After passing the remains of the Ba Snake, Jiang Ziliu encountered another mysterious ancient pagoda.
The ancient tower seemed to pose no danger whatsoever; it simply stood amidst this vast Blood Soul Land.
Jiang Ziliu sensed an aura from this ancient tower that was similar to that of the Origin Divine Ship.
Judging from its appearance, this enormous ancient tower is also a treasure of the Origin Divine Ship level.
It's a mystery how such a treasure could have ended up here, with half of the tower sunk into the earth.
Jiang Ziliu saw the ancient pagoda's antiquity and felt the weight of its long and heavy history, but he had no intention of taking it away.
He couldn't believe that, over the endless years, so many people had come to this Blood Soul Land, yet not a single person had noticed its special nature, and not a single person had not wanted to possess it.
Clearly, they all failed, and may even have encountered unknown dangers with the ancient pagoda.
After he had walked away, Jiang Ziyuan looked back and discovered a horrifying situation.
The ancient and ancient pagoda, full of charm and rustic charm, has disappeared. In its place stands a huge Bronze tree of the same height as the pagoda!
On that Bronze tree hung the skeletons of all kinds of beings: Human Race, Elf Race, Dwarf Race, Jiaolong Human Race Titan Race Dragon Race.
Their skeletons were shrunk countless times by some unknown force, hanging on thin Bronze limbs only a few millimeters thick, like fluttering leaves.
Jiang Ziliu then realized that what he had seen was not some kind of origin treasure, but clearly a terrifying Bronze demon tree.
If it weren't for the special location, he would hardly have been able to see through the disguise of this ancient Bronze tree.
Jiang Ziliu exclaimed how impressive it was.
Clearly, this Bronze tree can create illusions in people's minds, but these illusions can only reveal themselves, transforming the Bronze tree into a treasure in people's hearts.
In Jiang Ziliu's mind, only Origin Treasures were truly precious, which is why an Origin Rank ancient tower was revealed.
This is clearly a reflection of his inner yearning.
Moreover, it does not possess any special alluring power; it is merely an aura of the Origin Rank.
This is the most ingenious approach; it reveals the most "authentic" aura, and what tempts us is the greed in the hearts of Wisdom beings!
The power of temptation always leaves its mark, and it will always make vigilant people fight against it with all their might.
But the truth that one yearns for will always draw one closer, and that is the brilliance of the allure of the Bronze ancient tree.
Moreover, this ancient Bronze tree was also covered with blood-red rock tentacles.
They crawled all over the Bronze tree like blood vessels, as if trying to cover it completely and pull it back into the ground!
The Bronze ancient tree suddenly appeared, which made Jiang Ziliu realize that something was not simple.
He guessed that this was likely related to the special location he was in; otherwise, he would have seen a Bronze pagoda in his original area, but here he saw Bronze tree.
This indicates that this region possesses a special power that helped him break free from the influence of that illusion.
Jiang Ziliu didn't believe that a mere Supreme Rank expert like himself could escape the illusion created by an Evil God Rank being.
The Supreme Rank is very powerful in the eyes of ordinary beast tamers, but it is nothing compared to the true powerhouses in the starry sky.
Despite its immense size, Blue Water Star is merely an insignificant speck of dust in the vast universe.
On Blue Water Star, they are considered Supreme Rank, but in the context of the cosmos, they are merely ordinary people, existing only at the basic level.
He couldn't escape the illusion's influence, so there must be something of equal or even higher power ahead that was affecting this power, allowing Jiang Ziliu to see the reality.
As he expected, Jiang Ziliu encountered a special being not long after following the icon.
Moreover, the path that the transformation of the Ancient Tree of Wisdom gave him happened to pass right under the nose of this being.
He encountered the next being trapped by the Blood Soul Land, a stone tortoise only ten feet in size.
This stone tortoise had one-third of its body pulled underground by blood-red rock tentacles, with only part of its shell and head exposed above the ground, covered with a layer of weathered stone shell made from bone ash.
If this weren't the Blood Soul Land, Jiang Ziliu would have thought that what he was looking at was just an ordinary stone sculpture.
The directional route appeared less than three meters from the stone tortoise's head, passing right in front of people.
Jiang Ziliu understood that this was a hint from the entity behind the power, telling him that the stone tortoise was harmless.
He approached the stone tortoise, bowed to it, and expressed his gratitude for its power that had helped him break free of the illusion and see the truth.
But to Jiang Ziliu's surprise, this being actually opened its eyes.
