Chapter 362 Jianmu
The meeting to divide up the resources of Bei'e Mountain finally ended perfectly after it was divided into four parts.
The Mohist School occupied 120 mineral resources and 10 strongholds in the northern border; the Huajian School seized 50 strongholds in the northern border and 50 mineral resources; the Crusade Alliance obtained the entire Bei'em Mountain and 70 mineral resources; what the Snow Region wanted was very strange, they did not want the northern border's territory and mineral resources, but chose the northern border's wealth, spirit stones and half of the magic weapons to belong to the Snow Region, and the remaining magic weapons were divided equally among the three sects.
The people who originally wanted to attack the alliance disagreed with all the wealth and spiritual stones. As a large sect with hundreds of years of history, the spiritual stone reserves and rare treasures accumulated were countless. How could they not be jealous of such huge wealth? However, Dongqi glanced at them coldly and immediately stopped fighting. Dongqi's eyes were too scary, as if he would die the next moment if he didn't agree. In the end, in order to avoid being envied, Mo Zixuan divided half of the magic weapons among the three sects, which made others feel more balanced and directly increased their favorability towards Xueyu. Of course, this was excluding the Huajian Sect.
The conference ended perfectly, and the four groups returned. Mo Zixuan declined the offer to go with the Mo family and left alone.
However, halfway through, a very powerful enemy appeared, Yuan Hao!
Yuan Hao is Liu Shang's subordinate, and his skills are in no way inferior to Liu Shang's other subordinate, Xue Ren!
Yuan Hao's target was naturally Mo Zixuan. His figure was ethereal and he charged forward. Although he saw that there were two people protecting Mo Zixuan, he was confident in himself and still rushed towards Mo Zixuan. Unfortunately, he didn't know much about the Snow Region and didn't know the strength of Canglan and Dongqi. As soon as he made a move, Canglan had already sensed it and flew forward to block in front of Mo Zixuan, eliminating Yuan Hao's first move. Then Dongqi swooped forward and wrapped around Yuan Hao's arms, licking his lips with his bloody red tongue. This was his habitual action when he was hungry and thirsty. He wanted to kill the prey in front of him!
There was no suspense at all. With two super powerful men, Canglan and Dongqi, in charge, Yuan Hao had no room to perform at all.
His cold face finally showed a slight fluctuation, which had never happened before. In the end, Yuan Hao consumed a lot of blood and energy, used his blood shield to break through the air and left in a miserable defeat.
Dongqi jumped up and tried to chase after him, but was stopped by Canglan.
"Why not chase?" Dongqi was very confused.
"There's something fishy about this matter." Mo Zixuan frowned and said, "I have a bad feeling, so it's better not to get involved with him too much."
Canglan nodded, "I also think the matter is not simple. I have seen this man before. When Kong Hai Qianfu was in Zimu Liuhua Territory, he was one of Liushang's men. Killing him might cause big trouble."
"Liushang? What's so scary? I'll kill one if you come, and I'll kill a pair if you come!" Dongqi snorted coldly, and murderous intent filled the air. After absorbing Dongqi's snake clone, Dongqi's power surged, and he was eager to fight like crazy.
Canglan glared at him, "Of course you are not afraid, but don't involve others. We can escape, but what about Zixuan and the others? Where can we escape?"
Dongqi was speechless.
"If you are not afraid of Shi Yan's reproach when he comes back, or if you are not afraid of being condemned by your conscience, then go ahead. I will protect Xue Yu and leave the Northern Territory alone!"
Dong Qi smiled bitterly, "You're right. Okay, I'll exercise some restraint. However, it's a bit ridiculous that I, a peerless beast, would give up what I love just to avoid the condemnation of my conscience... When did I have a conscience?"
Canglan smiled slightly, "Since you met Shi Yan, you have had a conscience."
Dongqi was stunned for a moment, silent for a while, sneered, "How is that possible?" and then left as if escaping.
"Hehe, Dongqi is quite cute." Mo Zixuan said with a giggle. This was the first time that Mo Zixuan smiled from the heart recently, and it looked very kind.
On a hillside ten miles away, Yuan Hao appeared covered in blood.
After performing the Blood Escape, Yuan Hao's strength was less than 30% of what it used to be. Coupled with the fight with Dong Qi, he was now only less than one level strong. Moreover, his physical condition was very poor, his breath was weak, and it seemed as if he would die at any time.
At this moment, a person was walking towards them from a distance. Yuan Hao's nerves suddenly tensed up, but when he saw the person's appearance clearly, he relaxed his vigilance.
"The two people beside her are very strong, very strong!" Yuan Hao said two very strong words in a row, thought for a while, and said, "They are very likely the two people who killed the two elders Yin and Yang!" After saying this, he was already out of breath.
Ni Hong came to Yuan Hao with a smile, holding a small red umbrella. She slowly squatted down, holding the umbrella for him with one hand, and took out a white silk scarf with floral patterns from her bosom with the other hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. "I understand. I will use the information you exchanged for your life to the best effect. Now, you should have a good rest."
Yuan Hao's eyes suddenly widened, as if the door of life had opened wide, and the breath of life continued to slip out, until there was not a trace left.
