Chapter 11: The Marvelous Uses of the Spirit Sky Tree

Deep within the Void Sky Snake Den.
The Dimensional Sphere had already arrived and was now flying toward a spot at the bottom, where extremely dense primordial energy was emanating.
Two giant serpent statues carved from Golden Barbarian Stone coiled around an entrance on either side, looking ferocious and terrifying.
That entrance was the entry point to the Primordial Vein of Tianjiu Star.
Inside the Primordial Vein cave, suffocating amounts of primordial energy kept bursting forth—far denser than that in the Primordial Spirit Veins. And this was merely the energy at the entrance.
Without stopping, the Dimensional Sphere flew into the Primordial Vein cave.
Boom! Boom!
Inside, there were countless tornado-like roars. Those dense primordial energies had already formed tornado-like currents, gathering and dispersing suddenly.
Moreover, when these primordial energy tornadoes converged, they did so with the same type of energy, giving each tornado an extremely bright glow—gold, cyan, blue, red, yellow—exactly the colors of the five elements’ primordial energies.
After flying into the cave, the Dimensional Sphere advanced only ten meters before stopping.
Suddenly, Qu Yi’s figure appeared.
Appearing and disappearing instantly, Qu Yi entered the Dimensional Sphere.
“Haha, Artifact God, we’ve been apart for three months. Have you missed me?” Qu Yi lay sideways on the soft chair, asking the Artifact God.
“Missed you? No. I’ve been sleeping all these three months,” the Artifact God replied calmly.
Qu Yi’s expression tightened.
“Artifact God, now that the Dimensional Sphere has reached the Primordial Vein, can you tell me how to control it?” Qu Yi wisely changed the topic right away.
Only then did the Artifact God show some interest, turning over and opening his eyes to look at Qu Yi.
“Qu Yi, think of the Primordial Vein as being composed of hundreds of Primordial Spirit Veins. In a single Primordial Spirit Vein, there are only five or ten spirit essences, but in the Primordial Vein, the number of spirit essences reaches hundreds or even thousands,” the Artifact God said with a smile.
Qu Yi’s expression froze.
“Artifact God, are you joking?” Qu Yi said with a grin.
With only five spirit essences in a Primordial Spirit Vein, Qu Yi could handle it easily. But hundreds or even thousands of spirit essences? Just thinking about it gave him a headache—how could he control so many?
The Artifact God nodded firmly.
Qu Yi sighed and asked gloomily, “Artifact God, do you know how many spirit essences are in this Primordial Vein?”
The Artifact God lay back down and said lazily, “Exactly, a thousand spirit essences.”

Qu Yi rolled his eyes and lay down on the soft chair as well, flailing his arms and legs around before shouting, “I’m dizzy! How am I supposed to control these spiritual essences here? You can’t expect me to catch them one by one.” Even if it’s one per year, that would still take a thousand years. For Qu Yi, who had only been cultivating for less than five hundred years, the idea of having to spend a thousand years just for one Origin Heavenly Vein was utterly unacceptable. “This Origin Heavenly Vein seems to contain a thousand spiritual essences, but it’s only enough for two of the five to reach the rank of One-Star Heavenly Soul Immortal at the same time,” the Artifact God seemed to think Qu Yi wasn’t troublesome enough and added another piece of information. Upon hearing this, Qu Yi immediately sprang up from the soft chair, sat upright, and stared intently at the Artifact God. “Artifact God, do you mean that if the five of them want to reach the rank of One-Star Heavenly Soul Immortal at the same time, besides this Origin Heavenly Vein, I also need to control two or three more?” Qu Yi asked anxiously. “Yes,” the Artifact God replied lazily. Hearing this, Qu Yi calmed down and quickly understood. In the realms of Immortals, Demons, and Monsters, there were very few powerful beings who had reached the ranks of Heavenly Soul Immortal, Heavenly Soul Demon, or Heavenly Soul Monster, and they were mostly concentrated on those Tian Gang star planets. The reason was that Tian Gang stars had Origin Heavenly Veins that could provide the necessary Origin Energy to help higher-ranked Earth Soul Immortals, Earth Soul Demons, and Earth Soul Monsters reach the ranks of One-Star Heavenly Soul Immortal, One-Star Heavenly Soul Demon, and One-Star Heavenly Soul Monster. Creating a planet-world within one’s body required an enormous amount of Origin Energy. Earth Fiend Stars had Origin Spiritual Veins. Tian Gang Stars had Origin Heavenly Veins. Planet cores had Origin Spiritual Body Minerals. “Artifact God, I suppose you have a way to control this Origin Heavenly Vein, right?” Suddenly, Qu Yi’s face broke into a smile as he stared at the Artifact God without blinking. Anyway, he had no intention of catching the spiritual essences one by one. The Artifact God remained silent for a while but couldn’t resist Qu Yi’s persistence and finally opened its eyes. “Qu Yi, you idiot! You already have a treasure on you that can control this Origin Heavenly Vein!” the Artifact God shouted. After a long time, Qu Yi still racked his brains, unable to recall any other treasure besides the Star Luo Ding that could capture spiritual essences and possibly control an Origin Heavenly Vein. Despite his frustration, Qu Yi forced himself to smile calmly at the Artifact God and asked bravely, “Artifact God, tell me, what other treasures do I have that can control an Origin Heavenly Vein?” Sigh! Sigh! Sigh! The Artifact God sighed repeatedly before finally saying, “The Spirit Void Tree—the one you obtained from the Haotian Immortal Mansion.”

