A Druid Also Can Cultivate-Chapter 344 - 326: Explosive Growth, the Beast King Druid’s Method of Advancement (Part 2)

Chapter 344: Chapter 326: Explosive Growth, the Beast King Druid’s Method of Advancement (Part 2)

"What exactly is Ling Qianjue planning? Could it be..."

Immediately, a possibility arose in Qi Ping’s mind:

Divinity Transformation!

It’s been at least tens of thousands of years since a Divinity Transformation Cultivator has emerged in the Qingtian Realm.

The breakthroughs required for the Divinity Transformation Realm are more challenging than all the previous realms combined. Moreover, the total resources in the Qingtian Realm are no longer sufficient to support the emergence of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

Even with only two Tier Three Spirit Veins, it’s impossible to sustain a Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

Even if all resources were exchanged, it might still not be enough to acquire the necessary Spiritual Medicine and Elixir for a breakthrough. Furthermore, the Qingtian Realm doesn’t just belong to Ling Qianjue alone.

It’s worth noting that even Lin Wuji, an Immortal Envoy constantly fed blood and supported by the Immortal Alliance, is only at the Mid Stage of the Nascent Soul.

"If that’s the case, it makes sense. Only Divinity Transformation can explain Ling Qianjue’s actions..."

The more Qi Ping thought about it, the more convinced he was of the possibility that only Divinity Transformation was worth such a grand scheming.

"Earth Spirit Fire Lizard... the power of the Earth Veins throughout the Qingtian Realm... And it seems Ling Qianjue has also set his sights on me. However, I’ve only discovered this much..."

Qi Ping had an intuition, or it could be deduced from Ling Qianjue’s lifespan and behaviors, that these actions are by no means exhaustive. In fact, these are just a small part!

"Those Spirit Beasts underground that Qi Ping hasn’t discovered yet, Human Race cultivators..."

"Perhaps Ling Qianjue’s cave or secret base also harbors even more important Spirit Beasts and Human Race cultivators..."

Qi Ping believed this wasn’t baseless speculation. If he were in Ling Qianjue’s position, he would also place his most important resources and assets within his territory.

A creature like the Earth Spirit Fire Lizard might just be a minor deal, and it might be left here only because it must harness the Magma World to cultivate.

"And those two Tier Three Spirit Veins or even some powerful Tier Two Spirit Veins might have been plotted..."

Based on what Qi Ping knows about Supreme Elder Ling Qianjue, this old monster’s scheming might far exceed his imagination.

It’s absolutely possible he could use all the resources and living things available in the Qingtian Realm to achieve his Divinity Transformation!

"Wait, could it be that even most of the high cultivation level beings in the Qingtian Realm are also in his plans?"

Qi Ping suddenly felt increasingly fearful, even shivering with coldness.

The last time he discussed Ling Qianjue with Wang He, he already thought of him as terrifying enough. But now it seems, even so, they had only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg.

After all, when one hasn’t seen much, thoughts are limited. Like the captive Earth Spirit Fire Lizard or the extracted Earth Veins in the entire Qingtian Realm, how much is there that hasn’t been realized?

Planning over thousands or even tens of thousands of years, such far-reaching and terrifying strategy is utterly unfathomable.

"Moreover, the recent prediction from Natural Perception also proves something: even with all my Tier Four bees by my side, with the combined power of the Beast King True Form and the Mountain River Master, the outcome is still either "ominous" or "slightly ominous" in battle..."

"So the combat power and terror of Ling Qianjue absolutely exceed mine!"

"However, given the results are often ’slightly ominous,’ it indicates that, with my current strength, I can barely contend against Ling Qianjue, or have the chance to escape, so dealing with Ling Qianjue isn’t completely without hope..."

"Thus, what I must do now is enhance my strength and weaken Ling Qianjue’s power... Especially enhancing the talents of the Mountain River Master and Beast King True Form, as these are the quickest ways to elevate my personal strength!"

With this thought, Qi Ping quietly withdrew from the area, avoiding alarming the snake by staying too long.

...

Upon returning to his territory, Qi Ping began seriously contemplating matters concerning the Supreme Elder.

