Chapter 136: Wood Heart After that, Xu Hui tried a few more times, but the result was...
After that, Xu Hui tried several more times, but the results were the same. No matter what plants she brought to the planting space, they would eventually become desertified and disappear, returning to their starting point.
They also don't look very good, as if their vitality has been sucked away and they can't muster up any energy.
Xu Hui had no choice but to extract some vitality from the plants in the space and pass it on to them.
Soon, the five-colored flowers and other plants regained their spirits and became enthusiastic towards Xu Hui again. It was so realistic.
Xu Hui rolled her eyes, realizing that without the plant contract technique provided by the system, it would be almost impossible to take them away!
But the types of things she can learn are very limited, and she only has so many points. She has to make a choice between who to contract and who not to contract!
The first plant spirit she chose was the Daotian Wood, for no other reason than that this plant was the easiest to produce Wood Spirit Crystals.
In order to contract the Guixu grass seeds, she had used up all the water and wood spirit crystals rewarded by the system, and she felt sad for a long time.
Now that I have the opportunity, I will naturally find ways to collect more.
Although hundreds of Daotian trees may not be able to produce a wood spirit crystal, this is a Daotian tree that has become a spirit. I think it is different from other ordinary spiritual plants, right?
Open the system learning space and directly consume 25 points to learn the method of contracting Dao Tianmu.
After learning it, she was confused.
This is a set of spell contracts. Use spiritual power to draw patterns and then hit Dao Tianmu directly.
Then Dao Tianmu will willingly follow her, is it that simple?
Impossible! If it were that simple, why would she need to learn? As long as they could communicate, Dao Tianmu would be willing to follow her. It's not like they hadn't tried before.
Xu Hui frowned, waved her fingers gently, and according to the formulas taught by the system, began to outline complex and mysterious spiritual patterns in the void.
These lines shimmer with a faint light, like the brightest stars in the night sky, or like the endless wisdom contained in ancient runes.
She was fully focused, and spiritual power gushed out from her dantian like a spring, flowing along her fingers, and finally condensed into those delicate spiritual power contract lines.
As the lines gradually took shape, the surrounding air seemed to vibrate, and an ancient and solemn atmosphere spread.
Daotianmu felt this breath, and the branches and leaves of the tree, which had been standing quietly by the side, began to sway gently. A faint light flowed on the trunk, echoing the spiritual power patterns drawn by Xu Hui.
Xu Hui finished outlining the last stroke of spiritual power.
At that moment, the entire space seemed to freeze, and all sounds and movements stopped.
Immediately afterwards, a brilliant light burst out from the contract pattern between Dao Tianmu and Xu Hui, tightly wrapping the man and the wood.
In the light, Xu Hui seemed to see the countless years that Daotianmu had gone through, from being a seed to giving birth to intelligence, and then transforming into a monster.
Then life stops at a certain moment and has no further progress, as if time has frozen.
It tries to break free from its constraints, but ultimately fails, and can only remain in a daze and let things develop.
Until a figure appeared, it felt close and happy, and wanted to follow her, so it took the initiative to show up and sway its body enthusiastically.
When Xu Hui saw the figure, she was speechless for a long time.
A humanoid plant...is this how Dao Tianmu sees her?
The contract was completed without any surprises.
Is this all right now? Xu Hui thought uncertainly, but she moved quickly and brought the Daotian Wood into the space again and planted it.
The next second, a similar scene happened again. The Daotian wood gradually turned into sand and was useless!
No, this time it's different!
Xu Hui felt a pulling sensation, and she seemed to have turned into an intelligent plant, and her body was gradually pulled out of this space by the sand.
She suddenly opened her eyes and the scene before her shocked her heart.
This is a strange space, surrounded by endless desert. In the desert, there are hundreds of Daotian trees standing. They are of various shapes and lush branches and leaves, but at this moment they are all attacking her with their fangs and claws, as if they want to eat her alive.
