Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1057 Divine Tree
【The Sea of ​​the Netherworld Trees】.

Lu Yang and Taihao Zhenjun stood in the air. Taihao Zhenjun, dressed in a palace dress, made a hand seal with one hand and gently touched the sea of ​​trees below with his slender fingers.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the originally dark sea of ​​trees came to life, almost turning into a black ocean. Countless plants collapsed in the direction pointed by True Lord Taihao's fingertip, carrying strong mud and pulling imagery. Even the invisible void and light seemed to be swallowed up by the sea of ​​trees.

A moment later, the sea of ​​trees disappeared.

Only a pitch-black tree seed remained, rising slowly from the earth before gently falling into the palm of True Lord Taihao, causing a moment of desolation to grace her beautiful face.

"This is what Master left behind."

"Master devoted his entire life to this [Taihao Divine Tree]. Unfortunately, he did not complete the work back then, otherwise it would have been a completely different story."

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang, who was already determined to obtain the Taihao Sect's lineage, immediately asked curiously, "Why do you say that? Is there some other mystery to this tree species?"

At this point, True Monarch Taihao suppressed his grief and smiled proudly: "Senior, you may not know this, but although my master is not among the twelve disciples, he is still a rare great cultivator in the Dharma Body Path, with extraordinary wisdom. Otherwise, he would not have been able to find another path and establish the lineage of my Taihao lineage."

Even after becoming an undead, Master did not give up.

"This [Taihao Divine Tree] is Master's attempt. Master watered it with his own blood and sweat and planted it in the Netherworld. He had the ambition to seize the power of creation."

"Seize the Creation"

Lu Yang's eyes brightened slightly: "Is it because the root system of this spiritual plant is mysterious, capable of encroaching on the power of the soil? Planting it in the Underworld, is it trying to steal the power of the Underworld?"

Upon hearing this, Taihao Zhenjun looked at Lü Yang in surprise, then nodded: "Senior is indeed wise and unassuming, able to see through it at a glance. Back then, my master patiently explained it to me several times before I could barely understand the working principle."

"Unfortunately"

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of sadness returned to Taihao Zhenjun's face: "The soil of the Underworld is too strong. Even with all my efforts, Master could not make the divine tree grow."

"It's probably due to insufficient materials."

Lu Yang shook his head: "Back then, Fellow Daoist Mingluo probably didn't have any resources that were compatible with the Wood element, so he could only use his own Dharma body and blood to cultivate it."

Admittedly, the Dharma Body Dao Great True Lord's hard work is definitely top-grade among resources, but in the end it is still the Dharma Body Dao, and has nothing to do with the Wood element. It can only be said that the nutrition is sufficient, but the path is wrong. And if the path is wrong, no matter how much nutrition there is, it is a waste. Naturally, the cultivation will be twice as difficult and half as effective.

“What you say is very true, senior.”

Taihao Zhenjun sighed softly: "Until the very end, before my master died, he sacrificed himself, which allowed the Taihao Divine Tree to transform into a small sea of ​​trees."

The next second, she reached out her hand.

She then presented the Taihao Divine Tree, which had been transformed back into a seed, to Lü Yang.

"This sacred tree contains the entire heritage of my Taihao Sect. If you are so kind as to do so, would you be willing to keep it safe for me for the time being? I would be extremely grateful."

The art of language.

Taihao Zhenjun was not a fool. Even in ancient times, while it was not uncommon for people to help those in need, it was certainly not a rare occurrence.

She could tell that Lü Yang had something in mind.

In addition, although Lü Yang saved him, he also bound him to Lü Yang, and he would need to rely on him in many ways in the future.

Since that's the case, then we should try even harder to please them.

Of all her belongings, only this [Taihao Divine Wood] is of the greatest value, not to mention that it also contains the lineage and inheritance of the Taihao Sect.

"The underworld is now a precarious place, and although I escaped this time, I may not be able to escape a second time. This inheritance, while giving me more skills, will be severed once I die. How can I face my master then?" "Why not give it to this senior?"

