Chapter 268 3 Great Sacred Trees
"Ah?" Wang Ergou looked at the dry branch that was about one and a half feet long in Ye Fei's hand with a look of shock, his eyes almost falling to the ground.
You know, he is an old monster who has lived for thousands of years. However, even for an old monster like him who has lived for thousands of years, this is the first time he has seen a martial spirit wood that is one and a half feet long. Even until now, he has never heard of anyone having such a long martial spirit wood.
After all, even if some top hidden families got this thing, they would not give the whole thing to one person. They would definitely cut it into many sections and give them to some talented little ones in the family to help them break through to the Soul Origin Realm as soon as possible.
Even when they reach the Soul Origin Realm, they will most likely take it away and give it to other younger generations of the family to help them break through to the Soul Origin Realm. This cycle will continue, and the overall strength of the family will usher in a surge.
After reaching the Soul Origin Realm, this thing is not so important. Because after reaching the Soul Origin Realm, the cultivation level will increase dramatically, and the soul power will increase dramatically. At that time, I can rely on cultivation to slowly absorb the soul power floating between heaven and earth.
To put it bluntly, the main reason is that the Danyuan realm lacks understanding of soul power, and it is difficult to rely on one's own practice to absorb the soul power between heaven and earth. The best way is to use the martial soul wood to assist in practice, otherwise, a lot of time will be wasted on cultivating the soul.
Of course, if there is a whole strand of this that is about a foot long and is not cut off, even if a Soul Yuan Realm or True Yuan Realm expert carries it on his body, it will increase his soul power dramatically and increase the speed of absorbing soul power many times.
It is conceivable how Wang Ergou felt when he saw such a long martial soul wood in front of him.
"This, this must be fake, right?" Wang Ergou snatched the Wuhun Wood from Ye Fei's hand with a look of shock, looked at it left and right, and couldn't let it go.
In fact, for him, when Ye Fei took out this martial soul wood, it was a glimpse of truth.
He only had to take one look to know it was real.
"Crash..."
Just then, a breeze blew past Wang Ergou and Ye Fei.
A refreshing woody scent suddenly wafted out.
"Shh!"
Wang Ergou hurriedly threw the Wuhun Wood into his storage ring, then grabbed Ye Fei and disappeared on the spot.
shhhhhh...
Just a moment after they left, at least ten extremely powerful auras suddenly appeared in the forest.
However, after watching for a while from a distance, they did not find anything suspicious, and turned around and disappeared immediately with some disappointment.
At the same time, Wang Ergou and Ye Fei had already arrived at a deserted seashore in Linghai, hundreds of miles away.
"Master, what's going on? Why did you bring me here?" Ye Fei held out his hand to Wang Ergou with disdain:
"This martial soul wood is mine, you are not trying to steal it from me!
I had given it to my senior sister two years ago, and she returned it to me when we came out of the demon realm.
She said that I would need this thing in the future and asked me to keep it well. She was almost able to break through to the Soul Origin Realm, so she returned it to me.
Now that I have finally gotten it back, you want to take it away again. Isn't that a bit too much?"
"Who wants yours!" Wang Ergou said coldly, "I just kept it for you temporarily. Do you know that once this Wuhun wood meets the wind, its fragrance will spread thousands of miles away.
Of course, saying ten thousand miles is a bit of an exaggeration, but a hundred miles or a thousand miles is definitely possible. Within this range, all the strong people above the Soul Origin Realm can smell the fragrance of the Martial Soul Wood.
Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise, I don’t know how many people would be alerted to snatch your martial spirit wood.”
Wang Ergou said this and suddenly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, kid, where did you get such a valuable thing?"
"The Demon Realm!" Ye Fei said with some pride: "Have you forgotten the sister Bai I told you about before? She introduced an old man to me, and it was that old man who gave it to me."
Wang Ergou looked Ye Fei up and down and found that he didn't seem to be lying. His brows frowned instantly: "Such a valuable thing is just given to you for free?"
"Yes!" Ye Fei said.
"What does he look like? What's his name? Where does he live? Do you know?" Wang Ergou wanted to meet him.
"I don't know his name, but he should have lived there for a long time!" Ye Fei said, "He built a big house inside. He should be a hermit who has been practicing in there for a long time."
"What?" Wang Ergou opened his mouth wide. "He built a big house in there? How big is it?"
Wang Ergou pointed to a wooden house a few hundred meters away from the Linghai Sea and asked: "Is it as big as that wooden house?"
Wang Ergou certainly knew that some powerful people had large storage rings or Qiankun bracelets in their hands. They were accustomed to carrying a house with them wherever they went. This not only allowed them to show off, but also made it convenient for them to live comfortably wherever they went, creating a much better environment for cultivation.
"Tsk tsk..." Ye Fei curled his lips at Wang Ergou with disdain: "Master, look at how ignorant you are. The big house I'm talking about is very big, like a palace, do you understand? You pointed at that small wooden house and asked me if it was that big. Are you insulting me or your own IQ?"
