Chapter 742

His gaze fell upon the Xunmu, carefully examining 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 a single tree.

"It truly is 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" art from the Tiangang Daoist 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 peak of Shushan first after escaping, preparing to destroy the Fusang Divine Tree.

It turned out he had already destroyed the Xunmu.

The Xunmu seemed to be an important link in sealing him. He destroyed the Xunmu because he did not want to be sealed again?

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

He found it somewhat difficult to accept this fact.

The Xunmu was a divine tree as famous as the Fusang. It had already been destroyed by Did Chi You. Earlier, on the peak of Shushan, if Su Xuan had not taken action, would the Fusang Divine Tree also have been destroyed by Did Chi You's hand?

Su Xuan continued forward, ignoring the destroyed Xunmu.

Golden light was released from his body; at this moment, he was like a human-shaped lightbulb, continuing forward, and saw another coffin wrapped in the Xunmu bushes.

Vines were wrapped around the coffin. This coffin was purple all over, and compared to the surrounding Xunmu, it appeared out of place.

On the lid of the coffin, there was an incomparably deep crack. Even though the thing sealed inside no longer existed, wisps of black mist still lingered at the crack and would not 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 toward this coffin.

He also noticed the crack on the coffin. Without a doubt, it was this coffin that had cracked first, allowing Did Chi You, who was sealed inside, to escape.

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

Hateful!

If not for Donghuang Taiyi, the Yuyuan seal would absolutely not have had any problems.

As a result, not only did Donghuang Taiyi lose his own life, 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. Very quickly, he arrived in the Xunmu bushes, arriving before 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 toward 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, it dissolved one after another.

"This coffin contains immeasurable 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.

On the peak 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 in terms of divine trees as famous as the Fusang and Xunmu. Very quickly, he thought of a tree whose wood quality was similar to this coffin.

Jianmu!

It is said that Jianmu is located in the center of heaven and earth and is the bridge communicating between heaven, earth, and gods. In this regard, it is quite similar to the Fusang Divine Tree. In legend, the Fusang Divine Tree is also the portal communicating between the three realms of heaven, earth, and the underworld. However, Jianmu is still a bit more powerful than the Fusang Divine Tree.

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

And in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas," there is also a detailed description of the appearance of Jianmu. To put it in layman's terms, it is "green leaves, purple stems, black flowers, yellow fruits; beneath it, there is no sound, and standing, there is no shadow."

This coffin was purple all over, 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 performed the famous Shushan movement technique 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; the absence of a skull made Su Xuan very surprised. ===== CHAPTER 744 =====
