I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Chapter 179: The Sacred Tree Dependent

[Tree of Heaven Punishment (-15,000/100,000)]

[Growth Rate: Small Tree Sapling, Silver Person (King Potential)]

[State: Weak Origin]

[Talent]

[Good and Evil Distinguishment LV3: The host can perceive and distinguish the kind and evil intent that all living creatures have for him. This works within a range of 300 meters.]

[Heavenly Thunder Manipulation LV2 (30%): Thunderbolt is the Tree of Heaven Punishment’s method of punishing the enemy. Because of human worship, as well as the rules of heaven, the thunderbolt from the Tree of Heaven Punishment belongs to Heavenly Thunder and can cause a great deal of shock and damage to evil people. LV2 bonus: The lightning and thunder derived from the body can be released outside the body.]

Lin Yao looked at the information, which stated that it had a weak origin and -15,000 energy points. He was completely speechless. He had not expected the energy points to be a negative value.

After he thought about it, Lin Yao’s mind jolted. A part of the green energy cluster that was suspended in the air split up and flowed into the Tree of Heaven Punishment.

That was the remaining energy after Lin Yao had advanced the Celestial Tree. There had initially been more than 20,000 points of energy, but it was suddenly reduced by 15,000 points. Right now, there was only little more than 5,000 points of energy left.

After he refilled the Tree of Heaven Punishment with 15,000 points of energy, the tree recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When it was fully restored, Lin Yao finally was in the mood to look at the information at the bottom of the Tree of Heaven Punishment, where the interface of the feathered serpent spirit was.

[Sacred Tree Dependent]

[Number: 1]

[Name: Feathered Serpent Spirit]

[Level: Peak Warlord (Gold Potential)]

[Talent: 1Energization, 2Power of Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning]

[Talent 1: The feathered serpent spirit is forged from the soul and energy. It had no body, so it cannot eat or drink. The feathered serpent spirit needs the power of lightning and thunder, as well as spirit energy, to maintain the body’s consumption. At the same time, after energization, the feathered serpent spirit is immune to ordinary physical attacks and can absorb the same energy. However, it is vulnerable to targeted energy attacks and soul attacks. The will of the martial artist can also damage the energized body.]

[Prompt: The feathered serpent spirit is an energy creature and has a close relationship with the host. The host can manipulate the feathered serpent spirit and attach it to himself.]

[Talent 2: As a descendant of the feathered serpent god, the feathered serpent spirit controls the power of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. Therefore, the feathered serpent spirit can control the wind to fly, manipulate the rain, and induce thunderbolts. This power is the residual power of the monsoon godhead of the feathered serpent god, which is regarded as the hypostasis of the feathered serpent spirit. Therefore, it takes 100% of energy consumption to exert this power on a sunny day. It only needs two-thirds or half this energy if it is cloudy or overcast to activate this power. When there is heavy rain, the residual hypostasis power of the monsoon godhead of the feathered serpent god will be fully activated, and only one-tenth of the power will be needed to manipulate the power of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. Note: Because the feathered serpent spirit was affected by the Tree of Heaven Punishment when it was reborn, the thunderbolt that it can summon is Heavenly Thunder.]

Lin Yao frowned slightly after realizing that the feathered serpent spirit only had gold potential.

When one had gold potential, that did not mean that one could easily reach the gold level but that one could only reach the gold realm despite trying one’s best. Right now, it was already a huge challenge to break through from a peak warlord to a silver warlord.

‘Forget it, this was supposed to be a transition. The reason I’m turning it into a dependent rather than a resource for the Tree of Heaven Punishment is to protect myself, as I am fragile in the early stage. I can’t ask for too much, and it’s an unexpected surprise that I can attach it to the body. At the very least, I can use it at will during the arena competition.’

Not everything could be used in the arena.

One could naturally use any weapons during a life-and-death battle outside the arena competition without any restrictions. However, the arena competition was a test of one’s personal strength, so there were restrictions. After all, monster pets were foreign creatures. Although they could still be used, there were many restrictions. For example, companion-like creatures that completely took orders from the martial artist could not be used in the arena at all.

