74: Chapter 74 A Secret of Ten Thousand Years! The Divine Transformation Fruit Tree is Actually a Flower on a Corpse?
(Thanks to 【♛ Shadow ♡】 for the character summon. I have no way to repay you, so I can only write you into my story. Sending love. Thanks to everyone for the gifts, I will post an extra chapter later.)
West Sea Dragon Palace, core hall.
At this moment, the hall had already been cleared.
Except for the core leaders of various forces, all unrelated personnel had retreated.
Ao Cangyue sat high on the dragon throne, possessing immense majesty.
On her left, Ao Tingxin and the Black Dragon King sat in order.
Below the platform, the Eastern Tomb Ghost Cultivators and North Mountain Demon Clan were lined up on both sides, each with a solemn expression.
Only the position in the middle was left for the Southern Region... or rather, left for that young man in white leaning against the chair—Su Feng.
Everyone's gaze drifted toward him intentionally or unintentionally, their eyes complex.
After all, this was a ruthless person who split the sea with One Sword of Splendor. In a world where strength is respected, no one dared to underestimate the Southern Region anymore.
"Everyone."
Ao Cangyue tapped the armrest lightly, her voice echoing in the hall:
"In less than a year, the Central Continent will send people again... to select the Dao Seeds!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature in the hall seemed to drop by several degrees instantly.
The harvest that occurred every hundred years had been going on for thousands of years, taking away countless talented predecessors, yet not a single one had ever returned.
The Black Dragon King's face was ugly, his fists clenched tight.
For him, the words "Central Continent" were synonymous with the grudge of killing his son.
"Heh."
At this moment, a sinister voice sounded.
Dracula moved his black robe and said with an indifferent face:
"We Ghost Cultivators don't care. Anyway, for so many years, the Central Continent has never taken a single clansman from us. Perhaps... they are afraid of ghosts?"
"Afraid of ghosts?"
Bear Tyrant on the opposite side sneered, mercilessly tearing down his pretense:
"Is there a possibility that the Central Continent doesn't even look at you lot who are neither human nor ghost? They find you bad luck?"
"What did you say?! ! "
Dracula instantly turned red with rage, his scarlet eyes staring fixedly at Bear Tyrant, his body filled with ghostly Qi: "Stupid Bear! Want to fight?! "
"Let's fight! You think I'm afraid of a ghost with kidney deficiency?" Bear Tyrant slapped the table and stood up abruptly.
"Enough!"
A burst of Half-step Spirit Transformation Peak dragon might exploded instantly, forcibly suppressing the Aura of the two.
Ao Cangyue glanced coldly at the two of them: "With a great enemy in front, you still want to have internal strife? Both of you sit down!"
After the two sat down unwillingly, Ao Cangyue continued:
"According to the Legacy memory of my Dragon Clan, ten thousand years ago, there was no such Heaven-Defying Seal. At that time, the entire Tianyuan Continent was interconnected, with hundreds of clans standing tall, ten thousand laws competing, it was a true golden age of Cultivate."
"Until... ten thousand years ago, a god transformation fruit tree suddenly appeared in the Central Continent!"
"That battle caused the forces of the entire Tianyuan Continent to fight crazily, with blood flowing like a river."
"In the end, the Central Continent won a bitter victory. It was also after that, that our connection with the Four Lands and the Central Continent was completely severed, and the Heaven-Defying Seal... perhaps it was born after that."
"god transformation fruit tree?" Bear Tyrant scratched his head and asked in a muffled voice.
"What kind of thing is that? Is it delicious?"
Ao Cangyue took a deep breath and threw out a bombshell:
"One spirit transformation fruit can equal a thousand years of bitter Cultivate! A Half-step Spirit Transformation who consumes this fruit... can instantly achieve Soul Transformation!!"
"What?! !"
"There is actually such a divine object?!"
The whole audience was shocked, even Su Feng, who had been indifferent, sat up straight.
Instantly achieve Soul Transformation?
This was simply a supreme treasure that broke the rules!
No wonder the Central Continent wanted to Seal the Four Lands; it turned out it was to swallow this tree alone!
If this were in the present day, let alone sealing, even if they slaughtered the Four Lands, someone would do it!
"You mean..."
Just as everyone was still digesting this news, Tu Shan Ya of the Yao Race suddenly spoke.
She crossed her arms, and that proud magnificence was made even more breathtaking by this gesture.
