In the midst of his excitement, a thought suddenly struck Li Yang.

’Has the World Tree also broken through to King Level?’

Li Yang’s Cultivation Technique was very strange. Whatever level his main body reached—even if it was through the help of Spirit Fruits and Medicinal Herbs—his avatars’ strength could advance rapidly, endlessly absorbing energy from the world!

Previously, when he refined the Seven-Colored Orchid Fruit and broke through to Celestial Level, his octopus avatar deep in the sea broke through to Celestial Level just three days later!

And now, three days had passed since he broke through to King Level, and his octopus avatar had broken through as well!

In fact, he didn’t just have the octopus avatar; he had another one—the World Tree avatar!

It was just that this avatar had always been kept hidden!

After all, the World Tree avatar possessed a heaven-defying means of resurrection! Both he and his octopus avatar had left a drop of their blood inside the World Tree avatar. Even if they died, they could be revived through that blood!

And at this very moment, the World Tree had also broken through to King Level!

Although it was a tree, the World Tree could also cultivate. It was just that, in Li Yang’s perception, it seemed unable to attack proactively. It could only move its branches for passive defense and the like.

’Now that it’s broken through to King Level, has the World Tree avatar undergone some kind of change?’

Li Yang quietly sensed the changes. Suddenly, his gaze shifted, and he walked out of the palace.

"Li Yang, are you refining the Seven-Star Fruit?" A King Level Cultivator walked toward him, looked at Li Yang, and immediately asked with a smile.

His face was familiar; it was Wang Bing, the person who had been in charge of the island before.

Li Yang smiled and said, "Yes, I’ve refined some of it."

Hearing this, Wang Bing’s expression seemed to shift slightly, but the smile on his face remained as he remarked with a sigh, "Once you’ve finished refining it, I expect your strength will catch up to ours."

Li Yang just smiled. After a brief exchange, he said directly, "Director Wang Bing, I have something to attend to, so I’ll be going."

He was anxious to check on his World Tree avatar and didn’t really feel like chatting with Wang Bing.

Seeing Li Yang’s hurry to leave, Wang Bing smiled and said, "Go on, then."

He watched Li Yang’s departing figure, and the smile on his face faded somewhat.

He had come this time to befriend Li Yang and was planning to invite him to a meal. After all, Li Yang was so young; to reach King Level at such an age meant his future accomplishments would be limitless.

However, it seemed Li Yang had no interest in deepening their acquaintance.

’Sigh, he reached King Level at such a young age, and the Palace Master even gave him a Seven-Star Fruit. A Seven-Star Fruit, of all things! Li Yang just broke through and he’s already rushing to refine it. I wonder how much of its medicinal effect will be wasted.’

Wang Bing sighed to himself.

He was green with envy. He was incredibly envious of that Seven-Star Fruit.

In truth, items like Spirit Fruits needed to be refined slowly and utilized properly to better absorb the Spiritual Power within.

After using one, you should let your body fully adapt before using another. That way, it wouldn’t place a burden on the body...

Otherwise, if you absorb it recklessly, the more you absorb, the harder it becomes to advance later. It’s like taking medicine—the more you take, the less effective it becomes over time.

In his opinion, for Li Yang to have broken through to King Level at such a young age, it must have been due to refining Spirit Fruits. After such a breakthrough, he should have adjusted for at least a few months before refining the Seven-Star Fruit. That would have yielded the best results.

But instead, Li Yang started refining the Seven-Star Fruit the moment he got it. In Wang Bing’s eyes, this was a complete waste of a priceless treasure, squandering its medicinal effects.

If it were given to him, he was confident he could break through to the Mid King Level within a year!

But Shen Xuan had given it to Li Yang, and how Li Yang used it was his own business. It was useless for him to be envious.

’Sigh, we’ll see. We’ll see how far Li Yang can go. Cultivation in the King Level Realm is not that easy,’ Wang Bing thought to himself.

Many people might break through to King Level in just a few years, only to remain stuck at the Early King Level, unable to advance any further.

...

After leaving Celestial Origin Palace, Li Yang returned to Coastal City.

He went directly to a spot on the seabed, moved aside a rock, and dug through the sand. Soon, a white tree appeared before his eyes.

’The World Tree avatar has changed... Is this a change in its nurturing ability?’

The World Tree had a Nurturing Space. Before, he had sensed that the Nurturing Space could gestate one avatar, and so, the octopus avatar was born!

After that, he felt that the World Tree could no longer create life.

But just now, after the World Tree broke through to King Level, he clearly sensed that its Nurturing Space could gestate another life!

Li Yang thought silently, ’According to the inherited information I received from the World Tree avatar, wasn’t this type of life form only supposed to be able to create a single life?’

When he had successfully bonded with the World Tree, some of its inherited information had appeared in his mind. That information clearly told him that this World Tree could only gestate one life.

Why could it now gestate a second? Li Yang didn’t quite understand.

’Should I give it a try?’

A sudden idea struck Li Yang. Whatever the reason, couldn’t he just test it out?

But after thinking about it, creating another avatar right now seemed to be of no use to him.

Before, it was because he was short on money, so he created the octopus avatar to search for treasure in the ocean.

But now, he wasn’t short on money, and his strength had reached this level. Creating any other life form seemed rather useless to him.

SWOOSH!

In the distance, a behemoth rushed over, arriving in front of Li Yang the instant it appeared.

This behemoth was over twenty meters long, but at this moment, it stayed obediently by Li Yang’s side. It was none other than the octopus avatar, the current absolute hegemon of the ocean!

Li Yang had noticed the anomaly with the World Tree and had rushed here to investigate, summoning the octopus avatar to his side.

Lost in thought, Li Yang didn’t immediately try to gestate a new life.

Since it was of no use to him for the time being, why should he create one? Perhaps in the future, he would suddenly have a need and think of something to create. It wouldn’t be too late to do it then.

It was just like his previous idea to search for treasure in the ocean, which led him to create the octopus avatar!

When another idea came to him in the future, he would create whatever life form was needed at that time.

His gaze swept across the surroundings, and his interest was suddenly piqued.

’Why did the World Tree appear here?’

He was fully aware of how miraculous the World Tree was, but why was this strange tree here? Had it grown naturally? Li Yang absolutely refused to believe that.

A special life form from the Cosmos that could gestate life and resurrect the dead had just appeared here. Something was definitely strange about it.

Previously, Li Yang had only cultivated his physical body, so it was impossible for him to investigate anything.

But now, he had broken through to King Level!

One of the abilities of the King Level was detection, capable of even sensing Relic Spaces hidden in the void!

Perhaps there was something unusual nearby!

BOOM!

As numerous thoughts swirled in his mind, the aura around Li Yang suddenly pulsed outward. He began to carefully sense the surrounding void for anything out of the ordinary.

However, after a full minute, there was still no change in the surroundings. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

’Is there nothing here?’

Li Yang thought to himself.

His consciousness also scanned the surrounding area, trying to see if there was anything he had missed.

But still, he couldn’t find anything out of the ordinary.
