Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 818 Samadhi True Fire Burns the Nasen Sacred Tree

Isaac, who was in danger, had a lot of things he wanted to say to Gellert, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.

After hastily leaving a few words, he sighed and said no more. He concentrated all his attention, closed his brain, and used the phoenix flame to resist.

Even if things are impossible, we cannot just sit there and wait for death. There is a glimmer of hope in resistance, even if it is extremely slim.

But at this moment, he vaguely heard a sound of pity, which made him wonder if it was emitted by the sacred tree or his own illusion? But at this moment, he could not afford to think too much.

In fact, the sound of "regret" came from someone who likes to listen to gossip and even more likes to tell gossip, because he didn't hear the explosive gossip.

Without any more gossip to listen to, Zhang Zhiwei looked up and gazed at the sacred tree. In this spiritual world composed entirely of black and white lines, the golden Nasen sacred tree looked extremely mysterious.

"The will of the sacred tree is different from the dead tree appearance in the outside world. This golden tree-like image is the sacred tree's full form. I wonder what will happen if I touch it?"

Zhang Zhiwei sighed, placed his hand on top of Isaac's head, and with a thought, he added his consciousness to Isaac.

His consciousness was so powerful that the moment it was infused into Isaac's spiritual body, it caused a violent reaction from the roots of the sacred tree.

At this moment, the sacred tree had already eroded Isaac's eyes and was attacking his brain.

Isaac's eyes were filled with brown tree roots, which looked like dense red blood vessels, and were terrifying.

His face was also deformed, as if he had completely lost control of his face, with his teeth and gums exposed, looking extremely hideous.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Even though this was a spiritual world, Isaac was breathing heavily, as if he was extremely tired, but the number of tree roots invading his body was increasing, and his head felt like it was about to split open.

But at this moment, he seemed to hear the voice of his good friend "Zhang" vaguely. Why did he suddenly think of "Zhang"?
Isaac was confused. Although he had a good relationship with "Zhang", it was not so good that he would think of him at this time.

Suddenly, he recalled the word "what a pity" he had heard before, and it seemed to be the voice of "Zhang".

I heard it twice in a row, so it might not be a coincidence. Besides, Zhang also said that he would come to Nason Island, so could it be that he is really coming?

As soon as Isaac thought of this, he heard Zhang Zhiwei's voice again.

This time he heard it very clearly. It was Zhang's voice, but it was very ethereal, as if it came from the horizon.

With the appearance of this sound, the erosion of the sacred tree seemed to ease.

"Zhang, where are you? Is that you?"

He called out loudly, and soon, he became dazed for a moment, and saw again the huge sacred tree that seemed to be made of gold. Along with the sacred tree, there also appeared a huge face, and that face was Zhang, and it was right above the sacred tree.

Isaac was a little confused by the development of the situation.

Suddenly, he found that the huge face was looking at him, and his eyes met that face's.

There was a blazing fire in those eyes, spewing out thunder, the face moved towards his lips, and the ethereal voice he had heard before echoed.

"Hold on, it might hurt a little!"

"It hurts! What hurts!?"

Before Isaac had time to think about it, a fear from the depths of his soul enveloped him. His head was splitting, and the giant human face and the golden sacred tree in front of him became blurry.

In a trance, he saw the giant face descending from the sky, and behind the giant face was a giant.

The giant descended from the sky, came to the side of the golden sacred tree, and stretched out his hand to the golden sacred tree.

There was a ball of blue flame in the palm of the giant's hand. The flame was extremely hot. Even though he was far away, he felt as if his whole body was wrapped in boiling water, and the heat reached deep into his soul.

This made him terrified, and what was even more terrifying was that the blue flame that was like a spark in the giant's palm just now instantly covered the entire sky like a prairie fire.

Flames, flames were everywhere he looked. The dazzling light seemed to melt his eyes, but even so, he could still see clearly.

The owner of the giant face, Zhang, condensed the endless flames into a hatchet and chopped down the golden sacred tree with great force.

The branches of the sacred tree were chopped off and shook violently, and the entire consciousness space was shaking because of this scene.

In the process, flames inevitably splashed down, and even though he carefully avoided every fire, he still felt like he was being burned by the flames.

He felt very uncomfortable, and the whole space was burning as the battle between the giant and the sacred tree took place.

The sky and the earth were melting, and he was melting too. In the process, the roots of the sacred trees in his body were also burning.

Unlike the contraction and twisting when burned by the Phoenix Fire, the blue-green flame was extremely powerful and directly burned the roots of the sacred tree to oblivion.

