"Transplantation!"
Ling Tian hesitated for a moment, but soon became determined.
His spiritual consciousness wrapped up the animal skin, and the contents inside poured into Ling Tian's mind like a tide. It was over in just a few breaths, but the amount of information was huge. It took Ling Tian a whole day to digest it.
After making full preparations, he took out the Dragon-Slaying Vine and various auxiliary items needed. If most of the resources of the entire Dan Sect were not in his hands, it would not be certain that he would be able to gather these auxiliary items in a short time.
Ling Tian performed the transplantation technique and tried dozens of times before he successfully coagulated the blood into roots. He guided the silk thread, which was the size of a hair, and slowly approached the end of one of the roots of the Dragon-Slaying Vine. When the two touched, the Dragon-Slaying Vine produced a violent rejection. Ling Tian continued to use rich spiritual energy to guide it.
This process was very mentally exhausting, and one could not be impatient at all. Just half a day later, Ling Tian's persistence finally paid off. This root was perfectly connected to the body. This was the most important step. The successful connection was equivalent to building a connecting bridge between him and the Dragon-Slaying Vine. With the bridge, it would be much easier to connect the remaining roots.
However, the process of blood coagulation into roots cannot be fast, and it cannot be fast. Moreover, it needs to be perfectly connected with the roots, which makes it even slower. After a quarter of an hour, only ten roots have been connected, which is only a drop in the bucket of the Dragon-Slaying Vine. There is still a long way to go.
Another day passed, Ling Ren was still repeating the tedious connection work while Hao Shen was still working. Although he had only completed less than one percent of it, he had already achieved a blood resonance with the Dragon Slayer Vine. Now he could use it, but the number of connected roots was too small, which affected the output of spiritual power, and the attack strength and range were not satisfactory.
After resting for a while and swallowing a few pills, Ling Tian continued. However, in less than an hour, he was forced to interrupt the work of connecting the roots and quickly took the Dragon-Slaying Vine into his body.
"Seventh-level Tongbi Three-eyed Monkey!"
Ling Tian got the information through the hallucinogenic butterfly, and the illusion no longer worked. The three-eyed monkey itself was proficient in the art of breaking illusions, and its third eye had the ability to break the void. Although the hallucinogenic butterfly was an ancient beast, it could not withstand the gap in realm after all. Even the beasts with higher bloodlines could only avoid its edge when there were two major realms.
After collecting the hallucinogenic butterflies and removing the formation, Ling Tian walked out. The three-eyed monkey sat in the distance with his legs crossed in a very human manner.
Ling Tian couldn't understand why it didn't attack him. Did it have any demands?
"This is not the place to talk, follow me."
Ling Tian couldn't wrap his head around it. How could it speak, and so clearly? Wasn't this something that only a ninth-level Transformation could achieve?
"Don't dare? Haha!"
Ling Tian looked at it again and felt that running was not a good option. If he escaped, he would have to face thousands of powerful monsters. If he didn't escape, he would only have to face one of them. Ling Tian could clearly make the choice.
"Afraid of you? Be careful or I'll roast and eat you."
Ling Tian certainly didn't say he was defeated, but he was still a little unsure in his heart. A demon beast wanted to discuss something with him? The thought of it was unbelievable.
Soon Ling Tian followed the Tongbi Three-Eyed Monkey to the place where it had discussed in detail. It was a valley surrounded by a natural formation, and there was actually a hot spring inside. In the center of the spring, a small tree with thin leaves more than three feet high made Ling Tian exclaim in surprise.
"Bodhi tree!"
"No... Impossible. Isn't the only Bodhi tree in the world grown on Fanjing Mountain in the upper realm?"
"It seems that fellow Daoist is very knowledgeable. Yes, this is the sacred Bodhi tree. As for where it came from, it is unknown. The demon world has existed for millions of years and opens once every thousand years. Perhaps it was brought from the outside world by cultivators like you."
Ling Tian was even more unconvinced. There could only be one such sacred tree in the world. Since it appeared here, didn’t it mean that the one on Fanjing Mountain had disappeared?
After taking a look at the three-eyed monkey, whose intelligence was no less than that of humans, Ling Tian was very sure that this plant was the legendary Bodhi tree. Only such a divine object could help living beings open up their intelligence and understand the way of heaven.
"I wonder what Brother Monkey wants to talk to me about?"
"I want you to take me out. As a reward, I can give you all the spiritual medicines in this valley, including this sacred Bodhi tree."
"What!"
Ling Tian cried out in shock, his heartbeat quickening. Suddenly, he remembered something, and his excitement subsided. He said with a hint of disappointment, "Although this temptation is great, there are unique rules here. You can't leave."
"Haha, the laws of nature always leave a glimmer of hope for any living being. The rules are unbreakable, but there are always loopholes, and Brother Ling, you are that loophole."
"Me? Could it be?"
The three-eyed monkey smiled and said the word "space" to Ling Tian, which made his skin stand on end. How could it know all this?
"Brother Ling, please don't be surprised. This is a trace of Void-Breaking ability I gained through practicing under the Bodhi tree for a thousand years. Although it's vague, I can still feel it."
Ling Tian didn't know if what it said was true, but he was extremely wary of him. This space held so many secrets that if they were leaked, it would be a huge disaster. However, compared to the Bodhi Tree, it was definitely worth a gamble.
"I can take the risk and take you out, but the prerequisite is that you must sign a contract with me first. Otherwise, you can't enter my space. Moreover, the contract cannot be terminated immediately after signing. It must be terminated after a thousand years. If it is terminated by force, both you and I will be in danger, or even die. You must consider this carefully."
"That's no problem. I already know the pros and cons of this. However, before signing, I hope you'll swear a soul oath. We can only sign an equal contract, and we must break it after a thousand years. Of course, I will follow you during this time, after all, I'm also worried that you might get into trouble."
When Ling Tian heard this, he was overjoyed. To have a seventh-level monster as a follower was a rare opportunity. Anyone who didn't agree was a fool.
"That's natural."
Half an hour later, the contract was successfully completed and both parties nodded in satisfaction.
"Brother Monkey, although you have reached level seven, there are also level eight and nine creatures here, and there should even be level ten. Even if there is a natural formation to cover it up, it shouldn't be hidden from these monsters, right?"
"Haha, this natural formation is naturally unable to conceal high-level demonic beasts, but the power of my third eye is not comparable to that of an ordinary three-eyed monkey. Even your hallucinogenic butterfly pales in comparison to it."
"Could it be that Brother Monkey's third eye has mutated?"
The three-eyed monkey smiled without saying anything, but did not deny it. It seemed that he agreed with Ling Tian's guess.
