In the green light, a human face appeared, with dark features as it looked around.
The seven-colored monk grinned and looked around, but did not see Shen Lian.
He complained, "He just plays tricks."
"If you keep complaining, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
A cold voice rang in his ears, and the colorful monk shuddered suddenly, rolled up a ball of colorful spiritual light and was about to escape into the distance.
Seeing the colorful monk fleeing away, the face in the green light shook, but ultimately did not make any attempt to intercept him.
…
"Hey, Great Protector, why didn't you kill that guy just now?"
After the Seven-Colored Monk fled far away, he realized that no one was catching up with him, so he started muttering to the void.
"I said you wouldn't be able to beat that thing."
However, the words did not elicit any follow-up response from Shen Lian, which made the cultivator, who had tree buds in his eyes, look tense.
Shen Lian sensed the Seven-Colored Monk from afar. He remembered that Heiya had said that when it fell from the Five Elements Immortal Palace, it took the help of a human monk named Honglin. This was most likely this person.
This old fellow was quite courageous. Even though he was so weak at that time, he dared to drug a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Brother Lu, how about we work together to do something big?"
"Speak."
The seven-colored monks spoke again and again.
"Let Heiya speak for himself."
After these words came out, the Seven-Colored Cultivator was stunned, "Daoyou Lu, you can actually detect that I am the incarnation of the deity, that's amazing."
Being Heiya's clone is really unlucky. This old guy has a criminal record and can discard his clone at will.
"Unfortunately, I haven't arrived yet."
The Seven-Colored Monk stretched out his hand and touched his nose. "But as an avatar, I am completely under the control of the master. Besides, the body is just a stinky skin bag. Brother Lu, why do you care so much?"
"Where is the Five Elements Towering Tree?"
Shen Lian asked again, he wanted to leave at that time.
Unexpectedly, this guy finally sent a message, telling him that the purpose of his coming here was for the Five Elements Towering Wood.
Ever since he met the two senior brothers and sisters Qingmu and Qingyi when he was still at the Jindan level, Shen Lian had been thinking about whether he could cultivate and create a natal spirit or something.
I don't ask for any spiritual plants to help me improve my combat power, I just want them to speed up my healing process and share my lifespan.
Unfortunately, he looked down upon ordinary spiritual plants, so the matter was delayed.
Of course, it is still too early to say that he wants this towering five-element tree as his natal spiritual plant. Besides, he doesn't dare to rashly refine the spiritual object that fell from the Five Elements Immortal Palace into his natal spiritual plant.
In addition to being a natal spiritual plant, spiritual wood is also a good material for making talisman paper.
In addition, he also wanted to use this incident to see if the spiritual objects that fell from the Five Elements Immortal Palace were all perverted things like Heiya.
As for saving Heiya, Shen Lian also sensed the green light and shadow that had taken action before. It should be a life form similar to a spiritual treasure. If he puts in enough effort, he can still kill it.
However, he did not use any ruthless force, he just pulled out the Black Cliff clone and that was it.
It’s not that he thought too much. The Black Cliff clone was almost collapsed after being beaten. When he sensed his presence, he sent a message.
Is there a possibility that as soon as Heiya's clone appeared, he had already noticed him hiding around?
However, the Black Cliff clone did not call him in advance. Instead, he called him for help after being seriously injured. It might be that he wanted to use him to kill the monk in the green light.
As for why Heiya can sense him repeatedly, it may be related to the five elements spiritual roots, or in other words, Heiya also has a strong sensitivity to other cultivators with five elements spiritual roots.
"Hehe, I am on my way here. Only it can sense where the towering tree is."
After saying this, the Seven-Colored Monk closed his mouth tightly.
…
Combining the information he knew before and after, Shen Lian was able to roughly deduce the cause and effect of the matter.
The cultivator from the Xuanyou clan obtained the Five Elements Towering Wood in the Five Elements Immortal Palace, and then was targeted.
I’m afraid that my cheap senior brothers and sisters have suffered a disaster because of this.
The key issue at the moment is the quality of this five-element towering wood.
