The species is very special. Even in the entire Eastern Region's immortal cultivation world, there are not many cultivators who have seen it.

But it just so happens that Mr. Jiang is very familiar with it.

Because this leaf is exactly the leaf of the Nine Netherwood, the spiritual root of heaven and earth. As a practitioner of the Nine Nether Dao Sutra, Jiang Li can guarantee that it is genuine and there will be no mistake.

The fact that this leaf was handed into his hands meant that the other party was either a parasitic puppet of another branch of Jiuyou, or the real body was here.

And the most important thing is that the other party probably also knows that there is also a branch of Jiuyou behind Jiang Li.

Jiang Li originally thought that the enemy was in the dark while we were in the light, so he went to the Mu family to investigate the situation.

But he didn't find out anything about the Mu family, and he didn't expect that his own situation had been secretly discovered by someone.

If this information about the method was revealed to the Taolin Mu family, Jiang Li would probably be in big trouble again.

In addition, Jiang Li was also very concerned about the ancient characters written on the leaves.

"The longevity peach yang fruit can cover the breath of the yin fruit."

The longevity peach Yang fruit refers to the Mu family longevity peach, while the Yin fruit refers to the Jiuyou Earth Fruit.

Jiang Li tried it and the other party didn't lie to him.

After using the Nine Nether Wood to absorb the longevity peach, it will then be integrated into the Nine Nether Earth Fruit or the spiritual root seed.

The unique aura of the parasitic spiritual root seed can indeed form a perfect cover.

Even he himself finds it difficult to recognize his own parasitic puppet.

The other party's intention in passing this message to him was obviously to let him use it on the beastman Zongbarosa.

Originally, Jiang Li didn't want to use the spiritual root seeds in the peach forest.

He planned to use the spirit sucker to control Barosa first, and after dealing with the high-level members of the Beast Madness Sect, he would let Barosa find an opportunity to die quickly.

Because there is a disadvantage to doing so. After the monk's brain is eaten by the spirit-sucking monster, although there is no sign of abnormality on the surface, the person's essence is actually dead.

This also means that the soul lamp tablet that Barosa stored in the Beast Madness Sect will be extinguished on the spot.

It won't take long for the other sect to react. If both sides die at the same time, Jiang Li will be easily exposed.

It was not until he read the note and conducted experiments that he realized it was indeed possible, and used the spiritual root seed that had been fused with the longevity peach to turn Barossa into his own.

With the identity of the second generation of this sect, he might not be able to directly resolve the conflict between the Beast Madness Sect and the Chongshan League.

But for now, the situation has been temporarily eased and the problem is not serious.

In the future, Jiang Li can use him as a springboard to gradually erode the Beast Mad Sect. As long as he can turn several important figures in the Beast Mad Sect into his own people, this matter can be resolved without bloodshed.

You don’t have to worry about the Beast Madness Sect episode for now.

The problem now is that he must find the hidden Jiuyou branch as soon as possible.

"Could it be Mu Chunkong?"

This box of longevity peaches was handed to him by Mu Chunkong himself.

If anyone wants to do something, it would be easiest for him to do it.

But after thinking for a moment, Jiang Li shook his head and ruled out this possibility.

He had tried this many times on Mu Chunyang before.

Due to the Mu family's special skills, the seeds of spiritual roots cannot parasitize on their bodies at all.

Even if forceful action is taken, the final result will only be that the recipient will die suddenly due to the conflict between two completely opposite energies.

Although there are some differences between each spiritual root branch, their essence will not change.

Since Jiang Li can't do it, the other party is most likely unable to do it either.

That might be the second generation from other sects in Gaoting.

At that time, everyone's attention was on the battle between Jiang Li and Barossa. In that situation, it would not be difficult to use some means to secretly put a leaf into the box.

He took the bracelet back from Shenshan Qiuhua, and it turned into a miniature golden reticulated python in Jiang Li's hand.

This is naturally the other giant demon python in the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave in Luanshiling.

Before, Jiang Li turned it into a bracelet and let it stay in the high pavilion with Shenshan Qiuhua. In addition to protecting Qiuhua, he also wanted it to monitor everyone from above.

Be careful of this group of second-generation people who might do something bad to him behind his back.

Unfortunately, the other party acted very cautiously, and the reticulated python did not observe any suspicious people.

