Chapter Thirty-Nine: Han Wei's Infant Formation
The spiritual energy, so dense it was almost overwhelming, transformed into wisps of spiritual energy that floated in the air, and pink flowers bloomed all over the tall spiritual trees.
Countless spiritual herbs grow beneath the tree, each one priceless. Even beings at the Integration or Mahayana stages would go mad with excitement upon seeing them. These spiritual herbs are all over ten thousand years old, and many are rare varieties that cannot be found even in the Great Realms.
Han Wei stood in the medicinal herb field, deeply inhaling the spiritual energy here, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
The spiritual energy is rich in both Yi Wood and Jia Wood elements.
Her fair skin revealed many bluish lines, and a petal-shaped red mark appeared between her brows. Her dark eyes turned emerald green. Han Wei sat down in the herb field, set up a barrier, and began to adjust her state; she was going to form her Nascent Soul here.
This place is a secluded, independent space carved out within the Jade Palace.
Moreover, with so much wood-based spiritual energy released from ancient medicinal herbs, this is the perfect place to form a Nascent Soul.
Having already achieved Nascent Soul stage, Han Wei quickly entered a meditative state. Within this hidden space, dense wood elemental energy surged towards her, entering her body. She then rapidly activated the "Myriad Manifestations of the Senluo Technique."
Han Wei's entire body was enveloped in green light, and the petal-shaped mark between her brows became even more crimson. Her spiritual pressure grew stronger and stronger. She had already entered the pseudo-infant state, and if Gu Qi hadn't been pushing her so hard, she would have already formed her nascent soul long ago.
As Han Wei absorbed more and more spiritual energy, her golden core expanded, and changes began to occur inside. A hazy, small human figure began to take shape on the surface of the golden core.
A vortex of spiritual energy enveloped Han Wei, and a green magic circle appeared beneath her, with a blue dragon at its center. The dragon's eyes flickered, and its entire body moved, swimming within the magic circle. The magic circle rotated, slowly expanding, and more spiritual energy surged towards Han Wei.
The golden core within Han Wei's body finally broke open, and then a tiny figure, a figure exactly like Han Wei, floated in the position in front of the golden core.
The tiny figure sat cross-legged, enveloped in a bluish glow, utterly holy.
Han Wei opened her eyes, and a powerful aura of early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator emanated from her, forming a gale that swept across the boundless medicinal field.
Nascent Soul Formation Successful!
For other cultivators, successfully forming their Nascent Soul is an exhilarating and incredibly exciting event, but for Han Wei, it was simply a matter of course. Having already reached the Tribulation Transcending stage in her previous life, if she could fail at forming her Nascent Soul, she would be nothing but a waste.
After successfully forming her nascent soul, the first thing Han Wei did was to remove the Soul-Locking Curse that Gu Qi had placed on her.
The second thing she did was frantically absorb the medicinal power of the herbs here. She had already cultivated her "Myriad Manifestations Technique" to the third level, allowing her to absorb the medicinal power remotely without actually consuming the herbs.
Countless spiritual herbs released various colors of light, and dazzling rays of light were flying towards Han Wei. Spiritual herbs of various attributes were frantically transferring their power to Han Wei.
Han Wei was enveloped in multicolored light, her eyes closed, immersed in a profound state. Behind her, the shadow of a phantom divine tree appeared in the void.
Time passed just like that. Fifteen days later, Han Wei's power had reached the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, while many of the rare and precious herbs here had degenerated from ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to ten-year-old ones.
Han Wei opened her eyes.
Within her dantian, a tiny nascent soul held a large, green seed. It was a seed of wood spirit, formed from the medicinal power of many rare and precious herbs that had been absorbed here, but not yet fully digested.
There are too many medicinal herbs here for Han Wei to digest all at once. It would be better to store them and digest them slowly in the future.
Having eaten her fill, Han Wei stood up and began picking the ancient medicinal herbs that had not yet degenerated.
Purple Jade Peony, Golden Peony, Fire Spirit Mushroom, Azure Orchid, Phoenix Flame Flower, Cloud Step Grass, Acacia Lotus, Love Flower, Phantom Grass, Ice Soul Flower, Red Spider Grass...
All the medicinal herbs flew towards Han Wei.
Suddenly, the entire space shook.
Han Wei raised her head and looked at the sky:
"The battle's energy is even reaching here. Who's causing such a commotion?"
Gu Qi's image appeared in her mind, and she shook her head to immediately erase his image from her mind.
Han Wei walked towards the tall spiritual tree growing in the medicinal field. This tree, tens of feet high, was surrounded by a red glow, and its branches were covered with pink blossoms. It was a spiritual cherry tree, over 100,000 years old. Han Wei reached out and stroked the tree, smiling gently.
She used her supernatural powers to shrink the spiritual wood into a seed, then opened her mouth and swallowed the seed into her body. Back when she was at the Qingyun Sect, she had also wanted to take the Jade Dragon Fruit Tree with her, but her cultivation was insufficient at the time, so she could only let the Jade Dragon Fruit Tree die from her absorption.
After swallowing the seed, she carefully collected other rare and precious herbs from the medicinal field and swallowed them all. Having done all this, Han Wei left. She didn't intend to completely deplete the remaining ten-year supply of medicinal herbs; after all, sustainability required prudent harvesting, and perhaps one day she could return for another harvest.
————
The interior of the enormous palace was severely damaged; almost everything that could be destroyed was gone.
Giant rocks and building ruins floated in the void, leaving Han Wei, who had just emerged from the herb field space, dumbfounded. When she came out of the herb field space in her previous life, it wasn't this exaggerated.
Han Wei flew forward, where a section of building debris, several meters long, floated. Scanning it with her divine sense, she saw a flattened corpse—the body of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Half of the face was still recognizable; it was Wen Kexing. She flew over, used magic to move the debris aside, and unceremoniously took his storage bag.
Han Wei continued flying forward, occasionally picking up things from the corpses.
After flying for more than an hour, the space ahead was finally less destroyed; at least there was a place to land. She walked through the ruins, searching for any living creature with her divine sense.
In her past life, she also picked up things from corpses in the same way, but the interior of the Jade Palace wasn't destroyed so badly back then. Now, there are hardly any intact corpses left; they've all been smashed to pieces.
Where is Gu Qi?
Is Gu Qi dead or not?
Han Wei had already released her divine sense to its limit. Passing through the overlapping spaces in front of her, she saw a place, a grand hall, where a white figure was leaning against the wall.
With a thought, Han Wei disappeared from the spot.
————
In the deathly silent hall, the traces of battle were shocking.
In a corner of the main hall, a man in white sat against the wall. His white clothes were stained with blood, his long hair was disheveled, his head was lowered, his eyes were closed, and he was motionless as if he were dead.
Han Wei stopped here, standing at a distance, looking at Gu Qi.
Her breath hitched.
