Reincarnated as a Ginkgo Tree: I Create an Eternal Divine Kingdom - Chapter 175

Within the data panel…

The Heart Origin World and Heart Peering abilities vanished.

In their place was the “Heart Origin Profound Realm”.

Su Mu briefly sensed it, finding this Heart Origin Profound Realm seemingly no different from the original Heart Origin World.

But then he was startled.

Whoosh!

With a slight stir of his mind, Su Mu’s consciousness descended into the Heart Origin Profound Realm.

The Heart Origin Profound Realm was a dark, illusory world, devoid of light.

However, this world was not empty.

Floating within the void were numerous shadows.

If outsiders were present, they would surely find the forms of these shadows quite familiar.

Among them was the Thunder Lynx. There were also powerful figures from various nations. The appearances of these shadows belonged to those powerhouses Su Mu had slain.

The Heart Origin World could accommodate the demon souls of demons and the Nascent Souls of humans.

In short, one had to reach the Fifth Tier, with their soul solidified into a tangible form, to be eligible for containment within.

Containing their Nascent Souls did not affect Su Mu’s ability to kill them and harvest their lifespans.

After all, lifespan came from a living being’s life force, from their physical body.

Currently, the several shadows within the Heart Origin World were the Lynx’s demon soul, the Nascent Souls of Isouria, Mosini, McKinley, the Grand Elder of the Ancient Tomb Empire, and three other Divine Transformation powerhouses from various nations.

Missing was Zhu Huang’s Nascent Soul.

At the time of Zhu Huang’s death, Su Mu had noticed his Nascent Soul mysteriously escaping. 

This led him to speculate that Zhu Huang had a clone.

Su Mu didn’t pay much attention to this. The absence of Zhu Huang’s Nascent Soul had little impact on him.

Numerous demon souls and Nascent Souls floated in the void.

They were initially extremely apprehensive and uneasy.

“Is this the world after death? Could it be the Netherworld?”

They were worried about encountering hell or ox-headed and horse-faced guardians.

After all, the hell of legends was an extremely terrifying place.

“Rest assured, there’s nothing here,” the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx’s voice rang out.

“A demon?”

Seeing the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx’s form, the other human Nascent Souls showed hostility.

“Even after arriving here, you lot still differentiate between demon and human?” the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx scoffed. “Now we have one identity, and that is of the undead.”

Hearing this, the humans were immediately disheartened.

They felt the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx spoke the truth.

“May I ask who you are?” McKinley asked, cupping his hands.

“This lord is a Sixth Tier being from the Kunlun Plateau, revered by the Kunlun populace as the ‘Grand Lord Thunder Lynx’,” the Thunder Lynx declared proudly.

The other human Nascent Souls were shocked and discolored upon hearing this.

“What? A Sixth Tier being!”

“I have some understanding of the Kunlun Plateau and have indeed heard of the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx.”

“The overlord of the Kunlun Plateau, that indeed could very well be a Sixth Tier being.”

The human Nascent Souls were all extremely shaken.

Even they were encountering a Sixth Tier being for the first time.

A Sixth Tier being in the demon race was equivalent to a Void Refinement expert among humans.

One must know that Divine Transformation experts were the most apex existences among humans in the current world.

Even those experts were already rare in the present world.

Void Refinement experts were even rarer, practically extinct.

They never expected to encounter a Sixth Tier being equivalent to a human Void Refinement expert right before their eyes.

“Grand Lord Thunder Lynx, may I ask what this place is and how you came to be here?” McKinley asked again.

“I don’t know where this is either,” the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx said, a hint of fear flashing in its eyes. “I only know that after I was killed by Mist Lord, my demon soul was confined here by him.”

“What?”

“You were also killed by the Misty Forbidden Zone Master?”

The human Nascent Souls were all greatly surprised.

Seeing their reactions, the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx immediately realized something, “Could it be that you were too?”

“Indeed.”

“That taboo existence is too terrifying. Thousands of us besieged him, but he ended up slaughtering all of us with a terrifying divine ability.”

