Chapter 79 The Demon Tree, A World-Shaking Wisdom
Shi Zhao's spirit accompanied Shi Hao, and the two traveled through the golden passage, heading towards the center of the Hundred Broken Mountains.
In the end, they traversed a total of twenty-four regions, encountering more and more powerful creatures along the way, making the place increasingly lively.
Along the way, they would inevitably encounter many battles, as the geniuses of all races were heading towards the center, which would inevitably lead to conflicts and battles.
Of course, most of the time Shi Zhao would protect his younger brothers in front of him, and he would rarely make a move unless there were too many opponents or he was itching to test his magic.
They spent several days on the road before finally entering a desolate area.
There are no plants or trees here, no life; the earth is crimson, as if it had been soaked in blood.
"The Treasure Sharing Cliff contains many lost treasures; perhaps the sword you're looking for is among them," Shi Zhao said.
On the way, Shi Hao naturally poured out all his experiences over the past few days, as he had nothing to hide from his sister.
"I hope we can find Ghost Master's lost sword. I don't want to be cursed." He frowned, looking very resentful. No one would be happy if they were inexplicably afflicted with a curse.
Not far away, two stone mountains formed a gateway, with black mist swirling inside, shrouding a large area of ruins. Occasionally, magical artifacts would fly up, flashing with light and making a sound as they pierced the air.
Before the majestic and towering mountain gate, numerous creatures, some with thick scales and armor, some with bright and colorful wings, and some dressed in precious robes, crowded the area outside the mountain gate.
Many creatures walked back and forth, undecided whether to go in or not. Many pure-blooded ferocious beasts also came, hoping to find a treasure here.
Amidst the splashing clouds, a plant resembling a dandelion appeared. It was not a grass, but a tree, with vibrant green leaves. At its upper part was a snow-white sphere that emitted a crystalline glow, with some falling off like white fluff and drifting into the distance.
Although it is a plant, its roots are like feet, allowing it to walk, and they are incredibly fast.
Upon arriving here, it took root in the ground, absorbing the essence of the earth and remaining still.
"The Demon Tree!" Shi Zhao's eyes flickered slightly. Her ultimate goal in coming here was related to this kind of creature, but it was not advisable to make a big move now.
Many people were horrified and retreated.
The white fluff falling from the Pumo tree is deadly, known as the cursed demon whiskers. As soon as it lands on you, it will immediately take root and drain your life essence.
"I've heard that in ancient times, there once existed a demon tree that possessed extraordinary power, even slaying gods. Its demonic whiskers drifted down and took root in the flesh and blood of a deity, absorbing all of his essence and spirit!"
"That's right. It is said that it was only through the combined efforts of all the saints that the Demon Tree was finally slain, but it also resulted in the shedding of countless holy blood. That battle was extremely difficult."
The characteristics of the Pumo Tree were so obvious that people from some ancient and powerful forces quickly recalled the ancient legends.
Upon hearing this, everyone avoided it like the plague, quickly making way for it, and no one dared to approach.
Shi Zhao shook her head slightly; she knew more.
The ancient Pumo Tree actually came from the vast uninhabited area of the upper realm. It was chased all the way to the lower realm, where it stirred up boundless storms in the eight domains and devoured countless living beings.
Finally, only through a united effort by the entire nation was it managed to annihilate them.
In addition, during the battle of the Immortal Ancient Realm, there was also a Demon King Pu from another realm!
Pu Mowang was a giant among the immortal kings, with extremely powerful strength, not much weaker than Liu Shen, and had killed countless experts from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
However, this guy was really stubborn and always liked to challenge the strongest, resulting in him encountering one tough opponent after another.
In the ancient times, it first fought a great battle with the True Dragon, then encountered the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, and finally, in a bloodthirsty frenzy, went to fight the Endless Immortal King.
Then it was killed by the Immortal King Wuzhong.
However, the Demon King Pu was not completely dead. His body was taken away by the alien realm, where his essence and blood were preserved, and some of his primordial spirit imprints also escaped death.
"As expected of a plant-type immortal king, his vitality is so strong. He didn't die completely even after all that trouble." Shi Zhao couldn't help but think of the one he worshipped.
In a sense, they are quite similar.
Willow God's experience was actually more tortuous than that of Pu Demon King. As the ancestral spirit of the Immortal Ancestor, he was reborn from the ashes more than once, and each time he was able to start over.
Rising from ruin, reviving from oblivion, growing ever stronger!
Thinking of this, she recalled a fallen Chaos Azure Lotus Immortal King, who seemed to be a giant who suffered another calamity after his Nirvana and never truly died.
Shi Zhao's expression inexplicably became somewhat strange.
If we had to pinpoint a common thread among the three, it seems they all share a hidden commonality: extraordinary wisdom.
"Ahem, by the grace of the Willow Goddess, as you know, I have always been your faithful follower!"
'
'
In front of Shicun Village, the thick trunks of the willow trees were charred black, but now some old bark has fallen off in some places, giving them new life and new branches that are swaying in the wind.
"Sister, are you interested in that tree? I'll cut it down for you!" Shi Hao said fiercely, waving his little fist as if he had sensed something.
"That tree is no ordinary tree; I have my own plans." Shi Zhao shook his head, slightly raised his eyes, chuckled, and said, "That nine-headed lion seems to know you?"
This is a forced attempt to change the subject, but the nine-headed lion is indeed very eye-catching, its whole body shining brightly, as if cast in gold, attracting attention wherever it goes.
"That's my little brother." Shi Hao's eyes lit up. He pushed aside the many creatures and quickly squeezed forward, quite fiercely, as if he were in an empty place.
"Human, you have entered an area you should not have entered," warned an ancient remnant.
"Don't mess with me, or I'll eat you up!" Shi Hao said, puffing out his cheeks, kicking the attacking beast away, knocking out its teeth. He was extremely ferocious.
Then, his identity was exposed, attracting even more attention, but any attackers who were not human-shaped turned into stewed meat and barbecue feasts.
Shi Zhao smiled, but instead of joining in the folly, he suddenly struck with lightning speed, severing a branch of the Pumo Tree before gracefully departing.
She has no shortage of Noble Phantasms, and her fighting style does not rely on weapons.
Of course, there is indeed an extraordinary object here, or rather, an unusual creature, but that is not her destiny, as it is incompatible with her nature.
Most importantly, I have a crucial and incredibly challenging mission on my shoulders, and I have very little time to waste.
In fact, Shi Zhao had not originally planned to show up and meet Xiao Shi, but he softened his heart and accompanied him all the way.
"It's so difficult, so incredibly difficult! Damn it, does it really have to be this way?"
Several days later, in a remote and desolate place, a girl dressed in a green dress rarely complained, and even seemed to be in a state of impotent rage.
Finally, she sighed deeply, seemingly resigned to her fate.
