The sky is clear and cloudless.
A thin wisp of cloud flew over from afar. Several celestial officials wearing light red official robes stood on the cloud. The leading official held a golden gong in his hand and gently struck the gong every hundred miles.
The clang clang sound of the gong turned into circles of golden lines visible to the naked eye, easily penetrating the thick rocks and soil, the flowers and trees, and even the mountain gate restrictions set up by the sects and individual cultivators, and went straight in.
When the gong sounded, the clerk who was beating the gong shouted at the top of his lungs: "Listen up, all sects and independent cultivators, the once-a-century tribute day has arrived. Prepare the spirit crystals and minerals you have mined over the past century and go to the nearest mining supervision office to pay tribute!"
"I'm kindly reminding you all that the Wuliang Mountains are blocked inside and outside by the Mingjiao Clan. You can't escape... You can't escape! Your true images have been recorded. If you don't pay the tribute honestly, your future in the Heavenly Court will be worrying!"
"Be honest and pay the tribute!"
The sound of "clang clang" gongs rang out again, and circles of golden ripples quickly passed through the mountain peaks, streams, and mountain gates of all sizes.
There were more than tens of thousands of such petty officials, near and far. They shuttled through the mountains and hills of Wuliang Mountain, screaming at the top of their lungs, notifying all the sects and independent cultivators to quickly take the spiritual crystals and minerals accumulated over the past hundred years and go to the Mining Supervision Office to pay tribute.
In the sky, large groups of Mingjiao people appeared.
They stood on the dark clouds, hovering high in the sky with an air of superiority, looking down at the rugged mountains below with cold eyes.
"Your Excellency is truly wise! Hahahaha, the children don't have to work hard, just let these guys from the Heavenly Court dig for us!"
"Isn't it? For a hundred years, you can eat and drink and live a carefree life. When the time comes, countless resources will naturally come to you. This kind of relaxed and happy life is much more enjoyable than going around fighting, killing, burning and looting!"
"But I still like the days of fighting and killing! Tsk tsk, killing and arson are the most enjoyable."
"That makes sense. We, the Mingjiao clan... hehe! But, it's almost done, almost done!"
"I heard from the ancestors that the Western Heavenly Court only occupies half of the Wuliang Mountain. The Great Venerable thinks that it is not worthwhile to only get half of the benefits. So, wait and see. The war is about to start. The Western Heavenly Court and the Southern Heavenly Court will go to war, and the Western Heavenly Court must occupy the entire Wuliang Mountain."
The warriors of the Mingjiao clan were suspended in the air, unscrupulously exchanging all kinds of information they had received from the clan's top leaders.
With a "boom", the cave door of Chu Tian Bagua Valley, which had been closed for nearly a hundred years, opened, and Chu Tian, with a strange aura around him, slowly walked out. Behind him, a circle of golden light and a circle of silver light danced in an interlaced manner. After a hundred years of hard work, the Sun Avenue and the Moon Avenue had made some progress, and each of them had condensed more than a dozen Heavenly Dao Treasure Wheels.
There were sixty-four solar paths, sixty-four lunar paths, a total of one hundred and twenty-eight heavenly wheels condensed into two circles of extremely fine light floating behind the head.
Outside the two circles of golden light, a thick and simple round light is like a precious mirror, exuding a strong and ancient atmosphere. This is the Heavenly Dao Treasure Wheel formed by the Great Dao of "Wood". The Great Dao of "Wood" in the Heavenly Court is all-encompassing, not only the reproduction and growth of green wood itself, the Dao rhyme of spring flowers and autumn fruits, but also the Dao rhyme of "wind" and "thunder" derived from the Dao of "Wood".
The most profound of these is the power of 'withering' derived from the life force of 'green wood', which is also the core secret of the 'withered wood technique' of the Luo family.
The thick and ancient round light is green and yellow, with faint transparent and silver stripes inlaid in it, outlining a trace of breeze and lightning runes.
The green jade bamboo leaves left by Qing Yi contain all the Dao rhymes of the great way of 'wood' in the heavenly world, including the laws of 'wind', 'thunder' and the derived law of 'withering', as well as the law of 'poison' derived from the original meaning of 'wood'. There are a total of 1,520 different laws, each condensed into a layer of Heavenly Dao Treasure Wheel, and a total of 1,520 layers of Heavenly Dao Treasure Wheels overlapped to form this round of light!
Chu Tian couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart. Just the fundamental principles of the Great Dao of Wood and the derived Dao rhymes combined together have as many as 1,520 gates. How many changes are there in the other five elements? How many Heavenly Dao Treasure Wheels can be condensed?
Not to mention, the 'wind', 'thunder' and 'poison' derived from the 'wood' path have so many variations, and 'wind', 'thunder' and 'poison' are not only related to the power of wood, for example, 'gold' also has various metal 'poisons', 'fire' also has various 'fire poisons' and so on...
Thinking in this way, the mysteries of the great way between heaven and earth are so complex, and the realm of cultivation is truly endless.
Today's Chu Tian can be said to have mastered the Way of Wood, while he has only just begun to learn the Ways of the Moon and the Sun.
Looking up at a team of mining clerks flying overhead banging gongs, Chu Tian smiled. A strange aura gushed out of his body. The grass and trees in the 3,000-mile Bagua Valley suddenly withered, countless flowers and trees dried and turned yellow, and an inexplicable deathly silence filled the void. Hundreds of independent cultivators who were forcibly imprisoned and taken as subordinates by Chu Tian all softened and fell to the ground powerlessly.
