Within the fissure, the faint red glow gradually turned a deep shade of red as they ventured deeper into the fissure. It was like fresh blood. There was no path in the fissure. There was only dirt on both sides of the fissure and the seemingly endless red glow below.
Be it the Eye Ghouls or the mutated beasts, they leaped over the wall and entered the red glow, disappearing without a trace. Wang Baole, Chen Hui, and his puppet, however, didn't do the same. They leaned against the wall and carefully climbed down.
There was a considerable distance between them. Both Chen Hui and Wang Baole were wary of their surroundings and trying their best to hide from each other. They did not want to be discovered by the other.
As for the spiritual source formed from the fragments on their bodies, if there were too many of them, as in the secret location of the Five Generation Sky Clan, Wang Baole's devouring seed would not be able to conceal them to a certain extent. They would still be discovered. However, there were only a few of them and he could hide for a short period of time.
As for Chen Hui, she seemed to have a similar trick up her sleeve. That was why Wang Baole could not sense the spiritual source on her.
As they continued to climb down, ferocious beasts leaped down from the fissure above. They whizzed past them and leaped into the red glow below.
These ferocious beasts seemed to have lost their minds. Upon closer inspection, Wang Baole realized that their eyes were blank and blank. It was as if they were being controlled and led into the red glow.
This made Wang Baole even more wary. If not for the fact that the devouring seed had sensed that the spiritual energy waves emanating from the red glow were too shocking and that Wang Baole could not give up, he would have turned around and left.
The strangeness of the red glow gave Wang Baole the feeling that there was a great secret hidden within it. It also contained great terror.
"I have a feeling that I am digging my own grave again …" Wang Baole sighed inwardly. He saw that his puppet was nearing the edge of the red glow. He perked up and immediately tried to control and observe it. However, at that moment, Wang Baole's expression suddenly changed.
For some unknown reason, as soon as his puppet neared the red light, its body suddenly trembled. Then it turned its head to look in Chen Hui's direction. In fact, after looking around, it seemed to be looking in Meng Hao's direction.
At that moment, a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. However, that smile was strange, and there was a certain coldness to it. Then, he leaped and let go of his grip on the wall. His body jumped straight into the incredibly dense red light, which was like an ocean. He could not see what was inside!
This scene made Chen Hui's expression change. She knew that she had been discovered. As for whether that figure was a real person or not, she didn't even consider it. If she still had such thoughts in her heart before, then when the figure turned around, the strange expression on his face and the light in his eyes made it impossible for her to believe that he wasn't a real person. Even Wang Baole was shocked at this moment. His heart was in turmoil.
"What's going on!?!?" Wang Baole's scalp went numb, and an indescribable feeling filled him. His heart was pounding with fear. He hadn't controlled the puppet to turn its head around, nor had he controlled it to make such an expression. In truth, he was very experienced when it came to making puppets, and was far more skilled than anyone else. However, no matter how realistic his puppets were, there was no way they could have been as realistic as the puppet had been when it turned its head.
In that moment, he felt as if … the puppet had come to life!!
It truly had come to life …. That was especially true considering that the puppet had been made in his likeness. The sensation of seeing another version of himself caused Wang Baole's mind to reel. It was a very strange feeling.
Wang Baole's fear of the sea of red light below him grew even stronger. Just as he was hesitating whether to leave or not, he immediately noticed that Chen Hui was forming a seal with both hands. He didn't know what spell she was using, but suddenly, a gust of wind appeared from where she was.
As if she felt that this wasn't enough, Chen Hui raised her right hand and took out a wooden statue. This statue was purple in color. Wang Baole wasn't too close, so he could only see that the statue seemed to be of a person hugging his chest. He couldn't see anything else clearly, but the feeling that this statue gave him was soul-stirring. It was as if it contained a power that was second only to his own Dharmic Armament.
