"Lei Yu, when did you achieve your breakthrough?" Yuan Ming's gaze lingered for a moment on the lightning mark on Lei Yu's forehead before he asked.

"Just now. The Beast Taming Rune inside me suddenly changed, transforming into a golden sunflower pattern. Then a thought was transmitted to me, causing the demonic power in my body to surge and successfully break through to the Upper Fifth Level in one fell swoop. Master, do you know what happened?" Lei Yu stopped near Yuan Ming and asked.

"Golden sunflower pattern... It's the Golden Sunflower Beast Taming Technique! This technique, when cultivated to the Perfect Realm, has such an effect that it can promote a spirit beast's breakthrough?" Yuan Ming did not answer Lei Yu, but inner waves of emotion surged fiercely.

Golden Sunflower Beast Taming Technique allows its master to borrow the divine skills of the spirit beast, which is already quite astounding. Now it seems it can even accelerate the spirit beast's cultivation. Isn't this divine skill a bit too powerful?

Not only the Golden Sunflower Beast Taming Technique, but the Circular Light Technique, Transplanting Technique, and the effects of the Six Jia Qimen are also astonishing.

Though he has been using these divine skills over the years, he has not excavated any one of them to its extreme.

"As for the origins of the Three Immortals Island, there are still many mysteries. It seems the origins of the Golden Sunflower Heavenly Book, the Lank Jade Book, and the Penglai Immortal Book are even greater than I anticipated..." Yuan Ming thought to himself.

He instructed Lei Yu to go aside to cultivate, while he sat down cross-legged again to begin cultivating the Golden Sunflower Beast Taming Technique, intending to calm his mind and appreciate this divine skill.

At this time, a unique sensation emerged in his heart, as golden light flickered within the Dantian's Undying Tree, revealing a cluster of golden sunflower patterns.

Yuan Ming was not surprised. Back then, to completely subdue the Undying Tree, he also used the Golden Sunflower Beast Taming Technique on it.

As he continued to operate this technique, he quickly discovered that through the Dao Seal of this divine skill, he could indeed connect his thoughts with the Undying Tree, somewhat similar to the effect of the Stealing Heaven Tripod's Black Incense Possession.

Yuan Ming steadied his mind and transmitted his insights about the Dharma manifestation Stage.

The Origin Power of the Undying Tree began to stir. Roots extended in all directions, piercing through the void and swiftly absorbing the nearby nature's spiritual energy.

Yuan Ming was astonished, then glanced outside the canyon and began to activate the Primordial Truth Formation with a hand seal.

Inside the great array, dazzling spirit light enveloped his body.

Outside the canyon, Wu Yu, Xuan Ye, and Nan Shangfeng could not see Yuan Ming's situation, as their Divine Senses were also isolated by the Primordial Truth Formation.

Within the Primordial Truth Formation, Yuan Ming operated the Ju Mang Spirit Technique, his figure trembling as he transformed into a black ancient tree.

The earth veins seemed to be aroused, and the canyon was once again filled with thick spirit fog, and nature's spiritual energy became incredibly rich.

The Undying Tree roots absorbed the spiritual energy with full force, and the Undying Tree Demon Power within the tree surged turbulently, undergoing a slight transformation.

The next moment, the branches and leaves of the Undying Tree began to light up with tiny white points, intermingling and illuminating with a hazy glow, making the entire tree appear somewhat dreamy and ethereal.

Not far away, Lei Yu was also enclosed within the Primordial Truth Formation, greedily absorbing the extremely rich spiritual energy in the array, eagerly enhancing his demonic power.

Yuan Ming, now transformed into the Undying Tree, paid no attention to Lei Yu, focusing entirely on his own transformation.

He could feel that as the abundant nature's spiritual energy poured into his body, the Undying Tree Demon Power grew rapidly, seemingly about to break through to Level 6 soon.

And at this moment, he already understood that the opportunity for the Undying Tree's breakthrough was not solely due to the Golden Sunflower Beast Taming Technique; the bark of the World Tree was also playing a role.

As it gradually strengthened, the bark of the World Tree also yearned for continued growth, accelerating the Undying Tree's breakthrough.

Yuan Ming continued to operate the Golden Sunflower Beast Taming Technique, transmitting his insights about the Dharma Phase as he fully absorbed the rich spiritual energy in the array, infusing it into the Undying Tree.

After a day and night.

The Undying Tree Demon Power surged and finally broke through its bounds, reaching Level 6.

The Power of Dao descended accordingly, although the Undying Tree, unlike Yuan Ming, had not cultivated numerous divine skills, so the resulting power was not much and soon ceased.

Dense black demon energy surged out of the Undying Tree, and its body quickly grew larger, soon pressing against the light screen of the Primordial Truth Formation.

The Undying Tree crown did not pause, continuing to grow upward.

With a "bang," the Undying Tree pierced through the array's light screen, continuing to grow, and soon turned into a towering giant tree, taller than the peaks on either side of the canyon.

The dense canopy spread out visibly in all directions, quickly covering a vast area near the canyon.

Outside the canyon, Nan Shangfeng, Xuan Ye, and Wu Yu were taken aback upon witnessing this scene.

"What is this? Could it be the work of Fellow Daoist Wan?" Nan Shangfeng murmured to himself.

Xuan Ye and Wu Yu remained silent, watching the vast spreading tree before them.

...

