Western Continent, Du Yao Mountain.

Shen Lian invited several local monks to learn about this place.

There is abundant vegetation here. It is said that 30,000 years ago, sweet dew fell from the sky and the vegetation grew wildly, forming an extremely large-scale miracle.

Even in today's era, the area thousands of miles around Duyao Mountain still looks like a vast green earth dragon stretching across the land.

Just based on the condition of abundant vegetation, he guessed why Heiya chose this place.

With Heiya's ability, it is easy for him to control the plants and grasses here. All the plants and grasses may become his spies and spies.

As luck would have it, on that day there was a sudden thunderbolt from the sky, and streams of fire fell from the sky, crashing into the mountains and fields. In a short period of time, they formed fire dragons that swept across the area.

"Villain, villain!"

On the cliff, an old pine tree that looked as twisted as a dragon was swaying. Looking at the black smoke rising into the sky, a cursing voice suddenly came out.

The green and yellow light flickered, and it transformed into a figure that Shen Lian was familiar with, Master Yunlong.

Of course, now we need to call him Master Yunlong.

There was a huge grass and wood fire, with thick smoke billowing. The fire was so big that even the clear sky was blowing up strong winds. It was obvious that someone was fanning the flames.

What else can it be other than Mr. Lu?

Soon, Heiya flew into the air, and his divine consciousness spread in all directions like ripples.

On the top of a tree one thousand five hundred miles away, he sensed Shen Lian and saw Shen Lian waving at him.

"Great Protector, is this how you greet the leader?"

Heiya snorted coldly. Looking at the entire world of immortal cultivation, which disciple would be separated by 1,500 miles when paying a visit to the sect leader?

Although he said so, Heiya calculated quickly in his mind. Judging from the distance, the strength of Shen Lian's spiritual power was close to 230,000 feet.

"Come closer, we are old friends, how could I hurt you?"

Shen Lian watched Heiya emerge from the old pine trees from beginning to end. Yes, he was the one who set the fire all around.

I don't mean anything else, I'm just afraid that Heiya will do something bad.

"Stop talking nonsense. Where is the Five Elements Towering Tree?"

"Come with me."

Heiya didn't say any more, and rushed towards the distance with a ball of green and yellow light.

Unlike what Shen Lian had imagined, where he would break out of the continent, Heiya only flew 20,000 miles before stopping in a valley.

After stopping, he sniffed the fresh air in the valley.

“Yes, that’s the taste.”

As he spoke, Heiya looked at Shen Lian who was following behind him.

"I say, you can't always be thousands of miles away from me, right here, I remember you are an expert in formations, come and take a look."

Above the valley, Shen Lian squinted his eyes and looked at the surrounding mountains.

The mountains here seem to be a series, but each peak exists independently. They are distributed in all directions, forming dozens of valleys and peaks.

"A Thousand Mountains and Valleys Formation."

Soon, he recognized the terrain in front of him. Although the name was very ordinary, this formation was built according to the terrain. It took advantage of the geographical location. Once it was activated, its endurance was extremely strong.

Shen Lian walked around in a circle and found that the number of valleys formed by the mountains around him was far more than the dozens nearby.

The further you go, the more it can be considered part of this huge formation.

"You are the master of wood spirits, what have you figured out?" Shen Lian then asked Heiya.

"I found that the energy of the plants and trees here is concentrated in this valley, but the scene outside is no different from that of ordinary mountains and ravines."

"Look, so many people can't see it, but you and I can. Doesn't this mean that if we work together, we will both benefit?"

The black cliff landed on an old tree and opened its mouth. The old tree suddenly trembled, and a light blue spot appeared during the swaying, which was swallowed by it in one gulp.

In the blink of an eye, the old tree, which had lost its vitality, was blown away by the wind.

"The aura of the Five Elements Towering Tree is lingering nearby. I have been looking for it all the way here, but I couldn't find the final location after several attempts. So I realized that there must be a formation here that blocked my prying eyes."

"How did you know that the Five Elements Towering Tree appeared in the Tiannan Xiuxian Realm?"

Heiya was stunned, but he did not hide it, and said: "I was originally a good ancestor in Yunshang Sect, but I didn't expect to suddenly sense the familiar breath of the Five Elements Towering Wood.

Originally, I had some doubts. After all, this thing grew next to the Five Elements Immortal Tree and was nourished by the immortal tree, unlike me who was born in the mud.

But in the following time, I could faintly sense the aura of this towering five-element tree, and then I realized that something was wrong.

The connection between us spiritual wood creatures is different from that between you humans. The aura of the same origin is a bit similar to the blood inheritance of the demon race.

We have lived in the same place for so many years, and we already have a sense of each other."

"I'm not trying to cause trouble. Is it possible that the Five Elements Towering Tree deliberately attracted you here?"

Shen Lian had a calm expression, without a trace of smile.

In response, Heiya sneered.

