Chapter 306: Immortal Tree Taoist, reaching a cooperation, whereabouts of the Barbarian King
call!
The cold wind blew and the leaves swayed.
As if hearing footsteps from behind, the melodious piano music gradually stopped, but the echo still lingered in this world, like a hazy mist.
The woman in white picked up the Yaoqin on her knees, turned around, and revealed a cold and beautiful face.
She seemed to have some exotic blood, with three-dimensional facial features and a high nose bridge. But her skin was very white, as if it was carved from ice and snow. She stood in front of Su Heng in the shadow cast by the Bodhi tree. She was graceful and elegant, and there was a sense of unreality.
"The ages are so long that I have no idea how many years have passed. I have been sleeping in this snowy mountain for a long time. Why do you disturb my sweet dreams?" The woman looked at Su Heng with deep eyes and spoke calmly.
"The mythical battlefield has arrived, the world is in chaos, and smoke of war is everywhere."
Su Heng's considering gaze lingered on her for a moment, and then he replied, "In the glorious picture I created, there is no place for the three major secret sects. I regard them as threats and they should be eliminated, even the oldest White Pagoda Temple is no exception."
“But as you can see, the White Pagoda Temple has now become history,” the woman in white replied.
"maybe……"
Su Heng sneered, "But in my eyes, your existence is more dangerous than the White Pagoda Temple."
"You think I'm a potential threat?" The woman in white replied, "But ever since my dynasty fell, I have lived in seclusion here for a thousand years without caring about worldly affairs. At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty had not even been established, and this land has never belonged to you."
"I was the first to come here, and you are the latecomer...and yet you see me as a threat." The woman in white said calmly.
"So, you are talking to me about reason?" Su Heng asked.
"I am a very reasonable person." The woman in white looked into his eyes and answered seriously.
"But you should know that in this world, there is only strength and weakness, not right or wrong." Su Heng said, "Otherwise, the Great Yue Dynasty, which was famous a thousand years ago, would not have been destroyed, and you would not have ended up in this situation now."
The woman in white tilted her head and thought seriously, "What you said makes sense."
As her voice fell.
Suddenly, there was a sound of rustling footsteps around.
Su Heng looked up and looked around. He saw a group of figures with dull eyes and corpse spots on their bodies appearing in the lush and gloomy woods in the snow. All of these people looked at Su Heng, and a terrible aura came from their bodies.
At a glance, all these people are celestial ghosts.
There are even a few powerful ones in the Earthly Immortal Realm hidden among them.
No wonder the White Pagoda Temple, once the strongest of the three major Tantric sects, has fallen to its current state.
Over the past thousand years, all the powerful and accomplished practitioners in the White Pagoda Temple have been secretly controlled and refined, becoming puppets manipulated by the man in front of him.
The woman in white stopped talking.
Her eyes were also empty, she was holding the Yaoqin in her arms, and snowflakes were falling around her.
A thousand years ago, this former Princess Dayue was extremely beautiful and was a powerful person who was famous at that time. In the past thousand years, she has refined the spiritual power of many Tantric monks, and with the help of these puppets, her strength is unfathomable, and she is definitely a very dangerous opponent.
And now, both of them stopped talking and fell into silence.
The atmosphere seemed somewhat tense, and a world-shattering war could break out at any time.
But Su Heng was not afraid.
Even the corners of his mouth were slightly stretched, with an evil smile on his face.
"Of course you can choose to attack me." Su Heng glanced at the zombies, then looked at the princess again and continued, "But you have to think clearly about the consequences of attacking me."
"So, you gave me another choice?"
"I came to conquer." Su Heng said, "Either kneel down to me or embrace destruction."
"Then I have no choice but to fight!" said the woman in white coldly.
“Ha!” Su Heng said with a smile, “If you were in your prime, you might have some qualifications to challenge me. But you now…”
Su Heng touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "This shouldn't be your real body."
The woman in white stared at him blankly, and then suddenly sighed softly, "I can't hide it from you after all."
The voice sounded a little tired.
It was not coming from the woman in front of him, but from the lush Bodhi tree next to the woman.
Wow!
The leaves trembled and the soil rolled.
With a loud friction sound, the already huge Bodhi tree grew further in front of Su Heng.
Large pieces of green leaves fell off and turned into ashes in mid-air. The original bark cracked and exploded, and a large amount of scarlet flesh and blood rushed out from the cracks, wrapping around the tree.
