Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 600 - 348 Origin Life Fruit Germination_2

Having successfully broken through, Ye Feng moved his body a bit and then looked up at the sky somewhat helplessly, where Gu Ao Duo was still circling around the World Tree Body.

"Have you finished your research? I need to take back my World Tree Body," Ye Feng said with a hint of helplessness.

The previous two times he had vanished to the Land of Inheritance to perceive the Rule Origin, he had only spent half an hour, but now it was already one hour. If he didn’t return soon, he feared some trouble might arise.

"The research is almost done. Compress your realm as much as possible, I want to observe it one more time," directed Gu Ao Duo.

Ye Feng felt somewhat helpless but complied nonetheless.

In fact, during this hour, his World Tree Body was not idle either; it was also pondering the realm and could now control it with ease.

Under his manipulation, the realm, which could originally extend up to 10 kilometers in diameter, was forcefully compressed to 1 kilometer, which was already the limit.

Under such conditions, the might of the realm suddenly increased. Ye Feng’s Life Field, unlike other fields, didn’t have strong offensive power.

However, by giving up offensive capabilities, it gained two powerful abilities.

The first was naturally a healing capacity; his field could be considered a super-large-scale Life Healing Art.

The second ability, which was the most important during combat, was suppression of the enemy.

This suppression was all-encompassing, similar to the Power of Heaven and Earth.

According to Ye Feng’s estimation, a Peak of the Seventh Order Strongman entering his field would be directly suppressed to the Early Stage of Seventh Order.

And this was only the weakened version of the field. If it were the complete version, suppressing them to the Sixth Order wouldn’t be a problem either.

However, as Gu Ao Duo kept flying within his realm, Ye Feng wanted to suppress him but found that the other seemed to be non-existent.

This made Ye Feng feel increasingly that Gu Ao Duo was no ordinary Formation Spirit.

After flying for a while longer, Gu Ao Duo finally stopped.

"How was it?" asked Ye Feng immediately.

"Indeed, I’ve made some discoveries. Your field should be related to the two matters I previously conjectured," replied Gu Ao Duo.

"The Supreme Rule is rather special. According to my estimation, as long as you reach the Tenth Layer of Rule Realm, with the strong foundation of the Supreme Rule itself, you can also manifest a simplified version of the realm."

"The reason you could do it, clinging to the lowest standard, should be related to your recent enlightenment and entering the state of Unity of Heaven and Man."

"After all, you have seen the real Life Rule Origin and perceived some of the intricacies of the Rule Realm, which is not surprising at all," Gu Ao Duo explained.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng felt a stir in his heart and inquired, "Does that mean, if I reach the Seventh Level of the Territory Realm, I could then consolidate a weakened version of the Inner World?"

Following the Territory Realm is the Heavenly Ground Realm, where the practitioners can transform their realm into an Inner World, augmenting themselves. Each strike carries the force of Heaven and Earth, which is incredibly terrifying.

Most importantly, having a weakened version of the Inner World would allow one to attempt to activate the Hidden Sky Boat. Previously, it seemed very far off, possibly requiring a year’s time.

But if progress continues at the current rate, that time might not be so far away!

"Unless you can enter a state of enlightenment once again and glimpse the mysteries of the Heavenly Ground Realm beforehand, otherwise, you will need to wait until the Tenth Level of Territory Realm to possibly manifest a simplified version of the Inner World," he said.

"Of course, that’s already quite good, as it directly grants you the ability to fight across boundaries," Gu Ao Duo added.

"You must understand that the higher you climb, the greater the gap between each realm becomes. For most powerhouses, it’s not just about crossing major realms; even crossing minor boundaries is unlikely," Gu Ao Duo remarked with a glance at Ye Feng, feeling that he was never satisfied.

"Alright then, if you have finished your research, I’ll take my World Tree Body back," said Ye Feng.

