141: Chapter 141 Tree Man

"Oh? Now that you mention it, that actually seems somewhat feasible."

The Queen of Dayue's eyes lit up suddenly, a flicker of interest flashing in her gaze.

She had never thought in this direction before.

Now that she savored the idea, she felt a sudden clarity.

"I have yet to marry, nor do I have any heirs. This boy, Xiang Tian, is indeed an excellent candidate."

"Hmph!"

The Monarch of Tianyun let out a cold snort.

He had only been teasing about Xiang Tian, never expecting this woman to actually take it seriously.

Given this woman's conditions...

Could Xiang Tian even refuse?

This situation was like a meat bun tossed to a dog.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the frustration in his heart.

In a deep voice, he said: "Queen of Dayue, please mind your status. In terms of age, you could be his mother."

But the Queen of Dayue didn't care at all.

Instead, the corners of her lips curled into a faint smile.

"Although I am the Queen of Dayue, I am a Cultivator first. In our cultivation world, when has there ever been an age restriction?"

The more she thought about it, the more feasible she felt it was, and joy spread across her face.

She nodded slightly to the Monarch of Tianyun.

"Many thanks to the Monarch of Tianyun for the reminder. When that boy Xiang Tian comes out later, I will clarify it with him in person."

The Monarch of Tianyun was so angry his face turned livid, and the veins on his forehead throbbed faintly.

Having finally caught an Opportunity that could make the Tianyun Kingdom soar...

Was it all to go down the drain just like this?

How could he be reconciled to that!

After pondering for a long time, his eyes suddenly turned.

He said slowly: "I heard that Xiang Tian is already married, not only having a wife and child, but he also seems to have more than one woman by his side."

He didn't believe that the Queen of Dayue, a ruler of a kingdom, could tolerate that.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Upon hearing this, the Queen of Dayue's expression paused slightly.

A trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

But after only a moment, she realized it clearly.

Her eyebrows relaxed, and her tone was indifferent: "I have also heard that the dignified Hall Master of Lianhua Society wants to become Dao Companions with Xiang Tian to cultivate their Cultivation Technique together. What does that make me, a mere ruler of a small kingdom?"

In this cultivation world where the strong prey on the weak, being able to find a powerful Dao Companion is enough to save hundreds of years of struggle.

She understood this better than anyone.

The Monarch of Tianyun was trembling with rage.

Yet he was helpless against this stubborn woman.

Just as the two were deadlocked in an argument...

A deafening roar suddenly erupted from the depths of the Phantom God Forest.

"Boom!"

"What's the situation?"

The two rulers exclaimed in shock simultaneously.

They both cast their gazes toward the mist-shrouded forest.

The next second.

A crisp cracking sound tore through the sky, echoing across the wilderness.

"Crack!"

"Retreat quickly!"

Seeing that the situation was bad, the Queen of Dayue made a decisive decision.

Her spiritual power surged, and she swept up the people of Dayue Kingdom who were accompanying her.

Turning into a stream of light, they quickly retreated from the area.

Although the Monarch of Tianyun was a beat slower, he reacted immediately, taking the people of Tianyun Kingdom with him and fleeing in a sorry state.

Just at this moment.

An ancient and majestic voice slowly traveled from the depths of the underground of the Phantom God Forest.

It carried the fury of being disturbed from slumber.

"Who dares to disturb my slumber~"

As the voice fell, the entire forest trembled violently.

The ground cracked, and rubble rolled.

A massive head covered in wrinkles and moss slowly arched out from the ground.

Following that, the massive body was gradually revealed, blotting out the sky and sun.

"Not good, this is..."

In the Phantom God Forest, the Hall Master of Lianhua Society felt her heart tighten upon seeing this.

She immediately circulated her spiritual power to sweep up Xiang Tian and his group.

With a tap of her toes, she rushed out of the forest's perimeter.

The Cultivators who were originally fighting in the forest also stopped one after another, scrambling to escape outward.

Just as everyone was still in shock, that massive figure had completely stood up.

It turned out to be a tree man, covered in withered tree bark, with a stature hundreds of feet tall.

The terrifying pressure radiating from its body enveloped the surrounding area like Mount Tai pressing down.

It made everyone present unable to breathe.

"Seeking death!"

A low roar issued from the tree man's throat.

With a gentle wave of its withered tree-bark arm.

"Boom!"

A loud noise exploded again, the entire forest trembled violently because of it, and as space twisted, bursts of cracking sounds echoed one after another, and terrifying air waves swept in all directions.

"Not good! This tree man's cultivation has already broken through the Saint Realm!" Master Miaoxian frowned, her expression heavy to the extreme.

An existence of this Realm was definitely not something they could contend with.

"Bang!"

Ordinary Cultivators simply couldn't resist this casual blow, and they were instantly blown away by the air waves.

Even the experts present were all shaken until their blood surged, each spitting out a mouthful of blood and falling to the ground in a sorry state.

"What kind of monster is this... how could it be so formidable?" The Sect Leader of Badao Sect lay in a deep pit.

His whole body felt like his bones were shattering, his eyes full of terror.

He stared fixedly at that tree man.

"Such an existence is definitely not something we can provoke." The Family Head Tantai frowned tightly.

