The Big Tree didn't have a choice!
In other words, he didn't have the right to choose. It was just like how Wang Baole didn't have the right to choose when he faced the Big Tree on Mars. He could only be on his guard against the Big Tree and take advantage of the situation to find a balance between self-preservation.
It could even be said that if Wang Baole hadn't chosen to spread his name through education when he had first arrived on Mars, had chosen to gain the favor of the Martian Colony Governor, had chosen to seize the opportunity to fight for the position of the new city zone's person-in-charge, and had only learned of Zhao Yameng's influence on the Martian Colony Governor after he had arrived at the Dao Palace, Wang Baole's reputation would have soared and skyrocketed. If the giant tree hadn't been wary of him, there was a high possibility that Wang Baole would have died during his trip to Mars.
Of course, the Big Tree was also wary of Duan Muque and couldn't guess why Duan Muque arranged for Wang Baole to come to Mars. Therefore, he restrained himself in the beginning and didn't act rashly. However, by the time he made up his mind, Wang Baole had already grown rapidly and used his own meridians, making it difficult for the Big Tree to challenge him.
Therefore, although the two of them had a grudge, they didn't put their irreconcilable hatred into action. Therefore, this time, Wang Baole raised his hand high and put it down gently. His main goal was to reap the rewards from the tomb and subdue the Big Tree as a supplement.
Wang Baole didn't care whether the Big Tree was sincerely convinced or not. The high officials' autobiographies clearly stated that there was no such thing as eternal loyalty or eternal betrayal in this world. Therefore, as long as the Big Tree knew that the price of betrayal was so high that it couldn't bear it, that was enough.
Wang Baole understood that. He didn't have the chance to verify the truth of the latter, but he was doing things according to his own ideas when it came to the former. For example, he was now leaving the Vast Expanse Dao Palace with the giant tree. He used the teleportation array formation leading to the Worship Palace Pavilion and stepped into the Worship Palace Pavilion's territory!
If it were anyone else, they would not have the right to use the Teleportation Formation. Even if they applied for it repeatedly, it would still be useless. Only those who had the Hyacinthus Tree Leaf would be allowed to use the Teleportation Formation by the sect.
However, none of this existed for Wang Baole. With his status, he was the master of a quarter of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. As long as he didn't betray the Dao Palace, there was almost no one who could completely punish him.
Similarly, Wang Baole did not care if he would be attacked when he went out alone with the Big Tree. On the one hand, in the heart of the sword body, Wang Baole's identity allowed him to ignore most of the restrictions, making the area that was full of danger for the Big Tree a paradise for him. At the same time, on the other hand, Wang Baole was confident in his own battle strength.
It wasn't like he hadn't killed Yuanying before. Therefore, no matter how strong the Big Tree was, it wouldn't be stronger than Heifeng Laozu or Elder Sun Hai!
Therefore, if the Big Tree wasn't honest, Wang Baole wasn't a merciful person even though he didn't want to kill it at the start. Furthermore, he wouldn't hide it after killing it. Instead, he would announce it openly and let everyone know that the Big Tree was up to no good!
Wang Baole believed that with the Big Tree's intelligence, it would know its limits. In fact, that was indeed the case. After being teleported to the heart of the sword body with Wang Baole, the Big Tree had been very nervous. It was also very respectful to Wang Baole.
"Do you see that place?" Soon, the two of them walked out of the Worship Palace Pavilion area. With Wang Baole leading the way, they appeared at the edge of the tomb area. Standing there, Wang Baole raised his hand and pointed.
The Big Tree immediately went on alert and looked over. He couldn't help but be cautious. Although he knew that Wang Baole wouldn't harm him, if Wang Baole was so cautious, it must be extremely dangerous.
Therefore, after taking a deep breath, the Big Tree observed carefully. First, he checked the restriction. Then, his gaze fell on the tomb. He saw the grave mound and the cracks, and also the green fog.
Because of the restrictive spell, he couldn't sense it very clearly. However, the instant he saw the green mist, he instinctively felt some resonating fluctuations. This caused the giant tree's eyes to flash. Then he noticed that there was a green wooden sword on the ground of the tomb!
