"I can set up a formation to steadily convert and produce holy power for the Elven race to use in their cultivation," Su Wen spoke calmly.
This single condition instantly swayed the surrounding elves.
The Elven Queen was also deeply surprised, not expecting Su Wen to be capable of reaching this point.
"As for Your Majesty, if I were to impart my insights on holy power to you, I wonder if you would be able to master it on your own?" Su Wen inquired.
The Elven Queen shook her head.
She knew that the source of her power was merely the power of nature, not holy power.
While holy power was compatible with the Elven race, it did not mean that cultivating holy power was the proper path for them.
"I see." Su Wen nodded and said, "In that case, I can open up a cultivation ground for the Elven race that is permeated with holy power."
"At the same time, I will personally demonstrate holy power to showcase the profound mysteries of creation, helping your race's Ancient Tree of Life take a step further." Su Wen looked at the Elven Queen and smiled. "I imagine that even for the Ancient Tree of Life, my holy power should be sufficient to have an effect on it, right?"
The Elven Queen's pupils constricted.
She had not expected Su Wen to deduce even this point so accurately.
She had clearly shown no behavior that could have revealed this information.
"Your Majesty, what I pursue has never been mere holy power, but a power of an even higher tier. The Elven race should have records of it--the power of the creation level. Although my holy power has not yet reached that stage, it has already taken a massive step toward Creation Holy Power."
"This would also be a great tonic for the Ancient Tree of Life."
The Elven Queen took a deep breath, pondering whether Su Wen's two conditions were worth it.
The surrounding elders of the Elven race also remained silent.
The conditions Su Wen offered were excellent.
Had there been no prelude, they might have scoffed at such claims. But now, as Su Wen activated his holy power, that aura of creation had already diffused outward, triggering a longing from the deepest depths of every elven bloodline.
Could they claim they didn't desire it while salivating?
"I previously helped the Dragon King reinforce the seal in the Nether Realm, integrating a holy power magic formation to make the seal more stable. Though I didn't obtain a token from the Dragon King before coming here, I believe this should serve as some proof."
With a wave of Su Wen's right hand, a magic formation was instantly laid down.
He did not fully replicate the magic formation the Dragon King used to seal the Lord of the Nether Realm, nor was there any energy flowing through the lines. At this moment, Su Wen merely outlined its general pattern to demonstrate that he had indeed met the Dragon King.
As the Elven Queen looked at Su Wen, her guard slowly dissipated.
Su Wen being able to reinforce the seal was already a massive favor to the entire continent.
After all, the Lord of the Nether Realm was the enemy of the entire continent, and back then, the Elven race had suffered heavy losses fighting against him. In this regard, Su Wen stood on the same front as them, invisibly closing the distance between them.
"I can give you my blood. However, regarding the branches of the Ancient Tree of Life, I cannot make the decision, nor can anyone else in the Elven race. It requires the consent of the Ancient Tree of Life itself," the Elven Queen finally relented.
The surrounding elven elders also breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a chance for cooperation.
While breathing a sigh of relief, they also secretly swallowed their saliva.
"Its own consent?" Su Wen asked in confusion.
"According to what you said, you will personally act to baptize the Ancient Tree of Life with holy power to improve its quality. Although the Ancient Tree does not possess true intellect, it has its own spirituality. If you can make the Ancient Tree willingly split off a part of its body for you, we will not block you in any way."
Su Wen understood.
Looking at it this way, he was actually at a disadvantage.
But it didn't matter.
As long as he could get what he wanted, it was fine. Just like his transactions with the Heavenly Evil Sect and the Blood Red Hell, as long as Su Wen gained something, he could accept the deal provided it wasn't overly lopsided.
This was already a completely different realm of thought.
Having broken free from the level of sweat-the-small-stuff calculations, Su Wen now only wanted to progress further in his own cultivation. He was willing to trade using whatever terms he could fulfill for anything that could bring him inspiration.
Moreover, as long as he was confident in gaining the recognition of the Ancient Tree of Life, he wouldn't be losing out.
The so-called disadvantage lay entirely in the probability of whether the Ancient Tree of Life would proactively split off a part of its body for him. This was a probabilistic event.
Investing without any output would be the ultimate loss.
Yet, Su Wen was confident that he could bring a sufficient transformation to the Ancient Tree to earn its recognition.
Led by the Elven Queen, Su Wen first set up the holy power magic formation deep within this primeval forest.
Dense elemental energy merged into the formation, converting into the profound mysteries of creation, ultimately giving rise to holy power!
That's right, this method was completely different from Su Wen's past techniques.
When Su Wen was previously in the Nether Realm, he still needed to rely on the conversion of the four major holy attributes to complete this step.
During the reinforcement of the seal back then, Su Wen had solidified the four holy attributes in the form of the Book of Rubbings, and then linked the power of the four major holy attributes via a formation, successfully achieving a ceaseless cycle of holy power within the seal.
But it was different now.
He did not fuse attributes to produce holy power; instead, he directly derived holy power from the profound mysteries of creation that he himself had comprehended.
The holy power derived through this method was also much more suitable for the Elven race.
Creation did not belong solely to attributes like water and earth.
Fire, light, darkness--any element was related to creation.
Similarly, any element was also related to destruction.
It was just that comprehending them as opposing forces made it easier to find points of compatibility and opportunities for coexistence.
The power of nature in this sealed land was incredibly dense and abundant; even the aura of life was integrated into every element. In such an environment, while Su Wen set up the formation to evolve his own profound mysteries of creation, his comprehension of creation deepened, and his understanding of the profound mysteries of creation within various elements grew more profound.
The benefit was that his pure profound mysteries of creation became stronger.
The downside was that the balance with the profound mysteries of destruction was disrupted.
He would have to wait until the profound mysteries of destruction also encompassed all elements before he could attempt to integrate destruction back into his holy power once more.
However, this was not a particularly unacceptable situation; in itself, how could this not be considered a form of progress?
With the formation set up, Su Wen followed the Elven Queen to the core of the Elven race's sealed land.
Here, an ancient tree that pierced the heavens propped up the entire space.
Su Wen could feel that this ancient tree connected the entire space and was the core of this whole minor dimension. The ancient tree even connected to the outside world, linking with the main plane of the Heavenly Pearl Star.
Seeing the ancient tree, Su Wen felt he had discovered the source of why the life aura in this space was so remarkably dense.
It wasn't due to the Elven race's modification of the space.
It was the Ancient Tree of Life.
The Ancient Tree of Life was the life core of the entire Heavenly Pearl Star. A minor world constructed with it as the foundation would naturally be dense with the aura of life.
Furthermore, with such a massive Ancient Tree of Life, asking for a small branch shouldn't be considered excessive, right?