Spiritual trees take even longer to grow than spiritual medicines. Some plants grow for thousands of years, but there are many that are even less spiritual than first-level herbs.
Most spiritual plants have lived for tens of thousands of years, and are comparable to fourth-level spiritual plants in terms of the energy they gather. However, in terms of combat power, they may not even be able to compare with third-level Jindan cultivators.
This is a question of species characteristics.
After a moment, the expression of the colorful monk who had just smiled changed, and tree buds appeared in his eyes, and the light began to spread out like ripples.
The ripples were so illusory that they merged into the surrounding void in an instant. They were covered by divine thoughts but not visible, and could not be sensed by magical powers.
After some sensing, he frowned.
"Brother Lu?"
"Great Protector?"
"Brother Lu?"
In his perception, the aura of Shen Lian that he could vaguely sense just now suddenly disappeared.
The unwilling Seven-Colored Monk muttered something, and after his throat moved a few times, a thin grass as thin as a seedling flew out.
Five spiritual leaves quickly grew in the air. The five colors of black, white, green, red and yellow vibrated together and once again turned into ripples that sank into the surroundings.
But after some investigation, he still couldn't sense Shen Lian's breath.
This made the Seven-Colored Monk frown, as he couldn't grasp Shen Lian's thoughts every time.
From the first time we tried to cooperate, we failed.
The second time at Tianxing Mountain, I finally managed to deal with it by using spiritual objects.
The third time, the same method was used and the five elements towering wood was used as a gimmick.
Whether it is used to gather spiritual energy to build a cave or to refine magical instruments, the Five Elements Towering Wood is the most suitable thing for Shen Lian.
Shen Lian shouldn't be uninterested.
It must be a tactic of playing hard to get, this guy would do that.
He clearly wanted it but couldn't get it, yet he pretended not to want it and even tried to deceive the dignified Black Cliff Ancestor.
With a humming sound, the suspended colorful grass caught fire and burned to ashes. This was a part derived from the main body and was most useful for sensing monks with five spiritual roots.
Thinking of this, the Seven-Colored Monk felt in his arms, took out a broken tree root, and held it above his head to show it.
"Brother Lu, I'm leaving now. I'll be there soon."
As he spoke, he put the tree roots back where they were, and his figure turned into a colorful light and disappeared into the distance.
…
Thousands of miles away.
A flying boat flew across the sky like lightning and suddenly came to the side of the tree roots. A graceful female cultivator flew out from the spirit boat and grabbed the tree roots.
"I didn't expect Brother Lu to like this kind of tune."
When the female cultivator touched the roots of the tree, a faint voice came from the roots.
A cloud of black smoke came out, revealing a hazy figure.
"Brother Lu, let's be frank. In the entire Tiannan cultivation world, in my opinion, only Brother Lu and I are truly great fortune-makers."
"Huh." The female cultivator hissed at the shadow, signaling it to continue.
"Hehe, let's work together to kill the Five Elements Towering Tree. I'll devour the spiritual power to practice, and I'll give you the tree trunk."
The female cultivator scratched her fingernails and said nothing.
"To be honest, this Five Elements Towering Tree is a small branch of the Five Elements Fairy Tree. I didn't expect it to fall from the Fairy Palace."
“These spiritual plants growing on the surface are not very friendly to me, a rotten tree root growing underground.”
Seeing that the female cultivator still didn't speak, the shadow shook violently.
"Brother Lu, our great enemies are both in the Five Elements Palace. We can both benefit from cooperation. Now is not the time for internal strife."
"You are not telling the truth." The female cultivator looked up at Heiya and spoke coldly.
"Every word I say is from the bottom of my heart. If you and I join forces, we will definitely kill everyone."
"How can a rotten piece of wood like you have any heart? Telling you the whole story of why you fell from the Five Elements Palace is the basis for our cooperation."
The shadow of Heiya shook for a few times, and finally said: “I don’t know it very well.
I said before that I don’t know why I can communicate with spirits, and I don’t know why I fell from up there.
It might have been a sudden thought that made me follow the human cultivators into the Five Elements Immortal Palace.
What was said before about the Five Elements Immortal Palace possibly spying on your five spiritual roots is not a lie.
