Chapter 436 Lingxu Daomu; The Descender

There were thunder and lightning outside, and lava erupted, while the dark and dim hall remained dull.

Su Heng sat casually on his throne, chewing the bloody skull as a snack and swallowing it, waiting for Ji Huaxi's answer.

The latter reached out and gently stroked his chest.

After calming down, he raised his head and said loudly, "I wonder if you have heard of the twelve innate sacred trees in Changshengtian."

"I have seen records in some ancient books. It is said that every innate divine tree has a complete path. Even if an ordinary person is recognized by it, he can transform into a powerful person comparable to the power of destruction in a short period of time."

"Not bad!"

Ji Huaxi nodded, "I have accurate information about the Xiantian Divine Tree."

“And then…” Su Heng sneered, his face still showing a disapproving expression, “The Innate Divine Tree is indeed precious, but in my eyes it may not be valuable enough. If I want to step into the realm of realm master, I can directly refine the blood realm to meet the requirements. Why go in the opposite direction?”

"In addition to improving realms, the Xiantian Divine Tree naturally has other uses."

Ji Huaxi explained slowly, "This ancient tree is called Lingxu Daomu. Legend has it that it has the ability to reach the sky, and the path it represents is the soul.

Whether it is to swallow it or to refine it.

They can all gain great benefits in spiritual cultivation, which should be able to meet your requirements."

"If it's really like what you said, why don't you use it yourself?"

"The Lingxu Daomu is guarded by a chaotic creature from Changshengtian. Although that monster is not a destructive force, it is extremely powerful. I am no match for it."

Ji Huaxi answered honestly.

In order to find a life-saving medicine for her father, she once ventured deep into the depths of Changshengtian.

I saw many incredible wonders and discovered some treasures.

The Lingxu Daomu is the most valuable harvest among them.

Thinking of his deceased father, the light in Ji Huaxi's eyes dimmed.

Moreover, the Third Prince has an extreme personality. Even if he succeeds to the throne successfully in the future, I am afraid he will not be able to stabilize the situation.

What's more, there is an indescribable monster like Su Heng in the north of the empire. The current situation is really precarious and gloomy.

But Ji Huaxi is optimistic by nature after all.

Even if there is no hope at all, I can still adjust my state quickly.

"I will use the news about Lingxu Daomu as an apology in exchange for my freedom. What do you think?"

"If what you said is true..." Su Heng showed a gentle smile on his face, "I am not a greedy person. If you get what I want, I will let you go."

Although Su Heng has a violent personality, his credibility is quite good.

After getting Su Heng's promise, Ji Huaxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"When will we leave?"

"We have to wait a little longer." Su Heng said, "I have some things to deal with."

Li Hongxiu is in a critical period of transformation, and coupled with the fact that Argus's whereabouts are unknown, it is indeed inconvenient for Su Heng to escape now.

"it is good!"

Ji Huaxi didn't ask any more questions. "Whenever you plan to leave, let me know."

She turned around and prepared to leave, but her steps were suspended in mid-air.

"Is there anything else?" Su Heng's lazy voice came from behind.

Ji Huaxi frowned and seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still asked, "I saw those stone tablets in the square."

"Are you talking about the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills?" Su Heng laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. If you think it's useful to you, you can practice it casually. It's no problem even if you copy it and pass it on to others. I'm willing to teach anyone who wants to learn my martial arts, no matter if the other person is my friend or enemy."

Even if I was mentally prepared, I would still be shocked to hear such words.

Ji Huaxi was still shocked.

Absolute self-confidence comes from his own absolute strength. This guy is truly a complete monster from the inside out.

Ji Huaxi sighed, but she still didn't want to take advantage of others. After thinking for a while, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, a glimmer of crimson light flashed across her eyes, and she took out a heavy scroll from her arms. Her whole temperament seemed to be more uplifted, "I won't take your things for nothing, use this as an exchange."

"What is this?" Su Heng asked.

"This is the practice notes left by my father." Ji Huaxi said, while extending his hand forward.

As the gravitational force dispersed, the scroll hung in the air and opened to both sides. Su Heng's eyes quickly swept over it, and a bit of interest flashed in his eyes.

"make a deal."

"Snap" Su Heng snapped his fingers.

