Chapter 1825: Retrieving Power, the Blessing of Youth

"Observing" the three or four lively and youthful Life Fields nearby, Xia Duo tried hard to recall that slight palpitation of his Bloodline Power when he was in the Main Plane, wanting to re-ignite it within this body.

But whether it was because the gap between the treant body and human flesh was too great, or some other reason, Xia Duo always felt there was a solid, invisible barrier between him and his Bloodline Power, making it impossible for him to break through no matter what.

As for the Magic Net, Xia Duo had not yet perceived the Magic Net for the time being.

Perhaps because the form of expression was different, the Magic Net appeared in the form of Natural Force from the treant's perspective, but this made things difficult for Xia Duo; at least until he found a suitable entry point, it was hard for him to convert the Magic Net perspective into the one he was familiar with before.

"The key is still to rely on Bloodline Power!"

Xia Duo knew very well that no matter what the form of the Magic Net was, as long as the Bloodline Power was triggered, it would inevitably cause changes in the surrounding Natural Force. Then, he could convert the currently perceived state of Natural Force into the state of the Magic Net based on the corresponding Magic Net state of that specific power in the Main Plane.

This situation was somewhat similar to a linguist traveling to a new place; although they could not understand the local language at first, as long as they found some familiar things or behaviors, they could map their native language to the new language, and then gradually parse the full picture of the new language through communication.

Now, Xia Duo was just missing that little trigger.

"But how exactly should I trigger the Bloodline Power?"

Xia Duo tried for a long time but could never find a clue, and he inevitably felt a bit anxious in his heart, but looking at the little fellow jumping up and down beside him, he felt much calmer.

Thinking that although his bloodline was triggered by his Soul, it also had a great connection with his body; perhaps because of the transition from a flesh-and-blood body to a plant body, the Bloodline Power originating from his Soul had not been completely transformed.

"In the end, I still have to find a way within this treant body!"

Since he was no longer in a state of being completely blind as he was when he first arrived, and at the same time, Xia Duo did not want to easily let go of such a novel and interesting Projection journey.

Turning his attention back into this body he had incarnated into, this time, Xia Duo had one more layer of insight than before. The reason he called it insight was because he was still ignorant and confused for the time being, unable to completely grasp this body.

Perhaps he could start from the internal circulation of the plant!

Thinking this way, Xia Duo determined the root system and nutrient conversion route based on the various Touch sensations he had explored earlier and the fluctuations of his own Life Field.

And the result once again exceeded Xia Duo's expectations; he had originally thought that a tall and flourishing big tree like Xilin should monopolize the nutrients in a considerable area.

But the actual situation was that Xilin only absorbed water!

Moreover, while absorbing water, it would radiate some kind of mysterious power outward in the form of Life Field fluctuations, thereby changing the composition of the Natural Force in a considerable area around it.

Besides this, Xia Duo also discovered a new situation he hadn't noticed before, which was—Xilin's main body seemed to be too closely connected to the surrounding Natural Force!

As he continued to explore, Xia Duo became more and more familiar with this treant body, and naturally, he was able to discover that there were quite a few trees growing around Xilin, and there were also these Elves for comparison.

Clearly, only Xilin was the most special!

Xia Duo felt that he could control the surrounding Natural Force (not a specific power, but the laws and phenomena of the exchange and interference of Life Fields between different lives), but he did not know what consequences rash intervention would cause.

And blindly inducing the surrounding Natural Force like this was just like that linguist stranded in a foreign land choosing to blindly imitate the local language instead of taking the shortcut of parsing the language.

As long as one imitated enough, one could naturally learn the new language in the end, but that would be too slow.

Xia Duo only treated inducing the Natural Force as a last resort; his main target was still his Bloodline Ability. After all, this was too tempting; as long as he could trigger the Bloodline Power, he could immediately convert his Magic Net perspective.

Gradually, as the number of day and night cycles increased, Xia Duo even perceived "Photosynthesis"; faint Positive Energy sprinkled onto his leaves, and was then absorbed and converted.

It was also in this process that Xia Duo saw the dawn of triggering his Bloodline Power.

His own bloodline had elements related to Positive Energy; in the Main Plane, he could even directly sense the 【Positive Energy Plane】.

This was not some Inner Plane dominated by a certain positive energy, but referred to the source of positive energy, or in other words, the general trend of Entropy Decrease of all things in the Universe, corresponding to the general trend of Entropy Increase of negative energy.

Also because of this, the lifespan of his main body had been greatly extended.

And now, in the process of the treant's photosynthesis, he perceived the existence of Positive Energy. As his Perception deepened, he felt that a power that had been lurking and dormant inside this body was slowly waking up.

If he hadn't guessed wrong, he would first awaken Bloodline Ability related to Positive Energy in this treant incarnation, and perhaps he could awaken other abilities later, but that might require him to further control this special treant body.

Sunrises and sunsets, time flew by.

Half a month passed unknowingly. This afternoon, Xia Duo felt that the Bloodline Power lurking in his body had reached the critical point of revival. If nothing went wrong, he would soon be able to retrieve the vast majority of the power possessed by his main body.

And even some special powers that came with the treant body.

Just as he was thinking, Xia Duo suddenly felt a disturbance in the surrounding Natural Force. An Elf who had appeared before came before him:

"Elder Xilin, Master Tuomier sent two harps and asked me to send his regards to you."

Xia Duo did not answer, but his heart stirred. Following the guidance of his instinct, he truly triggered that power he had just perceived that was about to emerge.

The next moment, he saw the surrounding Natural Force change drastically, becoming incomparably harmonious. As for the Elf in front of him, the performance was even more exaggerated; the other party's Life Field, which had already been somewhat declining and dissipating, instantly strengthened and became condensed.

"Elder Xilin, this, this—thank you for your blessing! Xize is deeply grateful!"

From the other party's excited words, Xia Duo realized that he had just done an extraordinary thing. If he hadn't guessed wrong, he should have just extended the other party's life!

Of course, life extension might just be a result. He couldn't see the other party's appearance, but he could roughly guess that the other party should have become younger.

However, after the life extension, Xia Duo also discovered that the other party's Life Field was still unstoppably declining, even faster than before!

In other words, this method of life extension also had a limit; at the very least, there was probably no way for those on the verge of death.

The best plan should be to come once every few years to "maintain" the Life Field, rather than waiting until they were old to come.

This also matched Xia Duo's expectation of Positive Energy life extension; long-term acceptance of low concentration was more effective, while short-term high concentration would most likely only wear away the already limited life force.