Among them, one looked particularly listless, its leaves gradually turning yellow. It was the monster she had contracted before.
Could it be that the purpose of the contract technique in the system space is to establish a connection and allow her to be teleported here?
This is where the Daotianmu's real body is. Could it be that the space full of monsters before is where their consciousness is trapped?
She had only brought the spirit's consciousness into the planting space, not its body, so it had no effect. Did the desertification return to its starting point?
Just as she was thinking, the Daotian trees were approaching, their branches and leaves like swords, sharp and sharp.
Xu Hui did not dare to be careless. She circulated her spiritual power and transformed it into a spiritual shield to protect her body.
The branches and leaves of the Daotian trees hit the shield, making crisp sounds, but failed to penetrate at all.
The Daotian trees did not give up and intensified their attacks. Branches and leaves flew, sand and dust flew, and the entire space seemed to be turned upside down by this powerful force.
Xu Hui's figure flashed, and he shuttled between the Daotian trees like a ghost. His hands kept forming seals, releasing spiritual power balls one after another, blasting towards the Daotian trees around him.
The spiritual power ball exploded in the air, turning into spiritual power fragments all over the sky, as dazzling as stars.
When these spiritual power fragments came into contact with the branches and leaves of the Daotian Tree, they instantly released powerful destructive force, knocking down the branches and leaves one after another.
The Daotian trees seemed to be enraged, twisting their bodies wildly, as if they wanted to pull themselves out of the sand to chase Xu Hui. Their force was so great that sand and rocks flew everywhere.
Xu Hui frowned slightly. These plants were extremely violent and did not have the gentle characteristics of plants at all.
She tried to form seals quickly and contract them.
However, it failed. The contract technique learned in the system space not only failed to contract them, but instead intensified them.
The tall trees, as if controlled by some evil force, madly absorbed the spiritual energy around them, and their branches and leaves expanded rapidly, as if they were about to explode.
The air was filled with strong spiritual fluctuations, causing the entire space to tremble.
Oh no, they are going to die together!
Xu Hui felt a chill in her heart, and she quickly formed seals with her hands, quickly drawing vitality from the space.
A vibrant breath surged out of her body, turning into ripples that spread out in all directions.
This force seemed to collide with the energy in the air, like the collision of two stars, erupting with dazzling light and deafening roar.
It seemed as if countless invisible sharp blades were cutting through the air, and the fluctuations of spiritual power were as surging as a raging ocean.
Xu Hui stood at the center of the power and felt an irresistible force suddenly coming at her, as if to tear her into pieces.
Her face changed and she quickly mobilized all the spiritual power in her body to strengthen the defense of the spiritual power shield.
After a while, the entire space returned to calm. The scene in front of him was a mess. Most of the Daotian trees were blown to pieces and scattered all over the ground. Only a few of them were left standing crookedly.
However, miraculously, the monster tree she had contracted was intact.
Xu Hui walked forward and looked around the tree trunk. Apart from being a little wilted, there was indeed no scar at all.
After thinking about it, she put her hand on it and tried to communicate.
Dao Tianmu was very easy to talk to and immediately agreed to leave with her, even a little impatient.
However, Xu Hui felt something was wrong, very wrong!
She suddenly looked back and saw that the trees that had fallen to the ground and broken into pieces had returned to their original state without her noticing, and had quietly changed positions, surrounding her.
Xu Hui's heart tightened. These trees could actually be reborn, so she hurried to check them carefully.
Every tree looked unusually alive, with lush branches and leaves, as if the devastating explosion had never happened.
The roots of these trees are extremely developed and deeply rooted in the ground, as if absorbing some kind of abundant power.
Moreover, there was a faint spiritual light flickering among their branches and leaves. This spiritual light was different from the violent power she had felt before. It carried a hint of warmth and breath of life.
Xu Hui's heart moved. Daotianmu naturally could not be an evil thing. It must have been stimulated and influenced by some force and became so violent.
