460 In the End, Still Have to Run Away (1/2)

Within the black tide of the western mountain in the savage land was Wang Lu's important place of cultivation.

Within the black tide, Wang Lu learned to use Non-Phase Sword Qi outside his body and became familiar with the method of burning innate vitality. It was also in the black tide that he met with the stupid dog. Later, the dog returned to Spirit Sword Mountain with him and was identified as the Fenrir of the Western Continent...

His cultivation time in the black tide was not long, but the things that he experienced were many, and there were even more mysteries left behind.

Wang Lu had never seen something similar with his experience in the black tide outside of Spirit Sword Mountain, as if it was just a special product of Spirit Sword Mountain. Many strange sights within the black tide were also contrary to common sense, which was quite baffling.

Moreover, after his cultivation in the black tide, there seemed to be some kind of opposition from the Heavenly Sword Hall so that Wang Lu was never allowed to enter the Western Mountain again. Later on, even his Senior Sister Zhu Shiyao, who had always been accustomed to cultivate in the black tide, was also barred from entering the Western Mountain.

This development confused Wang Lu, but the Elders insisted on keeping quiet. Thus, Wang Lu realized that the Elders had no intention of letting them know. That being the case… Wang Lu respected their wish. In any case, Wang Lu had always been busy with things, so there was no need for him to deliberately open this case.

And now, when Wang Lu once again saw the black tide, and the mystery in his mind became even more mysterious.

The black tide in the demon world was far more terrible than what he saw at the foot of the Western Mountain. The thick darkness brought a tremendous sense of oppression. In the past, he was still in Qi Cultivating Stage, yet he was able to survive the black tide of Western Mountain. However, right now, he had already reached Jindan Stage, and his strength was one hundred times more than that in the past, nevertheless, the oppression that he felt now made him difficult to move.

In the past, if he didn't just stay in the Western Mountain, but ventured deep into the savage land, he would've probably encountered a black tide with such an intensity. However… why?

Why did the black tide in the savage land appear in the demon world? It would be too much to say it was just a coincidence, but to say that there was a link between the two… How could Spirit Sword Sect have a link with the demon world?

Unfortunately, there was no time for Wang Lu to think about it because the black tide had begun to descend upon them.

Faced with this sudden change, Qiong Hua and the others were a bit dazed. Although each of them had their own survival card, no one could guarantee that they could survive under the black tide. Because such a catastrophe was simply unheard of!

”Dig the ground!”

In his critical moment, Wang Lu acted as the leader. While issuing his order, he took the lead by beginning to dig a deep hole in the ground using his Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword Qi.

”Get inside!”

After the five of them went inside that hole, Wang Lu immediately launched an earth element spell to seal the entrance of the hole. He then took several pieces of jade from his mustard seed bag and lit them.

Luckily, as a professional adventurer, he was a natural hoarder—things that could be saved would not be thrown away by him… He still had the things that he found in Western Mountain!

The bright jade was really miraculous. After several of them were simultaneously ignited, the hole became a big bright place. The dark fog that penetrated through the cracks in the soil were slammed back.

Wang Lu finally sighed in relief. The bright jade that he used to expel the black tide when he was still in Qi Cultivating Stage was actually still useful against this black tide that had more than ten thousand times of intensity.

”What are these?” Zhou Mumu curiously tried to touch them with her hand.

Wang Lu unceremoniously swatted away her hand. ”Why are you trying to touch things? Aren't you afraid that they might be excrement?”

”Humph.” Zhou Mumu withdrew her hand in disdain.

However, the eyes of the nearby Zhan Ziye suddenly lit up. ”Hey, these… these are the seeds of Eternal Tree!”

”Huh?” Wang Lu was taken aback. ”The seed of the Eternal Tree?”

Zhan Ziye repeatedly nodded, then he took out a set of equipment and instruments from his mustard seed bag. He then unceremoniously picked up a piece of a mostly still complete bright jade from the pile that had already been ignited, extinguished its flame, and put it into a jade bottle.

The base of the jade bottle had many thin threads that were attached to a complete set of measuring instruments. A moment later, the water screen of the instruments projected many complex numbers and marks.

While watching it, Zhan Ziye nodded his head in confirmation. ”There's no mistake, this is the seed of Eternal Tree. If you don't believe, take a look at it yourself!”

With that, he once again summoned the Eternal Tree from his Jade Mansion. However, this time, there was only one branch, and at the end of the branch, there was a clear and shiny crystal, which seemed to be eighty to ninety percent similar to that of the bright jade!

Wang Lu immediately became confused. How could the seeds of the Eternal Tree appear in the savage land of Nine Regions? Was there any logic in this?

At this time, one of the demon race girls who was brought by Qiong Hua and was still bound once again suddenly jumped and then asked in a stern voice, ”Where did you get this?”

Wang Lu kicked her back to the ground. ”Pay attention to your identity, miss meat toilet, it's not your place to yell here.”

”Where did you get the Eternal Tree seeds?”

”Still want to interrupt? Didn't you guys already consider yourselves as dead? As dead people, you should stay on the ground and not move.”

After a moment of silence, the arrogance of the two demon girls was suddenly extinguished, and their attitude became extremely soft. ”Please, please tell us where you guys found the seeds of Eternal Tree?”

Wang Lu reached out his finger and pointed at Zhan Ziye. ”From his stomach.”

”…”

”What? You don't believe me? Do you think it's impossible to have a tree seed inside a person's stomach? Humph, have you guys ever eaten fish eggs?”
