A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 507: Chapter 410: Honey Undergoing Thunder Tribulation

Qi Ping wasn’t very clear about the Power of Destiny either; most records on the Star Sea Continent were superficial, and most have been destroyed.

The only certainty is that this power manifests in individuals as a special and formidable power, but it hasn’t reached an incredible level. Creatures with Destiny Power are not necessarily stronger than cultivators of the same level on the Path of Extraordinary.

What truly makes the Power of Destiny significant is its seemingly intrinsic connection to the world’s origin.

Moreover, Destiny Power isn’t that rare; there are many Four Symbols Divine Beasts possessing the Power of the Four Symbols. Only those with immense Destiny Power can stir the winds and clouds.

"I just don’t know what kind of Four Symbols Destiny the Cyan Dragon has..."

Qi Ping looked at the cyan dragon in the sky, feeling a bit of anticipation in his heart.

For him, the stronger the Destiny Power, the greater the benefits.

Now, he has accumulated enough foundation; the power of an Earth Immortal Druid is his trump card to face any threat. The more animal companions with special destinies he has, the stronger his grasp on power.

Apart from the benefits to the Star Sea Continent, just utilizing the Beast King True Form’s traits allows him to control part of the Cyan Dragon’s power, which will also be a significant boost for him.

Additionally, Qi Ping vaguely sensed that Destiny Power seems to be closely related to all the heavens and myriad realms, and in the future, perhaps to break the mystery of immortality, one must rely on this power.

Qi Ping was indifferent to such intangible matters, but just moments ago, the Cyan Dragon’s burst of special power made him feel something quite different.

He wants to thoroughly understand the essence of this world and forge a path free from any constraints, which likely relies on such a special power.

Qi Ping’s purpose is also very simple: if someone says only by obtaining a certain power can one ascend to immortality, or only by obtaining a certain power can one become immortal... he would never believe it, no matter if these theories are propagated by some individual or authoritative power.

No matter if the whole world claims that obtaining this power allows one to become immortal, and many examples are cited, Qi Ping still would not believe it.

The only thing Qi Ping trusts is his own research and comprehension. He always believes that only by thoroughly understanding every aspect, from top to bottom, from past to future, of this world and the essence of cultivation, can he unravel the ultimate mysteries of power and immortality.

This is not only for truly and completely mastering power but also to avoid being trapped by set traps and baits.

Back then, all the Mahayana stage powerhouses on the Star Sea Continent inexplicably died cleanly, yet Mahayana cultivators on other continents did not seem to suffer significant trauma. If only they were present, allowing the once-prosperous Star Sea Continent to be utterly wiped out so easily, Qi Ping would never believe it.

He has reason to suspect that a deeper reason is hidden behind the scenes, perhaps surpassed Mahayana powerhouses, or perhaps related to the cultivation system, or maybe seeds planted imperceptibly on the path of cultivation long ago.

The more Qi Ping learns, the more he realizes how unfathomably deep the waters of this world are. Even a little inattention could turn him into a mere resource or tool on someone else’s path to immortality. If one were a fool, not even a stronger cultivator is needed to get rid of him; even weaker ones would have countless ways to kill him.

Thus, the higher one climbs, the deeper the waters become. Even a slight misstep for a Void Refining Cultivator can result in a death so clean that not even ashes remain. In the past, Star Sea Continent achieved more Divinity Transformations and Void Refining cultivators far more than now, but many have died inexplicably, most being newly promoted cultivators.

For these issues, even Qi Ping, Meng Tianqi, and Baili Yun, these pinnacle cultivators, don’t know the causes of many cultivators’ deaths.

For the sake of his own and his territory’s safety, Qi Ping even controlled tree-man avatars to investigate, but even he couldn’t explore the true reasons.

What power has caused these newly advanced Divinity Transformation and Void Refining Cultivators to die continuously throughout history?

The death of one or two in a period might not be particularly conspicuous. However, scanning through the entire history, you’ll find that these incidents have occurred repeatedly during different periods—sometimes more, sometimes less but rarely ceased, proving these occurrences are no coincidence.

The truly terrifying aspect is right here. What power, spanning through the entire history, is capable of continuously letting these cultivators die and vanish?

Not to mention the mysterious methods even Qi Ping couldn’t detect, just this power crossing the river of time is enough to astonish people.

There’s no doubt this is an extraordinarily terrifying force, one that even the current Qi Ping cannot handle confidently.

Every time he thinks of this issue, a strong sense of unease brews in Qi Ping’s heart.

Therefore, Qi Ping has never slackened in constantly enhancing and perfecting his life-saving means:

Within his territory, he’s near-invincible as an Earth Immortal Druid.

His Lifebound Spirit Tree, the Yellow Springs Tree, hidden in secretive places, and Qi Ping has even prepared to replace his Life Contract tree with a life spirit wood he cultivated since young, which has immortal level potential, like that Cyan Thunder Bamboo that absorbed Thunder Tribulation Power continuously breaking through from a Tier One spirit wood... Qi Ping feels such a tree that doesn’t involve any cause and effect would be a more suitable life contract spirit wood.
