Huo Feng could tell that Zhou Wu was not the type to casually vent his frustrations, as his previous demeanor was completely different from now. He said to Huo Feng, "I wonder what you need my help with, Brother Zhou Wu?"
Zhou Wu took a deep breath and looked at Huo Feng, speaking each word deliberately, "I want you to help me kill Xiao Yuan."
Surprised by Zhou Wu's request, Huo Feng did not want to get involved in such trouble. After all, he had no ties with the Wanmu Family. Unless absolutely necessary, Huo Feng would not seek out trouble for himself, especially since he had more important matters to attend to, like finding Bing.
Huo Feng firmly replied, "I'm sorry, but I can't do that."
"Why? Haven't the Bastards been trying to kill you as well? Don't you want to kill him?" Zhou Wu was puzzled by Huo Feng's refusal, especially since there was a deep-seated grudge involved. However, Zhou Wu soon changed his tone, looking down on Huo Feng, "It seems you're just like my father—a coward, a timid person. You have all this ability but are wasting it."
Yet, Huo Feng did not get angry; instead, he smiled and said, "You want revenge? With your strength, can you even get close to him? Let me tell you, your father is not a coward. He mourns the misunderstanding surrounding his name because he wants to minimize the sacrifices of your people. I didn't expect you to see him that way."
Faced with Huo Feng's words, Zhou Wu fell silent. In truth, he understood his father's intentions but felt frustrated and unwilling to live in such painful circumstances.
With a sense of helplessness, Zhou Wu said, "I actually know all of this; I just feel suffocated and unwilling. That's why I secretly came to find you. I hope we can go to Treeheart City together, and then I'll find a way to assassinate him. If you don't want to join me, we can part ways once we reach Treeheart City."
"Why are you so stubborn? You can't even get close to him, let alone kill him. And do you understand something? Your father and your people have high hopes for you. Why do you think they gave you that wooden sword made from the core of the Soul of the Tree Heart? Why are they enduring all this? It's because they hope you'll grow up and lead them back," Huo Feng said impatiently about Zhou Wu's stubbornness.
With hollow eyes, Zhou Wu glanced at Huo Feng, then squatted down and hugged his head, his voice choked with emotion as he said, "I'm about to explode! Do you know how high my people’s expectations are for me? I used to be so confident, but now I realize that without the complete Soul of the Tree Heart, I can't break through the Vein Realm and cross the barrier of the Oblivion Tempest. How can I endure this? How can I face my people and my father?"
Understanding his feelings, Huo Feng decided that if there was no effective way to help him at this moment, it would be best just to quietly accompany him. So he stood there silently.
However, in his heart, Huo Feng asked Seven Star Spirit and Vankun, "Grandpa Stellar, Venerable Fan, do you have any methods to help him improve his strength?"
Vankun shouted loudly, "Mind your own business! If you want to help, just go and take care of that thing directly."
Huo Feng was speechless at Vankun's temperament, but before Huo Feng could say anything, Seven Star Spirit spoke up, "I see you have no way out and are just being hypocritical."
Now, Seven Star Spirit and Vankun started bickering as soon as someone opened their mouth. To Huo Feng, Seven Star Spirit seemed to have lost the mystery it once had.
Vankun was hit where it hurt by Seven Star Spirit, and immediately retorted, "If you're not being hypocritical, what can you do?"
"Hmph! I'm not like some old turtle who has lived for ten thousand years. Since I've spoken up, I naturally have a way," Seven Star Spirit replied, then turned to Huo Feng, saying, "Actually, there is a method, but it requires your help."
Upon hearing that there was a way, Huo Feng asked, "What do you need me to do to help him?"
Seven Star Spirit said, "It's actually quite simple; it will just consume a lot of your Origin Force. However, it might significantly enhance the strength of many of them. You will probably need quite a while to recover afterward. Do you want me to continue?"
"Go ahead; don't keep me in suspense. Ever since Venerable Fan arrived, I've noticed that Stellar Grandpa has become increasingly unserious."
"Cough! Don't compare me to that old turtle," Stellar Grandpa began to provoke Vankun again.
Vankun was getting into it too and angrily said, "You're the old turtle! I'm a noble dragon; you don't understand anything!"
"I'm not going to argue with you. Borrowing this kid's words, you're quite the unseemly one," Seven Star Spirit turned back to Huo Feng, saying, "Actually, it's very simple. You need to circulate half of your Origin Force through the several light points that contain the Star Spirit Fragment for eighteen cycles. Finally, compress them into a thin Origin Force ball and separate it from your body. Then embed it onto that wooden sword. At that point, it will have an effect similar to that of the Soul of the Tree Heart—though slightly inferior since it's not a complete Soul of the Tree Heart spirit—but it will still be quite effective."