In just two or three breaths, the sacred and peaceful Bodhi tree appeared before my eyes.
It turned into a bloody evil tree that was hundreds of meters tall, with flesh and blood as its skin, bones as its branches, and a large number of disgusting corpses hanging on the tree.
As this evil tree of flesh and blood appeared in front of Su Heng, dark clouds rolled in the sky, blocking the sunlight, and from time to time, a blood-red thunder flashed.
And the corpse hanging from the tree trunk...
There are not only monks, but also some demons emitting powerful auras, and ancient knights covered in armor.
They were all dead, but some of their bodies were shrunken, some were rotten, and some were relatively well preserved. Wisps of blood-red mist drifted out from the bodies, quickly covering a radius of several thousand meters, completely enveloping Su Heng's burly figure.
puff!
A long and narrow crack appeared on the tree.
Accompanied by a spurt of foul-smelling blood, a bloody face appeared in front of Su Heng.
It was like a beautiful woman having her face skin peeled off, with the scarlet muscles and yellowish fat inside all exposed, only her dark pupils still deep and calm.
Through these eyes, one can vaguely see that this is the same person as the woman in white just now.
"This is..." Su Heng looked surprised.
I have encountered many mysterious things during my practice, but I still feel that the ancient tree in front of me is a little weird.
"This is the immortal tree." The woman on the tree trunk opened her red lips and answered at this time.
"Just like the Seed of Destruction in you, the Immortal Tree is also an ancient life form in Changshengtian. It was the national treasure of the former Dayue Dynasty. When the dynasty collapsed, I was seriously injured. The vitality in my body was almost cut off, and only a remnant soul was left. I had no choice but to possess this ancient tree."
As if seeing the confusion on Su Heng's face, the woman did not hide anything and spoke slowly.
"No wonder." Su Heng suddenly realized, "In the millennia of the modern world, even the strong men in the Earthly Immortal Realm cannot withstand the wear and tear brought by time. The fact that you can live until now should be attributed to the Immortal Tree."
"But there is a destiny between life and death." Su Heng said, "If you force your way through this destiny, no matter what power you use, you will have to pay a price. There is no way there will be no risk."
"You're right."
The bloody female face replied, "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you."
"I am possessed by the Immortal Tree, but the Immortal Tree also wants to assimilate me."
"The battle between me and the Immortal Tree has lasted for a thousand years. With the help of the monks in the White Pagoda Temple, things have gradually stabilized."
"But there is only one thing..."
The woman paused, and the trunks of the immortal trees vibrated. One of the trunks was several dozen meters long, with human skin and dried intestines wrapped around it, rising up into the sky.
Su Heng looked up in the direction the tree trunk was pointing.
But I saw it.
There was further movement in the sky which had been covered with dark clouds just now.
Those lead-gray clouds turned into blood red at some point, and condensed into a vortex, hanging downwards.
The blood-red thunder was like a dancing dragon.
And what's even more amazing is.
Those thunders seemed to possess some kind of spirituality and turned into living beings.
There were dragons leaping and tigers roaring. They were all made of pure thunder, yet they were lifelike, as if living creatures were reflected.
"Is this... a thunder tribulation!?" Su Heng had only heard about it from other people before.
As for seeing it with my own eyes, this is the first time.
He recalled how he had forced his way into the blood realm before and was suppressed.
And now the growth of the immortal tree has brought about a thunder disaster, and the reasons may be similar.
"The Immortal Tree is a life form that grows in the Eternal Heaven. It can hide itself when it is just born, but as it grows, its aura becomes more and more obvious, and it is bound to be rejected by this world. Facing the heavenly tribulation is inevitable, and it is also an experience that must be experienced if it wants to fully mature."
"I want you to help me survive this thunderstorm." The woman on the immortal tree said calmly.
Su Heng was very confident in his ability, "I can indeed do it, but the key question is, why should I choose to help you."
"There is a lack of trust between us. How can we allow others to snore beside our bed?"
"I will use this opportunity to get rid of you and put an end to it. This is the simplest solution."
"What you said makes sense."
The woman had a thoughtful expression on her face. "After the Immortal Tree grows, the fruit it bears is a treasure for cultivators. It can greatly improve your spiritual cultivation, which is no less than a complete transformation. It should be of great use to you now."
"That's true." Su Heng thought for a moment, "But that's not enough."