"You are right. I have suspected this before. Perhaps this Five Elements Towering Tree wants to capture me, so I came to seek cooperation from Fellow Daoist Lu."

"You and I are from the same boat. This is what you said. I am the leader of the Immortal Spirit Sect, and you are the Great Protector.

If I were caught by the Five Elements Heavenly Tree, I would definitely tell it that there is a top-notch Five Spiritual Root cultivator like you in the world of immortal cultivation."

The larger the area of ​​the Thousand Mountains and Ten Thousand Valleys Formation, the more stable it is. If the person who sets it up is very skilled, a formation space can be formed inside.

"Do you want to take the safer path or the more aggressive path?"

After a long time, Shen Lian looked towards the black cliff.

"Of course it's safer." Heiya was stunned for a moment, "You don't mean to hollow out this place, do you?"

"Smart, find someone to dig it out. You don't have to dig it out completely. I will mark a few locations. As long as you can dig them out, there will be a big hole in this formation."

"No, no, are you a master of formations? Don't you see that in addition to the mountains and valleys, there are also many plants and trees here? This is a method of gathering spirits..."

Heiya paused for a moment, "Is it interesting? You are testing me now."

"The formation here forms a formation space. From the outside, we have no idea what's going on inside. If the Five Elements Towering Wood is really as mysterious as you said, we'd be catching a turtle in a jar if we go in."

"You have studied the human race for so many years. You are trapped in a jar, right? Just like you were trapped in the secret realm of the South China Sea."

While Shen Lian and Heiya were communicating, the Merit Clone was not idle either.

Four thousand miles away from the two people, in another valley, the clone of Merit was embedded deep in the earth, quietly looking at the soil and rocks in front of him.

"Thirty-six... one hundred and seven, one hundred and eight..."

The moment he said the number one hundred and eight, a light green glow suddenly emerged between the earth and rocks.

This light curtain is full of vitality, filled with a vast wood attribute aura that far exceeds the ordinary fourth level.

Deeper in the sky, there was a flash of light in five colors: black, white, green, red and yellow, and the shadow of a towering tree was swaying.

This fluctuation lasts for a very short time and disappears in the blink of an eye.

This situation occurs because the formation or the secret realm spiritual ban is still in the process of adjustment. Once the formation or the spiritual ban is restored, the flaw will be hidden.

Rumor has it that it was a cultivator from the Xuanyou clan who brought this wood to the outside of the Tiannan immortal cultivation world.

At this moment, Shen Lian had another guess, that the Five Elements Towering Tree came here with the help of the cultivators of the Xuanyou clan.

It is extremely easy for a wood-attributed spiritual creature like Heiya to possess a cultivator's body.

If this conjecture is correct, then what the purpose of the Five Elements Towering Wood is is what he wants to find out.

But don’t do it just for the cultivators with five spiritual roots.

…

"What do you think? In my opinion, we should just charge in directly. If this spiritual tree is really strong, it wouldn't resort to so many tricks.

Now that it has surrounded itself, it means that it is not strong enough and can only rely on external objects.

If we wait a little longer, it may be ready.”

What Heiya said was not without reason. He had not studied in vain over the years and had completely adapted to the ways of the human race.

But for Shen Lian, this kind of reckless behavior is a bit unsuitable for him.

He is good at planning before taking action. It would be best if he could figure out the cause and effect. If not, he would hide in the dark and see if he can reap the benefits.

"Hurry up, stop dawdling. Open the door for me. I'll go in first and then you."

As time went by, Heiya became a little impatient.

"good!"

Shen Lian looked at Heiya for a while and nodded.

"I'll try to open a crack, and we'll fight our way in."

As he spoke, he fumbled in his storage ring and pulled out a formation plate covered with lightning patterns.

If you want to know which method is best for breaking the formation, the divine thunder is the best.

The thunder disk was thrown high up, and then thunder exploded in the clear sky. Thunder dragons gathered from all directions, forming a colorful lightning light, which gathered on the thunder disk and smashed down towards the valley below.

“Buzz!”

However, at the moment when the divine thunder fell.

A green light emerged from the valley and began to cover an area of ​​a thousand miles, even Shen Lian's face was covered by the green light.

The lightning tore through the green light, and a long and narrow hole in space emerged in the valley.

"Five Elements Towering Wood, it turns out to be you, old man!"

Inside the crack, a huge tree was swaying, with two figures that looked like they were hanged hanging on the branches, swaying gently with the branches.

"Little Tree Root, long time no see."

"Such a pure five-element power that has actually evolved into the power of yin and yang."

"The Five Elements give rise to Yin and Yang. Your Excellency will surely like it."

“I didn’t expect to have such an unexpected gain.”

At the moment the lightning fell, Shen Lian had already dodged and fled far away, but after catching the echoing sound, his figure suddenly disappeared into the depths of the earth.

Just based on these few sentences, it can be seen that Heiya did not tell the truth before. This old guy's credibility is really like mud.

When he appeared again, Shen Lian had turned into an incarnation of merit.