Just as Huo Feng was about to ask how Seven Star Spirit knew all this, Zhou Wu suddenly stood up and said to Huo Feng, "Thank you for keeping me company for so long and listening to my complaints. I feel much better now. Let's go back."
Zhou Wu began to turn and walk towards Wanmuzhen, with Huo Feng closely following. Suddenly, Zhou Wu spoke again, saying, "I hope Brother Huo won't say anything to my father or our clan about this matter."
Huo Feng replied as they walked, "Of course."
The two quickly arrived at the base of the treehouse in the center of Wanmuzhen. At that moment, Zhou Wu bid farewell to Huo Feng and turned to leave. Huo Feng suddenly called out to Zhou Wu, saying, "Brother Zhou Wu, I don't know if you trust me, but if I have a way to help you enhance your strength, and I need to use your wooden sword for it, would you be willing?"
Zhou Wu turned to look at Huo Feng. Their eyes met, both gazing at each other with clear and pure expressions. After a moment, Zhou Wu said, "Really? I'm willing to take a gamble. However, this concerns the survival of our Wanmu Family. I will stay here at the base of this tree until you finish."
Huo Feng nodded in agreement with Zhou Wu's decision. Zhou Wu then took out the wooden sword made from the Soul of the Tree Heart from the Narcissistic Ring and solemnly handed it to Huo Feng.
As Huo Feng received the wooden sword, he immediately felt an endless vitality emanating from it, almost like a living tree full of life. However, he also sensed something unusual; he discovered that there was a faint aura within the wooden sword that seemed to resonate with his own essence, giving him a particularly warm feeling.
After Huo Feng secured the wooden sword, he said to Zhou Wu, "Brother Zhou Wu, I will go in and prepare now."
Zhou Wu nodded and then watched as Huo Feng entered the house before sitting down cautiously beneath the great tree.
Once inside the house, Huo Feng couldn't wait to ask the Seven Star Spirit in his mind, "Stellar Grandpa, do you know what's going on? Why does this wooden sword have such a familiar aura?"
"Kid, you should have guessed it by now," the Seven Star Spirit replied excitedly.
Huo Feng thought about whether this could be related to the Star Spirit Fragment but felt something was different; it seemed like the aura wasn't strong enough. Furrowing his brows, he said, "I have suspected it might be related to the Star Spirit Fragment, but it doesn't look like there's one inside."
"You're foolish. Didn't this previously contain a Soul of the Tree Heart spirit? That is what constitutes the Star Spirit Fragment. It seems you must thoroughly help them this time; otherwise, how will you obtain that Star Spirit Fragment?"
Huo Feng thought to himself that if he didn't participate, it would be embarrassing to ask them for the Star Spirit Fragment later. With this in mind, Huo Feng secretly decided that after completing this, he would join them to face Xiao Yuan.
Huo Feng sat cross-legged and, taking advantage of the starlight outside the window, three silver light spots appeared on his body. The two light spots at his forehead and chest, which contained the Star Spirit Fragment, shone brightly, illuminating the entire room.
Two full hours passed, and Huo Feng finally completed the eighteen cycles. At this moment, Huo Feng concentrated on compressing his Origin Force. When it was compressed to the size of a thumb, Huo Feng began to guide that Origin Force to burst out of his body.
As the Origin Force sphere emerged from Huo Feng's mouth, it immediately emitted a white light and a powerful aura. This aura quickly spread out, and Zhou Wu was the first to feel it, shocked as he exclaimed, "How is this possible? How can the Soul of the Tree Heart's spirit be here with him? No, no, although this aura is similar to that of a spirit, it is significantly weaker. What is going on?"
At that moment, other clan members were also drawn over, filled with disbelief as if they were dreaming. Zhou Xing noticed that the curse was actually here and quickly walked over, pointing at the room where Huo Feng was and asking, "Wu Er, what is going on?"
Zhou Wu was still in shock and couldn't believe that Huo Feng could help them like this. He replied, "I don't know either. Brother Fire Phoenix can help us increase our strength, so I let him take the wooden sword."
"This is incredible! This Qixi is almost indistinguishable from the complete Soul of the Tree Heart. Could it be that the ancestors truly favor our Wanmu Family?" Zhou Xing had already shed tears.
At this moment, Huo Feng had completely embedded the Origin Force sphere into the hilt of the wooden sword. He appeared before everyone, holding the shimmering wooden sword with some weakness.