On this matter, Qi Ping dared not be careless; the pressure this old monster exerted on him was tremendous, filling Qi Ping’s heart with persistent unease. Thankfully, he chose the Bichuan Realm for his breakthrough; otherwise, it was uncertain if unforeseen dangers might arise here.

After some time of thinking, Qi Ping quickly decided on two main countermeasures.

The first is the Beast King True Form, where the enhancement currently requires no hesitation; it involves fervently elevating the strength of the little Stone Spirit, Yaya, and the bee swarms, as these animal companions’ strengths are currently the easiest to enhance.

Especially the bee swarms—once the number of Netherworld Bees and Celestial Brilliance Bees is sufficient, they can directly augment Qi Ping’s attack power equivalent to their Realm!

With king-level bloodlines, the Netherworld Bee and Celestial Brilliance Bee have the potential to reach the late Tier Four, i.e., the late Nascent Soul Stage. And just the quantity of these king-level bee swarms ensures they form a super-catastrophic power. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

To exaggerate, a grand array formed by a million Celestial Brilliance Bees and Netherworld Bees would be more than enough to kill an indefinite number of Nascent Soul Stage foes. Divinity Transformation might not even assure a victory, but Qi Ping currently lacks the resources to cultivate so many bees.

"So from now on, all levels of resources on the territory must focus on cultivation!"

"First, we need to rapidly increase the number of Tier Two Earth Vein Ants, exploring the Qingtian Realm and surrounding Great Realms at the fastest pace, bringing back all resources for cultivating the bee swarms and Bixia Earth Dragons, and discovering places that might harbor Ling Qianjue’s contingencies!"

"Next is swiftly increasing the Bixia Earth Dragon count; using the Wood Spirit Qi generated by Bixia Earth Dragons, accelerate the cultivation of territory resources!"

Once determined, Qi Ping immediately assigned tasks, and the mighty Earth Vein Ant army began sweeping across all directions into the entire underground world!

Using the rapid mobility of the Earth Vein Ants, the sweep quickly spread, and the underground exploration accelerated with the ongoing emergence of new Earth Vein Ants!

And the waste materials brought back by the Earth Vein Ants, suitable for Bixia Earth Dragons, exponentially increased both the breeding speed of Bixia Earth Dragons and the generation speed of Wood Spirit Qi!

The increase in Wood Spirit Qi also rapidly boosted the cultivation and output speed of Spiritual Medicine in the territory, soon surpassing the limit of Qi Ping’s Plant Growth, showcasing the advantages of mass cultivation and production, amazing Qi Ping utterly!

With the rapid growth of Spirit Plants, Qi Ping continuously extracted wood essence to accelerate the growth of Spirit Veins; combined with the role of Earth Vein Ants, the Spirit Veins also surged in strength!

Everything in Qi Ping’s territory accelerated to an exceedingly rapid state. Under this state, the previously slowed rate of Blast Soldiers of the Netherworld Bee and Celestial Brilliance Bee swiftly increased, enhancing the power of the Beast King True Form for Qi Ping more and more!

"This is the true prowess of the Beast King Druid!"

Looking at the flourishing territory, Qi Ping felt a myriad of emotions.

Without the various restrictions from the game, having contracted so many animal companions, there are incredibly numerous development paths to explore, with Earth Vein Ants for exploration, bee swarms for combat, farming, and honey-making, Bixia Earth Dragons for generating Wood Spirit Qi, and little Immortal Tiger for fortune-telling and shelter... The combination provides too many options.

Furthermore, the production power combination of the Beast King Druid and Tree Shepherd was an absolute trump card; Qi Ping is immensely grateful for having chosen the Beast King Druid and Jungle Druid path, perfectly suited for development in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Additionally, Qi Ping had a hunch that the soon-to-awaken Druid profession might also form a super trump card along with the current two Druid professions.

...

With the successful implementation of the animal companion cultivation and Beast King True Form plan, Qi Ping then began the arrangement concerning the Mountain River Master.

Even in Qi Ping’s plan, the Mountain River Master arrangement and development are truly the key to counter the Supreme Elder...
