Chapter 542 - 541: Funeral Earth, Original Gift

Shi Zixuan’s tactic was "professional," attacking from the back. The Deceiving the Heavens had no chance to dodge.

A dull groan.

From the Taoist Long Whip in Shi Zixuan’s hand, the Deceiving the Heavens was pierced through his chest.I. Then, a sparkle appeared at the bottom of her eyes, and she twisted the whip.

In an instant.

This whip blasted numerous sharp thorns, instantly turning Deceiving the Heavens into a hedgehog from the inside out.

However, even under this severe blow, the Deceiving the Heavens didn’t even frown.

The initial groan seemed to be a trick.

Such an anomaly made Shi Zixuan frown.

Before she could react, the Deceiving the Heavens, who had just been pierced and turned into a hedgehog, gradually turned into a black clay-like substance and slowly dissolved.

A special escape method!?

It seems not.

Shi Zixuan narrowed her eyes and withdrew the extended whip.

The whip was pulled out.

The Deceiving the Heavens, who was slowly dissolving, instantly turned into black mud and collapsed on the ground.

Just as she was about to look closely, the Blue Phoenix suddenly spoke.

"Be careful."

?

Shi Zixuan was puzzled, then noticed that when she retracted the Taoist Long Whip, she brought back quite a bit of black mud.

Her numerous experiences in combat have taught her that this black mud couldn’t be anything good.

Without any hesitation, Shi Zixuan shook her hand and threw the Taoist Long Whip out again with a "swish."

"Boom!"

A loud bang.

The whip cracked the ground.

Then.

The black mud stained on the whip was scattered.

The fact proved.

Shi Zixuan’s intuition was right.

The seemingly ordinary black mud emitted an astonishing stench after being thrown, and it instantly corroded a large piece of land when it fell to the ground.

Poison!?

Seeing the black mud corrode the ground, Shi Zixuan made a judgment at that moment and took half a step back.

If it was in the past.

When encountered with poison.

She wouldn’t have any fear.

After all, before this, she was a living dead.

The poison had no effect on her.

Because she was essentially a dead person, there was no possibility of being poisoned.

But now, having turned back into a living person, she had to care about it.

Especially, the poison was from the Deceiving the heavens. It will not be simple.

The Blue Phoenix was also severe. She reached out and sprinkled a Phoenix Heavenly Fire without saying a word.

The Phoenix Heavenly Fire, which could burn everything and never extinguish.

It also has the characteristics of Pure Yang, which is the natural nemesis of poison and other filthy things.

However, before the Heavenly Fire could fall, a call rang out.

"Leave it to me!"

"And me!"

?

The Blue Phoenix paused slightly and unconsciously looked up.

In the view.

Both Ling Ling and Xiaocai were excited. They transformed into streaks of light and flew towards the scattered black mud.

Seeing this, the Blue Phoenix quickly waved her hands to extinguish the Phoenix Heavenly Fire.

Although she couldn’t hurt the two little ones with her ability, it is always wrong to burn them for no reason.

Looking at Ling Ling and Xiaocai, who have reached the black mud scattering location and are collecting black mud with their hands and feet, the Blue Phoenix couldn’t help but be curious about what use this evident poison might serve.

On the other side.

Li Jing looked at the position where the Deceiving the Heavens had turned into black mud.

Where the most black mud should have been scattered, only an area that appeared to have been corroded by strong acid remained, with no trace of black mud.

When Ling Ling and Xiaocai acted.

The large patches of black mud merged with the earth and disappeared.

Looking up again.

The reflection of the Broken World, which was about to overlap with the Ancient Fairyland in the high sky, had disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this situation, Li Jing’s eyebrows were tightly locked.

The Deceiver.

Has gone.

Looking back at Ling Ling and Xiaocai, who are happily collecting black mud, Li Jing’s face couldn’t be more strange.

The black mud is unusual. There’s no doubt about it.

After all, it was made by the Deceiving the Heavens.

Despite claims that the Deceiving the Heavens are above Return to Origin, but most likely they are just at the peak of the late stage of Return to Origin with half a foot in a higher realm, but the realm of the person is in front of everyone.

The Venerables and Emperorshere who can be powerful in the Immortal Realm aren’t even taken seriously by the deceivers.

It is estimated that.

This black mud is Deceiving the Heavens’s greatest skill.

If he really wanted to try to deal with it, he would certainly have no issue.

No matter how fierce the poison is.

As long as the poison won’t kill Ling Ling, it cannot possibly kill him.

Is there a poison in this world that can kill The Spirit of Origin?

But whether Shi Zixuan and the Blue Phoenix can handle it or not, that’s less certain.