In the Haotian Immortal Mansion, there was a magic artifact world, where a Lingkong Tree bore a hundred thousand magic artifacts. Once Qu Yi took control of the tree’s core, he also gained control over the Lingkong Tree, and then moved it into the Cunjie Ball.

Hearing the Wordsmith God’s words, Qu Yi’s expression grew even darker. Confused, he asked, “Wordsmith God, I certainly know the Lingkong Tree, but what does it have to do with controlling the Primordial Heavenly Vessel?”

The Wordsmith God glared at Qu Yi before simply saying, “The Lingkong Tree certainly can’t control spiritual essences, nor can it control the Primordial Heavenly Vessel. But the Lingkong Tree has a very special ability—it can absorb primordial energy, store and transform it within itself, and then release the five-element primordial energy. As long as the Lingkong Tree enters this Primordial Heavenly Vessel, not only can it grow to the strength of a Heavenly Soul Immortal, but it can also attract various spiritual essences from the Primordial Heavenly Vessel to rest on it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Wordsmith God showed a hint of a smile.

Qu Yi immediately understood what the Wordsmith God meant and burst into hearty laughter. “I get it! As long as those spiritual essences come to rest on the Lingkong Tree, I can capture them one by one and then control them,” Qu Yi said proudly.

The Wordsmith God nodded and lay back on the soft chair.

Qu Yi glanced at it briefly before disappearing and arriving at a special place inside the Cunjie Ball.

By now, the Cunjie Ball contained an activity space as large as a galaxy.

Qu Yi arrived on a green planet, where only one tree grew—namely the Lingkong Tree that had voluntarily followed him.

“Lingkong, an old friend is here to see you,” Qu Yi said with a smile as he landed beneath the ten-thousand-meter-tall Lingkong Tree.

Whoosh!

Under the control of the tree’s core, the Lingkong Tree instantly grew to ten meters in size, and its spherical core flew toward Qu Yi.

“Qu Yi, you’ve come,” the core transmitted a joyful thought.

“Yes, Lingkong. I need you to help me again,” Qu Yi said straight to the point.

Hearing this, the core trembled in the air, showing its eagerness.

“Sure! What is it? Hurry up and tell me,” the core sent a thought back.

Qu Yi smiled and said, “There’s a Primordial Heavenly Vessel outside, filled with countless primordial energies that can help you grow stronger. I want you to enter that vessel. Once your strength improves, I’ll ask you to capture the spiritual essences within it.”

Only by controlling the spiritual essences could one truly control the Primordial Heavenly Vessel.

Upon hearing Qu Yi’s words, the core began to jump frantically, filled with ecstasy.

“Qu Yi, hurry up, let me out quickly,” the tree core sent its thoughts urgently.
Seeing this, Qu Yi smiled, reached out to touch the tree core, and said, “Ling Kong, wait just one more day, and I’ll send you into this Origin Heavenly Vein.”
The Tiny Realm Ball was currently only near the entrance of the Origin Heavenly Vein. If the Ling Kong Tree were placed here, it would surely be discovered by the snake-like strong ones. In one day, Qu Yi could control the Tiny Realm Ball to enter the depths of the Origin Heavenly Vein, thus preventing those snake-like strong ones from finding the Ling Kong Tree.
“Okay, okay…” the tree core kept sending its thoughts.
Qu Yi broke into a sweat and immediately vanished with a flash.
※※※
“Ling Kong, Ling Kong, come out quickly.”
A day later, Qu Yi returned to the Ling Kong Tree.
Soon, the Ling Kong Tree shrank, and the tree core quickly emerged.
“Qu Yi, can I enter the Origin Heavenly Vein now?” the tree core asked urgently.
“Of course. I’ll send you out of the Tiny Realm Ball right now so you can enjoy yourself in the Origin Heavenly Vein,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
The tree core trembled.
Qu Yi then sent a thought, moving the Ling Kong Tree out of the Tiny Realm Ball.
The Ling Kong Tree landed directly on the ground of the Origin Heavenly Vein cave. Its roots immediately sank into the ground, quickly straightening its massive trunk as the energy currents inside the cave blew against it.
At this moment, the stunning Ling Kong Tree began to absorb the origin energy in the cave frantically. With a height of ten meters, it created an energy vortex in an area of hundreds of meters around it, with origin energy continuously flowing into its body.
Now, the Ling Kong Tree could even absorb origin energy to enhance its cultivation level.
The Tiny Realm Ball remained on top of the Ling Kong Tree. Qu Yi sensed the surroundings and smiled in satisfaction, “Let the Ling Kong Tree first reach the strength of a Heavenly Soul Immortal. I’ll come back later to deal with those spiritual beings.”
Apart from the Golden Venerable, the souls of the Wood Venerable, Water Venerable, Fire Venerable, and Earth Venerable had not yet reached the level of a one-star Heavenly Soul Immortal. Therefore, Qu Yi wasn’t in a hurry to control the Origin Heavenly Vein right away. He only needed to wait until all five venerables reached the one-star Heavenly Soul Immortal level before taking control of it.
After that, Qu Yi appeared on top of the Ling Kong Tree, holding the Boundless Star Patterns in his hand.
“Ling Kong, enjoy yourself here for a while. I’ll come see you soon,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
“Go ahead. I’m absorbing energy right now and can’t play with you,” the tree core replied, its thoughts filled with deep satisfaction and comfort.
Qu Yi smiled, then activated the Boundless Star Patterns and left the Origin Heavenly Vein cave.