Meanwhile, Yuan Ming naturally couldn't be bothered by the exposure of the Undying Tree's actions; instead, he focused inwardly to sense its changes.

After breaking through Level 6, the resilience of the Undying Tree has undeniably reached new heights, matching that of ordinary Spiritual Treasures.

As for its regeneration capability, it has similarly improved from its original state, reaching an incredible extent.

Nowadays, no matter what attacks the Undying Tree suffers — even if burned to charcoal or smashed to bits — it cannot be completely destroyed. As long as enough Spiritual Power is supplied, the Undying Tree can rapidly heal.

Yuan Ming found it hard to believe, and he raised the Exterminating Immortal Sword, channeling Dharma Phase Stage Mana into it.

The Exterminating Immortal Sword emitted a clear sword hum akin to a dragon's roar, and a thick stream of Immortal Slaying Sword Qi shot forth, instantly pulverizing one trunk of the Undying Tree into particles smaller than wood chips.

Wisps of Undying Tree Demon Power emerged from those particles, gathering towards one spot, quickly growing and stitching themselves together.

In just a couple of breaths, a brand new trunk took shape, suspended in mid-air.

This trunk was lush and vibrant, indistinguishable from the one previously part of the Undying Tree, though it consumed a considerable amount of demon power.

Yuan Ming nodded slightly but did not stop. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a small purple-black banner.

With a gentle flick of his fingers at the banner, it suddenly expanded to roughly ten feet in size, its surface emitting rings of undulating purple-black light, as if there were living creatures roaming its fabric, exuding astonishing Spiritual Energy.

This item was a Magic Treasure refined from the Poisonous Sack of the Sea Jelly Demon Beast. Although it hadn't reached the level of a Spiritual Treasure, it inherited over eighty percent of the Sea Jelly Demon Beast's poison.

"Whoosh"

A burst of purple-black light shot from the banner, wrapping around the trunk of the Undying Tree.

A "sizzle" of corrosion sounded, and all the leaves and smaller branches decayed rapidly. The once lush trunk left only a rotted main trunk with pits and hollows, devoid of vitality, and its inner demon power completely dissolved.

Yuan Ming cultivated, gathering nature's spiritual energy from nearby to infuse it.

The decayed trunk quickly regained vitality, sprouting branches, which then grew leaves.

Before long, a flourishing branch appeared once more.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming couldn't help but marvel, finally convinced of the tree's indomitable life force, worthy of the name "Undying."

Joy surged in his heart; unlike cultivators, the Undying Tree had no vulnerable spots like a Dantian or head. Now with its tenacious vitality and formidable regeneration capability, it feared no adversaries.

Even facing two or three Dharma Phase Cultivators in siege, the worst for the Undying Tree would just be rapid demon power consumption, easily manageable.

Moreover, with the powerful absorption ability of the Undying Tree Roots, demonic power can be swiftly restored. Prolonged battles aren't something ordinary same-level cultivators can match; careful maneuvering could potentially wear out two or three Dharma Phase Cultivators.

"With my current Divine Skills, facing Level 6 Undying Tree, victory seems uncertain," Yuan Ming pondered, assessing himself and the Undying Tree.

Of course, the Undying Tree isn't without weaknesses; its Divine Soul remains.

However, its Undying Tree Demon Qi can devour Divine Soul attacks, making Divine Soul extermination attempts futile for even Dharma Phase Cultivators or Life Witches.

Besides its regeneration ability, the Void-piercing capability of the Undying Tree Roots greatly enhances.

The Undying Tree has now morphed into a towering giant, its roots unknowingly extending deeply underground. Yuan Ming, with a thought, controlled the roots to probe further below, employing its Void-piercing ability.

Tree root tendrils pierced the Void, reaching previously unreachable strata, discovering a place of intense spiritual flow.

"Could this be... the touch of underground Spirit Vein?" Yuan Ming, observing the situation, paused slightly.

Central Continent differs from Yunhuang Continent, Dongji Sea islands, and other places; the Earth's crust is over ten times thicker, with Spirit Veins buried deep. Unless pre-arranged Arrays guide spiritual power, even Dharma Phase Cultivators cannot casually access them. Yet the Undying Tree Roots could touch them!

While Yuan Ming stood in thought, the Undying Tree Roots began autonomously withdrawing spiritual energy from the underground Spirit Vein.

Pure earth vein spiritual power was quickly extracted, flowing "gurgling" down the roots, pouring into the tree trunk.

Yuan Ming sensed this scene, delighted, intensified the extraction by the Undying Tree Roots, and diverted a portion of the spiritual power to himself.

The underground vein's spiritual power, exceptionally pure, aided both him and the Undying Tree in stabilizing their realms.

Not only was the Void-piercing ability of the Undying Tree Roots greatly increased, but their absorption capability also improved significantly, rapidly depleting the abundant spiritual power within the underground Spirit Vein.

Fortunately, underground Spirit Veins interconnected, causing spiritual power from other areas to converge.

Yuan Ming paid no mind to these developments, continuing to stabilize his realm.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and Yuan Ming's cultivation realm stabilized completely, as did the Undying Tree.

"To cultivate directly by drawing from underground Spirit Vein's power is unexpectedly beneficial! If a suitable vein site is found in the future, employing this method would obviate any need for elixirs, accelerating cultivation progress," Yuan Ming secretly thought.
