Chapter 266: Planting Spirit Trees
Ding! Congratulations, host, you have learned Divine Art · Future Vision!”
Qin Chuan’s body glowed with astral light as he mastered another divine art.
To check the current duration of his visions, Qin Chuan took out a digital watch and put it on.
Hu—
After taking a deep breath, Qin Chuan activated Future Vision.
An eye grew out in between his eyebrows.
This eye was deep and beautiful. In the pupil, one could see the starry skies of the universe.
At this moment, Qin Chuan saw the passage of time.
There were countless faces on the walls, some he recognized and some he didn’t.
Qin Chuan saw himself, and with a tap of his finger, he entered into his own future.
He was now in omniscient perspective, observing the surroundings and himself.
Qin Chuan placed his attention on the watch on his wrist to see how long he could observe the future.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
At this moment, future Qin Chuan suddenly lifted his head, his eyes darting around as though he was searching for something.
As an omniscient viewer, Qin Chuan saw his future actions and thought he had probably discovered something.
After a while, Qin Chuan felt that the surroundings had become blurry.
He knew that the time was probably up.
Before everything turned completely blurry, he looked at the watch on his future self.
Exactly one minute.
Very soon, Qin Chuan returned to reality.
He glanced at his watch and saw that the time had not passed.
This meant that during the use of [Future Vision], time remained absolutely still.
Within the duration of absolute stillness, he saw a minute of the future.
To outsiders, nothing had changed.
In other words, he saw a minute of the future in one moment.
After understanding the process, Qin Chuan started observing the digital watch on his wrist.
Now the digits on the watch had changed.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
Qin Chuan suddenly felt very uncomfortable, as though he was being watched.
However, this was inside the sect. His existence was equivalent to the Creator here. Who would spy on him?
Because of this, Qin Chuan lifted his head and released his divine consciousness to scan his surroundings. However, he didn’t discover anything.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly thought of something.
“Why am I so stupid!” Qin Chuan laughed bitterly, patting his own head.
He was the reason he felt like he was being watched.
He had used Future Vision to determine how long he could view the future using the watch on his wrist.
If the subjective mind did not realize what would happen in the future and did not change it, then what would happen in the future would still be the same as what had been written in the original script.
Instantly, Qin Chuan came to a realization.
As he had just obtained Future Vision, he was still unadapted, mainly because his subjective consciousness was not used to it yet.
He thought that he would get used to it after using it a few more times.
Soon after,
Qin Chuan left the sect.
Now he had something very important to do—plant trees.
The trees he was planting were naturally [Spirit Trees].
He would plant it in a huge valley beside the Immortal Cultivation University.
There were many array formations set up by Qin Chuan in this area, and he had to check it out multiple times before he could confirm the location.
Qin Chuan came to the valley and made a small pit by his feet. He took out the [Spirit Tree Seed] and threw it into the pit. Then, he filled the pit with soil.
[Spirit Tree Seed] was not an ordinary plant. It would grow slowly without external intervention, and it would take tens of thousands of years just to grow to a sapling.
Over the past few years, Qin Chuan had accumulated a lot of resources.
He took out a hundred superior-grade spirit stones and refined them into pure spirit liquid.
Then, with the Great Spirit Rain Spell, he poured all the spirit liquid into the [Spirit Tree Seed].
Qin Chuan used this method to nurture the tree every day.
After many days, a small mound gradually appeared on the flat soil.
Three months later, a small sapling emerged from the small mound.
After the [Spirit Tree Seed] grew into a sapling, the surrounding spiritual energy quickly became denser.
This change had to do with the [Spirit Tree Sapling] beside Qin Chuan.
Although [Spirit Tree] was only a sapling now, it could already produce as much energy as a stage two spiritual meridian.
It was obvious that a mature [Spirit Tree] would produce an unimaginable amount of energy.
Qin Chuan took in a few breaths of the surrounding spiritual energy, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
His hard work had not gone to waste.
However, in order to make the [Spirit Tree Seed] grow into a sapling, he had exhausted all the spirit stones he had accumulated.
Qin Chuan glanced at his points. He had accumulated over a million points in three months.
He bought some nutrient solutions from the Merchant Shop for [Spirit Trees], and his points dropped to zero.
Qin Chuan smiled bitterly. He felt like a mortgage slave[1] that would be working for [Spirit Tree] for the next three years.
With insufficient points, Qin Chuan could only use his own True Qi to nourish the [Spirit Tree].
One had a lot of True Qi in the Soul Transformation period, but the [Spirit Tree] was a bottomless pit. No matter how much True Qi he injected into it, it was not enough.
Qin Chuan was exhausted every day. As soon as his True Qi recovered, he infused it into the [Spirit Tree].
Day after day, things moved in a cycle.
Qin Chuan repeatedly did the same thing every day.
At the same time.
In outer space, in the Lomerians’ huge spaceship, the warning system suddenly sounded.
“Warning! Warning! The Beast Taming Corps is closing in on us.”
“Warning! Warning! The Beast Taming Corps is closing in on us.”
…
In the control room, the expressions of the Lomerians changed, and the atmosphere became tense.
“How could the Beast Taming Corps discover us? We’ve clearly shaken them off,” someone said in horror.
“Everyone, don’t panic,” Elder Tarot said loudly.
Elder Tarot said calmly, “We shook off the Beast Taming Corps once, we can do it again.”
“But, Elder Tarot, our spaceship’s energy hasn’t fully recovered.
“Now that the Beast Taming Corps is giving chase again, they must have come prepared.
“I’m afraid we are in danger this time.” Elder Qina analyzed.
“That’s right! If the spaceship’s energy hasn’t recovered. We can’t possibly escape the clutches of the Beast Taming Corps.”
“If we can’t escape, we can only fight them.”
“Elder Tarot, while the Beast Taming Corps hasn’t caught up, take the Ancestral Stone and leave.”
Elder Tarot’s expression was grave. He clenched his fists tightly.
He naturally wouldn’t let his clansmen and companions die.
“I think we still have hope,” Elder Tarot said in a deep voice.
Everyone was taken aback as they looked at Elder Tarot.
“What hope?”
Elder Tarot pointed at a green dot on the galaxy map.
That green dot was the planet that Qin Chuan was on.
Elder Tarot said, “The current situation is special. Let’s not care if there are any advanced civilizations on this planet.
“If there is, then we still have a chance of survival.”
“What if there are no advanced civilizations there?”
Elder Tarot said, “As I said, this is only a hope.
“We can’t escape. We have to pin our hopes on this planet.”
“Will they help us?”
Elder Tarot said confidently, “Don’t forget that we have the Ancestral Stone.
“If they are willing to help us, we can share the power of the Ancestral Stone with them. ”
“Shall we head over now?”
“Yes! We don’t have much time left,” Elder Tarot said solemnly.