"As big as a palace?" Wang Ergou's eyes widened. "You, you, you... grandson, you are not talking about the Demon King's Temple in the Demon Realm, are you? You idiot, you broke into the Demon King's Temple?"
"Ah? The Temple of the Demon King?" Ye Fei's heart suddenly trembled.
At this moment, the huge rat spirit and the beautiful woman named Feng'er suddenly appeared in his mind.
The Rat Demon and Feng Er gradually merged together and became a half-human, half-rat monster...
Is that old man the demon king?
Not only Feng'er is a demon, but the old man is too?
At this moment, Wang Ergou nodded: "Yes, if there is any palace where people live in the Demon Realm, it can only be the Demon King Temple! I went there once more than three thousand years ago..."
"What the hell?" Ye Fei looked at Wang Ergou in shock. "Master, you, what did you say? More than three thousand years ago? You, you have lived for more than three thousand years? More than three thousand years?"
Wang Ergou ignored Ye Fei's question and said expressionlessly: "Anyway, the demon curse of Wuyuan Star Domain only opens once every three thousand years. I went there last time, so you can go there yourself!"
"Oh my god!" Ye Fei's eyes widened: "Master, you have lived for so long, why haven't you married a wife and had a few children? Leave a few offspring for yourself..."
Snapped!
Wang Ergou raised his hand and slapped Ye Fei on the forehead: "Can you please stop interrupting me!"
"Okay, okay!" Ye Fei nodded. Anyway, his main characteristic was that he was not a serious person, mainly because he was used to making trouble when hanging out with his senior sister and Ding Dashan.
"In short, if nothing unexpected happens, you must have gone to the Demon King Temple!" Wang Ergou said coldly, "But I'm curious why you were able to come back alive after going there! Back then, I and a few others accidentally broke into that place, and I was the only one who escaped alive."
"Fuck..." Ye Fei was stunned: "Are they so vicious?"
"We can't blame others. We trespassed into their restricted area without permission. We can only blame ourselves for not following the rules, not others." Wang Ergou said:
"After all, the demon domain itself is their territory. We human cultivators took advantage of the time when the curse was lifted to rush in and burn, kill and loot. We killed so many demon beasts in the demon domain and took so many demon pills, but they didn't care about us."
"Strange, the demon king doesn't care if we kill their people?" Ye Fei was at a loss.
"Of course it wants to, but it doesn't dare! This is actually a way for the demon king to sacrifice to the human race!" Wang Ergou said:
“It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, the Wuyuan Star Region was almost occupied by the demon race, and the human cultivators were driven to an archipelago deep in the Spiritual Sea. Finally, a powerful human race came from another star region, and he led the human race to fight back, and finally forced the demon race into the forest where the Demon Region of the Life and Death Abyss is now located.
In the end, the human race and the demon race had an ancient decisive battle in the forest of the Life and Death Abyss, now the Demon Realm. The human race won under the leadership of the powerful man.
Later, the powerful human left many restrictions there, which would be opened once every three thousand years.
This was something the old man had thought of very thoughtfully. He specially provided us, the lower-level cultivators of the human race, with an opportunity to go in and gain experience, allowing them to pick up some treasures, kill some low-level monsters, and seize monster cores to practice or refine pills.
However, the so-called low-level cultivators refer to those below the Soul Yuan Realm. Those above the Soul Yuan Realm can go in to protect the younger generation, but are not allowed to participate in the slaughter of high-level monsters.
If young people below the Soul Yuan Realm have the ability to kill high-level monsters, the Monster King will not intervene.
If anyone above the Soul Yuan Realm participates in the massacre, the Demon King will send high-level demon beasts to retaliate.
This can be regarded as an unwritten agreement between the human race and the demon race in the Wuyuan Star Region!
For tens of thousands of years, the demon race has been abiding by this agreement, and so have we humans. We are also abiding by this agreement."
"Fuck, there is such an agreement!" Ye Fei looked surprised: "No wonder we have been in the Monster Domain for so long and haven't seen many strong people above the Soul Origin Realm. I was wondering, there are so many monsters in the Monster Domain, why haven't there been strong people in the Soul Origin Realm to get monster pills."
"Humph, if there weren't such an agreement, all the masters of the Wuyuan Star Region would have come out in full force!" Wang Ergou said disdainfully, "Even I would definitely not want to go anywhere. I must kill monsters happily for a few years and get tens of thousands of monster pills for future alchemy."
At this point, Wang Ergou suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, was the Martial Soul Wood really given to you by the Demon King? Did that Sister Bai you know really introduce you to the Demon King?"
"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded with a smile: "Hehe, Master, how about it, your apprentice is awesome, right? The demon kings are all my buddies!"
Snapped!
Wang Ergou suddenly raised his hand and slapped Ye Fei on the forehead: "Do you know the demon king? You went in and got only one martial spirit wood?"
Snapped!
"Do you know how many top treasures there are in the Demon Realm?"
Snapped!
"You are not stupid, you have a problem with your brain!"
……
Wang Ergou shouted loudly while beating Ye Fei.
Of course, he didn't have much strength in his hands, but Ye Fei still kept covering his head to avoid it.