The petrified shell on the other party's body also disappeared silently. What's even stranger is that the blood-red rock tentacles actually dispersed from the other party's body on their own, as if the blood-red rock tentacles were just a facade to bind the other party.
Jiang Ziliu's intuition told him that he had likely encountered someone like himself, a person of the same ilk, a character similar to Lao Liu.
"An interesting lad, he's actually following the same path as this old man!"
The stone tortoise stared at it, its stone eyes devoid of any Wisdom, filled with an aged and decrepit gaze, as if it were a lifeless person on the verge of death.
" Wisdom has actually guided you to me. It seems that clever fellow wants me to give you some benefits. After all, you also follow the path of cunning, making you one of my kind. Giving you some benefits is my investment in you."
Jiang Ziliu has already made a judgment: the Wisdom likely refers to the Ancient Tree of Wisdom.
Could it be that the fifth beast recommended by the Forging Throne was actually the very Ancient Tree of Wisdom itself?
The thought involuntarily popped into his head.
"Alas, I haven't spoken for fifty thousand years, and I'm still feeling a bit uneasy. So, I'll have a chat with you, young man!"
"Greetings, senior. My journey has only just begun. To be able to learn even a fraction of your skills would be the greatest honor of my life!"
Jiang Ziliu immediately bowed respectfully and flattered him.
"Indeed, you know when to bow your head and when to stand firm. You have a great secret, Karmic Luck, and great opportunity hidden within you. Although you are young, you have done everything well in the past. You are cautious in everything you do, never stand out, and leave no trace after accomplishing great things. You prioritize concealing yourself, which is the behavior of a cunning and unscrupulous person."
The old turtle's eyes were still cloudy, but it looked upwards, as if gazing into another dimension.
Upon hearing his words, Jiang Ziliu sensed that this powerful figure seemed to have seen through time and space, witnessing all his past actions.
He was somewhat horrified by his own guess. Could this person really be able to see through the river of time and space and witness the past?
"Kid, stop guessing. I am indeed observing the river of time, looking back. But I'm only looking at you; this ability isn't that magical. It just seems incredibly powerful to ordinary people like you."
The old turtle's eyes seemed unchanged, but his tone was full of admiration for Jiang Ziliu.
"You're growing quickly, lad, and your way of handling things is quite good. If you're lucky, you'll definitely reach my level someday. Then you'll realize that seeing through a person or a small thing over the course of time isn't difficult. What's difficult is seeing through an entire Xinghe of time!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, the old tortoise's expression suddenly changed.
"Something's not right! You've got a fourth beast on you, and it's even an Origin Beast..."
Forget it, I never cause trouble, nor do I pry into other people's secrets! I won't ask! Kid, treat this being within you well!
Jiang Ziliu understood that the old powerhouse had not discovered any trace of the Forging Throne in Jiang Ziliu's long history.
However, the traces of the Forging Throne's existence are indelible, and Forging Throne existence has already been discovered by the other party.
"Kid, go on ahead, and you'll see Wisdom! This crystal is good for your hidden skills, so upgrade it!"
After saying that, the old tortoise disappeared, and at the same time, he threw a small crystal to Jiang Ziliu.
The crimson earth returned to its original state, as if everything that had been there was an illusion.
This convinced Jiang Ziliu of one thing.
The Blood Soul Land's binding force on the mysterious stone tortoise was indeed a charade; either the tortoise's power was so great that the Blood Soul Land was simply unable to restrain it, and it was just a show.
Or perhaps there is some kind of connection between the Blood Soul Land and the mysterious stone tortoise.
Regardless of the reason, the fact that the other party was sealed by the Blood Soul Land was just an illusion for others to see.
But the stone tortoise was really cunning. After realizing that he might have touched the shadow of the King of Origin and come into contact with some major cause and effect, he immediately and decisively withdrew and stopped entangled with Jiang Ziliu.
Jiang Ziliu now has no idea where this other powerful figure from the Gou Dao lineage has gone.
However, he was certain that the other party's behavior might be a little unsteady. If Jiang Ziliu came, he would not show himself at all and would play dead like a stone tortoise.
"Thank you, senior!"
Jiang Ziliu bowed to the void. He didn't know what the crystal was, but it was definitely a benefit given to him by the other party out of respect for the Ancient Tree of Wisdom.
Jiang Ziliu did not linger there for long.
When he realized that the Ancient Tree of Wisdom might be his fifth tamed beast, he quickened his pace, becoming even more eager and impatient!
