That great battle would certainly have attracted many powerful figures searching this area.

After all, the name of the Towering Tree is too great!

Otherwise, the secrets here would never have been left for Jiang Shu to explore.

"perhaps……"

Jiang Shu's heart stirred slightly, and he already had a guess.

He raised his hand, and the chaotic space slightly opened a door, from which a branch, imbued with the essence of time and space, grew and spread from his body.

What kind of sacred tree is this...?

The sect leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, who was standing to the side, felt a strange curiosity, even though he did not recognize the World Tree.

But I sensed an aura similar to that of Jianmu.

Clearly, this sacred tree, even if not as powerful as the Jianmu tree, is still related to it.

However, he didn't ask any questions!
After all, he doesn't specialize in the Great Dao of Wood. If he were to acquire this kind of divine wood, he would at most use it as a material for crafting.

This prevented him from advancing further and gaining the strength to contend with the Dao Lord.

There's really no need to fight over the younger generation.

Of course, the most important reason was that Jiang Shu was by his side.

If it were any other Dao Venerable, he might very well have taken action.

After all, who would complain about having too many treasures?

"Since the World Tree can sense the secrets of this place, perhaps it can help me unveil the mystery."

Jiang Shu thought to himself, his gaze fixed intently on the branches that the World Tree was extending, and quietly began to wait.

And as expected.

This bud grew out and quickly swept around, just like a hunting dog searching for prey.

The branch kept stirring, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to ripple and spacetime to fluctuate, as if a giant fish had been thrown into a calm pond.
Wow…

The ripples in space continued to spread, and suddenly, a fold appeared faintly in a certain void.

A barely perceptible crease!

Before Jiang Shu and the leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect could even investigate, the twig, like a shark smelling blood, immediately plunged into the spatial fold.

hum!
The hidden space trembled slightly, then slowly cracked open, and faintly, shimmering light and ethereal energy, along with dazzling colors and mysterious hues, were revealed.

"We found it!"

Jiang Shu's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart pounded wildly.

He took a great risk and finally found the treasure here!
A moment later, the tree branch of the world tree completely penetrated into it, and even slowly opened the spatial rift.

Jiang Shu and the leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect each took action to solidify the spatial rift, barely transforming it into a large door.

"go!"

Jiang Shu spoke and stepped inside, with the sect leader following behind.

The next moment, an indescribably rich spiritual energy rushed towards them, causing Jiang Shu and the sect leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect to tremble and their primordial spirits to become clearer.

This is a hidden, small space, extremely secluded, covering an area of ​​only two or three miles in radius. It is dark and gloomy on all sides, resembling a square earth with a round sky.

Almost immediately, Jiang Shu and the leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect were drawn to something in the center of this small hidden space.

"This is……"

The leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect stared intently, unable to resist swallowing hard.

In the center of this small space, a tree was growing.

The tree was only about the height of a person, just a sapling, yet its entire body emitted a faint light like jade. Its roots were entwined with chaotic vortexes, and spatial ripples bloomed from the tips of its tender buds. The veins of its leaves flowed with rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Upon seeing this seedling, Jiang Shu and the leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect both recalled the illusory image of the Jianmu tree they had just seen!
The seedling in front of us is probably a seedling of the towering Jianmu tree!
Gulu!

At this point, even the sect leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect could no longer contain himself. He swallowed hard, glanced at Jiang Shu, and then gave a wry smile:
"I never expected there would be a seedling here."

"Yes."

Jiang Shu's lips twitched.

He originally thought that if there were any opportunities here, he would definitely share some with the leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect.

But now it seems there's only one Jianmu tree left...

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Shu began to speak:
"Senior, this sapling of the Towering Tree is right before our eyes. Is there a way to transplant it?"

“Our two sects have already formed an alliance, so we can definitely open up a new training ground and transplant the Jianmu tree.”

"That's the truth!"

The sect leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect nodded and immediately expressed his agreement.

To be honest, when he actually saw the sapling of the Towering Tree, the leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect did feel a bit greedy.

However, he suppressed it himself in a short while.

