Primordial Harem System

Chapter 318 Planting the Tree

He wove his First-Tier Space Intent into the Spatial Qi, stabilizing the dimensional barrier and ensuring the tree's integrity during the transfer.

The air around him shimmered with energy, the combined forces of three distinct intents creating a radiant spectacle.

The charred cherry tree trembled slightly before lifting gently off the ground, its roots cradled by the glowing cocoon of energy. The azure sprout seemed to sway in approval, its light growing brighter.

[Excellent control, Yuan'er. The tree is stable. Now, guide it carefully back to your courtyard.]

Shen Yuan nodded, sweat beading on his brow from the intense focus required to maintain the balance of energies.

He extended his free hand, forming a path of Radiant Qi that connected to the Spatial Portal. The tree floated gracefully along the path, its movement steady and secure.

As they approached the Spatial Portal, the disciples made way as word had already spread about what Shen Yuan was doing. None of them had any problem with it, as he was now a Core Disciple.

Shen Yuan adjusted the flow of his Qi and Intent, ensuring the dimensional transfer would not disrupt the tree's delicate life.

As Shen Yuan stepped into the portal with the charred cherry tree hovering gently behind him, a subtle change in the flow of spatial energy rippled through the air.

The tree's cocoon of Spatial Qi interacted with the portal's inherent dimensional energy, creating an unstable resonance. The portal's shimmering surface flickered momentarily, and Shen Yuan's brows furrowed in concentration.

[Careful, Yuan'er. The spatial energies are clashing. The portal's natural flow is interfering with your intent.]

Yue Lan's voice echoed with concern.

Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, sweat beginning to bead on his forehead. "I can feel it. The strain is immense. I didn't anticipate this level of resistance from the portal."

The conflicting spatial energies coiled and twisted around the tree, threatening to unravel the delicate balance he was barely holding onto. Sparks of chaotic energy crackled in the air as the portal flickered more violently.

[Your Spatial Intent is being pushed to its limit. If the energies destabilize further, the tree's cocoon could collapse, and its fragile roots might suffer irreparable damage.]

"I won't let that happen," Shen Yuan muttered, his gaze sharpening. He poured more of his Spatial Qi into the cocoon, trying to stabilize the resonance, but the strain on his intent grew unbearable.

His body trembled slightly as his Spiritual Sea buzzed with the overload.

Suddenly, amidst the turmoil, Shen Yuan felt a faint but profound realization. The chaotic interplay of energies wasn't entirely random—it followed subtle patterns.

The disciples speechlessly nodded their heads, looking at Shen Yuan fading back in the distance as he left.

...

Shen Yuan soon reached his courtyard, heading towards the garden.

He carefully made a place with his Space and Radiant Intent in the center of the garden before carefully floating the tree to that spot, the enriched soil glowing faintly with Radiant Qi.

He released the cocoon of Spatial Qi, allowing the tree's roots to settle naturally into the ground. The azure glow of the sprout pulsed brighter, as though liking its new home.

[You did it, Yuan'er. The tree is safe, and its bond with this place will only grow stronger over time.]

Shen Yuan knelt beside the tree, his hand resting gently on its scarred trunk. "Welcome home," he murmured, his voice soft and gentle.

He stood, his gaze lingering on the resilient tree before turning toward the rest of his garden. "The tree is the symbol of what I had gone through myself. It survived the Tribulation together with me."

[And like you, it will flourish even in the harshest of circumstances. You've truly created something special here.]

Shen Yuan nodded, his lips curving into a faint smile as he looked at the cherry tree.

Taking out a chair, he said, "Let's celebrate this little achievement for now."

Shen Yuan settled into the chair he had just placed beside the cherry tree, taking out the wine gourd from his Spatial Ring.

He uncorked it with a soft pop, the rich aroma of aged wine wafting into the air. Taking a deep sip, he leaned back and exhaled, the tension of the day melting away.

The tree's azure sprout pulsed faintly, as if sharing his moment of peace.

[Yuan'er, you're quite attached to that gourd, aren't you?] Yue Lan teased, her voice playful but warm.

Shen Yuan chuckled, swirling the wine inside the gourd. "This gourd has been with me for quite a long time now, Lan'er. You know, sometimes the little things hold the most meaning."

[I guess that's true. You have been using the same gourd for so long, refilling it with different wines. But what are you planning now?]

He tilted his head back, gazing at the serene sky. "I was considering making a trip to Sacred Lotus City. There's someone I've been meaning to meet."