There were other restrictions in arena competitions as well. China even had a special law that stated what was acceptable in arena competitions. There were hundreds of restrictions and rules. In the case of weapons being used in arena competitions, high schoolers and younger people had to use standard weapons provided by the organizer. If the contestants had graduated from high school and gone to various colleges, they could basically use any weapons and armor they had bought themselves. The organizers would not provide the weapons. As for the competitions for people who had graduated from school, they could use all kinds of weapons apart from some forbidden ones.

In addition to weapons, there were many other restrictions, but there was no need to elaborate. All Lin Yao needed to understand was that a foreign object that was dominated by him and could be integrated into his body was basically regarded as his personal strength.

This applied to Angel Gem and the feathered serpent spirit.

‘Although I don’t intend to use it to fight in the arena competition tomorrow, I should still register it tomorrow.’

There was one other thing that Lin Yao was concerned about regarding the feathered serpent spirit, and it was the word “dependent”.

Most sacred trees would provide for all living things and, in turn, they would protect and defend the trees.

However, there were different methods when it came to cooperating with living creatures.

There were the Phoenix and the Chinese Parasol Tree, as well as the Hibiscus Tree and the golden crow, which had a sheltering and symbiotic relationship that could be considered providing a nest or residence for creatures. There was also the master-slave attachment relationship that ghosts and evil spirits had with the Locust Tree.

The feathered serpent spirit and the Tree of Heaven Punishment had an attachment relationship. Of course, they had a more amiable relationship than the Locust Tree, which nurtured ghosts. To be specific, they had a relationship similar to that of a tree of life and elves.

The elves regarded the tree of life as a mother, a faith, a dwelling place after death, and a sacred object that could not be desecrated, while the tree of life could give birth to elves and could also create a fountain of life for elves to use. The feathered serpent spirit and the Tree of Heaven Punishment had such a relationship.

The feathered serpent spirit and the Tree of Heaven Punishment could be linked because of this close relationship. However, Lin Yao was very cautious, so when he forged the feathered serpent spirit, he left room for maneuvering. As a result, the feathered serpent spirit could be punished anytime and had to obey his orders.

However, given that the feathered serpent spirit seemed to be ignorant and had total trust in him, Lin Yao felt that perhaps there was no need for violence.

As the feathered serpent spirit had hatched, Lin Yao’s consciousness, which was immersed in the Sea of Consciousness, returned to him, and the first sensation he felt when his consciousness entered his body was pain.

Lin Yao grimaced at the sudden pain he felt when his flesh was scorched by electric current. At the same time, he also shouted toward the console.

“Senior Sister, stop! It’s enough!”

“Okay.”

Jiang Rong nodded and turned off the electric current switch. Lin Yao removed the electrode patches from his body, recovering from the pain while giving orders to the feathered serpent spirit entrenched in the Sea of Consciousness.

‘Come out.’

At Lin Yao’s thought, an energetic little serpent rushed out of his body and was suspended in the air. Due to its wings, it did not seem cold and gloomy, like ordinary serpents. On the contrary, it seemed adorable.

The little serpent, who had suddenly been taken away from its “mother”, looked lost, but it soon sensed the aura of its “mother”. Although it did not understand the reason its mother had changed from a big tree to a strange creature, it did not think too much, as it sensed a calming feeling coming from its “mother”. Instead, it hovered and played around its “mother”.

This so-called “mother” was naturally Lin Yao. He watched as the little serpent swam happily around him. His thoughts jolted, and he gave the little serpent orders through the connection between the Tree of Heaven Punishment and its dependent.

‘Show me your strongest fighting stance.’

Ss…!

As soon as it heard Lin Yao’s command, electric light flickered and crackled around the feathered serpent spirit, the little serpent expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon, a huge 3.6-meter-tall feathered serpent spirit composed of energy appeared in front of Lin Yao. The serpent twisted its body into a ball and protected Lin Yao, who was in the center.

