Chapter 527 The birth of the sacred tree 7
Looking into Tan Wei's bloodshot eyes, his clenched fists, and his trembling body, Qing Sang knew he was on the verge of a violent breakdown. Over thirty thousand years of unwavering devotion had long since driven him mad, turning him into a mere shell sustained only by his burning resentment. She was certain that if she shook her head, Tan Wei would immediately go berserk and destroy everything here.

Sighing inwardly, Qing Sang said helplessly, "As you know, I've only just merged with the Divine Tree, and my memories aren't complete yet. Please allow me to search." She closed her eyes, carefully searching through her received memories for a method of rebirth. However, the Flower Goddess had perished on the Long Abyss battlefield, her body and soul destroyed. Presumably, if Demon Lord Tan Wei hadn't used some secret technique, not even a remnant soul would have remained. Now, that remnant soul had dissipated due to the prolonged loss of its origin, and there seemed to be no way to save it. But she couldn't tell Tan Wei the truth; the Demon Lord wasn't so easily fooled. Just as she was agonizing over this, she suddenly felt a movement in her palm—the Tree of Life. Yue Ran seemed to sense Qing Sang's distress, gently waving it in her palm before sending a wisp of her consciousness into her mind.

A moment later, Qing Sang opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Tan Wei staring at her intently. He seemed to have not moved since she closed her eyes.

"I want to know what secret method you used to find the remnant soul of the Flower Goddess?" Qing Sang asked cautiously. "I need a medium."

Tan Wei spoke slowly, his voice hoarse: "It's a secret technique of the Demon Clan, requiring the heart's blood and the personal belongings of the person being sought." He raised his hand, and a blood-red hairpin appeared in his palm, radiating a dense demonic aura. He looked down at the hairpin intently, then his palm surged with demonic energy, enveloping it. After a moment, the demonic energy dissipated, revealing the hairpin's true form. It was actually a wooden hairpin, with a blue jacaranda flower carved at the end. It had only emitted this intense demonic aura because it had been soaked in the Demon Lord's heart's blood. Now, revealed in its true form, it was dull and lifeless, even losing the natural luster of the wood, so fragile it seemed it would break at the slightest touch.

Tan Wei suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, but he didn't care. He raised his hand and gently pushed, and the hairpin slowly flew up and hovered in front of Qing Sang.

Qing Sang didn't waste any words. She opened her right palm, and the Tree of Life, topped with two leaves, emerged from her palm. Then, a green sphere appeared and flew towards the hairpin, enveloping it. However, after waiting for a long time, nothing changed.

The two leaves on Yue Ran's head swayed gently. Qing Sang understood that she meant too much time had passed, and the power attached to the hairpin was almost imperceptible. Moreover, this hairpin was something Mi Ying used when she underwent her tribulation; even if it was used close to her body, there was no trace of her divine power. Tan Wei had already gone through countless hardships and paid a great price to find her remnant soul with this faint residual power. After the vicissitudes of these past 30,000 years, that faint power had also dissipated completely.

Qing Sang pondered for a moment, then revealed her true form. After merging with the divine tree, she was no longer the slender sapling. A thick trunk extended, and a towering tree instantly unfolded in this space, its fiery red leaves moving without wind, radiating golden light. With a slight tremor of her branches, golden light scattered, covering the entire space. At the same time, two red leaves slowly drifted down to Liu Shuangyue and the Demon Shadow Rabbit's heads, then grew larger, protecting them within. However, the previously rampaging demon shadows vanished upon touching the light spots, not even having time to scream. The demons, realizing what was happening, scattered and fled. The noisy space suddenly fell silent, leaving only the sound of the wind rustling the leaves.

Demon Lord Tan Wei stood under the tree, staring intently at the unresponsive flower hairpin in the green orb of light, letting the light spots fall on him, making a hissing and burning sound.

After an unknown amount of time, golden specks of light suddenly flew back and landed on the green sphere of light. Then, faint blue specks of light fell from the green sphere and merged into the hairpin. After that, specks of light began to fly back one by one, and then the blue specks of light gradually fell into the hairpin and disappeared. After about fifteen minutes, it became quiet.

Qing Sang transformed back into human form and breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the flower hairpin, which had regained some of its luster, within the green sphere of light. She realized that since Mi Ying's remnant soul had been sealed here for ten thousand years along with her Fusang Divine Tree, there must still be some connection. Therefore, she reverted to her original form and scattered her spiritual energy throughout the space, searching for any remaining traces of Mi Ying's spiritual power. Fortunately, she found some spiritual energy that hadn't been absorbed.

The green orb of light slowly rotated, the life force within it beginning to circulate. It then disappeared into the hairpin, which slowly fell to the ground. Qing Sang caught it with her spiritual power and pushed it, along with a red leaf, towards Tan Wei. Tan Wei reached out and caught it, looking at Qing Sang as he waited for her to speak. "After all the flowers and trees become spirits and perish, they mostly return to nature to be reborn. After collecting the spiritual energy attached to her, I discovered that the hairpin still contained aura and vitality. So it is very likely that she has turned back into a flower seed, scattered in some part of the world, waiting for the right time to take root and sprout again. The world is so vast, as for where that is, I do not know. You can carry this hairpin, and it can guide you within a certain range. However, remember, this hairpin must not be tainted by demonic energy again. I am giving you this red leaf, which can help isolate it from demonic energy when placed with the hairpin. At the same time, the becoming of a spirit of a flower or tree also requires a certain opportunity. If you need help, you can infuse it with spiritual energy to send a message to me, and I will lend her a hand as repayment for the kindness of guarding the sacred tree for me."

Qing Sang actually felt the hope was slim; the world was too vast. But thinking back to when Tan Wei searched for Ying Canhun's soul, it wasn't much easier than this, so he stopped talking. Perhaps he really could find it.

"Thank you!" Tan Wei said solemnly.

Qing Sang nodded: "But if you leave, can this world still exist?" Although her power had just dispersed and eliminated many demons, there were still many potential demons, and she did not want them to leave.

“This world is supported by my power. If I leave, it will surely collapse.” Tan Wei frowned as he looked at Qing Sang, and then said, “As for the remaining demons, just devour them.”

Before Qing Sang could speak, the Shadow Rabbit rushed over and buried its head in her arms, crying out in fear, "Master... Master..."

Qing Sang patted the little rabbit's black head, comforting it. "Then would you like to leave with me?"

"Of course I'm willing. I'll be wherever Master is, and I'll protect Master." The Shadow Rabbit spoke anxiously, and its speech became much more fluent.

"You can follow me, but what about your underlings?" Qing Sang smiled slightly. She also quite liked this little rabbit, which had helped her a lot along the way.

"Master, wait for me!" The Shadow Rabbit leaped out of Qing Sang's arms, landing and running a long distance in the blink of an eye. It opened its mouth and cried out, and soon its scattered followers gathered from all directions. Suddenly, the Shadow Rabbit's body grew larger, then it opened its mouth, and one by one, its followers lined up and jumped into its mouth, disappearing from sight. Once all the giant black rabbits had vanished, the Shadow Rabbit's body shrank again, and in a flash, it returned to Qing Sang's side.
