Chapter 1739: Small Changes

Alex first suppressed the Yang aura on his body. To his surprise, it was suppressed into his body so easily. It flowed back into his Dantian without forcing anything else, and quickly let his body feel a lot better.

Alex thought of letting it be and going to check on his plants, but he thought of something. Now that he had both the Yin and Yang Dao, could he do something with the two that he couldn't first do with either of them alone?

A person learning both the Yin and Yang Dao should provide some incredible benefits, right?

Thinking so, Alex connected with the Yang in his body and exerted his will on it. His Intent.

'Turn into Yin!'

He felt the world grow dizzy all of a sudden as a sharp pain pierced through his head. He jerked a bit where he sat and put one hand on the ground to balance himself.

The pain had come too suddenly. 

Alex calmed down, no longer using the Intent, and let the pain flow away. It took some time. In the meanwhile, he checked to see what he had done.

A portion of his Qi, a rather significant portion, had turned into Yin Qi. It wasn't strong Yin Qi, just regular Yin Qi, but it was already working its way into mixing with the remaining Yang Qi in his body to bring back the balance that was lost.

The Yin bead in him stirred a little as well and started working just slightly more again, fighting back the power of the Yang source inside of his Dantian.

"Your Majesty!" a voice worriedly called to him.

Alex looked back and saw Yao Ning's grim face. It seemed she noticed that he had grown dizzy. 

Yao Ning didn't voice the question in her, but Alex could read it on her face.

"I'm alright, Elder Yao," he said hoarsely. "I just did something slightly stupid in retrospect."

"You always jump into things before looking, Your Majesty," Yao Ning said almost harshly. "You need to stop doing that. You should eat a pill if you're hurt. We should return if the problem is with your cultivation base."

"No, I said I'm alright," Alex said, stopping Yao Ning from speaking further. "But thank you for worrying. You should prepare for departure. We leave in 10 minutes."

The old woman nodded and started speaking with the others.

Alex took one last glance at the old woman, feeling warm in her almost familial love, and returned to what he was doing.

'I shouldn't do that again,' he thought. Converting Yang to Yin directly inside of his body might have been a rather bad idea. Maybe converting it outside was a bad idea too, but he had to check what it would've done, and that was the safe thing.

'Sometimes I think too much before jumping, and sometimes I don't think at all,' Alex thought. 'Elder Yao is right.'

He left the matter of Yin and Yang and looked into his Soul Space next.

Unless Alex wanted to enter his Soul Space through a new space, the opening was almost always the last point of entry he had used. So, when the Soul Space opened, the Yang energy from the Sun had entered directly into the two plants that were now in front of him.

On his left was a nearly half-a-meter-tall sapling of golden plant that now glowed with the brightness of red hot iron. It was brighter than it had been before. That was a positive change, but it was nothing next to what he saw from the World Tree.

The World Tree sapling, not counting the roots, was nearly 3 meters tall now. Even with that height, it was still just a sapling, even younger in lifespan than the Nine Yang Divine Tree.

Even as young as it was, the World Tree seemed vibrant, flowing with vitality. The small piece of land Alex had given it had already been taken over by the tree, stripped of all its resources.

Alex would have to give it a much larger land, but that was for later. There was still a while before the World Tree would require something else.

The changes of the World Tree that surprised Alex had nothing to do with the tree's physical appearance, but rather what it was doing.

The tree seemed to pulse with every passing second, spreading out a soft aura that turned into Qi when it moved far enough away from it. 

This was a normal phenomenon for the tree at this point as it had been doing so for years now. But the amount of Qi it was pouring out now was a raging river when before it had been nothing more than a babbling brook.

The Qi lingered around for a good while before they dissipated, no doubt turning back into energy he couldn't sense. Since it had used the Sunlight to create such, the Qi was turning back into light most likely.

Once the tree grew, the Qi it made would last for much longer. Still, Alex wondered if there was a way to make use of the escaping Qi. Something he could do to make the Qi not be wasted.

Without wasting a single second, Alex tore away a piece of land from the already small land the Yang tree was growing on, and put some random seed he could find from nearby. 

They were mostly some low-level herbs, but Alex failed to see what they were. He had chosen them from his worst pile since he couldn't afford to grow anything strong enough to disturb the growth of these two plants.

Common plants would have to do for now.

He planted the seeds on that small piece of land and left it floating around the World Tree's sapling, far enough that the World Tree wouldn't consider it a food, but close enough that the Qi still touched them.

Once he did that, he made some more thorough searches to see any problem the intense sunrise had done to his Soul Space. There was certainly a stronger presence of Yang in here, but Alex couldn't tell if it was the sunlight or his newly found Dao.

He looked for the Blood God's Manual next and made sure it had remained in the far depths of his Soul Space. Away from the direct sunlight and away from harm. Once he was sure, he pulled out his senses from his Soul Space.

Alex finally opened his eyes and stood up on the plateau of the Celestial Peak. He stared down at the vast expanse of the realm he was in, the realm he was born in.

He looked at the land, the islands, the ocean, and the edges of the world in the far distance. From the land, everything in the distance looked like a haze, but from up here where the air was very thin, there was little haze to hide his sight.

It would be a long time before he got to see something like this again.

Alex took one last glance at everything and nodded to himself in satisfaction. He turned around, and looked at the elders and the remaining members of the party he had come up here with.

"Let's leave."
