Chapter 1046: An Opportunity For The Plant Elders

TL: GoldenLung

Over a hundred! These were over a hundred ten-thousand-year-old plant-type soul beasts, each possessing energy at least at the level of a Title Douluo. They were the foundation of the Academy—one could even say they were the very core of the School of Life.

“Little Wang, let it finish speaking.” At that moment, an aged voice rang out. With a flash of green light, another figure appeared beside Wang Tianyu—it was the current leader of the School of Life, Elder Shu.

“Elder Shu.” Upon seeing him, Lan Xuanyu and his six companions quickly bowed in respect.

Elder Shu nodded with a smile and turned to the Treasure Seeking Beast. “Master Bao, please continue.”

Although Wang Tianyu still frowned deeply, since even Elder Shu—the head of the School of Life—allowed the Treasure Seeking Beast to go on, he had no grounds to object. After all, if those plant-type powerhouses were taken away, the School of Life would suffer the greatest loss.

The Treasure Seeking Beast said, “To evolve into god-level beings, they need a tremendous amount of life energy. Where they absorb this energy from is crucial. And right now, there’s a suitable place that can support their evolution.”

Lan Xuanyu’s heart stirred. “You’re talking about the Celestial Dragon Planet?”

The Treasure Seeking Beast nodded. “Exactly. Although Celestial Dragon Planet lacks divine-grade immortal aura, its life energy is extremely rich. In fact, it’s continuously evolving. Give it a few hundred thousand more years, and it might really evolve to a divine level. Once immortal aura appears, it's entirely possible. The amount of god-level beings it can support far exceeds that of the Mother Star. You don’t yet have the strength to find the Life Essence of Celestial Dragon Planet, but we can still extract some life energy from it this way and even bring it back to supply Douluo Star.”

At this point, Wang Tianyu had calmed down and now looked surprised.

Lan Xuanyu asked, “You mean letting these seniors use their bodies as vessels to transport life energy back?”

The Treasure Seeking Beast nodded. “Exactly. Since they haven’t reached the god level, they lack divine characteristics and won’t easily be detected. Absorbing life energy alone is quite common on Celestial Dragon Planet. As long as they spread out and don’t group together too much, there should be no problem. God-level plant-type soul beasts can’t go—they’re too distinct and would be noticed. Here, under the Eternal Tree, they have to restrain themselves to avoid drawing too much life energy. But there, they have no such limitations. Their bodies are massive reservoirs of life energy, so they can be filled to the brim and return. This pure life energy is also highly nourishing for the Eternal Tree, helping to elevate Douluo Star’s life level. Think of it like leeches going to suck blood, then returning to nourish the Eternal Tree. Each trip might not bring back much, but over time, it adds up. During the process, they can also cultivate and evolve until they reach god level—at which point they can’t go anymore.”

Lan Xuanyu looked at the Treasure Seeking Beast and communicated mentally: “What if these plant soul beasts don’t want to come back? After all, it’s a place more suited to them.”

“They won’t, Master,” the Treasure Seeking Beast replied with a mysterious smile. “Haven’t you noticed? They also called you ‘Master.’ I’ve already told them about your identity. In the future, you’re the one destined to create a Divine Realm—what place could be more attractive than that? Besides, they need my help to break through to the god level. I can condense their life energy into immortal aura, making their breakthrough smooth and successful. And this process can happen here, not there. Once they become god-level, they can’t return to Celestial Dragon Planet anyway. So, from every perspective, they’ll remain loyal to you.”

Lan Xuanyu understood. “But there’s one more issue. We came here to select heavenly and earthly treasures to aid our cultivation. What about my companions?”

The Treasure Seeking Beast replied, “That won’t be affected. They just won’t sign contracts anymore. It takes time for the soul beasts to convert absorbed life energy into their own energy, but they can purify it at any time—purify it to a level close to the life energy in the former Lake of Life. I’ll have them provide this purified energy to you and your companions for cultivation. With over a hundred of them, even just a few drops per person per month adds up—it’s more than enough. This will directly enhance your life level, and it’s better than contracting with them. On Douluo Star, this isn’t possible because Shrek Academy wouldn’t allow it. But on Celestial Dragon Planet, it’s their energy—use it however you want.”

Lan Xuanyu asked, “Are you sure they won’t be in danger over there?”

The Treasure Seeking Beast answered, “Celestial Dragon Planet is huge, and they’re not weak. In groups of three to five, hiding deep in the forests, it’s very unlikely they’ll run into god-level beings. Plus, they can communicate and support each other. Unless they reach god level, it’s hard to detect them. They all know how to conceal their presence, or they wouldn’t have made it this far.”

Lan Xuanyu nodded slightly. These later conversations were telepathic, so the plant-type powerhouses present didn’t hear them.

Elder Jin, somewhat anxious, said, “Master, please take us. Here, we may never break through to god level, and without it, we risk aging and death. We’re willing to transport life energy for the Eternal Tree and serve you.”

Lan Xuanyu turned to Wang Tianyu. “Pavilion Master Wang, do you think this needs to be reported to the Pavilion?”

Wang Tianyu looked at Elder Shu, who nodded. “In theory, it’s feasible. I think it’s worth trying. If successful, it will benefit the Eternal Tree immensely—and our Academy as well. The Inner Court could build more Eternal Tree houses, allowing more students to train within. For the Academy, this is a major opportunity. Besides, our cooperation with Senluo Planet also requires life energy support. One major challenge in building Eternal Tree houses is the lack of life energy. Let’s go—let’s request a Sea God Pavilion meeting to discuss this.”

Wang Tianyu nodded, his gaze turning strange as he looked at Lan Xuanyu. He realized that nothing was ever normal when this kid was around.

If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t beat the kid’s dad, he’d really want to rough him up a bit to vent.

Wang Tianyu said to Lan Xuanyu, “That’ll be all for today. For now, stay and cultivate in the Academy. We’ll discuss this and give you an answer soon.”

“Let them cultivate here—we can assist them,” Elder Jin quickly added.

Wang Tianyu’s mouth twitched. Not everyone gets to train in the Immortal Spirit Realm. Redeeming a session here costs a hefty amount of Shrek badges.

Elder Shu smiled, “Alright, let them train here. Thank you, everyone.”

Elder Jin grinned, “No trouble at all. For us, this is a rare opportunity. Little Shu, make sure to speak well on our behalf to the Pavilion.”

Though Elder Shu was over a thousand years old, he still seemed young compared to Elder Jin.

Lan Xuanyu said, “Then I’ll go to Sea God Pavilion to train with Uncle Le.”

Wang Tianyu said, “You’re coming with us. You’ll definitely be attending this meeting. If it passes, we’ll need to make detailed plans.”
