Chapter 276: 191 Tree Person_1

Even the Spirit Eye Spring was not something any Core Formation cultivator could possess.

The Spirit Eye Spring was movable, and as Shen Long muttered words under his breath, a dazzling Spiritual Light shone from the palm of his hand.

The Sky-Supporting Peak trembled violently before returning to normal.

Inside the Mulong Hall, Shen Long took away the Spirit Eye Spring, intending to place it within the Spirit Control Tower.

Exiting the second stone chamber, he cast a spell, and a Giant Ape Puppet Beast punched the door of the third stone chamber. The door shattered into pieces, revealing a black pool tens of zhang in size within the room, with two black lotuses in it, each lotus possessing five petals.

"Heavenly Soul Dark Lotus!"

Shen Long gasped in shock.

Heavenly Soul Dark Lotus was even more precious than the Seven Stars Spirit Cultivating Fruit. As far as Shen Long knew, this Spiritual Medicine usually grew in Heavenly Soul True Water, which was a fourth-grade Spirit Water that nourished the Divine Soul. It was typically used to cultivate Divine Soul-type Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Fruits.

Heavenly Soul True Water was naturally occurring and extremely valuable.

Shen Long noticed some black droplets on the stone wall above the pool.

He approached, released a dozen Gold-Winged Fire Ants into the pool, but the ants showed no anomalies.

His hand reached into the water, and an indescribable sense of exhilaration came from the depths of his divine soul, almost as if he was basking in the spring breeze.

He confirmed that it was indeed Heavenly Soul True Water, and now he had struck it rich. If he sold the Heavenly Soul True Water, even Nascent Soul Cultivators would be tempted.

Shen Long carefully excavated the two Heavenly Soul Dark Lotuses, took out a palm-sized black gourd, and cast a spell into it. The black gourd emitted a black halo, enveloping the Heavenly Soul True Water.

The Heavenly Soul True Water was drawn into the black gourd by the black halo, leaving not a single drop behind.

He put away the black gourd and left.

"The final stone chamber, I hope there’s something good in there,"

Shen Long muttered, his face filled with anticipation.

The Giant Ape Puppet Beast shattered the door of the fourth chamber with a punch, revealing a plot of land covered by a thick, green light barrier. Within the barrier was a foot-tall golden grass with five round leaves.

"Demon Attracting Grass!"

Shen Long inhaled sharply.

The Demon Attracting Grass grew a leaf every three hundred years, and this one was about to grow a sixth, making it over fifteen hundred years old. It would certainly have no trouble luring fourth-grade Monster Beasts.

The Nine Curves Demon Attracting Incense was very attractive to Monster Beasts of the third grade and below, but not so much to those of the fourth grade. This Demon Attracting Grass was different.

The Giant Ape Puppet Beast stepped in, punching the green light barrier, which emitted a muffled sound and caved in, then swiftly restored its form.

Shen Long released the Fire Qilin Beast whose singular horn glowed red. It shot out a beam of red light at the green light barrier.

The green light barrier shattered like a bubble, and the Fire Qilin Beast let out a low, proud roar, as if claiming credit.

Shen Long took out a Golden Apricot Fruit, fed it to the Fire Qilin Beast, and returned it to its Spiritual Beast bag.

He stepped forward and carefully dug up the Demon Attracting Grass, placing it into a green jade box. He then took out a silver shining Talisman and affixed it to the surface of the box.

A third-order Sealing Spirit Talisman could prevent the medicinal effect of the Spiritual Medicine from dissipating, a treasure Shen Long had seized from an enemy.

He put away the third-order Puppet Beast and left the Mulong Hall.

The Hundred Eyes Cicada’s eyes emitted a dazzling golden light as it surveyed the situation within a hundred miles.

"Eh, a Two-Tailed Spiritual Fox."

Shen Long let out a soft exclamation as the Hundred Eyes Cicada flew towards the southwest direction, and he followed.

Before long, Shen Long and the Hundred Eyes Cicada arrived in a narrow valley with a cave not far away.

"Eh, such a quick reaction, it’s actually running away, and quite fast at that."

Shen Long was somewhat surprised. The Two-Tailed Spiritual Fox’s sense of smell was sharp; it had detected Shen Long and immediately burrowed to escape.

He summoned the Zyphyxial Blade and swung it, unleashing a huge red blade light that swept out, passing over the cave and splitting it in two.

Deep underground, a yellow fox with two tails was enveloped in a yellow glow, moving rapidly forward.

A sharp and piercing screech rang by its ears, and the yellow fox felt as if it had struck a copper wall and iron barrier, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Before it could recover, an astonishing wave of Spiritual Energy swept over it.

With a thunderous roar, the ground exploded, and a huge red blade light burst forth from the earth. A bloodied yellow fox was flung out from the ground, instantly appearing above a dense forest.

A gust of wind swept by, revealing the Gold-Winged Windroc that appeared out of nowhere, its talons diving straight for the yellow fox.

The talons of the Gold-Winged Windroc easily pierced through the yellow fox’s head, and the Two-Tailed Spiritual Fox met its end.

Just then, a wild wind blew, picking up numerous leaves that turned into sharp blades, hurtling towards the Gold-Winged Windroc.

With a flap of its wings, the Gold-Winged Windroc avoided the falling leaves.

Thick roots burst out from the ground, twisting together to form long green whips that lashed at the Gold-Winged Windroc.

