Chapter 574 Superposition
Yuan Ming frowned slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he grabbed the air with one hand.
The blue-black tree man's corpse disappeared from the spot in a flash, and the next moment, it appeared in the space of the Heaven Stealing Cauldron.
At the same time, a surprised "eh" sound came from the unknown black space on Sanxian Island.
It seemed that after a while of hesitation, the voice sounded again: "Go to Changqing Garden with a team of wooden emperor guards."
After his voice sounded, there was a rustling sound, mixed with a few vague "yes".
These voices had just quieted down for a while, and there was another voice in the darkness.
"These little things are more noisy than the previous ones. Go to two more teams of wooden emperor guards to deal with the ants in the Gilded Palace and the Black Cloud Tower." The voice sounded again, without much anger in the words, at most a little impatient.
The tone was like a master being annoyed by his pet, and he was a little annoyed, so he asked the housekeeper to teach him a lesson.
After a few vague "yes" responses, the black space fell into silence again.
…
In the space of the Stealing Heaven Cauldron, the immortal black tree that had merged with Yuan Ming for the most part, the roots stretched out by themselves, pierced into the body of the old man of the green black tree like sharp cones, and began to absorb the remaining blood and energy of the bald old man, as well as the unique vitality of the immortal tree.
Yuan Ming's expression moved, but he did not stop it.
The body of the bald old man shrank rapidly, and soon became no different from a dead tree stump.
The leaves and branches of the black immortal tree shook, and it actually grew two or three feet taller.
Yuan Ming was surprised and happy. The blood and energy of the bald old man was so strong that it made the immortal tree grow so much taller!
However, he soon discovered that this was not the case. The immortal tree grew taller not because of the blood of the bald old man, but because of the immortal tree's original spiritual power contained in the blue-black tree.
This spiritual power is the same as Yuan Ming's black immortal tree, which greatly promoted the growth of the black immortal tree.
The black immortal tree grew taller, and the Ju Mang Ling Jue improved a lot.
"Great, there should be other immortal tree puppets on this Penglai Fairy Island. Kill them all and let my immortal tree devour them. Maybe I can push the Ju Mang Ling Jue to the perfect state!" Yuan Ming was secretly happy.
At this moment, the black immortal tree suddenly lit up with a trace of blood, and a strong blood force was transmitted and injected into Yuan Ming's body.
"Is this feeding back?" Yuan Ming was surprised.
In the past, the immortal tree devoured the blood of the monsters and absorbed it all by itself. Now it actually fed back to him. Could this be the effect of the improvement of the Ju Mang Ling Jue?
Although the Qi and blood power transmitted by the black immortal tree was quite pure, Yuan Ming did not absorb it directly. He activated the Shura Blood Devouring Diagram to collect the Qi and blood power transmitted, refined it once, and after confirming that there was no hidden danger, he activated the Demon Elephant Prison-Suppressing Technique to absorb it completely.
This Qi and blood power was very abundant, half of the Qi and blood power of the bald old man. After Yuan Ming absorbed it, he immediately found that his physical cultivation realm had increased a lot.
At the same time, after a short rest, Huazhi and Heizhusou set out to crack the restriction at the entrance of Changqing Garden.
This restriction was quite mysterious, but it could not stop several Yuanying stage beings and was soon broken.
Several people set off again and headed towards the garden.
Yuan Ming's spiritual sense swept towards the gray tree in the woods behind the door, but did not attack it.
This gray tree was most likely placed here by the immortal tree demon. Since he had seen through the details of this thing, he did not need to rush to destroy it, as that would alert the enemy.
The deeper they went into the garden, the more they were amazed. There were spiritual flowers and rare trees everywhere. It didn't look like a dangerous place where an old demon was entrenched, but rather a fairy garden.
The group hurriedly collected them and reaped a lot.
"Master, I gave you all the spiritual herbs and trees before. Please give me the spiritual herbs here. Penglai Island is getting more and more dangerous, and I have to improve my strength." Huazhi communicated with Yuan Ming in his mind.
"Okay." Yuan Ming nodded.
