Chapter 137: Deceiving the Heavens and Crossing the Sea, the Chaos Enlightenment Tree!
When the people from the demon area heard what Mei Qianmeng said, they felt that it made sense.
“But didn’t so many people check it just now? If the Holy Maiden is worried, she has to check it herself. It’s just an ordinary green seedling. It doesn’t even have weak spiritual power.”
If not, that thing would be too Heaven-defying. It actually fooled everyone’s eyes.
“That’s right. And no one can escape the Holy Maiden’s Heavenly Demon Technique. Moreover, his cultivation isn’t high. No matter how I look at it, that kid was hit by the technique.”
This was also something that Mei Qianmeng could not understand. She had confidence in her own strength, but the current situation could not help but make her suspicious.
“The person who was hit by the Heavenly Demon Technique could not act without my orders. Even if he waited until the control was automatically removed, it would at least take a few hours. During these few hours, he was like a puppet, but now...”
Mei Qianmeng’s tone paused. The people of the Demon Region were somewhat silent. They had probably left before the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, but this person had disappeared. It was no wonder that her expression was not good.
“Perhaps he was attacked by a demonic beast? Or maybe he was noticed by others. In short, it definitely wasn’t that kid who left on his own.”
“The Holy Maiden’s cultivation technique is profound. There’s no way he could have escaped. How could it be a disguise?”
Even so, the doubts in Mei Qianmeng’s heart had not completely disappeared. If everything just now was Gu Xi’s disguise and the Heavenly Demon Technique had no effect on him, then this person was a little too terrifying.
What kind of strength and cultivation level was it that he was actually immune to the Heavenly Demon Technique?
Then, everything that Gu Xi had said earlier was completely overturned. How could such a well-hidden person make a move for a few ordinary green seedlings? Those few seedlings were probably extraordinary!
Thinking of all the possibilities, Mei Qianmeng was even more shocked. However, all of these were her guesses. Now that Gu Xi was not here, there was no way to prove it.
“I hope I’m overthinking things...”
At this moment, a disciple of the Demon Region cried out in alarm, “Holy Maiden, the Dragon Stone is reacting again!”
The Dragon Stone shone weakly in the southeast direction. It could be a coincidence, or it could be fate. Gu Xi was heading in the southeast direction as well.
“Holy Maiden, the Demon Venerable’s orders are more important. Let’s hurry. There might be items that the Demon Venerable needs. If they fall into the hands of the Righteous path cultivators, we’ll be in trouble.”
Mei Qianmeng was somewhat unwilling. Even if what she had guessed earlier was only a guess, her premonition told her that this man was not as simple as he appeared. If there was a chance next time, she must find out what secrets he had.
Gu Xi still did not know that at this moment, he was once again being targeted by Mei Qianmeng.
He came to a quiet canyon. This place was surrounded by mountains and did not attract anyone’s attention. If an ordinary person passed by and did not come down to investigate, they would not be able to discover that this place actually existed in this valley.
Two rays of divine light flashed in the air. Little Nine and Little Jin’s figures appeared. Gu Xi set up an array nearby and instructed the two little ones,
“You two, guard this place for me. If anyone comes over, remember to remind me.”
Little Jin and Little Nine nodded. Only then did Gu Xi take out the two little saplings with ease and carefully studied them. These were the Enlightenment Trees that had been stamped by the System.
Even so, he could not help but show a look of disdain on his face, “If it wasn’t for the System, I’m afraid I would have made a mistake too.”
He did not know what kind of disguise this was. Regardless of whether it was his spiritual power or spiritual sense probing in, there was still no reaction. Gu Xi even suspected that even if a Saint-level expert came to check it, the result would be the same.
“It’s really too magical. No wonder no one found anything special about it.”
Everyone thought that the Enlightenment Tea was born on the giant tree, but they did not know that it was all camouflage. In order to cover the original Enlightenment Tree, the person behind the curtain had gone to great lengths.
However, he did not expect that there would be someone like Gu Xi with the System. Naturally, all the camouflage and eye-covering methods were useless. It was like cheating. It was almost Heaven-defying.
[Ding! The System has detected the Chaos Enlightenment Tree]
[Detected flaw 12,530. Potential value 965,985. Do you wish to extract it?]
Gu Xi made the decision without hesitation.
No one else would disturb him. Even the people from the Demon Region had been fooled by him. Gu Xi could extract it without worry.
The golden light shot straight into the sky. If not for the barrier of the array, such a bright light would have already been noticed by the people around him.
Within this beam of light, there were green spots of light that pervaded the surroundings. It was as if the stars in the sky had fallen, bringing with them an incomparable vitality. It was as if countless life essences had condensed here and all of them had turned into these faint spots of light, they surged into the dying sapling.
The half-dead tree branch finally had some breath and slowly stretched out. However, even though such a majestic life essence surged in, the change it brought was negligible. It was as if it wanted to condense all the spiritual energy in the world into this place, all of it converged into the veins and leaves.
If an ordinary spiritual plant absorbed so much spiritual energy, it would easily cause damage to its roots. It might even be in danger of being overnourished. However, there was no worry here.
The ancient primordial giant tree rose up from the ground, standing shoulder to shoulder with the sun and moon. Heaven and Earth were the same age. The shadow of the giant tree shook Heaven and Earth. It was even more shocking than the Divine Tree that they had seen earlier.
The originally blurry shadow gradually became solid due to the infusion of the golden light. The ancient Enlightenment Tree surrounded the entire valley. Gu Xi released a wisp of her spiritual sense to probe into it.
He was instantly stunned by the scene before his eyes.
The tangled roots had long gone beyond the scope of common sense. It was not a tree branch at all. It was clearly carved from the supreme Dao characters,
The aura of the Great Dao spread within. The golden light flowed and the Dao rhythm spread, as if it was the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao.
As expected of the Enlightenment Tree!
“Eh, what is this...”