There was no way to identify the target directly. Jiang Li looked at the leaf again.

The only thing that can be confirmed now is that this leaf of Jiuyou is completely fresh and should have been picked no more than an hour ago.

In other words, the one who sneaked into the Mu family and was close to Jiang Li in the pavilion at that time should be the real body of a Jiuyou branch.

He is really brave, and his ability to conceal his aura is really amazing.

Jiang Li was a little overwhelmed, and he brought together several parallel consciousnesses to think of a solution for a long time.

If the other party is hiding intentionally and you want to find him directly, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But in fact, there is still a way, maybe you can contact the other party first to test it out.

After explaining things to Shenshan Qiuhua, Jiang Li sat cross-legged on the spot, meditating so deeply that his mind sank into the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness.

This time he did not summon other parallel consciousnesses, but instead he entered the sea of ​​consciousness of Jiuyou's clone.

Compared with Jiang Li's original body, Jiuyou's clone's sea of ​​consciousness seems much smaller, and his spiritual world is more monotonous and empty.

In the gloomy spiritual world, there is only a giant upside-down tree floating in the middle of the world.

The surrounding area was only a few hundred feet long and it reached the end.

Looking outside again, apart from being able to vaguely see Jiang Li's main consciousness, nothing else could be seen.

This is different from the scene Jiang Li saw when he used the Guanyin Heart Sutra to obtain the Jiuyou branch.

The sea of ​​consciousness of a normal Nine Nether branch is actually attached to the Nine Nether wood body.

But after Jiang Li seized this branch, he cut off his original connection and hung it on the edge of his own consciousness.

What he needs to do now is to return this spiritual space to its original position.

Jiang Li concentrated his mind and activated the Guanyin Heart Sutra, cutting off the connection between the two spiritual worlds.

The next moment, the spiritual world of the Jiuyou branch began to vibrate. After separating from Jiang Li's body, it floated for a moment, and was attracted by another existence, approaching an unknown direction.

The spiritual world is illusory and there is no concept of distance in the conventional sense.

Just like the spiritual connection between him and his Yaksha clone, this kind of spiritual connection can even cross the barriers of the plane without being affected too much.

Not long after, through the boundary of the sea of ​​consciousness, Jiang Li vaguely saw a giant inverted tree that reached from the sky to the earth.

Even in the spiritual world, it is difficult to observe the other person's complete posture.

As expected, the parallel consciousness of the Guanyin Heart Sutra can even deceive this kind of spiritual essence. As long as you actively rely on it, you will also be accepted by the Nine Nether Wood.

Soon, the consciousness space stabilized.

The mission of the numerous Nine Nether branches is to determine the strongest one by devouring each other, and return to the underworld to devour the true body in order to inherit the power of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth.

Therefore, from the moment they were born, they had an instinct to converge.

For example, in this space of consciousness, the distance between the mental bubbles can be used to judge the distance of the main body.

Now, it is almost within reach to see the spiritual world of another branch of Jiuyou.

This means that there really is a Nine Netherwood, and it is quite close to him.

This should be the person who contacted me, right?

Jiang Li's mind moved, and he ran to the spiritual edge where the two sides were closest.

At this time, the other party also discovered him.

In the other party's spiritual space, a smaller version of the Nine Nether Wood spontaneously floated over.

The shape of the tree's trunk is that of a Taoist immortal sitting cross-legged.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

What is worth noting is that behind the statue, the bark is not flat, but a bunch of shrunken wrinkles.

It seemed that there was something growing under the bark, but the thing inside disappeared for some reason later, and the bark became wrinkled after it became empty.

Jiang Li was shocked and remembered the branch tree in the Mazu River Basin.

After he obtained the opponent's demonic tree heart, he made it into the core of the statue's clone.

And the other half of the statue's tree heart is exactly the same as the one in front of you now.

Wait, if the other party had not been blind back then, he would have definitely seen the cold flame of the ghost lantern that burned him half to death. It was set by Jiang Li.

Are you coming here to seek revenge now?

After understanding the other party's identity, he remembered the frequent disappearance of the parasitic monks in his Wanshi hermit army.

Now it seems that it is very likely that this guy was responsible.

Back then, the Nine Netherwood tree in the underwater cemetery was nearly burned to death by Jiang Li's ghost lantern cold flame.

