Chapter 1004: Luminescent Tree Disc
The six of them sped through the passage, quickly leaving the evil cultivator far behind.
Lu Xuan followed behind the group, but his spiritual consciousness was controlling Ling Gu's avatar from afar.
His divine soul's spiritual awareness had become much stronger, and Ling Gu's abilities had improved significantly. This allowed for a tighter connection between the two, enabling them to clearly sense each other's thoughts even when they were hundreds of miles apart.
As they flew through the passage towards the Tree Realm, the six of them felt an incredibly terrifying aura passing overhead.
"A Primordial Spirit True Monarch has entered the Tree Realm," they whispered among themselves.
However, Lu Xuan and the others remained calm.
After all, the Tree Realm was vast, filled with countless treasures, and the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs and Core Formation True Men each had their own opportunities. It was unlikely that they would encounter each other directly.
"Are there Core Formation Cultivators guarding the entrance to this passage?" Lu Xuan asked curiously.
He keenly sensed with his spiritual awareness that, both inside and outside the passage, at regular intervals, there were traces of Core Formation Cultivators' auras.
His spiritual awareness swept through, pausing briefly on each of the six, confirming that there were no abnormalities before quietly leaving.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you may not know this, but this passage is the key to the core area of the Tree Realm. It was discovered by chance, and after many attempts at opening it, it finally stabilized, gradually attracting more and more cultivators," one of them explained.
"This is indeed a strategic location that all factions would fight for. The Plant Demons within the Tree Realm will not give up easily," another added.
"Therefore, Celestial Star Cave has joined forces with several other major powers, sending numerous Core Formation True Men to patrol the area around the passage to prevent those Plant Demons from sneaking in and damaging it," they continued.
"We must indeed be extra cautious," Lu Xuan nodded slightly.
"I never thought that the one who would eventually close this passage would be a human cultivator," someone said.
"Can you stop the Plant Demons, and also the cultivators?" Lu Xuan wondered silently.
The thought of personally closing the passage that allowed his fellow humans to enter the Tree Realm in front of so many of his kind gave him a slight sense of excitement.
As they pondered, the six arrived in a strange world.
Looking around, they saw towering trees everywhere, blocking out the sky. Strange vines intertwined in unimaginable ways, and the air was filled with a rich vitality.
"This is the Tree Realm. Fellow Daoists, be careful. Don't stray too far from each other. If you encounter any powerful Plant Demons, seek help from the others immediately," Guo Bingqiu said solemnly.
The six of them were quite capable, and it would be a waste of their talents to stick together. By searching separately, they might find more opportunities and treasures.
So, they chose to search in different areas, ensuring they could find enough spiritual herbs and treasures, and also allowing them to stay in contact with each other.
If they discovered any rare secret realms or encountered powerful Plant Demons, they could join forces then.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, why don't you and I travel together? That way, we can look out for each other," Guo Bingqiu suggested, turning to Lu Xuan.
After all, Lu Xuan's status was now extraordinary, and deepening their relationship could bring great benefits in the future.
The other four also had the same idea, but since Guo Bingqiu, the most powerful among them, had spoken first, they had no choice but to give up. Each of them chose a direction and disappeared among the countless vines and branches.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Guo. With my current strength, I can still manage. If I encounter any difficulties, I will definitely seek your help," Lu Xuan said with a faint smile, politely declining.
"Okay, Fellow Daoist Lu, be careful," Guo Bingqiu said before transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the distance.
Lu Xuan looked around, his spiritual sense scanning the area. The distance between them wasn't too great; if anything happened, they could reach each other within a few breaths.
"It seems I need to find a way to contact the Profound Apex Tree Mother."
He slowly weaved his way through the countless branches.
Just then, the thick vines within a ten-li radius suddenly came to life, like giant snakes, and frantically attacked the group.
Lu Xuan summoned the Light Splitting Shadow Sword Grass, slicing the countless vines near him into fragments.
The other five also summoned various Magical Tools, blocking the overwhelming onslaught of the vines.
"A Sixth Stage Vine Demon is approaching, fellow cultivators, be careful."
Guo Bingqiu's voice sounded in everyone's ears.
Before he finished speaking, countless deep black vines, as thick as barrels, burst out of the ground, carrying a stench of foul wind.
The foul wind seemed to carry some venomous substance, making people dizzy and nauseous.
The Vine Demon's attack was fierce, forcing the group to temporarily retreat. Each of them used their Mystic Techniques and summoned speed-type artifacts to evade the countless clones of the Vine Demon.
"This Vine Demon shares some similarities with the Demon Ghost Vine."
A silver-white lightning glow appeared on Lu Xuan's body, helping him dodge the attacks of the deep black vines with agility.
As they dodged, the six of them had unknowingly traveled several dozen li.
The Vine Demon seemed to lose its aggression and transformed back into ordinary vines, hanging on the towering trees.
At the same time, Lu Xuan sensed a slight anomaly in the Little Tree Maiden within his Gluttonous Worm Pouch.
A faint and mysterious aura emanated from her body.
"Tree Mother?"
Lu Xuan's mind stirred, and he casually set up a Sealed Barrier to release the Little Tree Maiden.
"You've come, young friend."
A hint of solemnity appeared on the Tree Maiden's exquisite face.
"Thank you, young friend, for risking yourself to help me and the countless Plant Demons in the Tree Realm."
"You're too kind, Senior. Since I've made my choice, I will do my best to help you solve the Gateway issue."
Lu Xuan spoke sincerely.
"Your intention is enough, young friend."
"If you're exposed during the journey and encounter any danger, you can make your own decisions."
The Little Tree Maiden's voice was gentle, like a soothing stream.
Lu Xuan smiled slightly and said no more.
Since he had come, he was determined to obtain the Seventh Stage Wood-type Treasured Artifact promised by the Profound Apex Tree Mother.
After all, it was the key to reviving the Void Dwelling Immortal Vine.
"My main body is being watched by more than one Primordial Spirit True Monarch, so I can only send out the weakest Divine Thought and can't stay here for long."
"From now on, everything depends on you, young friend."
The Tree Maiden's expression turned solemn.
"I've left a message within this Tree Maiden's body. At the right time, she will lead you to the place where the situation can be resolved. There, you will find seven Wood-type treasures I've left behind, the Luminescent Tree Discs."
"The Luminescent Tree Discs inherently contain Mysterious Sealed Barriers, and I've made some modifications to them, inscribing unique Wood Binding Arts. In a sense, they can be considered Natural High-Tier Array Disks."
"Once you successfully bury them in the seven designated locations near the Gateway, I can simultaneously activate the seven Luminescent Tree Discs and use the Forbidden Rules within them to instantly close the Gateway."
"After sealing the Gateway, we won't have to face the endless influx of cultivators from the Tree Realm. It will be much easier for the Plant Demons and myself."
The Tree Maiden said gently.
"Alright, then I'll quickly find those Luminescent Tree Discs and place them in the positions you specified."
Lu Xuan replied with a bow.
