Chapter 235: The Great Opportunity of the Fusang Wood
The sudden voice made Tian Yuan stop his movements.
The words were not directed at him, but were a communication of pure intent, as Mount Buzhou sensed a fluctuation.
With a look of surprise and doubt, Tian Yuan immediately calmed his mind and found the source of the call at the first moment.
The Southern Land; that intent actually came from the Southern Land.
Only a moment later, Tian Yuan's eyes lit up, his face filled with joy.
Fusang Wood! It was actually the voice emitted by the Fusang Wood! There were quite a few Supreme Innate Spiritual Roots in his Consciousness Space; the Banana Tree, Bitter Bamboo, and others were all there, having earlier helped prop up the light screen of the East, and now they had all birthed spiritual intelligence.
Although they still could not take human form, they could be considered a type of living being and could likewise cultivate.
The Fusang Wood had been retrieved by Tian Yuan from the Sun Star, originally with the intention of absorbing the flames of the Southern Land.
Just as Tian Yuan had thought, the Fusang Wood had indeed absorbed quite a lot of flames over these years, but it had not birthed spiritual intelligence like the Bitter Bamboo.
Although Tian Yuan found it a bit strange, he did not think much of it; after all, the Fusang Wood had not propped up a light screen like the Bitter Bamboo and the other Innate Spiritual Roots.
During these years in the Consciousness Space, apart from absorbing flames, there had been no other abnormalities.
He had not expected that after such a long time, it would actually be able to communicate with Mount Buzhou.
In this world, there were many that could communicate with Mount Buzhou, such as the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Fire Cloud Cave, the Sea of Blood, and Kunlun Mountain, but they were almost all things unique to the Primordial World.
Their life characteristics were in a completely different category from the Fusang Wood, and more importantly, that group was all more or less related to the Earthly Dao or Humanity.
Now that the Fusang Wood could also communicate intent with Mount Buzhou, this meant that the Fusang Wood was not simply a Supreme Innate Spiritual Root; perhaps, like Huluwa, it had a special mission.
How could such an unexpected discovery not make Tian Yuan happy?
Moreover, the meaning behind the Fusang Wood's words seemed to be able to resolve the trouble at hand.
As the Earth Veins were continuously dredged and the will of Mount Buzhou strengthened, the Primordial World indeed still hid many secrets.
Tian Yuan had the ability to handle the situation before him, but it would undoubtedly take quite a bit of effort.
Now that the Fusang Wood had brought it up on its own, perhaps it was also the other's great opportunity.
Di Jun, who had been planning to watch Tian Yuan show off his skills, grew suspicious the moment he saw him standing motionless.
Yuanfeng did not stop because they had held back; there was still a continuous surge of energy emerging.
For every breath of time that dragged on, the flames of the Southern Land would grow one degree more intense.
For the sake of the Southern Earth Veins, Tian Yuan had captured ten Little Golden Crows long ago to absorb the flames; why was he not seizing the time now? Wangshu shook her head; having caused Tian Yuan such great trouble, she did not dare to open her mouth to ask.
Seeing the other's expression, Di Jun frowned but did not say a word.
But the next second, his gaze narrowed sharply, and he stared in astonishment at the stone man in front of him.
Tian Yuan stood in the flowing magma, neither casting magic nor mobilizing his will; he had actually just beckoned into the void.
Just as Di Jun was feeling puzzled, he frowned.
In that dark void, a towering giant tree emerged, as if approaching from a distant void.
With its familiar appearance and extremely familiar aura, how could Di Jun not recognize that giant tree? It was precisely the Fusang Wood stolen by Tian Yuan.
Wangshu also saw the Fusang Wood summoned by Tian Yuan, her eyes filled with strangeness.
The Fusang Wood was one of the ten great Supreme Innate Spiritual Roots of the Primordial World and was also a fire-attribute spiritual root; the two Demon Emperors of the Demon Court were born upon the Fusang Wood within the Sun Star.
In this situation, was Tian Yuan intending to rely on the Fusang Wood to suppress Yuanfeng? A Supreme Innate Spiritual Root was indeed extraordinary, but even they, as Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals, were powerless; what use was a mere Fusang Wood?
Wangshu was perplexed, and Di Jun beside her was likewise filled with doubt.
However, upon seeing Tian Yuan take out the Fusang Wood in this manner, the doubt on his face gradually turned into a trace of embarrassment.
The Fusang Wood was not only the only Supreme Innate Spiritual Root of the Demon Court, but it also held a sacred significance for them, the Three-Legged Golden Crows; yet now it had fallen into Tian Yuan's hands.
Even if he watched it with his own eyes now, he was powerless to do anything.
Amidst Di Jun's complex gaze, the Fusang Tree broke out from the void.
Having been kept by Tian Yuan for so many years, the branches of the Fusang Wood had indeed become much denser.
Within the crisscrossing pitch-black trunk, Di Jun could feel a thick, scorching energy.
Tian Yuan, holding the Fusang Wood in one palm, swept a glance at the distant phantom of Yuanfeng and gave a light toss with his right hand.
The Fusang Wood grew against the wind, instantly transforming into a towering divine tree, descending toward the Yuanfeng that was flapping its wings and floating in the magma.
Seeing Tian Yuan throw the Fusang Wood out directly, Di Jun's expression grew anxious, but he still suppressed the words in his mouth.