"Thank you, Master." Huazhi showed joy on his face, and directly took root deep into the ground, extracting the rich spiritual power contained in these spiritual trees and herbs from the ground, and the spiritual flowers and herbs withered and died one by one.
Several people continued to move forward and soon came to the central area of the garden. It was shrouded by a yellowish-brown circular formation that looked like an inverted bowl. The spiritual flowers and herbs in it were obviously older, and bursts of rich spiritual energy and fragrance were emanating from it, which made Yuan Ming and his group greedy.
"Is that Nine-Leaf Hundred Ginger Grass? It looks like it's two thousand years old, right?" Black Bamboo Old Man stared at one of the half-human-high purple spiritual herbs with burning eyes, unable to move his eyes away.
"Is that Dragon Blood Ground Sunflower next to the Nine-Leaf Hundred Ginger Grass? The quality is unexpectedly high. This is really a treasure trove." Wan Hua Gu couldn't help but exclaimed.
Others were also surprised.
Yuan Ming's spiritual sense extended and enveloped a tall green tree in the restricted area.
Its crown is round, with densely packed, holly-shaped round leaves growing on it, but the leaf veins are glowing with a faint golden luster, making the whole tree look faintly golden, and four or five dark golden spiritual fruits are hanging on the branches.
"It can't be wrong, this is actually a rare thousand-year-old spiritual source tree." Yuan Ming nodded and said, unable to hide his joy.
This tree is no ordinary species and has a great reputation. Although its real name is the Lingyuan Tree, many cultivators prefer to call it the Jindan Tree because the spiritual fruits on it can greatly increase the cultivator's chances of forming a golden elixir.
Therefore, the Lingyuan fruit, also known as the Golden Pill Fruit, is a treasure that many cultivators are eager to get.
Moreover, the medicinal properties of this fruit are mild, and there is no need to refine pills, and it can be swallowed directly.
It’s a pity that the Lingyuan tree has long been extinct in the Yunhuang Continent. I didn’t expect that there is actually one here.
“There are indeed many natural treasures here. Let’s break the restrictions as soon as possible and take what we need.” Huazhi said at Yuan Ming’s instruction.
“Yes, if we delay, things will change. Everyone hurry up.” Shi Yanshi responded first.
The rest of the people naturally had no objections, so they all took action and began to break the restrictions.
The surface of the yellow bowl-shaped formation protecting this place flashed with spiritual light, and the surrounding ground also lit up with circles of earth-yellow spiritual rhythm formation patterns. The endless power of the earth veins was drawn up and immersed in the shield.
Long Chong took out the war spear magic weapon first, turned the magic power, and rushed up with a rush.
The yellow bowl seemed to have sensed something before his attack arrived. The place where the yellow light was originally, suddenly condensed light and a hexagonal heavy shield appeared.
Long Chong's war spear magic weapon hit the heavy shield without bias, and immediately made a dull "dang" sound.
The tip of the spear triggered a series of sparks on the shield, but failed to pierce it. Instead, it was hit by a sudden surge of huge force and bounced back violently.
Seeing this, Long Chong did not stop, speeding up and attacking from different directions.
But the magic circle seemed to have a sky eye, and every time it could accurately predict his attack movements and perform targeted defenses.
After several unsuccessful attempts, the others also took action.
I saw Shi Yanshi wielding his pen to draw in the air, and a word "break" appeared in the air, turning into a sharp light and hitting the magic circle.
Wan Hua Gu raised her hand and waved, and the flower basket magic weapon in her hand flew out and hit it.
Black Bamboo Old Man shook his wrist, and the long line wrapped around the fishing rod lit up, waving it like a spear and stabbing it out.
Huazhi also rushed forward, and slapped it with both palms.
Wulu also used his magic power and punched forward fiercely.
"Boom boom boom"
The roaring and explosion sounded continuously, and the yellow bowl shield lit up with thick light, and the spiritual light trembled.
But after all the sounds, the shield was still as stable as Mount Tai.
