Chapter 1414: Moon Laurel Tree (Second update, requesting everything)

This is a giant silver tree. Li Zhangsheng can smell a refreshing scent of osmanthus, and he sees a large amount of osmanthus flowers dotting the dense branches and leaves.

Moon Laurel Tree!

Li Zhangsheng recognized it at a glance. In fact, when searching through memories regarding the Secret Realm, he already knew there was a Moon Laurel Tree in the Star Emperor Secret Realm, which is why he rushed over impatiently.

The Moon Laurel Tree is the only Superior Quality Top-Grade Spiritual Root of the Star Emperor. It is precisely because of the Moon Laurel Tree that this Secret Realm has been able to maintain a radius of over thirty thousand li; otherwise, if it were a middle or low-grade Top-Grade Spiritual Root, it would definitely be greatly discounted.

The Moon Laurel Tree is a Spirit Root that grows on the moon, connected to the moon's spiritual veins, and possesses a powerful self-healing capability. As long as the Moon Laurel Tree is not destroyed all at once, or its energy supply cut off, it will not die.

Judging from the Star Emperor's memories, he once punished heinous criminals by sending them into the Secret Realm to chop down the Moon Laurel Tree. As long as the Moon Laurel Tree did not fall, these criminals would never gain their freedom. As a result, due to the Moon Laurel Tree's characteristic of instantly recovering upon being injured, there was simply no possibility of it being destroyed. This was likely the longest life sentence in the world.

Li Zhangsheng looked around and discovered some corpses near the Moon Laurel Tree; these were the criminals imprisoned by the Star Emperor. Before the Star Emperor fell, he forcibly shook them to death, leaving not a single one alive, otherwise, accidents might truly have occurred, as these criminals even included Double-Character Kings.

There were no items on these remains, only axes. Aside from being sufficiently hard, these axes had no other effects, so don't even think about picking up any treasures.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng plucked a small cluster of osmanthus flowers.

The Moon Laurel Tree does not bear fruit; its only product is the Moon Laurel, a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure with excellent healing effects. Even if it cannot compare to super-grade Alchemical Pills, it is better than top-tier healing Alchemical Pills; it can be said to be somewhere between the two.

Besides this, if Moon Laurel is added during the process of refining healing Alchemical Pills, it can make the final product more effective and effectively increase the success rate of pill formation.

Unfortunately, it is limited to healing Alchemical Pills.

In addition to Moon Laurel, the Moon Laurel Tree can also condense Moon Essence. When the amount of condensed Moon Essence reaches a certain level, it can release Emperor Flowing Plasma.

Based solely on the grade of the Moon Laurel Tree, its effect is likely not inferior to the Sun Moon Shuttle Heavy Light Wheel. If it were combined with the Fusang Tree to release it, not only would the effect be better, but the range would certainly be larger.

There is no help for it; the Sun Moon Shuttle Heavy Light Wheel was originally refined from the branches of the Fusang Tree and the Moon Laurel Tree.

Judging from the state of the Moon Laurel Tree, the Moon Essence has long since accumulated to fullness.

Unfortunately, Li Zhangsheng's Fusang Tree is still accumulating Sun Essence, and it will take some time before it is full, so he can only let the Moon Laurel Tree keep holding it in.

Anyway, it has already been holding it in for over ten thousand years, so holding it a little longer won't cause any internal injuries.

Li Zhangsheng touched the main trunk of the Moon Laurel Tree and felt it carefully, discovering that the Moon Laurel Tree had not yet birthed spiritual intelligence.

This is perfectly normal; the higher the grade of a Top-tier Spiritual Plant, the less likely it is to birth spiritual intelligence, let alone take human form.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng waved his hand, and the Moon Laurel flowers on the Moon Laurel Tree drifted down in succession, immediately being sucked into a Green Skin Gourd and disappearing.

As for how to merge with the Moon Laurel Tree, given the vastness of the Moon Laurel Tree, its root system likely already covers the entire Secret Realm, making transplantation very difficult. Li Zhangsheng naturally leans toward merging with the Secret Realm.

