Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Spirit Finger!

Using the Spirit Finger to guide the Power of Creation, forcibly mutating Hua Lao and the Red Maple Ancient Tree.

Xu Zhangqing gazed at Hua Lao, whose aura was growing increasingly faint, a faint green light rising from his fingertip: "Hua Lao, I will use the Spirit Cultivation Technique to mutate you together with the Red Maple Ancient Tree.

This is the only path to survival, and the only method."

Finishing his words, he condensed the Power of Creation in his palm, overlaying it with the Cang Ming Withering and Flourishing Dao Rhyme: "Although this finger technique is already at Full Level, the mutation probability is extremely low; even with all manner of support, it may not succeed in a short time.

But as long as it succeeds, you and the Ancient Tree will be able to break free of your shackles and obtain greater power."

Hearing this, Hua Lao was deeply moved: "Changqing, regardless of success or failure, this old man thanks you."

After all, he had been calling out here for a very, very long time.

Yet the only one who heard and was willing to come was the single person before his eyes.

He did not believe those Sect High Levels had not heard; they simply were unwilling to come.

Xu Zhangqing hesitated no longer; the green light at his fingertip surged, the Full Level Spirit Finger aimed at the sphere wrapping Hua Lao's Divine Soul, and stabbed down fiercely: "Activate!"

The green light was like silk, winding around the Ancient Tree's withered dryness and the sphere's cracks, attempting to guide the origin power of both, forcibly mutating them.

However, in the next second, the surrounding Black Turbid Qi, Bone-Chilling Killing Qi, and Sky-Soaring Resentment Qi suddenly surged wildly, like hungry wolves pouncing on prey, devouring the green light.

The Ancient Tree's trunk shuddered violently, and a few more gray, withered leaves drifted down.

Hua Lao's features blurred once more, his aura so weak it was nearly dissipating.

Xu Zhangqing's brows knitted tightly, his fingertip even turning numb: "It failed."

That Disaster Evil Qi just now had actually interfered with the Spirit Finger's Dao Rhyme, shattering the mutation opportunity.

He did not give up; taking a Deep Breath, he once more reinforced the Cang Ming Withering and Flourishing Dao Rhyme, the green light at his fingertip lighting up again, casting the Spirit Finger a second time.

This time, the green light barely pierced through the Disaster Evil, seeping into the Ancient Tree and the sphere, a faint, subtle wave faintly transmitting.

Right at this Critical Moment, the Killing Qi condensed once more, submerging the connection between the green light and the Ancient Tree.

Xu Zhangqing's face darkened: "Still no good."

But he knew clearly in his heart, he absolutely could not stop.

Hua Lao's aura was growing weaker and weaker, the Red Maple Ancient Tree's vitality also flowing away rapidly.

Once, twice, three times... day after day.

Just like this, Xu Zhangqing held his ground in Hongfeng Valley for a full Three Days.

He did not know how many times he had cast the Spirit Finger; the green light at his fingertip went from brilliant to dim, the Cang Ming Withering and Flourishing Dao Rhyme around his body also growing increasingly thin.

Yet the result was without exception; every time ended in failure.

Sometimes, the green light was devoured by the Disaster Evil.

Sometimes, the mutation had just begun when it was interrupted by the Resentment Qi.

Sometimes, it even triggered a faint unfavorable mutation.

But whenever there was the slightest sign of mutation, in the end it would all be interrupted by the Disaster Evil.

On the evening of the third day, Xu Zhangqing sat cross-legged, circulating the Return to Origin Art to recover his magic power, his mind repeatedly pondering the reasons for failure.

"Spirit Finger Full Level!"

"Beneficial mutation and Survival Rate both have buffs!"

"Logically, it shouldn't be like this..."

He looked toward the surrounding rolling Disaster Mist, his gaze suddenly turning Pure Brightness.

Right, it's the environment!

This place is now shrouded by Turbid Qi, Killing Qi, and Resentment Qi.

His own Air Luck is obscured, even the Spiritual Energy is Corrupted.

And the casting of the Spirit Cultivation Technique inherently relies on Spiritual Energy and Air Luck.

Such a harsh environment not only suppresses his Dao Rhyme, but also interferes with the mutation opportunity; even with the finger technique's effect buffs, it is difficult to break through the Disaster Evil's shackles.

Xu Zhangqing sprang to his feet, green light surging around his body, he shouted: "Only by tearing open a gap can the Spirit Finger be cast.

