Chapter 5058 Fusang Tree-Heart
When Long Chen arrived in the primal chaos space, he saw a Three-Foot Golden Crow circling one of the Fusang Trees. It had grown to the size of thirty meters, and golden flames swirled around its wings, making it appear particularly divine.
What Long Chen found most astonishing was that it already exhibited the fluctuations of a half-step Heavenly Chosen. While he had anticipated that it would grow to the level of a Heavenly Chosen, he hadn’t expected it to progress so rapidly. Furthermore, its flame energy was different from the Golden Crow race or the Fusang Tree’s flames.
As these golden flames burned, golden powder fell from the Three-Foot Golden Crow’s body. When its wings flapped in particular, that golden powder came flying out, looking particularly spectacular.
“Big Brother Long Chen, what do you think about Little Crow One?” asked Huo Linger excitedly.
“Amazing. It’s absolutely amazing,” remarked Long Chen sincerely. “Wait, why are you calling it Little Crow One?”
“Hehe, isn’t big brother thinking about getting some more Golden Crow Totems?” said Huo Linger mischievously.
“But of course.”
“Exactly. Who has the energy to come up with so many names for all of them? We’ll just call them according to the order… One, Two, Three. Isn’t that much more convenient?” said Huo Linger.
Hearing that, Long Chen agreed. Since he had killed a Heavenly Chosen of the Golden Crow race, this grudge was set. They would definitely clash once he arrived in the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain. Who knew how many of their disciples he would have to kill? Huo Linger was becoming quite clever. After becoming a Heavenly Chosen, her mind had become even more agile.
“Big Brother Long Chen, do you know that we can summon it outside the primal chaos space? Imagine having thousands of Golden Crows fighting for you. Wouldn’t that be terrifying?” said Huo Linger excitedly.
Long Chen was instantly moved. He could imagine the scene of him controlling a terrifying army of Golden Crows.
“Hehe, furthermore, it would be an army of undying Golden Crows,” added Huo Linger.
This Golden Crow was only a totem, possessing a consciousness but not its own will. It did whatever Huo Linger told it to do.
With Long Chen and Huo Linger’s souls connected, Long Chen could also control the Golden Crow. Imagining an army of undying Three-Foot Golden Crows, Long Chen was infected by Huo Linger’s excitement.
“Big Brother Long Chen, that’s not at all. I can also merge with it to become a Three-Foot Golden Crow and use its divine abilities. Hehe, that’s the most amazing part. I was lacking flame divine abilities, and it can help me make up for that,” said Huo Linger excitedly.
“It’s that powerful?” Long Chen’s jaw dropped.
“Hehe, I can’t merge with it yet. But with its rate of growth, it will just take a few days until it recovers its original cultivation base. Once it does, its Golden Crow Flame will merge with the Fusang Flame. That flame will finally have a trace of the true Sun Flame’s aura. It’ll definitely give you a nice surprise,” said Huo Linger confidently.
Long Chen was filled with anticipation. Seeing the Three-Foot Golden Crow flying around the Fusang Tree, he suddenly noticed the Fusang Tree beside it showing signs of wilting, making him jump.
“What’s going on there?” asked Long Chen.
After all, such a situation had never occurred before in the primal chaos space.
“Don’t panic! I was about to tell you. Here!”
Huo Linger handed Long Chen a staff that looked like it was made out of pure gold. Countless flame runes swirled around it, and its aura was astonishing.
The moment Long Chen held it, his hands dropped from the weight. He cried out, “This is…?!”
“That’s right. It’s that Fusang Tree’s tree-heart,” answered Huo Linger.
This wooden staff’s aura was shocking, and it contained incomparably pure flame energy inside. It was practically a natural top-grade Heaven Saint divine weapon, comparable to the Blaze Dragon Bone Whip and the Thousand Phoenix Feather Dress.
“Is it going to be alright with you taking out its tree-heart?” asked Long Chen.
“Big Brother Long Chen, don’t worry. We already talked about this.”
“What? Can you communicate with it?”
“I can’t, but Little Crow One can. I promised to get it a Golden Crow next time,” replied Huo Linger.
The Fusang Trees had stopped growing at a certain height. Although the flame energy within them got purer, it also seemed to have reached some kind of bottleneck.
However, with the arrival of this Three-Foot Golden Crow, this particular Fusang Tree suddenly broke through that bottleneck and continued to grow. Indeed, the Fusang Trees and the Three-Foot Golden Crow race were linked together, mutually complementing each other.
As this Three-Foot Golden Crow resided only on a single Fusang Tree, the others could only watch.
On her own accord, Huo Linger promised one of those Fusang Trees to give it a Golden Crow as well, but the condition was its tree-heart.
If it were anywhere else, taking out its tree-heart would kill it. But here, it couldn’t die even if it wanted to. It would just take a long time to recover.
Fortunately, the black soil had just received a mass of Netherdragon corpses, so life energy was filling this place, allowing it to recover even faster. As a result, it didn’t hesitate to give Huo Linger its tree-heart.
Upon learning all this, Long Chen was even more shocked and slapped his own leg. If he had known this, he would have killed the rest of those Heavenly Chosens from the Golden Crow race.
“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely have a chance in the future,” comforted Huo Linger.
“Alright. So are you telling me to use the tree-heart as a weapon?” asked Long Chen.
“No, no. This is something I prepared for you,” replied Huo Linger.
“Prepared for me? I’m acting as a member of the white dragon race right now. I don’t think it’s too appropriate for me to use flame divine abilities,” remarked Long Chen.
Although the dragon race could use flames as well, Long Chen’s flame fluctuations would draw suspicion from the Brahma Pill Valley. After all, the way alchemists and flame cultivators controlled flame energy was different.
An ordinary person would have difficulty differentiating them, but for the experts of the Brahma Pill Valley, it was extremely easy. Anyway, there was no need for Long Chen to go to such lengths.
“Aiya, I just want you to carry a staff, not use it for fighting. You still don’t understand?” Huo Linger giggled.
Long Chen’s jaw suddenly dropped as he stared from the flame staff to the Three-Foot Golden Crow. At this time, Huo Linger was laughing like a clever little minx.
