Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 312 The Azure Tree King
I almost forgot that there are already conflicts between different dimensions.

Soon after, teleported by Kun Youniang's spider silk, they traversed thousands of miles across the insect realm and arrived at the area where the insect realm and the green desert dimension merged.

Just like the dimensional rift in the human world.

However, the dimensional rift in front of them is a passage through which the insect world and the green desert invade each other.

"By the way, how dangerous is the green desert area on the other side?" Wu Xian asked curiously, standing near the dimensional rift.

"It's alright," Kun Youniang said. "We attacked several times in conjunction with the surrounding great demons before, and they were much more subdued afterward. Now that the Heavenly Green Tree King has become a god, he will inevitably start to act up again."

With the Azure Tree King around, the Insect Realm definitely won't dare to attack; at most, they'll just defend here.

It's quite frustrating to see conflicts between different dimensions.

At least for now, the insectoid world is at a clear disadvantage.

"Speaking of which, do you have any great demons in your insect realm who are about to attain enlightenment?" Wu Xian couldn't help but ask curiously.

"There should be... right?" Kun You Niang wasn't too sure either.

Wu Xian didn't say anything more and prepared to step into the green desert to explore and test the waters. "Please wait patiently, Second Sister-in-law. I'll be right back."

"How about I go with you?" Kun Youniang hesitated. "If something happens, it will be hard to explain to my beloved concubine."

"But……"

"As long as I try my best not to interfere or act recklessly, the Azure Tree King shouldn't make things difficult for me," Kun You Niang pondered.

And so, the human and the demon, the sister-in-law and brother-in-law, stepped into the green desert together.

Space twisted, and they appeared in a dark and endless dense forest.

The green desert is called a green desert because it is dominated by plants, making it difficult for other animals to survive.

“It’s really different with a true god in charge,” Kun You Niang said, looking around with admiration. “The scent of plants and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth are much stronger than before.”

Wu Xian was pondering: such a plant-dominated world should be a good place for laurel trees to live, right?

However, due to the presence of the Azure Tree King, he dared not act recklessly.

After a brief exploration, no plant-type monsters were encountered. This might be because of Kun Youniang, which is why low-level plant-type monsters are hesitant to show themselves.

But Wu Xian had already sensed the danger and terror of the green desert.

In the dense, dark forest, all kinds of grasses and trees grow in abundance, completely obscuring the ground. All the plants seem to be devouring and absorbing the life force of other creatures, turning it into their nutrients.

Wu Xian and Kun You Niang were no exception.

From the moment they stepped into the green desert, they had to use their spiritual energy to protect themselves and fight against this power.

The Pleiades Star Lord and the Winged Mars Star Lord stood to Wu Xian's left and right, like guardian deities.

With his own personal God of Wealth guarding him, he felt completely at ease.

"Strange, how well do plant-type monsters hide themselves?" Wu Xian asked curiously.

"Hidden?" Kun Youniang teased, "Aren't these all plant-based monsters?"

"Huh?" Wu Xian was startled.

So, all you can see are plant-based monsters, right?

"Are plant-type monsters really this gentle?" Wu Xian wondered to himself.

While otherworldly monsters were charging upwards in swarms, the green desert remained peaceful.

“It is a bit strange,” Kun Youniang pondered. “At least in my memory, they are not so well-behaved. They should all be enjoying the blessings of the Azure Tree King and have no time to pay attention to us.”

"Ok."

"What exactly are you looking for here?" Kun Youniang asked.

"I don't have any specific goal. I just came to explore and experience the atmosphere of this plant-based otherworld," Wu Xian said with a smile. "And maybe collect some spiritual herbs and medicines along the way."

As he spoke, his innate [Wealth and Prosperity] ability already sensed something. Stepping on the laurel tree, he traversed the dense forest and quickly found several high-quality spiritual herbs.

"So fast?" Kun Youniang exclaimed in surprise. "How did you detect these spiritual herbs? How come I couldn't?"

"Feel."

Wu Xian gave a casual remark and continued his sensory search.

Time passed slowly, and the spiritual herbs and medicines in the Qiankun bag increased more and more. It felt like picking up money, and it was incredibly satisfying.

Throughout the entire process, there were no plant-based monsters to hinder them, nor were there any dangers.

This made Kun Youniang realize that something was wrong. "That can't be right. They couldn't all be asleep, could they?"

In the past, when the insectoid monsters came looking for medicinal herbs and elixirs, it would easily alert the plant-type monsters.

But along the way, the plant-type monsters turned a blind eye to them and completely ignored them.

Along the way, she vaguely sensed the auras of several powerful plant-type demons. Logically, they should have been able to sense her aura as well.

"Something's not right. We'd better leave as soon as possible."

Kun Youniang had a vague sense of unease.

Wu Xian wasn't stupid; he naturally understood that this situation was abnormal.

Unfortunately, it was too late, or rather, they had already been noticed the moment they stepped into the green desert.

Sure enough, just as the two were about to leave, a powerful surge of spiritual energy from plants and trees, along with the might of heaven and earth, came from all directions.

Above, completely obscured by branches and leaves, a sacred emerald green light shone. A handsome man in his thirties appeared out of thin air in front of the two, dressed in a magnificent dark green robe. His face was gentle and peaceful as he looked at them with great interest.

"Is this the aura of a true god?" Kun Youniang's face turned deathly pale, and her voice trembled uncontrollably. "Junior Kun Youniang greets Senior Azure Tree King."

Wu Xian was also overwhelmed by the aura of that true god and could hardly breathe.

Even though the other party meant no harm, it still gave him a chill down his spine.

He just couldn't understand why the Azure Tree King would notice them.

Logically speaking, having just successfully attained enlightenment, he should have many things to do.

Curious, they glanced at the Azure Tree King, and following its gaze, their eyes inadvertently fell on the laurel branch at their feet.

My mind went blank for a moment.

I was careless, so careless! I planned everything perfectly, but I overlooked the laurel branch.

It now appears that the Azure Tree King sensed it the moment he released his natal flying sword, the Laurel Branch.

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm." The Azure Tree King's voice was both majestic and gentle.

His gaze lingered on Wu Xian and Kun You Niang, seemingly finding their pairing odd.

Of course, what really caught his attention was the flying sword beneath Wu Xian's feet.

"What instructions does the True God have?" Kun Youniang asked nervously.

“I’m not interested in you, little spider. Hmm~ you seem to have a trace of that spiritual root’s aura on you,” the Azure Tree King’s eyes flickered slightly as he frowned and confirmed, “You’ve eaten it?”

Kun Youniang was taken aback at first, then quickly understood and nodded awkwardly.

"Such a heaven-defying spiritual root, and you're actually willing to share it with the demon race," the Azure Tree King squinted at Wu Xian, "You little scroll painter have quite a grand vision!"

Wu Xian tried his best to remain calm. "Is the True God Senior interested in my spiritual artifact?"

The Azure Tree King remained noncommittal. "You little human seem to have a special connection with my plant race. But don't worry, since it was conceived by your divine soul, I naturally can't take it away."

I simply wanted to have a discussion with you.