Ji Huaxi snorted softly, feeling that he had won back a point from Su Heng.

With his head held high and his chest puffed out, he quickly left the dark hall with bare feet as white as jade.

……

……

Wait for Ji Huaxi to leave the hall.

Su Heng turned his gaze back to the scroll that was stretching out in front of him.

The expression on his face was serious and he was completely focused, not even moving the bloody meat snacks beside him.

"call!"

A full half hour passed.

Su Heng then withdrew his gaze thoughtfully.

Then, under the influence of mental power, the scroll was put away again and put back into the flesh and blood furnace.

When his spiritual power is further improved and matches the current physical realm, Su Heng's foundation will be solid enough, and then he should consider how to go further and master his own path.

In this realm.

Most practitioners place their strength in Changshengtian.

Su Heng did not want to be controlled by others, so naturally he chose to further tap his own potential from within.

before.

Su Heng only had a general idea in his mind.

But now after obtaining Shi Teng's records and Emperor Wu's practice manual.

This idea has undoubtedly made a lot of progress and already has a rough outline in the vagueness.

However, Su Heng's mental strength was still a little lacking, and even if he tried now, it would be a result of twice the effort and half the result. Therefore, after a brief summary, Su Heng did not continue to invest his energy in this matter.

It just so happens that he has some trivial matters to deal with...

As Su Heng frowned.

Large clumps of black mist rose from his body, and ripples of powerful energy also spread outward.

After a while, the black fog dissipated, and Su Heng's burly body also disappeared from the throne.

Under Mount Tambora.

In the laboratory that has just been built.

Su Heng's burly figure gradually appeared in it, from virtual to real.

In front of him was a wide and spacious hall, surrounded by rough volcanic rocks. Chains hung from the ceiling, and several huge dark red crystals were inlaid in the corners of the wall, bringing light. In front of Su Heng, two fully armed dragon guards were guarding a heavy stone door. After seeing Su Heng, the two bowed first, then turned around and pressed the mechanism.

Rumble!
With a rough friction sound, the door slowly opened to both sides. Su Heng nodded to the two dragon guards.

Go straight ahead.

When we arrived inside the stone gate, the environment inside suddenly changed.

The rough stones were replaced by silver-white metal that blocked perception. Test tubes were placed on the test bench in the corner, and wriggling organs were immersed in transparent glass containers. The air was filled with a faint smell of blood. The ceiling above was embedded with rune light strips, and the whole room was shrouded in a layer of pale light.

There was a long metal bed in the middle of the room, on which lay a blonde girl with three-dimensional features.

The girl had a delicate face, fair skin, and a slightly raised chest.

Plus a serene look.

The whole person looked like he was asleep.

But in such a cold environment, it seemed a little weird for some reason.

This girl was Lilith who had died in Su Heng's hands before. Even without the blessing of the blood realm, Lilith's body still had a very strong vitality. The scattered flesh and blood gathered together again, and after healing, it showed a certain degree of resistance to radiation.

During this time.

Su Heng even discovered that Lilith's brain tissue, which had long been evaporated, began to heal slowly.

These days, Su Heng has been doing two things.

The first thing was to take samples from Lilith to find the source of this strange life force.

The other thing is to intervene in the process of Lilith's brain tissue healing and growing again, and modify her consciousness using some of the methods recorded in the Tathagatagarbha Sutra.

Judging from the current situation.

The first thing basically didn't produce any results.

Cloning, organ transplantation, bone marrow transplantation... Su Heng tried many methods, but the degraded bodies he created could not inherit the powerful talents and vitality of the original Lilith.

As for the second matter, things have developed to a point where it is a bit troubling.

if everything goes well.

When Lilith regains her life in Su Heng's hands, he should be able to get a subordinate at the same level as Shi Teng.

However, it will take time to further verify whether it can be controlled.

"If it is true as I originally thought, that Lilith was created by a certain person or force, then the means that this force possesses are truly incredible."

Su Heng frowned.

Looking at Lilith lying in front of him, he couldn't help but think.

He has experience in creating dragon guards, ancient knowledge gained from the demon tribe, and the Seeds of Destruction that can be called a plug-in.

But even if all these methods are combined, there is still a huge gap in technology compared to this force.

"Could it be the legendary adventer?" Su Heng couldn't help but wonder.

