He had been sickly just a moment ago, but after eating the immortal beans, he immediately recovered. Even the Tree King, who had lived for countless years, had never seen such a magical medicine, let alone others.
" Wuji, what did you give my niece to eat? Is there any more?" Fire God asked shamelessly.
" There are still some. Why are you asking this?" Wuji pretended to not know and asked.
Fire God rubbed his hands and said with a smile,"Give me one too!" I won't take you for free. I'll use something to exchange with you."
I can give it to you, but I don't want it. As long as you agree to one of my conditions, I won't mind giving you one."
" What condition?" Fire God asked nervously.
"You are very strong. How about you be my sparring partner for a year?”，
Old Huo, I love fighting. Deal."
The Tree King also wanted a celestial bean, but he couldn't bear to lose face. He had just ordered to beat him up, and now he wanted something from him. It didn't make sense. Just as he was hesitating, the divine tree in the forbidden land sent an oracle. The Tree King had no choice but to come to Wuji's side and say,"Human, the altar is a sacred object of our race. It cannot be trampled on by outsiders. Please forgive me for offending you just now."
"If there's anything, just say it!”，
" The divine tree wants to see you," the tree king said.
"I still have to spar with Fire God, I'm not free."
"Don't be so serious, human. Wuji, come with me! "At worst, I'll be your sparring partner in the future. What do you think?" The Divine Tree said with a bitter smile and winked at his daughter from time to time.
Wuji was defeated by Mu Ling 'er's hopeful eyes." You said it yourself. After seeing the Divine Tree, you still have the Fire God to be my sparring partner."
The Tree Emperor brought his daughter and Wuji into the forbidden land. Five kilometers behind the towering tree, in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, a 100-meter-tall, ten-meter-thick, silver tree was growing here. The tree was covered with tiny and dense silver roots. The branches were luxuriant, and countless tiny branches hung from the branches. The starlight shone on it, making it a beautiful scene. This silver tree was the ancestor of the Forest Clan, the source of its power-the Divine Tree.
The closer he got, the clearer he could feel the decaying aura of nature on the Divine Tree. Wuji frowned. It was just as Mei 'er of the Fox Clan had said. The Divine Tree was' sick 'and it looked like it was quite sick. Mu Ling' er had used up one-thousandth of the massive amount of wood demonic power she had sent to the Divine Tree on the altar in this short period of time. In other words, Mu Ling 'er had to send the wood demonic power to the Divine Tree once every three days.
An old face appeared on the silver tree." Human, I'm sorry to have invited you here. Please forgive me."
" The Divine Tree must be joking. It's my fortune to be able to meet you."
" I know that you are still dissatisfied with the Tree King. He did this to save me. Everything started because of me. Please don't blame him," the Tree of God said.
" I just can't stand it. It's not as serious as you think."
That's good."
"May I know why you called me here?”Wuji asked,
Human, I need your help."
"Help?"
"Yes, I am. "I've always heard that humans are extremely creative, knowledgeable, and resourceful. In addition, I feel a peaceful and very powerful energy from you. I hope you can help me get rid of the extremely overbearing poison on my roots," the Divine Tree said.
" You were poisoned?"
"Yes. "300 years ago, Cang Mang and Si Shui led countless armies to attack our tribe. Si Shui trapped the Tree Emperor, but Cang Mang came to me. Cang Mang's original form was a poisonous flood dragon and he had gathered the venom of thousands of demon beasts. If it wasn't for the divine tree guards fighting desperately to buy time for the Tree Emperor, I'm afraid I wouldn't have existed in this world."
"After being poisoned, my demonic powers could only barely suppress the poison and could not remove it. The poison seemed to have a life of its own and continued to corrode my roots. With the passage of time, these toxins have already spread to my roots, eroding my life force. The source of my demonic power is the earth, so my roots are no longer able to transfer demonic power to me. I can only transfer demonic power through sacrifices. This method can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. It can only let me live on at death's door. So…"
" Can't we just cut off the poisonous roots?" Wuji said.
