National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants.

Chapter 69: Black Turtle Forbidden Land
"Also, have you noticed that the effect of the bug that parasitizes me seems to be different from the effect of the bug that parasitizes Ji Wuming?"

Yan Linger recalled, "As a child of an aristocratic family, Ji Wuming had no shortage of food and clothing, and beautiful women were always at his fingertips. People only flattered him, and he was actually a little arrogant in his bones, but later his temperament changed drastically. I found that he became arrogant and conceited."

"arrogant?"

Lin Zhi, who had been deeply influenced by the Internet in his previous life, suddenly had a brainwave and seemed to have an idea about this parasite.

"Yes, that's right. If the parasites that parasitize Ji Wuming can cause people to be arrogant, then the parasites that parasitize me can cause lust."

Yan Ling'er concluded.

"Aren't these the seven deadly sins?"

Lin Zhi suddenly realized, and then combined with Ji Wuming's statement, the statement of true spirit parasitism was obviously very false.

"Altars are usually used for sealing. If a gardener is nearing the end of his life, there are many ways to prolong his life. For example, there is a secret time-delay realm where time flows extremely slowly."

Yan Linger continued, "There are also methods of prolonging life by using longevity fruits, such as taking a spiritual plant called marigold. In addition, there are some evil methods of prolonging life, such as taking over another's body and being reborn, offering sacrifices to the dead, etc. On the contrary, this method of sealing oneself and leaving the future to fate is the lowest."

"Indeed, if it were me, I would not choose this seal. I would leave the future to luck." Lin Zhi agreed.

So, let's assume that this seal is not actually sealing the true spirits of the ancestors of the indigenous people, but is sealing something similar to these parasites?"

"You mean, parasites are a third-party force that does not belong to the indigenous people?" Lin Zhi suddenly understood.

If this is the case, then it can explain why the natives did not capture the genius at the beginning of the civilization war and then let the parasites infect them.
Because they are not on the same path!

This also explains why the natives had to perform sacrifices, most likely to strengthen and consolidate the seal.

It also explains why the Ji family instigated the destruction of the altar.

However, if this explanation is given, there is still one thing that doesn't make sense, that is, why would the natives give themselves the descendant of the Phoenix who could obtain the token of passage to the Xuanwu Forbidden Land?

As long as it is not given to themselves, humans will not be able to deceive the trust of those in the forbidden area and will not be able to approach the altar.

Unless the Red Phoenix Clan is also parasitized...

But the problem goes back to the starting point. If the Red Phoenix Clan was parasitized, they could have planned a subtle parasitism many years ago, and there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

"We have too little information now, so we can't deduce the truth of the matter." Yan Ling'er said.

Lin Zhi nodded.

"We can only wait and see when we go to the forbidden area tomorrow."

……

The next morning, Lin Zhi used his secret technique to transform himself into a man with a bird's beak.

The other peerless geniuses who went with them also transformed into orcs of various appearances.

To Lin Zhi's surprise, the Ji family's personal guards beside Ji Wuming also changed and hid their cultivation from the Holy Crown Realm to the Red Moon Realm.

"The Ji family's secret technique is truly amazing. Even a Hundred-Eyed Vine like me cannot see through its disguise." Fang Zhengyi stroked his beard and sighed.

“If we were to be discovered by you, we wouldn’t dare let them go. With the Ji family’s Saint Crown Realm people accompanying them, the students’ safety factor is much higher.” Ma Qingtian said.

At this time, seeing that everyone was ready, the beautiful woman Huali said: "Classmates, it's up to you now!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, but Lin Zhi felt a little gloomy in his heart.

He had not expected that the Ji family's personal guards would also come with him. Five gardeners at the Saint Crown level plus more than a dozen Saint Crown body-refining gods would be difficult to deal with...

I wonder how strong these peerless geniuses are, and whether they can challenge opponents of higher levels?
Lin Zhi couldn't help but look at Ma Wanli, who had transformed into a tiger head, and Fang Pin, who had transformed into a leopard head.

Among the peerless geniuses he knew, only these two had reached the Zi Yang level.

The others are still wandering in the Red Moon Realm.

……

At noon, Ma Wanli and Fang Pin led the way in front. Lin Zhi, with dozens of peerless geniuses and their gods' favored ones playing the role of wild beast natives, a group of several hundred people passed through the clouds and mist and arrived at the main peak of the Black Turtle Forbidden Land.

They had been running all the way from the military camp for half a day before arriving here. As soon as they entered the forbidden area, they felt the world spinning and the space shifting. Lin Zhi found that they soon appeared in a strange "world".

Stepping on the fallen leaves, Lin Zhi found himself standing on a mountain peak. He saw that this "world" was full of mountains and forests, as if he had come to another dimension.

According to the plan discussed before, he quickly displayed the Source Earth Domain and released the red bird on the Phoenix Green Paulownia.

As soon as the bird was released, a beam of black light suddenly burst out from the mountains in the distance.

Then, beams of light appeared one after another.

This change startled everyone for a moment, but they quickly regained their composure.

"Let's go to the thickest beam of light in the center!"

Lin Zhidao.

The others naturally agreed.

However, before they could take any action, the mountain beneath their feet suddenly began to shake.

Then an extremely huge python quickly emerged from below.

The top of the giant python's head was facing Lin Zhi and the others. Countless stones fell off its head, revealing a head covered with lumps of flesh.

Then it turned its head suddenly.

Everyone was surprised to find that this was not a python, but the head of a turtle!
The giant turtle looked at the red bird, then glanced at Lin Zhi and the others.

He spoke the Aboriginal language.

"The Fallen? No!"

Lin Zhi was thankful that he had acquired the indigenous language through the knowledge tree and the ability of the unknown halo, otherwise he would have no idea what the other party was saying.

But the three words "Fallen Clan" made him look a little nervous.

At this moment, golden light suddenly burst out from the giant turtle's eyes.

Then, Lin Zhi discovered that his transformed bird-beaked man's face was melting rapidly like a wax figure, revealing his original appearance.

"Oh no, we've been discovered, attack quickly!"

Next to Ji Wuming, a Saint Crown Realm gardener instantly unfolded the Source Earth Domain and summoned out a giant tree covered with black tumors.

What is shocking is that above this giant tree, there are circles of divine rings.

This gardener, whose cultivation level is suppressed to the Saint Crown Realm, actually has the Divine Ring as his actual cultivation level?
Before Lin Zhi and others could think about it, a gust of wind suddenly blew.

Lin Zhi looked up and saw that it was the turtle that opened its mouth and inhaled.

Then it spewed out a stream of water that made the soul tremble.

Ji Jia Shenhuan raised his hand, and a huge wall of flesh appeared in front of him to block the water column. The whole person flew into the air, throwing out a pool of pus.

The giant turtle tilted its head to avoid the pus. At that moment, the other Ji family guards opened up their soul land fields, unleashed the power of the divine ring, and swept up the peerless geniuses and gods' favorites beside them and fled in all directions.

The giant turtle reacted, stretched out its head, and another stream of water forced back Ji Wuming who was trying to grab Lin Zhi and leave.

The battle ended in an instant, and Lin Zhi quickly crushed the space beads, but...

This space flow bead is ineffective!

"Don't bother. This secret space is extremely solid. Even secret techniques like Leaping cannot be used, let alone Teleportation."

The giant turtle spoke in human language.

Yes, it is not an indigenous language, but a standard human language!
