Chapter 130: Chapter 118 Golden Crow? Coo Coo! _2
Translator: 549690339
The problem, indeed, was that this giant was simply too immense, and too long had it fallen. Rather than calling it the skeleton of a giant, it may be more appropriate to refer to it as an extremely tough rock that vaguely resembles the frame of a skeleton.
To bestow the spiritual essence onto a rock that’s larger than a mountain, to awaken it, to make it move, one must infuse every part of the giant skeleton with Soul Power.
Otherwise, if only a part were to move, wouldn’t that be laughable? That would merely be an incomplete piece, of what use could it be?
“This indeed is a daunting task!”
After the consumption of Soul Power exceeded one-third, Feng Qing’an stopped his action. He observed that the area surrounding his standing point, spanning dozens of feet, glowed a faint golden hue, distinct from other parts around, seemingly regain its vitality.
However, as soon as Feng Qing’an ceased his action, the glow dimmed quickly, as if all that Feng Qing’an had imbued with his Soul Power was rapidly dissipating.
But upon closer observation, he heaved a sigh of relief. Indeed, a portion had dissipated, but his Soul Power had indeed transformed a part of the skeleton. No longer was it a mere hard rock.
The dimmed glow was just the spiritual essence being internalised. This meant his approach was viable. However, he had no clue how much time it would take to fulfill the task.
“Feng Qing’an, you succeeded!”
A girl observed Feng Qing’an’s happy but strained face and exclaimed with joy.
“I’m far from success yet. But I can continue trying; I may need to visit this place often in the future!”
“Great, great!”
Upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s words, Nan Ge rejoiced instantly. She had been living in the underworld and could only travel to the mortal world at specific times. But if Feng Qing’an was willing to step into the underworld before dawn and not return until daybreak, she could always accompany him.
“Come, let’s go examine the Solar Flare Tree!”
Feng Qing’an, whose idea had become a reality but could not be turned into a success for the moment, looked at the girl. Through just one glance, Nan Ge understood his intentions, and nuzzled herself into his arms.
“Carry me there!”
“Okay!”
Feng Qing’an leaped down from the giant skull and hurried towards the location where the Solar Flare Tree was planted. Upon reaching the hilltop emanating a warm glow, Nan Ge ran out from Feng Qing’an’s arms without him saying anything. This was a power she couldn’t touch at the moment.
“Identify! ”
[Species: Solar Flare Tree] [Attributes: Sun, Wood, Sky] [Potential Ranking: Junior Commander]
[Combat Power Ranking: None]
Compared to the last time, it looked like nothing had changed. But in reality, the tree had grown considerably taller, even surpassing the height of Feng Qing’an. The second branch had sprouted, and the flower bud on the first branch was now as big as his fist, ready to burst into bloom.
Feng Qing’an walked forward, placed his hand on the trunk that was as thick as an adult’s arm, and infused it with his Soul Power, which the Solar Flare Tree absorbed greedily.
Once the remaining Soul Power diminished to one-sixth of its original amount, Feng Qing’an halted the transfer. This little tree, emitting a soft glow, rustled with its crystal-clear leaves, seemingly unsatisfied, yearning for more.
“There’s no more, wait until next time!”
Feng Qing’an wasn’t going to give away all his remaining strength. He had to save some power for himself at all times, even if there was no danger in this place, as he still needed to maintain the “Invocation Technique”.
“Nan Ge, let’s go!”
Feng Qing’an was about to leave the area when he suddenly felt a warm sensation radiating from behind him. It was accompanied by a refreshing floral fragrance that permeated the soul and made him feel incredibly relaxed.
“Feng Qing’an, the tree is blooming!”
Nan Ge, who was also preparing to receive the youth, suddenly pointed in surprise at the Solar Flare Tree behind Feng Qing’an.
He turned around and saw the first flower bud that had been there since the tree sprouted from the ground. Right now, it was slowly blooming, with endless lights bursting forth.