The monster tree that she had successfully contracted before was perhaps immune to the influence of this power because of the contractual relationship it had established with her.
In order to verify his guess, Xu Hui decided to try to communicate with these Daotian trees again.
She closed her eyes, concentrated, and felt the pulse of each tree with her heart.
At first, she could only feel chaos and noise, but as time went on, she gradually caught a faint message that seemed to be asking for help.
Xu Hui suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes full of surprise.
Because through the perception of Daotianmu, she discovered that there was a very strange formation deep underground.
That formation can stimulate the potential of plants, allowing them to grow rapidly and quickly condense strength, thereby... giving birth to wood spirit crystals!
However, the stimulation of the formation was too strong, causing the Daotian trees to be unable to bear it and become extremely violent.
It is precisely this formation that allows them to quickly enter reincarnation and experience the entire process from seed to growth to old age and death in a short period of time!
In fact, it is not rebirth, but reproduction and replacement in a short period of time!
So, is that formation related to time acceleration? Xu Hui thought uncertainly.
With her limited knowledge of formations and the insights Wei Mubai had cultivated in a short period of time, she could only explore these contents.
However, she was very clear about one thing: Daotianmu, a fifth-level sacred tree with special effects, was at least considered a natural treasure.
This formation can actually give birth instantly and catalyze the production of wood spirit crystals. The energy used must be extremely precious!
Who set up this formation here, the owner of the secret realm, the ancient god?
After a little thought, she decided to take a look. Whether it was the formation, the energy to activate the formation, or the wood spirit crystal, they were all good things. It would be a big profit to get any of them. It would be a pity to miss them.
But she did not act rashly. She first put on the shark silk robe, equipped all the defensive equipment, and prepared the teleportation talisman. Then she took a deep breath and formed seals with her hands.
The spiritual power in the body surged, turning into streams of ochre light, instantly enveloping the whole body.
Before entering the secret realm, she spent all her time practicing the "Chaos Light Body Technique". Her efforts paid off and she has now mastered it.
As she performed the Earth Escape Technique, she became one with the earth. Her figure gradually disappeared into the sand, leaving only circles of tiny ripples spreading across the surface of the sand.
As they sank rapidly, the light around them became dimmer and dimmer, but with the help of the "Chaos Light Body Technique", Xu Hui's eyes could see things in the darkness as clearly as in the daytime.
Under the sand, besides the sand, there are countless Daotianmu tree roots. These roots are extremely thick, like sleeping dragons, quietly guarding this mysterious underground space.
She carefully moved among the intricate tree roots, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Because she always felt that these tree roots were not dead things, and even gave her a faint sense of foreboding.
And this aura was similar to the one she felt from Dao Tianmu who had just attacked her.
If nothing unexpected happens, under certain conditions, these tree roots may also turn into violent warriors!
There were so many tree roots under the sand, everywhere she looked, so densely packed. If they were really activated, she would be in real danger.
Therefore, she concealed the aura around her body and concentrated all her attention, for fear of irritating them.
After sinking for a while, I finally felt a faint and strange wave.
This fluctuation is similar to the formation energy sensed previously, but it is softer and contains enormous and abundant power.
Xu Hui's heart moved, and she continued to go deeper along the wave. Gradually, she discovered a hidden space surrounded by tree roots.
However, the scene she saw before her shocked her so much that she was stunned!
In the center of the space, a huge bluestone emitting a lustrous white light stood quietly. On the bluestone, complex and ancient runes were engraved. It was these runes that continuously released the strange fluctuations.
The tremendous power derived from these runes carved out a huge dotted line formation, which was the ancient formation that accelerated time and gave birth to Daotianmu!
That blue stone is the legendary Wood-Ying Stone. Wrapped within the indestructible stone is the heart of wood, which can give birth to any plant. Even a spiritual creature like Guixu grass can sprout with just one drop of its essence!
Let’s put it this way, the Chaos Green Lotus of the prehistoric period grew on the Muyun Stone Mountain, absorbing the majestic energy of the Heart of Wood within it to grow.