The Gold-Winged Windroc’s wings gently flapped, and it vanished from the spot, evading the green whips.

Shen Long and the Hundred Eyes Cicada emerged from underground, his face showing an interested expression.

"Tree Demon!"

He slapped the two Spirit Beast pouches at his waist, and over a hundred thousand Gold-Winged Fire Ants along with the Fire Qilin Beast flew out. The Gold-Winged Fire Ants gathered into a golden spear and rushed towards the dense forest.

The Fire Qilin Beast opened its mouth and spewed a stream of red flames heading straight for the dense forest.

The large trees moved rapidly, with numerous leaves drifting down, transforming into green flying knives that aimed at the golden spear.

The green flying knives struck the golden spear, producing a dull sound, but the golden spear remained intact, bursting forth with golden flames.

The green flying knives that touched the golden flames instantly turned to ash.

The red flames landed on a large tree, which immediately caught fire. The flames spread quickly and the fire soared into the sky.

Shen Long took out a fan emitting a ceaseless red glow and with a light flick, hundreds of crimson fireballs flew out, smashing into the dense forest.

The booming explosions, coupled with rising flames, turned the dense forest into a sea of red fire.

Golden spears pierced through towering trees, engulfing them in gold flames that reduced them to ashes in an instant.

A giant tree swiftly moved, heading towards a distant location.

A gust of wind blew, and Shen Long appeared, a pair of golden wings on his back, wielding the Zyphyxial Blade in hand.

He swung the Zyphyxial Blade at the towering tree, which lit up with a dazzling green light but was still cleaved in two by Shen Long.

Shen Long frowned, his golden wings fluttering gently, and he vanished from the spot.

A towering tree shone with green light and moved swiftly.

Without warning, Shen Long reappeared in front of the tree. As it lit up with green light once again, a piercing screech rang out, and the green light on the surface of the towering tree dimmed.

A golden spear flew in, striking the towering tree precisely, followed by a dull sound as golden flames spread out, engulfing it.

The towering tree shone with bursts of green light, but the golden flames did not dissipate.

"If you’re sensible, submit to me, or I’ll slaughter you," Shen Long’s tone was ice-cold.

The golden flames surged, and the towering tree was reduced to ashes. Its true form used the Wood Escape Technique to flee from the place.

Shen Long snorted coldly, his golden wings fluttering gently, as he disappeared from his original location.

A green light moved rapidly through the dense forest, changing positions continuously and escaping a hundred li in one breath.

A strong wind blew, and Shen Long appeared, materializing in front of a towering tree with the Golden Sun Staff in his grasp.

The towering tree lit up with green light, and then, another sharp, piercing screech echoed within several miles.

Shen Long swung the Golden Sun Staff, striking the towering tree, which was uprooted and sent flying. Cracks appeared on its surface, a blinding green light shone, and the cracks healed.

Shen Long unleashed the Leading Thunder Pearl, pinching a spell, causing it to burst forth with blinding silver lightning. The sky flashed and thundered as thick silver bolts tore through the air, striking the towering tree.

Silver lightning swamped the towering tree, with more bolts striking other trees, instantly turning them to ashes. Within ten li, the area became a Sea of Thunder, with countless towering trees reduced to ashes.

"Spare me! I am willing to submit to you," a somewhat frightened male voice arose.

The thunder in the sky dissipated, revealing a charred towering tree.

The towering tree emitted a dazzling green light, its bark shedding, to reveal the young face of a boy on its trunk.

The Secret Realm had existed for an unknown time; a great tree had become sentient and evolved into a Tree Person.

"Eh, you can talk!" Shen Long voiced his surprise, as he knew tree demons of a high rank could speak the human language.

He recited an incantation, planning to implant a restriction.

If not for the Gold-Winged Windroc mastering the Wind Escape Technique and him holding the Leading Thunder Pearl, the Tree Person might have escaped.

Beast, feather, scale, insect, wood, spirit, Shen Long had collected them all.

The Tree Person instinctively resisted, but deafening peals of thunder echoed from above as thick silver bolts cleaved the sky. The Gold-Winged Fire Ant, Fire Qilin Beast, and Iron Tail Scorpion watched with baleful eyes.

Even with a thousand reluctances, the Tree Person let Shen Long plant the restrictions amidst the resounding thunder.

After planting several restrictions, Shen Long put away the Leading Thunder Pearl and descended to the ground.

The Tree Person also landed and rooted itself in the soil. ’

"How long have you been in the Core Formation Stage?" Shen Long asked.

"I don’t know, I’ve always been here since I became aware. I’ve never really counted the years," the Tree Person honestly replied.

"Do you know where there are powerful enchantments?" Shen Long inquired.

"Yes, the enchantments there are too strong," fear flickered in the eyes of the Tree Person.

"Lead me there immediately. Don’t play any tricks. Serve me well, and I won’t treat you unfairly. But if you dare to deceive me, I’ll extinguish you instantly," Shen Long cautioned.

"I understand," the Tree Person agreed.

"Hmm? What did you call me?" Shen Long raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, Master," the Tree Person respectfully responded.

"Lead the way! You’ll soon know the benefits of following me," Shen Long instructed.

The Tree Person moved swiftly toward the southwest.

Shen Long stored the Fire Qilin Beast and Gold-Winged Fire Ant into his Spirit Beast Pouch and followed, with the Iron Tail Scorpion burrowing underground.
