Chapter 331: Chapter 229: Cultivation World 19_2
Conduct a bloodline test for Jiu Jiu.
After seeing the bloodline rune light up, the smiles on the faces of the venerables faded.
Heavenly Industry Venerable transmitted, "It’s the emperor’s bloodline!"
The first Cat Demon was named Si, a Nine-tailed Cat Demon, who founded the Cat Demon Clan and was revered as an emperor according to Human Clan customs.
Si had many offspring, some of which, due to weaker bloodline power, became Eight-tailed, Seven-tailed... One-tailed.
However, later on, the Cat Demon Clan fragmented, and there were no longer any emperors.
And the emperor’s bloodline, as time passed, grew increasingly faint.
But Jiu Jiu’s emperor bloodline is extremely pure, even purer than that of Tianye Demon Venerable and the other Nine-tailed Venerables.
Lianyu Demon Venerable transmitted, "Such a pure emperor’s bloodline, it might be even older than our birth."
This Cat Demon cub could perhaps be considered their ancestor or something.
After the bloodline test, Lianyu Demon Venerable had Si Lingle take Jiu Jiu away.
The venerables discussed amongst themselves and decided to conceal the fact that Jiu Jiu possesses the emperor’s bloodline.
If other Cat Demon Clans were to learn of this, Jiu Jiu might be in danger.
Some Cat Demon Clans deeply resent the pure emperor’s bloodline.
The venerables gave many items to Jiu Jiu, who accepted them all.
After returning to her cave, Si Lingle began sorting through her belongings.
During her sorting, she retrieved the two demon bones she had previously found with Yin Shi and the others.
It was only then that she realized that these demon bones were actually for storage.
This Great Demon had refined its bones into a storage device, and inside these two bones were many heavenly materials and earthly treasures, top-grade Spirit Stones, and even three Immortal Stones.
Si Lingle did not recognize the Immortal Stones, but Little Zi did and informed her.
However, as soon as the Immortal Stones were taken out, the Reincarnation Realm reacted, flying out from Si Lingle’s Dantian and devouring the three Immortal Stones.
Before Si Lingle could even stop it, the three Immortal Stones were gone.
But the power of these Immortal Stones was indeed strong, repairing two long cracks in the Reincarnation Realm.
As for some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Jiu Jiu unabashedly took some.
Si Lingle didn’t say anything because these heavenly materials and earthly treasures are more effective for the Demon Clan.
They don’t have as much use for the Human Clan.
It took Si Lingle several days to sort through these things, and after she finished, she suddenly remembered the crystal-clear fruit Jiu Jiu had found in the Secret Realm.
Si Lingle asked Jiu Jiu, who told her it was the Star Spirit Fruit Tree.
This tree only absorbs Star Power to grow, requiring over a thousand years to bloom and bear fruit.
Consuming this Star Spirit Fruit Tree can change one’s physique, making the absorption of Spiritual Energy faster.
Moreover, the Star Spirit Fruit contains Star Power, which, if mastered, could be beneficial for future Crossing Tribulation and Ascending.
Knowing it was the Star Spirit Fruit Tree, Si Lingle prepared to leave the Demon Clan and return to the sect.
She wanted to try cultivating this Star Spirit Fruit Tree, and if she could encourage its branches to grow roots, she would then possess a Star Spirit Fruit Tree.
Half a month later, the venerables agreed to let Si Lingle leave.
As she departed, she received more items from the venerables.
Si Lingle also gave some items in return, including Spiritual Wine and insights on refining teleporters.
The venerables had been so kind to her, and she felt guilty for deceiving them.
However, she couldn’t reveal the truth to them, so she could only offer gifts as thanks.
If she could repay the venerables in the future, she would certainly do so to repay their kindness.
After leaving the Demon World, Si Lingle returned to the sect. Upon her return, her master was still in seclusion.
Si Lingle left a message and also went into seclusion.
Jiu Jiu lay on the bed, watching Si Lingle tinkering with some things it had never seen before.
"What are you doing?" Jiu Jiu couldn’t help but ask.
"Trying to grow roots for the Star Spirit Fruit Tree’s branches," Si Lingle replied.
"Grow roots? You’re dreaming," Jiu Jiu said. "The Star Spirit Fruit Tree is a naturally grown spiritual object. If it could grow roots from branches, it wouldn’t be called a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object."
"Who knows until we try," Si Lingle smiled and continued her research.
Si Lingle sliced sections and used an analyzer to examine the cellular structure of the Star Spirit Fruit Tree.
...
...
More than three months passed by, and four segments of the cultivated Star Spirit Fruit Tree branches had grown roots and sprouted leaves.
Among them, two segments had grown very healthy roots, while the roots of the other two segments were thin and short.