After escaping, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. When he was seriously injured, he awakened a special talent similar to the seed of a spiritual root, which allowed him to shrink his body and hide in the body of a human monk.

After lying dormant for a while, he reappeared at an unknown time without revealing his whereabouts. Instead, he lurked in the Dachong Mountains, trying to undermine Jiang Li's position from behind.

Since Jiang Liman and Jiang Hong's stall was too big, it was inevitable that they would be found by this guy.

This is really hard to guard against.

After this guy escaped, Jiang Li specially took out ten ghost lantern fish's lantern capsules, refined them into disposable ghost lantern fire bombs, and handed them over to the top leaders of Chongshan League.

As long as this Nine Netherwood dares to appear again, even if he is not present, the Chongshan League can still use the ghost lantern and fire thunder to teach him a fatal lesson.

But unfortunately, the tree demon became smarter after becoming a spirit, and in the end he was the one who was tricked.

The two sides stared at each other across the barrier of the spiritual world.

But the soul cannot cross this seemingly small distance.

At this time, a tree root of the opponent stretched out, and on the root was rolled a black token with the words "Chongshan" written on it.

At the same time, Jiang Li suddenly felt a burning sensation in his chest. It was his Chongshan Alliance Leader Order that reacted at this time.

As soon as he thought about it, he held his alliance leader's order in his hand. After reading the information, his expression immediately became even uglier.

"Finally I see you again, my fellow tribesman. Or rather, I should call you Qingshan Jushi!"

The message came from the token he left for Yan Hong.

But the one who sent the message was obviously the Jiuyou branch that was confronting him across the air.

It turned out that even Yan Hong had fallen into the hands of the other party.

Plus those stubborn stone hermits who mysteriously disappeared.

Since they have changed their allegiance, all the information they knew will naturally be leaked.

Fortunately, Jiang Li did not have the habit of telling his subordinates everything. He only passed on the mission and never told them the reason, so the information leaked was still within his tolerance.

Moreover, this Nine Netherwood probably does not believe that a human can control his own kind.

After he got the information about the Wanshi hermit, he roughly guessed the experience of "this fellow".

In his understanding, Jiuyou's clone originally appeared in the world of immortal cultivation in the identity of Qingshan hermit and intercepted a lot of his spiritual root seeds.

Later, he found a way to get to know and control the leader of Chongshan League, and then he left Dachongshan with the troops and arrived at the main city of the East Region.

He called out the name "Qingshan Jushi" to let Jiang Li know that he had mastered all his information and tried to bring some psychological pressure to Jiang Li.

Seeing that the other party had misunderstood, Jiang Li did not deny it, but calmly asked the other party through the alliance leader's order.

"It's you. Where are my seeds now?"

The other party who is barefoot is not afraid of those who wear shoes. If Jiang Li doesn't want to be passive, he has to pretend that he doesn't care about shoes either.

With just one word, he expressed his attitude towards the missing monks.

"Don't worry, they are fine. You stole two thousand seeds from Lao Dao before, isn't it just right to use them to repay me now?"

In the world of immortal cultivation in Dachong Mountain, there were only two branches of the Nine Netherworld. Of course, he had to blame Jiang Li for the disappearance of those parasitic cultivators when he was in the underwater cemetery.

But Jiang Li had no intention of admitting it.

"I don't know what you are talking about. But you are not allowed to touch my territory and my seeds."

"Give me back all my seeds. You should know that you are no match for me."

Jiang Li did not show any anger or even worry, as if he was really just a tree.

The other party already possesses a high level of intelligence. If he were to feel how much he values ​​those parasitic cultivators or even Yan Hong, he would be severely threatened.

Jiang Li put on a blank face and raised his hand to summon a ball of white ghost lantern fire.

I act like I'm not afraid of you, but I have you in my hands.

Seeing that ball of pale fire, a trace of fear and anger clearly flashed across the heart of the Taoist statue.

Although the color is different, he suffered a great loss from this flame in the past.

Even though Jiang Li's Jiuyou clone is not as powerful as his, as long as this fire is there, he has no chance of winning.

Jiang Li did this without showing any sign of being coerced, instead he threatened the other party.

This bold operation could easily lead to Yan Hong's death.

But the other party's next words made Jiang Li feel relieved.

"It will do no good for us to take action here."

"I can return those seeds to you, but you have to help me deal with the Peach Demon Tree!"