"You all must die!" The tree man shouted again, its anger even more intense.

Clearly, the

waking up on the wrong side of the bed

anger after being disturbed was hard to quell.

It raised its hand, intending to launch another fatal blow at the group of Saint Realm Cultivators.

Just at this critical moment.

A black phantom suddenly floated out from Xiang Tian's Sea of Consciousness.

You Lingqing's voice was light and calm as it slowly sounded.

"Little Tree, stop."

Upon hearing this, the tree man's massive body suddenly shook, and its movements froze instantly.

It slowly turned its head, a trace of disbelief flashing in its murky eyes.

Its voice trembled hoarsely: "Young... Young Miss? You are actually still alive!"

"How could I die so easily." You Lingqing said indifferently.

"You've let out enough of your Qi; it's time to stop."

As she spoke, she waved gently at the tree man.

The tree man nodded obediently, its massive body shrinking rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, it turned into a palm-sized little tree man.

Floating in front of You Lingqing, it even looked a bit naive.

"Holy crap! It was just... subdued like that?" Xiang Tian was shocked.

He couldn't help but blurt out.

"Little Tree, from now on, you will follow Xiang Tian!"

You Lingqing waved her hand, and the little tree man shrank again.

It turned into a finger-sized little tree seedling.

She flicked her fingertip, and the little tree seedling flew into Xiang Tian's Purple Mansion like a green light.

"Senior, this... how did it get into my body?" Xiang Tian looked at You Lingqing helplessly.

"You need not worry." You Lingqing's tone was flat.

"This is the World Tree; in the future, it will be of great use to you."

As the voice fell, she turned into a black ghostly light.

She shrank back into Xiang Tian's Sea of Consciousness and disappeared.

"Xiang Tian, what exactly is going on?" The Hall Master of Lianhua Society approached, her eyebrows tightly locked.

Her gaze was locked tightly on Xiang Tian.

This catastrophic crisis was resolved so nonchalantly.

It was truly too bizarre.

"How many secrets are you hiding on you?"

She looked Xiang Tian up and down, her eyes full of curiosity.

"That True Dragon power from before probably doesn't count for much among all your Opportunities, right?"

That probing gaze seemed like she wanted to see through him inside and out.

"Damn, what are you doing?" Xiang Tian quickly took a step back, looking at her vigilantly.

"You old woman, don't have any improper thoughts about me. If my Xiahou Yun misunderstands, that would be troublesome."

Having said that, he immediately ran quickly to Xiahou Yun's side.

He stuck close to her.

"Xiang Tian! You actually dare to call me old?" The Hall Master of Lianhua Society was instantly furious.

She rolled up her sleeves, ready to go up and deal with him, her anger rushing to the top of her head.

Just as the two were making a scene, several figures flew over slowly.

A group of Saint Realm big shots gathered together.

Their gazes fell uniformly on Xiang Tian.

The thought of fighting before had long been thrown to the nine heavens, leaving only curiosity and exploration.

Master Miaoxian clutched her chest, walking toward Xiang Tian with unsteady steps.

Coughing twice as she walked, her expression was weak, and her appearance was pitiful to behold.

"Disciple, can you tell Master... *cough cough*... what exactly is going on?"

Xiang Tian looked at her blankly.

This cheap Master was clearly faking it.

Wasn't there a rumor that she was a cold and unworldly Fairy?

Why was she such a belly-black (scheming) person?

He would have to be more careful when getting along in the future.

He rolled his eyes, his tone blunt.

"Master, if I said I didn't know either, would you believe me?"

A trace of feigned annoyance flashed in Master Miaoxian's eyes, and she secretly transmitted her voice to Xiang Tian.

"There are too many eyes and ears now, so I won't force you. When we are in a place with fewer people, Master will let you see my prowess."

Questioning him now was too reckless; if she really made Xiang Tian reveal his secrets in public.

It would be tantamount to pushing him into the limelight and making him a target for everyone.

Immediately.

She returned to that weak appearance.

She said to Xiang Tian: "Disciple, hurry and support Master."

Although Xiang Tian was reluctant, when he met Master Miaoxian's suddenly glaring eyes.

He still hurriedly took a step forward and reached out to support her.

Master Miaoxian steadied her figure with his support.

Her gaze swept over the surrounding Cultivators who were eyeing him covetously, their greed almost written on their faces.

She lowered her voice and said: "You brat, the secrets on you have already been exposed, and these people will definitely covet them and be detrimental to you. How about this, why don't you come back to the Heavenly Sword Sect with Master this time? The Heavenly Sword Sect can protect your safety."

"Master, I still have important things to handle in the Tianyun Kingdom, I can't go back with you for now."

Xiang Tian refused directly without even thinking.

That was a mission issued by the System; after completing it, he could receive double rewards.

Naturally, he wouldn't give it up easily.

"What important matters could you have?" Master Miaoxian frowned slightly.

Her gaze swept across those ill-intentioned looks around again, and she became increasingly worried.

Xiang Tian pondered for a moment and slowed his tone.

"Master, I will handle the affairs of the Imperial City first, and then I will immediately go to the Heavenly Sword Sect to join you, how about that?"

The Heavenly Sword Sect was a large Sect and was indeed a good place to avoid trouble.
