“It’s okay to plant it.”
A voice soon came to his mind. This voice not only sounded in Chen Qingcheng's ears, but also echoed in Chen Qingcheng's mind.
Even though Mu Lao's reaction was a little slow, he understood what had happened when he heard this, and he immediately said angrily:
"Boy, you betrayed me!"
Chen Qingcheng disagreed and just smiled:
"Mr. Mu, you are joking. I am a member of the family. How can I talk about betrayal?"
"However, along the way, I have been able to achieve this thanks to Elder Mu's care and support. Otherwise, my realm would not have improved so quickly. However, Elder Mu, you had ulterior motives, so we are even."
"Okay, okay, very good. It seems that I underestimated you."
Mu Lao said angrily, but after the two black rhizomes were completely integrated into the ground, Mu Lao said coldly:
"Since I have been discovered, I will not pretend any longer. Today, I will take your clan's totem!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful force of consciousness burst out.
There was also a huge tremor below the ancestral hall.
The two black rhizomes that had previously been integrated into the ground began to grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
From the original rhizome, it turned into a sapling in the blink of an eye. Not long after, it grew directly into an ancient tree several meters tall, vaguely as tall as the sacred tree in the ancestral hall.
Faced with the changes in the ancestral hall, Chen Qingcheng had already stepped aside, but there was still a hint of worry on his face.
However, thinking of the instructions from the sacred tree just now, Chen Qingcheng was no longer panicked.
Below the ancestral hall, the souls of Chen Changming and others also felt a huge pressure. It seemed that this Old Man Mu was indeed extraordinary.
However, they have full confidence in the sacred tree, as it is now the family's territory.
In the sight of everyone, the ancient tree gradually changed from its original dry black color to blood red. The moment the blood color appeared, the ancient tree seemed to have vitality instantly, and the roots below also began to surge, quickly moving towards the trunk of the family sacred tree.
"It's just a living creature that has been sacrificed for less than ten years. You want to go against me? You are really wishful thinking."
As the roots spread, an old face appeared on the bloody ancient tree, and it couldn't help but sneer.
Looking at the changes in the black rhizomes, Ji Yang was also a little amazed.
As expected of a creature that could survive from ancient times, it does have some abilities. If he were just an ordinary spiritual tree, he would indeed not be able to cope with it.
Feeling the crisis coming from underground, Ji Yang refused to give in.
There were also several roots spreading towards the blood-red ancient tree in front.
He also has roots, so let’s see who is stronger.
When the roots of both sides touched each other, an invisible battle began underground.
However, with the added abilities of Ji Yang, his roots had already become extremely strong. Moreover, it was still dark at this time, and with the added ability of the King of Eternal Night, his powerful roots quickly gained the upper hand, and seemed to be about to devour the bloody ancient tree.
But the face on the bloody ancient tree was not panicked at all, instead there was a hint of a triumphant smile on its face.
At the same time, Ji Yang also noticed something was wrong.
I saw that the roots that had just come into contact with the ancient tree were gradually turning blood red, losing their own control, and moving towards me.
At the same time, the ancient tree's face laughed loudly:
“Don’t struggle. If you lose, you lose because of your own arrogance. This is the endless blood river that I merged into all those years ago. Once you are contaminated by it, it will be impossible to get rid of it. Just obediently transform into my true form!”
Mu Lao had a frenzied look on his face, and at the same time, more rivers like blood gushed out from the ancient tree. The roots below seemed to be infected and were spreading faster at this moment.
Chen Qingcheng, who was standing by, looked panicked again after hearing this. Could it be that the family sacred tree was really no match for him?
But he did everything according to the instructions of the sacred tree, so it shouldn't have come to this.
Seeing the blood river quickly flowing through the ancestral hall and infecting more of its roots, Ji Yang was also surprised, but he did not panic.
The next moment, a faint light bloomed on a silver locust leaf among the dense locust leaves. It was the release of the lightning power stored in the locust leaves.
As silver arcs flashed on the locust leaves, a large amount of lightning power quickly flowed along the locust leaves and trunk to the roots below.
The blood river that was originally spreading rapidly along the roots, after coming into contact with the power of thunder and lightning, gradually began to burn, and the speed of spread also began to slow down instantly.
The release of lightning power caused a hint of surprise on the face of the blood-colored ancient tree, but after the surprise, a hint of joy appeared on its face again:
“Okay, okay, I thought it was just an ordinary spiritual tree, but I didn’t expect it to have such magical powers. It is finally qualified to serve as my main body. However, this power of thunder and lightning has no effect on me!”
As he finished speaking, the blood river that had originally slowed down actually began to spread towards Ji Yang's trunk again, and the power of thunder and lightning that had just been released also gradually began to weaken, and seemed to be defeated.
This scene really surprised Ji Yang. The power of thunder and lightning is the power of heaven and earth. It is overbearing and aggressive. It has a great deterrent and threat to both spiritual creatures and warriors. Even he himself finds it difficult to deal with it without the blessing of the King of Thunder and Lightning.
But no one knew what kind of tree this blood-colored ancient tree was, yet it was actually not afraid of the power of thunder and lightning.
However, Ji Yang felt that perhaps it was more because of the blood river.
Ji Yang's mind raced. The golden locust leaves on the tree trunk lit up slightly, but then quickly dimmed.
There is not much incense scent to begin with, so it is better to use it sparingly. Besides, the incense scent may not be suitable for the current situation.
Just as Ji Yang was about to use the Thousand Miles of Red Earth to melt everything with high temperature, his mind suddenly moved, and he asked with the power of consciousness:
"What kind of blood is in this river of blood?"
The face on the bloody ancient tree froze after hearing this, but the suppressed temperament over the years made him unable to help but answer:
"Humph, of course it's the beast blood that I have accumulated through all my hard work in the Mass Burial Mountain over the years!"
After he finished speaking, Mu Lao laughed out loud:
"You don't think that you can absorb this beast blood, do you? You are too naive. This blood has been melted by my blood river..."
Mu Lao was in a very good mood and was about to give Ji Yang a thorough explanation.
But then he felt that his blood began to drain away rapidly!
Even the roots that were originally controlled by the blood river gradually began to lose control.
Seeing this scene, Mu Lao was horrified and couldn't help but shouting:
"How is this possible!"
"My blood river was the most precious treasure of the Blood River Sect back then. I have refined it for thousands of years. How could it be absorbed?"
Seeing his own vitality rising rapidly, Ji Yang was in a good mood. The quality of the beast blood in this blood river was surprisingly high. At this moment, Ji Yang couldn't help but emit the power of consciousness and replied:
"What era is this? You still treasure that blood river!"
As long as it is animal blood, it is a sacrifice!
If he had known that Mr. Mu had a huge sum of money, he would not have kept him for so long.
