The powerful cultivation technique absorbs external Spiritual Qi and Power of Life, capturing, absorbing, and transforming them into one's True Qi.

The new True Qi is like a wandering dragon, flowing slowly, connecting to 720 starlights in sequence along a peculiar path.

Before reaching Innate, the speed of running the Star Gazing True Qi was very slow.

True Qi traversing through the 720 starlights for one cycle takes three to four hours.

After becoming Innate, all aspects improve, and running one cycle only takes one hour.

Now, limited by the realm, even with a continuous influx of Power of Life, the running speed does not change.

However, cultivation efficiency dramatically increases.

The Dantian's capacity and the total amount of True Qi are rapidly increasing.

External Skills can be practiced thousands of times a day, but the time for Inner Power cultivation is limited; generally, two to three cycles are the limit.

Beyond that, although there is still improvement, the effect is extremely negligible, and it's better to use the time to cultivate other techniques.

The Star Gazing True Qi slowly circulates.

Gradually, dewdrops appear on Zhou Leng's body, crystal clear.

True Qi condenses into dew.

This phenomenon is caused by the body absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi too quickly and too much.

Legend has it that this dew is Innate condensation, and ordinary people who drink it can become agile and strong, immune to all diseases.

Ancient Cultivators' so-called "feast on the wind and drink dew" didn't refer to ordinary grass dew but this kind of Innate True Qi condensed dew.

After finishing the Star Gazing Technique, he begins compressing True Qi.

The bell rings, signaling the end of the first shift of cultivation, and the Tree-men and those three people leave.

Zhou Leng walks in, sits under the Tree of Life, and cultivates the Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique.

After coming out, he continues to train by the railing.

After finishing Inner Power and Body Refinement, Zhou Leng walks to the Martial Arts Dojo and begins practicing the Void-Breaking Finger.

This is the first Finger Technique practiced, previously there was no foundation, so the cultivation speed is much slower than the Celestial Tide Palm.

To this day, it is still at the entry-level realm.

However, the Void-Breaking Finger Technique is most peculiar; it is a Finger Technique that also contains Swordsmanship; if one masters this Finger Technique, future cultivation of Swordsmanship will certainly yield twice the results with half the effort.

The battle with giant insects is imminent; whether it's hard shells or soft bodies, fists and palms are not infeasible for attack, but their consumption is too great.

The best approach is to first penetrate using Finger Technique, destroying their defensive structure before using fists and palms, making it more effective.

The Finger Technique's True Qi is highly concentrated, capable of cutting through everything and breaking all laws.

In the training ground, Zhou Leng continuously runs, his legs like shadows flitting among flowers, while the index and middle fingers of both hands press together, gathering Qi into double finger swords.

The True Qi is faintly white, extending three inches from the fingers, and sparkling slightly in the sunlight.

It slices through the air with a soft whooshing sound.

Not far away, many Innate Martial Artists are also focused on their own cultivation, devoting themselves wholeheartedly.

Human cultivation techniques are numerous and mostly public, but each person's knowledge and learning are limited, so they don't pay attention to Martial Arts they haven't seen before.

The training space for ordinary people is limited; everyone is accustomed from a young age to train in public Martial Arts Dojos.

Seizing the opportunity when encountering this big "fat sheep" that is the Tree of Life, Zhou Leng puts in all his effort to take advantage.

The entire day, except for meals, he relies on the Power of Life for continuous cultivation.

Once again, training from morning till evening.

Only focusing on the Void-Breaking Finger.

Thousands of times a day, yet he hasn't progressed the Void-Breaking Finger from entry-level to proficiency.

However, the Finger Sword Qi becomes more condensed, and its length increases from three inches to three and a half inches, showing significant progress.

Feeling the disparity between the Void-Breaking Finger and the Celestial Tide Palm in cultivation, Zhou Leng decides that when the Void-Breaking Finger reaches a bottleneck and progress slows, he will return to practicing the Basic Finger Technique.

Basic skills not only determine the lower limit but also the upper limit.

Zhou Leng finishes his practice, slowly exhales, and looks down at his fingers.

The tips of the two fingers on each hand are slightly red, like small red carrots, but feel excellent.

The skin on these four fingers becomes more resilient, and the internal blood vessels stronger.

With continued practice, these four fingers will soon penetrate stone and iron effortlessly.

"At this rate of practice, in the future, the index and middle fingers of both hands could very well be harder than ordinary weapons..."

Zhou Leng slowly walks outside, seeing Vigorous Root and several Tree-men approaching quickly, the green leaves on their heads gently swaying, filled with happiness.

Humans couldn't directly perceive the Tree-men's joy, but after obtaining the Qimeng Ancient Sound, Zhou Leng could sense it and smiled, saying, "What's making you so happy?"

"The Grand Elder's wooden head has finally opened up."

"Oh?" Zhou Leng wasn't sure whether to understand this from Tree-men or human culture.

"I applied for the title of Friend of the Tree People for you and a permanent tree-under cultivation quota. After detailed inquiries, the Grand Elder thinks you are a promising material, a Friend of the Tree People. Therefore, they specially assigned you a room in the Tree Root Cave and upgraded your permanent tree-under cultivation quota to Tree-men Co-Cultivation. You can now train with us during the first shift."

"Ah? Why?" The unexpected big package left Zhou Leng puzzled.

"We guessed it's partly because you saved us. Without you, several of us from the Vigorous Tribe would have perished on the youthful battlefield. Secondly, your mastery of Tree-man language is profound, and there are no more than three Alien Races who have achieved this. Lastly, perhaps they realized the might of the Giant Insect Race and decided to set an example of an ally to encourage others to support us as you did."