Yuan Hao's eyes had lost their vitality, but his face still retained the surprised expression of his last moment of life.
Ni Hong seemed to have done nothing, still holding the umbrella and wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. When the floral white silk scarf was stained with blood, Ni Hong stopped, stood up, and let go of her hand. The blood-stained silk scarf floated down and covered Yuan Hao's pale face without blood and life.
"I will remember your kindness in my heart, so please go in peace." Ni Hong turned and left, leaving behind these words.
Shi Yan's team finally left the ninth floor and headed towards the Three Realms.
The road ahead is endless, and I don't know where the end is. The closer I get to the Three Realms, the more I can feel the danger, the danger from the great beings.
This sense of danger is deeply buried in my bones. From childhood to adulthood, the terror of the creatures of the Tao has already penetrated into every corner.
On this day, they arrived at the eighth level, a world full of giant trees. The giant trees here were hundreds of feet tall, and each one was so thick that ten people could hug it. The smallest tree here was estimated to be larger than the plant that was split from the millipede, and more than twice as large.
The further we went, the bigger the trees became, ranging from trees that required twenty people to hug together to trees that required fifty people to hug together, and it seemed that there were even thicker ones out there.
This is like a world of giant trees.
Continuing to walk forward, we found that in the center, there was a sacred tree standing on the ground, with the sky above its head, and there was no end in sight.
This big tree is obviously the king of trees here!
"This is Jianmu!" Yunluo was the first to recognize the origin of this tree and shouted in surprise, "It is recorded in the time that this is the sacred tree Jianshu, also known as the World Tree, and is the ancestor of trees!"
"Is this the World Tree? No, the World Tree is a sacred tree that contains the world. It is a holy tree located in the center of heaven and earth. Legend has it that Jianmu is a bridge connecting heaven, earth, humans and gods. The ancient sages all traveled up and down between the human world and heaven through this sacred ladder. Jianmu is very huge. There is a saying that under Jianmu, there is no shadow in the sun, no sound when you shout, and it covers the whole world. Although this tree is big, it is far from that level, right?" Shi Yan asked, "Besides, it is said that Jianmu is located in the center of the Three Realms. How could it appear here?"
“Oh, just believe me. How could I, the all-knowing leader of the Yunluo clan, not know about this?” The little fairy Yunluo put his hands on his hips and shouted in a shrill voice that hurt people’s eardrums. “This is a Jianmu tree, for sure, but it is a Jianmu tree that has not grown yet. It can be said to be a small Jianmu tree. There are records in the history of our little fairy clan that our ancestors once planted the seedling of the sacred tree Jianmu here. This is it without a doubt!”
"Maybe it is true!" Mo Zixie looked at it for a while and agreed: "Jianmu is a sacred tree. Its wood is the best wood in the world. Our ancestors have always wanted to use its wood to make puppets, but they have never been able to do so. So they recorded it in Mozi. We will find out if it is true after checking it out."
Shi Yan took out "Mozi". When Yun Luo saw "Mozi", his eyes suddenly lit up, and negative emotions such as greed and jealousy immediately flooded into his mind.
Shi Yan gave him a cold look, and he immediately trembled all over, not daring to look at "Mozi" again.
Mo Zixie opened "Mozi" with trembling hands and then looked it up.
"It's him. Although it's not as huge as recorded in the records, it is indeed Jianmu. What the little thing said is true. This is a young Jianmu!" Mo Zixie shouted excitedly.
"It's really Jianmu!" Shi Yan was a little surprised.
"That's right!" Mo Zixie flew forward excitedly and touched Jianmu.
"It's really Jianmu, haha, we must be the first group of Mo family members to see Jianmu!"
"Go back and tell them, they will be so jealous!"
The Mohist disciples swarmed forward and pounced on Jianmu, feeling its unique aura.
Mo Buyong was even more disgusting. He kissed Jianmu desperately, as if he was his lover whom he had been separated from for a long time.
Shi Yan also walked forward and touched Jianmu. His palm touched the tree trunk, as if he could feel its majestic breath of life rushing towards him. A feeling told him that this was the breath of Jianmu.
"Ugly... No, master, I think we can cut some branches of Jianmu and use them for research and development." Yun Luo came to Shi Yan and said.
Shi Yan finally realized that it would be a pity not to use such good materials. With a wave of his hand, he released all 50,000 small demons and shouted, "Cut off as many branches as possible!"
Fifty thousand little demons may seem like a lot, but when they are scattered over Jianmu, they are pitifully small.
It takes ten thousand little demons to cut even the smallest branch. Fifty thousand little demons, to be honest, are still too few.
So, Shi Yan directly ordered to set up camp here and prepare for a protracted battle.
At the same time, the cut branches were placed aside, and some were taken out for the long-awaited Mo Zixie to make puppets.
Mo Zixie went to the five thousand little demon tribes and all the Mohist disciples, moved a medium-sized Jianmu branch, and started tinkering with it, as if he was going to make something big.
After a month of hard work, Shi Yan finally collected enough Jianmu branches and piled them in the space inside the Tibetan shrine, forming a huge mountain.
And the thing that Mo Zixie was tinkering with gradually revealed its appearance.
