Chapter 779: The Ancient Tree of Garo
Leia's message made Bai Pu and Dong Bo Chengzhi look at each other, and they both saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

Dong Bo Chengzhi raised his eyebrows: "You are right. What should we do now?"

Bai Pu narrowed his eyes and said to himself:
It is indeed a golden branch line...

It seems that the difficulty of this golden side quest does not lie in the two demons guarding the Root Palace...

But it’s the Green Emperor’s barrier in front of him!

"Dong Bo, from Liya's feedback, we can see that the Qing Emperor barrier is not an isolated barrier, but there are barrier nodes set up in many important locations in the Corruption Forest, such as the Root Palace and the Miasma Spring, forming a barrier network covering the Corruption Forest!"

Bai Pu spoke calmly about his inference.

Dong Bo Chengzhi secretly admired Bai Pu for being able to calm down so quickly despite the mental pressure from the Green Emperor's phantom. He was worthy of being his best friend, the man who had once killed the Demon Emperor.

The Green Emperor's phantom sneered, "You guessed right, so what? To tell you the truth... the source of the power of this huge barrier covering the Forest of Corruption is the root of the ancient tree 'Garro'!"

"Garro ancient tree?"

Dong Bo Chengzhi's face changed color.

"What kind of tree is that?" Bai Pu was not sure.

Dong Bo Chengzhi said: "The ancient Jialuo tree is the root of all trees in the legend... It is said that the billions of trees in the East Wasteland Forest are all new shoots that grew from the roots of the ancient Jialuo tree."

After hesitating for a while, Dong Bo Chengzhi shook his head and said, "No, I don't believe it... This is just an ancient legend from thousands of years ago..."

The Qing Emperor sneered and said, "Qinglong's descendants, do you know how this 'legend' was passed down in your Qinglong Oath Family? In other words, do you know the source of the legend?"

Dong Bo Chengzhi hesitated and said, "This is a legend mentioned in the demon hunting anecdotes of our ancestors..."

The Green Emperor laughed loudly: "That's right, the matter about the ancient Jialuo tree was told to me by your ancestor Qinglong himself! I didn't expect that in just a thousand years, it has become an 'ancient legend'. Even Qinglong's descendants don't believe it..."

Dong Bocheng was struck by lightning.

Bai Pu couldn't help but look directly at the demon emperor Qingdi.

Apart from other things, just being able to calm down the always carefree Dong Bo Chengzhi was not easy. Qingdi, an old antique who existed thousands of years ago, was really capable.

However, Bai Pu would not be as afraid of the Green Emperor as Dong Bo Chengzhi.

It's nothing more than an indigenous demon from the Heart Demon Plane! Without the secret treasure of the Red Race to increase the difficulty, the Green Emperor is just like the Red Emperor, and Bai Pu is fully capable of fighting.

Even though Qingdi’s strength is not comparable to Bai Pu’s now, Bai Pu is not afraid.

Even God has made me do this, so why should I be afraid of you?

Bai Pu stroked the wooden wall. His spiritual power spread out, and he could vaguely see the light green barrier.

"Actually, this barrier is not unbreakable." Bai Pu suddenly said something out of the blue.

Dong Bo Chengzhi's eyes widened.

The Green Emperor Phantom sneered and shook his head. Leah on the other end of the line exclaimed in surprise.

Bai Pu said slowly: "Just as the Qing Emperor said, the source of power for this huge barrier covering the Forest of Corruption is the ancient Garo tree. How many years has this ancient tree existed? Is it dead or alive?"

Dong Bo Chengzhi hesitated and said, "The ancient Jialuo tree has definitely existed for more than a thousand years... It existed before there were any written records. As for whether it is alive... It should be alive, otherwise the billions of trees in the East Wasteland Sea would have died, wouldn't they?"

"You're half right. I think the ancient Garo tree should be in a half-dead state... or in a dormant state, similar to the current state of the Scarlet Emperor."

Bai Pu raised a finger, "The Qing Emperor just said: The source of the power of the barrier is the root of the ancient Garo tree. You also said that the millions of trees in the East Wasteland Forest are all new shoots growing on the 'roots' of the ancient Garo tree... So I guess that at this time, the ancient Garo tree only has a huge root system left, and its trunk and crown are long dead."

After a pause, Bai Pu continued, "The source of power of the Garo Ancient Tree can be used by the Green Emperor as the power source of the barrier, which means that the ancient tree still has residual consciousness. As long as we subdue or eliminate the residual consciousness of the Garo Ancient Tree, its source of power will completely dissipate, and the barrier will naturally collapse."

Bai Pu's inference comes from common sense:
A strong individual is a combination of body, consciousness and energy.

Among them, the body carries consciousness and energy, and consciousness condenses and controls energy.

The incomplete shell of the ancient Garo tree means that its consciousness is incomplete, and only remnants remain. It is precisely because of this remnant consciousness that it continues to gather the huge demonic power of the ancient tree and keep it from dispersing.

The phantom of the Green Emperor changed color and stopped talking.

Dong Bo Chengzhi was a little hesitant: "Gang Xin, can you really do it? The rank of the ancient Garo tree... I'm afraid it surpasses the Demon King. How can you subdue or eliminate its remaining consciousness?"

The Green Emperor Phantom finally spoke: "Humph, you can't even sense where the consciousness of the ancient tree of Garo is, and yet you are just bragging here!"

Bai Pu shook his head: "That's not necessarily true... But before I awaken the ancient tree's consciousness, I have to make some preparations... Dong Bo, you protect me."

After saying this, Bai Pu actually sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

In Bai Pu's mental space, the volume of [Secret Insights from the Nanzhu Fenxin School] slowly unfolded.

The information stream he had received earlier had helped Bai Pu comprehend the secrets of the Red Lotus. However, due to time constraints, he had not had the opportunity to thoroughly digest and sort out this secret scroll. Bai Pu still had a lot to learn about the "additional special effects" of the secrets of the Red Lotus.

Now, Bai Pu was about to fully comprehend this secret scroll - he vaguely felt that the additional special effects of the Red Lotus Secret would be of great use here!
Dong Bo Chengzhi was a little surprised.

Seeing Bai Pu sitting cross-legged and many demons and soldiers behind him breaking into the palace one after another, Dong Bo Chengzhi instantly realized what Bai Pu meant by "guardian" and quickly drew his sword.

The sword energy was like the wind, gently blowing through the hall. The demons and soldiers were pierced by the sword light and died on the spot.

Fortunately, at this time, the elite demons of the Root Palace followed the two demon generals into the Demon Skeleton Road, and those left here were basically useless demon soldiers.

Otherwise, with Dong Bo Chengzhi's injured and exhausted body, he might not be able to protect Bai Pu.

The Green Emperor sneered and said, "You're trying to bluff people with a copy of the Suzaku School's secret book? The Demon Throat will be here in a blink of an eye, and the Dead Tree and Ghost Vine generals are also on their way back... Let's see how this drama ends!"

Bai Pu turned a deaf ear to him. His consciousness was immersed in the mental space, and he differentiated into multiple phantoms of powerful men. Each of them used the secret sword technique of Nanzhu Fenxinliu to attack Bai Pu's main consciousness!
The Green Emperor was not bluffing.

Outside the Root Palace, red fog filled the air and a giant centipede demon several dozen meters long rushed into the palace with its fangs and claws bared.

The true form of the Devil's Maw has arrived!
