The Infant Whose Heart, Bones, and Eye Were Taken:Cultivating into a Demon

Chapter 36 – Fusang Divine Tree Spirit Stones

Although Fairy Li Jiang was already dead, Fang Ling could still sense a certain fire source within her body.

He didn't rush to expel that fire source but instead summoned his Life-Bound Blood Sword.

A strong practitioner like Fairy Li Jiang was the best nourishment.

The Blood Sword greedily absorbed the blood fiend energy, and Fang Ling also raised his hand to absorb her life essence.

After a while, the voluptuous beauty's body turned into a skeleton.

Above the skeleton, a golden seed the size of a fingernail floated.

This golden seed was the fire source he had sensed.

With a wave of his hand, he drew the golden fire seed into his palm.

Before he could examine it closely, the golden fire seed suddenly merged into his palm and drilled into his body.

A surge of scorching heat erupted instantly, making him feel as if he were about to be burned alive.

His blood boiled, not just metaphorically, but literally, like boiling water.

This sensation of being burned alive made it hard for him to remain calm, contorting his face in pain.

Fortunately, the agony didn't last long and soon subsided.

The golden fire seed took root in his dantian, sprouting two leaves.

This mystical flame seedling released a series of messages, communicating with his soul.

Fang Ling finally understood its origin; it was the seed of the Divine Fusang Tree!

The Divine Fusang Tree was well-known, an ancient divine tree that nurtured the Golden Crow race.

The Golden Crow race was the supreme demon race with imperial bloodlines, and the Golden Crow's fire was said to burn everything.

A divine tree capable of nurturing such a race was undoubtedly extraordinary.

But unfortunately, the Fusang Tree withered shortly after nurturing the Golden Crow race.

Since then, no new Fusang Tree had been known to grow in the world.

Fang Ling never expected to be fortunate enough to obtain the tree seed, and it had even taken root and sprouted in his dantian.

He flipped his palm, conjuring a flame in his hand.

The golden flame in his hand was more powerful than it had been in Fairy Li Jiang's hands.

The intense heat seemed to melt the very space around it.

When the Fusang tree seed was in Fairy Li Jiang's body, it hadn't taken root and sprouted, remaining in seed form.

So, she could only utilize the fire seed's power, but Fang Ling was now using the flame of the Fusang seedling, making a world of difference.

"This Fairy Li Jiang must have been a notable figure to possess the Fusang tree seed."

"But this flame shouldn't be used lightly; if the Golden Crow race discovers it, they will undoubtedly mobilize their entire clan to seize it."

The Golden Crow race had been passed down since ancient times and had not been extinguished. He had read about them in the miscellaneous books in the Humble Hut.

However, the Golden Crow race resided in the Central Divine Region, thousands of miles away from the Southern Dipper Region, so there was no immediate concern.

After obtaining the Fusang seedling, Fang Ling lost much of his interest in the treasures at the end of Wind Stone Gorge.

No matter how precious the treasures in Wind Stone Gorge were, they couldn't compare to the Fusang seedling.

But no one would complain about having too many treasures, so he took a deep breath and continued deeper into the gorge.

...

He continued through Wind Stone Gorge for another quarter of an hour.

But in that quarter of an hour, he didn't advance very far.

The deeper he went, the stronger the black gale became, and even his physical body struggled to withstand it.

At every moment, he felt as if blades were scraping his bones, and his skin constantly cycled between regeneration and destruction.

"If I go any further, even my body might not hold up."

"Perhaps I should wait until my body is stronger before exploring further..."

Fang Ling weighed his options and decided to withdraw from Wind Stone Gorge for now, planning to return when his body was more resilient.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, a sudden flash of light pierced his eyes.

After some

"Mr. Mo makes a valid point," Fang Ling nodded. "Mr. Mo, you will select these 800 people and prepare to head south with me."

"But before we set out, I think it's necessary to meet someone."

"The Sect Master wants to see Emperor Shao, right?" Mr. Mo asked.

"Exactly!" Fang Ling planned to visit the palace to warn the ruler of the South Sun Kingdom, preventing her from causing trouble in the future.

"Emperor Shao ascended the throne at a young age and is a woman, but she is very capable," Mr. Mo said.

"The Nanyang royal family has been revitalized under her rule in recent years."

"Therefore, Emperor Shao is quite proud and may clash with the Sect Master."

"Although the Sect Master's strength is more than enough to kill her, it must not be done!"

"While Nanyang is a small country, it is under the jurisdiction of the Great Qian Dynasty."

"She is the Empress of Nanyang, which means she is also part of the Great Qian Dynasty."

"Harming her would be an affront to the Great Qian Dynasty."

"The Great Qian Dynasty is a first-rate power in the Southern Dipper Region, with countless experts."

"Even though the Sect Master has an extraordinary background, they may not be deterred."

"Even if the Sect Master is fearless, the sect's hard-earned favorable situation might collapse."

Fang Ling laughed upon hearing this.

"Mr. Mo, you worry too much. I have always been kind to others; why would I kill people so easily?"

"Rest assured, I won't fight with Emperor Shao."

Everyone present felt uneasy upon hearing this.

They thought their Sect Master might not have a clear understanding of himself.

"I don't know the way to the palace. Charm Emissary, come with me!" Fang Ling looked at Yun Shuiqing.

Yun Shuiqing immediately stood up, "Yes, sir!"
