Chapter 925
Old Song was shocked. The world of Optimus Prime is relatively closed, and there is no mountain gate. The three tribes of humans, demons and monsters all live in the form of tribes. He has never seen the spiritual energy cannon used to attack the mountain gate, let alone the spiritual energy cannon improved by Yuanxiao.
Yuanxiao asked everyone to turn on the shield, then took out a bag of medium-grade spiritual stones, began to manipulate the muzzle of the spiritual energy cannon to point diagonally downward, and loaded it with medium-grade spiritual stones, then activated the guiding rune to start shooting.
With a loud bang, the ground on the grassland shook, and the selected explosion point in the depression below collapsed, revealing a large black hole.
It was indeed empty below! The previous guess was completely correct.
"Fellow Daoist Song, check the collapsed place now and see if you can remember something?" Yuanxiao already had an idea in his mind, and now he only needed Old Song to cooperate in verification.
When Old Song blasted a big hole in the depression, he was already shocked, and immediately probed his spiritual consciousness into the big hole after hearing the words. Half a cup of tea later, Old Song's face was heavy and full of shock.
"Under the dividing line, it's all empty, leaving only a thin layer of the surface, and the bottom is all dug up. No wonder the grassland is sunken."
"The demons are really cunning. I didn't expect them to secretly dig up the ground. No wonder they raise so many burrowing beasts. It turns out that they are specifically used to dig up the underground soil layer."
"Burrowing beasts?" Yuan Xiao immediately grasped the key.
"That's right. The demons began to raise burrowing beasts more than 1,500 years ago. On the surface, they said they were for meat and food, but they were secretly used to dig holes. Now that I think about it, many places in Optimus Prime have declined, starting with their large-scale raising of burrowing beasts!" Old Song suddenly realized and was very angry.
"Xiao Qi, what conclusion do you have about the grasslands on both sides of the dividing line?" Yuan Xiao asked with a smile.
"Haha, I can't let a girl like me who is less stupid show it all. I have to give you some opportunities to show it, right? You tell me, let me see if we think the same way." Xiao Qi replied.
Yuanxiao heard this and spoke this time: "Look, isn't this principle like a tree, with bark all over the trunk, and the nutrition and water supply of the branches and leaves of the tree are all transported by the bark. If we want to destroy a branch or a section of the trunk, we just need to dig up the bark, and the branches and leaves in front will lose water and nutrition, and will naturally become more and more withered. Is this metaphor easy to understand?"
After hearing this, Xiaoqi laughed angrily: "Look, you are so smart now, why do some people sometimes become so stupid? Tell me, are you deliberately irritating me?"
After hearing this, Lao Song was shocked, as if he had been enlightened, and continued: "Saint Envoy, you are so right. This is not a metaphor at all, it may be the truth, because I heard a piece of news!"
"Oh, what news?" Yuanxiao asked immediately.
"Before, before the great monk of our human race ascended to the fairyland, he tried his best to fly outward. He said that after flying far enough, he saw part of the truth about Optimus Prime. He said that the place where we live is actually one of the branches of a giant tree. I was confused at the time and didn't understand it at all."
"Then the great monk ascended to the fairyland. Not long after, a message came through the human race's sacred platform, but we couldn't be sure whether the message was true or not. He said that on the way to the fairyland, he flew higher and higher, and flew farther and farther. Looking back at the world we are in, he found that the whole world is like a Optimus Prime tree."
Yuan Xiao immediately became excited. Optimus Prime is actually a Optimus Prime tree?
The previous guess is even more correct. The bark of the sacred tree has been destroyed by the demon race using earth-drilling beasts for thousands of years. The shallow surface layer is hollowed out or dug off, which is equivalent to directly destroying the bark, causing the branches and leaves of the sacred tree to gradually wither and die, and even the main trunk is dead, and naturally it will not grow again.
The Southwest Demon Clan Optimus Prime was not destroyed, so it naturally grew and rose; the bark of the Northern Human Clan Optimus Prime and the Southeast Demon Clan Optimus Prime was damaged, so they naturally sank relatively after they stopped growing. Over time, they became more and more unbalanced.
"Fellow Daoist Song, since that ascended great cultivator gave a hint that this place is a Optimus Prime Divine Tree, if you are not sure, why don't you fly a little further to verify it yourself?" Yuan Xiao asked.
"The Holy Envoy doesn't know, it's not that we don't want to verify it, but that we don't have the strength to do it. Here at Optimus Prime, we cultivators can indeed fly, but after flying a certain distance, a suction force begins to appear. The further we go, the greater the suction force. A Yuanying cultivator like me can't fly too far." Old Song began to talk.
"Even our current human leader, who is at the initial stage of the tribulation, cannot resist the strong suction. He just flew a little farther than me, but still not far enough to see the true appearance of this Optimus Prime."
"Only the great perfection cultivators of the Mahayana can fly far enough to see the tip of the iceberg with their powerful cultivation. The last time the ascended great cultivator saw a close to full view, he still used the convenient condition of ascending to the fairyland. Unfortunately, he never contacted us again, so we can only guess."
"Is there suction? Can't fly too far? Xiao Qi, wait for me here, pay attention to safety. I will fly out to see if the claim of the Sky-supporting Divine Tree is true."
Hearing this, Xiao Qi immediately responded: "Don't worry, you know what treasures I have. If I want to escape, no one can catch up."
Yuanxiao immediately flew upwards with his sword. After two cups of tea, he really felt the suction that Lao Song had said. The further he flew, the stronger the suction became. His flying speed gradually slowed down until he could not fly at all and stood still.
No wonder the cultivators in the early stage of the Tribulation could not fly far, and no wonder only the Great Perfection of the Mahayana could slightly resist and see the tip of the iceberg. The suction was indeed very strong. This suction controlled everyone within a certain distance, so that they could not see the truth.
Yuanxiao took out the human tripod, input the Tianzu's vitality to activate it, and all the suction disappeared immediately, regaining freedom again. Yuanxiao held the tripod and continued to accelerate outward.
After half an incense stick, he looked back and the vision was quite shocking.
I saw a bare branch lying in the air, which was exactly where Yuanxiao had been before. It seems that what the Ascending Great Monk said was true. This sky-supporting sacred tree is extremely huge, so its branches and leaves are as wide as land. These people have lived here for generations, but few people know the truth.
Continue! Yuanxiao wanted to see more, so he continued to fly outward. After flying for another incense stick, Yuanxiao looked back again. Although he still couldn't see the whole picture this time, he could already see the bottom two layers of the Sky-supporting Divine Tree.
There was only a straight trunk rising to the sky, with several branches on each layer. Most of the branches began to change color from the middle, and the ends were all withered.
On the trunk of the Sky-supporting Divine Tree, the first layer still had a lot of vitality for the time being, and most of the branches were green. The branches on the second layer were already withered and gray.