“Is this… the remnant soul of the feathered serpent that the professor gave you?”

The huge feathered serpent spirit shocked Jiang Rong, who had not left, but she thought of something and looked at Lin Yao in surprise.

“Is this a natural spirit? Can you turn the remnant soul into a natural spirit?”

“Yes, but the consumption is very large.”

Four materials were needed for recasting the feathered serpent spirit. There was the power of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, the soul left by the remnant soul of the feathered serpent, the original ability endowed by the Tree of Heaven Punishment, and the large amount of electricity that was connected to Lin Yao’s body.

Among them, electricity was in abundance in the human world, and although the power of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning and the remnant soul were rare, they could be obtained as long as one was willing to spend money. However, there was one thing that Lin Yao could not afford to lose, and that was the origin of the Tree of Heaven Punishment.

Lin Yao felt that even if he used green energy to restore the current energy points of the Tree of Heaven Punishment, which had a negative value, it would take three months for it to fully recover.

In other words, Lin Yao could indeed create dependents. This was an ability of most sacred trees. Many sacred trees relied on their dependents for protection. However, if he did not want to affect the sacred tree, he could only create one every three months.

‘It’s best not to create too many dependents. Apart from creating them, I still have to feed them. Fortunately, the feathered serpent spirit is an electric creature. Although energy is needed to maintain it, it can be easily obtained.’

Feeding monster pets was not a simple matter. Anyone who had read about the knights in the Middle Ages knew that exquisite warhorses sometimes ate more expensively than humans. The same was true for monster pets. Unless one did not care about their capabilities, it would not be easy to feed them.

‘The current feathered serpent spirit is a peak warlord. I will have to check later to see if it can break through to the silver level.’

While thinking about this, Lin Yao ordered the feathered serpent spirit to retreat into its dormant state.

The 3.6-meter-tall, thunder-and-lightning feathered serpent indeed looked terrifying. However, it would consume a lot of energy to remain in this state.

It took Lin Yao a lot of time to recast and study the feathered serpent spirit. Fortunately, the arena competition ended early. Although it took several hours to recast it, the sun had not set yet. Since the room he was in was a transparent glass room from all sides, even above, the ability of the Lord of Light had been absorbing the power of light around him during his deep sleep. This was why Lin Yao’s cells were saturated with light energy now.

Senior Sister Jiang Rong spoke up. “Are you going home or staying the night?”

This sentence had an ambiguous meaning. However, Lin Yao, who knew its specific meaning, understood that the real situation was not that lovely. If he stayed behind, he would not get any benefits. Instead, he would be electrocuted overnight. But since there was less light energy at night, he would only be going through electric shock stimulation at a lower intensity. action

“I won’t be going back.”

Given the crisis in the world, Lin Yao was reluctant to waste a single second of his time.

“Move to the bed over there. This is a bed specially made for you. There are electrode patches on it, and the bed also has a lifting function. It allows you to sit or lie down. Are you going to lie or sit now?”

“Sit down.”

After he completed the necessary procedure, electrode patches were soon attached to Lin Yao’s body, and electric current passed through him.

The intensity of the electric current was suitable for absorption. Such development could not bring about as huge an improvement as in-depth electric current development, but correspondingly, it did not stimulate Lin Yao as much. In fact, as the electric current flowed into his body, he was able to remain in an active state, and his mind was very clear.

As he was relishing the comfort of the electric current stimulating his body, Qin Ya came over.

“What’s wrong? Is there any activity today? If not, I will sleep here.”

While feeling intrigued by the new feeling, Lin Yao, who had asked Qin Ya this question, noticed that she did not look very happy. In fact, her expression was solemn and worried.

“Yes, there is. First of all, there’s the competition. You defeated Wu Sheng’s team, but besides you, another team also won. No. 1 High School has been thoroughly disgraced today.”

“Are you worried about your alma mater?”

“No, I’m worried about you.”

After she said that, Qin Ya opened the laptop she was carrying and played a video for Lin Yao.

“Take a look. This may be your biggest opponent.”
