Chapter 458

Golden light shrouded Su Xuan's body, dazzling and brilliant.

The light condensed from Su Xuan's magic power finally illuminated the Yuyuan. The rules within the Yuyuan could curb the light generated by the power of heaven and earth, but they could not curb this light released by Su Xuan himself.

This was also the first time the Yuyuan had seen light since its birth.

The golden light spread in all directions.

Yu Jun, while distancing himself from Su Xuan due to the pressure brought by the golden light, also looked around. Because of the golden light released from Su Xuan's body, the scene within the Yuyuan was also seen clearly by him.

Perhaps because light could not be projected here, the ground was black, dark, and damp.

The entire Yuyuan appeared desolate.

"So the bottom of the Yuyuan is like this!"

Yu Jun also looked like he had gained some knowledge. Although the Shushan Shilan tribe had guarded the Yuyuan for two thousand years, due to ancestral teachings, they had never stepped into the Yuyuan, so this was his first time witnessing the true face of the Yuyuan.

He sighed at the desolation of the Yuyuan.

However, he did not think so for long, just because he followed Su Xuan, who was emitting golden light and had turned into a small golden man, and continued forward, a vast forest appeared in his eyes.

"Could this be?"

After seeing this forest, Yu Jun was stunned, and then thought of some records in the ancestral books.

"Xunmu!"

"I didn't expect that Xunmu actually existed!"

Earlier, when he told Su Xuan about the origin of the Yuyuan, he only mentioned that the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden moved the Fusang Divine Tree, letting the divine tree stand at the summit of Shushan, attracting the power of heaven and earth to suppress the Yuyuan forever. But in reality, in legend, there should be another tree at the bottom of the Yuyuan, named "Xunmu." However, because the Shilan tribe had never stepped into the Yuyuan, they did not know if the legend was true or if Xunmu existed.

On the contrary, the Fusang Divine Tree had always stood at the summit of Shushan, worshipped by them for generations.

"Xunmu...?"

Su Xuan heard Yu Jun's words and also thought of this tree recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

"The vast Xunmu grows by the river. Its branches stretch for a thousand miles. Above, it touches the clouds and sky. Its shade covers the four poles, and below, it covers the Yuyuan."

"If it is Xunmu, it is reasonable for it to appear in the Yuyuan!"

His gaze fell on the Xunmu, and he carefully examined this tree that was as famous as the Fusang Divine Tree. It looked like a forest, but in reality, these trees all came from the same root system; the so-called trees were nothing more than branches derived from one tree.

"It is truly a magical tree, but unfortunately, it seems to have suffered heavy damage, and its vitality is gone."

Su Xuan had practiced part of the "Resurrection" technique from the Tiangang Dao Arts and had some insights into the Dao of life and death, so he saw the state of the Xunmu at the first moment.

No wonder Did Chi You went to the summit of Shushan first after breaking free, preparing to destroy the Fusang Divine Tree.

It turned out he had already destroyed the Xunmu.

The Xunmu seemed to be an important part of sealing him. Did he destroy the Xunmu because he did not want to be sealed again?

After hearing Su Xuan's words, Yu Jun also learned of the state of the Xunmu, and his face changed drastically, "How could this be..."

He found it hard to accept this fact.

The Xunmu was a divine tree as famous as the Fusang. It had already been destroyed by Did Chi You. At the summit of Shushan earlier, if Su Xuan had not taken action, would the Fusang Divine Tree also have been destroyed by Did Chi You?

Su Xuan continued forward, ignoring the destroyed Xunmu.

Golden light was released from his body. At this moment, he was like a human light bulb, continuing forward, and saw a coffin wrapped in the Xunmu thicket.

Vines were wrapped around the coffin, and this coffin was entirely purple. Compared with the surrounding Xunmu, it seemed out of place.

On the lid of the coffin, there was an incredibly deep crack. Even though the thing sealed within no longer existed, there were still wisps of black mist lingering at the crack, refusing to dissipate.

"Is this Did Chi You's coffin?"

Su Xuan looked at the coffin and said softly.

Yu Jun came back to his senses and also hurriedly looked at this coffin.

He also noticed the crack on the coffin. There was no doubt that it was this coffin that had cracked first, allowing Did Chi You, who was sealed within, to break free.

Thinking of this, he was filled with hatred for Donghuang Taiyi, who had rashly broken into the Yuyuan.

Hateful!

If it weren't for Donghuang Taiyi, the Yuyuan seal would never have had an incident.

As a result, not only did Donghuang Taiyi get himself involved, but he also caused all living beings in the world to have to face a massive crisis.

Su Xuan still maintained his protective divine light, his figure floating out. Soon, he arrived in the Xunmu thicket, in front of this purple coffin. He placed his palm on the coffin, and the black mist still remaining on the coffin seemed to have found some parasitic object, surging towards Su Xuan. Unfortunately, Su Xuan was not Donghuang Taiyi, and his protective divine light was not Donghuang Taiyi's protective qi shield. When the residual black mist touched the golden light, they dissolved one after another.

"This coffin contains infinite vitality. Could it be that the thing that made this coffin was also an amazing tree!"

Su Xuan carefully examined this coffin and sensed the vitality contained within it.

At the summit of Shushan, there was the Fusang Divine Tree, and here, there was another divine tree like the Xunmu. Therefore, upon seeing this purple coffin, Su Xuan inevitably thought of it as a divine tree as famous as the Fusang and Xunmu. Soon, he thought of a tree with a similar wood quality to this coffin.

Jianmu!

Legend has it that Jianmu was located in the center of heaven and earth and was a bridge communicating between heaven, earth, and gods. In this respect, it was very similar to the Fusang Divine Tree. In legend, the Fusang Divine Tree was also a portal communicating between the three realms of heaven, earth, and the underworld. However, Jianmu was still a bit more powerful than the Fusang Divine Tree.

In legend, Emperor Emperor Zhuanxu ordered Zhong and Li to cut off the connection between heaven and earth, and the first thing was to cut (good good good) the Jianmu, completely severing the channel between the human world and the divine world.

And in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas," there was a detailed description of the appearance of Jianmu. In layman's terms, it was "green leaves, purple stems, black flowers, yellow fruits, and below it, there was no sound, and standing, there was no shadow."

This coffin was entirely purple, which inevitably made Su Xuan think of the legendary "Jianmu"!

Thoughts flowed, and Su Xuan took action directly, opening the coffin.

While Su Xuan was studying the coffin, Yu Jun also used the famous movement technique of the Shu region and arrived beside Su Xuan. As the coffin lid was lifted, a skeleton immediately entered Su Xuan's eyes.

"Hmm?"

After seeing the skeleton clearly, Su Xuan was stunned.

"Where is his head?"

"Could it be that what is buried here is Xing Tian, not Did Chi You?"

This skeleton was not very complete, and the absence of a skull made Su Xuan very surprised.
