Planting a Chaos Spiritual Root on a Behemoth

Fuxi and Nuwa looked towards Wu Chu, their faces showing inquiry.

Wu Chu swiftly sent the Yellow Plum branch to the side of the Chaos Behemoth. Although the Yellow Plum branch was over ten meters in diameter and over a hundred meters long, it was nothing compared to this colossal creature, not even as effective as a tickle.

However, when this inconspicuous 'foxtail grass' was stuck into the defense formed by Primordial Chaos Qi, it began to absorb and devour the Primordial Chaos Qi that was dissipating.

The branches and leaves, which had seemed a bit wilted, suddenly looked quite vibrant.

Seeing everyone's confusion, Wu Chu explained, "This is a branch of a Chaos Spiritual Root. I wanted to test whether this branch could absorb Chaos Spiritual Energy. If it could break through this giant beast's defenses, then the beast would definitely sense the danger..."

Once the behemoth senses danger, it will inevitably break down its act if it's faking it.

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was happening.

Wu Chu did not tell everyone the origin of the Yellow Plum branch, nor did he take out the Flat Peach branch given to him by the Queen Mother of the West, lest others see it and also go to the Queen Mother of the West to ask for one.

As expected, the Eastern King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Wu Chu did not offer Flat Peach branches. Although they were willing to share the Flat Peach with everyone, they did not want others to follow Wu Chu's example and ask them for Flat Peach branches.

Otherwise, will they give it to them or not?

Doumu Yuanjun couldn't help but glance at Wu Chu again, seemingly somewhat surprised that this being, whose cultivation seemed inferior to hers, could actually produce a branch of the Chaos Spiritual Root.

In this starry sky, the only Chaos Spiritual Root exists on the Lunar Star. Even if she were to ask Changxi for a branch, he might not give it to her!

Unfortunately, the effect of a single Yellow Plum on this giant beast was extremely limited.

Seeing this, Wu Chu took out the bare, leafless Jianmu Remnant Branch and placed it next to the giant beast.

Upon seeing this, everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to it again.

"What is this?" Taiyi asked, puzzled.

Wu Chu smiled and said, "This is also a remnant of Chaos Spiritual Root, a gift from my master."

Thinking of Wu Chu's master, everyone obediently shut their mouths. They were just a little envious, wondering just how many good things his master had given him.

However, the state of this Jianmu Remnant Branch was clearly embarrassing for Wu Chu; it could even be said that it hadn't changed at all.

However, upon reflection, it becomes understandable. If this Jianmu Remnant Branch could have absorbed and grown upon contact with the Chaos Spiritual Energy, it would probably have grown into a towering tree in the Primordial Chaos long ago, instead of being brought out of the Primordial Chaos by its master, Hongjun.

Seeing this, Wu Chu flashed to the side of the giant beast that was Star Transformation, wearing Black Dragon Armor, standing on Black Coffin, and holding the Central Wuji Apricot-Yellow Banner...

Even fully armed, Wu Chu remained cautious as he approached the Chaos Behemoth, feeling somewhat uneasy.

It was as if you could still feel the giant beast's body slowly undulating with its breath.

Wu Chu reached out and placed his hand on the broken branch of the Jianmu. He slowly channeled the Merit Power within his body into the broken branch, using the Merit Power to awaken the life force within the Jianmu Remnant Branch.

As a result, the branches of the Yellow Plum next to him took root, and this Jianmu Remnant Branch was still absorbing the Merit Power within his body.

Seeing this, Yibao couldn't help but draw circles in Wu Chu's Consciousness Sea, "It's mine, it's all mine, it was originally all mine..."

Clearly, Yibao was even more heartbroken than Wu Chu about the loss of this Merit Power.

Wu Chu himself was somewhat embarrassed when he saw this situation. He had agreed to leave the Merit Power for Yibao, but...

Fortunately, as the Merit Power within his body gradually ran out, seven or eight tenths of the Merit he received from his Primordial World's First Marriage was poured into the Jianmu Remnant Branch. The life force inside the Jianmu Remnant Branch finally grew larger and larger, and became significantly more active.

Upon seeing this, Wu Chu couldn't help but wonder if he should dismantle his auspicious Merit Auspicious Cloud, which he used to show off, since it was only good for showing off anyway.

Just as Wu Chu was thinking this, the unresponsive Jianmu Remnant Branch finally reacted, with a wisp of white light quietly emerging from the bottom of the branch.

The white light gradually extended outwards, reaching towards the Chaos Behemoth beside it.

The surrounding Primordial Chaos Qi also converged towards this Jianmu Remnant Branch.

Compared to the Yellow Plum branches that had already sprouted a ring of white roots, the Jianmu Remnant Branch only had one root, which did seem rather inadequate.

However, when the roots of the Jianmu came into contact with the protective layer formed by Primordial Chaos Qi on the surface of the giant beast, they actually clung to it with extreme dominance.

In comparison, the roots of the Yellow Plum branches seem somewhat weak.

Moreover, it can be seen that the root clinging to that layer of Primordial Chaos Qi is still aggressively drilling into that layer of Primordial Chaos Qi.

As that root gradually grew stronger, more and more roots sprouted from the base of the Jianmu Remnant Branch, then three, four... The roots grew faster and faster.

Seeing this, Wu Chu silently breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention to the giant beast.

The giant beast seemed to have no reaction to this, perhaps because the effect of the Jianmu Remnant Branch was too weak for it to react.

Wu Chu stood silently beside the Jianmu Remnant Branch and the branches of the Yellow Plum, ready to retreat with them should anything go wrong.

As for that Flat Peach Tree, we can only cultivate it later when the opportunity arises. It's not a good time to bring it out and provoke everyone, lest we cause trouble for the Queen Mother of the West.

When the Eastern King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West saw that Wu Chu had not yet taken out the Flat Peach Tree, they exchanged a glance, their lips slightly raised, as if to say, "As expected, fellow Daoist is indeed reliable!"

Meanwhile, Yibao, who had been drawing circles and muttering to herself, had become lively and suggested in Wu Chu's Consciousness Sea, "A Chu, A Chu..."

"You have no manners! Call me master!"

"Master~" Yibao called out sweetly, then said in Yao Qi, "Master, you're so wicked! Why do you like this title?"

"Be serious! Don't you know that a lot of people don't like your Yao Qi way of acting?"

"They're just envious and jealous, because they can't have me!"

"Alright, let's get serious. What do you want?"

"I wanted you to try and see if you could capture this giant beast into your Primordial Spirit Pearl. If you could, you could take the Primordial Spirit Pearl to your master and have him destroy the beast's Primordial Spirit!"

Wu Chu was speechless. "What kind of terrible idea is this? You actually want me to carry this bomb with me. If anything goes wrong, you'll have to find a new owner!"

"Don't worry! If anything unexpected happens, I can hold it off for a bit and buy you some time to escape."

"Really?" Wu Chu was somewhat incredulous. "Don't get me into this mess! I'm a married man now, I don't want to die so young!"
