Ye Fan also put down the book in his hand, looking at Bananajun with a confused expression.
He felt incredibly energized, the kind that could handle staying up all night without issue!
What the heck!
What kind of mutated monstrosity was Bananajun?
It was practically an anti-fatigue artifact!
Something was off.
Were there any plant-type demonic beasts with such characteristics...
Perhaps only the World Tree?
Could Bananajun be related to the World Tree?
This thought even surprised Ye Fan himself.
The World Tree, as the name implied, was the tree of this world.
It was the foundation of the cultivation world, or rather, the World Tree had birthed the entire cultivation world.
At least, that was the case in the worlds he had transmigrated to before.
But…
Wasn't that too unbelievable?
The World Tree was a unique existence, after all.
And as the entity supporting the entire world, its position was fixed and unmoving. It could never wander around with Ye Fan and the others like Bananajun.
Moreover, even if the World Tree of this world was unconventional, Bananajun’s current strength didn't befit the status of a World Tree.
As for being a descendant of the World Tree, that was even more impossible.
The World Tree had no concept of offspring.
If the World Tree were to perish, the entire cultivation world would cease to exist.
But if it wasn't the World Tree, what else could it be?
Thinking of things related to life energy, the World Tree was the only thing that came to mind.
Perhaps…
It was some local specialty of this world?
After much thought, that seemed to be the only explanation…
Compared to an existence like the World Tree, a local specialty was much easier to accept…
When Bananajun woke up again, it was already the next day.
As it stirred, the room returned to normal.
"Big Sis... *burp*... I really can't eat anymore..." Bananajun felt a sense of dread as the little demoness eagerly held out a pill.
Big Sister!
We have no grudges, why do you want to stuff me to death…
"Big Banana..." The little demoness looked at Bananajun with a look of disbelief, "What exactly are you…? You’ve reached Void Comprehension Layer 8 in one night???"
Yesterday, when she and Ye Fan left, Bananajun was still only at Nascent Soul stage!
In one night, it had skipped Divine Transformation and was nearing Void Return???
This couldn't be described as just exceptionally talented!
It was monstrous… no, even more monstrous than monstrous!!!
At this moment, the little demoness felt her worldview collapsing…
In comparison, Ye Fan was much calmer.
If Bananajun was truly related to the World Tree, then this level of advancement wasn't surprising.
After all, the World Tree transcended the heavenly dao and couldn't be measured by low-level concepts like cultivation stages.
Let alone jumping a major realm in a night, reaching max level was entirely possible.
Of course, yesterday Ye Fan had speculated that Bananajun might also be a local species.
If so, all he could say was that this local specialty was quite potent…
As for why Bananajun, with such an impressive background, would be stuffed to the point of discomfort by pills…
Ye Fan felt that even with a hundred lifetimes combined, he was still just a novice of a million years, and he didn't understand everything!
"I don't know either..." Bananajun scratched its head in confusion. "I just inexplicably reached Void Comprehension… it doesn't feel like cultivation is that difficult…"
The little demoness rolled her eyes speechlessly.
You're showing off!
I never expected you to be such a Big Banana!
Although she hadn't deliberately cultivated to reach her current realm, the suffering and hardships she endured along the way were far more intense than normal cultivation!
Even though she had made it sound simple when talking to Ye Fan back then, the actual experiences were beyond what an ordinary person could imagine!
Even now.
Those memories, more terrifying than death, would constantly appear in her mind, entwining her as nightmarish specters…
Her usual carefree and cheerful demeanor was just a strong facade.
Seeing Bananajun’s effortless and natural progress…
The little demoness suddenly felt an urge to cry…
"Big Banana, you've learned from Little Chicken!" The little demoness unhappily picked up Bananajun and grumbled, pointing at its core.
"Huh?" The little demoness let out a surprised sound upon feeling the texture in her hand.
"Big Sister... what is it..." Bananajun felt a bad premonition as it saw the little demoness staring at it with shining eyes.
"It has indeed changed." The little demoness curiously played with Bananajun in her hand. "It feels different to the touch than before."
It was a very peculiar sensation.
The little demoness didn't quite know how to describe it specifically.
If she had to say, it felt very comfortable.
The kind that made you not want to stop once you started.
It was like…
Petting a cat?
"Ye Fan, you try." The little demoness casually handed Bananajun to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan took Bananajun, not understanding: "Is it as exaggerated as you say… hmm?"
As soon as he touched it, Ye Fan's expression changed drastically!
The little demoness wasn't exaggerating at all!
It felt too wonderful!
Ye Fan instinctively hugged Bananajun diagonally, his right hand sliding back and forth along its core.
This feeling was even more satisfying than petting a cat!
Who could resist petting a giant banana that was more satisfying than a cat?!
Ye Fan certainly couldn't…
The scene immediately turned bizarre.
Ye Fan held a giant banana, larger than a baby, in his left arm, and gently slid his right hand back and forth.
He even closed his eyes in contentment…
Bananajun itself felt that something was off.
Its intuition told it that this feeling was strange.
But for some reason, it found that its body seemed to be enjoying this sensation…
Before long.
A faint snoring sound could be heard.
Bananajun had actually fallen asleep like this…
After placing Bananajun back on the bed, they both glanced at the mountain chicken lying beside it.
The mountain chicken was still lying there motionlessly, with no unusual signs.
"Looks like we'll have to wait a few days. Let's go out first," Ye Fan muttered softly, leading the little demoness away.
For the next few days, Bananajun completely transformed into their pet.
The little demoness stopped feeding it medicine and instead, would often hold it and pet it to her heart's content.
Bananajun seemed to enjoy it too, not resisting at all.
When the little demoness petted it, it would hold its book and let itself be petted peacefully…
However, Bananajun didn't slack off either.
As soon as the medicinal effects were sufficiently absorbed, it would take another pill itself.
Time flew by, and eight days passed.
Bananajun bid farewell to the little demoness and returned to its room to continue cultivating.
The pills Ye Fan had given them were divided into two portions, and only two were left for it.
Actually, it was only one, as it wasn't planning to take the shapeshifting pill for now.
It was mainly afraid that if it fell into a deep slumber, something might happen to the mountain chicken and it wouldn't be able to respond in time.
If it was just normal cultivation, it could sense any anomaly with the mountain chicken immediately.
After dissolving the last pill for cultivation, Bananajun resumed its coiled meditation.
As it continuously absorbed the medicinal energy, Bananajun's cultivation level steadily increased.
It was on the verge of breaking through to Void Comprehension Layer 9!
Strictly speaking, every breakthrough of a major realm starting from Nascent Soul required undergoing a lightning tribulation.
Bananajun had not encountered any lightning tribulations during its breakthroughs so far. It subconsciously assumed that Ye Fan or the little demoness had taken care of it.
After all, in terms of cultivation knowledge, it was even more lacking than the little demoness.
Its cultivation continued until deep into the night of the second day.
A dense green light of vitality once again filled the entire room, and eight golden dragon phantoms, each over a meter long, constantly coiled and danced within the room!
And the barrier between Void Comprehension Layer 8 and 9 finally shattered!
Void Comprehension Layer 9, achieved!
If cultivators who had toiled for thousands of years and were still in the early stages of Void Comprehension or even Divine Transformation saw this scene, they would likely despair and hang themselves.
Just as Bananajun was about to continue, it suddenly forced itself out of its cultivation state.
Because the mountain chicken, which had been motionless beside it, suddenly showed signs of activity!
The spiritual energy in the room surged as if possessed, rushing frantically into the mountain chicken's body!
