Chapter 195: Sacred Tree Song Ceremony

Chapter 195: Sacred Tree Song Ceremony
Xiao En originally planned to leave after delivering the things.

But he did not leave, because the wise man in the forest asked him to help complete an ancient natural ritual - the sacred tree song.

Among the many rituals, the two most powerful and sacred rituals of the Oak Father are called "Tree Song" and "Tree Spirit Dance" (Nature Festival). In the former, believers of the Nature Path will sing impressive nature songs repeatedly in unison to attract forest creatures to stop and listen, while the latter is a joyful ceremony to restore the vitality of the forest. Believers will use flute music and dance to summon tree spirits to walk out of the trees and roam in the forest, come to mate with humans, and thus awaken the vitality of nature.

The ritual arranged by the Sage of the Forest obviously has a wider impact range, so the requirements for the participants of the ritual are extremely high!

Simply put, it requires an extremely large pool of mana.

Not everyone can be the one to initiate the Sacred Tree Song Ritual. The essence of the ritual is to draw mana, resonate with the energy of nature, and conform to the laws of nature, thereby casting a natural spell close to the twelfth ring.

This means that if the candidates participating in the ceremony are not strong enough, they may be sucked dry by the goblins.

The fairy species' innate ability is also charm, and they also have some ritual methods to absorb life.

In fact, Xiao En was very hesitant, because although he had a strong mana pool, he might not be able to endure the ritual of the sacred tree song, and his physical condition might even be permanently reduced.

In response, the Sage of the Forest consoled him: "The Archdruids will set up the Ring of Nature."

"We will pay for most of the energy consumed by the Nature Festival. You only need to be responsible for maintaining the Sacred Tree Song Ceremony."

Xiao En was still a little resistant.

Because this ancient natural ritual requires him to have sex with many fairy species in public, the rituals of the original natural god system are relatively unrestrained. Some gods of the natural god system will even gather believers together on specific festivals. This ancient ritual of awakening the law of life follows the most traditional way.

Daisy on the side was stunned.

This was definitely not something a child could listen to. She certainly knew what the ritual of the sacred tree song was, so she tilted her head curiously, looked at Xiao En, and then looked at the Sage of the Forest in front of her.

As if sensing Xiao En's concerns, the Sage of the Forest smiled and said, "Don't worry."

“We will set up the holy residence and cover everything inside the ceremony.”

"You just need to maintain the operation of the Nature Festival for at least 48 hours. You don't have to worry about anything else."

Forty-eight hours.

How many tree spirits are they planning to awaken?
Can you really handle it?

Xiao En hesitated and said, "I'm afraid I still need to seek the teacher's advice on this matter."

He didn't know much about the ancient natural ceremony. Although he knew that the Sage of the Forest had no ill intentions, not many people could withstand such a grand ceremony. Logically speaking, it would be better for the Archdruid to preside over the ceremony, but it seemed that the Sage of the Forest thought he had a better chance of success.

The wise man in the forest nodded and said, "Okay."

"I'm sure Lady Hecate can offer some advice as well."

Xiao En saw that he could no longer refuse, so he could only arrange the ceremony and contact the teacher. After he told the teacher what happened, Ms. Hecate's calm voice rang out, "Since they want your help, then you should do your best."

"Don't worry. You won't die."

"Haven't you always wanted the support of the Natural Path? This is an opportunity. As long as the ancient ritual of the sacred tree song is successfully launched, you will have a very high reputation in the Natural Path."

We have to do this regardless of the consequences.

Xiao En pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Can other fairy species join this ceremony?"

The Sage in the Forest heard this and said doubtfully, "It's not impossible."

"But you can't pollute the purity of the ceremony."

Xiao En immediately said: "In my demiplane, there are three lake fairies. They are also members of the natural path and should not pollute the energy of the ceremony."

The Lady of the Lake?

The Sage of the Forest frowned and said, "The Sacred Tree Song must be initiated by the tree spirits. I'm afraid the water spirits can't do it."

The other party seemed to have misunderstood what he meant.

Xiao En immediately explained, "I practice both the arcane and the power of the spiritual path. The Changer has an ability called the fusion technique, which allows me to obtain the opponent's mana pool."

"The spells cast by the Sacred Tree Song Ritual are close to the twelfth level. I'm afraid I can't handle it alone."

"if you can."

"I hope to bring them into the ritual, and if necessary, use the fusion technique to transform their mana pools into my own."

Simply put, Xiao En wanted to bring in three power banks.