The reason is simple: no matter how good the Tongtian Jianmu tree is, it is just a small seedling in front of us.

Only heaven knows when this tiny seedling will grow into the towering tree we just saw.

Moreover, he did not possess the cultivation method for the Heavenly Seedling.

The two slowly approached the sapling to prevent any potential problems. After waiting for a while, they found the surroundings quiet and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that this place is specifically for storing these Jianmu seedlings, and there must be no other means of arrangement."

The two of them kept looking at the seedlings, feeling a sense of bewilderment.

This Jianmu tree is so incredibly lofty that even for cultivators like them, it's practically a mythical creature.

Who knows how to transplant this thing?

Perhaps the demon race understands and has records of it, since they were the first to excavate these battlefield ruins.

However, why would those demons tell them the secret?
Unless it was obtained through soul-searching and spirit-stealing, even if the demon race offered it, human venerables like Jiang Shu wouldn't believe a single word.

"How about we try cutting off the entire space and taking it with us?"

The leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect made the suggestion.

The space they were referring to might be this hidden space, which is no more than two or three miles in size.

If the two Venerable Ones were to use all their abilities, there would indeed be a good chance they could take them all away.

"Well..."

Jiang Shu pondered for a moment, then nodded.

However, the next moment, the two began to act, and the vast spatial Dao spread out from their bodies, slowly cutting and melting the space.

Just as they were about to separate this small space from the fragments of the small world, a sudden change occurred!
Wow!
The Jianmu tree, which stood silently, trembled slightly, its branches and leaves swayed, and countless points of light scattered, as if it had suffered some kind of damage.

At the slightest movement, Jiang Shu and the sect leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect immediately stopped what they were doing, not daring to make any rash moves lest they damage the divine tree.

"It seems the idea of ​​cutting the entire space apart is no longer feasible,"

The sect leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect frowned, immediately realizing the situation was extremely troublesome. His cultivation level was equivalent to the highest level below the Dao Lord, and his understanding of the Dao of Space was incredibly profound.

Just now, he had vaguely realized why it couldn't be forcibly broken open.

"The Tongtian Jianmu is a top-level treasure of the spatial way. Its roots have already penetrated into this world, just like ordinary grass and trees taking root in the earth."

"Ordinary trees, when they take root in the earth, can keep the soil firm and retain water and soil. But when the Jianmu tree takes root here, it can stabilize the space, but it will not cause the small world fragments to collapse."

The more the sect leader spoke, the more troubled his expression became.

"In other words, if we forcibly dismantle it, not only will this Jianmu tree be damaged, but the surrounding microcosm will also collapse. At that time, we will have to protect the Jianmu seedling and leave this place."

Jiang Shu also gasped.

This is absolutely a nightmare level of difficulty!
Not only did they have to protect the Jianmu tree and withstand the collapse of the small world's fragments, but they also had to cross the repulsive force of the outside world before rushing back to the Demon Realm.

More importantly, a demon lord has already descended upon this land.

If the Demon Lord senses this towering Jianmu tree...

They didn't even manage to bring the Jianmu tree back.

Even getting back alive won't be easy!
At this moment, even he felt an excruciating headache.

Actually, if the leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect wasn't here...

There is, however, a solution that is not a solution.

He could travel back to the Star Ruins Realm and make arrangements for the Towering Tree first.

Come back again.

However, with the sect leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect nearby, he naturally couldn't simply disappear into thin air.

Therefore, it actually stayed in the same place.

The leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect was also at a loss. He couldn't help but look at Jiang Shu and then said:
"What methods did you use to find this place? Why don't you try again? We might as well give it a shot."

"Um... okay, I'll give it a try."

Jiang Shu gave a wry smile and simply nodded.

When the World Tree was discovered, Jiang Shu immediately took the branch back.

After all, if the World Tree had directly devoured the Jianmu seedling, even the current leader of the Tiankui Sect couldn't explain it for the time being.

The next moment, the chaotic space within Jiang Shu's body opened again, and the World Tree sapling immediately extended its branches, wrapping around the trunk of the Jianmu tree.

Jiang Shu witnessed this scene and waited patiently.