"It's mainly the last point, right? It came at just the right time for me."

"Quite possibly. Besides, even Zhao He can co-cultivate with the Tree-men, why can't you? You're much more useful than him. He consumed so many Martial Arts Resources and only dares to target weak giant insects, even needing a Grandmaster to protect him. That scene, truly shameless."

"You shouldn't say that carelessly."

"Don't worry, I won't speak recklessly outside."

"Was the scene really that embarrassing?" Zhou Leng asked curiously.

"I saw it with my own eyes, now Zhao He has become a joke in our Tree-men tribe. A dignified Great Innate, pinnacle beyond muscles, only dares to battle Bone Forger Innate giant insects."

"Truly a noble child who doesn't sit under the eaves." Zhou Leng said.

"In the Ten Realms War, there are no noble children, only warriors; there is no sitting, only fighting. Even for us Tree-men, who are not inclined to battle, it is clear to see. Some of you humans are too weak and pathetic."

"No matter about them, just do your best."

"Come on, I'll take you to handle the certification. The Grand Elder has finally done something good."

The Tree-men are about as tall as Giants, and Vigorous Root, standing over six meters high, chatted with Zhou Leng as they went to handle the certification.

First, obtain the "Friend of the Tree People" status and "Tree-men Co-cultivation Qualification," from now on, there are no restrictions on cultivation under the Tree of Life.

Afterwards, receive the "Tree Root Cave Residency Permit."

Holding the residency permit, Vigorous Root led Zhou Leng towards a towering palace.

Gray-white marble, solemn and majestic.

At the palace entrance, stood two War Ancient Trees and two teams of Tree-men guards.

They carefully checked Zhou Leng's residence permit and let him in.

The palace looked magnificent from the outside, but inside it was empty. In the vast palace, there was only a stairway leading downward.

Descending the wide underground passage, the group walked through the dim subterranean corridor towards the room.

The underground here was covered with fluorescent moss.

Thick walls were filled with the roots of the Tree of Life, some of which were protruding.

Zhou Leng took a breath, the Spiritual Qi and the life essence were so intense that it was almost overwhelming.

"Not bad, right?" Vigorous Root said proudly.

"Indeed, it's different. The Spiritual Qi is about 200 times the standard, right?"

In his mind, Zhou Leng thought it was almost comparable to the Frost Giant Tree.

Elder Tree was clearly much stronger than the Tree of Life, thinking this way, it felt Elder Tree was too stingy.

"In the future, after you finish your first shift of cultivation each day, come directly down to this room to cultivate, the effects are remarkable. Cultivating here mainly gradually and comprehensively enhances physique."

"Can it really?" Zhou Leng heard this for the first time.

"Every Tree of Life is nurtured from the Root of the Original Tree, equivalent to a part of the Tree God, naturally extraordinarily powerful. You'll find out when you visit the Tree of Life, even stronger in power."

"I know about the Tree of Life, it's extremely enormous, many Tree-men live within the trunk, branches, and exposed roots of the Tree of Life."

Vigorous Root snorted lightly and said, "The Giant Insect Race has always wanted to devour the Tree of Life, wishful thinking. However, we Tree-men have learned from you humans, to avoid putting all eggs in one basket, we've already stationed some Tree-men permanently in human, Demon Spirit Master, and dwarf worlds, you should know."

"I've heard. The Blue Star's Shennongjia has already established a four-race friendly base, besides your Tree-man Base, there are also dwarf and Demon Spirit Master bases."

Vigorous Root sighed and said, "After the Elf Empire's fall, it has greatly impacted us Tree-men. Such a powerful race, gone just like that. Hopefully our Tree-men can endure this Ten Realms War."

"Victory belongs to the Humanoid Alliance!"

"Victory belongs to the Humanoid Alliance!" a few Tree-men roared lowly in unison.

After Zhou Leng and the others left, a nearby room door opened.

Zhao He stepped out, glanced at the backs of those Tree-men and Zhou Leng.

After a few steps, he said, "Do you remember that True Liquid Innate who surpassed us a few days ago?"

"Seems somewhat familiar."

"He actually entered the Tree Root Cave, interesting."

"Hmm?" Two attendants finally looked towards Zhou Leng and the Tree-men, puzzled.

"Could it be he's just here for errands?"

Zhao He said, "Doesn't seem like it, speaking and laughing with the Tree-men. You know, Tree-men are more conservative than Demon Spirit Masters and dwarves, they barely acknowledge me. Ordinary people can't possibly be here, he must be a resident of the Tree Root Cave."

"Who is he? Martial Clan offspring frequent Xiongjing, we've seen them all. The great families aren't qualified to move in, great geniuses are well-known, ordinary talents aren't qualified either. Moreover, if someone with a background comes here, they'd definitely greet you directly or indirectly."

"Not too sure, that night was far away, this time I only saw their backs, even the voice seems unfamiliar, definitely not from the Martial Valve Race."

"I'll find an opportunity to inquire." said one attendant.

"It's good to make friends if possible, this person's temperament is very unique."

When Zhao He coincidentally met this individual previously in the Demon City, he felt that person's temperament was somewhat intriguing, and now, the closer proximity made him feel even clearer.

He turned back to look at the group disappearing around the corner, then walked outside.

Zhou Leng, Vigorous Root and the other Tree-men entered their own room.

A single room, over two hundred square meters, empty like a warehouse.

Because Tree-men are often seven or eight meters tall, this room is extremely high, a full ten meters.

Inside there is also a separate bathroom, fully equipped with toilet and shower, and even electricity.