The Divine Tree threw out a poisoned root that was more than three meters thick and several kilometers long. It said,"I've tried this method before, but the problem is that my root is too hard. Even the sharpest weapon in the Demon Realm can't cut it. I also found many demon experts, but the result was the same."
" Let me try."
Wuji came to the black and stinky tree root, and silently gathered his innate genuine Qi on his fist. When the 'Crushing Fist' hit the tree root, Wuji's Qi and blood were immediately shaken and he was forced to retreat several steps. The Crushing Fist left a deep fist mark on the tree root. The dominance of the innate genuine Qi was even more powerful than the demonic power.
" Impressive! Even the sharpest weapon couldn't hurt the roots, yet you could leave a fist mark on it. Wuji, you're really amazing!" Mu Ling 'er said in shock.
" No matter how powerful you are, if you can't cut through the roots, it's still versatile. Move aside, I'll try again."
Taking a deep breath, he cleared his mind and channeled his Innate Genuine Qi into his palm, forcing out a three-foot-long sword light. Feeling the exhaustion of his Innate Genuine Qi, he waved the sword light and slashed at the tree root. The sharpness of the sword light was not something that ordinary weapons could compare to. Wherever the sword light passed, it would leave a small wound. The interior of the wound had long been destroyed by the sword light.
Wuji waved his sword repeatedly, and it took him ten minutes to cut off the poisoned tree root. Then, he retracted his sword and sat on the ground to recover his consumed true qi.
Mu Ling 'er didn't disturb him. Instead, she came to the Divine Tree and excitedly said,"Divine Tree, look! He cut off the poisoned roots!"
" What a powerful martial technique. This human must be a top expert in that world."
When his innate true qi was almost fully recovered, he stood up and came to the side of the divine tree. He asked," How many more of these poisoned roots are there?”
The Divine Tree pondered for a moment and replied," There are at least a few million of them!”，
"The poisoning situation is the same as this one?”
" I'm showing you the more poisoned roots. The poison is mainly concentrated on the main roots. There are less than 100,000 of them. The rest are on the collateral branches," the Divine Tree said.
Hearing this, Wuji was speechless and almost rolled his eyes. How long would it take to cut down millions of poisoned roots? Wuji paced around under the tree, racking his brains to find a solution. Mu Ling 'er was about to ask, but was stopped by the Divine Tree. The scene became quiet for a moment. Wuji, who had made up his mind after the probing just now, asked,"How many more days can the demonic power in your body last?"”
"Less than three days."
" I have a way to help you, but…" Wuji said.
"But what?" The Divine Tree asked anxiously,
" I need more yao to help. I can't do it alone."
" It's easy. As long as you can save the Tree of God, I'm at your disposal," the Tree Emperor said.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. First, he had to find a demon to forge an extra-large iron furnace. The iron furnace had to be placed on a high-temperature-resistant ground, and a five-meter-high wall had to be built in a radius of 1,000 meters. The thicker the better. Secondly, poison was most afraid of fire, so he had to find a fire-controlling demon to be a porter and an arsonist. He had to completely burn the roots that he had cut off to prevent the poison from spreading."After you're done, come find me," Wuji said.
The Tree King remembered Wuji's request and quickly left to prepare. The Tree of God said,"What do I need to do?"
" First, divide the roots that are about the same thickness into categories. We'll start with the smallest roots and leave behind the thickest roots. In the words of humans, this method is called breaking through the surface, starting with the easy ones before the difficult ones."
"Wuji, how confident are you? How much time will it take?" Mu Ling 'er asked,
"En, seventy to eighty percent is still possible. If I have a breakthrough in my cultivation, my speed will be faster. Time? If nothing unexpected happens, it will take at least a year."
"Really? "You're truly the great benefactor of our Forest Clan," Mu Ling 'er said with admiration.
Wuji blew on the hairstyle that she thought was handsome and put on a cold pose. She coldly said,"Don't be infatuated with me, I'm just a legend."
