.
Why does it even have a rhythm now?
Truly like two mischievous children!
Divine Tree: "Grow."
Demon Breath Tree: "Quickly."
Du Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, wondering what the mischievous children meant?
A crisp "ding" sounded.
The Spirit Branch and the Demon Branch overlapped, tapping on Du Yu’s head.
Du Yu’s eyes widened suddenly as if the branches had tapped open a "gap" on his head?
Not a physical wound, nor a tear in the Demon Breath Battle Robe.
But a tremor at the Baihui Acupoint at the top of his head in terms of cultivation significance.
"Buzz!"
Du Yu’s body stiffened, his brain buzzing.
Neither the Ren Meridian in front nor the Du Meridian in the back had reached the Baihui Acupoint on the head.
This acupoint had always been in a relatively dormant state, but now it was vaguely vibrating...
This is heralding the promotion to a Demon Taming General.
The Fifth Level·Demon Taming General can establish a connection between the Demon Tamer and the world.
The question is, where to establish it from?
The Baihui Acupoint at the top of the head!
The Divine Tree touches me on the top, and the Twin Branches open the Celestial Spirit!
"Jia, Jia Rong, inform Master Qing to come over..." Du Yu stammered, slowly sitting down on the ground.
Currently, the Ren and Du Meridians within Du Yu remain unconnected.
A section of meridian is missing from his forehead to the top of his head.
From the perineum acupoint below to the sea of qi acupoint at the navel, a section of meridian is also missing.
And when these two sections of meridians are opened, when the Ren Meridian and Du Meridian truly form a closed loop, that is when one advances to a Demon Taming Saint!
Du Yu, evidently, is still quite far from reaching the Demon Taming Saint Level.
But now, once the dormant Baihui Acupoint on top of his head is opened, it has become a base of operations.
Du Yu can appropriately advance the battle line, using the Baihui Acupoint as a bridgehead, to further expand the demon breath vein towards the Forehead Acupoint.
This also means that he is one small step closer to the so-called "Double Meridian Closed Loop."
"Thank, thank you, Little Twins." Du Yu’s head buzzed, and his speech became somewhat labored.
Divine Tree: "Don’t thank, you are meant to."
Demon Breath Tree: "Grow fast."
Short but conveyed by two trees in unison, with not a single pause in between, they flowed very smoothly.
Du Yu closed his eyes: "Still, thank you both."
For ordinary people, the window for promotion isn’t so easy to open.
Although Paper Crane Disciples are an exception, the Twin Trees at least helped Du Yu push open the window a bit sooner.
"Nai~"
"Nai!" The Dust Spirit Deer, incredibly intelligent, naturally realized the young human was about to advance.
Under the leadership of Father Bai and Mother Bai, the Immortal Deer emitted jubilant cries and flocked towards Du Yu.
This is a great tonic!
"Nai~~~" Bai Yujing also descended, with melodious deer calls, diving headfirst into Du Yu’s body.
Leaving behind Hongye, holding half a bag of grass seeds, landed on the ground and remained by Du Yu’s side.
Hongye gazed at Bai Yujing’s disappearing figure, full of loss in her heart.
Du Yu’s Acupoint Home, she had been there before.
It was very comfortable, very stable, but... now there’s no longer any space for her.
It’s hard to imagine that Du Yu, who is in a state of advancement, can still pay attention to Hongye’s emotions.
As seen, Du Yu, meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly toppled in Hongye’s direction.
"Ying~" Hongye hurriedly took a step forward, supporting Du Yu’s shoulders.
And once Du Yu fell, he did not sit up straight again.
Du Yu remained silent, and Hongye dared not utter a word to disturb him.
She hesitated for a moment and then sat down right there.
Great Demon Emperor transformed into a backrest, allowing Du Yu to nestle in her fluffy, soft embrace.
Wave after wave of energy injected into Du Yu’s body, also enveloped Hongye’s figure...