In this process, he was inevitably affected, after all, this was his consciousness space.

However, under Zhang Zhiwei's precise control, the impact was not great and would not harm Isaac's origin.

Not until all the tree roots in his body were burned out by the Samadhi True Fire, and even the golden branch of the sacred tree that was connected to his palm in the outside world was burned, did Isaac's consciousness suddenly emerge from the spiritual space.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

He let out a loud roar of pain, and then his whole body suddenly relaxed. He fell on his back as if he had collapsed, and cold sweat covered his body.

Just as he was about to fall, Zhang Zhiwei reached out, grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

Isaac was conscious and looked around in confusion. Zhang Zhiwei was pinching his neck and holding him in the air like a kitten.

In Zhang Zhiwei's other hand, he was holding his best friend Gellert. Gellert was looking at him in shock with his eyes wide open.

Not far away, King Nathan and the Nathan guards were also looking at this scene in disbelief.

He also noticed that there was a large tree without branches and leaves growing next to him.

Although there were some differences in the details, he recognized it at a glance. It was the Nathan sacred tree that he had destroyed with the killing curse, and it had grown again.

"What just happened?"

He murmured, although he didn't know the specific details, it was not difficult for him to guess, "Zhang, you saved me?"

Zhang Zhiwei nodded: "Fortunately, you arrived in time. If you were late, the sacred tree would have planted its roots in your brain, and there would be no hope."

Just now, after entering Isaac's consciousness, he immediately arm wrestled with the sacred tree, but the result was not good.

It was difficult for him to expel the opponent's roots directly through mental power, so he directly used the Samadhi True Fire.

The Samadhi True Fire specifically burns the soul, and can even burn one's own inner demons and delusions, not to mention foreign objects like the will of the sacred tree. The will of the sacred tree was quickly expelled.

It is worth mentioning that the most difficult thing in the whole process was not to expel the will of the sacred tree, but to protect Isaac's soul from being accidentally injured by the Samadhi True Fire.

This is quite a test of the control over Qi. If an ordinary person used the Samadhi True Fire, Isaac would probably have become a fool.

"It seems that you are fine now. Can you stand steadily?" Zhang Zhiwei asked. Isaac felt his current condition and said, "The damage to the soul is a bit serious. I need to meditate for a while to recover."

Then, he looked at the Gellert that Zhang Zhiwei was holding in his other hand: "What's going on?"

"This guy is not very obedient. Let me calm him down!" Zhang Zhiwei grabbed Gellert's neck, shook him up and down and said.

Gellert did not struggle, looking as if he had lost all hope in life. He had struggled for a long time just now, but to no avail.

Moreover, the more he struggled, the tighter the hand on his neck became, so tight that he felt his bones were about to be crushed. After he stopped, the hand on his neck loosened.

So, he accepted his fate, calmed down, and let Zhang Zhiwei manipulate him without struggling, at least until he was unable to fight back.

Isaac: “…”

Come to think of it, it was the first time he saw Isaac in such a miserable state.

In fact, he could guess the general process. Gellert was careless, and Zhang seized the opportunity to get close to him and subdued him directly.

And this is how he intends to deal with Gellert.

When he was leaving the Magic City, he met a beggar who sold him some fake-looking Qi-cultivation books.

He didn't want to pay attention to it, but suddenly remembered the experience of Tian Jinzhong and Zhang Huaiyi. They bought two very precious secret books from a beggar. Afterwards, Lu Jin and Lu Ci went to look for them but couldn't find them.

At that time, he curiously asked the beggar what the difference was between these densely packed ones and asked him to recommend one.

The old beggar immediately laid out several secret books and told him which one could be practiced by a virgin, which one could be practiced by a non-virgin, and which one could be practiced by anyone regardless of whether or not one was a virgin.

Then, he decisively chose a secret book that could be practiced by a boy.

When he was choosing the secret book, the old beggar kept praising him for his vision, and said that the responsibility of saving the world and maintaining peace would be entrusted to him in the future.

He took this sentence seriously and promised the old beggar seriously that he would do so in the future. This made the old beggar speechless. It was the first time he met such a stupid foreigner.

After Isaac returned, he practiced according to the instructions in the secret book. Unexpectedly, he actually achieved some success and made considerable progress.

This was originally his secret trick to deal with Gellert, but he didn't expect that Gellert was captured by Zhang before he could use it.

"Are you still Isaac?" Seeing Isaac wake up, Gellert asked hurriedly with concern, not paying attention to the big hand on his neck.

"It's me!" Isaac nodded.