The origin of the Adventers is unknown, and they are suspected to be the ancestors of the humans on this land. More than 5,000 years ago, they defeated the then-powerful Demon Empire and almost wiped it out. But for some unknown reason, since the end of that war, for thousands of years, the Adventers have disappeared as if out of thin air and have never appeared again.

Moreover, the information related to them was also systematically erased. The few records that Su Heng had in his hands were obtained from the demon tribe.

So mysterious...

Su Heng always felt that these guys had no good intentions.

Unfortunately, from the beginning of his practice to now, Su Heng's intuition has always been very accurate.

"So we must be prepared." Su Heng stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Lilith's forehead. As his mind moved slightly, streams of mental power immediately penetrated into the girl's body.

But after a moment, Su Heng actually felt a little tired.

The consumption of mental energy is not so bad, but the main thing is that the meticulous manipulation is really too mentally exhausting.

call out!
Su Heng suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly.

His mind was slightly moved.

I sensed a message coming from afar through Changshengtian.

Su Heng withdrew his fingers from Lilith's forehead, thought for a moment, and then flashed away from the room.

In the long and dark corridor outside the laboratory.

Su Heng's mental power and information were linked to each other, and King Qingyang's voice suddenly came from it.

"Can you hear me?"

"Sure." Su Heng asked casually, "How is your injury recovering?"

"Thanks to the medicine you gave me, I'm recovering well." King Qingyang said with a hint of smile in his voice.

After getting rid of the Undying Corpse King, Su Heng asked King Qingyang to help collect information from the outside world, and the reward was some medicine to recover from injuries, both of them got what they needed. After nearly a month, King Qingyang summarized the information he had obtained during this period and reported to Su Heng.

"There were several large-scale invasions on the Wanyuan Plain. Because the Yellow Earth Pass was breached, we could only rely on the Imperial Guards and the remaining Heavenly Kings to hold on."

"Although the situation has been temporarily stabilized, the Imperial Guards have also suffered heavy losses."

"This is not a long-term solution. The mythical battlefield will be breached sooner or later." When he said this, King Qingyang's voice was filled with deep worry.

Although he didn't like the third prince.

But King Qingyang definitely didn't want to see the people of the world suffering.

"Besides that, there has been no movement from the Demonic Tribe for the time being. However, according to some practitioners who returned from Changshengtian, they seemed to have seen the fleet of the Demonic Tribe from afar."

"And the whereabouts of the Silver Demon Bird. I found her remaining aura in Linjiang, but it disappeared very quickly."

At this point, King Qingyang's voice was filled with a hint of doubt, "I don't know if it's an illusion or intentional, but the aura left by the Silver Demon Bird seems to be significantly weaker, and judging from the trajectory of her movements, she seems to be avoiding something.

But as a powerful being of destruction, even if she is injured, there are only a few people in the world who can threaten her. These people's whereabouts are fixed, which is really strange. "

"So what you mean is that... a powerful man of unknown origin has appeared in the Zhou Dynasty." Su Heng asked.

"That's a possibility." King Qingyang said thoughtfully.

"it is good."

Su Heng nodded immediately and said seriously, "I will pay more attention to it."

……

at the same time.

Linjiang.

In a remote mountain town.

As the sun sets, the ground is filled with red light.

The silver devil bird, which looked like a beautiful lady in palace dress, gradually swelled in size, and its feathers, like sharp swords, pierced through her gorgeous clothes, making clanging sounds.

Her face was distorted, her pupils shrank, and she was no longer confident. She looked like a beast that had been forced into a corner, extremely ferocious. Even a hoarse voice seemed to come out of her throat, "Adventer, do you really want to fight to the death with me?"

In front of her, at the other end of the street, a young monk with violet eyes was walking slowly towards her with a smile on his face.

The monk had bronze skin and was wearing a light yellow robe.

As you walk.

Dust was flying under my feet, and the air around me was distorted and blurry.

At this time, the setting sun was falling, and from the direction of the silver magic bird, it was hanging just behind the monk's head. It looked like the round light behind the Buddha, symbolizing transcendence.

Recently, there are a lot of trivial things in life, plus I want to adjust my work and rest schedule, read books and recharge, so the update is less, I am very sorry QWQ
