Chapter 594 - 601: Transplanting the Bodhi Tree

Chaos Qi is the primordial energy from which a world is born, containing an immense wealth of power.

’If it can grow in the Chaos Qi, it might truly have a chance at Divinity Transformation and ascension to immortality.’

The chubby toddler’s adorable brow furrowed, its fleshy face wrinkling up. The sight made Song Wanning laugh.

She wasn’t in a hurry and waited with leisurely patience.

Her little companions, however, were thrilled. They felt their band of little brothers was growing, and none of them wanted to be the youngest.

After about ten minutes, the chubby toddler finally began to yield.

It hesitantly somersaulted down from the treetop. When it got near, it backed away a few steps, then moved forward again, inching closer and closer to Song Wanning.

In the end, the temptation was too great. The Bodhi Tree was swayed.

Wringing its little hands, it hopped in front of Song Wanning.

The moment the chubby toddler pounced, Song Wanning’s Sea of Consciousness felt as if it were caressed by a gentle, exceptionally pleasant breeze.

She crouched down, extending a hand toward the chubby toddler.

The little one backed away fearfully and bit its finger. After a moment of hesitation, it stepped into Song Wanning’s palm.

Song Wanning stood up, her eyes filled with gentle affection as she gazed at the chubby toddler.

The sweet, milky little thing, with eyes as large as grapes, melted her heart.

"Don’t be afraid," she said. "I’ll send you inside for a look. If you want to come out, just let me know."

With that, Song Wanning sent the chubby toddler into her inner world.

The chubby toddler had been extremely tense, its little body rigid with nervousness. But upon entering the inner world, it first froze in astonishment, then shot off toward the Chaos Qi as if it had discovered an incredible treasure.

The Chaos Qi in her inner world was indeed dissipating little by little, but since the world was newly formed, it would take a very long time for it to vanish completely.

So, there was no problem at all if the Bodhi Tree wanted to cultivate here.

It began to run and leap about wildly in the inner world, looking absolutely ecstatic.

The Unlucky Ghost cowered in a corner, terrified by the Bodhi Tree’s aura.

Fortunately, the inner world was vast, so he wasn’t worried about finding a place to hide.

"Well, little one? I didn’t lie to you, did I?"

Song Wanning sent her Divine Sense into her inner world. Watching the chubby toddler leap about, the smile on her lips grew wider.

’I was just worrying about where to move the Bodhi Tree,’ she thought. ’Now it seems there’s no place more suitable than my inner world.’

Hearing her voice, the excited toddler was startled and flinched away before looking up at Song Wanning, its eyes filled with longing.

It loved this place. It loved it very much.

"How about we move your main body in here, then?"

Song Wanning asked in a soft, gentle voice, as if coaxing a child.

The little one was incredibly timid; the slightest disturbance would startle it.

’So pitiful, yet so adorable.’

The chubby toddler nodded. Before Song Wanning could even act, the Bodhi Tree outside was instantly ripped from the ground, roots and all.

The sudden commotion startled even Song Wanning.

The Bodhi Tree’s root system was incredibly aggressive, extending for several miles in every direction.

As it was uprooted, the surrounding ground was torn apart. With a tremendous roar, the earth shook as if from a violent earthquake.

Nearby birds and beasts shrieked in terror, frantically scattering in all directions.

BOOM—

A massive cloud of dust billowed into the sky.

Song Wanning hurriedly ascended into the air. Gazing at the Bodhi Tree below from a distance, she was utterly stunned.

In the distance, Wu Qingfeng was also startled by the commotion and quickly flew into the air.

He then saw a massive tree with an impossibly vast root system soaring into the sky, blotting out the sun and plunging the surroundings into darkness.

"The Bodhi Tree?"

Wu Qingfeng was first shocked, then overjoyed.

’The Bodhi Tree is finally found! I thought I was a dead man for sure.’

A broad smile spread across Wu Qingfeng’s face.

Reflecting on the past decade, he never imagined his life would change so drastically.

From a high and mighty elder of the Medicine King Sect to a Loose Cultivator who had to watch his every move...

But being free from Mu Zixu’s control brought him a sense of relief and liberation.

"Sigh!"

Wu Qingfeng sighed and flew toward the Bodhi Tree.

As he drew near, he saw Song Wanning’s figure, just as he’d expected.

’Only someone like her could cause such a massive disturbance.’

He was just about to speak when the Bodhi Tree abruptly vanished.

He froze, his eyes widening in utter shock.

’If I saw that correctly, the Bodhi Tree seemed to fly right at Song Wanning, and then it just... disappeared!’

’Does that mean Song Wanning used some technique to take the entire Bodhi Tree?’

*HISS*—

Wu Qingfeng sucked in a sharp breath. ’Mu Zixu was always trying to figure out how to take the Bodhi Tree with him when he ascended.’

’But according to him, it was supposed to be incredibly difficult.’

’And yet, in reality, the Bodhi Tree just... vanished.’

Wu Qingfeng swallowed hard, his gaze toward Song Wanning growing even more fearful.

’Losing to her was no injustice at all.’

’I must have been a complete fool to have ever dared to oppose her...’

"You’re here."

Song Wanning glanced back at Wu Qingfeng, her expression indifferent.

It was a casual glance, but it set off alarm bells in Wu Qingfeng’s mind, making the hair on his body stand on end.

He quickly forced a smile. "Yes, Senior Song! I just got here. I didn’t see a thing!!!"

He was genuinely afraid Song Wanning might kill him to keep him quiet!

"Heh heh..."

Song Wanning chuckled. Seeing how nervous Wu Qingfeng was, the curve of her lips became more pronounced.

She glanced around, spotted some Medicinal Herbs, and pointed.

"These Medicinal Herbs here seem to be of good quality."

"I’ll go gather them!"

Wu Qingfeng immediately volunteered. With a WHOOSH, he flew over and began to diligently gather the herbs.

Pleased by this, Song Wanning once again sent her Divine Sense into her inner world. She saw that the Bodhi Tree had already found a spot and settled in.

Its roots burrowed deep into the ground, expanding rapidly until it was firmly planted in the center of the Chaos Qi.

The chubby toddler was lying on the treetop. When it saw Song Wanning looking, it timidly peeked its head out at her before quickly retracting it and disappearing from view.

Song Wanning shook her head and chuckled at the sight. ’The little thing is still scared of me!’

"Big Sister, why isn’t it coming out to play?"

The Dragon Spirit hopped on Song Wanning’s shoulder, asking with some disappointment.

All the little companions were waiting to play with the chubby toddler, but it had vanished completely.

Song Wanning smiled and patted their heads. "The little one is shy, and it needs to cultivate. I don’t think it will come out to play very often."

"You all go and play by yourselves."

After a few more words, she sent the little companions on their way.

Her retinue was growing more lively by the day. Her little companions were overjoyed, and boredom was never a concern.

As for her, these companions brought a spark of life to her otherwise tranquil days.
