Chapter 631: Is this your correct usage?
Everyone left the Dragon Palace spiritual world with full of worries, leaving only Lao Jiang, Ruyue and Shiliu here.
Little Pomegranate was dumbfounded now.
It squatted on the stone under Jianmu, holding its head with its paws, as if it was deep in thought and talking to itself, as if trying to convince itself that everything in front of it was fake.
Lady Asarum is the leader of the monsters. It grew up listening to the legends about Lady Asarum. In the hearts of all monsters, Lady Asarum appears as a savior.
How could there be such an evil person in such a great other side?
But the standing Jianmu in front of him was irrefutable evidence, causing Shi Liu to fall into intense self-doubt for a moment.
It can't accept this reality!
"It's not like this. It shouldn't be like this."
The pomegranate's claws left white marks on its rock head, and the stone chips it scratched shattered. It looked at the Jianmu in front of it and muttered to itself:
"Mrs. Xixin can't be a bad person. Why would she do such a heinous thing? She must have been coerced. That's right, she must have been!
The fact that the Empress Dowager and the Taoist ancestor of the other side of the human race, Fushi, formed a Taoist couple had already made the spirits and monsters unhappy.
It must be that bad guy Fushi who forced my queen to do this bad thing for him... It's all Fushi's fault, and my queen was implicated!"
"Is that how you convince yourself? Isn't that really poor logic?"
Lao Jiang held a cigar in his mouth, and Ruyue, who was standing beside him, lit it for him.
Miss Bai Ze had a calm expression on her face. She did not seem to be shocked or panicked by the secret in front of her. After all, her heart was on Lao Jiang, and she did not have much time to worry about the survival of the world.
Boss Jiang put his arm around his secretary's slender waist and turned to stare at Shi Liu who was trying to convince herself.
He blew out a smoke ring and said:
"You were the one who told me that Lady Asarum was a sacred tree from the beginning of the world, with roots spread all over the world, which is equivalent to the source of life in the Bitter Wood Realm.
If she doesn't want to have such magical powers, how can anyone force her to do so?
Don't put the blame on Fushi Daozu either.
When I first met Mr. Crow, he told me that Taoist Master Fushi was trapped in Tongtian Mountain.
He cannot leave there. If Empress Xixin is also there, then no matter how you think about it, it must be that the two powerful beings from the other side have transformed themselves into the great way of heaven and earth to keep the Ku Mu Realm intact, right?
This world should have died long ago.
The fact that it has been able to continue to this day is due to the two great powers supporting it and protecting the billions of lives in this world."
"Bah! I don't believe it!"
Pomegranate flapped its wings and flew into the air, spreading its arms to protect Jianmu behind it, and shouted:
"It must be you, the Dao Ancestor of the human race, who led my Great Lady astray. You are not allowed to destroy the Jianmu trees left by the Great Lady! Every Jianmu tree is the incarnation of the Great Lady's spirit.
If one of them goes bad, the Empress Dowager will be harmed and suffer the backlash.
She’s worked hard enough.”
"Who said I wanted to ruin it?"
Lao Jiang snorted, hooked his finger at Shi Liu, and said:
"Get out of the way. I want to save this world. You foolish mountain monster, don't stop me from doing great things."
Pomegranates stood in front of Jianmu with great momentum.
It had never seen the scene of Lao Jiang connecting with the Heart of the World, so it thought that the bad guy Lao Jiang was going to destroy the spiritual tree, but the next moment, Ruyue threw out the Immortal Binding Rope, which caught the pomegranate like a horse, and forcibly dragged it back.
“No!”
Shi Liu was still screaming, but Miss Bai Ze stuffed a cloth strip in her mouth, so she could not scream anymore and could only whimper and yell.
It saw Lao Jiang throw down his cigar and stomp it out.
He stepped forward and stretched out his right hand, touching the surface of Jianmu. The next moment, scattered starlight swayed and danced all over Lao Jiang's body, transforming into a strange tree, stretching out in front of Jianmu.
The tree grew seven branches.
But only one of them had flowers blooming, the others were bare, just like seven streams of light turning into tentacles, piercing into Jianmu and merging with the heart of the world beneath Jianmu.
At this moment, Jiang Xia's eyes shone with white starlight, and the past and history of the entire spiritual world opened up before his eyes like a scroll.
This spiritual world has existed for a long time.