The next moment, Chu Tian waved his hand, and a vitality emerged out of nowhere. All the withered flowers, plants and trees in the Bagua Valley suddenly revived, and countless buds sprouted. In just a few breaths, the grass and trees in the Bagua Valley were lush and green, and the exotic flowers and plants grew a hundred times more luxuriantly than before.
Especially those rare trees, each one seems to have grown for tens of thousands of years. Each one is exceptionally thick and lush, and every branch is twisted and powerful like a giant dragon.
Those casual cultivators who had just collapsed to the ground all exclaimed in surprise. Their faces became rosy, and an inexplicable life essence filled their bodies. Many of the elderly casual cultivators among them suddenly had their white hair fall off, and they grew new black hair and beards. In a flash, each of them looked thousands of years younger!
This is Chu Tian using the Dao rhyme he comprehended from the Ascension Holy Fruit to forcibly extend the lives of these casual cultivators, allowing them to have thousands of years more of spring and autumn. This kind of method can only be performed by someone like Chu Tian who has thoroughly mastered the Great Dao of "Wood" and has personally consumed the Ascension Holy Fruit!
In other words, the current Chu Tian is almost equivalent to half a moving human-shaped holy fruit of ascension!
He cannot refine the divine body for others, but he can definitely extend the life of others and break the constraints of the ten thousand year lifespan. Although he cannot make people never worry about the end of their lifespan like the holy fruit of ascension, it is enough to make people live carefree and happy for hundreds of thousands of years. This is completely no problem.
"The power of reincarnation of plants and trees seems weak and insignificant, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful." Chu Tian secretly admired it. At the same time, he remembered the origin of the great way of 'wood'. It was just a small and inconspicuous piece of green jade bamboo leaf given by Qingyi!
I don't know whether this great way of 'wood' was condensed by Qing Yi himself.
If Qing Yi did it himself, then Qing Yi's true strength is really immeasurable, and it is really terrifying. He only condensed a Qingyu Bamboo Leaf Dao Canon, and it was easy for Chu Tian to completely condense the 1,520-layer Heavenly Dao Treasure Wheel within a hundred years and completely control the Great Dao of 'Wood'!
What kind of heaven-defying power is this?
This is equivalent to forcibly improving Chu Tian's cultivation by more than twenty times! And there are no side effects, no future troubles, all the mysteries of the avenue are as if Chu Tian himself spent tens of thousands of years of hard work to comprehend and polish them bit by bit, blending them seamlessly without any stagnation.
Especially the vast magical power contained in the Heavenly Wheel.
As vast as the sea, like the boundless ocean before a hurricane. As long as the mind moves, it can stir up endless waves and destroy everything in front of it like a tsunami!
Think about it, Qingyang of the Three Immortals Sect back then, he only had thirty-six days of heavenly strength, that is, thirty-six calamities of strength, but he already enjoyed a high position in the Three Immortals Sect. And thirty-six days of heavenly strength, according to Qingyang, is already a great master in the outer battlefield!
**If the thirty-six heavenly powers are all masters and powerful people...what is Chu Tian at this moment?
What does it matter if he created Chu Tian’s Qingyi in just a hundred years?
In this way, the Tianlu world is just a small world, which cannot be compared with the heavenly world. Chu Tian can even imagine how deep the water in the heavenly world is and how terrifying the hidden masters are.
"If this code wasn't condensed by Qingyi himself...if it was his backer, it would be fine, but if it was his subordinates..." Chu Tian thought of more.
He couldn't help but shiver.
This green jade bamboo leaf couldn't possibly be condensed by Qing Yi's subordinates, right? If Qing Yi's subordinates all had such unpredictable magical powers, then what kind of earth-shaking figure was Qing Yi?
Could he be one of the Five Great Emperors?
I don't think so. This guy is mysterious and is clearly an enemy of Heaven. He can't be one of the Five Great Emperors.
“Who knows!” Chu Tian frowned and flew up slowly. Following the script given to him by Qing Yi, he flew straight to the direction of the Canglan Mountain Mine Supervision Office. When he flew out of the Bagua Valley, he said calmly to the wandering cultivators who were kneeling on the ground in the valley with joy: “Keep an eye on the mountain gate, I will be back soon!”
High in the sky above the Bagua Valley, dozens of members of the Mingjiao tribe were staring covetously, grinning and pointing.
Chu Tian flew forward expressionlessly under the guidance of these Mingjiao people, flying straight towards the Canglan Mountain Mine Supervision Office.
Over the years, Chu Tian himself has been constantly absorbing and digesting the wood avenue in the green jade bamboo leaves, but the production line in Qiqiao Tiangong has not stopped. In nearly a hundred years, Qiqiao Tiangong has produced billions of small mining puppets. Countless mining puppets have mined thousands of miles of the ore layer under the Bagua Valley and mined countless ore crystals.
The amount of these mineral crystals far exceeded the amount of tribute demanded by the Mingjiao clan. Chu Tian only selected the worst ones to carry with him, and invested the rest in the construction of the Qiqiao Palace.
There were countless warriors of the Mingjiao clan patrolling in the sky, and Chu Tian had a safe journey. He arrived at the Canglan Mountain Mine Supervision Office smoothly.
There are already countless monks from various sects and independent practitioners gathered here. They lined up in neat rows in the sky with sad faces, just waiting to go in and pay tribute one by one.
