CHAPTER 650: CHAPTER 643: GIVING YOU SOME GOOD STUFF_2

This is what it really feels like to be alive!

The grand ceremony of gifting drew the attention of Qingniao and others who watched.

"Such intense breath of life, yet it doesn’t seem to increase his lifespan. What mysterious cultivation technique is the Venerable Family passing on to Senior Bai?" Even Hu Zhile, who was well-informed, couldn’t understand.

He asked quietly, only to see Yun Mo shake his head and ruffle the feathers on his forehead, "Even Senior Hu doesn’t know, how ignorant must I be to not understand what this is. I can only feel... it surely is something good, Senior Bai’s aura seems stronger."

Qingniao vaguely sensed something touching the remnants of her deepest memories, she stared blankly at the huge whirlwind, images flashing through her mind.

"Life Origin!" Her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, her hands trembling slightly with excitement, "That’s right! It’s that mysterious force! Transmitting one’s powerful Life Origin to others... Brother sure is generous! How many years of cultivation had this accumulation taken, only to give it away..."

Suddenly turning her head, Qingniao asked in a low voice, "Has the big white snake suffered a soul injury?"

Yun Mo dumbfoundedly shook his head, then remembered something, and looked uncertainly towards Hu Zhile, "I recall Senior Bai seemed to have suffered a serious injury? Xiaochuan told me that she was really upset while dealing with Fengdu of the Netherworld."

"Senior Bai never mentions the past but seems to have not only suffered a severe injury but also lost several realms." Hu Zhile nodded and said, "Perhaps only the Venerable Family and Senior Bai know the specifics. The Venerable Family... is truly good to us!"

Thinking of how they were rescued from a dangerous situation on this trip, her eyes reddened with emotion.

Qingniao and Yun Mo nodded in agreement, there’s no doubt about this!

In the courtyard, who among them hadn’t benefited from Jiang Yuan’s kindness? The key was that he would genuinely help without any regard for future gains, silently lending a hand countless times without saying much, and just this mindset earned admiration.

The commotion from gifting 40 points of Life Origin only subsided after a while, the whirlwind dissipated, and a system prompt immediately popped up in Jiang Yuan’s view—[Achievement: Successfully gifted Life Origin for the first time. Reward: Life Origin +100 points]

[Current Life Origin balance: 300 points]

Jiang Yuan: !!!

So there were benefits like this! One must admit, the system is sometimes very generous, but it gets a bit stingy when it comes to Spirit Stones.

Since 100 points allow one resurrection in another world, leave 200 points, and gift 100 points to the contract pet, so he can sooner get rid of the shackles of the original body and become a fully independent living being!

[Less than a month since the last Life Origin gifting, unable to gift again]

Well, there’s a time limit. Let’s wait until next month.

"How do you feel?" Jiang Yuan didn’t feel anything, apart from the grand scale, it was just a change of numbers on the interface, so he was curious if the contract pet receiving the Life Origin felt anything special.

Bai Yunqi felt as if he were dreaming.

Only when the Venerable Family asked, did he awaken from the immense surprise and joy, realizing it’s real! It’s not a dream! The independent life he longed for was quietly and simply fulfilled by the Venerable Family!

"The Venerable Family not only saved me from danger but also granted me Life Origin, allowing me to have a true soul of my own, no longer fearing capricious merging and devouring by the original body. Bai Yunqi could shatter into pieces without repaying this great kindness!" He knelt and gave a profound bow.

Jiang Yuan was not good at handling emotional scenes, especially when others express extreme gratitude for his simple actions, always tongue-tied as to how to respond graciously, so he could only help him up and smile, "No need for formalities between us.

Regarding the matter of your avatar, I thought of giving you more Life Origin after a while to form a truly complete independent life. In the future, you and the original body should discuss it well, ideally parting peacefully; if not... I still hope you can live well."

No matter what, he was the first pet he had accepted, how could he watch him cultivate painstakingly only to have it all dedicated to the original body?

