Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 916 - 811: Rebirth (Part 2)

Time is of the essence, delaying any further might risk the main body's severe injuries not healing, posing a mortal threat;

Besides, the Flood Dragon path provided by Senior Yan Xuan is excellent. However, there's a mountain pass that had been precarious since the earthquake, and if delayed until the rainy season next year with floods washing it away, it might form a dam blocking a connected deep waterway from the terrain perspective, rendering the Walking Flood Dragon Map entirely useless.

Therefore, I want to investigate first, then consider whether to go on the path of the Flood Dragon."

It's what they call the right time, place, and people. Hearing Xiao Bai mention the changes in that mountain pass, Jiang Yuan thought it would be a shame if the waterway that could allow his massive body to pass got cut off.

In any case, it's just a preliminary inspection now, so why not take a look.

However, the contract pet is worried about threats from the main body, and he decided to give it a Calming Pill.

The last time I sent 40 points of Life Origin, it wasn't enough. The system prompted that Xiao Bai, as a clone, needs 200 points of Life Origin to become an independent entity with a soul, and not worry about being reclaimed or devoured by the main body at any time.

In the previous World Tree branch instance, relying on Xiao Bai's Fire Eyes Golden Gaze, I cleared those strange statue spoils, which were all Life Origins, accumulated up to 860 points, giving him 160 points is not a big deal.

"Come on, let me give you something good again." Jiang Yuan clicked the gift button, entered 160 points, then selected the avatar of the contract pet Bai Yunqi from the pop-up list, and clicked send.

"Buzz!"

An inexplicable whirlwind rose beneath their feet, enveloping them completely with dazzling light spots and intense vitality.

The gifted points were plenty, making the momentum several times greater than last time, even prompting the drowsy Yan Xuan, who acted as a "spiritual energy humidifier," to awaken.

It lazily opened its eyelids, watching as the whirlwind intensified, dizzy circles spinning in its sluggish eyes, then let out a faint hum, "So dizzy..."

Its bird head drooped again and fell back asleep.

Ling Di, who was squatting by Yan Xuan's side cultivating: ???

What was that?

Woof! Am I dreaming?

Damn... It's actually the legendary Life Origin?!

"The new master is way too generous, this is a Supreme Treasure accumulated over countless years of cultivation, and he just gifts it like that!" It stared dumbfoundedly, rubbing its dog head with a paw, still unable to believe it.

Anything related to "life" is paramount even for a Cultivator.

The Cloud Concealment Sect prides itself on delving into the Heavenly Dao, naturally having explored the mystical Life Origin.

It once heard the old master mention that with the right opportunities, the original Life Origin could be strengthened, even seizing others' origins. When origins are abundant, it might even bring the dead back to life!

Yet the secrets of Life Origin already touch upon the Heavenly Dao Laws, even the Cloud Concealment Sect hasn't fully grasped its mysteries.

Unexpectedly, I got to witness such a phenomenon as gifting Life Origin with my own eyes!

Old Dog was excited, all the white fur on its body slightly bristled, staring fixedly at the two figures amidst the overwhelming whirlwind, as if by watching a bit longer he might also gain some benefits.

"Huff! Huff!"

Bai Yunqi was in the vortex, with countless light spots infusing his body, besides gasping for air, he only felt a powerful hot stream churning in his chest, unable to vent.

This familiar feeling immediately made him realize that the Venerable Family was gifting him the incredibly precious Life Origin for the second time, and it came even more fiercely than last time!

But the experience was somewhat different from last time.

The whirlwind, infused with a thick aura of life and soul, rushed into the body, entering through the seven orifices, flowing through the Dantian, and all the meridians of the body finally reaching the heart aperture. No longer was there a feeling of floating away, instead, it centered on the heart aperture spreading outwardly, becoming increasingly heavy.

He could feel every vein, every inch of skin, the new soul gradually harmonizing with the flesh.

Unknowingly, tears welled up in Bai Yunqi's eyes, unable to suppress his inner excitement any longer, the overwhelming surge in his chest burst out with a roar, only to be shredded by the vast whirlwind the moment it left his mouth, not even Jiang Yuan, who was the closest, heard it.

[Achievement: Creating a complete and independent life form by gifting Life Origin. Reward: Life Origin +500; Ornament: Life Fountain +1]

[Life Fountain: A small ornament with great effectiveness, nourishing the divine soul of all creatures within its range after activation.

