Rong Xi understood what Yun Yuan meant: "Are you saying that there is a mother tree buried underground, and the forest of ten thousand trees is supported by it?"

"That's right." Yun Yuan said, "It's impossible for a forest in the wild to be completely free of weeds. This is most likely the case."

"If that's the case, then any tree below is a branch of the mother tree. We can follow the branches underground or dig a tunnel, and we'll definitely find the mother tree."

The Soul-Eating Birds in the inner area of ​​the Forest of Ten Thousand Trees were in groups, with powerful cultivation and were very difficult to deal with. The two thought there was no need to take such a risk and decided to return to the periphery and find a tree to test their idea.

After another half day, the two returned to the outskirts on a flying boat and were surprised to find that the disciples of Lingxu Palace were still there. In addition to them, there were many cultivators dressed in different styles around them.

There are demon cultivators with evil spirits, ghost cultivators who come and go without a trace, monster cultivators with animal ears and tails showing, and immortals who are as pure as the disciples of Lingxu Palace and have fluttering robes.

They each had their own camp, gathering in groups of three or four to discuss.

"Are you sure there are ancient secret treasures in the Forest of Ten Thousand Trees?"

"Soul Devouring Birds feed on spiritual energy. Tens of thousands of Soul Devouring Birds appeared in the Ten Thousand Trees Forest, and there are countless of them that have surpassed the level of Divine Transformation. It's hard not to believe that there's some secret."

"Although we can't be sure if there are any ancient secret treasures, with so many people gathered here, it won't be wrong for us to follow them."

This is herd mentality.

The people from the sects in the lower world tried every means to get close to the immortals, but the immortals were very arrogant and looked down on them and ignored them. There were also a few who had good tempers and would give them some advice.

The disciple headed by Lingxu Palace was one of them. Several elders dressed in the uniforms of the lower realm sects gathered around him, their eyes fanatical, and regarded his every word as a guiding principle.

"Su Rongxi is here, we meet again."

Yun Yuan withdrew her gaze and found a strange man standing in front of her.

He was wearing clothes made of white fur with some strange totem outlined in gold thread on the lapels. He was tall and straight.

"There is Su Que." Rong Xi looked at him coldly.

You Suque smiled and shook his head: "The lower realm really isn't working. It's been 500 years, and our You Su, the famous prodigy of heaven, hasn't ascended yet. I've been waiting for a long time."

The system was gloating over Rong Xi being ridiculed.

Rong Xi took a glance and saw that it was afraid of being beaten, so it quickly hid in Yun Yuan's space.

Yun Yuan rolled her eyes at You Su Que: "What are you waiting for? Waiting to go to hell?"

Rong Xi couldn't help but chuckle: "That's absolutely right, isn't it."

Su Que felt a surge of anger in his chest, and looked at Yun Yuan with threatening and malicious eyes.

"Is this the woman you found in the lower realm? She's quite pretty. When you die, I'll be kind enough to take her to the upper realm to be a fairy prostitute."

"You won't have this chance." Rong Xi punched You Suque in the face and taunted him, "You came here alone this time, right? Look, even if I'm not here, you can't become the young patriarch of You Su."

Su Que didn't expect that Rong Xi's cultivation was so much lower than his, but he was still as arrogant as before and attacked him without considering the consequences.

He was hit unexpectedly, his face was gloomy and his fists were clenched.

He did come alone, and his plot against You Su Rongxi was exposed, so he was driven out by the You Su clan.

The other three fox tribes, Qingqiu, Tushan and Chunhu, also did not accept him, so he was forced to become a wandering immortal without a sect or family.

He said viciously, "Just wait, my cultivation is higher than yours, and I have the divine decree, so I may be able to obtain godhood. When I become a god, you will regret it."

Rong Xi sneered and looked down on him. So what if he had a divine order? Would God really look down on a scum abandoned by his family?

Su Que's hands were gathering his immortal power, and he wanted to kill the two people opposite him with one blow.

Yun Yuan suddenly became agitated and shouted, "You stole our divine decree and now you're threatening us. Do you think you can bully us just because we're in trouble?"

She covered her face and cried, as if she had suffered great injustice, and ran away with Rong Xi.

Su Que wanted to chase after him, but was surrounded by the people around him.

"Boy, hand over the divine order!"

Su Que was so angry that he threw his sleeves. More and more people approached him with murderous eyes, casting all kinds of spells to capture him alive.

In the distance, Yun Yuan lowered the sleeves that were covering her face, and the corners of her mouth were crooked with a smile.

"We've plotted against him. While everyone's attention is on the divine decree, let's quickly find a way to find the mother tree."

"Okay." Rong Xi looked at her lovingly, feeling warm in his heart.

He will settle the score with Su Que sooner or later, but the most important thing now is to find Yuandan and the branches of the Chaos Tree. There is no rush for revenge.

The two found an uninhabited place and cast a spell to escape underground. However, they had no idea what the soil inside was made of, and they could not go any deeper until they reached two meters underground.

Rong Xi used the Star Sword Technique and brought down a mighty sword strike. The soil on both sides broke apart, but the soil in the middle remained motionless, and sparks flew from the friction with the sword.

The two men squatted down to study the soil: "It seems that burrowing underground and digging are not feasible."

The disciple headed by Lingxu Palace saw that the two seemed to be testing something and walked over.

"My two immortal friends, is there anything wrong with this place?"

Rong Xi and Yun Yuan looked at each other and stood up.

"We can't escape into this place, and we want to know why."

The disciples of Lingxu Palace came over to observe the long sword mark on the ground.

"Indeed, there is something blocking it from below."

"Is there something buried underground? Could it be related to the treasure guarded by the Soul-Devouring Bird?"

"Let's try the treasure compass."

The disciple of Lingxu Palace took out the treasure-hunting compass and shook his head.

"The compass still points to the center of the forest. Perhaps there's a layer of hard rock in the ground that's blocking the sword's force. There's no trace of the treasure."

While their attention was on the compass, Yun Yuan pulled Rong Xi and ran away quietly. When passing by the "Forest of Ten Thousand Trees" stone tablet, she suddenly had an idea.

"I have a feeling that the key to entering the Mother Tree is this stone tablet."

Rong Xi was stunned. Thinking of Yun Yuan's mysterious intuition about the treasure, he had no doubt at all and scanned it carefully with his spiritual sense.

"The stone tablet is made of a material that blocks spiritual sense. My spiritual sense can't penetrate it, so I can't see anything."

The two men squatted down again and looked at the stone tablet over and over again.

Rong Xi said: "If spiritual awareness doesn't work, we can try spiritual power."

After saying that, he input spiritual power. The purple thunder spiritual power, white ice spiritual power, and green wood spiritual power could all be absorbed by the stone tablet, but there was no sign of any change on the stone tablet.

Yun Yuan said, "Let me try too."

She tried every kind of spiritual power, but the spiritual power injected into the stone tablet was like a stone sinking into the sea, and no trace could be found.

Rong Xi said, "There's a reaction. Look, the crack in the middle of the stone tablet has gotten a little smaller."

"Smaller?" Yun Yuan tentatively input spiritual power again. Sure enough, the crack closed little by little at an extremely slow speed, perhaps only one millimeter, which could not be noticed without careful observation.

"So you're here."

Yun Yuan and Rong Xi looked up and saw the familiar disciples of Lingxu Palace, and their lips twitched together.