A dense aura of spatial and temporal energy emanated from the tree, causing the somewhat dim Jianmu sapling to tremble slightly and emit a similar aura.

They complement each other!

The leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, with a burning gaze, stood guard to the side, waiting.

But a moment later, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, the surrounding void trembled slightly, and Jianmu suddenly pulled back one of its roots!
"This is!"

A hint of joy flashed in Jiang Shu's eyes.

The next moment, the root spread out and merged into the World Tree.

Just one root, and more and more of the Jianmu roots were retrieved and began to combine with the World Tree seedlings.

As Jiang Shu sensed the changes within his body, a sudden realization dawned on him.

"I see……"

He realized that this was Jianmu's instinctive choice.

For a tree to grow, it must take root in a resilient天地 (heaven and earth), but this fragment of a small world is too weak and too small; it is inherently incomplete.

As a result, even though the Jianmu tree has been growing here for many years, it can only barely survive and does not have enough nutrients to continue growing.

Compared to this dilapidated space, Jiang Shu's World Tree is clearly a better choice.

As time went by, one by one, the roots of the Jianmu tree that had been rooted deep in these spaces were drawn out and took root on the World Tree.

As one branch after another emerged, the surrounding space suddenly trembled slightly, like a building block whose foundation had been removed, which might be blown over by a gust of wind.

The leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect stomped his foot, and the Great Dao of Space spread out, barely stabilizing the space with his own cultivation to prevent it from collapsing immediately.

"Hurry up, don't delay any longer. Otherwise, things might change."

The sect leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect immediately spoke up.

"Senior, don't worry."

Jiang Shu nodded slightly, fully manipulating the World Tree branches and Jianmu roots within his body to intertwine.

At this moment, the World Tree buds within his body began to continuously feed back to the Jianmu tree, providing not only spiritual support but also support in terms of time and space.

For an ancient divine tree like Jianmu, ordinary spiritual power is of little use; space and time are the soil in which it survives.

And without a doubt, the World Tree, which can form its own world, is one of the companions of Jianmuhao.

A continuous stream of power emerged, the Great Dao of Time and Space spread, and the Jianmu accelerated its extraction of roots.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the distant sky, ferocious and terrifying, as a torrent of poisonous energy, like a black tide, poured in.

"Damn it, they really came!"

The Heavenly Puppet Sect Master's expression changed slightly. He flicked his finger, and nine Venerable-level puppets shot out.

Each of these puppets exudes a different aura of the Great Dao.

The Great Way of Space, the Great Way of Earth, the Great Way of Fire...

These puppets combined and merged, eventually forming a large array that isolated the inside from the outside.

A halo of light radiating various colors suddenly opened, enveloping Jiang Shu and the leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, forcefully pushing the originally surging black tide away into the distance.

The repulsive forces of heaven and earth seemed to have sensed the commotion here, and surged forth, causing the spiritual energy on the great formation to be devoured.

For a time, this scene resembled a reef on the coast, constantly subjected to the impact of fierce winds and torrential rains, yet remaining steadfast and unmoved.

"I'm afraid we're going to suffer huge losses..."

The leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect wore a wry smile as he continuously recalled the puppets that were collecting resources while expanding the great formation.

This black current, formed from the repulsive force of heaven and earth, can corrupt the spirit.

Once his Venerable puppets are used, the spirituality contained within them will be corrupted. However, over time, these puppets may collapse and become unusable.

"When I get back, I'll make sure that bastard Taiwu pays me a huge sum of money."

Suddenly, the puppets that were collecting resources entered the formation one by one, making the formation more stable and withstanding the backlash from the black dark current!
However, this is ultimately a limited time; one can withstand it for a while, but not forever!
The cracks in the sky are increasing, and the ground beneath our feet is trembling violently. Thunder roars and gales rage, as if everything is about to be destroyed, which makes people feel fear.

Rumble!
The heavens and earth shook, as if everything was about to be destroyed.

The Heavenly Puppet Sect Master's expression turned quite ugly, but he couldn't care less about anything else at the moment.

He raised his hand, and another batch of puppets flew off his body, protecting the great formation. (End of Chapter)