"Thank you, Venerable Family! No more empty words from me, from now on, just watch my actions!" Bai Yunqi bowed deeply again, his heart surging with excitement, the Venerable Family personally hoped for his well-being! With this promise, he would brave the Eighteen Layers of Hell without hesitation!

Yun Mo scratched his head with his wings, curiously asking in a soft voice, "What is Life Origin? Is it similar to lifespan?"

"Of course it’s different!" Qingniao’s eyes were full of longing. "The so-called Origin is a mysterious and powerful force, it’s the foundation of life, active in every being’s body. It’s more exquisite than the soul and lifespan, some say that the Life Origin was a ray of light descending from the Celestial Realm at the birth of life.

This light divides into three parts, one exists in the Celestial Realm; one in the body, and one in the Netherworld. This is the so-called Origin of the Three Realms: Heaven, Human, and Earth. In other words, all beings are initially equal, with the opportunity to become immortals and ascend.

But as the Origin in the body gets obscured by the mortal world, some beings cannot cultivate and will die eventually, with their souls returning to the Netherworld, where the Origins of the Human and Netherworld realms merge to become ghosts, entering reincarnation in the future;

If a cultivator with a strong Life Origin first absorbs spiritual energy to practice their cultivation technique, the Netherworld’s Origin will merge with them, hence the Netherworld’s name disappears. Either they die and their way vanishes, or they can ascend to the Celestial Realm, merge with that Origin, and become a True God!"

Pouring out the content just recalled from the depths of her memory, Qingniao continued eagerly: "However, the world is vast and full of wonders, some cultivators can fortuitously cultivate a powerful Life Origin, which can be given to others to reinforce their soul power or leave the surplus to the Netherworld. If they meet unforeseen death and vanish, they could merge in the Netherworld to become Ghost Cultivators, rising again!"

Hu Zhile and Yun Mo listened in shock, vaguely sensing that this young girl was extraordinary, not expecting her to know such a secret.

Seeing their astonished expressions, Qingniao realized and quickly added: "I just heard about it! Can’t guarantee it’s absolutely true, but I think it makes sense, after all, you all witnessed Brother giving Life Origin to that annoying big white snake, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, the Venerable Family is the best!" Hu Zhile nodded vigorously, her confidence soaring after breaking free from constraints, silently vowing to pursue the great Way of cultivation to the highest realm, by then the secrets of heaven, earth, and humanity will be unveiled!

A big and a small ball of Ice Flame burned fiercely, the progress bar of the task finally reaching 100%!

[Special Task: The Fisherman Gains After the Clam and the Snipe Struggle]

[Task 4: Eliminate all anomalies and completely purify the pollution has been completed. Reward: Fusion rights for this world’s remnants have been issued]

[Do you wish to fuse this world’s remnants with the courtyard? Note: After fusion, it will be in a locked state, and can only be unlocked for use after completing the main storyline tasks. By then, the entire courtyard will become a Secret Realm requiring a Key to enter, with larger and more concealed space, able to be less restricted during Wilderness descent

If choosing not to fuse with the courtyard, upon reaching Level Seven, no new domain will be unlocked, and the courtyard won’t become a Secret Realm space.

Each month there’s a chance to choose and fuse an Unowned Land from the Void with the courtyard, once chosen it cannot be exited or changed, please consider carefully before making a choice]

Jiang Yuan read through line by line, understanding the system’s meaning—if he chose to fuse this piece of land, he would have to wait until next month to fuse a better and larger Unowned Land. Now, explicitly refusing this land would allow him to claim others instantly when encountered.

In other words, from now on, the upgrades and unlocking of the courtyard—what it would be and how large—were determined by him!

He turned to look at the growing Spirit Stone Mine and immediately clicked fuse.

This is just like picking a conch on the beach, seize it first! Hesitating and losing this opportunity, the world shard encountered next might not be as good as this one.

One shouldn’t be too greedy!

[Devouring and fusing blockade in process, all beings in the blockade zone will be gratuitously transferred to the courtyard in ten seconds, please be ready. Countdown: 00:00:9...]
