A life of leisure is worse than a life of flowers and splendour

I'd thought it was tough to fight, but when it did, it felt like cutting tofu. Of course, there were also some really hard creatures that were impossible to cut, let alone tofu. For example, there was a turtle with an extremely hard shell, relying on its green fur, and the clam that could block divine sense detection. The hardness of its shell was comparable to that of a divine artifact, something that even Biyun couldn't break. Of course, there was a way to deal with them, and that was to put them into the Duobao Bracelet and let the little bracelet handle them.

Some were exceptionally agile, and these animals were generally large and powerful, forcing Wushuang to find a way to get close. But after a month, no matter what monster he encountered, any that moved quickly fled. Wushuang couldn't even touch a hair, not even encountering a turtle or a clam. Luckily, he'd already acquired a monster for transportation: a killer whale. Of course, it hadn't volunteered, but had been beaten into obedience. It was fast and quite comfortable to ride.

Half a year later, Wushuang finally reached the shore. After serving as his means of transportation for so long, Wushuang finally chose to release the killer whale.

Finally I have my feet on solid ground. Well, I have stepped on solid ground on the seabed before, but due to the buoyancy of the water in the sea, the feeling is always a little worse.

After landing, Wushuang's gaze was captivated by the vast expanse of giant trees in the distance. From afar, the forest, lush and verdant, resembled a vast, rolling green ocean. Even more astonishing, Wushuang discovered that these trees appeared to be extremely rare and ancient spiritual woods! Many of these species were considered rare treasures, even in the world of immortal cultivation.

Take, for example, the Soul-Nourishing Tree. This wood possesses miraculous properties for nourishing and restoring a cultivator's soul, yet its presence is practically nonexistent in the current world of immortal cultivation. The tiny piece of Soul-Nourishing Tree in Wushuang's hands is a precious relic left behind by an ancient female cultivator who had attempted to possess her body for countless millennia. But who could have imagined that right here, the Soul-Nourishing Tree existed not as a single, scattered piece, but as a dense, lush forest! This was an incredible miracle, and it would surely have shocked the entire world of immortal cultivation.

That's truly the finest Spirit Gathering Wood! This rare wood is the dream of weapon refiners. Not only can it be used to craft the Thousand Gold Wood, essential for crafting magical spaceships that can travel across worlds, but it's also the perfect choice for crafting powerful warding-off artifacts capable of warding off evil and protecting their owners. Even more astonishingly, this Spirit Gathering Wood can be used to refine the Ten Thousand Year Purple Thunder Bamboo, a spiritual artifact capable of attracting lightning and harnessing its power. Besides these exceptionally fine spiritual woods, this place also boasts a vast variety of spiritual fruit trees. Each one is laden with enormous fruit, each one several times larger than Wushuang's! It's as if these fruits contain endless spiritual energy and vitality; the mere sight of them is mouth-watering. Imagine the exquisite taste of biting into one of these fruits! Or perhaps refining them into elixirs would yield benefits beyond imagination. The sheer number of these exceptional spiritual woods and enormous spiritual fruits is truly breathtaking!

Wushuang was like a mouse in a rice jar, her eyes sparkling with happiness. Every day, she toiled diligently with her shuriken to chop down the sacred trees. Some were so hard they couldn't be cut, so Wushuang resorted to digging, removing the soil along with the firewood. Wushuang didn't know how long she'd been there, but it was a long, long time. She took whatever she could find, even unearthing nests of bird eggs, each one much larger than herself. Imagine how she chopped down and dug trees, like an ant digging a hole...

Of course, as a cultivator in the middle Jindan stage, a sword imbued with spiritual power was no match for an ant, but it would still take days to chop down a tree or dig out an entire one. He didn't know if he'd ever return to this secret realm again. Wushuang wanted to take one or two of each, whether he could use them or not, to leave seeds for the current Tianyuan Continent. It seemed his ancestors' sending him here wasn't accidental, and it must have been a difficult journey. He'd devoted himself to the Tianyuan Continent, giving everything he had. He should at least do what he could, even if it was just a little tiring. He could do it. Besides, he was also a beneficiary, wasn't he?

There are monsters here, but they're all tough and sturdy, making them difficult to provoke. Instead, you can use them to knock down spiritual trees, significantly increasing your harvesting speed. For example, the mountain-pushing beast is truly formidable. It can knock down Thousand Gold Wood, which you can't even chop down yourself, with a single push, and it can even rip apart a massive swathe! And it's incredibly easy to provoke. Wushuang has stored a number of boulders in his ring. Standing on a giant tree, he throws them at it, and it rushes straight at you, charging headfirst into you. If you don't succeed once, try twice—it's guaranteed to work.