She leaned forward slightly, her eyes sharp:
"Do you think the Central Continent sealed the Four Lands just to swallow the fruit tree alone?"
Su Feng, who had been listening carefully, had his gaze instantly attracted by that patch of snow-white.
This fox... she doesn't know this posture is a foul?!
Compared to some spirit transformation fruit, obviously the "scenery" in front of him was more attractive.
"That's right." Ao Cangyue nodded.
"After communicating with the three Soul Transformation remnants who escaped from the Central Continent over the years, this possibility is the greatest."
"Not necessarily."
Tu Shan Ya shook her head, a mysterious smile curling at the corner of her mouth:
"Since the Dragon Clan is so sincere, our Yao Race cannot be stingy either."
Ao Cangyue looked suspiciously at this little fox who had just turned eighty: "Can you represent the Yao Race?"
"Tu Shan Ya can speak on behalf of our entire clan!" Bear Tyrant immediately replied, his tone respectful.
"Witch? You are a Great Witch of the Yao Race?!" Ao Cangyue was shocked.
In the Yao Race, "Great Witch" is an honorific for wise men and prophets, and their status is no less than that of the Clan Chief!
"The Great Witch isn't dead yet, I am just a Little Witch now."
Tu Shan Ya waved her hand casually, but that confidence could not be faked:
"Everyone here, have you ever heard that our Yao Race produced a... Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor?"
Ao Cangyue's heart stirred: "The legendary... Great Demon of Gui Xu?!"
"Exactly!"
A flash of fanaticism crossed Tu Shan Ya's eyes:
"I can responsibly tell everyone that this is not a legend, but the truth!"
"Our Yao Race speculates that the true reason for the Heaven-Defying Seal... is very likely to suppress the dismembered corpse of this Demon Emperor! To prevent him from resurrecting!"
Now, even the gossip-loving Su Feng was stunned.
One said it was for the fruit tree, the other said it was to suppress the corpse.
Which one is true?
"Head of the Su Family."
Ao Cangyue frowned, obviously unable to judge, and could only ask for off-field assistance:
"Could you please ask that Senior to come out? Some things... perhaps only a firsthand witness would know."
Then she seemed to remember something and hurriedly added: "The reward will be calculated separately! You can choose whatever you want from the Dragon Palace treasury!"
"Deal!"
As soon as Su Feng heard there was money, he immediately perked up.
He patted the jade pendant: "Old Ghost, come out to receive the guests."
Buzz!
Black smoke curled, and the remnant soul of Withered Ghost manifested.
"Hiss... such a strong Divine Soul!"
The moment Dracula saw Withered Ghost, it was like a hungry dog seeing a meat bun, and the greed in those scarlet eyes almost overflowed.
For a Ghost Cultivator, such a top-tier remnant soul was simply a supreme tonic!
"Hmph!"
Withered Ghost snorted coldly, and the Soul Transformation Stage Divine Soul pressure erupted instantly, like a heavy hammer slamming into Dracula's chest.
"Puff!"
Dracula groaned, his face turned pale instantly, and the greed in his eyes turned into deep fear.
After threatening Dracula, Withered Ghost turned to face the crowd, his expression becoming unprecedentedly solemn.
Combining what he had seen and heard in the Central Continent, he spoke slowly, revealing a truth that made everyone's hair stand on end:
"Actually... you are both right."
"The Great Demon of Gui Xu... indeed exists. Back then, he was killed by an Immortal from the Upper Realm with one sword, and his corpse was dismembered and suppressed beneath the Four Lands."
"And that god transformation fruit tree..."
Withered Ghost took a deep breath, his voice hoarse.
"I heard it was planted on the torso of that Great Demon of Gui Xu!!"
Bear Tyrant's eyes flashed with fierce light, his whole body's Aura began to be chaotic, obviously he was in a rage.
The Tiger brothers even frankly stated that they wanted to avenge their ancestors.
Tu Shan Ya's eyes also revealed a dangerous signal, muttering,
"Those people... are using the flesh and blood essence of our Yao Race's Great Demon of Gui Xu to nourish that tree!!"
Ao Tingxin covered her small mouth, her eyes full of disbelief. That was the legendary Gui Xu realm above Soul Transformation, yet it was used to plant a tree. Was this the means of an Immortal?
Everyone only felt a chill rushing from the soles of their feet to their crowns.
Using the corpse of the Great Demon of Gui Xu as fertilizer?
The means of this Immortal... were simply too vicious!