Soon, after Chen Hui took out the statue, she threw it toward the red light. Instantly, the statue fell into the red light. At the same time, the gust of wind in the surroundings seemed to be attracted and chased after the statue. It seemed to be strengthened by the power of the statue and grew stronger and stronger. Finally, it formed a hurricane that surrounded the statue. After it sank into the red light, it suddenly exploded!!
Following the explosion, a wave of Qi rolled out in all directions. Wang Baole clung to the wall tightly. His body was almost swept away by the Qi wave. At that moment, he was shocked to see that the sea of red light in the depths of the fissure had dimmed under the explosion of the statue and the hurricane. It was as if it was being driven away. Soon, it became slightly transparent and then clear!!
The moment it became clear, Wang Baole saw the secret in the depths of the fissure!
In the depths of the fissure, there was a tree branch!!
The tree branch was too big. It was buried deep underground. Just the part that was exposed was a few thousand feet in size. It was yellow with a hint of black, like a snake that was entwined with each other. Many parts of it were dried up, as if it had died. It emitted waves of the aura of time, as if it had existed for too long.
The tree branch was obviously only a very small part of its body. More of its body was buried deep underground and extended to an unknown extent. In fact, if not for the fissure here, Wang Baole would not have known that there was such a Big Tree under the moon!!
His first thought was that it was the legendary … Osmanthus Tree on the moon!!
However, this was, after all, a mythical object. Even Wang Baole himself couldn't believe it. That was especially so for the size of the tree. He couldn't even begin to imagine it. Just the exposed section of the tree was enough to shock him deeply.
Whether it was the Coulomb Basin or Huang Shan, the size of the trees that were exposed could not be compared to this tree at all. It was like the difference between a human and an ant.
Wang Baole also saw that on the branches of the Big Tree, there was a small scratch that might be insignificant to the Big Tree, but in Wang Baole's eyes, it was a huge wound that was hundreds of feet long!!
This wound did not look like it was caused by an external force, but more like an internal withered crack. There was no tree sap, but … all the beasts that entered here, whether it was the Eye Ghoul, the bats, or Wang Baole's puppets, all entered the fissure one by one. It was as if they were being devoured by the Big Tree on their own accord, becoming a part of its body!!
At the same time, on the trunk of the Big Tree above the gaping wound, there was a small cauldron stuck in the trunk. The moment Wang Baole saw the small cauldron, there was a loud boom in his mind and great waves of emotions churning in his heart. This small cauldron was the source of this astonishing spiritual energy. The moment he saw it, Wang Baole felt an instinctive desire rise in him!!
This was an object that could be used to establish one's foundation!!
According to the information from the Dao Academy, this was a complete object that could be used to establish one's foundation only those with great destiny could obtain!!
Although Wang Baole had already had his suspicions, or else he wouldn't have taken such a risk to come here, as soon as he saw it, and as soon as he confirmed it, his heart surged violently, and his eyes shone with eagerness!
Similarly shaken was Chen Hui. Her breathing was ragged, but she quickly calmed down. Her hands flashed in an incantation gesture, and she pointed at the statue that was emitting the tempest. Immediately, the tempest around the statue began to change direction, as if to try to pull the small cauldron away.
Wang Baole's eyes were fixed on the statue as he silently waited for the right opportunity.
With Chen Hui's efforts, the tiny tripod cauldron began to tremble and loosen. Not long after, as Wang Baole and Chen Hui watched closely and anxiously, the tiny tripod cauldron shuddered and was swept up!
Chen Hui was ecstatic. She immediately controlled the statue to bring the small cauldron back to her. Wang Baole's eyes lit up, and he was just about to make a move when … all of a sudden, a red glow erupted from within the crack in the Big Tree. It was like a sea of red that spread out in all directions, as if to drown everything in its path.
When the red glow made contact with the statue, it clearly became unstable, as if it were about to be swallowed up. Seeing that all her efforts had been for naught, Chen Hui anxiously flashed an incantation gesture and pointed at the statue!