With Xiao En's current ability, he can easily cast ritual spells below the tenth ring, but the higher the level, the larger the mana pool required. This ancient natural festival is infinitely close to the miracles performed by the gods themselves. Even with the help of many great druids to provide the mana of the natural ring, Xiao En is worried that his mana pool is not enough. After the three sisters of the lake fairy have recovered a lot of strength, they also have a mana pool close to that of the legendary druids. In this way, Xiao En has a greater chance of holding on to the end.

The sage in the forest pondered for a moment and said, "It's worth a try."

In fact, besides Xiao En, there is another person who can maintain the ceremony, that is himself, but he is too old. Even if his mana pool can handle it, his body can't bear it. Looking at the appearance of the Sage of the Forest, you can tell that he has accepted natural aging. Only a very small number of druids will choose natural aging, because they believe that death is a part of nature, and so is aging. They will voluntarily give up the power of immortality.

Generally, druids with this kind of awareness have their own natural path.

After finalizing the ritual of the Sacred Tree Song, Sean immediately began preparations without stopping.

He had to use all the means to increase his physical strength. There was a +8 legendary physical amulet in the Abyss City, so he had to borrow it no matter what. His strength attribute could not be too low, and his agility was also very important. One increased his heavy attack, and one increased his attack speed. Xiao En had to stack his attributes to the limit. Once the ritual of the sacred tree song began, it could not be stopped. Even if his mana pool was exhausted, he had to hold on to the end. His mana pool could be drained by the tree spirits, but his body could never be drained by them.

A week passed quickly.

Xiao En found the time to find the sleeping observer, Kuradirs, in the demiplane. After paying a small price, he let the dragon bleed a little, giving himself a little extra ability.

More than ten great druids have returned from the Eternal Forest. Xiao En met with them and found that there were more slender elves. It seemed that because the elves were more suitable for druids, many people on the path of nature had converted to the elves. Among them, a handsome man with silver hair was quite eye-catching. Xiao En recognized him as a silver dragon at a glance. He was also a visitor from another world.

Early March, 1003E 3.

Under the arrangement of the Sage of the Forest, the Archdruids of the Eternal Forest jointly launched the natural ceremony of "Sacred Tree Song". As one of the participants in the ceremony, Sean entered the deepest part of the natural circle.

As this grand ceremony begins.

Tens of thousands of believers of the Path of Nature sang impressive nature hymns in unison. The melodious singing was like clear spring water, automatically attracting all the forest creatures in the real kingdom. The loud eagle cry was heard in the sky, and dozens of giant eagles with a wingspan of more than ten meters circled above the Eternal Forest. Then countless birds and beasts gathered here, and there were even cranes from the Eastern Zhendan. It was an extraordinary crane, standing nearly five meters tall. It was obviously a promoted nature spirit, that is, a magical animal of extraordinary level.

In the second stage of the ceremony.

One by one, glimmering fairies emerged. They were the Light Spirit Settlements, a kind of fairies that lived collectively. When the petite flower fairies began to fly around the ring of nature, the faint fairies also began to emerge, and the common fairy species appeared one after another. However, unlike the natural festivals held in other worlds, even in the Eternal Forest of the Real Kingdom, the fairy species summoned by the Archdruid were still very rare, and there were only a few hundred of them in total.

Under normal circumstances, for such a grand natural festival, thousands of flower fairies alone would have to be summoned.

Xiao En was already a little worried about whether the ritual could be successfully launched.

Beside him were the three sisters of the lake fairy, namely the eldest sister Undine, the second sister Sif and the younger sister Nimue. Sean took a deep breath and nodded to the three sisters of the lake fairy with extremely pious expressions beside him, and then the group went directly into the secret realm of the Ring of Nature.

A light mist rose.

In front of Xiao En's sight, he seemed to have come to a quiet and peaceful secret place in the forest. He could faintly hear the chanting from the outside world. Such a grand ceremony would need to last at least two days. The archdruids would resonate with everything in nature and use them to awaken the domain laws of animals, plants, forests, wilderness, etc. in turn.

A melodious and beautiful singing voice came.

In the quiet woods ahead, graceful figures walked out from the trees. They had emerald green skin, smooth and delicate like silk, charming faces, and enchanting bodies wearing long skirts woven from leaves. One by one, the sleeping tree spirits walked out from the trees. Their chants gradually became louder, as if filled with the wildness and charm of primitive nature. After they came to Xiao En, one of the tree spirits, who was obviously older and looked like a beautiful woman in her thirties, whispered, "Master Xiao En."

"Leave it to us next."