Everyone attacked at the same time, and this forbidden magic circle could also divide into pieces of hexagonal shields to block everyone's attacks one by one, and it was all one-on-one defense, which could be said to be where you attack, I will defend there, and not waste any power elsewhere.
Seeing that the attack could not be taken for a long time, Yuan Ming, as the God of Dark Moon, called on several people to stop first and think carefully.
"Xiying, have you ever seen such a magic circle?" Yuan Ming asked in the Stealing Heaven Cauldron.
"This is somewhat similar to the Eight Directions Return to Origin Formation, but the mechanism seems to be quite different, revealing a bit of weirdness." Xiying heard this and thought for a long time before speaking.
"Oh, how weird is it?" Yuan Ming heard this and asked.
"The Eight Directions Return to Origin Formation is an earth-attributed defensive formation with the eight trigrams. As long as the person attacking the formation stands on the ground, he can sense the formation and determine its location and the direction of the attack. Therefore, the formation will focus on defending the enemy wherever it attacks. However, this type of formation generally requires eight spiritual eyes to be buried in advance, and to be supported by instruments with rich spiritual power, otherwise it will not be able to operate for a long time." Xiying frowned and said so.
"But this formation obviously does not have this problem at the moment. It is obvious that the location of the spiritual eye cannot be detected, but the spiritual power is abundant, and it does not look like it is about to be exhausted?" Yuan Ming understood it at once and said immediately.
"Yes. So this should be a variant of the Eight Directions Return to Origin Formation, but I still need to observe how it changes specifically." Xiying nodded and said.
"I've heard of a superimposed array that connects two arrays, and they are mutually complementary. Do you think this is the case?" Yuan Ming suddenly remembered something and spoke quickly.
"You mean, under this array, there is another array that specifically supplies energy for it? They are mutually complementary and support each other?" Xiying asked with bright eyes.
"Huazhi, go and take a look underground." Yuan Ming did not answer directly, but told Huazhi.
"Okay!" Huazhi responded, and began to take root under his feet and drilled into the ground.
After a while, the ground suddenly shook violently, and bursts of dull roars came from below.
The Eight Directions Return to Origin Array shrouded outside also trembled violently, and the spiritual light was shaking.
Not long after, Huazhi broke out of the ground and regained his human form.
"Master, there is indeed a magic array below that doesn't look very complicated. It is constantly drawing spiritual power from the earth veins to supply the magic array above. Now it has been destroyed by me." Huazhi patted the dirt on his body and replied through the mind.
"Well done." Yuan Ming praised.
After that, he ordered Heizhusou and his men to attack the magic array again.
Although Heizhusou and his men didn't know that Huazhi had managed to destroy the hidden formation below, they also clearly felt that with Huazhi's sudden disappearance and reappearance, the yellow bowl shield seemed to have undergone some changes.
Not long after, the magic array, which was gradually running out of spiritual power, could no longer stop the attacks of several people. Finally, it broke with a bang and turned into dots of starlight and dissipated in the void.
The moment the forbidden magic array broke, a rich fragrance and spiritual energy suddenly came to their faces.
Several people immediately rushed into it and began to search for spiritual flowers and herbs inside.
Yuan Ming had a clear goal. He asked Huazhi to rush directly to the spiritual source tree, dug it up with its roots and soil intact, sent it into the space of the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, and replanted it.
While they were busy, a strong wave of magic power suddenly came from all around.
"Be careful, there is an enemy attack." Huazhi suddenly spoke and reminded.
Wanhua Gu, Shi Yanshi and Heizhu Sou also retreated quickly, and the few people gathered together again.
At this time, the trees around were shaking, and thirty-six tree people in the Jindan stage suddenly appeared from all directions, surrounding all of them in the center.
Then, a gray light lit up on the ground in front of the thirty-six tree people in the Jindan stage, and five more figures emerged from it.
These five people were of different ages and facial shapes, but their skin color was green, and their faces were also wooden expressions, and there was no divine light in their eyes.
However, when Long Chong and others saw them, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
The aura emanating from them was all at the Nascent Soul level. Although they were slightly weaker than Zhao Gui, they were obviously no ordinary people.
