[Divine Fruit: By consuming your own cultivation, you can condense a Divine Fruit. Whoever consumes it will gain an increase in cultivation and a chance to randomly awaken a divine ability. It can also awaken the intelligence of other ancient trees, making them your servants.]
[Divine Whisper: You can communicate with all living beings and understand their intentions, making it easier to comprehend various mysteries.]
[Insightful Vision: You can perceive the cultivation level of all living beings up to two major realms higher than your own.]
...
These are the detailed functions of the three divine abilities.
"This Divine Fruit, when consumed by other beings, can grant them a divine technique bestowed by the heavens!"
"If used on ancient trees, it can awaken their intelligence and make them my servants!"
Lu Qingyang deeply understood the value of this divine ability.
The effect on other beings aside, merely being able to awaken the intelligence of ancient trees and make them his servants was invaluable.
In the mountains, demonic beasts roamed freely.
Although Lu Qingyang had considerable cultivation, he was still alone and ultimately outnumbered.
But if he had ancient trees as his servants, the situation would be entirely different.
Not only would he be able to expand his territory and hunt more fierce beasts, but he could also sense dangers in advance.
At this moment, Lu Qingyang wasn't sure what level of cultivation the ancient trees would reach after awakening their intelligence.
If they only reached Tier-1, it wouldn't be too bad, but if they remained at the Mortal stage, their effect would be limited.
The remaining abilities, Divine Whisper and Insightful Vision, were equally as valuable as Divine Fruit.
Divine Whisper allowed Lu Qingyang to communicate with all things.
As he activated the Divine Whisper ability, the void trembled slightly, and a deep, grand voice echoed around the ancient tree.
"Lu... Qing... Yang..."
This was the first time Lu Qingyang had made a sound in this world in his unique way.
Divine Whisper did not rely on speech.
It was similar to the legendary power of divine sense, allowing sound to reach the depths of a being's consciousness.
Moreover, Divine Whisper allowed Lu Qingyang to communicate with living beings and understand the language of all things.
As for comprehending various mysteries, Lu Qingyang was not yet sure of its extent.
Insightful Vision's description was brief, but its implications were significant.
With Insightful Vision, Lu Qingyang didn't need to rely on intuition to judge a beast's cultivation level; he could directly use this ability.
In an instant, Lu Qingyang activated Insightful Vision and looked at the golden divine eagle soaring in the sky, and the relevant information immediately appeared in his mind.
...
[True Form: Golden Jade Eagle]
[Realm: Late Tier-3]
...
The brief information made Lu Qingyang fully aware of the golden divine eagle's cultivation level.
"Late Tier-3, this demonic beast is indeed extraordinary!"
Lu Qingyang had already known that the golden divine eagle was at least Tier-3.
Now knowing it was in the late stage of Tier-3, he wasn't too surprised.
Watching it refine the immortal blood, it was clear it aimed to reach the perfect stage of Tier-3, with hopes of stepping into Tier-4.
Once the golden jade eagle reached Tier-4, its cultivation would skyrocket.
Even with his Ancient Tree Aptitude, Lu Qingyang couldn't be sure if he could contend with an early Tier-4 golden jade eagle.
After all, the gap between them was two major realms.
Lu Qingyang wasn't even sure if he could handle an early Tier-3 beast with his current cultivation.
Let alone an early Tier-4.
"After the baptism of immortal blood, the cultivation of all demonic beasts will significantly increase!"
"I must strive to improve myself during this opportunity to ensure my safety."
"Otherwise, I will face even greater difficulties in the future!"
The power of the immortal blood was immense. Lu Qingyang could use it to break through, and other fierce beasts would naturally do the same.
...
"Blood rain again. Not long ago, the Ten Thousand Mountains showed anomalies. It seems this emerging secret realm is indeed related to this place."
A middle-aged general clad in armor gazed solemnly at the ancient mountains ahead.
Behind him, the army stood in strict formation, each holding standard weapons, their faces exceptionally stern.
At this moment, a young man in simple clothes also had a serious expression.
"Since ancient times, the Ten Thousand Mountains have been mysterious and unpredictable. It's said that the Myriad Beasts Mountain within it is the king of all mountains."
"Now, with the emergence of a secret realm in the Ten Thousand Mountains, do you think a Tier-4 demonic beast will be born, Commander?"
Tier-4 demonic beast!
These words sent a shock through everyone's hearts.
The commander, addressed as "Commander," shook his head slightly after hearing this.
"A Tier-4 demonic beast has never appeared before, but the Ten Thousand Mountains have always been mysterious. It's possible that a Tier-4 demonic beast could emerge."
"Compared to other mysterious realms, the Ten Thousand Mountains are unique."
"Now, top cultivators are gathered here to guard this place. Even if a Tier-4 demonic beast appears, we have the strength to fight."
With these words,
The commander fell silent.
However, these words were merely to boost morale.
Although a Tier-4 demonic beast had never appeared,
The presence of Tier-3 demonic beasts was enough to speculate on the terror of Tier-4.
The commander's words were just to uplift the spirits of his troops.
Someone lamented.
"Unfortunately, the Celestial Treasures have all been exhausted. The newly crafted ones are not yet ready. If we had them, even a Tier-4 demonic beast might not escape alive."
At these words,
Everyone, including the commander, fell into silence.
They recalled the blood rain fifteen years ago when demonic beasts frequently appeared on the land.
It caught humanity off guard, and only by rallying high-end forces with all their might did they gain a chance for survival.
If not for that,
The demonic beasts would have already wiped out humanity, and there would be no rise of cultivators today.
"Besides the Ten Thousand Mountains, I'm more worried about whether this blood rain will produce even stronger demonic beasts."
"After all, the last blood rain significantly boosted many demonic beasts' cultivation."
The commander sighed, remembering the initial appearance of demonic beasts during the endless blood rain.
He had witnessed a beast break through its cultivation in the blood rain and then easily wipe out an army of ten thousand.
If not for the desperate use of Celestial Treasures to counterattack, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
As they spoke, a massive disturbance erupted in the Ten Thousand Mountains ahead.
Dense, web-like cracks appeared in the space before them, a terrifying sight.
Witnessing this,
The commander and his men grew even more solemn.
They all understood that their worst fears were coming true.
"All units, be on high alert. Once demonic beasts appear, attack immediately!"
"Ensure they don't leave the Ten Thousand Mountains, or it will be a great disaster for humanity!"