Looking back,

Li Jing might understand why Deceiving the Heavens showed up and negotiated with them to avoid conflict.

His ability might be very strong.

But it’s useless against The Spirit of Origin, and it even arouses their interest.

Look at those two little ones.

They are digging into the ground unhinged, not caring about the wisps of black smoke rising from their paws in direct contact with the black mud. They are overjoyed, like two children playing with mud.

Deceiving the Heavens would not stand a chance in a direct conflict.

Focusing his eyes on the black mud acquired by the two little ones, Li Jing’s eyes shifted to gold.

In response, the Eye of True Vision gave feedback.

Earth of Burial.

Divine Object.

An ultimate poison which could probably be formed by the collapse of the Will of Heaven, capable of killing and burying everything in the world.

Upon receiving this information, Li Jing was taken aback.

Divine Object.

What sort of level is that?

Is it higher than Heavenly Treasures?

Li Jing was not quite certain.

But just by hearing the words Divine Object, you know it’s impressive.

The Earth of Burial in front of him is an ultimate poison. Even a child would know that it’s a really significant thing.

Li Jing was quite astonished.

On the other side, Shi Zixuan and the Blue Phoenix noticed that Deceiving the Heavens had quietly departed, and saw Li Jing’s eyes turned into gold as he observed the black mud gathered by Ling Ling and Xiaocai. They looked over.

Seeing this, Li Jing carefully explained the origin and function of the Burial earth.

Upon learning the details, Shi Zixuan and the Blue Phoenix both gasped.

Divine object.

It indeed is a level above Heavenly Treasures.

Both of them only heard about it but had never seen one.

And they did not expect to encounter one today.

And one with such an incredible source at that!

The Earth of Burial signifies the extinction of a part of the Will of Heaven.

This.

Is such a terrifying thing to hear about it?

So, the question arises.

Deceiving the Heavens has clearly integrated the Earth of Burial for his own use, relying on it.

Where did he get it from?

Did it come from destroying his independent world, or... ?

Li Jing also had the same question.

The origin of Deceiving the Heavens’s Earth of Burial could be anywhere.

It doesn’t necessarily come from his own world.

It could be that he had once harmed the Heavenly Path, or perhaps he was lucky and picked up the "corpse" of a collapsing Heavenly Path.

The broken Ancient Fairyland where everyone is currently located is in a state without Dao.

The will of the heavens here seems to have disappeared with the collapse of the Ancient Fairyland.

The reason why the Ancient Fairyland is still intact and barely functioning after breaking apart is not because it has the support of a Heavenly Path, but because this piece of the world is sturdy enough.

Shaking his head, Li Jing stopped overthinking. He put back the Unnamed Taoist Tool into his hand and said,

"With Ling Ling and Xiaocai here, this Deceiving the Heavens is not to be feared. But now that he has retreated and hidden himself again, we need to be more cautious in our next move."

Blue Phoenix and Shi Zixuan nodded in agreement upon hearing these words.

Deceiving the Heavens certainly won’t give up easily.

If they don’t deal with him,

they won’t be able to leave here easily.

If they left, Deceiving the Heavens’s wish getting fulfilled is one thing.

The critical point is that they already have a grudge against each other.

Li Jing had mysteriously blacklisted an Immortal Medicine.

This is no small feud.

No one would allow it.

Even Deceiving the Heavens don’t take Immortal Medicine for granted.

He will definitely not give up.

If he acquires the Broken Ancient Fairyland, he will eventually come to the Immortal Realm to find them.

...

Not long after, Ling Ling and Xiaocai finished collecting the scattered Earth of Burial on the ground.

There wasn’t a lot of Earth of Burial left originally, basically just a small quantity like scraps. It was just that Ling Ling and Xiaocai were gathering it by hand, which was quite laborious.

After they finished gathering the Earth of Burial, the two came back to Li Jing’s side.

Seeing this, Li Jing wanted to ask the two why they had such high interest in the extremely poisonous divine object, the Earth of Burial.

The Earth of Burial is a Divine Object, sure, and its origin is remarkably extraordinary.

But the feedback given to him by the Eye of True Vision.

This thing, besides being highly toxic, didn’t have any other uses.

The Spirit of Origin, with its pure nature, wouldn’t harm any living creature. Surely, the two of them couldn’t have collected the Burial Ground Soil for self-defense?

Before he could ask a question, Ling Ling excitedly made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Li Jing, if you get the chance, you must kill that Deceiving the Heavens person. That guy has turned himself into Burial Ground Soil, I fear he must have refined quite a large chunk."

