Wizard: Starting from the Skill Tree-Chapter 460: Constructing a Cycle

Duke gazed at the seed enveloped in a faint green light cocoon at the center of the spring eye, its subtle pulse giving the impression of a burgeoning World Tree destined to uphold the heavens and link myriad realms.

Yet, he also sensed a few issues; this newly formed spring eye was brimming with energy but remained relatively isolated, lacking any connection to the existent water cycle system of the Light God Court, which, though small, had naturally taken shape.

Currently, within the Light God Court, there were already a few meandering streams and several clear lakes, all of which had naturally formed during its growth process.

This place represented an incomplete Plane prototype, and natural phenomena such as wind, rain, thunder, and lightning were present, with a water cycle system established in nature.

The Spring of Life’s waters lacked genuine circulation and renewal, which, over time, would hinder the dissemination of Life Energy and might limit its nourishing effect on the entire space.

"I need to connect this spring eye to the original water veins of the Light God Court, transforming a solitary spring into a source of life."

With a thought, Duke once again perceived the situation within the Light God Court.

He carefully sensed the flow of those naturally formed streams and the locations of lakes, quickly selecting a stream nearest to the spring eye with relatively abundant water.

Suspended between the spring eye and the selected stream, Duke’s Spiritual Power acted like the finest carving knife, beginning work on the earth.

The High-level Earth Element Affinity Talent Ability, combined with his mastery of the Light God Court, allowed him to easily undertake these terrain-altering tasks.

With a deep rumble, a new and narrow but exquisite canal was opened up, connecting one end to the overflow of the Spring of Life and the other slowly extending to perfectly join with the upstream riverbed of the natural stream.

The clear stream water, upon merging with even the tiniest amount of spring water brimming with vitality, seemed suddenly endowed with sentience, becoming more crystal-clear with a barely discernible green aura shimmering on its surface.

Where the stream passed, the grasses on its banks visibly turned lusher and more vibrant, with ordinary flowers seeming to evolve, their petals more resplendent and emitting a faint fluorescence.

This vitality-infused stream eventually joined a small lake downstream.

Subtly, the quality of the lake’s water was transforming, becoming more vibrant.

As the lake’s moisture evaporated and ascended, future rainfall would carry a weak essence of life, silently nourishing every inch of the Light God Court’s land.

Meanwhile, the Spring of Life itself, having an outlet, was no longer stagnant.

The continuous influx of new waters, transformed by the World Tree Seed within, partially nourished the seed and partially flowed into the natural water cycle, establishing a grand and beneficial system of circulation.

Duke witnessed it all; the spring eye, the seed, the stream, the lake, and even the prospective rainfall had now become truly interconnected as a whole.

The World Tree Seed could absorb not just the life energy from the spring eye core but also benefit from the vitality and feedback provided by the entire divine court’s water circulation system.

Concurrently, the entire Light God Court would reap benefits, with all vegetation and creatures receiving the nurturing effect of Life Energy and undergoing subtle transformations over the long future due to the Spring of Life’s influence.

Duke could perceive the enhanced vivacity and dynamism pervading the Light God Court, integrating the expansive endeavor of cultivating the World Tree seamlessly into his world.

He hadn’t anticipated the World Tree Seed to react in such a miraculous manner with the Spring of Life, with the two complementing and enhancing each other.

Moreover, the Power of Faith from the Light God Court was infused as well, with these waters containing Power of Faith, Light Attribute Energy, Life Energy, and various other attributes.

These waters would continuously cycle throughout the Light God Court, continuously nourishing all beings here, leaving the future changes to unfold in mystery.

After accomplishing these tasks, Duke spent an additional half month immersed within the Light God Court to observe closely whether this circulation system functioned correctly.

If any issues arose, adjustments were imperative.

He recorded copious amounts of data daily, consistently observing the conditions of the Spring of Life and World Tree Seed.

After some time of thorough observation, Duke discovered that everything was operating smoothly, with the World Tree Seed visibly showing signs of revival.

Now, all that remained was patiently awaiting the moment of the World Tree Seed’s awakening, at which point potentially new changes might ensue.

The Light God Court itself was a Plane prototype, practically growing in tandem with the World Tree Seed.

With the matters within the Light God Court arranged, Duke could temporarily set his mind at ease, shifting focus toward his personal cultivation.

Immersing his mind, he directed attention to the Skill Tree within his mind, glancing at the present attribute panel.

[Constitution: 22.3]

[Strength: 23.2]

[Agility: 21.6]

[Spirit: 126.6]

[Free attribute points: 2]

Although the Crimson Moon Meditation Technique never halted over the months spent on the Devourer Plane, he didn’t have much time for proficiency grinding.

Duke would occasionally consume a White Mist Forest Potion, with the Meditation Technique continuously operating automatically, thus Spiritual Power increased slowly.

The rate of improvement was extraordinarily slow; over eight months, it only increased by four points.

This was actually the typical cultivation pace for ordinary Wizards, with Spiritual Power growth becoming increasingly difficult as one progressed.

Some reach their innate talent limitation, and growth ceases, with potential declines accompanying age, both conceivable outcomes.

Only certain extraordinary treasures directly enhancing Spiritual Power could break through one’s limitations.

Some specially concocted magic potions could achieve similar effects.

Yet, magic potions and extraordinary treasures alike usually have limits on intake frequency, often only effective once or twice, necessitating the search for different kinds of items afterward.

Larger Wizard Clans frequently employ such means to nurture their offspring, accelerating their growth. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Even Vivian had consumed several unique fruits secured by Grace from Other Planes.

While Duke was in the Devourer Plane, those seventh cohort members hailing from Wizard Clans had largely enjoyed such privileges.

Still, risks lurked within, as strength not acquired through personal cultivation could prove superficial, requiring efforts to solidify it.
