Chapter 283: Tiny Tree
That final month seemed to take the longest, and when the third leaf finally reached its full size, there was a change. The three leaves started to glow a soft white light while the small veins upon their surfaces lit up with a gentle golden glow. With the golden light to distinguish them it was now apparent there was a different sort of pattern to them. The glow didnt fade, but the small veins began to shift. With a subtle shift, they were now a pattern that Sage could recognize. Ancient Array Symbols looked like more complicated and exquisite versions of the common Array Symbols everyone uses. These symbols that were forming seemed to have a similar relationship with Ancient Array Symbols. Without his knowledge of Ancient Array Symbols from Tao Ba, Sage would not have so easily recognized them.
Hmm that looks like: Heaven, Earth, and Man.
As he thought to this point, the veins stopped shifting and the three leaves glowed an even greater and brighter light. The Seed of Life split apart completely, the stalk carrying the leaves grew larger, and roots expanded from the rest of the seed, completely destroying its previous appearance. No longer a seed, should he call it Tree of Life, now? In the Daoist ideology, the Dao begets one. One begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. Some claim it to be: Dao produces unity; unity produces duality; duality produces trinity; trinity produces all things. The energy of the heavens, yang, flows down to the earth, yin, which collects and sends it back up. This forms all of life, including all of humanity. So forms the trinity of heaven, earth, and man. Divinity, nature, and humanity. The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
The roots of the small tree continued to expand at a rapid rate, soon reaching the edge of the glowing light and extending past it. They didnt stop there, his Dantian soon covered by a mass of roots, each small tendril branching into many more. When they reached the limits of his Dantian they sunk into the walls. Sage observed this new development very closely with his Spiritual Sense. Surprisingly, the tendrils didnt extend into his meridians, nor did it move into his physical body. Instead, he felt the energy of his aura shifting. He could feel their influence there, but a few moments later they reached the edges of his aura.
The roots didnt stop expanding. They were growing denser and denser within his Dantian. He began to grow worried at what might happen when they completely filled it. Would he have any room left to even store any energy? All of a sudden, the roots began to fade away. They werent being destroyed or moving, but they gained a sort of transparency. Soon, he couldnt see them all. All the roots that had flooded his Dantian were gone. Did they enter another dimension? Were they illusions? Just invisible? The only thing they left behind was a strange root like pattern on the outer walls of his Dantian.
The first step of advancing into Core Formation was to collect the Sea of Qi into the foundation. That had formed the small tree of life. The second step was to create the core. The tiny tree had grown to full size and created this little planet and the core of energy within. If this little green barrier was truly his core, then all that remained was the third step, fusing the soul. Sage hesitated.
This was the moment of truth, and the only part that was truly dangerous for him. The technique he used to return from the dead, Soul Spawn, was the transfer of his soul into an egg. If his physical body was destroyed, as long as his soul survived he could be reborn. To complete his advancement, he would need to fuse his soul into the core. Failure at this stage could damage or even destroy his soul. It was rare, but it happened to other cultivators in the past.
Its time, as they say, to go big or go home.
The options in front of him were to proceed with the third step, or destroy his cultivation and get rid of the Seed of Life. Since hed already refined the Blue Icesilver, he could likely keep control over it, but the other Heavenly Materials would probably need to be sealed up. Most Cultivators could only control one of them. The most powerful and skilled would have special methods to allow them to control more, and usually only of the same type. Most likely if he lost the Seed of Life hed lose all the other Heavenly Materials. Sage didnt have any good methods to seal them up. If he was lucky, perhaps he could push them all into the Universe Ring and Tao Ba could do something about them.
I cant allow myself to become complacent. Ive had a safety net for quite some time now, but I cant let that destroy my drive. I started out very weak, and the little courage I had got ground away into a will to survive. Those years were hellish until I finally found peace with the Holy Flame Sect. After a period of convalescence I mustered my courage once more and that led to great changes. The bad came along with the good, but that was when I gained the safety net of rebirth. Its led me to take some risks without worrying about the consequences, but now is a time I cannot falter.