It was one of the first few spiritual realms discovered by the Mohist sect, and was also one of the seven spiritual realms that Ju Zi originally handed over to the Dragon Palace for jurisdiction. Those evil monsters carried out inhumane massacres in this spiritual realm.
Almost destroyed all civilization in this world.
It was exactly the same as what the Ryugu monsters did in the MAGA world, but it was not as lucky as the M world, and no one stood up to turn the tide.
The worldwide massacre lasted for seven days and seven nights, until the last city was about to perish, and then this spiritual world was taken back by the Mo family.
But the tens of thousands of people who remained could no longer survive here.
They were transferred to the Kumu Realm, and their memories were erased by Master Xu, who had not yet established the Qintian Academy at that time. They were then placed in the East Land and transformed into creatures of the Kumu Realm.
Without the support of civilization, the heart of the world becomes very weak.
After the demons were eliminated in the West Sea, the great monsters brought Jianmu seeds and planted them in the heart of this world.
Jianmu grew vigorously, spreading its roots throughout this uninhabited spiritual world, protecting the spiritual world from collapse and protecting the remnants of the heart of the world while absorbing precious spiritual energy.
Then, through the transformation of the star array, the spiritual power will be poured into the Ku Mu Realm.
During this process, Lao Jiang discovered something very strange.
The Jianmu tree of Lady Asarum was planted outside this world. It seemed to be hidden by some force and had not been discovered by Lord Huang's subordinates for so many years.
It's as if some force "erased" it from the stars.
"It's a disguise!"
Lao Jiang immediately thought of the swarm's heart in the wasteland.
These two are so similar.
He thought about it for a while and understood the principle.
The Ku Mu Realm seals the Sin Abyss, and inside it there is a big creature that constantly emits demonic energy. In the eyes of other Sons of the Wilderness, the Ku Mu Realm is equivalent to having been invaded by the Wilderness.
The spiritual tree body of Lady Asarum is located on the Tongtian Mountain in the Kumu Realm. She incarnated as a spiritual tree and planted it in this world. She also brought the "demonic disguise" of the Kumu Realm into this spiritual world.
Keep it from being coveted by other sons of the wilderness.
If there are still living beings in this world, there will be no doomsday disaster, and they can continue to survive and reproduce under this disguise.
"So, this is the real meaning of the 'worst strategy' that Juzi mentioned ?"
Jiang Xia suddenly understood something.
"While protecting the spirit world, we will extract spiritual energy. When the spirit world collapses and can no longer be sustained, we will transfer all the living beings in the world to the Bitter Wood Realm.
Protect them from being devoured by the Wasteland Lord, but let them die in his own hands...
But this won’t work.”
Old Jiang shook his head and thought:
“The Lord of the Wasteland is not a fool.
Sooner or later it will discover this 'disguise', and when it does, these spirits will still be doomed. This is not salvation, it is just avoiding the problem."
"come over!"
Boss Jiang no longer thought about these troublesome things. In his sea of consciousness, he had already sensed the connection between the weak Heart of the World and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree.
It’s very similar to the last experience in the Red Moon World.
He called out to the trembling and extremely weak heart of the world, as if calling a puppy. The branches of the red moon tree that were blooming and bearing fruits were swaying behind Lao Jiang, as if calling his compatriots.
The heart of the spiritual world suddenly rushed forward, and while shaking the Jianmu tree, it connected its power to the starry branches of the Seven Treasures Tree.
The next moment, amid its cheers, the second flower bloomed on the bare branch of Lao Jiang's Seven Treasures Tree, which was occupied by the Red Moon Heart.
It’s sea blue and very beautiful.
The opening of this flower represents that the heart of the world and this spiritual world are all under the control of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, and its connection with the Bitter Wood Realm is completely severed!
"Woo woo woo"
Amid the struggles of the stuffed pomegranate, the towering Jianmu trees dropped millions of leaves, as if autumn had arrived and the autumn wind was blowing.
The awe-inspiring canopy of the sky lost all its leaves in less than five breaths, becoming bare and no longer beautiful.
But the tree is still alive.
It simply lost the nourishment of the Heart of the World and was separated from the spiritual tree body of Lady Asarum, becoming a Jianmu tree independent of the Ku Mu Realm.
It is very similar to the process of Niang Xixin's enlightenment.
Its roots are connected to every vein in the spiritual world, protecting it from collapse. Perhaps thousands of years later, it will also develop its own consciousness.