After slapping him three times in a row, Wang Ergou finally stopped: "You useless thing, with such a good opportunity, don't you know how to ask for more good things? Sooner or later, I will be pissed off to death by you!"
Ye Fei looked at him innocently: "You act as if they will give it to me if I ask for it."
“Let’s go!” Wang Ergou suddenly stood up and counted on his fingers: “The Demon Realm will be closed in a few months. Let’s go in again!”
"What the hell?" Ye Fei looked at Wang Ergou in shock. "Master, this isn't necessary, is it? Even if we go in now and ask them for it, I won't be able to find the way!"
"I can find it! I've been there before!" Wang Ergou said, "I'll lead the way for you!"
"Ah?" Ye Fei looked at Wang Ergou, who was determined to go, and felt annoyed: "Master, I think we should not be too greedy. Even if we go in and find him now, he may not be willing to give me any good things. After all, he has already given me some good things."
"Some?" Ye Fei asked.
"No, it's one. I made a slip of the tongue just now!" Ye Fei said.
"You kid, you're still hiding something from your master, aren't you?" Wang Ergou suddenly smiled sinisterly: "Quick, take it all out!"
"I'll give it to you, so let's not go to the demon realm, okay?" Ye Fei said.
"Why do you seem a little afraid to go? Aren't you very familiar with the Demon King? Isn't the Demon King your buddy? What are you afraid of?" Wang Ergou suddenly looked at Ye Fei suspiciously.
"Well, that old man wants me to marry his granddaughter." Ye Fei said weakly: "His granddaughter is a very big rat spirit."
“Hahaha…” Wang Ergou suddenly laughed out loud: “The demon king wants you to marry his granddaughter? His granddaughter is a rat spirit?”
"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded at Wang Ergou.
"I'm asking you if you're stupid!" Wang Ergou said with disdain, "Do you think a lowly animal like a mouse can become the Demon King's granddaughter? If you use your knees to think about it, you'll know it's impossible!"
"Fuck, that seems to make sense!" Ye Fei was stunned: "What kind of spirit could Feng'er be?"
"Don't think about it!" Wang Ergou curled his lips: "Quick, take out all the good stuff you have hidden on you."
"It's not on me!" Ye Fei said with a bitter face, "It's all with Senior Sister! I gave it all to Senior Sister!
At that time, the old man gave me three dry branches and some tender-looking fruits, all of which I had been saving. However, my senior sister and I didn’t know what the fruits were, so we didn’t dare to eat any of them.
Later, Senior Sister would act like a spoiled brat and cry to us at every turn, and then, she coaxed and tricked all of my treasures away with her."
"What? Three dry branches?" Wang Ergou was stunned. "Three pieces of martial spirit wood that are more than one foot long?"
"No!" Ye Fei shook his head: "The other two are completely different from the Wuhun Wood, I can be sure of this. Because, after I learned about the preciousness of the Wuhun Wood, I took the time to ask my senior sister to help me identify a few other things.
As a result, none of the other senior sisters recognized him.
However, when she found out that I obtained it together with the Wuhun Wood, she said that it must also be a treasure, so she asked me to hide it well.
It's just that I didn't hide it for long before she took it all away!"
"You are really good to your senior sister!" Wang Ergou said seriously, "However, you said that you don't even know your senior sister, so I can guess about 70% of it.
Your senior sister has followed me for so many years, and the things she has not seen must be things that do not exist in the Wuyuan Star Region.
At the same time, it must be very rare.
According to your description just now, could it be possible that the other two dead branches... are the other two sacred trees as famous as the Martial Soul Tree?"
When Wang Ergou said the last sentence, his eyes widened.
"The other two sacred trees?" Ye Fei was shocked.
"Yes!" Wang Ergou nodded: "There are three sacred trees in this world, namely Wuhun Wood, Dragon Soul Wood, and Tianxin Wood. However, Wuhun Wood can still be found in this world, but the other two sacred trees have long been extinct. According to ancient legends, if anyone in the mortal world can gather the three sacred trees and let the three trees combine, they will be invincible in the world."
"Fuck! So cool!" Ye Fei said excitedly: "If the other two are really the Dragon Soul Wood and Heavenly Heart Wood you mentioned, then it would be awesome!
But, Master, I am a little curious. Since the Wuhun Wood is used to train our human souls, and the Dragon Soul Wood sounds like it helps the dragon race train their dragon souls, what use can it be to us?"
"Snapped!"
Wang Ergou raised his hand and slapped him: "Do dragons need that stuff? Dragon Soul Wood is used to refine the body. That stuff is most suitable for Ding Dashan!"
"Three sacred trees, one for refining the soul, one for refining the body..." Ye Fei counted on his fingers and began to ponder: "So, the Tianxin wood must be used to refine the Qi?"
"Snapped!"
Wang Ergou slapped Ye Fei on the forehead again.
"Ah? Wrong guess again?" Ye Fei said innocently, "Fuck, what is that Tianxin wood used for?"
Wang Ergou: "You guessed it right this time!"
