365 I became bolder after following Jiang Xin
The seal was lifted, and the space where Qiongqi was located slowly collapsed.
When Jiang Xin withdrew his power, he was taken out with him.
Colorful light overflowed from Ning Yao's heart and slowly gathered into a tall figure beside him.
The aura of a Tribulation Crossing Stage emanated from the light. Even though they sensed that the other party did not dare to have any ill intentions, the Second Elder and the others instinctively became alert.
When the light completely faded away, a handsome and slightly wild young man stood there. This was the human form of Qiongqi's true form.
Chu Linfeng was very surprised and whispered to Zhao Shi, "So young? I thought he was an old grandfather."
Zhao Shi looked at him silently without saying anything, but the surprise in his eyes expressed the same surprise.
Only Jiang Xin was not surprised at all.
[After all, in the original text, Qiongqi became Xing Shuyi's fish, so how could he be an old grandfather? 】
[He just has a bad temper, and you can tell from his voice that he is a young cat. 】
[Fifth Brother, your preconceived notions are too deep, so you didn’t recognize it, right? 】
The appearance of Qiongqi is just a small episode. As long as the cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage is willing, it is not a problem to change directly from a man to a woman, or from a woman to a man.
The Second Elder carefully looked at Qiongqi and saw him standing there without saying a word, with a solemn expression and cold sweat on his forehead. He thought that he must have discovered something extraordinary: "Senior, do you remember anything?"
In order to get the conversation going, she even used a little bit of her charm without leaving any trace.
Not sure if it was due to this or he came back to his senses, Qiongqi looked at Jiang Xin: "My seal..."
He seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he was afraid of something.
Jiang Xin said softly, "You made the seal yourself. When I was dismantling the formation just now, I sensed your demonic power at the core of the formation."
Only the one who sets up the formation can leave his aura in the core of the formation.
Everyone was surprised.
"Why did you seal yourself, senior? Moreover, how come you don't even remember your own seal?" Ning Yao looked at Qiongqi and then at Jiang Xin.
Qiongqi stood there without saying a word, as if he had not yet come to his senses.
Jiang Xin shook her head: "I don't know why, I just know that this seal is very powerful. It can not only seal his body and soul, but also his memory."
The strange amnesia that Qiongqi showed during this period of time confused everyone, and taking advantage of the seal being unlocked now, Shen Muse subconsciously asked, “Did the senior remember anything?”
After asking, he saw Lin Yan trying to stop him, and then he realized that even the memories of the Tribulation Period had to be sealed, so he shouldn't ask.
The others had all thought of this and no one dared to ask further questions.
The cave was eerily quiet again, with only the crackling sound of the fire burning dry wood.
Qiongqi took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Xin and said, "The incident I deliberately forgot was related to the 'World Tree' - or the Devourer."
If it were in the past, he would never dare to say it.
Now that he has seen Jiang Xin beat up the Devourer many times, he has become a lot bolder.
Amid the surprise and curiosity of the crowd, Qiongqi slowly said: "The broken Mayfly Stone under the Mayfly Palace is very strange, because it is Fenghen's backhand for resurrection. If outsiders get close to the Mayfly Stone, it will trigger the protective measures he left behind."
"When I arrived, all the protective measures had been triggered, and only some of the power remained in place."
"Even if it was only a portion of the power, it was still at the level of the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Judging from the strength of the remaining power at that time, even cultivators at the Fusion Stage would not be able to get close."
"I relied on the fact that I was in the Tribulation Crossing Stage and was not afraid of Feng Hen's remaining strength. I took away a piece of the Mayfly Stone fragment."
Having said this, he paused with a bitter look on his face.
Ana Shen didn’t understand: “What does this have to do with the Devourer? Did he kill Feng Hen?”
"It must be related to him, but not all of it was done by him personally." Qiongqi said.
The Second Elder was acutely aware that something was wrong: "Do you suspect that someone teamed up with the Devourer to kill Fenghen?"
Qiongqi nodded and looked down at his hand: "I took the Mayfly Stone because I wanted to know who killed Fenghen, but I unexpectedly saw some of Fenghen's memories in it." At this point, he looked at Jiang Xin deeply, "The only memory is the branch of the World Tree."
"Is this the one you promised to give me?" Jiang Xin asked.
Qiongqi nodded awkwardly, and took the initiative to explain before Jiang Xin asked further: "I only saw its existence, and I don't know where it is. But I am sure it must be in the Tiancheng Spirit Realm."
Chu Linfeng expressed his doubt: "You don't even know its exact location, how can you be sure it is in the Tiancheng Spirit Realm?"
"I learned about the existence of this branch from Feng Hen's memory. This memory is engraved with Feng Hen's strong personal emotions. He tried desperately to keep this branch in the Tiancheng spiritual world, and he succeeded." Qiongqi said.
The second elder was puzzled: "Why did Fenghen leave this thing? Master said that after these branches are cut off from the main body, it is difficult for them to survive in the Tiancheng Spirit World. It is also easy for the main body to find them by using the connection between the branches. No matter how you look at it, it is better to destroy it, right?"
"Perhaps he thinks this is a rare and valuable material and wants to keep it for refining weapons?" The Sixth Elder guessed casually and asked the Fifth Elder, a weapon refiner, for his opinion.
The fifth elder thought that this was unlikely. "Feng Hen has lived in seclusion in a corner for many years, leading a semi-secluded life. This shows that he is not a greedy person. He should know the hidden dangers brought by the branches of the World Tree better than us. He would not take such a big risk just to preserve a material that we don't know if it can be successfully used for refining equipment."
In case the crowd didn't understand, the Fifth Elder added, "Based on Master's experience fighting the World Tree, this thing's realm is higher than the Tribulation Crossing Stage. The highest-level weapon cultivator in the Tiancheng Spirit Realm is only at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and may not be able to refine this branch."
Jiang Xin nodded repeatedly.
[Yes, yes, the most powerful weapon cultivator in the Tiancheng Spirit Realm who has crossed the Tribulation Period is the Grand Elder of the Jinsheng Sect, and he can’t even handle this thing. 】
[In the original text, in order to refine this branch into her own magic weapon, Xing Shuyi tricked this unlucky elder into refining a magic weapon for her, but in fact she was sacrificing him. 】
[It was only after Xing Shuyi gained the approval of the Devourer that she was able to successfully refine this branch into a weapon. 】
Everyone was frightened when they heard her mumbling.
Fortunately, Xing Shuyi died, otherwise who knows how many people would have been harmed.
Especially the three elders, who had occasionally heard Jiang Xin's inner thoughts before, thought that the child was just talking normally and did not take it to heart.
After listening to Jiang Xin mumbling this long string of words, I realized that she didn't open her mouth.
The three sisters and brothers looked at each other, and at the same time guessed that what they heard was the voice of their little niece, and they were surprised and astonished.
The three of them exchanged glances and tacitly did not mention the matter, and turned their attention back to the main business: "Feng Hen tried his best to keep this branch, he must have his own intentions. Senior does not know the specific whereabouts of the branch, so do you know under what circumstances Feng Hen saw this branch?"