It will also become a great wood-element monster that protects the world, just like Lady Asarum.
Amid the pile of fallen leaves, Lao Jiang withdrew his right hand. In his sea of consciousness, the red moon branch that had grown a second flower lowered its branches affectionately and gently touched Lao Jiang's cheek.
Represents gratitude.
Unfortunately, this flower can no longer bear fruit.
It's too weak.
It has nothing to offer to repay Jiang's kindness to it.
“No need.”
Jiang Xia sensed the thoughts of the Heart of the World. He waved his hand and said casually:
"I'm not doing this for rewards. I just, how should I put it, I finally found the meaning of my existence today."
In the sea of consciousness, Lao Jiang's soul looked down at his hands.
In the entanglement of the red moon's branches, it whispered:
"Ah, I finally know what those people who threw me here and gave me a strange tree wanted me to do."
He turned around and looked at the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, whose branches were swaying in his sea of consciousness as if waving in the wind. He then reached out and patted the bare trunk that had few leaves on it.
“I know how to make you grow and blossom.
You want me to find those worlds among the stars that still exist and still have hope, and connect all those forces together through me as the node.
No wonder Mr. Crow insisted on calling me 'pigeon'.
It turns out that I am the dove that was released after the flood and brought back hope... These old riddlers are so annoying! Why not just say it directly?
I have to experience it myself.
But fortunately, now that I know what the goal is, the rest is done. If I am asked to do such a difficult job, I think those guys will definitely pay me a lot after I succeed. "
The next moment, Lao Jiang opened his eyes.
He turned around to look at Miss Bai Ze who was smiling at him, and then looked at Shi Liu who had her eyes wide open.
explain:
"Everything in this world has been completed. Let's go back to Kumu Realm to do some work. Today, I know the biggest secret of Kumu Realm, but what else is under the Sin Abyss makes me even more curious.
More than a hundred years ago, our sect leader, Mo Jun, learned about the greatest evil intentions of the Ku Mu Realm from San Bao. I think every day and night of the past hundred years has been spent in entanglement and pain.
A person like him would definitely resist when he hears something bad.
But how could he rebel against the hometown that gave birth to him and raised him? "
Boss Jiang sighed and glanced at the bare Jianmu tree behind him.
He said:
"This is something that all the monks in the Bitter Wood Realm cannot do. This is something that only I can do. You cannot swing the sword at your own world, so let me, an outsider, be the villain.
Walk!
Save the headmaster and do great things. "
——
Zhongzhou Lingyu, Tongtian Mountain.
Under the green tree canopy that blocks out the sky, there is a black and white chessboard. A man and a woman are kneeling on both sides of the chessboard. The sunlight is blocked by the tree canopy and can only cast mottled spots of light.
And on this mountain, there is no one else except these two people.
"pumice……"
"Um?"
"I lost a spiritual wood incarnation, but my original body was not hurt. Someone took away a spiritual world from us in a way that I cannot understand.
Do you want to send someone to check it out?"
"Don't worry about it."
As the black pieces landed on the chessboard, a pleasant male voice whispered:
"After Daoist Fellow Mo Jiu left, you and I have waited for five hundred years. The 'best strategy' opportunity that we have been seeking but have never gotten has been left to fate. Life or death, survival or destruction, all depends on this one chance."
"So, do you want to help him?"
The softer female voice that sounded better asked.
“How can I help?
You and I have suppressed the abyss of sin and protected the great way of heaven and earth in this realm, and we have exhausted all our energy. For more than five hundred years, all the people under my command have respected and honored me, but they have also kept their distance from me.
Everyone has their own ideas and everyone has their own plans.
That's all.
Since he is the one who is destined to be robbed, let's see how he breaks the impasse. If it really becomes impossible, then help him give it another try... Well, I won, and your chess skills are still so bad.
It's your turn to cook tonight."
"Tsk, in these five hundred years, was there a single day that I didn't cook for you? You can use your chess skills to bully a poor monster like me. Be I might learn from the monsters in the Dragon Palace and quit my job.
Leaving you here alone to live out your days."
"...Can you bear to treat me like this?
Forget it, let's be lazy tonight and ask Mao Xing to prepare a banquet. He just found some good ingredients. Tonight, let's eat chopped pepper dragon head."
"Great! It's a very tonic."