All of this made the Big Tree understand. He guessed why Wang Baole had chosen him. At the same time, he pondered the question of whether he could resist.
Wang Baole didn't rush him. Instead, he waited for the Big Tree's judgment. At the same time, he sighed. This was the benefit of dealing with smart people. He only needed to say a few words, and the other party would be able to deduce many things. He didn't need to explain in detail.
After a while, the Big Tree's eyes shone with determination. He clasped his hands and bowed to Wang Baole.
"Elder Wang, please open the restriction here. Your humble servant needs to search carefully to find an answer."
Wang Baole nodded. Without another word, he waved his hand, causing a glowing door to appear in the middle of the restrictive spell. The door swung open, and at the same time, the aura of the tomb began to spread out. Just barely, it was possible to hear the faint sound of breathing.
Wang Baole looked at the Big Tree vigilantly. The Big Tree's expression was very serious. Suddenly, he performed an incantation gesture with both hands, then broke off one of his fingers and tossed it forward. The finger transformed into a tiny person, which then shot through the air toward the glowing door.
Without hesitation, the imp entered the green mist of the tomb. It wandered around in a circle, grabbed the green wooden sword, and then hurried back.
The entire process didn't cause the slightest reaction, nor did it cause any danger. After the tiny person returned and transformed back into the finger of the Big Tree, the Big Tree respectfully handed the green wooden sword over to Wang Baole.
Lowering his voice, he said, "The green fog is of limited use to your humble servant. If your humble servant's true body were to enter, I should be able to hold out for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. What would you like me to do, Elder Wang?"
Wang Baole's eyes narrowed. He didn't take the wooden sword, but instead asked a question of his own.
"Did you sense it?"
The Big Tree hesitated for a moment, but didn't dare to conceal the truth. He knew that although Wang Baole was younger than him, he was far more cunning and resourceful than anyone else on the Moon or Mars. He also knew that Wang Baole had many trump cards and strange divine abilities.
Therefore, he spoke the truth.
"I sensed … the aura of a divine weapon!" The Big Tree was shaken to the core. To any Cultivator, the importance of a divine weapon was indescribable!
"Very well. I'll give you this wooden sword. Go and retrieve that divine weapon for me!" Wang Baole nodded. As he spoke, his eyes shone with a profound light. He looked at the Big Tree and waited for his decision.
The Big Tree was silent. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth. He didn't decline, nor did he mention the difficulty. He knew that this was his chance. On the one hand, he could resolve his grievances. On the other hand, it was his opportunity. This opportunity wasn't in the grave, but … as Wang Baole had mentioned in the Dao Palace's great hall, there was a possibility of advancing to the Yuanying realm!
He had attained the Dao many years ago. Back then, he had only absorbed half of the fruit, and his cultivation had been stuck at the perfected Core Formation realm, unable to break through. Seeing Duan Muque, Li Xingwen, and even Xu Yunkun break through, he naturally yearned for it.
If someone else had said that they were giving him this chance, he wouldn't have believed it. However, Wang Baole was able to become the Grand Supreme Elder of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.
Therefore, the Big Tree's eyes shone with determination. He dashed straight for the restrictive light door. Under Wang Baole's vigilant and expectant gaze, the Big Tree approached the green fog. His body twisted, and he shrank significantly. Then, he entered the grave through the crack!
Seeing the Big Tree enter, Wang Baole was instantly excited. He was prepared to leave immediately if anything went wrong. He activated his Flame Snatch Thearch Armor. He wasn't an ungrateful person. If the Big Tree was truly doing this for him, he would definitely think of a way to escape with him.
Just like that, time passed slowly. Soon, half an hour had passed. Just as Wang Baole was frowning and narrowing his eyes, a deafening roar came from within the grave!
Following the roar, the crack in the grave extended and widened significantly. A huge amount of green fog surged out from within, and the sound of heavy breathing could be heard. Wang Baole's body shook violently, and his mind buzzed. The Big Tree's figure rushed out from within the crack!
His face was pale, and his expression was one of fear. In his hand, he was holding … a withered severed arm!
An aura of age and decay surged from the severed arm. At the same time, the aura of a divine weapon erupted from within the severed arm!