"Go ahead! Although you are fortunate to possess the realm, don’t be arrogant or complacent. It’s better to break through to the Heavenly Ground Realm sooner rather than later," said Gu Ao Duo as he waved his wings.

The next instant, the World Tree Body vanished from sight.

When Ye Feng returned to Small Phoenix Mountain, he extended his spiritual power outward in a sweeping motion, indeed discovering that a number of official personnel had arrived in Sunset Town.

At the moment, they had all taken positions atop some buildings, either observing through binoculars or looking directly over towards Sunset Valley.

When the massive World Tree Body reappeared, everyone’s face showed a sense of relief.

"Letting them gradually get used to it is good, lest they cause trouble if I’m away too long," Ye Feng muttered to himself.

As he spoke, his voice paused, and his gaze shifted toward the lower reaches of Sunset Valley.

Here, he had designated a clearing as a forbidden area. Ordinarily, his Contracted Animals would cultivate around it, and not even an insect could get in.

The reason for this was because he had planted the Origin Life Fruit here.

It had already been a full week since Ye Feng planted it, yet there had been no sign of activity.

At this moment, Ye Feng finally saw that it had sprouted.

"A full week just to sprout, so how long will it take for it to flower and bear fruit?"

Looking at the sprouted Origin Life Fruit, Ye Feng didn’t know whether to feel happy or sad.

Meanwhile, the Ye Feng who was participating in the Third Order assessment in the canyon’s training field burst a Rock Puppet into pieces with his Thunder Encapsulating Spear and asked Lord Gu Ao Duo, who was not far away, loudly.

"Lord Gu Ao Duo, the Origin Life Fruit has finally sprouted. How long will it take for it to flower and bear fruit?"

"Focus," Gu Ao Duo hadn’t expected Ye Feng to have the mindset to ask questions at such a time.

However, seeing Ye Feng still handling the Rock Puppet with ease, he patiently explained, "It’s hard to say."

"Its growth rate mainly depends on the cultivation environment. Generally, the richer the Spiritual Energy, the faster it grows."

"Typically, even with an optimal environment for accelerated growth, it takes one to two hundred years to flower and bear fruit. If left unchecked, it’s quite normal for it to fruit after four to five hundred years."

Upon hearing this, the Thunder Encapsulating Spear in Ye Feng’s hand almost slipped from his grip and fell to the ground.

"You... you’re joking, right? Such a long time is useless to me; I’m likely to have exceeded the Eighth Order by then, maybe even having become a deity," Ye Feng felt an urge to vomit blood.

After all, the Origin Life Fruit only has the effect of increasing one’s origin at the Eighth Order. Beyond that, it’s useless.

"What I described is the normal situation. I’ve told you before that the best fertilizer for the Origin Life Fruit is the Eighth Order Strongman."

"So, once you’re a bit stronger and have slaughtered a few more Eighth Order Strongmen, bury them in the ground as fertilizer, and within a year, you’ll be able to harvest the fruit," Gu Ao Duo said at a leisurely pace.

Ye Feng had heard this before, and upon hearing it again, he pondered for a moment before asking, "Is it because the Eighth Order Strongmen have the origin within them? Is that the most important thing the Origin Life Fruit needs during its growth?"

"Quite smart; you guessed it. Yes, that’s correct," nodded Gu Ao Duo.

Ye Feng fought while pondering, and after a moment, he spoke again: "If my Life Rule can restore the soul origin, then the life origin of an Eighth Order Strongman should also be recoverable, even more effortlessly."

"So, could I theoretically use the Power of Life Rule to directly substitute the origin and provide absorption for the Origin Life Fruit?"

Upon hearing this question, Gu Ao Duo was slightly stunned, not having considered this possibility before.

"That... could be, might be, perhaps possible!" he said with considerable uncertainty.

Ye Feng, the person in question, didn’t wait for Gu Ao Duo’s reply; he immediately took action with the World Tree Body.

He extended a root to gently touch a verdant leaf, then concentrated a bit of the Power of Life Rule and injected it inside.