Wushuang followed the mountain-pushing beast for over a month, until it lay on the ground, nearly dead, after being teased by her. Wushuang planned to wait until it had recovered and continue using it. With it, her speed in collecting spiritual wood had increased by over a hundred times.

Wushuang has also used it on other monsters, but generally it can only be used three to five times. After that, no matter how you provoke or anger them, it will be useless. The most useful one is the mountain-pushing beast, but it's a pity that I have only encountered this one in such a long time.

During his rest time, Wushuang would search for easy spiritual objects to harvest, and also look for the next spiritual tree to harvest. Over the past year, Wushuang had plundered the entire forest, harvesting a good amount of each spiritual tree and even planting some in his space.

The rings around her waist were full, and Wushuang threw them back into the ring space. After calling back the little raccoon who was playing outside, Wushuang prepared to leave the forest. However, this time, Wushuang had no intention of letting the mountain-pushing beast go free. It was so hard to capture such a giant beast. Of course, there were others, but she could only deal with smaller ones, such as the short-tailed rabbit, the three-tailed golden pheasant, the rhinoceros ox, the red-flame horse, and so on. The others were too large, and their defenses were difficult to break. The key was that they were too big and ran fast. Even with her flying sword, she might not be able to catch them.

If this mountain-pushing beast hadn't exhausted itself to death, it would have been difficult for Wushuang to get close to it. Although they look big, they are very alert!

Normally, they wouldn't cause any trouble if they passed by you, but once Wushuang charged at them, they would immediately become alert, instantly jumping away and keeping their distance. I had no idea how they'd noticed me, given how small I was compared to them, and why they cared so much about me.

"Master, they are particularly sensitive to danger. Although you are small, your aura is very powerful. Naturally, they will stay away from you." The little nightmare beast, which had not spoken for a long time, spoke. If it hadn't spoken, Wushuang would have almost forgotten that he even had such a beast! Mainly because since the contract with the master, it has been busy eating every day, immersed in blissful eating every moment! In the thousands of years since its birth, it has never been so happy! It found that it had grown a lot and was very happy!

"Hey, Xiao Meng! Do you have any way to confuse them and make them come to us on their own initiative?"

"Huh? I'm not sure about this, but I can give it a try."

Wushuang was delighted by the scene that followed. The giant beasts gathered around him like fools, and Wushuang wasted no time in catching them. Soon, the farm was full, and Wushuang selected the best meat and slaughtered it on the spot. Of course, he wanted to let Xiaomeng have a good meal first, so as not to waste any meat. Then, he slaughtered and processed the meat and stored it in the storage space for future consumption.

During the slaughter process, Wushuang discovered that some animals also possessed a bead within their heads. Demonic beasts in the realm of immortal cultivation, upon reaching the third level, also possessed beast crystals, spherical lenses of varying sizes that condensed the demonic beast's lifetime cultivation. However, the demonic beasts here didn't cultivate, so the origin of this bead was unknown, but it was undoubtedly a treasure. It held immense energy and spiritual power; it was undoubtedly a treasure!

Naturally, Wushuang wouldn't miss out on the treasures, and while killing beasts, he collected a lot. But this process didn't last long, and Xiao Meng could only sustain it for a day at most, and that was only possible with the constant supply of the beasts' emotions and mental energy. Otherwise, relying solely on itself, it wouldn't last even an hour.

But Xiao Meng said that it was also growing in the process, and that it would be able to maintain its power for longer and longer periods of time, becoming increasingly powerful. After Xiao Meng withdrew her power, Wushuang quickly evacuated. Otherwise, the strong smell of blood here would probably attract countless powerful monsters, and he didn't want to be beaten by a group of them.

The monsters not controlled by Xiao Meng are very powerful. Many are much stronger than me based on their physical strength alone. A head-on fight won't give me the advantage, but we can outsmart them. Once Xiao Meng has rested, we can continue our slaughter!

Wushuang finished ravaging the forest beasts until he had filled himself up with food, and then he left the forest. The entire forest breathed a sigh of relief, as this living ancestor was finally gone!

There is no limit on flying here. Wushuang flew high on his flying sword, wanting to take a look at the terrain here and see if he could find where the node is.

I didn’t find the Wushuang node, but I discovered a very special place!
