#1039 - Acala Realm

On one side of the Yin-Yang Pool, centered around the Golden Tree, the entire space was filled with a rich aura of light and life.

Whether it was the peaceful atmosphere or the energy characteristics of the domain, ordinary people would only feel warmth and vitality upon entering.

Unlike the Dark Blue Silver Domain, the Golden Tree's domain provided altruistic amplification effects.

Within the domain, all allied forces, including the Golden Tree itself, would receive boosts to their strength, increased recovery speed, and, more importantly, enhancements to their will and wisdom.

Those amplified by the domain would be encouraged, and their brains would experience wisdom enhancement, similar to absorbing a low-age spirit bone for the head.

This seemingly subtle, yet extremely terrifying and rare effect, completely elevated the value of this domain and the Golden Tree itself.

For those who valued strength, the previous effects might be more attractive, but for someone like Quan Yi, who valued human wisdom even more, this effect was simply astonishing.

Not to mention, beneath the Golden Tree were researchers studying hybrid plants. These individuals, constantly enhanced in wisdom during their research, would not only see improved efficiency but also a significant increase in the upper limits of their research.

Humans often spark brilliant ideas through the collision of wisdom.

When each individual's wisdom is enhanced and then allowed to interact with others, the resulting sparks might ignite a raging fire.

Moreover, below the research space, the area covered by the tree roots was filled with numerous forging rooms.

Combining the soul-guided metal forging, which heavily relies on individual comprehension and talent, with the Golden Tree's domain, the potential for improvement was immense.

Having weathered the lightning tribulation, the Golden Tree not only tempered its body but also its will.

As this new domain power continuously expanded and touched the adjacent Dark Blue Silver Domain, a fierce collision occurred between the two opposing forces.

The sinister, dark power of devouring clashed with the compassionate, bright power of salvation, erupting in mutual repulsion and attack.

The originally benevolent golden domain ignited with its own sense of wrath, resisting and purifying the evil within the Dark Blue Silver Domain.

For the Sea Emperor, already threatened by the aura of the Bright King, this was a highly provocative act.

Immediately, it controlled its domain, releasing intense devouring power and sinister erosion towards the golden domain.

"I can't devour their aura, but surely I can devour yours?"

The Sea Emperor spoke through gritted teeth, declaring its intentions to its close neighbor.

The Golden Tree's leaves trembled, and it replied to the Sea Emperor in a mature, yet youthful voice: "Young one, as a senior, I advise you not to be impatient.

This is merely the natural expansion of the domain. If it has offended you, I apologize."

Despite the Golden Tree's words, it did not slow down the maintenance of its domain.

On one hand, it was indeed displeased with the Sea Emperor, but more importantly, it could not back down at this moment, or it would leave the impression of being easily dealt with.

Therefore, even if it wasn't going to invade the other's territory, it had to protect its own from being invaded.

Thus, the two domains collided fiercely at the boundary of the Yin-Yang Golden Pool.

Neither side yielded, and although the two domains appeared to be frozen at the dividing line, the battle within was constantly ongoing.

Judging from its aura, the Golden Tree's domain was clearly influenced by the power of the Bright King.

Under the pressure of the external force of the lightning tribulation, it not only successfully internalized the beneficial elements but also combined them with its own characteristics to create its own Bright King power.

"Immovable Bright King Domain."

King refers to the power to control all phenomena.

The Immovable Bright King possesses the ability to eliminate obstacles and remain unshakeable in the face of any difficulty.

At the same time, its manifestation of wrath can frighten and deter evil demons that disturb sentient beings, protecting them from wavering in their good intentions and Bodhi mind on the path of cultivation.

"Those who see my form shall awaken the Bodhi mind."

This is the domain skill of the Immovable Bright King.

As the confrontation between the two domain powers intensified, Jin Shu, overseeing the situation, erected a metal boundary membrane at the dividing line, interrupting their conflict.

"Do not waste the power of the barrier on such meaningless matters."

Jin Shu, with an accent similar to Quan Yi's, spoke, quickly dispelling the fighting spirit in both their hearts.

Faced with the behemoth that was Jin Shu and its terrifying strength, how could they dare to resist?

Moreover, they grew on Jin Shu's body; Jin Shu was to them as the earth was to plants, a mother-like existence.

"Yes!"

Both answered decisively and temporarily ceased their hostilities.

However, they only moved their domains slightly away from the dividing line, without retracting them.

Instead of using the domains for confrontation, they were now used as amplifying skills for themselves, accelerating the overall operation of the barrier.

The energy consumed to maintain the domains was a geometric fraction compared to the benefits they brought.

Even though the consumption was significant, they could leverage the overall Yin-Yang Five Elements Flame Array to generate greater benefits, offsetting the losses and obtaining ample cultivation resources.

Neither chose to transform into human form after weathering the lightning tribulation.

This was because both were clear about the responsibilities Quan Yi had entrusted to them, and they also knew that this would be their path to the heavens in the future.

Ample supply of cultivation resources, the safest and most suitable cultivation environment.

If they chose to transform, all of this would no longer be available to them.

The two hundred-thousand-year plant-type spirit beasts, possessing intelligence comparable to humans, naturally knew the most suitable choice for them.

After suppressing the two, Jin Shu sighed inwardly.

These two fellows were inherently incompatible, and it could only temporarily suppress the conflict, not completely resolve it.

"The future will be difficult!"

Jin Shu shook its head, lowered the isolation membrane, and focused on its own improvement.

With the breakthrough of the wood corner, the overall Yin-Yang Five Elements was further amplified.

During the time Quan Yi and Huo Wu's domain fusion was not yet fully completed, the surge of pure Qi within the barrier, even as each array node and even the Ring-Forming Tower frantically absorbed and stored it.

The excessive pure Qi was about to exceed the storage limit and spread throughout the barrier.

The speed of absorption and digestion could not keep up with the rate of increase of pure Qi.

After all, the barrier was specialized in transformation, not in storage.

At this time, the Sea Emperor, who governed all the Blue Silver Seagrass within the barrier, used the power of the Dark Blue Silver Domain to transform its entire clan into Dark Blue Silver Sea Emperor, absorbing the pure Qi on a large scale.