This is basically a treasure of the same level as Xirang. The characteristic of Xirang is that it is endless and never-ending, but the spiritual power contained in it is not rich enough to give birth to spiritual creatures of heaven and earth.
But if the heart of wood is added, the situation will be completely different. It can completely give birth to innate spiritual treasures such as the Pure World Green Lotus.
It can be seen that the preciousness of the Heart of Wood is far greater than that of the Wood Spirit Crystal!
And in the huge wood-containing stone before us, there must be countless wood hearts!
Xu Hui was extremely shocked, and at the same time she was deeply confused. What was the brain of that ancient god like?
Isn't it a waste of resources to use such a precious wood heart to give birth to Daotian Wood?
But to say that he is not smart and has little knowledge is absolutely impossible!
Just carving runes on the wood-enhancing stone is extremely difficult.
The solid stone on the surface of Muyun Stone is the hardest stone in the world, without a doubt. Neither metal nor spiritual power, magic or other energies can affect it.
That's why the Heart of Wood is so precious, because unless something unexpected happens, the Heart of Wood will only be wrapped in the Wood Yun Stone.
The Mu Yun Stone is so hard that it cannot be broken by any means, and it does not have a uniform shape. It cannot be seen from the outside, and it is even more difficult to find. This is the Mu Yun Stone that contains precious treasures!
Xu Hui could recognize that it was the genius ancient god who not only carved runes on the wood stone, but also guided the energy of the heart of wood and drew it into a formation!
What a genius idea and monstrous strength it takes to perform such a shocking and brilliant operation!
Venerable Quinin's attainments in formations are enough to make most cultivators envious of him, but even such a genius still needs the help of a medium, such as a puppet, when engraving the formations.
This great figure actually drew out the energy directly and even drew up the formation without causing the energy to dissipate.
What’s even more amazing is that the energy aura of the Wood Heart is completely hidden, as if the Wood Stone is still intact, firmly locking the Wood Heart.
The energy that Xu Hui felt before was from the runes on the bluestone and had nothing to do with the Heart of Wood.
Even though she was standing in front of the Mu Yun Stone, with her natural affinity for plants, she was completely unaware of the existence of the Wood Heart.
This makes us sigh at the power of the great god.
What kind of ingenious method must be used to achieve such a level? !
Such a person is naturally not stupid, and will not do business at a loss. Then why did he use the Heart of Wood to engrave the time formation and give birth to Daotian Wood?
Xu Hui couldn't figure it out. After all, the thoughts of the ancient gods were beyond the reach of a newbie like her who had traveled through time and space.
But there is one thing she is sure of, the new secret realm is indeed an extraordinary opportunity!
Just after entering the secret realm, I encountered such a terrifying treasure as the Heart of Wood!
Who knows how many extremely precious treasures are waiting for them in that entire secret cave. No wonder the entire cultivation world is in an uproar. Only a fool would not come for such an opportunity.
Xu Hui took a few deep breaths to suppress her heart that was about to jump out of her chest with excitement.
The question now is, how can she get this great treasure, Mu Yunshi?
The heart of wood contained in it can bring about earth-shaking changes in her space!
If she could get Xirang again...tsk tsk tsk, she couldn't even imagine the scene!
Taking another deep breath, Xu Hui tried to wrap the wooden stone with her spiritual power and bring it into the space, but found that it was bounced back as soon as it got close. Fortunately, her movements were gentle and the force of the bounce was weak.
But her behavior seemed to have triggered the formation, and she keenly felt that the entire underground was ready to move.
Looking back, she was horrified to find that the dragon-like tree roots had come alive and were waving their rough dead wood towards her.
He hurriedly displayed his skills, his figure moving through the sand like a ghost, his hands quickly forming seals, and streams of blazing flames gushed out from his palms, transforming into violent heat waves that swept around.
However, when these flames touched the surrounding sand, they seemed to be swallowed up by an invisible force. Most of them were absorbed, leaving only a faint trace of fire flickering in the sand.
