Chapter 216: Big Gamble "I can help you," Xu Hui said anxiously...
"I can help you," Xu Hui said anxiously.
"No, child, this is our own choice," Tree Face said slowly, as if he didn't care about death at all, and was indifferent and detached, as if death was the most normal thing.
Xu Hui was so anxious that her face turned red, but she couldn't find the words to persuade him.
These were old monsters who had lived for tens of thousands of years. How could a young girl like her, who had just started out, convince them?
She was so anxious that tears came to her eyes, but she sobbed and couldn't utter a single powerful word.
"Roar——" Qilin roared angrily, seeming quite dissatisfied.
The force of the explosion caused all the flowers, plants and trees to fall to the ground, and even some fruits flew into the sky.
However, despite this earth-shattering noise, Tree Face merely moved his lips and said perfunctorily, "You're already dead, why are you still so irritable?"
"Roar——" Qilin was furious and howled even more angrily.
Now, some plants that had not taken deep roots were blown away. They had no choice but to transform in mid-air and fly back slowly.
"What's there to be angry about? We old monsters have lived for tens of thousands of years and have lived enough," said Tree Face with a smile.
After saying this, he ignored the enraged Qilin and said to Xu Hui, "Don't feel burdened. Take those seeds with you and go. When you ascend, plant them in the immortal realm. It will also be a blessing."
"But I..." Xu Hui choked, feeling ashamed and guilty. She had enjoyed countless benefits and preferential treatments, but was powerless to save them.
Millions of lives! Was she just going to watch them die here?
"You should learn to let go. Practicing Taoism is about improving yourself, not others," Shu Lian's voice was filled with a sense of indifference that transcended the world, like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart hard.
What does my life or death have to do with you?
My choice, you have no right to interfere!
This is the attitude of the plant spirits!
Xu Hui was the one chosen and favored by Qilin, who wanted her to help his "children".
But the monsters preferred Qilin and were willing to follow it through life and death, rather than Xu Hui.
She will not receive any preferential treatment here, nor will she be treated differently!
Xu Hui closed her eyes and spoke with difficulty, "I understand!" Respecting the fate of others and understanding personal choices are the principles she needs to learn.
"These are of no use to us, so I'll give them to you," Tree Face said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, countless rare flowers, fruits, branches, leaves and even roots flew into Xu Hui's space, piling up into a mountain, like a majestic treasure mountain.
These are all rare treasures shed from the bodies of monsters. They may be useless to them, but to Xu Hui, they are inestimable wealth.
Each of them is a rare spiritual plant that is tens of thousands of years old, and most of them have disappeared from the world of cultivation.
It is estimated that even the immortals in thousands of worlds do not have a collection as rich as hers!
But Xu Hui lost the joy of obtaining the huge treasure and only felt heavy.
At this moment, she suddenly felt fortunate that there was still reincarnation. Next time, she would definitely not look for Qilin Huipo.
As long as Wei Mubai can figure it out, he won't forget the information he gets, so there is no need for them to pay it again.
She really couldn't bear such a heavy gift. It was like a huge mountain pressing on her back, making it hard to breathe.
She took a few deep breaths and quickly found the Taoist spiritual fruits from the spiritual plants piled up like a huge mountain. There were more than 3,000 of them, all grown on the same tree, and their energy was pure.
After getting the things, she said goodbye immediately, as she was too embarrassed to stay here any longer.
Qilin Huipo didn't know what he was thinking, and he was angrily unwilling to pay attention to them.
The tree face laughed and suddenly spit out a green light, which shot accurately into Xu Hui's eyebrows.
Xu Hui was suddenly startled and checked immediately, but there was nothing abnormal in either her body or her sea of consciousness. The green light seemed to have evaporated out of thin air, leaving no trace.
She was worried and hurried to look at the tree's face, but found that the weather-beaten face had quietly disappeared.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the big tree seems to have added some traces of time, revealing a sense of withered and decay.
And those fruit spirits that were originally hanging on the treetops were now flashing with various colors of light one after another, as if some kind of power was flowing back into the tree trunks from their bodies.
Immediately afterwards, these fruits seemed to have lost moisture, becoming shriveled and dull, losing their vitality and spirit.
Seeing this, Xu Hui hurriedly took two steps forward, wanting to find out what was going on, but unexpectedly, she was rolled up by the Qilin's long tongue and instantly brought back to the glacier.
She asked anxiously, "What happened to Tree Face?"
However, Qilin seemed to ignore it, and its whole body exuded an unprecedented manic aura, and it suddenly pounced towards the Netherworld Cold Flame.
Being directly led into the formation, it became extremely violent and rushed around recklessly. Even Venerable Xuanjian almost couldn't control the formation.
Xu Hui was worried, but she really didn't want to go through what happened before again, so she had to figure out how to get Qilin to the Endless Abyss first.
As for whether it was the soul or the power that was lost, she was too tired to think about it and could not change anything. She immediately activated the teleportation talisman and handed the storage bag full of Taoist spiritual fruits to Wei Yuan.
Among these people, he has the most free time. What's more, he is in the Mahayana stage. After leaving the glacier, there is no barrier blocking him. He can directly tear through the space and cross to the entrance of the secret realm in one step. It would be best for him to deliver the spiritual fruit.
