Chapter 262: Would I, Ye Cheng, Be a Lustful Man?
Before him lay the mystical Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Descending from the sky, Sun Zhongjing felt the terrifying energy fluctuations within the well. He observed the lush vegetation surrounding the small lake and sensed the excitement radiating from the Blue Silver Emperor in his hands.
He released his divine sense, scanning the entire area to locate the most suitable place for the Blue Silver Emperor to grow.
Since the Blue Silver Emperor was a neutral plant, it had to be planted at the intersection of the cold and hot springs along the shore. Only there would it receive the best nourishment for its growth.
After a thorough search, Sun Zhongjing found the optimal spot.
With a gentle tap of his foot, the soil at the designated location automatically parted, creating a small hole.
He lightly tossed the Blue Silver Emperor forward, and under an invisible force, the fragile little sprout floated weightlessly like a balloon, drifting toward its intended destination.
"Thud."
As the Blue Silver Emperor's roots touched the soil, a soft sound echoed.
Immediately, the surrounding earth closed in, burying its roots securely in place.
The Blue Silver Emperor's leaves began to sway rhythmically, and through his divine sense, Sun Zhongjing could clearly feel a surge of joy emanating from it. The golden patterns on its leaves pulsed, rippling like waves of liquid gold.
In just a few moments, the once one foot tall sprout visibly grew to two feet before stabilizing.
Even so, the immediate effects of this location were undeniable.
Sun Zhongjing, observing closely, noted something remarkable
The infant like consciousness within the Blue Silver Emperor had already matured noticeably in just this short period.
If it had been equivalent to a one year old child before, it was now more like a two year old.
"At this rate, in about a hundred years, it should reach the 100,000 year level again…"
He made a mental calculation.
Reaching 100,000 years in just a century was extremely fast.
This was mainly due to two factors:
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was a sacred land for plant growth, accelerating their development.The Blue Silver Emperor's previous life had already been a 100,000 year soul beast, so it retained the foundation for rapid cultivation.
Though soul beasts are classified by their years of cultivation, they don't necessarily have to live that long to reach those milestones.
Many high bloodline soul beasts could absorb external energy or consume precious resources to speed up their cultivation some achieving 100,000 years in just a few centuries or millennia.
If the only way to increase cultivation was simply to wait, then humans would have long ago hunted soul beasts to extinction.
"A hundred years… that's too long."
Sun Zhongjing frowned slightly.
Originally, he had planned to raise the Blue Silver Emperor to godhood within a decade.
One hundred years?
That was far too slow.
By the time a century had passed, he would probably have already achieved absolute dominance, crafted countless characters and legends, and conquered the world through his Q&A manipulation.
At that point, what use would the Blue Silver Emperor be to him?
Did he look like the kind of person who was interested in Ah Yin's beauty?
"Would I, Ye Cheng, be a lustful man?!"
No!
He just wanted a strong subordinate nothing more!
"There must be a way to speed up her growth…"
Sun Zhongjing searched his memory, recalling how Ah Yin originally regained her 100,000 year cultivation in the original timeline.
It had been through two key factors:
The Blue Silver DomainThe Sea God's divine power
He didn't have the Blue Silver Domain.
But he did have divine power.
Could he achieve the same effect through other means?
As Sun Zhongjing pondered, far away in White Cloud City, Ye Cheng suddenly opened a spatial rift and stepped through.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Upon arrival, Ye Cheng closed his eyes, releasing his divine sense to envelop the entire basin of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
His senses expanded outward, reaching beyond the mountains, covering the entire Sunset Forest.
Instantly, the entire forest fell under his perception.
He recalled how, in the original timeline, Tang San had used the Blue Silver Domain to draw life energy from all the Blue Silver Grass in the area and then used Sea God's Light to help Ah Yin rapidly grow.
Now that he understood the principle, as a fully ascended god, Ye Cheng could easily replicate and even surpass Tang San's method.
After all, as a deity, he was incredibly versatile.
One of his innate divine abilities allowed him to control plants.
This ability let him accelerate plant growth, wither them instantly, or even reshape them however he pleased.
With his divine sense blanketing the entire Sunset Forest, Ye Cheng activated his ability
He commanded all the plants in the forest trees, grasses, and even certain plant type soul beasts to contribute a small portion of their life energy.
Each plant only gave a tiny fraction, ensuring no harm came to them.
However, with countless plants in the vast Sunset Forest, even a tiny amount from each resulted in a staggering amount of life energy.
A limitless ocean of vitality formed.
The entire Sunset Forest transformed into a sea of green light.
Tiny glowing green specks floated into the air, amassing into a tide of pure life energy that surged toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Guided by Ye Cheng's divine control, this concentrated life essence poured into the Blue Silver Emperor, while he used his divine power to further refine and enhance its absorption.
At that moment, the entire Sunset Forest trembled.
Countless soul beasts cowered in fear, retreating into their dens.
The sheer magnitude of energy fluctuations blanketing the forest made them too terrified to move.
The overwhelming pressure of the colossal life force gathering at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was simply unprecedented.
Bathed in endless streams of life energy, the once small Blue Silver Emperor grew at an exponential rate.
Its leaves became as clear as sapphire, shimmering with an ethereal glow.
The golden patterns on its leaves thickened, radiating with increasing brilliance.
And within the core of the plant, a weak, fragmented soul was undergoing an astonishing transformation.
As its cultivation soared, the soul rapidly repaired itself, expanding and evolving at an incredible speed.
Having once been a 100,000 year Blue Silver Emperor, it retained the experience and instincts of a high level soul beast.
Unlike a newly born creature, it didn't struggle with its growth.
Instead, it effortlessly absorbed the remnants of its past accepting the vast inheritance left behind by its former self.
Its once faint, incomplete consciousness was now rapidly being restored and perfected.
A new life was emerging.
A true rebirth.
