Undercurrents Stir

Roar---

"Di Tian, what are you doing!"

Blood trickled from Xiong Jun's mouth as he roared and questioned Di Tian in the air.

"Snort!"

Di Tian snorted coldly, his tone remaining indifferent.

"If you weren't one of our Ferocious Beast, I would have killed you on the spot just for insulting the Medicine King."

As he spoke, Di Tian pointed to the Jianmu in front of him and said coldly.

"Do you know that this Jianmu before you is the work of the Medicine King? It is also our hope for counterattacking humanity and conquering the Divine Realm."

The Ferocious Beast were puzzled by Di Tian's words. At this moment, the King of Ten Thousand Monsters stepped forward to explain for Di Tian, recounting the strange phenomenon of the Armored Bear's resurrection, the Medicine King, and the matters of Qi Fu and the Sprout.

At this moment, Di Tian nodded, "The Medicine King does indeed exist. I just made a wish to Him, and the Medicine King responded to me, thus bestowing this divine gift."

"Now it seems that the Medicine King might be a deity who favors our Soul Beast Clan."

At this point, Bi Ji raised her question, "You said that special Armored Bear had branches growing all over its back. Aren't the trees on its body somewhat similar to that giant tree?"

Upon hearing Bi Ji's words, the Ferocious Beast fell silent.

Bi Ji continued, "If we possessed this ability... wouldn't we... become like those differentiated Armored Bear?"

After they finished speaking, the eyes of the several Ferocious Beasts all turned to Di Tian, demanding an explanation from him.

"No need to say more, the reason that Armored Bear turned out that way must be because its cultivation level was too low. For Ferocious Beast like us, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, there are definitely only benefits."

"Look."

As he spoke, Di Tian pointed to Xiong Jun in the pit below and said, "The injuries I inflicted on Xiong Jun have already been healed by Jianmu."

"From now on, we will cultivate here, which will surely be of great benefit to us."

Really, won't there be any problems?

Bi Ji looked at the Abundance Ambrosial Arbor with a sorrowful expression.

The appearance of the Abundance Ambrosial Arbor could not possibly only affect a small area of Star Dou Great Forest.

"What... what exactly is that?"

"A miracle! This is a miracle!"

The people of the three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent all showed expressions of surprise when they saw this giant tree.

A mix of curiosity, fear, and excitement drew countless ordinary people and Soul Master alike, all eager to get a closer look at this towering tree.

Shrek Academy.

The Sea God Pavilion Meeting was convened again.

"Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on this giant tree that suddenly appeared?"

Mu En sat in the main seat and spoke Youyou, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

"What else can we think? This must have been the work of those Soul Beasts. Who knows what kind of conspiracy they have this time?"

Xuanzi, who should have been under house arrest, arrived at the meeting room while eating a chicken leg because of the importance of this meeting.

"That's right, teacher!"

Yan Shaozhe echoed Xuanzi's words and said to Mu En, "I propose that, while those Soul Beasts have only just made this commotion and haven't had time to prepare for their next move, we should immediately unite with the powerful figures from other countries and head to the Star Dou Great Forest to launch a campaign of attack and thwart their conspiracy."

Upon hearing this, Mu En remained silent for a moment, then raised his already pale eyebrows.

"What do you other elders think?"

"Agree."

"Agree."

"Agree."

All the elders raised their hands in agreement with Yan Shaozhe's proposal. It seemed that the appearance of this giant tree had indeed made them somewhat uneasy.

Therefore, it's best to resolve this potential problem as soon as possible to avoid further complications.

"In that case, prepare for a week, contact the powerful figures of the Douluo Three Kingdoms, and we can head to the Star Dou Great Forest a week later to resolve the crisis of the giant tree."

"Xuanzi, you are the strongest on the Shrek Academy's side, so you will be the team leader."

"Yes."

Xuanzi casually tossed aside the leftover chicken bones and replied.

"Meeting adjourned."

Star Dou Great Forest.

Within a day, under the nourishment of the life energy released by the Abundance Ambrosial Arbor, all the injured Soul Beast, whether high-level or low-level, miraculously recovered and their cultivation levels improved.

From the day the Jianmu was laid down.

The Soul Beast Clan of the Star Dou Great Forest has ushered in a period of flourishing development, and the overall combat strength of the Soul Beast Clan has been improved. This scene can be described as a great change that has not been seen in the Soul Beast Realm for thousands of years.

"Hahaha, as expected of the blessing from the Medicine King, it is truly a miracle. I believe that before long, humanity will no longer have the ability to rival us."

Hahahaha.

Seeing the tremendous changes that had taken place in the Star Dou Great Forest in just one day, Di Tian burst into unrestrained laughter.

Just then, a pleasant voice rang out.

"Di Tian, do you think that with this Divine Tree, the Soul Beast Clan will no longer need me?"

The owner of the voice was none other than the Emperor Auspicious Beast.

Di Tian was silent for a moment, then his deep voice came out, "How could that be, little one? Perhaps your auspicious power is not as great as the blessings brought by the Abundance Ambrosial Arbor, but after nearly ten thousand years of getting along, I have come to regard you as my child."

"As long as I'm here, anyone who dares to hurt you should be prepared to face my wrath."

Upon hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion lowered its head and said nothing.

"Alright, go back now. Don't overthink it. Your existence and that of the Divine Tree are of paramount importance to our Soul Beast Clan."

"Um."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion responded softly, then strode away alone.

Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy

"It's been almost two weeks, and Shi still hasn't come back? He was supposed to be visiting family, but it shouldn't have taken this long."

Jing Hongchen sat in the Mingde Hall's office, staring out the window with a worried expression.

"Could it be... that I really misjudged him, and he really is an undercover agent sent by the Shrek Academy?"

"No... impossible. If he were truly an undercover agent, how could he have gone back after learning only a little bit and getting nothing? What would be the point of being an undercover agent then?"

Jing Hongchen quickly dismissed the idea.

Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Meng Hongchen rushed in, her voice anxious.

"Grandpa, is there still no news about Junior Brother?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen shook his head helplessly.

"Grandpa, do you think something happened to Junior Brother? She was originally from the Star Luo Empire, but she ran away to our Sun Moon Empire. Maybe the Star Luo Emperor saw how talented Junior Brother was and tried to persuade him to submit, but when he refused, he killed him."

Meng Hongchen's voice trembled slightly with tears as she spoke.

Jing Hongchen stroked her head and comforted her, "The Star Luo Emperor is wary of us, so he probably wouldn't dare to lay a hand on Shi'er. Perhaps Shi'er is delayed by something and that's why she hasn't returned yet. Let's wait a few more days."

"If he still hasn't returned after a few days, Grandpa will personally take you to his hometown to have a look."

Just then, a knocking sound came from Jing Hongchen's window. Looking up, he saw a person dressed in black, who appeared to be one of Jing Hongchen's undercover agents.

The man in black opened the window and quickly went inside, kneeling before Jing Hongchen.

Looking at Du Meng Hongchen beside him, Jing Hongchen raised his hand, indicating that he could speak directly.

"Dean, I haven't been able to find Yao Shi's whereabouts. She disappeared after separating from Miss's group that day. Neither Shrek Academy nor the Star Luo Imperial Family has seen her."

"It's as if he vanished into thin air."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen frowned.

"Okay, I understand. You may leave."

"Dean Jing, there's one more thing."

Upon hearing Jing Hongchen's order, the man in black did not immediately move, but continued speaking.

Two days ago, a towering tree suddenly appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest of the Douluo Continent...

Jing Hongchen then interrupted, "How big?"

"The shade of the trees almost completely covered the entire Star Dou Great Forest..."
