Chapter 885: Divine Refining Life Art



"The two matters cannot be weighed equally, Lord Vaan," Elder Willowthorn argued, saying, "You have acquired Goddess Thyia's inheritance, making you her successor. By right, you are qualified to lead our tribe."

"You didn't need to share the secrets of the Profound Pearl of Life with us, yet you still chose to do so. The weight of this trust and kindness to us means far greater than you can imagine, my Lord."

"This Old Thing has only helped you out a bit while you have given our whole tribe a prospective future with limitless potential! It only makes sense for us to offer you our wholehearted devotion," Elder Willowthorn said solemnly.

The most difficult challenge in Chaos was to upgrade one's level of existence. It may not be obvious at the lower ranks, but it was blindingly clear at higher ranks.

However, the Profound Pearl of Life was capable of removing the talent limit on all Wood Spirits, giving every one of them the potential to grow to the True Spirit God level.

Of course, Elder Willowthorn's small gift of his wood essence was insignificant in comparison.

"Then, I will accept your allegiance, Senior," Vaan nodded.

"Please just call me Old Willow or Willowthorn in the future, my Lord."

"I'll keep it in mind."

Shortly after, Elder Willowthorn gathered all the Wood Spirits in front of Vaan. Their numbers weren't great, only amounting to a hundred Wood Spirits.

Moreover, they were all at least Divine-rank Wood Spirits.

Nevertheless, Vaan took his time sending them into the Profound Pearl of Life and observing their compatibility with the new environment.

Without any surprise, it was quite chaotic due to their lack of ability to adapt to the zero- gravity space. Panic and silent cries spread through the group as Wood Spirits helplessly floated through the white void.

Fortunately, the Divine Knight-level Wood Spirits quickly adapted and brought the whole group under stable control.

Even so, it was clear that a majority of the Wood Spirits' lifestyle would be impacted unless they recreated the familiar environment on land. Simply moving the rest of the Garden of Thyia over wasn't enough.

After all, it wouldn't retain its world's gravity after being moved elsewhere.

Nevertheless, Vaan didn't doubt a Divine Lord like Elder Willowthorn would have trouble resolving this issue.

Even if Elder Willowthorn was incapable of using the life energy to create a completely new planet, a pseudo-planet using the Garden of Thyia as the foundation should still be possible. Artificial gravity could be created through the centrifugal force of rotation.

After Vaan taught Elder Willowthorn about the theory, he expended all his effort to move the rest of the Garden of Thyia inside the Profound Pearl of Life.

Throughout the ordeal, only one person was unhappy with the arrangement.

Valefor did not like to share his space with the Wood Spirits despite its extreme vastness. He had already deemed everything as part of his territory.

Nevertheless, Valefor was only Vaan's simulated alter ego. Thus, Vaan had complete control of his behavior. It only took a single thought to suppress Valefor's urge to cause trouble.

That said, Valefor still glared at the Wood Spirits from a distance.

When Elder Willowthorn entered the Profound Pearl of Life, he couldn't help but feel alarmed by Valefor's existence and malevolent aura.

He was under the impression that Valefor was even stronger than him despite being a rank weaker in cultivation.

"What are you looking at?" Valefor grumbled hostilely.

Elder Willowthorn opened his mouth but failed to speak. He had a lot of doubts and questions, but he didn't think he could have a reasonable discussion with the person.

'Is this Lord Vaan or a beast?' Elder Willowthorn silently wondered.

"Want to die?" Valefor's vicious gaze intensified.

"N-no, thank you..."

Meanwhile, after the entire Garden of Thyia disappeared inside the Profound Pearl of Life, an enormous void was left in the subterranean region.

Fortunately, the ceiling didn't collapse due to its absence.

Vaan didn't forget to collect all the soil containing the Divine Tree of Life's essence on his way back to the moon base.

Although Vaan was severely exhausted from transferring such a large secret realm into the Profound Pearl of Life, a smile hung on his weary face.

He was ultimately satisfied with his gains.

While Elder Willowthorn's Wood Spirit Tribe was quite small in numbers, its population was bound to quickly increase now that it had moved inside the Profound Pearl of Life.

Nevertheless, it didn't take long before Vaan received more surprises.

"My Lord, there's something you should see here," Elder Willowthorn suddenly called out to Vaan.

"Hm?"

Vaan took a look at the situation inside the Profound Pearl of Life through Valefor's eyes and immediately noticed what was going on.

The dead Divine Tree of Life was undergoing changes after receiving the baptism of endless life energy from the Profound Pearl of Life.

Although the Divine Tree of Life didn't come back to life, its dead bark was shedding as brilliant white light shot out through the cracks on the tree's surface. As more light shone through the cracks, they formed lines and connected into recognizable characters.

Before long, a wall of text appeared on the surface of the giant tree. Above it was a single title - Divine Refining Life Art.

Evidently, the wall of text contained detailed instructions for cultivating the divine refining of life art.

After Vaan gave it a quick read, he learned that the Divine Refining Life Art was a cultivation method that involved harnessing, utilizing, and reproducing life energy.

Cultivating the Divine Refining Life Art had various benefits.

The Divine Refining Life Art granted insights into the Life Law and allowed the user to powerful healing arts. It was ultimately a top-tier cultivation method for healers.

However, it had one major drawback-its healing skills consumed the user's life energy. In exchange, the healing spell was said to be able to treat any wound or illness.

Its potency was only limited by the amount of life energy consumed.

While it was a self-sacrificing skill that few would choose to learn, the Profound Pearl of Life provided all the life energy one needed and was fully capable of negating its drawbacks.

Such an amazing divine art supplemented the Wood Spirits.

'To think that there was such a divine art hidden in the divine tree...' Vaan mused

thoughtfully.

If he hadn't chosen to move the Garden of Thyia into the Profound Pearl of Life, the Divine Refining Life Art would never have been known.