Over the years, I have been possessing humans, sea creatures, spirit races, and other races, either developing clones or establishing sects. There is a very important reason for this, which is to make myself grow into a wise monk like humans. "
Having said that, Heiya paused and looked at the female cultivator jokingly.
"In short, among the many monks who possessed you to absorb nutrients, I discovered that your race is the most cunning and treacherous, and you are very cautious both internally and externally.
It is no wonder that a race with such low-grade attributes can still dominate the mainstream of the cultivation world. This can be seen from Brother Lu. I even doubt whether I have ever seen your true body before. "
“That’s getting off topic.”
The female cultivator frowned, wondering why he was being dragged into this matter.
"Since you want to know why the Five Elements Palace drops things, isn't it just right for us to cooperate? I suspect that the things that fall down have spirituality just like me. If we just catch them, won't the mystery be solved?"
"You know I need spiritual essence to advance. This fallen five-element towering tree is just right for both of us."
Shen Lian naturally wouldn't let Heiya lead him by the nose, but he also didn't want to let Heiya cooperate with other cultivators. This guy was cunning, so it was safer to keep him under his nose.
"Let me be frank. I'm also afraid that the spiritual object that fell down is coming for me, so I want to seek your cooperation."
Hearing this, the female cultivator showed a thoughtful expression and pondered for a moment.
"First find the Five Elements Towering Wood."
"Okay."
Heiya chuckled, "As long as the two of us cooperate, we can kill people in Tiannan."
As he spoke, Heiya glanced at the female cultivator and said, "Brother Lu, do you want a Taoist companion?"
"I have one. If you ask me, I'll bring it to you right away."
"You humans aren't the most fond of other people's Taoist companions."
"It just so happens that I have a human Taoist partner..."
"roll."
Black Cliff screamed and turned into a cloud of dust.
"I am waiting for you at Duyao Mountain in the Western Continent."
Watching the shadow of the black cliff disappear into ashes, the female cultivator licked the corner of her mouth, and then the flying boat under her turned into a stream of light and circled around for several times.
As it wandered, small pieces of sand that were either floating or falling on the gravel were sucked onto the flying boat, and then the flying boat disappeared into the distance.
…
Thousands of miles away, the flying boat suddenly stopped, and the female cultivator who was sitting cross-legged shook and turned into a puppet talisman, and the flying boat was burned to ashes.
Not long after, Shen Lian took out the photo beads that had been scattered before.
After seeing the secret techniques performed by the seven-colored cultivator inside, it turned out to be the same as he thought. Heiya could sense the cultivator with five spiritual roots because of his own special abilities.
However, this secret technique should have a distance limit. Currently, the limit is one thousand miles, the farther the better.
"Five Elements Towering Wood."
After muttering a few words, Shen Lian turned into a stream of light and headed towards the Western Continent.
We still need to look for this spiritual tree. In a short term, it can be used as a resource for cultivation. In the long term, it can help us spy on the Five Elements Immortal Palace, which may be helpful for future cultivation.
The Five Elements Body Possession Method in the world of immortal cultivation was passed down from the Immortal Palace, which formed the trend of body possession. He was also afraid that there was something in the Five Elements Palace that was always thinking about him for no reason.
Shen Lian was not worrying unnecessarily. With his talent and spiritual roots, and the fact that he had now cultivated to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, there was still hope for him to break through to the Divine Transformation stage within a thousand years.
Once you advance to the Divine Transformation Realm, it is equivalent to being at the top of the world of immortal cultivation. At that time, you will inevitably come into contact with matters related to the Five Elements Immortal Palace.
There is no need for him to deliberately contact them, as the relevant matters may come to him first.
Judging from the frequency of the Five Elements Immortal Palace's appearances in recent years, it seems very abnormal.
Now, things are still falling down from time to time. We can't say that the Five Elements Immortal Palace is like the back door of some cultivators. It leaks out after being used too many times, so spiritual objects are falling down.
Instead of passively welcoming it, it would be better to first understand the Five Elements Immortal Palace from the outside. If he can discover something, he can prepare early to avoid being caught off guard.
