Several days later, in the northern part of Siberia along the coast.
“Rumble, rumble, rumble…” Accompanied by fearsome tremors, a towering tree was moving along the ground.
“That must be the place.” Looking at a small island in the distance across the ocean, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze narrowed slightly. With his current vision, he could naturally tell that it was a small island.
Just at that moment, as if sensing his presence…
*Screech, Screech…* Sharp, grating cries came from high above.
Looking up, two Monk Vultures bathing in flames could be seen hovering in the sky.
“Inferno Birds..” Yu Zi Yu let out a soft chuckle. He then also saw two familiar figures on the back of the Inferno Birds, one was the Panda, Brewmaster, and the other was White Snake.
However, it was quite surprising that White Snake’s body had grown longer and her whole body seemed to be frozen, giving off an inexplicable sheen under the sun.
“I guess, White Snake has been having a wonderful time,” Yu Zi Yu nonchalantly commented.
Also, he could not help but notice the significant increase in White Snake’s aura.
As an Ice-Attribute Mutant Beast, someone who loved the Ice Element, a medium-sized Ice-Attribute Spirit Stone Mine was an absolute treasure trove for White Snake. If other Ice-Attribute Mutant Beasts’ absorption speed of Ice-Attribute Spirit Stone Mine was one, then White Snake’s absorption speed might be two or even three.
With such a terrifying absorption rate, White Snake’s cultivation speed was naturally astonishing.
“Divine Tree…”
“Master…”
Greeting in unison, both Brewmaster and White Snake, riding on the vultures, descending from the sky.
“En.” Yu Zi Yu nodded slightly in response as the corner of his lips curled up into a smile.
But now was not the time for a reunion.
Yu Zi Yu gazed deeply at the nearby island. With his senses, he could detect the rich Ice Elements.
“This might really be a medium-sized Ice-Attribute Spirit Stone Mine…” mumbling in a calm voice, Yu Zi Yu could not help but show a hint of excitement.
A medium-sized Ice Elemental stone mine was worth a lot and was considered a first-class resource even among Human nations. Such a mine was enough to cultivate dozens or even hundreds of Ice-Attribute Transcendent. Its value was enormous.
However, now, this Ice-Attribute Ice-Attribute Spirit Stone Mine belonged to him.
With a grin, Yu Zi Yu’s tremendous Spiritual Energy surged.
In a moment, a deafening clap resounded as the earth shook violently.
Following that, to the astonishment of Brewmaster and White Snake, Yu Zi Yu’s body slowly sank into the ground.
Yes, he was sinking into the ground.
He sank deeper and deeper, as if using an Earth Escape Technique.
With his ability, River of Earth, it was not that difficult. In the face of River of Earth, even the hardest of the ground would turn as soft as mud, allowing him to easily pass through. Thus, Yu Zi Yu was able to sink into the earth until he was no longer visible on the surface.
“Divine Tree?” Bewildered, Brewmaster looked at the barren ground where the tree had vanished.
“Let’s go. We’ll wait for him on the island.” Saying that, a Fox, bathing in flame, left, treading the very air itself.
“On the island?” Stunned for a moment, Brewmaster soon followed without hesitation.

He patted the vulture and headed in the direction they had come from.
At this moment, he could faintly sense some movements in the Arctic Ocean. Vaguely, he felt as if a massive creature was moving through the cold Ocean.
…
A short while after this…
At the center of the island…
*Boom, boom, boom…*
Continuous tremors surged, uncontrollably shaking the entire island. At the same time, from the peak of the island’s central mountain peak, a burst of emerald green light flashed.
Moments later…
*Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…* Thousands of glowing willow leaves broke through the ground before a radiant tree emerged from the earth.
*Hoooo…* Looking at the Arctic Ocean spanning several kilometers, Yu Zi Yu exhaled a long, deep breath, relieved.
Fortunately for Yu Zi Yu, the ocean was shallow here, and the island was not that far. Otherwise, it would have been an excruciating journey for him.
After all, his primary root extended thousands of kilometers into the earth.
While his ability, River of Earth, allowed him to easily traverse the ground, it was too troublesome to pull out his root.
In light of this, Yu Zi Yu could only choose to sink his tree body and travel underground, similar to Earth Escape.
Now, it appears that Earth Escape was quite useful.
Be that as it may, Yu Zi Yu could not help but feel a bit helpless.
“I must learn an ability to control my size or acquire a Divine Ability…” softly murmuring, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes could not stop flickering.
While his enormous body granted him tremendous power, it was extremely inconvenient. A journey that would have taken Bull Demon a day or two instead took him 8-9 days to complete.
This inconvenience could not be described in words alone.
If he did not find a solution, as his primary root was upgraded and even went deeper into the earth, it would be even more difficult for him to move.
While these thoughts were swirling in his mind, his countless roots had already delved deep into the island.
A short while after, his lips curled up into a smile, as if sensing something.
“Found it.” Saying this, Yu Zi Yu’s consciousness shifted to a particular rootlet.
The next moment, he saw an ice mountain through the perspective of that rootlet…
Immediately after, a chill slowly started spreading. He felt as if he was in a thousand-year-old ice cavern, with an endless expanse of pure white.
At the same time, the dense and tenacious Ice-Attribute Spiritual Energy continued to condense in the air.
“The Ice-Attribute Spirit Stone Mine…” softly murmuring, Yu Zi Yu controlled numerous rootlets toward the Spirit Stone Mine.
Moments later…
*Boom Boom Boom…*
With countless roots expanding and contracting, an extremely dense chill spread along the rootlets.
In an instant, Yu Zi Yu’s tree body turned completely pure white, covered in countless ice flakes.
(Ashish: Earth Escape is a technique seen in many martial arts novels, it’s a technique to travel through the earth by merging with the earth or pushing aside the soil around the user.)