After being attacked by the remaining flames, the tree roots only trembled slightly and continued to wave towards Xu Hui, completely unharmed.
"What... is going on?!" Xu Hui was shocked. She had never seen such strange sand that could absorb magical attacks.
She immediately changed her gestures and cast other spells, first trying the ice-freezing technique to freeze the surrounding sand into ice and restrict the movement of the tree roots.
However, the sands seemed to have their own will. The moment they came into contact with the ice spiritual power, they melted and turned into pools of clear water. They were then quickly absorbed by other sands and returned to their original state.
Then, Xu Hui used the art of thunder and lightning, trying to attack the tree roots with powerful electric currents.
However, the sands once again demonstrated their amazing absorption ability, absorbing almost all of the power of thunder and lightning, leaving only a few faint electric sparks flashing in the air.
These sands are definitely not ordinary things. Could it be that it is because of their existence that the energy of the Heart of Wood has not been leaked out at all?
While she was thinking, the tree roots were approaching like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey, and each blow carried incredible force, as if they wanted to devour her completely.
Xu Hui had to deal with it with all her might, leaping and dodging between the tree roots with nimble movements, trying to avoid their crazy stirring.
But even though she was proficient in earth escape techniques, it was difficult for her to completely avoid the attacks of hundreds of tree roots.
When she failed to dodge in time, a thick tree root suddenly hit her protective aura. With a crisp "crack", the top-grade defensive magic weapon she was carrying was shattered by the blow and turned into a little bit of aura that dissipated in the sand.
Xu Hui's brows darkened, knowing that the sand was the best defense for the tree roots. If she fought with them here, she wouldn't be able to hurt them at all, and she would just be running around in exhaustion!
It would be better to go back to the ground first, lure them out, and then burn them with fire. This will definitely double the efficiency.
She did it as soon as she thought of it. She immediately took out her natal Wanxiang Sword and stabbed it straight at the tree roots above.
In an instant, under the destructive power of the Wanxiang Sword, the dragon-like roots turned into sand and merged into the surrounding sand.
Xu Hui paused, having a bad feeling in her heart. Could it be that... this endless sand was formed after the roots of the Daotianmu tree died?
What on earth is this thing? It is made from the ashes of Daotian wood and can absorb all energy?
If this desert is full of the ashes of Daotianmu, then how many Daotianmu trees have died here and how many roots have been buried?
I dare not even think about it!
What exactly does that ancient god want to do?
Unable to figure it out, Xu Hui simply stopped thinking about it. He tightly gripped the Wanxiang Sword, and the sword light was like a dragon, cutting through the sand and hitting the tree roots that were raging like giant dragons.
Every time the sword was swung, it was accompanied by the roar of tree roots breaking, and hundreds of tree roots were turned into powder under her sword.
Finally, Xu Hui broke through the blockade of the tree roots, leaped up, and soared into the sky.
However, just as she was about to rush out of the ground, the faint sound of conversation in the distance exploded in her ears like thunder.
"Let's go quickly. I see a Daotian tree over there. Maybe we can collect some precious Wood Spirit Crystals there."
Xu Hui's heart tightened. The wood spirit crystal was secondary. The matter of the plant spirit must not be exposed!
She changed direction without hesitation, and with lightning speed, she rushed to the side of the Daotian wood monster that was obviously different from the others.
He raised his hand and made a gesture, and a brilliant light gushed out from his palm, like a huge light shield, tightly surrounding the entire tree.
He silently chanted the spell in his heart, and a flash of inspiration appeared. He took the Daotian Wood Spirit with him and turned into a stream of light, escaping straight into the plant space.
At the same time, the monks who were speeding over from a distance vaguely caught a glimpse of a figure flashing by. They immediately reacted, "Someone has gotten there first, be alert!"
Xu Hui was startled and was about to take action when she unexpectedly saw an acquaintance in the crowd.
