Chapter 257: The Sacred Tree
After returning to Qianjing, Curtis asked the question in his mind: "Your Majesty, why did Mor and the Hades cooperate with you? Why do you know the teacher's plan?"
Zhou An smiled and said, "Patil guessed something from my previous performance and used three scapegoats from the Kaiyuan Clan to test and confirm that I can read memories.
Therefore, all his plans are in his memory. As long as I read his memory, I can know his layout. This is a great opportunity for Qianyuan to get rid of the Kaiyuan Divine Clan members, and also get the core intelligence of the Kaiyuan Empire.
It can also allow Lihua Village to join Qianyuan, which can be said to be a hundred benefits with no harm. This emperor has no reason to refuse."
"So that's how it is. Porfit is a sinister and cunning man, and extremely cautious. He will never appear in front of the enemy unless he is absolutely sure. The teacher is very familiar with Porfit, so he set up this trap. It seems to be aimed at the emperor, but it is actually aimed at Porfit." Curtis finally understood. He admired the teacher but also felt that something was lost in his heart.
“To be honest, I still admire Patil, he is right, everyone is fighting for the survival of their own people.
In the struggle between military strategists, life and death are the norm, and Patil is already approaching his death. In the past, he launched the war of all races for his own people, and countless people died and injured. He knew that countless people in this world hated the God Clan.
"Dying in my hands this time is also an explanation to the people of this planet. I will take all the blame on myself so that the people of Lihua Village can stay in Qianyuan better." Zhou An said.
"The Qianyuan Empire is now made up of many races, but these races are all victims of the War of All Races. They can accept anyone, but they have some hatred towards the Gods, especially those who survived the War of All Races.
During my time in Qianyuan, I could sense their fear and a hint of hostility towards me." Curtis said.
"No one can do anything about this matter. Let time heal everything." Zhou An spread his hands. This kind of thing probably no one can resolve. Fortunately, most of the various races in Qianyuan are people who survived the War of Ten Thousand Races.
After Curtis returned, he contacted the Minister of Works. Zhou An had already used the smart bracelet to explain the matter of building the city to Zhou Di and Zhou Yang and asked them to carry it out.
When he returned to the palace, he found Bai Yijun here as soon as he entered. He was surprised when he saw Zhou An, staring at his black dragon robe, and bowed, saying, "Your Highness."
"Congratulations on breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm." Zhou An walked in and sat down. The palace maid brought him a cup of warm scented tea. These scented teas were all provided by the Hundred Flowers Palace. Drinking them would help in improving the cultivation of the innate cultivators. However, for those in the Earthly Immortal Realm, these would no longer be able to improve their abilities.
Bai Yijun said: "Your Majesty is truly blessed. During my time of seclusion, you encountered something extraordinary. Even the two queens of the Spiritual Clan, Xuannv and Jiuxuan, have become your people. Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"Bai Yijun! How dare you appear in front of me." The necklace on Zhou An's neck turned into green light and flew out, turning into Xuannv, staring at Bai Yijun, feeling that there was definitely something wrong with the two of them.
"Don't tell me you were enemies before." Zhou An felt helpless. How could such a bloody thing happen to him?
"It's not a big grudge. It's just that someone was too stingy. He picked a fruit and ate it, but he still holds a grudge against me." Bai Yijun looked at Xuannv with a smile.
"Fruit! If you want to steal the divine fruit, just steal it. Why hurt my divine tree? Don't you know that the divine tree fears you dark energy the most?" Xuannu glared at her with gritted teeth.
"I've said it before, I didn't know. I had just regained my spiritual consciousness and was in urgent need of spiritual objects. I just happened to see your sacred tree mature, so I ate it." Bai Yijun looked helpless.
"The sacred tree is withering every year due to the infection of your dark energy. I am the spirit of the sacred tree. The sacred tree gave birth to me and has given me most of its spiritual power. Now it is infected by your dark energy again. If I hadn't been looking for spiritual liquid to irrigate the sacred tree, it would have died long ago, let alone bear divine fruit." Xuannv gritted her teeth. If Zhou An hadn't been there, she would have taken action.
