Tree Man
Even the Spirit Eye Spring is not something that just any Core Formation Cultivator can possess.
The Spirit Eye Spring is movable. Shen Long muttered incantations as a dazzling spiritual light shone from his palm.
The Sky-Supporting Peak shook violently, but quickly returned to normal.
Wood Dragon Hall, Shen Long took away the Spirit Eye Spring, intending to place it in the Spirit Control Tower.
He stepped out of the second Stone Chamber, made a hand seal, and the Giant Ape Puppet Beast punched the door of the third Stone Chamber, shattering it into pieces. Inside, there was a black pool several tens of feet in size, with two black lotus flowers in the pool, each with five petals.
"Heaven Soul Ghost Lotus!"
Shen Long gasped.
The Heaven Soul Ghost Lotus is even more precious than the Seven-Star Soul-Nourishing Fruit. As far as Shen Long knows, this spirit medicine usually grows in Heaven Soul True Water Heaven Soul True Water, which is a fourth-order spiritual water that has the effect of nourishing the soul and is usually used to cultivate spirit medicine and fruits related to the soul.
Heaven Soul True Water is naturally occurring and extremely precious.
Shen Long noticed some black water droplets on the stone wall above the pool.
Shen Long stepped forward and released more than a dozen Golden-Winged Fire Ant, which landed in the pool. The Golden-Winged Fire Ant showed no abnormalities.
He dipped his palm into the pool, and a feeling of indescribable pleasure welled up from the depths of his soul, as if he were bathing in a spring breeze.
He was certain it was Heaven Soul True Water. He was going to strike it rich. Even Nascent Soul Cultivator would be tempted to sell Heaven Soul True Water.
Shen Long carefully dug up two Heaven Soul Ghost Lotus, took out a palm-sized Black Gourd, and cast a spell. The Black Gourd emitted a Black Glow that enveloped the Heaven Soul True Water.
The Heaven Soul True Water was swept into the Black Gourd by the Black Glow, leaving not a single drop.
He put away the Black Gourd and went outside.
"The last Stone Chamber, hopefully it contains something good."
Shen Long muttered to himself, a look of longing on his face.
The Giant Ape Puppet Beast smashed the door of the fourth Stone Chamber with a punch, revealing a field. A thick Cyan Light Screen covered the field, and in the field grew a small golden grass about a foot tall with five round leaves.
"Monster Luring Grass!"
Shen Long gasped.
The Monster Luring Grass grows one leaf every three hundred years, and this Monster Luring Grass is about to grow its sixth leaf, making it over 1,500 years old. It will definitely have no problem attracting Fourth-Rank Spirit Beast.
The Nine-Curve Monster Luring Incense is very attractive to Demon Beast below the fourth rank, but has little appeal to Fourth-Rank Spirit Beast. This Monster Luring Grass is different.
The Giant Ape Puppet Beast went inside and punched the Cyan Light Screen. A muffled sound was heard, and the Cyan Light Screen dented, but quickly returned to normal.
Shen Long released the Fire Qilin Beast. The Fire Qilin Beast's single horn lit up with a red light and emitted a beam of red light that struck the Cyan Light Screen.
The Cyan Light Screen shattered like a bubble, and the Fire Qilin Beast let out a low roar, seemingly seeking praise.
Shen Long took out a Golden Apricot Fruit, fed it to the Fire Qilin Beast, and then put it back into his Spirit Beast Bag.
He stepped forward, carefully dug out the Monster Luring Grass, put it into a Cyan Jade Box, took out a Silver-Glowing Talisman, and affixed it to the jade box.
The Third Rank Talisman- Spirit Sealing Talisman can prevent the medicinal effects of spirit medicine from fading; Shen Long seized it from an enemy.
He put away the Third Rank Puppet Beast and left the Wood Dragon Hall.
The eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada emitted a dazzling golden light as it surveyed the situation within a hundred miles.
"Huh, Two-Tailed Spirit Fox."
Shen Long let out a soft "hmm," and the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada flew off in a southwest direction, with Shen Long following after it.
Not long after, Shen Long and Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada appeared in a narrow valley, with a cave not far away.
"Huh, such a quick reaction! They actually ran away, and they were pretty fast."
Shen Long was somewhat surprised. The Two-Tailed Spirit Fox had a keen sense of smell and, upon discovering Shen Long, immediately burrowed underground and fled.
He drew his Dragon-Slaying Saber, and with a single slash, a massive Red Blade Light swept out, cutting through the cave and splitting it in two.
Deep underground, a yellow fox with two tails was enveloped in a yellow light and moved swiftly forward.
A sharp, piercing screech rang in its ears, and the yellow fox felt as if it had crashed into an impenetrable wall, leaving it dizzy and disoriented.
Before it could react, an astonishing surge of Spiritual Qi swept over it.
With a deafening roar, the ground cracked open, and a massive Red Blade Light burst forth from the earth. A blood-soaked yellow fox flew out from the ground and flashed into the sky above a dense forest.
A gust of wind swept by, and the Golden-Winged Wind Peng appeared, its sharp claws aimed straight at the yellow fox.
The Golden-Winged Wind Peng's sharp claws easily pierced the yellow fox's head, and the Two-Tailed Spirit Fox died instantly.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and a large number of leaves were blown up by the wind, turning into sharp blades that rushed straight towards the Golden-Winged Wind Peng.
With a flap of its wings, the Golden-Winged Wind Peng avoided the falling leaves.
Thick tree roots burst forth from the soil, intertwining and weaving into long, green whips that lashed out at the Golden-Winged Wind Peng.
With a gentle flap of its wings, the Golden-Winged Wind Peng vanished from its spot, avoiding the long blue whips.
