Chapter 109 : G.o.dly Tree Covering the Sky (1)
“How are you able to communicate with the emperor’s aura of the ancestor and turn it into profound mantras?!”
Seeing Li Qiye’s usage of the emperor’s possession, not to mention Gu Tieshou, but even Tu Bu Yu was surprised.
Immortal Emperor Min Ren’s portrait had always been inside the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. Even though the group of Gu Tieshou could activate the emperor’s aura, they couldn’t directly communicate with it like Li Qiye had just done — this was an impossible thing. The emperor’s aura, to a certain degree, was the will of the Immortal Emperor. This was not the same as communicating with mere mortals.
However, Li Qiye easily communicated with it, this was such an incredible matter. In fact, for Li Qiye, this was not a surprising action. He was too familiar with Immortal Emperor Min Ren’s Dao philosophy, how could he not understand the emperor’s aura of Min Ren? Plus, when the portrait saw Su Yonghuang last time, it was not only simply just recognizing Su Yonghuang.
Therefore, it was not a difficult matter for Li Qiye to communicate with the emperor’s aura.
Li Qiye smiled and didn’t say anything. How could outsiders know the internal secret?
Niu Fen ran along the way, like a madman, into the area without any human’s presence and, because the power of Heavenly Beasts and Longevity Spirits were scared of Immortal Emperor Min Ren’s profound mantra, none of them dared to come close.
Finally, they hadn’t went too far before they made it to their destination, only to see a giant tree that covered the sky. This tree was incredibly huge and beyond human imagination. Its base penetrated the horizon while the dragon-like branches broadened to all directions. This giant tree was like a giant umbrella that encompa.s.sed the mountains thousands of miles away.
This gigantic tree shocked everyone. Just a single tiny branch was as big as a small mountain. What was even more amazing was that one could see a waterfall on top of the tree.
How was this still a tree? At one million zhang high, it blocked out the sky. For all of the disciples, and even Gu Tieshou, it was the first time seeing such a huge tree.
When everyone entered the area covered by the shade of the tree, they felt that their spirits relaxed. It was as it their worries were gone and their bodies loosened and were no longer heavy.
Earlier, Niu Fen brought everyone to the dangerous area. Even though the fierce beasts didn’t come closer, everyone still trembled from their terrifying presence. However, at this moment, under the dome of the tree’s shadow, everyone finally felt at peace, as if they were at home.
It seemed that the powerful beasts didn’t dare to approach the radius of this tree. This was no different from a sanctuary within the Evil Infested Ridge. There was no distortion from fierce beasts or ferocious birds.
Entering this land, Niu Ren stopped advancing noisily and silently went straight to the root of the tree.
Here, the scene was even more serene and gave peace to the spectators. It was a safe haven. Even the young deers were eating gra.s.s in a carefree manner while white cranes took leisure strolls near the river and elegantly washed their G.o.dly feathers.
The one million miles surrounding this area was the dangerous zone of the Evil Infested Ridge. The inside and outside of this location was completely different — one step was a stairway to heaven while the other was a road to h.e.l.l.
In a blink, everyone was under the root of the tree. There were gra.s.ses and s.h.i.+ning medicinal plants. With flying birds singing peacefully, it was as if there were no dangers or the presence of war in this place.
“There was such a place in the Evil Infested Ridge?”
In a short amount of time, everyone was in a daze, including Gu Tieshou.
One has to remember that no one dared to set foot inside this area of the Evil Infested Ridge — trespa.s.sing was the same as death! However, here, at the deepest part, there was such a holy ground, rendering others to be astonished.
“How did you know about this place?”
Li Shuangyan stared at Li Qiye in amazement and asked with a perplexed manner.
Li Qiye laughed and answered:
“Calculated with my fingers.”
Then, he immediately jumped down from Niu Fen. The other fascinated disciples also jumped down from the snail. Then, Niu Fen s.h.i.+vered and turned into an old man.
When everyone was still in a daze, Li Qiye went to the front of this giant tree that covered their sights ahead.
“Do you know the Summoning Formation?”
At this moment, Li Qiye asked Li Shuangyan.
Li Shuangyan didn’t know why he asked, but she nodded and said:
“Yes, but to summon from such a dangerous area, I do not have the capability.”
“An ordinary level of skill is fine. Carve on this tree trunk.”
Li Qiye commanded Li Shuangyan.
Li Shuangyan didn’t understand the reason, but she followed Li Qiye’s instruction and engraved an ordinary Summoning Formation on the tree at a short distance away.
Li Qiye converged his spirit and went next to the tree. At this moment, Li Shuangyan was moved; she had rarely seen Li Qiye so solemn. Li Qiye normally wouldn’t even put Royal n.o.bles or Enlightened Beings into his sight, but he appeared to be especially serious at this moment.
Standing in front of the G.o.dly tree, with both hands forming the word ten, he then sat on the ground in a lotus pose and continuously whispered. No one could understand him. [1. Ten is like a cross sign]
No one knew what Li Qiye was doing, but seeing his serious expression, they didn’t dare to disturb.
Sitting on the ground and forming the word ten with his hands, he sincerely prayed:
“That year, when the Evil Typha went back on the offensive, I a.s.sisted you with the ma.s.sacre until it ran away. That year, I connected your branches back together. Today, I brought my fellow disciples here, just for the sake of h.e.l.lish training, hoping that you would be able to protect my fellow disciples…”
Li Qiye sat on the ground and silently prayed. No one knew what Li Qiye was praying about.
