317 That is not the real world tree
Following the reminder from the giant whale tribe's clerk, the shuttle boat that was parked steadily on the ground floated up on the spot.
The formations engraved on the shuttle boat were activated one by one, emitting a faint but pure light that enveloped the entire shuttle boat.
The monks sitting in the shuttle boat clearly felt a formation lighting up under their seats, and a powerful force enveloped them, forming a powerful protection.
The shuttle points chosen by the major forces were only relatively safe. Unprecedented powerful tearing forces had appeared in these places without warning, tearing the entire shuttle boat into pieces.
In order to improve the survivability of the monks on board, this kind of emergency protection for individual monks will be installed on subsequent shuttle boats.
This can protect cultivators below the fusion stage to survive for a period of time in the force of space tearing. If they are lucky enough, they may be able to wait for rescue or drift to other places in the Tiancheng Spirit Realm.
If you are unlucky and your defensive power is exhausted and you can't think of a way to escape, then no one can do anything about it.
Various protective measures were activated one by one. After the giant whale monks confirmed that everything was safe, they controlled the shuttle boat to the junction of the front and back sides of the continent.
This shuttle boat can be regarded as a top-grade secret treasure. It can automatically avoid risks at intersections and choose the safest route.
The speed is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and the car makes many turns, which makes people feel dizzy and the riding experience is extremely bad.
Jiang Xin sat on an upholstered chair, tied up with a loose safety belt, and felt a little dazed by the shaking.
She yawned, hugged the warm golden crow feather pillow tightly, and whispered, "I'm so sleepy."
Chu Linfeng's mind was almost spinning out, and he asked in confusion: "How can you feel sleepy on such a rough road?"
Jiang Xin rubbed her eyes and felt a little strange: "Fifth Brother, I feel so tired."
[It feels like all the strength in my body has been drained away. Is it because I didn’t eat the big whale or the colorful snake? 】
[If I had known this, I would have tried harder.] 】
Lin Yan and the others looked at each other, thinking that this matter was weird.
Suddenly Zhao Shi exclaimed in surprise: "Junior brother, why did you fall asleep?"
Jiang Xiao, who was sitting next to him, had fallen asleep at some point and was sleeping so soundly that even the bumpy journey failed to wake him up.
[Then I’ll sleep too.] 】
Seeing Jiang Xiao fall asleep, Jiang Xin seemed to have unloaded her psychological burden. She fell onto Lin Yan, hugged the soft and warm Golden Crow feather pillow, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Lin Yan reached out to support her, frowning and saying, "This is not right..."
“Are they going to harm us?” Shen Muse asked warily.
He didn't mention any names, but everyone present knew that "they" referred to the giant whale tribe.
Wu Xin felt that it was not the case: "It shouldn't be. If they did something secretly, we should be the first to get into trouble, not Xin Xin and Jiang Xiao."
The magical powers of Jiang Xin and Jiang Xiao were even more mysterious, and the Tianshui sect master brothers were even more aware of Jiang Xiao's special identity as a demon lord in the Mahayana period.
Even if they really were in danger, these two little guys would be able to protect themselves and would not be the first to get into trouble.
Although this road is bumpy, such situations will indeed be encountered when traveling between the two worlds. I just don’t know whether the abnormal behavior of the two people now is related to their supernatural powers.
Everyone looked at each other, no one knew what was going on.
At the intersection where the light is brilliant due to the intersection of space, the shuttle boat covered with formations is like a comet, dragging a long tail of flames from the Dark Sea Islands through the clouds, and shuttling at high speed in the surging and crazy tearing force of the border.
A force invisible to ordinary people rose from Jiang Xiao's body, forming an unreal human figure at the junction of turbulent flow and bizarre light. It was the adult Demon Lord who appeared in Kunlun Palace last time!
Neither Ning Yao and others who were in the same room with Jiang Xiao, nor the giant whale clan's ship-guarding monks who had been closely observing the changes in the tearing force of the outside space noticed this.
The violent force of tearing space fell on the adult Jiang Xiao, like a breeze on his face, without causing any effect on him.
The man frowned slightly, and his eyes, as bright as stars, swept across the intersection of the space-tearing force, and he called out in a deep voice: "Mingchen."