There are no other Top-Grade Spiritual Roots here. The Star Emperor's Top-Grade Spiritual Roots were scattered, and with the shattering of the Secret Realm, most Top-tier Spiritual Plants have gone missing.

However, there is still one Top-Grade Spiritual Root in this Secret Realm, though it is not in this direction.

Very quickly, Li Zhangsheng arrived at the location of this Top-Grade Spiritual Root.

This place was originally a Medicine Garden, but because it had not been tended to for too long, and coupled with the fact that the energy concentration in the Secret Realm is far inferior to what it once was, the Spirit Herbs in the Medicine Garden have become quite sparse, and most are not of high grade.

In the distant central area stands a green tree seven or eight hundred meters tall, with a green, unripe fruit growing on it.

This is the Low-Grade Top-Tier Spirit Root, the Xun Wind Zhixi Tree. Every thirty years, it produces a fruit that can significantly increase the probability of a Demon Pet breaking through to the Demon King level.

More importantly, the Xun Wind Zhixi Tree is also one of the Ten Branches of the World Tree.

As for why only one unripe, green fruit remains on the Xun Wind Zhixi Tree, it is nothing more than the fact that there are a large number of wild Spirit Beasts in the Secret Realm.

Even though the Star Emperor set up Restrictions here back then, how could they withstand the passage of time?

As the Restrictions disappeared, this Medicine Garden became the private territory of wild Spirit Beasts, which is also the reason why the Spirit Herbs in the Medicine Garden are so sparse.

Squeak~ Squeak~

Suddenly, sharp cries rang out one after another, and immediately after, one monkey-type Spirit Beast after another rushed over, eyeing Li Zhangsheng vigilantly.

The most peculiar thing about these monkey-type Spirit Beasts is their ears; they are divided into three-eared, four-eared, and five-eared. If nothing goes wrong, they are the descendants of that Demon Emperor Level Six-Eared Macaque.

A Six-Eared Macaque can only give birth to a Six-Eared Macaque if it mates with another Six-Eared Macaque; otherwise, the Bloodline will become sparse and chaotic. These are clearly the descendants of the Six-Eared Macaque's crossbreeding back then.

According to the concentration of the Bloodline, the number of ears changes; the more ears, the richer the Bloodline.

Since these monkeys possess the Bloodline of the Six-Eared Macaque, they clearly inherited the Six-Eared Macaque's ability to listen well. Upon discovering an outsider invading their territory, they all rushed over.

As for why they did not attack proactively, it is not because they are kind by nature, but because they felt a threat from Li Zhangsheng so intense it was nearly suffocating, making them afraid to act rashly.

Li Zhangsheng took a look and discovered that the Stronger is a Demon Saint Level five-eared macaque, who is also the leader of this group of macaques, but looking at its aged appearance, it is clear it does not have much lifespan left.

"Do you speak the Common Tongue?"

"We do!"

The voice of the Demon Saint Level five-eared macaque rang out. Judging from the accent, it sounded very strange; it was clearly the Common Tongue learned through Bloodline inheritance.

While answering, the macaque remained as if facing a great enemy, yet it dared not let its companions leave, fearing that Li Zhangsheng would fly into a rage and attack the monkeys.

"Very good, I won't beat around the bush. Now you have two choices: will you submit to me, or be destroyed?"

Li Zhangsheng is quite concerned about the Six-Eared Macaque Bloodline. As long as he subdues this group of monkeys, he believes that before long, he will be able to extract enough Spirit Essence to evolve a Six-Eared Macaque.

The Demon Saint Level five-eared macaque felt a tightness in its heart and asked, "Are there any other choices?"

"No!"

Li Zhangsheng shook his head. As he spoke, he no longer concealed his aura. The group of monkeys felt a massive pressure descend; the weak ones were pressed directly to the ground, and even the strong ones were trembling.

At the same time, the Sun Moon Star Chart and the Purple Extreme Golden Palace Starry Sky Crown appeared above Li Zhangsheng's head. Both of these are treasures of the Star Emperor, and this group of monkeys naturally has information about this in their Bloodline inheritance, so they directly regarded Li Zhangsheng as the Star Emperor's successor, feeling exceptionally awestruck.

Consequently, this group of monkeys chose to submit without any surprises.