Not granting Feng Qing’an much time to ponder, he rushed towards the sapling, gripping the slender trunk. His palms irradiated with golden Soul Light once again. However, this time, the power wasn’t consumed by the tree, but transformed into a halo that enveloped the tree.
The Fourth Soul Contract!
Although he didn’t know what the blossoming of the Blazing Sun Tree signified, Feng Qing’an instinctively felt he couldn’t miss it, or else all the Soul Power he painstakingly poured out these past moments would be in vain.
Therefore, Feng Qing’an decided to make a pact with the Blazing Sun Tree right then and there, disregarding any hidden threats. He would leave dealing with that to his future self.
All he needed to do now was concentrate on reaping the benefits and not let the opportunity slip away.
After his pact with Donghuang, particularly after witnessing Donghuang’s attitude towards him, Feng Qing’an’s confidence was greatly boosted.
Therefore, he barely paid any mind to the risks he might be overlooking in the Blazing Sun Tree.
When the Soul Ring shrank and integrated into the tree trunk, the previously chaotic radiance of the Blazing Sun Tree started to converge and flow like water, funnelling into his body through his palm as it pressed against the tree trunk.
The power within Feng Qing’an that initially belonged to Nang Ge began to be expelled. This was a conflicting force that Feng Qing’an for now could not reconcile with.
Therefore, Feng Qing’an dismisses the ‘Soul Descent Technique’, returning all power back to Nang Ge and prepared to welcome new strength because the fourth Soul Contract was complete.
The Blazing Sun Tree seemed to lack self-awareness. It only had a trace of spirituality that allowed Feng Qing’an to form a pact with it. Thus, his contract with the Blazing Sun Tree was unusually smooth, even more so than with Black Mountain.
At the moment the contract was established, the Beast Tamer and the contracted spirit complemented each other, each sharing their strong points to make up for what the other lacked.
At this moment, Feng Qing’an felt comfortably warm throughout his body, with no discomfort. Regardless of the chilling Yin Wind that occasionally blew through the shadows, he wasn’t affected at all. The Blazing Sun Tree’s power was a much better match for him than Nang Ge’s cold, Yin oriented power.
The first bud that grew on the Blazing Sun Tree burst into bloom at this moment, and on another new branch, another bud began to develop quietly.

“What’s happening?”
The sudden rise in potential was not surprising, but the surge in combat strength caught Feng Qing’an off guard. What combat abilities could a tree possibly have? Just as this question emerged in his mind, something happened.
Cheep cheep!
The crisp, childlike sound of a bird chirping reached his ears. Feng Qing’an’s eyes quickly focused on the source of the sound—it was the blooming Blazing Sun flower. The flower was much smaller than the one he previously obtained but otherwise identical.
At this moment, within the heart of the flower, a golden-red glow began to pulsate, outlining the figure of a small bird. The chirping sound he heard was coming from this little creature.
“Feng Qing’an, there’s a bird growing from your tree!”
Sounding amazed, Nang Ge also watched as a bird was born from a blooming flower on the tree.
Quack quack!
Suddenly, the crisp, pleasant sound changed. It became shrill and grating. However, before Feng Qing’an could frown at the noise, it changed again.
Squeak squeak!
Chirp chirp!
With a blank expression, Feng Qing’an watched as the bird born from the Blazing Sun flower tried out various chirping sounds. As one who had made a pact with the Blazing Sun Tree, he knew this new creature was just testing its voice, indulging in the novelty of its existence.
Coos coos!
Coos coos!
Finally, under Feng Qing’an’s watchful eyes, the tiny bird, no larger than his palm, settled on a call that pleased it and repeated it continuously. As it did so, it fully took form, embodying perfection.
Coos coos!
The colorful little bird fluttered its wings and took off. Unsurprisingly, it landed on Feng Qing’an’s shoulder, tilting its head in curiosity to look at the teenager as it cooed, locking eyes with Feng Qing’an who turned to regard it..
