429 The Last Card (2/2)
The answer had now been revealed—because of Wang Lu's previous conversation, which forced him to take this death road!
—
Wang Lu didn't tell this scheme to anyone, nor did he intend to. In fact, after being misled by Wang Lu, Zhan Ziye used his Ten Thousand Methods Comprehension to simulate the existence of Sacred Leaf to communicate with the Eternal Tree so that his magical power dried up, and his primordial spirit atrophied and was forcibly driven away from the immortal dream land. And all along, he was not aware that he had been deceived.
Of course, he might have also realized that, but he just didn't care.
When he finally left the scene, Zhan Ziye brought a victory smile along with him.
Wang Lu, after all, I didn't degenerate into a pawn in your chessboard, nor did I lose my humanity. The most important thing is that, I got what I've wanted from this, and it doesn't lose to the big harvest of any of you guys. You can have that five blood spirit crown. I hope your harvest can bless you forever.
When Zhan Ziye left the field, nobody could understand the inside story of this, except for one person.
”Oh, what a beautiful scheme.” The smile on Wang Lu's face suddenly turned cold, but his tone of voice was rather playful. ”It is indeed in style with my missionary work.”
Wang Lu clicked his tongue and said, ”Originally, I was quite proud of this, but since it has been reviewed as such by you, it suddenly seems not quite good anymore.”
Faceless One said, ”Although I hate you, I recognize your ability. There are only two things that matter in this world, the first is raw power, and the other one is the ability to play with people's heart. One of these seems to have been perfected by you.”
Wang Lu smiled but thought otherwise. ”Do you think a skill is necessary to play a nerd? Wait until the day I can let my Master find her moral integrity, then you can shout at my virtuous achievement… But, in any case, the Eternal Tree has appeared on time, so it has solved the urgent need. Now we just wait for Qiong Hua's response.”
”The energy of this Eternal Tree is infinite. If controlled appropriately, it could be compared to a Holy One of Western Continent. Unfortunately, no one in this world could have such a cultivation base.” Faceless One lightly commented, ”Especially since the Eternal Tree is being controlled by two young children, I'm afraid its power is even hard to maintain.”
”But it's more than enough to steamroll a Jindan Stage cultivator. I'm really looking forward to it. Senior Sister Qiong Hua, how are you going to break this card of mine?”
—
The same question also arose in Qiong Hua's heart.
After waking up her five senses, she saw the towering Eternal Tree rose from the ground and sensed its surging-wave-like hostility which shook the soul.
Such divine thing had already far exceeded the scope that this world should have. The cultivation base in this immortal dream land was limited to just before Jindan Stage. By the secret method from Shengjing Sect, after entering this world, she quickly restored Jindan Stage cultivation base to occupy the absolute strength, but it only stopped there. Yet, the level of this Eternal Tree was even far beyond the Yuanying Stage. If based on this alone, let alone Qiong Hua, even the Elders of Shengjing Sect might not be its match. Even if the tree was only controlled by the two children, making it difficult for it to display its full potential, it would still be really difficult for her to confront it.
So, how would she break this barrier?
The secret method of trinity was indeed powerful, but it was still not enough to counterbalance the Eternal Tree. Let alone the effectiveness of the secret method was limited, so it was impossible to maintain it for long. In this state, although her strength could rise to the peak, able to expel all kinds of evil, but her golden core would lose its ability to continuously grow so her magical power might dry up.
If the secret method could not work, then there was only the last choice.
Qiong Hua's temperament was decisive, so as soon as she decided, she immediately implemented it. She took a deep breath and held the Immortal Dew sword across her chest. Her right hand held the sword hilt while her left hand was on top of the sword, lightly brushing it. At the same time, inside her Jade Mansion, a sacrificial sword slowly floated and echoed with the outside sword.
Then, a clear stream flowed down towards the sacrificial sword. The source of the stream was a freehand landscape painting that came from the wall of her Jade Mansion. At first, this clear stream seemed to appear like a mere decoration, however, at this time, the essence of clear spring flowed through it and washed the Immortal Dew sword.
Immortal Dew was by definition pure and dirtless, why would it need to be washed?
However, under the clear stream, the word 'Immortal Dew' that was engraved on the sword body was actually vaguely scrubbed. Then two sharp words emerged.
Kill Immortal!
