The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 983 - 535: Four Thousand Years of Life

...

"In many ways, the Cosmic Box is an outstanding treasure. It is not just a storage treasure, but also a defensive and offensive treasure. However, now, you can only use it to store items and hide them while placing it within."

Yan Xiaobao nodded. He understood that the treasure he obtained was truly amazing, but because of its uniqueness, he still hadn't fully grasped it.

"Come here." The Bull called out, and Yan Xiaobao did as he said. He walked towards the Bull who raised his hand. As the Ancestor's World Power erupted from his body, when Yan Xiaobao took away the life formation, the mountain was split into parts, slowly beginning to self-repair. It moved together as if the formation had never appeared; the cracks slowly healed, and soon the mountain was as it was before. The only difference now was a crater on the ground.

"Sit down." The Bull instructed, and Yan Xiaobao did as he said. "Cut your wrist, let your blood drip onto the ground. Then let your consciousness follow the blood into the soil, feel the world. Have an open mind, and the rest will happen automatically."

The Bull said nothing more, and although Yan Xiaobao was curious, he asked no questions. Instead, he did exactly as instructed with his wrist. He allowed his blood to flow and enter the earth.

Yan Xiaobao let his consciousness follow the blood, while Lan Feng guarded as he entered the ground.

The moment Yan Xiaobao entered the ground, he felt as if he had entered a warm embrace. Everything around him was black, but the earth's comfort and warmth were just soothing and rejuvenating. Feeling this, Yan Xiaobao suddenly felt homesick. He felt as if he had re-entered his mother's warm embrace. As he felt this, he also sensed some of his life force flowing from his body into the world around him. He had used a full four thousand years of life, but Yan Xiaobao was a god. He was immortal, thus his lifespan was endless.

In other words, while his lifespan was infinite, he did not have infinite life force. Despite significant growth since his days as a Saint, the four thousand years leaving him was something he could definitely feel. Though this made him slightly weak, he also felt the embrace around him increased in control. It was now more loving and gentle.

Not only did Yan Xiaobao feel the change, but everyone standing on the mountaintop suddenly felt the entire world begin to tremble. As if the dry ground was suddenly given water.

Yan Xiaobao could feel the warm embrace he was laying out wanting more, but it dared not draw more of his energy. Comfort changed from a parent's embrace to a child yearning for a parent's love. A slight smile appeared on Yan Xiaobao's mind as he allowed his life force to flow from his body into the yearning world around him. The more he infused into the world, the stronger the connection between them became.

The world had no thoughts, unlike Lan Feng who lived within him, but it had instincts and emotions conveyed to Yan Xiaobao through the blood dripping into the soil.

Finally, the Yan Xiaobao who once traveled with the Gods and Deng Wu began to feel something for this world, finally began to understand what the Vermilion Bird had said. Yan Xiaobao slowly poured his life force into the land around him. He could feel it greedily absorbing it all, he could feel the ground's change. The connection he felt grew stronger and stronger.

Though Yan Xiaobao became somewhat weak from using too much energy, he also felt a new strength within. This strength was far less than the life force he exhausted, yet it still existed. The more life force he used, the stronger this energy became.

Those awakened on the mountain top, sensing the tremor across the Kingdom, suddenly saw some spatial fissures in the sky begin to close. They didn't disappear but some reduced in size. Now the air seemed fresher than before. Energy waves emerged from somewhere underground, if they could see what was happening in other realms, they would be astounded.

Every change was insignificant; no miracles appeared, but the heat of the land decreased somewhat. The jungle they saw upon arrival was no longer red, but green, the lava no longer flowed as freely as before.

Yan Xiaobao was trapped underground for three whole months, during which great changes occurred in this realm. When Yan Xiaobao returned to his body, he was extremely weak and dizzy. Surveying his surroundings, he found all the spatial fissures in the sky had disappeared; all the lava had returned underground, and the air was no longer scorching but comfortable. The dense air of the World Power and the essence of heaven and earth had diminished. It now felt more like a place that could be inhabited.

Everywhere small branches could be seen in the red soil; this land had gained so much life force, Yan Xiaobao had almost left no life force for himself. That is why he immediately sat down to cultivate. He couldn't meditate and restore life force, as he could only restore it by harvesting from the dead, but he could rid himself of the weak feeling he was experiencing.

No one rushed him. They all waited for Yan Xiaobao to finish his cultivation, while they also took time to cultivate. Although the Ancestor's World Power and the essence of heaven and earth were diminishing, there was still sufficient time to cultivate them. It was still denser than other worlds such as the holy beast world.