Outside the secret realm, with the concerted efforts of the ten great families, the ancient spiritual treasure, the Thunder Controlling Divine Gang, has been properly placed, and the Thunder Controlling Array has been completed in a very short time.
What remains is to wait for the Mahayana cultivators to bring out a sufficient number of Taoist spiritual plants from the secret realm.
In order to persuade the ten great families and the Mahayana cultivators to take action, Wei Muheng immediately made an oath to the heavens, sacrificing his own soul and the Wei family's luck for tens of thousands of years, so the speed was so fast.
The heads of the aristocratic families carried out the plan without hesitation, and those Mahayana cultivators, after learning of the existence of the cycle, did not hesitate to sacrifice themselves and almost all of them went out.
The entire secret realm was plowed almost in one day.
The entire secret realm, whether it is the hidden dangers or the rich resources, has been summarized one by one by them, forming an extremely detailed resource list.
At the same time, the forbidden areas in the secret realm are clearly divided into different levels according to the degree of danger.
It can be said that at this time, they knew this secret place very well and there was no need to explore it any further.
Unfortunately, however, they only found more than thirty Taoist spiritual plants.
Even more unfortunately, due to the long-term closure of the secret realm and the lack of the baptism of thunder tribulation, the Taoist rules attached to these spiritual plants are gradually dissipating.
This means that their energy is not enough and has little effect on repairing the backlash suffered by Wei Muheng.
Moreover, although the setting of the Thunder Control Divine Gang and the Thunder Control Array can largely share the pressure on Wei Muheng, preventing him from being directly killed by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder.
However, those Mahayana cultivators who helped him share the pressure not only had to face the bombardment of the mysterious thunder, but also had to endure the torture of backlash.
Even if the damage they suffered was only one thousandth of Wei Muheng's, the problem was that none of them could be sure whether Wei Mubai and others' plan would succeed.
If the plan failed, they would still need to deal with Qilin. However, the existence of the Backlash would greatly reduce their combat effectiveness by half.
Even if the plan succeeds and they survive by chance, if they want to survive the future thunder tribulation and ascend to heaven, they must first heal the backlash.
Otherwise, the damage would leave them exposed to the thunderstorm and they would end up dying tragically without a burial place.
This is like having a criminal record and still having to show up in front of the police. If you don't die, who will?
However, after searching the entire secret realm and adding all the collections in the cultivation world, there are less than a hundred Taoist spiritual plants.
Are we just going to watch so many Mahayana cultivators get into trouble?
For a moment, the parliament hall was extremely dull.
Thousands of Mahayana cultivators are the vital forces that ensure this cultivation world has a place in the fairy world. Are they going to be sacrificed in vain?
The Jiang family head hesitated and asked, "Is there no other way?"
"There is another way, which is to sacrifice souls to conceal the secrets of heaven. This does not require a high level of cultivation, and any mortal can do it. The sacrifices are only a hundred thousand mortals," the Yuchi family said lightly.
“No!”
The others spoke out at the same time, asking mortals to sacrifice themselves while they, the cultivators, hid behind the scenes. This was absolutely impossible!
Seeing Wei Mubai sitting with his eyes closed and an indifferent expression, the head of the Wen family couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Wei, what do you say?"
He started this matter, and others cooperated. He naturally decided what to do and how to do it.
Wei Muheng slowly opened his eyes, his eyes calm and composed. He glanced at everyone present with indifference and said in a deep voice, "At three quarters past midnight, those who enter the formation will do so voluntarily. If you fail, you will die!"
After saying this, he said no more, closed his eyes again, and began to meditate, trying his best to repair the backlash that had always existed in his body.
Although this amount of time is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for repair, it is worth it even if it can only improve the condition a little bit.
After all, when it comes to derivation, a slight mistake can lead to a huge error, and a slight difference can lead to completely different results.
Seeing this, the others were silent for a moment, then took out their communication jade tokens, issued orders in the name of their families, and informed the entire world of cultivation: all Mahayana cultivators were required to voluntarily join the formation.
The order was concise and clear, without mentioning the danger, because everyone was aware of the danger.
Likewise, no benefits were mentioned, as those potential benefits had long been a consensus in the cultivation world.
As long as the world of cultivation still exists and the ten great families still exist, the families of those Mahayana cultivators who are brave enough to sacrifice will be fully supported and become new first-class families without being suppressed in any way.
As for whether they can become a super family like the top ten families after being promoted to the first-class level, it depends on the efforts of their family members themselves.
At present, a first-class family needs at least three Mahayana cultivators and ten Spirit Severing cultivators to take charge.
In other words, sacrificing one, training three, and giving away ten possibilities, the cost is not only huge, it is astronomical.
What's more, more than half of these sacrificed Mahayana monks came from the ten major families.
It can be said that this sacrifice was a serious blow to the ten major families!
The Wei family made the greatest sacrifice among them. They gambled on the merits, luck and lives accumulated by the entire clan over tens of thousands of years.
The probability of success is less than one in a thousand.
However, this madman Wei Muheng chose this path without hesitation and gambled on the one thousandth chance just because of Wei Mubai's words.
If they win, the Wei family will prosper from then on, and their merits will be immeasurable. It will not be a problem for them to be passed down for tens of thousands of years.
If they lose, all the members of the Wei family will die, and the Wei family will disappear from the world!