As soon as the words were spoken, Xiaocai looked at Ling Ling and imitated her throat-cutting gesture.

"The Burial Ground Soil is essential for the Life Tree to grow fully and mature. Normally, it is almost impossible to get a hold of it, but that guy readily has it. If we can snatch all of it, not to mention the two Life Trees you’ve planted, a few more can be nourished until maturity."

After hearing what the two little creatures said, Li Jing was slightly moved.

He knew long ago that the Life Tree couldn’t rely on divine blood for maturation into Immortal Medicine, but he did not know how to make it grow fully.

He tried asking Ling Ling.

The latter did not want to say.

But now he has an answer.

At this point, Li Jing suddenly felt motivated.

He had a grudge to settle.

He must find a way to kill this Deceiving the Heavens person.

However, the other party was not an Alien Species, and it was not possible to reap the Essence Source. To be honest, Li Jing did not want to waste effort on this.

Crucially, this Deceiving the Heavens person was far from comparable to those he had seen in the past.

Besides being powerful, he was very slippery.

When the situation turned bad, he fled.

It wouldn’t be easy to kill him.

With the incentive of the Burial Ground Soil, Li Jing’s goal became much clearer.

What’s the saying again?

Interest demarcates the boundary of action.

Although he had already obtained an Immortal Medicine, he did not know how to use it and where to use it. But if he could have a few more, that would be even better.

Furthermore, the stronger the growth of the Life Tree, the better the impact it would have on his Little Universe.

This win-win result must be striven for.

Just as he was considering how to find the Deceiving the Heavens person and kill him, Ling Ling spoke.

"Let Xiaocai and I first go into the Little Universe. The Burial Ground Soil we just got our hands on, although far from enough to foster a Life Tree, is sufficient to allow you to transplant that one in the Little Universe for proper growth."

Li Jing raised an eyebrow at what he heard.

Because the transplanted Life Tree sprouted in the living space of the Snake People, even after it rooted in the Little Universe, its growth was greatly limited, and its effect was much less than the one he had planted himself.

Therefore, up till now, Li Jing didn’t think about asking his women who had achieved godhood to bleed and water the tree.

After all, even if that tree grew big, it wouldn’t be of great use.

He still had to continue looking for "purer" divine blood for the tree he had planted himself. He wasn’t in a hurry to reap and had no need to make Liu Sisi and the others bleed.

Coming back to the point.

Even though Liu Sisi and the others had achieved Supreme Godhood, their realm did not match their godhood, and the "purity" of their divinity was not as high as imagined, far from being comparable to true Supreme Gods.

Now, there was a possibility for the transplanted Life Tree to truly take root, and he should not hesitate about this.

Without thinking too much, Li Jing said.

"Ling Ling, it’s best if you and Xiaocai leave one outside."

With that, he relayed the details he had noticed how the presence of the two could pose a greater obstacle to the plans of the Deceiving the Heavens person to shatter the ancient fairyland.

The two little creatures looked at each other after hearing Li Jing’s account, and Ling Ling spoke.

"Then I’ll go in. Using the Burial Ground Soil is quite particular. It requires prompting the Life Tree to absorb it, otherwise, it might pollute the land and form poison. These two Life Tree seeds were nourished by me and have a close connection with me. It would be more appropriate for me to do it."

Li Jing nodded, sent her into the Little Universe, and appeared to be in a strange mood.

Life Tree seeds.

So, they were nurtured by the Spirit of Origin?

How were they nurtured?

Like humans getting pregnant?

If so, Ling Ling had given that many to the Ancient God’s Descendants....

While he was pondering, Xiaocai, who was left outside, blinked her eyes and looked at the Blue Phoenix and Shi Zixuan in the distance, then suddenly flew in front of the two women, waving her hand to take out two white jades.

"Little Blue, Little Zixuan, hold onto these two Life Tree seeds."

???...

Blue Phoenix.

!!!...

Shi Zixuan.

Since there was always a heavenly calamity overhead, the two of them couldn’t get close.

But that did not stop the two from hearing the conversation between Li Jing and the two little creatures.

When it came to the Life Tree and Burial Ground Soil, they couldn’t interject.

One was that they didn’t have a Life Tree, and the other was that they didn’t have the ability to collect Burial Ground Soil.

It was evident that Ling Ling and Xiaocai were collecting it by hand earlier, not collecting it from the distance.

It’s clear.

The Burial Ground Soil can only be collected by hand.

The two of them didn’t want to be so foolish to touch such a thing which could kill everything and only be bred after the Heavenly Path was broken.

They thought the matter did not concern them.

Who would have thought that Xiaocai unexpectedly came over and gave them Life Tree seeds!?