Bai Yijun was so proud that she would never be scolded. Besides, now that she had reached the Celestial Realm, she was no longer afraid of Xuannu's strength. She stood up and said with a dark aura: "Why waste your time talking? Just say it when you start. I, Bai Yijun, will accompany you to the end."
"Arrogant." Xuannu's spiritual power condensed into vines.
Zhou An immediately stepped in and said, "Wait, I heard that your problem is with the sacred tree, right?"
"The sacred tree is my mother. To human beings, the sacred tree is my mother. How can I give up?" Xuannv's eyes were full of anger. If Bai Yijun showed weakness, she would not mention the matter for the sake of Zhou An, but Bai Yijun was so arrogant, how could she tolerate it.
Zhou An immediately said, "Before we start, how about going to a place with me? I hope you won't ignore my words."
"Okay, for the master's sake, let's put it aside for now." Xuannv was unwilling, and she had to obey Zhou An's words.
"Master? You have actually become the master's servant god!" Bai Yijun exclaimed.
"You are also the master's servant!" Xuannv widened her eyes in disbelief. Even if she knew how to calculate, she could not have figured out that she and Bai Yijun would serve the same master.
Zhou An spread his hands, but for some reason he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. He pulled the two of them together and used the escape technique to come to the back garden of Baihua Palace. In front of them was a sapling more than one meter tall.
"Xuannv, take a look and see if this is the sacred tree you mentioned." Zhou An asked.
Seeing this, Xuannv knelt in front of the sapling excitedly. The spiritual power on her body flowed into the sapling, and green light appeared in the sapling. After a while, she said excitedly: "A new sacred tree, how could it be? There are no sacred trees in this world anymore. Where did the master find it?"
"I picked it up under your tree last time I went to the Goddess Peak. It looked good, so I planted it here. There is plenty of spiritual energy here, and there is a small spiritual vein underground. Your Goddess Peak is just a small space without the nourishment of spiritual veins. It will be better to leave it here." Zhou An said.
Xuan Nu was dumbfounded. How could she not know that her own sacred tree had produced seeds? But there was only one sacred tree in the world. If there were any seeds, they could only have come from her tree. So why didn't she know about it?
She looked at Zhou An and sighed, "Master Hongfu, it is true that the sacred tree will grow better here. I beg the master to allow me to come and take care of her."
"Okay, then let's put aside the grudge between you and Bai Yijun. Since I am your master, the grudge must be reconciled, and I will compensate you in the future." Zhou An said.
"Thank you, master. I will follow your instructions." Xuannv nodded and looked at the sapling in front of her. Her eyes were full of joy and love, as if she saw her own child.
Bai Yijun took a few steps back and restrained her own dark energy. Although she was aloof and arrogant, she knew her limits and was afraid that the sapling would be killed by her dark energy, which would really be asking for trouble.
"After the sacred tree grows up, it will bear sacred fruits every 1,800 years. Eating each one will increase your immortal energy by a thousand years, and can also increase your lifespan by 1,800 years." Xuannv stood up and said.
Zhou An had never thought that the sacred tree had such a function. He was secretly delighted and said quickly, "In the future, I will get a few Immortal Warriors to guard the sacred tree."
"That's right, to prevent it from being stolen." Xuannv said this deliberately and glanced at Bai Yijun.
"Hmph, if I want it, I'll just ask the master for it when the time comes." Bai Yijun snorted. Knowing the effect of the magic fruit, no one would not be tempted.
After mediating the feud between the two, Zhou An smiled wickedly and said, "Everyone else is busy, so why don't you two practice dual cultivation with me?"
"With her!" The two exclaimed at the same time, both showing shame. Originally, they could face the dual cultivation calmly, but suddenly being with their old enemy, the shame in their hearts instantly reappeared.
Without waiting for the two to speak, Zhou An suddenly put his arms around their waists and flew towards Qianyang Palace.
