Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 2115 A Way for Plants to Survive

Chapter 2115  A Way for Plants to Survive

Sunheart continued pumping her Qi into the tree for a time while Alex just stood back and observed. After what felt like a long time, she finally stopped, moving her palm away from the tree.

She looked extremely tired by the end of it all. The Creation that was previously lacking in aura, now pulsed vigorously with it. Alex could feel a sense of mild Yang aura coming from the tree. It was, in a sense, alive.

Alex placed his palm back on it, feeling the life from it.

“What exactly did you do, Elder?” Alex asked.

“I made it real,” Sunheart said. Alex didn’t understand what she meant exactly. His confused face was reason enough for her to continue with her explanation.

“There are some types of Creations that cannot be used by themselves. You instead need to use your Qi to give it a physical form so it can be used. I mostly use just the vines or the leaves of the Creation when I have the chance, but this time around, I used the trunk, roots, and branches.”

“What you saw before was a Creation of mine, but on its own, it was useless. Now that I have poured Qi into it, I can finally make use of it as I want to.”

The branches of the tree began moving around, slamming on either side of Alex. They were like octopus but with more arms.

The tree stopped moving and the branches returned back to their position. “As you can see, I can use them,” she said. “But… that is not all. What you see right now is my Creation, but the tree is also its own thing.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Sunheart made a gesture with her hand and a small flash of light made its way into her body from the tree. The tree suddenly seemed a lot more duller, but not as much as beforehand.

“As you can see, now that I have taken away my Creation, the tree remains. It’s not strong anymore and I cannot control it, but it is a tree. It is a Sunheart Amberwood tree.”

The understanding of what was happening slowly dawned on Alex. “You… you just created this tree out of nothing,” he said.

“Out of my Creation,” Sunheart said. “But I suppose you can call that ‘nothing’. It wasn’t a physical matter beforehand, so yes, I created it out of nothing.”

“Is this… a normal Amberwood tree now?” Alex asked, his heart beating faster and faster.

“Of course, it’s not normal,” Sunheart said. “But that doesn’t mean it’s not real. You do not know this, so let me tell you. In the entire Myriad Spirit realm, I am the sole supplier of the Sunheart Amberwood leaves. And every single one of those leaves come from my Creation I turn real.”

Alex breathed faster and faster. “You can make as many of them as you want, can’t you?” he asked.

Sunheart nodded. “Sometimes, I wonder if this is why plants strive to become Immortal. After becoming Immortal, should they reach Divinity, their survival is guaranteed. Even if every single other plant in the species is gone, should that one Divinity remain, they can make as many more as needed.”

Sunheart had a solemn look as she said that. “And no, it’s not easy. It takes quite a bit out of me to make them, especially when I have to create the entire thing.”

Alex was still stunned by the information, but he nodded nonetheless. “I understand,” he said. “Is that why you made it without the leaves?”

“No,” Sunheart said. “That’s because you don’t need the leaves.”

Alex paused. “Sorry?” “You wanted materials for your body cultivation, didn’t you?” she asked.

“… Yes?”

Sunheart slammed her palm onto the tree and it exploded into a thousand different fist-sized chunks, many becoming splintered wood. Not even the root underneath the ground remained. They all shattered.

“There you go. Your materials.”

Alex looked at Sunheart and then the pile of wood next to her feet.

“Will that be enough?” she asked. “Unlike matter created with just Qi which disappears after some time, these created through a Creation are permanent. I can also assure you that these woods are far stronger than any metal ore you can feasibly gain with your current standing.”

Alex picked one up to test and no doubt they were strong. Far stronger than any of the ores he had come into contact with recently. The splinters were also very sharp. He might end up looking like a hedgehog at the end of it all.

“These are incredible, Elder Sunheart. Thank you. Truly.”

Sunheart smiled. “You are the most talented disciple our sect has seen in a long time. This is just an investment on my part. Do not disappoint us.”

“I won’t,” Alex said.

Sunheart nodded. “Did you need anything else?” she asked.

Alex shook his head. He had received all that he needed. “Alright, take all of this wood and fix the ground before you go. I will leave first.”

Alex watched the elder leave and looked down at the wood he needed to gather. He still couldn’t believe what he had just witnessed.

Creation had turned into matter that was permanent. That sort of thing was possible, huh? ‘A way for plants to continue living,’ Alex thought. Could either of the trees in his Soul Space probably do that?

The World Tree most likely wouldn’t, but the Nine Yang Divine Tree…

“That’s too much for me to know right now. If it happens, it’ll happen.” He ignored all the other thoughts that were surfacing in his mind for a later time. For now, he needed to gather these wood shards and leave.

Alex left the ground as close to as it was before the tree had been there. He had the Dao of Earth. So it made controlling the ground easier, but not that much. Most of it was just his Qi.

Once he was done, he left the Sunheart Peak and returned back to his cave.
