Chapter 715: A Few Annual Rings



No matter how beautiful a room is, it will become boring after looking at it for a long time, but natural scenery is much better because living things will change. Xia Xiao sat under the shade of the Yuanqi Tree. As his practice entered the best state, his perception and familiarity with every world reached its peak.

In the dense forest, Xiao Ran was singing and dancing gracefully, her figure was graceful and elegant, interpreting the beauty of the spirit bird to the fullest. She sometimes stretched out her delicate hands, as if wanting to be held by another hand, and sometimes turned on the spot, her light and elegant long skirt like the waves of the colorful ocean.

She always stayed by Ju Mang's side, and the thin vine became thicker because of Xia Xiao's growth of vitality. It might not be a big change for Xia Xiao, but Xiao Ran remembered every little change of him.

If Ju Mang could absorb Bai Dun's vitality alone, Xia Xiao would definitely not use it for cultivation. But Ju Mang could only change with Xia Xiao, so he absorbed vitality day and night.

Huodou, like Jumang, was also sleeping. He could not sense the danger, so he closed his eyes in the volcano and began a sleep from which he would not wake up until some time. It was also a time to recuperate. Huodou could realize that the real danger was coming, both in front of him and not far away.

Every time Xia Xiao practiced, it was time for everyone to take a break. Only Xiaoyu was the same as usual. She just played with the light and shadow around her in the company of the three big fish, or stared into the deeper parts of the sea in a daze.

In addition to the one-sided perception of space, Xia Xiao's telepathy with them has also become much stronger. From Ju Mang, Xia Xiao heard the budding and wriggling sounds of life. Huo Dou was sleeping peacefully, snoring loudly, and in a good mood. Xiao Yu was slightly sad, just like she always was, and her occasional sighs were even more familiar. It can be imagined that it was all about Xia Xiao.

The gold and earth elements are special. The gold spirit beast still has opinions about Xia Xiao, so his connection with Xia Xiao has always been weak. He can't feel Xia Xiao's emotional fluctuations and thoughts, and Xia Xiao doesn't know what he is thinking. On the other side of the mountain tongue, there seems to be a stone blocking Xia Xiao's perception of him.

Xia Xiao was practicing and thinking, and finally realized that the stone he saw was the mountain tongue. As for the lack of emotion, it was just because the mountain tongue was sometimes like that. He stretched his body, facing the sky, basking in the sun motionlessly, and there was no difference between him and a real stone.

This strange state of mind was not the first time Xia Xiao had experienced it. He once fell asleep in class, but he was still reciting the text and could keep up with everyone else. What was even more amazing was that he could subconsciously answer any question the teacher asked, or shout "yes". Another thing was that he was clearly practicing, but he was very aware of everything around him, as if he was looking with his eyes open.

The continuously absorbed vitality settled in Xia Xiao's body, allowing him to break through the shackles one after another. Now, Xia Xiao will face a huge threshold. As long as he crosses it, he will have the ability to enter the silent world. Obviously, when absorbing Bai Dun's vitality, Xia Xiao's strength increased very quickly. Now he has two more rings, and the vitality tree will soon have another ring.

Ordinary trees accumulate spiritual energy over time and thus change themselves. The vitality tree becomes thicker and stronger due to the vitality, and the speed is much faster.

The more rings there are, the more vitality it can hold, and the faster it absorbs vitality. This is a process of continuous rise. And now, when Xia Xiao's attention is scattered and focused, although the vitality tree has not moved, a shadow has appeared.

The difference between the shadow and the current size is visible to the naked eye, but it is difficult to succeed because more vitality is needed. However, Xia Xiao has nothing else now, but he has a lot of vitality. The vitality ball in front of him is two-thirds of the previous one, so the vitality flowing into the meadow is more than before.

The phantom was filled with vitality, and the vitality tree finally had its tenth ring. At this moment, Xia Xiao stopped absorbing vitality, because his body had undergone drastic changes. He felt that every cell in his body was different from before. They could accommodate vitality much better and could withstand the distortion of space.

The sudden confidence made Xia Xiao want to take a trip to the silent world, but as he was currently in a narrow space crack, he continued to absorb Bai Dun's vitality.

It was difficult to suppress the emotions in his heart, but no matter how much Xia Xiao wanted to, nothing was more important than improving his strength and then bearing the brand blockade. So he calmed down again and absorbed the vitality faster. But by the time he completely absorbed Bai Dun's vitality without leaving any, Xia Xiao didn't know how many days had passed.

Suddenly opening his eyes, Xia Xiao's power was much stronger than before he closed his eyes. Bai Dun's vitality helped him go from the seven rings of the Qulun realm to the fifteen rings he has now. Such a huge change is rare in the world. Xia Xiao's breathing has even become different from before, but he has no extra time to appreciate his current power.

Even though the fifteen rings were real, without any exaggeration or falsehood, Xia Xiao's expression was still cold. He got out of bed anxiously, not noticing the sunken headboard where he sat, and headed for the black door on the right. There was a little light in the gap of the black door, and from the window, it was a sunny day outside.

No matter how the world changes, this corner of the wilderness will always remain the same, silent and full of loneliness.

He twisted the handle and pushed it outward. A gust of cold wind blew in. Even with Xia Xiao's current strength, he shivered because of the temperature coming from the ice field. This was the difference between a greenhouse and nature. Even the most cold-resistant flowers would change after staying in a greenhouse for a long time. But soon, Xia Xiao, a cold flower that had not been spoiled by the greenhouse, adapted and looked at the warm sunshine.

"strangeness……"

Xia Xiao thought that someone would be there when he woke up, but after waiting for a while, there was still nothing. Even if it took him some time to absorb the vitality, it would not be the time to start the battle.

The Qingtian Sect and Heihuang don’t take me seriously at all?

Xia Xiao was asking himself this question when he felt a scent coming from the empty surroundings, attracting him.

"This is... the smell of demonic energy."

The Qingtian Sect was originally a den of poison, so it was not surprising that there were creatures of the devil. However, Xia Xiao soon discovered that there were many new waves of devil energy coming out of this unknown building. In other words, many people were falling into the devil path, and judging by the frequency and fluctuations, most of them were active, because they did not feel the struggle of the creatures against the devil energy. Everything was so harmonious, as natural as the birth of a newborn in the world.

But the more this happened, the weirder it seemed, causing Xia Xiao to frown subconsciously.

“Tsk!”

Xia Xiao smacked his lips and suddenly realized that time was running out again. He was about to go out to find Heihuang when a familiar voice appeared behind him.

"Your strength has improved quite a bit!"

Xia Xiao turned around calmly with bare feet and closed the door. Although the room would be very dark and the view would be somewhat obstructed, because the light from the right window could not illuminate the entire room. But he could still see the face clearly, but she was not Bai Dun now, Xia Xiao knew it, but no matter how hard he tried to hide it, he was still a little anxious, so he said:

"I'm ready, start sealing the brand!"