Creation Dharma Aspect, open!"

The human-faced, bird-bodied Dharma Aspect moved, the Twenty-Four Solar Terms light wheels spinning rapidly.

The intertwining green-blue Cang Ming Withering and Flourishing Dao Rhyme surged out like a tide, spreading a massive Barrier beneath the ground of Hongfeng Valley, forcibly Isolating the surrounding Disaster Evil Qi outside.

The Dharma Aspect raised its great hand, the Creation Brush condensing the ultimate Power of Creation, stabbing down ruthlessly.

This was not an attack, but using the Power of Creation to tear open a gap unpolluted by Corruption.

Hum~

The gap appeared; Pure Spiritual Energy swarmed in, fusing with the Cang Ming Withering and Flourishing Dao Rhyme, forming a temporarily unpolluted Pure Land.

Xu Zhangqing's eyes flashed, the green light at his fingertip surging once more: "Spirit Finger!"

The nine major effects and three Special Effects of the Full Level Spirit Finger, under the support of Pure Spiritual Energy, with the assistance of unpolluted Air Luck, now fully erupted.

Lingti Mutation Rate +5%

Beneficial Mutation Probability +40%

Mutation Stability +50%

Special Mutation Probability +10%, the fingertip green light guiding the Spiritual Energy, lowering the Red Maple Ancient Tree's defect rate by 25%, and even correcting the unfavorable mutation traces remaining from before.

Green light surged into the Ancient Tree and the Sphere like a long river; this time, the Disaster Evil Qi was isolated by the Barrier, no longer able to interfere.

The Red Maple Ancient Tree's withering began to tremble, its gray and withered leaves gradually shedding their dullness, unexpectedly glowing with an interwoven green and red luster.

The Sphere underground, its cracks slowly healing, Hua Lao's features became Qing Chu, his Divine Soul aura also steadily recovering.

The origin power of the two, under the Spirit Finger's guidance, blended and intertwined.

At this moment, it was no longer forced Symbiosis, but a fusion into one.

Sizzle!

A dazzling green-red light erupted from the Ancient Tree's roots, then shot straight into the clouds, not only piercing through the Barrier Xu Zhangqing had laid down, but even colliding with the surrounding Disaster Mist, unexpectedly purifying part of the Disaster Evil Qi into faint Spiritual Energy.

Xu Zhangqing held his breath, staring intently at the changes before him.

A moment later, the light dispersed.

A brand new Lingti stood in the depths of Hongfeng Valley.

It was no longer a simple Red Maple Ancient Tree; now the Tree Trunk was lustrous like Jade, interwoven with green, red, and gold three-colored Spirit Patterns.

The green patterns contained Cang Ming water rhyme,

The red patterns contained Red Maple origin,

The gold patterns contained Hua Lao's Divine Soul.

The leaves were of a green-to-red gradient color, with faint gold light flowing through their veins.

Every leaf that fell could purify the surrounding Disaster Evil Qi.

At the treetop condensed a tiny flower bud, faintly pulsing with soul resonance.

Hua Lao's Consciousness, perfectly intact, fused into this Lingti.

Xu Zhangqing let out a breath, his figure Staggering Run slightly, the consecutive days' Consume finally leaving him a bit limp: "Done... really done!"

Hua Lao's voice came from within the Lingti, carrying post-calamity joy, and a thread of Unbelievable: "Changqing, this... this is......"

Xu Zhangqing smiled and explained: "This is a special mutated Lingti catalyzed by the Full Level Spirit Cultivation Technique, named the Growth and Withering Maple Soul Tree."

It takes the Red Maple Ancient Tree as base, Hua Lao's Divine Soul as soul, Cang Ming Growth and Withering as rhyme, perfectly fusing Wood-element and soul dual attributes.

Moreover, due to the special mutation, it awakened the ability to purify Disaster Evil.

It not only matches the Spirit Finger's dual attribute mutation and special mutation effects, but also perfectly solves the Disaster Evil interference in this place.

More importantly, Hua Lao's Divine Soul is thoroughly fused, no longer the reluctant Symbiosis of "tree dies then soul dies," but truly Fuse Into One with the Growth and Withering Maple Soul Tree.

Tree lives then soul exists, tree strong then soul strong.

Even able to borrow the Lingti's power, there is a chance to transform again.

The Growth and Withering Maple Soul Tree trembled lightly, leaves rustling, as if Hua Lao was nodding in thanks!
