Chapter 561: The Memory of the Tongtian Divine Tree
Fang Mu didn't expect that he would be despised.
But after thinking about it, he felt that what Jiang Yao said made sense.
His training time was too short, and he was able to make rapid progress one after another. It took most of the time to raise his level to the point where he could fight against Yasheng.
He really has no experience in studying the means of secretly calculating others.
Fang Mu thought for a while and then asked: "In that case, how can I be sure that you won't plot against me secretly?"
When Jiang Yao heard this question, her pretty face suddenly became too entangled.
She could actually come up with several reasons to answer casually.
For example, she was born from pure water and would not easily have evil thoughts.
For another example, she never took the initiative to harm any Yasheng in the last era.
However, she also knew that Fang Mu would not listen to this explanation.
Fang Mu was not from her era, did not understand her origins or her past, and would never believe such words.
What's even more troublesome is that a strong man like Fang Mu, who has grown up rapidly in the face of adversity, will not easily pin his own safety on the kindness of the other party.
Jiang Yao thought for a long time, and finally could only pout and say:
"What we signed is not a life and death alliance, we just deal with those old guys who bully me.
Even if I want to plot against you, you will not be in a desperate situation.
At that time, I will be liquidated by those old guys.
You don't think I'd be stupid enough to do such a thing, do you? "
After Fang Mu pondered for a moment, he shook his head and said: "This alliance does not seem to be dangerous.
If it only involved the two of us, I wouldn't have so many questions.
But there are four other sub-sages involved with you.
I still want to be more secure. "
Fang Mu paused for a moment when he said this, and then asked: "There were countless immortal arts in the last era. Isn't there a way to win my trust?"
Jiang Yao suddenly felt a little bad after hearing this.
She said with a confused look on her face: "How can any Yasheng study the magic of gaining people's trust?
Even if there is such magic, it is most likely developed by the kind of immortal who often deceives people so that no one dares to believe it.
Do you want to form an alliance with that kind of person? "
Fang Mu thought for a moment and said, "It makes sense.
But this time, after all, you are the one who took the initiative to seek an alliance with me, so you still have to show some sincerity. "
Jiang Yao pursed her lips and said, "I gave you the concept of the Heaven-reaching Sacred Tree a few months ago, allowing you to clean up Huixiantian's grievances. Isn't my sincerity enough?"
Fang Mu said without hesitation: "Not enough!"
Jiang Yao: "..."
She looked at Fang Mu, who seemed to be naturally expressionless, and her chest heaved violently.
Fang Mu didn't ask her to prove her sincerity, he simply wanted to take advantage of her.
At this moment, Jiang Yao didn't even want to talk to this guy.
But when she thought of those Yashengs who were guarding outside her own realm and had been extracting their own power, she hesitated again.
Jiang Yao was silent for a while, then sighed softly and said:
"I have been silent in the void for hundreds of thousands of years, and I really can't come up with anything that makes your heart move.
The most I can do is to help you hide the fluctuations when you annex Huixiatian.
If I use this condition in exchange for you to help me get out of trouble, this deal will not be a loss for you. "
Fang Mu had a vague feeling that there might really be nothing left to squeeze out of Jiang Yao.
But he thought for a while and continued: "Then how can I be sure that you won't take the opportunity to blackmail me while you are helping me conceal my aura?"
This question made Jiang Yao silent again.
What she actually wanted to say was that as long as there were favorable conditions when signing the contract, she would never violate it.
But she also knew that Fang Mu would not believe in a sub-sage's contract.
Jiang Yao was silent for a moment, then pointed to the sapling of the Tongtian Sacred Tree with a look of reluctance and said, "You can ask it!"
Fang Mu was slightly startled and said, "You mean, ask about the Tongtian Sacred Tree?"
Jiang Yao nodded and said: "This branch of the Heaven-reaching Divine Tree has chosen to take root in your Canglang Realm, which means that it has put everything on you.
It won't lie to you! "
There is nothing wrong with these words.
As the Lord of Canglang Realm, Fang Mu has extremely strong control over the Heaven-reaching Sacred Tree that has taken root in Canglang Realm.
But he was still a little confused and said: "Can the Babel Sacred Tree tell whether you are lying to me?"
Jiang Yao did not continue to explain, but sketched it in front of her with her illusory fingertips.
After a while, there was a visualization picture in front of her.
She pointed at this visualization picture and said: "If you visualize this picture, you can get a glimpse of the memory of the Divine Tree that reaches the sky.
Your superiors will know then whether I lied to you or not. "
Fang Mu still had some doubts in his heart, but Jiang Yao obviously didn't intend to continue explaining.
He could only suppress the doubts in his heart and examine the visualization picture.
After confirming that there was no problem, he visualized this pattern in the sea of consciousness.
As this pattern was completely reflected in Fang Mu's sea of consciousness, a strange feeling gradually emerged.
Fang Mu seemed to have transformed into a sapling, perceiving the entire world from a unique perspective.
Not far from the saplings is a clear spring.
The clear spring looked inconspicuous, but it exuded a familiar aura.
That was the aura of Water Saint Jiang Yao.
It's just that the aura in the clear spring is far less powerful than Jiang Yao's today.
Under the constant irrigation of this clear spring, the sapling grew taller and taller, and the aura became stronger and stronger.
However, as the sapling continued to grow, it finally appeared in the vision of the immortal.
An immortal with a vague appearance was attracted by the precious light of the tree.
Fortunately, the immortal did not cut down the precious tree, but built a thatched house here and lived in seclusion here.
It’s just that he would break off a branch from the tree every few hundred years.
This memory is obviously very old, so old that the Tongtian Divine Tree has forgotten the appearance of the immortal.
But the pain of the broken branch is still unusually clear.
Because when the immortal broke the branch, he would also collect the essence of the Tongtian Divine Tree, making it extremely weak.
Every time the Tongtian Divine Tree broke a branch, it would frantically absorb the spring water below to replenish its own consumption.
In the first millions of years, the Tongtian Divine Tree was in a daze and did not think there was anything wrong with it.
Until one day, the immortal who settled here was killed, and the Tongtian Divine Tree, which had not yet grown, was chopped into a dead tree.
At that time, the Tongtian Divine Tree, whose consciousness had not yet grown, suddenly realized that it was about to die.
But just as its consciousness was about to dissipate, a warm current suddenly surged from the deepest part of its main root.
This warm current flowed upstream along its broken roots and enveloped its consciousness.