This happiness...

Came too suddenly.

After exchanging glances, Blue Phoenix and Shi Zixuan did not decline and each took a Life Tree seed.

The things were very precious.

But to the Spirit of Origin, they weren’t rare.

Xiaocai wanted to give them gifts, undoubtedly because they had previously taken good care of her.

Over here.

Li Jing was not surprised to see the two women receive seeds of the Life Tree.

Every record in the Immortal Realm about the Spirit of Origin mentions the same.

If you encounter the Spirit of Origin, just be kind and take good care of it, and there will surely be enormous benefits.

Blue Phoenix and Shi Zixuan have spared no effort since they met Xiaocai, it’s only natural for them to reap benefits.

Seeing that Xiaocai started eating again after giving gifts without any other words, Li Jing chuckled and prepared to sit down and start his tribulation in peace.

At this moment, Blue Phoenix suddenly looked at him.

"Li Jing, can I plant this Life Tree seed in your Little Universe?"

?

Li Jing was confused and looked up.

"The Life Tree has a symbiotic relationship with the Spirit of Origin, and Xiaocai will live in your Little Universe in the future. With her there, the Life Tree will grow better."

Blue Phoenix explained.

"We agreed beforehand that I will live in your Little Universe from now on. It’s better to plant it there rather than in my independent world. Moreover, the Burial Heaven Soil can’t be used immediately, so when the time comes, it would be more appropriate to have Xiaocai to help and plant it next to her."

Li Jing was speechless, but then nodded.

The logic was indeed like that.

He had no reason to refuse.

Although the things belong to them, having more Life Trees would be beneficial to his Little Universe.

"The germination of the Life Tree requires the watering of divine blood."

Li Jing spoke.

"Ya’er is currently digesting your Supreme God pattern, after she’s done, you can let her shed some blood. If everything goes as planned, the Life Tree should sprout and grow to a certain degree."

Hearing Li Jing’s words, Blue Phoenix nodded and went off to join Xiaocai.

Seeing this, Shi Zixuan turned her head and also spoke up.

"Li Jing, I’ll also plant my Life Tree in your place."

???

Li Jing.

With Xiaocai and Ling Ling there, his place is indeed more suitable for the Life Tree.

But Shi Zixuan and Blue Phoenix’s situations were different, weren’t they?

Blue Phoenix was planning to live in the Little Universe.

What was she joining the fun for?

Wasn’t she afraid that one day he would disappear and she wouldn’t be able to find him?

As if she knew what Li Jing was thinking, Shi Zixuan gave a charming smile.

"There is still some Original Fortune that you owe me. After receiving the Original Fortune, I will be bound to your Little Universe to a certain extent. Some benefits may only take effect in your Little Universe, you won’t mind me living there, right?"

"..."

Li Jing.

Another tenant, and an Emperor level at that.

Of course, he couldn’t mind.

When necessary, these could be brought out as helpers.

But...

Looking at Shi Zixuan who was waiting for his response with a strange expression, Li Jing spoke.

"I’m more than happy for you to live in my Little Universe, but you’re the Emperor Beiming..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Shi Zixuan moved under his head where the tribulation was falling, reached out and touched his cheek.

???

Li Jing.

"Warm or cold?"

Shi Zixuan tilted her head.

Li Jing frowned, not understanding her meaning.

Seeing this, Shi Zixuan clicked her tongue, pulled her hand back, and spoke from a distance.

"You react quick enough to other things, why are you so wooden when it comes to me?"

With that, she let out a sigh.

"The Northern Immortal Domain is a place for dead things, and I’m alive now. After I go back this time, do you think I could still be the Emperor Beiming?"

Li Jing was speechless.

He had neglected this point.

Shi Zixuan was now alive.

Whether she could continue being Emperor Beiming wasn’t up to her or the acceptance of other strong ones in the Northern Immortal Domain.

It’s that the Northern Immortal Domain wasn’t suitable for living beings.

Attacking living beings and devouring their life, it was the instinct engraved in the dead objects of the Northern Immortal Domain.

Everyone there goes crazy at the sight of living beings.

Only a few of them could control themselves.

Not to mention continuing to be Emperor Beiming.

The entire Northern Immortal Domain was no longer suitable for Shi Zixuan to set foot in.

Upon realizing this, Li Jing couldn’t help but feel a bit amused.

Ling Ling had helped Shi Zixuan resolve the problem of the Immortal Medicine, which was quite unexpected.

After a moment of silence, Li Jing nodded in agreement.

As I said before.

He had no reason to refuse Shi Zixuan’s wish to live here.

...
