Chapter 446: The power of the Fusang Divine Tree!
Su Xuan paid no heed to Yu Jun's angry words. His gaze fell upon the constantly swaying Fusang Divine Tree; from the Fusang Divine Tree, he felt a familiar power.
This gave him some answers in his heart.
'Does this tree have a connection to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden?'
Setting aside what the mythology in history was originally, the mythology of this world did indeed have some discrepancies with the original history, and because of the difference in mythology, history itself had also undergone some minor changes.
Although the general trend had not changed, in the original work, there were indeed many people who should have died who were still alive.
Su Xuan had studied the Huang Shi Heavenly Book and was even more familiar with the original work.
He was clearer than ordinary people that the civilization of this world began with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden.
Or rather, all mysteries were related to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, "280," was suspected to be the incarnation of "Lady Xuanji" in this world. Perhaps it was because both names contained the character "Xuan" that the other party chose such a role to be her incarnation.
After various thoughts flashed by, Su Xuan's mind returned to reality. "Great Elder, there is no need to be so angry. I have come to Shushan today with sincerity; I do not intend to be your enemy!"
"Sincerity? I have not seen any sincerity!"
Shushan Great Elder Yu Jun's voice was cold. Su Xuan had arrived at Shushan without a sound; if not for the Divine Tree's warning, and if not for the fact that he happened to be divining, no one would have discovered this person's existence at all.
Was this what he called sincerity?
It was clearly harboring evil intentions!
"Whether you believe it or not, I have indeed shown sincerity."
Su Xuan said indifferently, "If I had not come with sincerity, I would not be the only one here this time. If I had come, it would have been the great army of the Qin State!"
"Although Shushan has inherited its traditions for a thousand years, by remaining isolated and conservative, you are still stuck in the tribal era of a thousand years ago. I fear you do not know how powerful the blade of the Qin State's army is in the world today!"
"If the army were to come here, only one outcome would await you: the Shushan tribe would become a thing of the past!"
As these few words were spoken by Su Xuan, Yu Jun's expression grew even graver.
"Are you threatening me?"
"No!" Su Xuan shook his head. "I am merely telling you a certain fact."
His tone shifted again. "So that you may understand: what I want to take, you cannot guard. If you are sensible, it would be best to hand over what I want."
"What is it that you want?" Yu Jun asked coldly.
Whether he was willing to hand that thing over to Su Xuan was one thing, but before that, he had to know what Su Xuan was plotting to seize and what his purpose for coming to Shushan was.
"I want this tree behind you!"
Su Xuan's gaze fell upon the large, constantly swaying tree behind Yu Jun.
Upon hearing this, Yu Jun was instantly enraged.
Several hundred years ago, Shushan took in people from the Yinyang School, but the Yinyang School people were not grateful; instead, they secretly incited the people of Shushan, thereby sparking an internal rebellion. After that rebellion, a portion of Shushan's heritage was lost, and from then on, the Fusang Divine Tree lost the Three-Legged Golden Crow that matched it. However, the method to refine the Golden Crow's power could only be called a cultivation technique, but the Fusang Divine Tree itself was different.
The Divine Tree had stood at the peak of this mountain for far more than a thousand years, and beneath it lay the suppressed Yuyuan Forbidden Land.
The Shushan tribe had served the Divine Tree and guarded Yuyuan for generations.
Other things could be lost, but the Divine Tree was different; the Divine Tree could not be lost!
"Presumptuous!"
A cold voice came from Yu Jun; he no longer cared whether the person from the Yinyang School had come with sincerity.
He raised his arm, and the shadow of a black dragon-snake appeared, flying toward Su Xuan.
The dragon-snake was vivid and lifelike, tearing toward Su Xuan.
Su Xuan's expression remained unchanged. He raised his arm gently, as if holding an eraser to wipe away something written incorrectly, and the dragon-snake slowly vanished into nothingness.
"Great Elder, why be so irritable!"
Su Xuan looked at the furious Shushan Great Elder and said softly, "The Divine Tree is but a dead object. Even if it has birthed some spirituality, it is ultimately not a real person. Whether the tree is more important or human life is more important, I hope the Great Elder can consider this clearly."
"Say no more! My Shushan tribe, even if we exhaust the strength of the entire clan, will ensure the Divine Tree remains unharmed!"
"Before you plot to seize the Divine Tree, I will kill you first!"
Yu Jun's words revealed his determination. He waved his hands, and in an instant, a gale arose.
The world became dim. In the dark world, a gale swept through, carrying flying sand and moving stones.
During the Battle of Zhuolu in the past, Did Chi You had once stirred up a gale, causing the world to become dim and causing the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan to lose his way. The method Yu Jun was currently employing was the heritage left behind by the "Wind Count and Rain Master" of that year.
After the gale and the flying sand and stones swirled around Su Xuan, he used the bloodline of the Yu clan to stir the Fusang Divine Tree behind him.
The Divine Tree immediately stopped swaying, and a vast, unparalleled power of heaven and earth was drawn in, then conducted through the Divine Tree as a hub to Yu Jun's body.
"Destroy!"
Yu Jun let out a sharp shout. In an instant, golden light, like a giant sun, pierced through the gale and arrived before Su Xuan.
The dim world became bright in an instant. When Su Xuan saw all things clearly again, he saw only the golden light sweeping toward him, containing a terrifying power capable of destroying all things.
This power was supreme, yang, and rigid, reminding Su Xuan of a certain ultimate technique of the Yinyang School, named—Soul-Dragon Flight!
The two were unexpectedly similar.
Su Xuan had the answer immediately.
So, did Soul-Dragon Flight originate from the power of the Fusang Divine Tree?
Because the Divine Tree had its own magical characteristics, it could easily gather powerful heaven and earth energy. Humans, however, were different; relying solely on human strength, one had to possess extremely powerful force to perform Soul-Dragon Flight.
Within the Yinyang School, excluding the deceased Star Soul, currently only the Moon Goddess and Concubine Yan could accomplish this.
But even the Soul-Dragon Flight they performed was absolutely no match for this powerful force released by the Fusang Divine Tree at this moment.
The Divine Tree reached the heavens, was unimaginably huge, and the heaven and earth energy it gathered far exceeded the limits of the human body.