Although he did not believe in the Fusang Wood either, Tian Yuan's strength could not be questioned.
Since Tian Yuan did this, he must have his own plans; he could only watch the descending divine tree nervously with both eyes.
Facing Tian Yuan's actions, the distant phantom of Yuanfeng still had no reaction.
Only the energy sweeping in from the air caused the branches of the Fusang Wood to rustle.
Compared to Di Jun's nervousness, Tian Yuan felt only curiosity.
Under the gaze of the three, the moment the Fusang Wood landed on Yuanfeng's back, dense roots extended and quickly pierced into its body. In almost an instant, pitch-black energy surged up the massive, dark trunk.
At the same time, the Chaos Energy enveloping Yuanfeng's body also rapidly poured into the Fusang Wood.
In the silent void, a rustling sound continued, and the Fusang Wood's massive, dense branches began to shake and tremble violently.
Seeing this scene, Di Jun looked anxious and whispered softly, "With such massive energy, how can a mere Supreme Innate Spiritual Root absorb it?"
He did not know if he was saying it to himself or to Tian Yuan.
He had just had a brief exchange with Yuanfeng, and that massive energy had already faintly exceeded that of a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal; he was somewhat worried that the Fusang Wood would be unable to bear it.
Tian Yuan did not respond, only quietly watching the Fusang Wood before him.
Di Jun felt heartache for the Fusang Wood, and Tian Yuan would likewise not casually harm this Supreme Innate Spiritual Root.
The Fusang Wood choosing to contact Mount Buzhou at this time clearly meant there would be an unexpected harvest.
As the Fusang Wood continuously absorbed, the energy emitted by Yuanfeng clearly weakened a lot.
Only, as time passed, all the branches of the Fusang Wood began to exude an eerie, dark light, and even Chaos Energy began to seep out.
Wangshu, who was nearby, walked up and said with some worry, "Dao Brother! The Fusang Wood is about to reach its limit."
It was not just because Di Jun kept winking, but because the current state of the Fusang Tree was indeed as she had said.
From the intertwined trunk and branches, violent vibrations could already be heard.
If it continued to absorb any more, this fire-attribute Supreme Innate Spiritual Root might very well explode and perish.
Tian Yuan replied without turning his head: "This is its own choice!"
Di Jun and Wangshu could both see the state of the Fusang Tree; how could Tian Yuan not see it?
He had long since secretly communicated with the Fusang Tree using the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness, but the response he received was "do not worry."
Tian Yuan never dared to underestimate any living being in the Primordial World; since the Fusang Tree was confident, Tian Yuan naturally would not stop it, and he was also very curious about the Fusang Tree's goal.
"It?" Wangshu was stunned, looking at the distant Fusang Tree in astonishment.
Di Jun, not far away, had long been listening intently and naturally heard it clearly.
With wide eyes, he instantly met the questioning gaze Wangshu cast toward him.
Although the Fusang Tree had always been on the Sun Star, it was a close neighbor, and Wangshu had never heard that it had developed intelligence.
Di Jun also shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with confusion.
In the entire Primordial World, if one were to speak of who was most familiar with the Fusang Tree, it would be the two brothers.
Having missed the optimal time for awakening intelligence, and with a form that was too massive, it could only be a Supreme Innate Spiritual Root.
Yet today, the implication of Tian Yuan's words was that he could actually communicate with the Fusang Tree.
Looking from afar, the Fusang Tree was indeed much more lively than before.
Di Jun, with a puzzled expression, subconsciously extended a wisp of his Primordial Spirit, drifting toward the distant Fusang Tree.
Because of the Fusang Tree, the surrounding Chaos Energy was all pouring into it, and Di Jun's Primordial Spirit successfully made contact with a branch that had spread out.
Unfortunately, apart from sensing the terrifying energy within the Fusang Tree, there was no response from the other party.
Looking around, a flash of light passed through Di Jun's eyes. This was the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space; perhaps a special method was needed.
Thinking this, Di Jun immediately mobilized the small amount of Sun Star Will he possessed.
As soon as his will touched the Fusang Tree, a faint response came: "Stop trying, I'm busy!"
???? Di Jun's pupils dilated sharply as he stared blankly at that familiar Supreme Innate Spiritual Root in the distance.
Had the Fusang Tree really awakened its intelligence?
How long had it been since Tian Yuan took the Fusang Tree? Was it a coincidence or some other reason?
From the other party's words, Di Jun even sensed a hint of impatience.
Before the two brothers had taken human form, they had already been with the Fusang Tree; it would not be an exaggeration to say they were born together.
How long had it been with Tian Yuan, and it had actually defected?
Di Jun withdrew his will, his expression shifting repeatedly, his heart filled with mixed feelings and a sense of discomfort.
Glancing strangely at Di Jun beside her, Wangshu asked in confusion: "Demon Emperor, was there a response?"
She had also secretly tried just now, but there had been no reaction at all.
Looking at Di Jun's expression now, it seemed he had gained something.
"Hmm!" Di Jun replied softly, but did not say anything more.
Wangshu frowned, muttering to herself, but seeing that Di Jun was in a bad mood, she did not ask again.
Tian Yuan, standing in front, naturally saw the actions of the two, but simply ignored them.