But Gellert couldn't believe it, because the invasion of the mind is different from amnesia. It is the innermost self that has changed, but the past memories are still there, so it cannot be distinguished through memory.

Gellert is not afraid of Isaac losing his memory. As long as his inner self remains unchanged, even if he loses his memory, he is still the same person, and his memory can be restored through some means. Even if it cannot be restored, he can artificially create one for him, and he is even happy to do so.

But once the self is changed, even if the memory is intact, it is actually no longer that person, which makes Gellert very scared.

Isaac noticed Gellert's look, but it was difficult for him to prove it, and he had no way to prove it.

Having your mind controlled is a very scary thing, so scary that all your current thoughts may be arranged by the controller.

It’s like a person who grew up under a sacred tree. Suddenly one day, he felt constrained. He thought he had awakened and wanted to resist and be free. He made great efforts for it and finally achieved his goal.

But when he suddenly looked back, he was shocked to find that, in fact, it was not he who wanted freedom and resistance, but the ideas of freedom and resistance woven into him by the sacred tree. From the beginning to the end, he was a puppet of the sacred tree.

Therefore, Isaac could not explain anything to Gellert, because no matter how he explained it, it could be that it was intentional by the manipulator, and the more he explained, the less clear it became.

Generally speaking, people who are controlled by their thoughts are often unable to realize that their thoughts are being controlled.

Just like those Nathan Kings and Nathan Guards, they don't think they are being controlled. They even think that if they want, they can cut ties with the Nathan Sacred Tree at any time and become free people again, but they just don't want to.

At this moment, several people from Nason Island were looking at this side with serious expressions.

They didn't know what happened in the consciousness space, but they saw that the golden branch of the sacred tree connected to Ishak's palm was burned by a blue-green flame. The golden branch was the symbol of the sacred tree and should not be destroyed, but it was destroyed.

"As expected of you, you are the leader of Tiantong Sect. You can even resist the will of the sacred tree!" King Nathan, who had always been calm and composed, showed a rare look of horror on his face.

"King, what...did you see?" several Nathan guards asked anxiously.

King Nathan looked at Zhang Zhiwei, was silent for a moment, and shook his head. He could not know what happened in the consciousness space, but as the person closest to the sacred tree, he could feel the anger of the sacred tree.

This was the first time he felt this kind of emotion from the sacred tree.

In the past, the sacred tree was high up, just like the sun in the sky. The commands of the sacred tree were like sunrise and sunset, rules without any emotion.

But now, after being offended, the sacred tree finally showed emotional fluctuations like a human.

It turns out that you, who are supreme, can also feel angry... King Nathan thought to himself.

But even though this thought came to his mind, even though the Nathan sacred tree was on the verge of falling from the altar, he did not have the slightest thought of rebellion in his heart.

He closed his eyes and whispered, "We are the people of the sacred tree. The power held by the sacred tree is something that ordinary people can never understand. The sacred tree can make the living die, and it can also bring the dead back to life. The sacred tree can make the earth crack, and it can also make the sea evaporate. The sacred tree can shine like the sun, and it can also make the world fall into darkness forever..."

At the same time, three figures rushed towards them out of the fog.

"Senior Brother Zhang!"

"Senior Brother Zhang!"

"Brother!"

Lu Jin, Lu Ci and Tian Jinzhong finally arrived. They looked a little disheveled and out of breath.

Just now, after Zhang Zhiwei left first, they were no longer covered by the Qimen Dunjia and their figures were revealed. The guards in the royal city saw them as strangers wearing foreign clothes and immediately attacked them.

The three of them worked together and fought their way through the guards and rushed here.

Of course, their so-called fighting their way out of a bloody situation was different from Zhang Zhiwei's fighting their way out of a bloody situation. They really only fought their way out of a bloody situation, and a lot of blood was shed, and the one who bled the most was Lao Lu.

"Senior Brother Zhang, what's going on here?" Lu Jin said, gasping for breath.

"It's a long story!"

Although the story was long, Zhang Zhiwei made it short and told his brothers about his heroic deeds of capturing the Dark Lord single-handedly and burning the sacred tree of Nathan.

"Senior Brother, if you burn the consciousness of the Nathan sacred tree, the sacred tree won't cause us trouble?!" Tian Jinzhong said, looking at the tall sacred tree not far away.

"Xiaotian, you are such a jinx. You are here to cause trouble for us." Zhang Zhiwei said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the earth began to tremble. After sensing the characteristics of the Samadhi True Fire, the sacred tree no longer used its own consciousness to suppress people, and began to use the most direct power.
