Chapter 239 - Rescue Aunt-Master Tree! (1/2)
In a dark and short room, the low-ranking official brought Li Changshou to that place. After searching for a while, he took out a piece of jade and cast it skillfully.
Soon, a few lines of small words appeared on the surface of the jade…
Looking at the information displayed on the jade, Li Changshou first felt… relieved.
Fortunately, that Aunt-Master had nothing to do with his spiritual trees!
Ahem, he was still worried although the probability of that happening was very low.
Moreover, the idea itself was ridiculous.
However, Li Changshou had been a little worried previously. He was worried that his Aunt-Master’s reincarnation would be among the old trees that he had accidentally chopped. Li Changshou was no longer worried after seeing the records of the Netherworld. Aunt-Master’s reincarnation had nothing to do with him!
She had reincarnated into a Major Chiliocosm!
Li Changshou looked carefully for a while. After confirming that he had not remembered wrongly, he cupped his hands and thanked the low-ranking official beside him before rus.h.i.+ng back to meet up with the Sect Leader.
Saving the tree was as urgent as putting out a fire.
The five of them did not dare to delay any further. They decided to continue moving together and head to the place where the tree spirit of Wan Jiangyu was born. They wanted to see if they could obtain anything.
However… apart from Jiang Lin’er, who was unwilling to give up, and Youqin Xuanya, who still believed that “the humans will trump Heaven and everything will be wonderful”, the other two pure Yang and one man also felt that… their trip was destined to be fruitless. Li Changshou said, “That Major Chiliocosm is quite far away. It would take at least half a month to fly there. I feel that we should spend an hour to ask around in Fengdu City and see if we can find some way out and use the route of the Netherworld to travel to the Major Chiliocosm.”
Next, the token given by Ox-head played a crucial role.
In Li Changshou’s previous life, he had often heard people say that things would be easier to handle with more manpower. It was the same for the Heavenly Courts and the Netherworld. An hour later, the five of them quickly pa.s.sed through the “well forest” outside Fengdu City under the lead of a Netherworld servant. The so-called “well forest” was actually the pa.s.sage that the City G.o.d servants took to catch ghosts in the five continents and the trichiliocosm. It was connected to the City G.o.d Temples in various places.
That place was similar to the rear hall of Elder Moon’s Marriage Affinity Hall. From the outside, it looked like dozens of dry wells that contained the power of the Heavenly Dao. They were arranged in a mysterious array formation. After stepping into it, one would realize that they had fallen into the ocean of the “dried-up well”.
Li Changshou sighed…
There were countless Major and Minor Chiliocosms!
Also, the management of the Netherworld was really messy. The Heavenly Dao Land was actually thrown outside the city. It was just a little defensive array formation. It was not even guarded by any soldiers.
They were not giving the Heavenly Dao any face.
He could not continue looking anymore. If Li Changshou looked any longer, he would not be able to hold it in anymore. He would begin to plan for the merit of the Netherworld.
If he could make the Netherworld part of the Heavenly Courts and complete the reinforcement of order in the Netherworld, half of his Golden Body of Merit would probably be able to be completed! All these years of acc.u.mulation of incense merit from the Sea G.o.d Sect, he had only acc.u.mulated enough to form half a finger.
True Golden Finger.
In comparison, there were indeed too many opportunities in the Netherworld.
The five people of Immortal Du Sect were led by the Netherworld servant to a dry well that had the words ‘Earth Spirit 957’ written on it.
Li Changshou was still trying to confirm if that well was the correct “route” to head there straight. The white-robed Exalted w.a.n.g Qing and Jiang Lin’er who was clad in a white dress, had already jumped into the well together.
The scene actually had an indescribable beauty.
Ji Wuyou thanked the Netherworld servants and lowered his head to jump into the well, after which he sent a voice transmission to Li Changshou and Youqin Xuanya and instructed them to be at ease and jump into the well too.
Li Changshou held onto a treasure pouch containing Spirit Stones and precious materials and smiled as he gave it to the Netherworld servants who brought them there. Then, he turned his head and said, “Junior Sister Youqin, you can leave first.” Youqin Xuanya shook her head gently and said, “No, Senior Brother Changshou, you jump, I jump.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Why did it suddenly become romantic?
He did not decline. He knew that Youqin Xuanya wanted to look out for them. He lifted the hem of his Daoist robe slightly and walked into the dry well. Youqin Xuanya followed closely behind with her sword on her back.
The light in front of them changed, and the surrounding scene changed as well.
There was a long and dark path in front of him. Light yellow light spots were flickering everywhere…
Sect Leader Ji Wuyou waited at a spot that was not far away. He enveloped the five of them with his Golden Immortal realm immortal power again and used his mystical abilities to bring them back to the exit.
In just a moment, they flew far away. There was a little light in front of them. They had reached the end of the road.
They entered the dry well and walked out of the other dry well. They ended up in a dilapidated temple.
In just a short while, they were far away from the five continents. When they arrived in the Major Chiliocosm, they felt… a little surreal. Ji Wuyou praised, “As expected of a treasure land of reincarnation, the Netherworld is actually so brilliant.”
Exalted w.a.n.g Qing seemed to have realized something. He mumbled, “The power of the Heavenly Dao is not something that can be achieved by humans.”
Li Changshou’s thoughts were not that complicated. They were much simpler than the two seniors…
I can use the City G.o.d Temple’s Dried-up Well as a system to quickly deploy troops. It’s quite stealthy.
Yes, after I go back, I must a.n.a.lyze it carefully. I shall create ‘The Transportation System of The City G.o.d Temple Which Can Be Used In Various Schemes’.
Jiang Lin’er hurriedly said, “Changshou…”
“This way, follow me!”
Li Changshou had already identified his direction and hurriedly led the way at this moment.
Ji Wuyou flicked his long sleeve, swept up four people, and charged towards the mountain range that was thousands of kilometers away.
Along the way, they pa.s.sed through the clouds and fog, moving at lightning speed. It was as if they would be able to find the reincarnation of the tree spirit of Wan Jiangyu as long as they rushed there.
Soon, in a deep valley, the five of them stood in the depths of a lush forest. They looked at the old crooked tree with fallen leaves in front of them. Their hearts were heavy.
Jiang Lin’er, who had held her tears back throughout the entire journey, could not help but tear up.
She said hoa.r.s.ely, “First Disciple… Jiangyu, Master is late…”
Exalted w.a.n.g Qing hugged Jiang Lin’er and comforted her softly.
Although Ji Wuyou had long known that that would happen, he could not help but sigh. He stood with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were filled with sorrow.
He thought of the figures that had disappeared from his fingertips during the pa.s.sage of time.
“Senior Brother Changshou,” Youqin Xuanya asked softly, “Is it really impossible to save her?”
“Don’t worry.” Li Changshou muttered to himself. He took two steps forward, raised his hand, and pressed it against the trunk of the old tree. He closed his eyes and sensed it carefully.
The tree spirit was forcefully extracted and the old tree’s vitality was stripped away. That situation…
If I were the one who did this, why would I do that?
This old tree should be thousands of years old. It had yet to cultivate into a tree spirit. Its rich vitality had nurtured a tree spirit, which was the reincarnation of Wan Jiangyu.
Although spirits and spiritual beings were similar, there was a detailed distinction.
That old tree was similar to Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu’s parents in this life…
The cultivation level of the person who extracted the tree spirit should not be higher than the Heaven Immortal realm. There were still some Dao runes left in that place. The other party had cultivated the Li Fire Dao…
