Bab 32: Void Spaces

400 years ago, there was no Reiki for humans to practice, humans can only practice some low-level martial arts techniques or health-preserving techniques that could be practiced even without Reiki.

But with the advent of the Divine Spirit Tree, shattered plane fragments of various sizes from small to large were attracted around the Blue Star and turned into void spaces.

These void spaces rely on the Blue Star and are independent of the Blue Star.

Most of these void spaces were wastelands or completely damaged, uninhabitable, or dead lands filled with undead.

But some fragments still had people or monsters living.

These void fragments with living creatures were once part of large or super large planes, that had advanced Martial arts civilizations like immortal civilizations, advanced scientific-technological worlds, wizard worlds, or even totem civilizations.

Although damaged they were filled with ancient knowledge of those civilizations that were not available before on Blue Star.

Even though exploring these void fragments can be very dangerous, risks are often followed by riches.

Just finding a useful ancient prescription or martial arts technique fragments was already enough to get rich and live comfortably for a while.

While these void fragments brought benefits, they were also accompanied by the aboriginals who survived from those worlds.

When these void fragments are converted and turned into void spaces, while some of these aboriginals wanted to live peacefully together on Blue Star, few saw an opportunity.

As Blue Star was still in its early stage of development, they tried to occupy it for their own benefit.

Wars raged on for centuries, and slowly powerful leaders from large groups of people, including all other races on Blue Star and those from void spaces, together formed the Dawn Federation.

Soon after, most of the large Empires and Kingdoms formed an alliance to bring peace and order to the current Blue Star.

There are still many ongoing wars between kingdoms and Empires, but due to the deterrence of the Dawn Federation, common people are not involved and still have peaceful lives.

Given his role as a Spiritual Planter, rooted in an immortal civilization and had ties to the wizarding realm he checked them first.

Ram reviewed the items on the list with growing excitement. There were many wood-based cultivation techniques, each with intriguing descriptions.

The ones that caught his attention were the Greenwood Heart Technique, Verdant Heart Sutra, Eternal Oak Sovereignty, Thousand Leaf Pinnacle, Thousand-Year Tree Absorption, and Green Dragon Vine Art.

He pondered each technique carefully:

1. Greenwood Heart Technique: Focuses on harmonizing with the essence of wood and nature, cultivating a strong affinity with forests and plants.

2. Verdant Heart Sutra: Aligns the practitioner's heart with the pulse of nature, allowing them to absorb life force from plants and trees.

3. Eternal Oak Sovereignty: Revolves around attaining the endurance of ancient oak trees, symbolizing longevity and steadfastness.

4. Thousand Leaf Pinnacle: Allows cultivators to master the art of manipulating razor-sharp leaves of a unique grass species that resemble swords.

5. Thousand-Year Tree Absorption: A high-level technique where cultivators absorb the essence of ancient trees to significantly boost their power.

6. Green Dragon Vine Art: A high-level combat-focused technique that allows the cultivator to summon and control powerful vine dragons to attack or defend.

Ram thought to himself, "The Green Dragon Vine Art and Thousand-Year Tree Absorption are high-level techniques. I can't practice them yet. So, I can only choose from the remaining four."

After some consideration, he decided on the Greenwood Heart Technique and Thousand Leaf Pinnacle.

He reasoned, "Greenwood Heart Technique will improve my affinity with nature, which is essential for my path as a Spiritual Planter."

As a Blue Star human he was not born with spiritual roots like humans from immortal civilizations, improving his affinity is the key to improving his compatibility with his profession.

"Thousand Leaf Pinnacle on the other hand will give me a powerful offensive and defensive ability, allowing me to control blade-like leaves with precision and speed."

"Even after I advanced to higher levels, I can even infuse my own spiritual power into the leaves, enhancing their cutting power or elemental properties like fire or ice."

Both of these skills cost him about 70 Shadow points, which was not a small amount. "One Shadow point can be converted into 100 Tier-1 life energy crystals, which is 1,000 life energy points. 70 Shadow points are about 70,000 life energy points," he calculated.

"If I was still an ordinary person, it would take years to extract this much life energy."

Although he wasn't planning on using his own life energy to buy anything else, he knew it would take about two months for his recovery talent to gather such an amount.

To speed up his recovery ability, he also tried absorbing a life energy crystal to see if it could increase his reserve amount, but it didn't work.

Only the life energy and spirit power recovered by his talent had the special properties.

Then he checked some Zero order wizard spells but skipped them for now, as most of them were a repeat of what he already had, and Thorny could use spells like thorn whips and other vine spells.

"Maybe I'll buy them later when I have extra Shadow points," he thought.

Skill cards were out of the question with the remaining Shadow points he had, so he turned his attention to spiritual plants that could help him.

Turning more spiritual plants into wood spirits was the best way to increase his experience and strength.

There were not many Spiritual plants available on the list because different plants need different growth environments, and these spiritual plants need to be pre-ordered.

Although he didn't see many Spiritual plants, he saw various seeds of spiritual plants.

The ones that most attracted him were seeds of Sword Grass and Titan Wood Tree.

He thought looking at the seeds of Sword Grass, "Each seed costs 3 Shadow points, which is very expensive but compared to mature spiritual plants, this is 10 times cheaper."

Sword Grass grows very slowly and requires many special conditions to be met before it can mature.

If the mature sword grass has any special skills, it can even exceed 20 to 30 times the price.

According to specific requirements, Spiritual Planters can slowly change the shape of the grass while it's still growing, shaping it into a large sword-like sharp edge or 5 to 6 small leaves with sharp edges.
