Tree Spirit Species and Planetary Will
"Hey! You over there! Using your senses to scan other people's property like that, have you no manners?!"
A young voice echoed from beneath the shadowy tree, tinged with obvious anger.
A cool breeze blew by at just the right time, rustling the layers of leaves above.
If the intruder present were an ordinary Heaven Realm Awakened, they would have acted immediately, adhering to the principle of striking first.
But Shisui simply stopped, a faint smile on his face that betrayed no emotion.
His gaze instantly locked onto an exceptionally thick tree in the distance, and transparent Feather Powder slowly enveloped it.
"What are you looking at! I told you to put away your uncontrolled senses, didn't you hear me?"
Seemingly angered by the Shisui and indifferent attitude, the young voice roared again.
Following closely behind are the lignified root systems that break through the soil and surge out from the ground.
Strands of light peeked through the gaps in the leaves, illuminating the suddenly emerging tree roots and giving them a faint, metallic sheen.
Clearly, this doesn't resemble the root of an ordinary plant.
Shisui could naturally see the clues.
Therefore, he had no intention of taking this attack head-on.
With a light touch of its toes, it floated down to the side, controlling the distance perfectly, just barely brushing past the tree roots.
The tree root, having missed its initial strike, quickly adjusted its position and swept towards Shisui's direction.
Meanwhile, several more things emerged from the ground, attempting to trap Shisui within them.
But this is ultimately just wishful thinking.
At this moment, Shisui had already figured out his opponent's skill level.
Heaven Realm Second Realm, but his Psychic Energy was mixed with an aura far superior to his own.
Before the attack arrived, his body spun around with the Ukaku on his back, and the sharp edges of the wings instantly unleashed an arc-shaped slash.
"Click! Click! Click!..."
A series of snapping sounds rang out.
These tree roots couldn't withstand the blow and were all snapped in half.
The strike crashed into other trees in the forest, creating a loud "boom" and felling many trees before dissipating.
If the tree that attacked Shisui hadn't been far enough away, the strike would have been enough to severely injure him.
The tree also sensed that Shisui with.
Seeing that his usual tricks had failed, the several strands of energy that had been attached to him quickly dissipated.
This is a forest; there are plenty of trees.
He believed that as long as he completely concealed his aura, his enemies would not be able to find him.
However, this time his hopes will be dashed once again.
Shisui could easily crush him, so naturally he could also use his senses to pinpoint his location before Zi Sui could completely retract his Psychic Energy.
Moreover, the brief exchange just now was enough time for the Feather Powder that had been dispersed beforehand to surround the prey.
With a mere flash, causing a slight fluctuation in Spatial Energy, Shisui appeared a kilometer away in the next instant.
The Feather Powder that had been intentionally made transparent immediately returned to normal.
The overconfident tree then realized that a thick fog had enveloped it and the hunter before it, isolating it from the outside world.
A nameless fear welled up in my heart, and the tall trees rustled their leaves, their voices trembling as they spoke.
"Uh, buddy, that was just a joke, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."
Shisui maintained his ambiguous smile, and with each step he took closer to the trees, the thick fog around him compressed inward a little more.
A voice rang out, carrying the oppressive aura of Predator, "Unfortunately, I'm quite vengeful."
Several Radiant Feathers struck, piercing through the tree trunks.
Immediately afterwards, the trees let out painful howls.
The Radiant Feathers exerted their strength upwards, uprooting the tree completely.
Then, the surrounding fog began to intensify.
Their inward squeezing speed suddenly increased.
"Click click click..."
The cries for mercy mingled with the sounds of wood being squeezed and deformed, all of which were then isolated by the Feather Powder in an increasingly smaller space.
Ten seconds later, the fog dissipated, and Shisui held a round wooden ball about the size of a human head in his hand.
It felt warm to the touch.
Through the hard wooden shell, one can almost faintly hear the sound of a heartbeat.
If you look closely with your Kakugan, you'll find that only the outer layer of the wooden ball is made of compressed wood.
Inside is a crystal that radiates a gentle energy.
The scattered dark green energy emanating from it was incredibly intense and could no longer be compressed.
In Shisui's keen perception, the powerful aura that had been mixed with the Psychic Energy emanating from the trees originated from this place.
"If I'm not mistaken, this must be the legendary Tree Spirit Heart that every Tree Spirit Species can condense."
The Tree Spirit Heart, as the name suggests, refers to the "heart" of the Tree Spirit Species.
As the core of the Tree Spirit Species's body, its most well-known function is to bear the Tree Spirit's soul and most of its energy.
Its other functions are rarely mentioned, so much so that no outsiders know about them.
However, this was no challenge for Shisui.
The Kakugan fixed on the Tree Spirit Heart and the energy within it.
An invisible energy connects the Tree Spirit Heart, the depths of the forest, and the earth beneath our feet.
Tracing these links backward, consciousness first spreads to the "end" in the more nearby underground.
The energy fluctuations from the Planetary Consciousness acted like an impenetrable firewall, instantly repelling Shisui's perception.
There was clearly a hint of warning in it.
However, it doesn't matter if we can't delve into the mysteries within.
The mere confirmation that the other end of the link is the will of the planet is enough to reveal a wealth of crucial information.
Clearly, there is indeed an extremely close connection between the Tree Spirit Species and the Planetary Will.
Upon closer reflection, this was not entirely unexpected.
After all, the Tree Spirit Species is rooted in the soil and absorbs energy continuously.
In a sense, they are like parasites on a planet.
Therefore, the energy exchange between them must have been quite frequent, and their connection must have been very close.
However, one can't help but wonder what exactly the Planetary Will can gain from these Tree Spirit Species?
After being resolutely denied access by the Planetary Will, it wasn't long before the Shisui consciousness finally managed to spread into the depths of the forest.
Just then, a gentle voice suddenly rang out. "Child, don't go any further."
The voice was like a gentle spring breeze, soft and warm, yet it contained an undeniable power.
At the same time, a similarly gentle energy appeared along with the sound.
An invisible barrier rose from the ground at the level of consciousness, firmly blocking the Shisui prying eyes.
Although the energy seemed quite gentle, Shisui still keenly sensed a faint, almost imperceptible, sense of oppression emanating from it.
Without a doubt, the owner of this energy is one of the Tree Spirit Species at the Heaven-Controlling Realm, and also the oldest being on Ruolan Star — the Long-Life Elder.
Greetings, Your Excellency.
Shisui fabricated well-intentioned emotional fluctuations and conveyed them to the other party.
But the Long-Life Elder remained unmoved, saying, "If it's about worldly troubles, don't bother this old man."
"Leave behind the souls of my people's children, then return the way you came."
They refuse to cooperate.
The little patience that had arisen in Shisui vanished abruptly.
Since the other party refused to cooperate, he couldn't be bothered to say anything more.
He has no obligation to warn an enemy of impending danger.
Shisui ignored the words of the Long-Life Elder and left without putting down the Tree Spirit Heart.
The Long-Life Elder immediately tried to stop him.
But the next moment, he found that his body and soul were unable to move due to the rapid circulation of energy.
The Long-Life Elder remained frozen in place, strangely immobilized.