"What else do you want?"
"I said, I came here to conquer." Su Heng said calmly, "Submission or destruction, you can only choose one."
He turned his palm upward.
In the palm of his hand, a ball of gray-black mist swirled, "Integrate this spiritual power into your body, and the contract between us will be completed."
This gray-black mist is formed by the power of the Seed of Destruction.
As long as it is forcibly merged, it is equivalent to Su Heng leaving a restriction on the Immortal Tree.
By the time.
In a moment, this force was detonated.
The sudden burst of power would have seriously damaged the evil ancient tree even if it hadn't died.
In this way, the Immortal Tree is basically in Su Heng's hands, and there is a basis for continued cooperation between the two.
Seeing the woman on the Immortal Tree fall silent, Su Heng continued, "With your strength, this power shouldn't trap you for too long. In three years at most, you should be able to digest it and escape."
"I will give you a chance to challenge me then." Su Heng raised a smile and said confidently, "If you can hold out for three moves against me then... never mind, three moves is too much for you. If you still have the courage to stand in front of me and challenge me then, I will let you go, and you will be free again. I will never ask about you again."
"How is it?" Su Heng smiled and said, "A thousand years have passed in a hurry. The remaining three years should not be worth mentioning for your long life."
There was a rustling sound from the immortal tree in front of them. The bloody woman opened her mouth and uttered a word from her red lips, "Okay!"
Su Heng gently lowered his outstretched hand.
A gray cyclone formed by the erosion of authority and part of the spiritual power flew forward and was swallowed by the woman in one gulp.
Swish!
The trunk and leaves rubbed violently.
The dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and the Undead Tree quickly shrank its disguise and transformed back into the Bodhi tree it was just now.
Under the shadow of the mottled sunlight, the figure of the woman in white turned from virtual to real and appeared in front of Su Heng again.
Su Heng looked at the beautiful and cold woman in front of him, and then thought of the immortal tree he had just seen, and suddenly a strange feeling surged in his heart.
"Oh, right!" Su Heng said, "I still don't know your name, how should I address you?"
"I remember the ancient books recorded that your name was Zhao..."
"Perhaps I was already dead when the remaining soul merged into the Immortal Tree. What's left is just an obsession." The woman interrupted Su Heng's words, tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Call me the Dark Daoist."
"Okay!" Su Heng said.
"It seems that there is still some time before the Immortal Tree fully grows and the Heavenly Tribulation arrives."
The Taoist of the Underworld nodded and said, "The power contained in the heavenly tribulation is like water and fire to the immortal tree. It is a natural nemesis. I would like to ask for your help."
"Yes." Su Heng nodded, "When you feel something, you can send someone to Baihua County to find me."
"In most cases, I like to use force to solve problems." Su Heng thought of something and smiled, "But if there is something I promised to someone, then generally speaking, I will not break my promise."
"Goodbye then." Su Heng waved his hand.
The underworld Taoist held the Yaoqin in his arms and watched him disappear into the dense forest of Bodhi trees.
Then her figure became fainter and fainter, and finally disappeared. Only the ancient harp was still placed gently on the grass.
……
"How is the matter going?" When they came outside, Meng Huan and Wu Cuicheng were both waiting here. They looked a little anxious, and they were relieved when they saw Su Heng.
"It has basically been resolved." Su Heng said, "It's just as I expected. The princess of the former Dayue Dynasty is still alive."
He briefly recounted what happened during their previous meeting.
Listen.
Both Meng Huan and Wu Cuicheng seemed somewhat emotional.
"The world is vast, and the opportunities are endless." Meng Huan said, "The princess is no ordinary person, as she was able to turn the tide against the wind and overcome numerous difficulties to survive until now despite being seriously injured and dying."
"From ancient times to the present, those who can leave their names in history are not ordinary people." Wu Cuicheng echoed.
"The three major secret sects have been eradicated, and the matter on Skull Plain has basically come to an end." Su Heng thought for a moment and said, "Now there is only one thing left. The Hundred Buddha Temple was actually destroyed by the Barbarian King Solban. But after this incident, he disappeared. Do you have any news here?"
The two had met once before at the Dharma King Temple.
But the situation was special at that time, and Solban left first, so he didn't get to have a good fight.
But now Su Heng has swept the entire Skeleton Plain, but Solban is still nowhere to be seen. He suddenly feels a little unsatisfied.