After saying this, he looked around cautiously, fearing that another loud slap would hit him in the face.
However, nothing happened.
Jiang Xiao frowned, his voice getting deeper and deeper: "Your remaining power is everywhere here, I know you must have a backup plan. I don't have time to delay for too long, come out quickly!"
In the shuttle boat, Jiang Xin was leaning on Lin Yan, sleeping soundly on the Golden Crow down pillow. Suddenly, she uttered an unhappy mutter in her sleep, as if her sweet dream was disturbed.
"Junior sister?" Lin Yan called out tentatively and gently pushed Jiang Xin, "Get up and have some snacks."
"Hmm..." Jiang Xin made an unclear sound and seemed to be sleeping even more soundly.
Lin Yan placed the Bagua plate on the back of her hand, and the Qian Gua lit up silently and then went out quickly.
Outside the shuttle boat, at the border between the front and back sides of the continent, Demon Lord Jiang Xiao heard a vague female voice: "You are so noisy."
The sound seemed to come from a very far away and sounded a little distorted, like a child's mumbling.
But the complaints came through clearly.
Jiang Xiao was choked and wanted to refute but didn't know how to start.
He could tell that it was the voice of Immortal Master Mingchen, but there was an indescribable weirdness to it.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Xiao ignored the other party's dissatisfaction and asked directly: "When you reminded me to beware of the person behind the scenes, were you referring to the World Tree?"
The adult Jiang Xiao had no idea what his childhood self had experienced and could only vaguely perceive some important information.
After the last battle in Kunlun Palace, the adult Jiang Xiao knew that the World Tree was extraordinary, and had been wanting to find an opportunity to ask the Immortal Mingchen for clarification.
"That is not the real world tree. It's just a greedy ghost and a pitiful creature that absorbs vitality and spiritual energy everywhere." The voice of Immortal Master Mingchen came again, still too far away to be reached, and so illusory that it seemed like it would disappear at any time.
Jiang Xiao guessed that she was not in good condition, and hurried to ask the key points: "Then why does he appear in the form of the World Tree? What is his purpose? Does he want to suck all the vitality and spiritual energy of the spiritual world? Without spiritual energy, the worst that can happen to a cultivator is that he becomes a mortal. Without vitality, mortals cannot become mortals, and all living things will have only one way to go, and one way to die. What's the point of keeping such a dead world?"
Immortal Mingchen's childish voice floated from the void: "He wants to go home."
Why would you want to bring harm to other spirits if you want to go home?
Jiang Xiao asked: "Where is his home?"
Mingchen Immortal Venerable: "When he cultivated to the Mahayana stage, the first spiritual world that he sucked dry of all its spiritual energy and vitality was his home. He no longer has a home."
I destroyed my own home with my own hands, but I still want to go home.
Jiang Xiao found it ridiculous.
Recalling the many times the World Tree had invaded the Tiancheng Spirit World, Jiang Xiao suddenly had an absurd guess: "Could it be that he regards the Tiancheng Spirit World as his own home?"
The voice of Mingchen Immortal Venerable became increasingly illusory, but the words he spoke frightened Jiang Xiao: "After the vitality of the Demon Realm was sucked dry, the Tiancheng Spirit Realm was the last spirit realm left in the Star Realm, and it was the only spirit realm that could be his home."
"But he has no home anymore, and he will never have one again."
"His greedy nature will make him suck all the spiritual energy and vitality wherever he goes. Now his branches have not yet covered the entire Tiancheng Spirit Realm, purely because he was seriously injured last time. The body of the World Tree was shattered, making it impossible for him to swallow it by force."
Jiang Xiao slowly digested what she said, and the confusion in his heart increased instead of decreasing: "But you said he is not the World Tree."
Mingchen Immortal Venerable: "He devoured the original World Tree and gained the power of the World Tree."
Jiang Xiao was surprised.
The World Tree is such a huge existence. Even he, who is in the Mahayana stage, could not touch the World Tree until he was sealed by the Immortal Master Mingchen. How could this person actually devour the World Tree?
So how strong is he?
How strong must Mingchen be to be able to defeat him?
