Covering the Sky: Fairy, I really need to control you properly.

Xu Jinhuan was also somewhat bewildered at this moment.

He just wanted to test what possession was all about, so he plucked the thread, and as a result, Fairy Zixia's hand became unresponsive.

He hadn't expected the possession ability to be so sensitive.

And the feel of it, how should I put it, is quite wonderful.

He quickly shook his head (even though he didn't have a head) to get rid of these messy thoughts.

Now is not the time to think about this!

Zixia Fairy stared at the golden tree with a dangerous look in her eyes.

"What exactly are you?"

"First of all, I'm not a thing." Better to expose myself sooner rather than later, Xu Jinhuan paused, "No, I am a thing, but that's not quite right either..."

He carefully considered his words: "I am a tree."

Fairy Zixia: "I can tell you are a tree."

"I mean, I'm that kind of, well, very special tree." Xu Jinhuan tried to make his tone sound serious. "You can call me the Tree of All Heavens."

"The Tree of the Heavens?"

Zixia Fairy frowned slightly, searching through all the ancient books she had read in her mind, and confirmed that there was no record of this kind of tree.

"Never heard of it."

"Of course, I am unique."

"You can think of it as an opportunity, a tremendous opportunity, that just happened to fall into your sea of ​​suffering."

Fairy Zixia remained silent for a moment.

She recalled the feeling of her body being out of control just now; that feeling was very unpleasant.

"Why were you able to control my body just now?"

"Well……"

Xu Jinhuan said, "That was an accident, a real accident. I was just trying it out."

"You see, if I really wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have just moved a finger, right?"

Fairy Zixia did not respond.

She wondered, if this tree could really completely control her body, what state would she be in right now?

Being controlled to do strange things?

Thinking of this, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Those who cultivate the Tao should be most wary of having something uncontrollable within their bodies.

This golden tree took root in her sea of ​​suffering, its roots spreading deep into the spring of life, connecting with her cultivation, which was already a great taboo.

We have to get it out of here first, no matter what.

She took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, formed hand seals, and began to circulate her cultivation at the fifth level of the Dao Palace Secret Realm within her body.

Within the sea of ​​suffering, purple waves surged forth, the fountain of life gushed forth, and divine light shone in myriad rays. That divine power transformed into a giant purple hand, incredibly solid, reaching out to grab the golden tree.

As Xu Jinhuan was pondering how to appease the fairy, he suddenly felt a suction force coming towards him, and a large purple hand gripped his tree trunk and pulled him upwards.

Are they going to pull him out?

His heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively wanted to resist.

Then he discovered that he didn't need to resist.

The large purple hand gripped his tree trunk, but it couldn't budge it an inch.

Zixia Fairy frowned slightly, increased her strength, and gripped the purple hand even tighter, her divine power surging as if she wanted to overturn the entire sea of ​​suffering.

It still doesn't move.

Zixia Fairy gritted her teeth, and her purple hand shone brightly, illuminating the entire Sea of ​​Bitterness.

The golden tree remained motionless.

Not only that, Xu Jinhuan also felt that the roots seemed to be absorbing her divine power while also providing a little bit of comfort.

Very comfortable.

Want some more?

Fairy Zixia: "..."

She stopped what she was doing, staring at the golden tree, her eyes growing even colder.

Not only could it not be moved by divine power, but it even dared to transmit emotions, as if it disliked that the force was not enough.

As the scroll unfolds, rays of light and auspicious colors abound, encompassing mountains, rivers, the sun, the moon, and the stars.

The Purple Mansion Landscape Map is one of the most precious treasures of the Purple Mansion Holy Land. It has been refined by successive holy masters for many years and contains a small world within it, which has the power to seal and suppress.

Although Fairy Zixia is not the owner of this treasure, as the most outstanding disciple of Tian Shu Peak in this generation, the Holy Lord lent her this map for protection, and she can activate it in critical moments.

She made a hand seal, and the Purple Mansion Mountain and River Map shone brightly. She entered the Sea of ​​Bitterness, and the mountains, rivers, sun, and moon in the map seemed to come alive, pressing down on the golden tree.

Xu Jinhuan watched the scroll being pressed down, but he wasn't too nervous.

After all, even that divine power couldn't move him just now, so how powerful can this picture be?

Then he noticed that the scroll suddenly stopped when it came within three feet of him.

It just hung there in mid-air, completely still.

It's not that Fairy Zixia didn't want to move, it's that she couldn't.

She activated her magic, but the scroll seemed to be frozen in place, neither falling nor returning, just hanging there as if in fear.

It is afraid of the tree.

Fairy Zixia was stunned.

This tree, which is clearly rooted in her sea of ​​suffering, has a weak aura, and can even be described as peaceful. How could it make the Mountain and River Map fear it?

What's going on?

"I've already said, I'm an opportunity, not a scourge."

"Look, even your scroll acknowledges my work."

Fairy Zixia coldly replied, "It approves of you, but I don't."

"So what do you plan to do?" Xu Jinhuan asked. "You've already tried, you can't pull it out, and you can't seal it. Why don't you try going to the Holy Lord?"

Fairy Zixia fell silent.

The precious treasures refined by successive Holy Lords all showed fear upon seeing this tree. If the Holy Lord were to take action, it would most likely be to no avail.

Moreover, a tree inexplicably appeared inside her body, and this tree could control her body.

Even if I told you this, the Holy Lord might not believe it.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Xu Jinhuan sensed the softening in her tone and knew that she had temporarily accepted the fact.

"I don't want to do anything," he said. "Just consider this a chance encounter. My staying here won't do you any harm; in fact, it will be beneficial."

"What are the benefits?"

"I can help you cultivate."

"You? A tree?"

"It is the Tree of All Heavens," Xu Jinhuan corrected.

"We've taken root in your sea of ​​suffering; we're now a community of shared interests, like grasshoppers on the same rope."

"How can you help me?"

Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment and then pulled out the "Dao Fruit Condensation Progress" rewards he had seen before.

"I can help you by using artifacts related to the Emperor to communicate with their traces of the Dao."

Zixia Fairy's eyes flickered slightly.

Is it related to the emperor?

The Human Emperor—what an existence that is!

"Although I do not know what kind of being you are, do you truly understand the weight of the title 'Human Emperor'? Even if there were supreme emperor-level weapons and gods before you, they would not dare to speak lightly about communicating with the Dao traces they left behind."

"Of course it's true." Xu Jinhuan said earnestly, "But it will take time. I'll need you to do some things for me. Gradually, I'll be able to help you more."

Fairy Zixia stared at the golden tree for a long time.

The golden tree stands in her sea of ​​suffering, its entire body golden, its roots extending deep into the spring of life, and a faint golden light flowing between its branches and leaves.

It doesn't seem that scary.

"Does your Purple Mansion Holy Land have a black gourd?" Xu Jinhuan suddenly asked.

"How do you know about the black gourd of my Purple Mansion Holy Land?" Fairy Zixia asked.
