Chapter 2546 Divine Artifact?
When Shi Feng merged the Star of Light with the withered branch, the Mana inside the Basic Meditation Room started gathering rapidly around the branch.
In less than three seconds, a layer of white mist had formed around the withered branch. Moreover, this still wasnt the end of it. Afterward, the Mana mist started condensing into drops of Liquid Mana on the branch and the area around it. Subsequently, the Liquid Mana flowed toward and into the branchs broken end.
And with each drop of Liquid Mana that entered the withered branch, the branch quivered, giving off ripples of energy, as if some kind of creature was awakening.
It seems the results are quite good. Shi Feng grew elated when he sensed the ripples of energy from the withered branch.
Previously, when he saw that the Withered Rate of the branch had reached 94%, he had somewhat despaired of reviving the branch already.
Fortunately, there was no failure when trying to revive a Tree of Lifes branch. One merely needed to provide it with a continuous supply of high-density Mana and life energy. So long as that condition was met in sufficient quantity, the branch would grow into another Tree of Life.
The only problem was that the quantity and density of Mana and life energy required would vary depending on a branchs Withered Rate. Meanwhile, the materials capable of supplementing the Mana and life energy that a 94% Withered main branch required were incredibly rare.
Fortunately, Shi Feng had been lucky on his trip to the western continent this time and secured himself a Star of Light. Without it, he really wouldnt have any hope of resuscitating the withered branch he had.
Following which, time passed by rapidly. Before he knew it, eight hours had passed already. During this period, the withered branch had continuously condensed and absorbed Liquid Mana. Combined with the Star of Lights essence, the branch was now brimming with life energy. In fact, it had even started leafing.
As green leaves kept sprouting on the branch, the life energy it radiated grew denser. Now, the entire room was brimming with life.
It just awoke, yet the life energy its giving off is already so dense? What is the rank of this Tree of Life? Shi Feng was a little surprised when he sensed the life energy filling the room. If players rest in this room, their recovery rate will most likely more than double.
In Gods Domain, even after players reached Tier 3, they still wouldnt be immune to the corrosive energies in Level 100-plus maps; they would merely be more resistant to these energies. After the corruption reached a certain point, they would still have to return to cities to rest. Otherwise, they would collapse from hunger or exhaustion or simply outright die.
This was also the reason behind Stone Forest Citys rapid development.
However, even if players returned to a city to rest, they would still take a very long time to recover to their peak. While wealthy players also had the option of consuming Mana-rich food and beverages to accelerate their recovery, these only improved the recovery rate by a few dozen percent.
If players rested inside this room, however, their recovery rate would increase by at least 100%. This was simply incredible.
After all, expert players of Gods Domain consumed food and beverages that accelerated their recovery rate on a regular basis, to have more time grinding and exploring. Those of Guild upper echelons would even take ancient potions to increase their recovery rate, which was extremely expensive. The cheaper ones cost around 20 or 30 Gold per bottle, while expensive ones cost over 100 Gold!
Ancient potions were all Consumables whose effects lasted only four to six hours. However, combining the effects of ancient potions and food that boosted recovery rate could just barely double players recovery rate.
Now, however, a Tree of Lifes branch that had just been revived could grant this effect merely by being present inside a room. If news of this spread, the various powers of Gods Domain would definitely go crazy with envy.
After all, an ancient potion granted its effects to only one person. The Tree of Lifes branch, however, could aid all the players resting inside the room it was in.
Setting all else aside, this branch alone would already give Zero Wings main force members a huge lead over the various superpowers experts when it came to leveling up and improving their strength.
Meanwhile, as Shi Feng was reeling in astonishment from the passive effects the Tree of Lifes main branch displayed, the branch in question suddenly released an emerald glow. It then transformed into a sapling.
The instant the sapling took shape, Shi Feng felt an indescribably heavy pressure on him. The sapling had actually sucked the Basic Meditation Room dry of Mana. If not for Shi Feng having fully unlocked his Mana Body, the saplings action wouldve most likely killed him.
Unable to hold back his curiosity, Shi Feng promptly called out the saplings Attribute Panel.
Crap! Its actually a Divine Artifact?! Shi Feng was stunned when he saw the statistics displayed before him.
[Ancient Tree of Lifes Sapling] (Fragmented Divine Artifact Rank)
A sapling brimming with life energy. The sapling also contains a trace of the worlds aura before the Great Destruction. This sapling is capable of producing 17 drops of Water of Life daily, 3 Nuclei of Life every three days, and one Fruit of Life every seven days. This sapling can survive only in places with high Mana density.
Capable of growth. (Requires a large amount of dense and pure energy to grow. Current Growth Rate 0%.)
Previously, he had merely speculated that the branch he obtained was a Divine Artifact because it had existed since ancient times, and the environment in ancient times was many times better than the environment in the current Gods Domain.
However, he never thought that the main branch would actually turn out to be a Divine Artifact!
Although it was a fragmented one, it was still a bona fide Divine Artifact! It wasnt some powerful Legendary item labeled as a Divine Artifact.
Divine Artifacts could bring entire races to prosperity. They were existences that even Ancient Gods would fight tooth and nail for. Even the almighty War Gods Temple had only two Divine Artifacts in its warehouse.
If news of this sapling got out, let alone players, even the NPC powers of Gods Domain would most likely take action particularly the dark powers, which would definitely destroy Stone Forest City. In fact, they wouldnt mind drowning an entire empire in flames to get their hands on this sapling.
Hence, while Shi Feng was indeed ecstatic to see that the sapling turned out to be a Fragmented Divine Artifact, his emotions were complicated as he looked at the sapling.
Moreover, resuscitating a Tree of Lifes branch wasnt the most difficult part about growing a Tree of Life. After all, so long as players found the right materials to supply the branch with Mana and life energy, they would be able to revive it. Even if players didnt get the right materials on their first attempt, they could simply try and try again and eventually succeed.
The truly challenging part of growing a Tree of Life was keeping it alive.
The Tree of Life had extremely stringent living conditions. If players failed to meet these conditions, let alone getting the Tree of Life to develop, it wouldnt be strange if the tree died. Then, players would have to find more materials to resuscitate it.
One of the main conditions to keep a Tree of Life alive was to plant it in a location with sufficiently dense Mana.
Originally, Shi Feng had thought he could rely on Stone Forest Citys environment to grow his Tree of Life. After all, even if he managed to revive his branch, it would only become a sapling. The amount of Mana a sapling required wasnt as much as what a mature Tree of Life needed. In fact, with Stone Forest Citys Mana environment, he was confident he could grow even a Legendary ranked sapling.
However, for the Fragmented Divine Artifact ranked sapling before him, he discovered that even one of the citys Basic Meditation Rooms couldnt supply the saplings Mana requirements.
It seems that if I dont upgrade Stone Forest City, I cant even touch this Tree of Life. Shi Feng revealed a bitter smile as he looked at the sapling hovering before him. He then contacted Gentle Snow and asked, Snow, how are things coming along on your side?
