Plucking the Moon Laurel Tree's Origin, Xi He and Chang Xi's Shock

Xihe and Changxi exchanged a glance, seeing deep shock in each other's eyes.

"We don't know why the Great Venerable has graced our Moon Star. What business do you have here?"

Finally, Xi He, as the elder sister, spoke first. Though her tone was polite, it carried a hint of imperceptible vigilance.

Su Ming's gaze swept over the two women, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

As expected of the renowned goddesses of the Primordial World. Xihe is graceful, Changxi is lively, both are peerlessly beautiful.

He didn't beat around the bush, getting straight to the point.

"To be frank, esteemed fairies, I am here for the Moon Laurel Tree."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xi He and Chang Xi's expressions changed instantly.

Especially Chang Xi, whose eyebrows shot up. She stepped forward, shielding the Moon Laurel Tree, and looked at Su Ming vigilantly.

"The Moon Laurel Tree is the twin spiritual root of our sisters, and it is also the origin of the Moon Star. What do you want to do?"

To them, the Moon Laurel Tree was like half of their own bodies, and they absolutely would not allow any harm to come to it.

Seeing her act like a little beast protecting its food, Su Ming found it somewhat amusing.

He calmly explained, "I need to take a wisp of the Moon Laurel Tree's origin to cultivate a secret technique."

"No!" Chang Xi refused without a second thought. "Extracting its origin will damage the Moon Laurel Tree's foundation. We absolutely will not agree!"

Although Xi He didn't speak, her cool, clear eyes conveyed her stance.

Su Ming had anticipated this and was not surprised.

He smiled faintly, flipped his palm, and a crystal-clear leaf, as if condensed from Great Dao runes, appeared in his palm.

The moment the leaf appeared, an indescribable Dao rhythm permeated the air, making the surrounding lunar essence even more vibrant.

Xihe and Changxi's gazes were instantly drawn to the leaf.

Just by smelling its fragrance, they felt their Primordial Spirits clear up, and their understanding of the Great Dao of the Moon seemed to become a bit sharper!

What kind of divine object was this?!

"This is an Innate Enlightenment Tea, taken from the peak of Buzhou Mountain, imbued with the pure energy of Great God Pangu," Su Ming's voice echoed leisurely, carrying a fatal temptation.

"I will only take a wisp of the Moon Laurel Tree's origin, and will not harm its foundation. Afterwards, this Enlightenment Tea leaf will serve as compensation, how about it?"

Innate Enlightenment Tea!

Imbued with Pangu's pure energy!

The minds of Xi He and Chang Xi were greatly shaken, and their breathing became rapid.

For Innate Gods of their caliber, while Spiritual Treasures were precious, the most valuable things were always those that could help them comprehend the Great Dao and improve their cultivation!

And this Enlightenment Tea leaf was undoubtedly such a supreme treasure!

One leaf might save them several Aeons of arduous cultivation!

The vigilance in Changxi's eyes had unknowingly turned into intense desire. She subconsciously looked at her sister.

A storm also raged in Xi He's heart.

Looking at Su Ming's nonchalant demeanor, she was even more shocked.

Such a divine object, just taken out so casually?

Changxi couldn't make up her mind and instinctively glanced at her sister, Xihe.

Although Chang Xi had a lively, even somewhat willful personality, when it came to a matter as important as the Moon Laurel Tree, she ultimately had to listen to her sister.

Xi He made up her mind. She bowed slightly to Su Ming, and her cool voice gained a touch of solemnity. "The Great Venerable speaks too highly. Since the Great Venerable only needs a wisp of origin, and has this divine object as compensation, how could my sisters refuse?"

"Sister!" Hearing this, Chang Xi's face immediately bloomed with joy.

She looked at Su Ming, the vigilance in her eyes completely gone, replaced by intense curiosity and a hint of imperceptible admiration.

To be able to casually produce such a treasure, the origin of this Great Venerable was likely even more terrifying than they imagined.

"In that case, thank you, two esteemed fairies." Su Ming nodded slightly, his expression still calm, as if he had only taken out an ordinary item.

The more nonchalant he was, the more shocked Xi He and Chang Xi became.

This was the true demeanor of a supreme being!

Xi He stepped aside and bowed. "Great Venerable, please come with me."

The gates of Guanghan Palace slowly opened at their mental command.

Su Ming didn't stand on ceremony and stepped inside.

As soon as he entered Guanghan Palace, a power of the Moon Star's origin, thousands of times more concentrated than outside, washed over him. Inside the palace was another world.

Jade pavilions and carved railings, all meticulously crafted from elite ten-thousand-year-old cold jade, exuded a cold and sacred brilliance everywhere.

And in the very center of the palace stood the Moon Laurel Tree, reaching the heavens, a sight of extreme magnificence. Its enormous canopy covered almost the entire Guanghan Palace. Every leaf seemed to be condensed from moonlight, flowing with profound Dao patterns. The trunk was ancient and vigorous, emitting an aura of eternal immortality.

Here, at the core of the Moon Star, lies the source of the Primordial World's Yin power.

Su Ming's goal was clear. Without pausing to admire the scenery of Guanghan Palace, his figure flickered, and he appeared directly before the main trunk of the Moon Laurel Tree.

Xi He and Chang Xi's hearts instantly tensed again, their gazes locked onto Su Ming's every move.

Su Ming brought his fingers together like a sword, a wisp of gray mist swirling around his fingertips. The mist seemed ordinary, yet it exuded a terrifying sharpness capable of obliterating all laws and shattering the Great Dao.

"This is... the Law of Strength?!" Xi He's pupils contracted sharply.

She could feel that the wisp of mist on Su Ming's fingertip contained a power of law that shared the same origin as the Law of Strength wielded by the legendary Great God Pangu!

Su Ming didn't answer. He merely gently touched a branch on the Moon Laurel Tree that, while not particularly conspicuous, pulsed with vigorous life, and made a light stroke.

"Swish!"

There was no earth-shattering sound, nor any violent fluctuation of magic power.

The wrist-thick branch of the Moon Laurel Tree simply snapped off silently, the cut as smooth as a mirror, with not the slightest leakage of energy.

The severed branch did not fall but was held by an invisible force, slowly floating before Su Ming.

At the cut on the tree trunk, the primal power of the Moon Star flowed, and a silver light flashed. The wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, it was completely restored, showing no trace of injury.

The entire process was fluid and executed with extreme precision.

The primal aura of the Moon Laurel Tree only fluctuated imperceptibly at the instant the branch was severed, then immediately returned to stability.

Just as Su Ming had said, he had only taken a trace of its essence, causing no substantial damage to the Moon Laurel Tree's foundation.

"So... so powerful control!" Chang Xi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

She and her sister knew better than anyone how sturdy the Moon Laurel Tree was. Even the top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasures would find it incredibly difficult to leave even a mark on it.

Yet, Su Ming, with just his fingers, had so easily and casually cut off a branch and controlled his power so perfectly.

This strength was simply unfathomable!
