The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1089 - Chapter 1089 Chapter 1088 Sacred Tree Enlightenment

Chapter 1089: Chapter 1088: Sacred Tree Enlightenment Chapter 1089: Chapter 1088: Sacred Tree Enlightenment “Kid, my physical body has recovered partially. Continuing to absorb Sacred Qi is useless now.” Half a month later, Old Dried Corpse spoke up, stopping the absorption of Sacred Qi.

As a result, only the Kylin Demon Bone continued to absorb Sacred Qi.

Similarly, without Old Dried Corpse snatching away Sacred Qi, the Kylin Demon Bone could absorb even more Sacred Qi. Ten days later, even the Kylin Demon Bone stopped absorbing Sacred Qi.

Fang Lin could feel that within the Kylin Demon Bone was an immensely vast amount of Sacred Qi, all absorbed during this period, and yet to be refined.

With such a vast quantity of Sacred Qi, the Kylin Demon Bone had also reached its limit and couldn’t continue absorbing. It had to first refine the Sacred Qi stored within or perhaps it might be able to continue absorbing afterward.

This situation allowed He Jinfeng and the man with the dark face to absorb more Sacred Qi, restoring them to their former condition, and giving them a sigh of relief.

If they had kept losing most of the Sacred Qi to Fang Lin for these two months, they would probably have gone mad.

As Sacred Qi re-entered his body, Fang Lin endured great pain. His expression twisted, his body trembling.

“What’s wrong with this guy? Didn’t he already get past that stage? Why is he showing a pained expression again?” He Jinfeng and the others were puzzled at the sight of Fang Lin.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven also found it strange. It had been almost a month, so why had Fang Lin entered this stage again? It was too bizarre.

“Kid, just give up. You can’t withstand the Sacred Qi, and the Kylin Demon Bone has already absorbed so much; it should be enough,” Old Dried Corpse advised, urging Fang Lin to give up.

Fang Lin did not respond and continued to grit his teeth and persevere. He somewhat disbelieved it; could he really not withstand the so-called Sacred Qi?

Intense pain impacted Fang Lin’s body and spirit. His consciousness grew increasingly blurry, barely aware of the outside world, with only a trace of clarity remaining.

Even that faint clarity was like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

The more Sacred Qi accumulated inside him, the more intense Fang Lin’s pain became. Yet, Fang Lin could neither refine it nor adapt to the agony brought on by the Sacred Qi.

Fang Lin could not hear the outside world, feel the movement of the grass in the wind, or even see clearly anymore. In his blurred vision, it seemed as if there was something warm trickling down from his nose and mouth.

Fang Lin knew he was bleeding from his nose and mouth, a sign that his body was reaching its limit and on the brink of collapse.

“Although I don’t know what happened to this Fang Lin, by the looks of it, he seems about to give in,” the man with the dark face said with a cold laugh.

He Jinfeng frowned, watching Fang Lin, saying nothing, just feeling that something was very wrong.

Apart from Fang Lin, the other seven people were filled with Sacred Qi circulating within, continuous and profound, as an unfathomable aura emanated from them.

The Sacred Qi caused a fundamental transformation from within them; their physical strength had greatly increased, with Sacred Qi concealed within their bodies.

Only Fang Lin, despite the constant flow of Sacred Qi into his body, had not refined even the slightest bit of it. Thus, Fang Lin was like a leather bag, continuously storing Sacred Qi, but it didn’t belong to him and could even cause his body to collapse.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven’s brows furrowed tightly. Fang Lin’s condition meant he could no longer continue cultivating here. Although somewhat disappointed, it was necessary to take Fang Lin out now to prevent severe injuries from the Sacred Qi.

Just as the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was about to take action, a sudden light illuminated from the Sacred Tree above.

“Hmm? The Sacred Tree is sentient, about to bestow Heaven and Earth Insight!” said the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, somewhat surprised.

The golden light atop the Sacred Tree shifted continuously over the seven figures beneath it, with an air of excitement and anticipation in the expressions of He Jinfeng and the dark-faced man, tinged with a trace of nervousness.

It was the first wave of Heaven and Earth Insight, and whomever it landed upon would be favored by the Sacred Tree, making it easier for them to comprehend the Heavenly Tao.

The light kept shifting until finally, it settled upon a ragged figure.

Fang Lin!

No one had expected that the Sacred Tree’s first wave of enlightenment would choose Fang Lin of the Human Clan!

The moment the golden light touched Fang Lin, all his pain vanished instantly, and before his eyes it seemed he could see everything between heaven and earth, as if he could see beyond the stars.

“This kid has hit the jackpot!” exclaimed the Old Dried Corpse, utterly astonished. Even he had not expected Fang Lin to be the first to receive the Sacred Tree Enlightenment, especially as Fang Lin couldn’t even absorb Sacred Qi; it was just too strange that the Sacred Tree would bestow Heaven and Earth Insight upon him actively.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven clicked his tongue in wonder. Since the Sacred Tree Enlightenment came to Fang Lin on its own, it meant that he had gained the favor of the Sacred Tree, making all the problems dissolve like ice before a flame.

But this development made the seven Demon Clan prodigies absolutely furious.

Even He Jinfeng, a prodigy of the Demon Clan with a relatively good disposition, looked extremely ugly and couldn’t maintain his composure now.

After all, it was the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree–a lofty symbol belonging to the Demon Beasts. If it were to bestow enlightenment, it should fall upon their kind, the Demon Beasts.

Yet it had fallen upon Fang Lin, a member of the Human Clan–this was nothing less than a colossal irony, making their faces burn with discomfort.

At that moment as the light from the Sacred Tree descended, the vast Sacred Qi within him began to be absorbed by Fang Lin’s body.

“Is this the sensation of Sacred Qi?” Fang Lin mused, feeling the power of the Sacred Qi.

The Sacred Qi was indeed extraordinary; Fang Lin could sense its immense strength, far more potent than Inner Strength.

It was even on par with the Spirit Source wielded by Spirit Source experts, not the slightest bit weaker.

And as the Sacred Qi continued to be absorbed, Fang Lin’s physical body also incrementally improved. Although it wasn’t a drastic change, given the abundance of Sacred Qi, the extent of the enhancement one could anticipate was immense.

Yet for Fang Lin, his greater gain was still the Sacred Tree’s Heaven and Earth Insight.

In front of Fang Lin’s eyes, there was only a tree.

This single tree stood upon a desolate land devoid of life, frail and withered as if it had lost its vitality.

Such a tree, in this barren place, had existed for untold ages; even though the land had lost all life, the dry tree had not truly withered and always retained a sliver of life.

“Could this be the origin of the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree?” Fang Lin murmured to himself, unable to feel his own existence, as if he had become a mere consciousness observing the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree.

Time was indefinable, and beneath that Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, a figure appeared, sitting cross-legged, with their back to Fang Lin.

The moment Fang Lin saw this figure’s back, his mind shook greatly; it wasn’t the first time he’d encountered this silhouette.