Shen Long and the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada flew out from underground, and an expression of interest appeared on his face.
"Tree Demon!"
He patted the two Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, and more than 100,000 Golden-Winged Fire Ant and Fire Qilin Beast flew out. The more than 100,000 Golden-Winged Fire Ant condensed into a Golden Spear, which headed straight for the dense forest.
The Fire Qilin Beast opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of Crimson Flame, heading straight for the dense forest.
The trees began to move rapidly, and countless leaves fell, transforming into countless Cyan Flying Knife that hurtled towards the Golden Spear.
A series of Cyan Flying Knife struck the Golden Spear, producing a muffled thud. The Golden Spear remained unharmed, instead erupting with a burst of Golden Flame.
The Cyan Flying Knife, upon contact with the Golden Flame, instantly turned to ash.
Crimson Flame landed on a large tree, instantly igniting it. The fire spread rapidly, flames shooting into the sky.
Shen Long took out a Feather Fan that shimmered with red light, and with a gentle wave, hundreds of Crimson Fireball flew out and crashed into the dense forest.
With a deafening roar, flames surged, and the dense forest was transformed into a Crimson Sea of Fire.
Golden Spear pierced through towering trees, which were then engulfed by Golden Flame and instantly turned to ashes.
A towering tree moved rapidly, heading into the distance.
A gust of wind blew by, Shen Long appeared, with a pair of Golden Feather Wings on his back and holding the Dragon-Slaying Saber.
He swung his Dragon-Slaying Saber at the towering tree, which flashed with a blinding blue light, but was still cleaved in two by Shen Long.
Shen Long frowned, and with a gentle flap of his Golden Feather Wings, he vanished from his spot.
A towering tree emitted a bluish light and began to move rapidly.
Shen Long appeared in front of the giant tree without warning. The towering tree once again shone with a blue light. Just then, a sharp and piercing screech rang out, and the blue light on the tree's surface dimmed.
A Golden Spear flew through the air and struck the towering tree with a muffled thud. A burst of Golden Flame spread out and engulfed the tree.
The towering tree emitted bursts of blue light, but the Golden Flame did not dissipate.
"If you know what's good for you, acknowledge me as your master, or I'll kill you."
Shen Long's tone was icy.
Golden Flame surged, turning the towering tree to ashes, and the main body used Wood Evasion Technique to escape the area.
Shen Long snorted coldly, and with a gentle flap of his Golden Feather Wings, he vanished from his spot.
A streak of green light moved swiftly through the dense forest, constantly changing position, and escaped a hundred miles in one breath.
A gust of wind blew by, and Shen Long appeared in front of a towering tree, holding the Golden Sun Staff in his hand.
A towering tree flashed with a bluish light, and just then, another sharp, piercing screech rang out, echoing for miles around.
Shen Long swung his Golden Sun Staff, smashing it into the towering tree. The tree was uprooted and sent flying backward, with some thick, long cracks visible on its surface. A blinding blue light flashed, and the cracks healed.
Shen Long summoned the Thunder-Guiding Bead, and with a quick hand seal, the Thunder-Guiding Bead burst forth with dazzling silver lightning. Thunder and lightning flashed across the sky, and thick silver bolts of lightning ripped through the heavens, striking the towering trees.
Silver lightning engulfed the towering trees, and more silver lightning struck other trees, instantly turning them to ashes. The area within a ten-mile radius became a sea of thunder, with countless towering trees reduced to ash.
"Spare me, I'm willing to acknowledge you as my master."
A somewhat frightened male voice rang out.
The lightning in the sky dissipated, revealing a charred, towering tree.
A blinding blue light emanated from the towering tree, and all the dead bark peeled away, revealing the face of a young boy on the trunk.
The Secret Realm has existed for an unknown period of time; a large tree came to life and evolved into Tree Man.
"Huh, you can talk!"
Shen Long was somewhat surprised, as he knew that only Tree Demon of a very high rank could speak human language.
He muttered incantations, intending to place a restriction.
If the Golden-Winged Wind Peng hadn't mastered the Wind Evasion Technique and hadn't had the Thunder-Guiding Bead, the Tree Man would have truly escaped.
Beasts, feathers, scales, insects, wood, spirits, and Shen Long have all been gathered.
The Tree Man instinctively resisted, but deafening thunder roared from high above, and thick silver lightning bolts ripped across the sky, with Golden-Winged Fire Ant, Fire Qilin Beast, and Iron Tail Scorpion eyeing them menacingly.
Despite his reluctance, the Tree Man obediently allowed Shen Long to plant the restriction.
Shen Long planted various restrictions before putting away the Thunder-Guiding Bead and landing on the ground.
The Tree Man also flew down to the ground and took root.
"How long have you been in the Golden Core Realm?"
Shen Long asked.
"I don't know either. I've been here since I gained consciousness, and I haven't really kept track of how long it's been."
"The Tree Man spoke honestly."
Do you know where there's a powerful restriction?
Shen Long asked.
"I know, the restrictions there are too strong."
A hint of fear appeared in the Tree Man's eyes.
"Take me there right now. Don't try anything funny. Just do my job well, and I won't treat you badly. But if you dare to try anything funny, I'll kill you immediately."
Shen Long reminded him.
"Know."
The Tree Man agreed.
"Huh? What did you call me?"
Shen Long raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, Master."
The Tree Man said respectfully.
"Lead the way! You'll see what the benefits of following me are later."
Shen Long gave the order.
The Tree Man moved rapidly in a southwest direction.
Shen Long put the Fire Qilin Beast and the Golden-Winged Fire Ant back into his Spirit Beast Bag and followed them, while the Iron Tail Scorpion slithered underground.