'At least there's something to hold onto. Whatever his motives, as long as the Taihao Sect's lineage is preserved, there will always be a day when the clouds part and the sun shines through.'

Upon realizing this, Taihao Zhenjun's expression became even more sincere.

This was exactly what Lü Yang wanted to do, so he only pretended to hesitate for a moment before calmly reaching out and putting the divine tree seed into his sleeve.

"Then I would be disrespectful."

Immediately afterwards, Lü Yang waved his hand again, and the Immaculate Bodhisattva, the former Grand Tutor, and the True Lord of Creation and Response fell out of his sleeve one after another.

“Compared to me, you and the other three are old acquaintances and should be quite familiar with each other. In that case, I will leave the interrogation to you. I want to know how many Great True Lords there are in the Underworld using the Cave Heaven Technique, their levels, their Daoist titles, their mysteries, and their respective specialties.”

"Junior understands."

As soon as he finished speaking, Taihao Zhenjun, with a hint of vengeful pleasure, dragged the three Zhenjun prisoners away into the distance. Lu Yang looked on with a strange expression.

“Even a True Lord is a human being. Once you shed that skin, you are still just a human being.”

'I never imagined I'd reach this level.'

The once high and mighty True Lord is now no different from a chick to him, someone he can knead at will, which makes him feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi - mixed feelings of emotion and reflection).

Damn, this fishpond game is so much fun.

We still have to dominate the weaker opponents!
Compared to this, what kind of life am I living in the real world? I'm constantly hiding, moving from place to place in prison, and I don't even dare to show the slightest bit of my energy.

Now that we're in the underworld, we can finally roll up our sleeves and get to work.

Although it is conceivable that there are many Great True Lords in the Underworld, whose strength is much greater than that of the mortal world, it is already a blessing from heaven that there is no Dao Lord watching over them.

After sighing, Lü Yang lowered his eyelids.

He held the divine tree seed offered by True Lord Taihao between his fingertips, examining it carefully. After a moment, a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face.
"This is an unexpected gain. Besides the special lineage of Taihao Sect, which uses the Dharma Body to nurture spiritual plants, the tree species itself is also a good thing. Mingluo can't cultivate this, but I can't. After all, when it comes to resources, what can compare to the imagery of the [Great Forest Tree]?"

In an instant, Lü Yang made his decision.

"To date, each of my four treasures has a remarkable provenance, and the materials used are almost all top-notch; they either have a good foundation or a powerful background."

"The predecessor of the Righteous Path Banner was the Myriad Spirits Banner, and the predecessor of the Tribulation Wave was forged by [Angxiao] through my hands."

"Huang Ting even used my [Heavenly Fire] Grotto-Heaven as a base, not to mention the Dragon-Dispelling Ruler, I even stripped the old Dragon Lord's corpse clean."

'I was worried because I didn't have suitable materials for the last true treasure, but now I don't have to worry about that anymore. Using this divine wood seed as the material, the final [Great Forest Wood] true treasure I refine will definitely be of the highest quality, and it might even be able to complete the unfinished business of Mingluo.'

Stealing from the creations of the underworld!

Generally speaking, there's an awkward period after attaining enlightenment through emptiness: the newly attained state is considered an external path, and there will be a period of weakness.

However, if one possesses the power of the underworld, then things are different.

'Like the [Long Flowing Water], if I could first seize a large amount of Netherworld power, and then directly pour it into the formed Void Realm fruition after the Void Realm is established.'

It will surely be able to skip the weak period of attaining the fruition of emptiness!
This one condition alone made it impossible for Lü Yang to refuse. Although [Long Flowing Water] could do something similar, the Underworld was definitely much better than the Fruit Position.

So there's only one problem left.

"Whether this divine tree can be cultivated depends not only on resources, but also on the location. What place is most suitable for its growth and its ability to devour the creation of the underworld?"