Injured recover faster; practitioners found it easier to enter the state of perceiving Dao; those lacking in godly soul, nourished and quickly strengthened, even mortals could eliminate hidden ailments and extend lifespan with long-time nourishment]

[Current Life Origin balance: 1200 points]

Jiang Yuan, still amidst the unsettling whirlwind, raised an eyebrow slightly at the unexpected delight—the system indeed has many good things!

The only doubt is how wide a range this small ornament can cover. If it's relatively small, I'd have to put the Ink Jade Space containing the Vermilion Bird's remnant soul indoors; perhaps, after nourishing for some time, it might occasionally awaken.

"Thank you, Venerable Family." Bai Yunqi lifted his robe, knelt on the ground, and performed a grand ceremony, "The main body gave me the physical form; the Venerable Family completed my soul. This moment, this place, marks the official birth of Bai Yunqi, forever indebted to the Venerable Family's grace!"

Having received the Venerable Family's gifted Life Origin before, he thought he could entirely break free from the main body's shackles, but Bai Yunqi soon realized he had oversimplified things; those Life Origins couldn't condense into a real soul, and it was still possible for the main body to devour him if needed.

And the Life Origin is extremely precious, he dared not hope for more, adding all sorts of concerns, he pinned his hopes on walking the path of the Flood Dragon.

According to common sense, walking the Flood Dragon needs to encompass large and small circles around one's birthplace, gaining the Power of Earth to transform into a Flood Dragon with varying strength upon success.

Bai Yunqi, merely being a clone, naturally had no birthplace.

No matter which world he chose for walking the Flood Dragon, even if successful, he couldn't gain the Power of Earth.

Now things were different, at this moment in the courtyard, he truly experienced rebirth, and the courtyard was his birthplace!

And at this very moment, the courtyard in the Human World merged seamlessly with the ocean of the Wilderness World, making Senior Yan Xuan's provided path presumably appropriate. Should he choose to take a shortcut, walking the Flood Dragon in the Human World would be an option, however, with Bai Yunqi's prideful nature, he certainly wouldn't select the relatively easier path.

Without the pressure of being devoured by the main body, he approached the option of walking the Flood Dragon with increasing caution.

"Woof! Woof! So this big white snake is merely a clone body?" Ling Di heard their conversation, his eyes shining brightly as he stared at Jiang Yuan, drooling almost dripping down—Master treats his subordinates quite considerately!

The clone only had the body, no divine soul, the master gifted it Life Origins and it found new life, it's practically the means of a creator deity!

If I perform well and achieve more feats, with my master's generosity, might my wish to ascend as a Divine Beast come true?

His eyes glanced complexly at the sleeping Yan Xuan, muttering to himself, it's no wonder the courtyard holds two out of the four symbols, the master's origins seem intimidatingly grand!

Xie Chenyuan, originally in a secluded spot meditating, was drawn over, daring only to watch with his eyes, clutching his left hand tenaciously on his right to curb his habit of attempting divination.

This thing isn't meant to be watched! A careless look and I'm in risk of losing my life again!

"Ancestor." He secretly communicated in a whisper, asking for guidance: "What kind of technique is this by Senior Jiang? I've read various ancient texts in the Cloud Concealment Sect, yet I've never heard of such a thing?"

Ling Di gave him a helpless look, "Silly child, you're just a disciple, not even an elder, how would you have the qualification to come into contact with these? Even your master, without sufficient Realm, might not be so privileged to know. Matters concerning Life Origin are exceedingly profound…"

The old dog scientifically explained what he knew to the young disciple, with Xie Chenyuan growing more excited as he listened;

Bai Yunqi seized the time to cultivate, striving to become familiar with and adapt to the feel of unity between soul and body as an independent life form.

While Jiang Yuan delightedly entered his house, took out the newly acquired Life Fountain from his Storage Bag, and carefully appraised it.

No wonder there was a special note marking it a small ornament, only about 20 centimeters high and a little over 10 centimeters wide, though crafted exquisitely. A simple little fountain endlessly spewing water, surrounded by a milky white aura above the pool.

To prepare for placing it, the system popped up the entire courtyard's miniature decoration interface, letting him clearly see the ornament's coverage range.

To his surprise, apart from the lower yard being fully covered, even the connected Riverfront Village instance was plainly included.

"Tsk tsk, no wonder it said ordinary people could prolong life and eliminate ailments, it encompasses this much. Void refugees narrowly escaping death sure have future blessings!" Jiang Yuan was quite satisfied.

Placing the ornament, he pondered finishing the last bit of incense left, simultaneously handling a side quest, and perhaps discussing with Qu Luming on the issue concerning the second homeland!

Alongside getting clarity, Jiang Yuan glanced up at the upper floor, wondering what exactly Tang Qin's thoughts were?