“If you said some other being killed you, Grand Lord, we might not be able to comprehend it, but if you say it was the Mist Lord, then it’s completely reasonable.”

“And with that said, has the power of the Misty Forbidden Zone already invaded the Kunlun Plateau?”

The human experts spoke one after another.

If it were before the great battle at Nanzhao Bay, they would certainly have found it hard to accept the Thunder Lynx’s words.

Killing a Sixth Tier being sounded like a fantasy.

But having experienced that battle, the Divine Tree was akin to a celestial being in their eyes.

For such an existence, even killing a Sixth Tier being, even ascending to the Kunlun Plateau, didn’t seem unacceptable.

On the contrary, it was the Thunder Lynx who was quite alarmed to hear the words of the human Nascent Soul experts. “What did you say? The Mist Lord killed thousands of cultivators?”

These people before him were no ordinary human cultivators; although inferior to him, they were still Fifth Tier beings.

Coupled with the assistance of thousands of cultivators, even a Sixth Tier being shouldn’t have been able to slaughter them all, logically speaking.

Deep fear appeared on the faces of the Divine Transformation experts.

“It was a divine ability beyond our imagination.”

“With a flip of his hand, heaven and earth changed, time stood still.”

“There were even the sun and moon in that realm, and even they were frozen.”

The experts spoke one after another.

The Thunder Lynx was frightened out of its wits.

If only one Divine Transformation expert had said this, it might have doubted its authenticity.

However, with multiple human experts saying so before him, the matter was undoubtedly true.

The Misty Forbidden Zone master’s strength was even more terrifying than it had imagined.

It was evident that the Misty Forbidden Zone’s master hadn’t even been serious when dealing with it.

“Now it seems we were all killed by the Mist Lord, which is why we appeared in this dark void,” the Thunder Lynx sighed.

“Then what exactly is this place?”

The experts were all apprehensive.

“I don’t know either. I only know that it’s always dark here, with nothing else, seemingly unchanging since ancient times,” the Thunder Lynx said. “Not only that, I feel my demon soul power is constantly draining away. In the long run, it might completely vanish.”

This made the experts uneasy.

Just as they were discussing, this dark void suddenly shook violently.

This frightened all the demon souls and nascent souls.

But immediately after, they discovered that this dark void seemed to have undergone some kind of change.

Not only that, but a trace of mysterious power was merging into their soul bodies.

“Have you noticed?” McKinley suddenly said.

“I feel that this dark void seems to be connected to the real world.”

“And I can sense some chaotic spiritual senses in the dark. These spiritual senses are like coordinates in this dark void.”

“Let me go take a look at what these chaotic spiritual senses are.”

The demon souls and experts said one after another.

In the end, it was the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx who made the first attempt.

After all, it had been here the longest, and it had long endured enough of these days spent in the dark void.

It was willing to try any change.

Qingzhou.

Violet Sun Sect.

A young man was cultivating.

This young man was Chen Boran, the chief disciple of the Hao Yang Peak of the Violet Sun Sect.

His cultivation was at the peak of the Golden Core realm.

Today, he was in seclusion, attempting a breakthrough to advance to the Nascent Soul realm.

Of course, not everyone was Su Yao.

He looked young but was actually over ninety years old.

Even so, he was still considered a genius.

A Golden Core peak expert over ninety years old was definitely considered extremely young in the cultivation world.

During breakthroughs, the human heart was most prone to turmoil.

Chen Boran was no exception.

At this moment, he had all sorts of negative and chaotic thoughts in his mind.

But he didn’t pay much attention to it.

Because other seniors had also had similar experiences during their breakthroughs, it wasn’t a big deal.

But at this moment, he seemed to sense a dark void.

Then, a monstrous shadow approached him.

TN: I’m sure most of you have read cultivation novels before, but when I use Nascent Soul it is the second ‘clone’ that the beings form after they reach the fourth tier, or Nascent Soul realm. This stays with them throughout cultivation so yes, Zhu Huang was a Divine Transformation cultivator but he still has a Nascent Soul.