The dryad warlock signaled his beautiful, young and immature companion to take off her long skirt. Under the surge of natural magic power, the vines around her quickly entangled and turned into a ritual altar.

Xiao En could already feel the drain of his mana pool at this moment.

In the morning dew, dozens of beautiful dryads have appeared. Under the guidance of the leading dryad warlock, they circled around the Ring of Nature, with a hint of curiosity on their faces as they looked at their shy companions and Sean, who took a deep breath to calm his inner world.

It's a tough fight.

Who would have thought that the Father of Oak, who advocates unity and balance, would have such a wild natural ceremony. However, for people who follow the path of nature, the reproduction and mating of species is the most critical part of nature, and the gods of the natural system attach great importance to the continuation of life.

——Fusion technique!

Xiao En felt the mana pool draining away quickly. When the two tree spirits took off their long skirts and walked onto the altar, he gestured to Undine beside him. The elder sister of the lake fairy understood immediately, and with a serene expression and a hint of piety, she came to Xiao En's side and stretched out her fingertips. The next second, her figure disappeared, and Xiao En's appearance changed slightly. His skin became white and smooth like jade, and part of his hair turned into a light golden luster. The fusion technique had taken effect, and her mana pool became a part of Xiao En.

"Sealed Artifact No. 1."

"Help me calculate the consumption of my mana pool!"

Xiao En took a deep breath and sat cross-legged. It was difficult for him to maintain this natural festival with his current strength. He had to pay attention to the consumption progress of his mana pool at all times.

Because he possesses the laws of the knowledge field, he can slowly restore his mana pool, so he must maintain the three-step consumption of the ritual. The first step is to consume part of his own mana pool, and then replace it with the mana pool of his eldest sister Undine. The second step is to restore his own mana pool and let the mana pool of his second sister Sif replace the ritual consumption. The third step is to continue to consume his own mana pool, and then when one-third of it is consumed, his younger sister Nimue will replace it.

The last part was the most difficult, as Sean had to rely on his own mana pool to last for eight hours while the three fairy sisters in the lake meditated to restore their mana pools.

If you can make it to this point, then the ceremony of the natural festival will be a success.

Because the three sisters who have recovered their mana pools can continue to use the fusion technique with Xiao En and use their mana pools to maintain the next round of operation.

To put it simply, Xiao En intermittently restores his mana pool, and the three power banks take turns to output mana.

Normally, only beings close to being demigods of nature could hold out for this grand natural festival. If Xiao En had not mastered the field of knowledge, he could only hold out for half the time at most.

at the same time.

As the ritual of the sacred tree song was launched, in the direction of the poisonous swamp in the weird country, near the vast black forest, a strange forest hut suddenly stood up, and several great druids appeared here. When Xiao En's mana pool began to be absorbed by the tree spirits, the resonance of the law of nature also spread here. Clear water emerged from the originally filthy swamp, and a large amount of poisonous fog was purified by the power of nature. Starting from the edge of the black forest, those twisted black trees gradually grew green leaves, and the tough bark and trunks regained vitality, as if a green ocean was spreading towards the earth.

The ceremony lasted less than half an hour, and the land within a radius of dozens of kilometers was already covered with lush green grass. Millions of trees came back to life, recovering from their distorted life forms to their normal appearance. The first to be transformed were the oak trees, then the maple trees, followed by the birch, pine, cypress, and so on.

From the direction of the highest cliff, a loud eagle cry was heard.

The figure of the sage in the forest emerged. He looked at the archdruids present with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice: "Success or failure depends on this one!"

"Everyone!"

"Whether we can make the Owlman race return to the natural path depends on this time."

——Tree Sea Realm (Eleventh Ring) [Legendary Spell]!
Countless giant trees rose from the ground, with the figure of the sage in the forest as the center, and the area within a radius of fifteen kilometers was directly transformed into a lush primeval forest. The next second, countless trees were animated and transformed into tree men tens of meters tall. They rose from the ground one by one and looked towards the highest cliff where the owl man's altar was located.

On the other side, hundreds of high-level druids were capturing the deformed Crowmen in the Black Forest. They set up natural rings in the forest and watered them with spiritual springs that allowed all things to grow. Some of the Crowmen seemed to be purified, and they were screaming with countless blood and pus flowing from their bodies.

"Holy light!"

"Please save these poor people!"

In the crowd, a burly blond man was watching everything in front of him. He was wearing silver-white armor, kneeling on one knee, praying to the supreme holy light of Mount Heaven.

This holy warrior held an ordinary long sword in his hand, and on his right hand was a silver arm guard.
