After the surprise attack by Shengjing Sect team, Sacred Leaf Shaman returned to her residence in Eternal Tree at the suggestion of her follower.
Seriously injured, she needed a lot of wood element spiritual energy to recover. At the same time, the surprise attack in the center of Harmony River's capital city made it difficult for people to have confidence in the defense of Harmony River. The capital city of Harmony River was no doubt prosperous, but the open structure of the three cities, as well as A Ye's complete lack of awareness as a king, made his capital city appear to be riddled with holes in the war era, allowing people to infiltrate.
Perhaps Shaman herself had no opinion on this, but after careful analysis, Zhan Ziye felt that this place was not safe at all.
Wang Lu's original idea of going to the upper reaches of Harmony River alone to intercept them was correct. Unfortunately, Wangyue siblings used their treasure chest to isolate him and thus failed to stop Shengjing Sect team. However, the key point was that Wang Lu only walked along the river, but he already saw the offensive and defensive points of Harmony River. A Ye had been a king for so many years, why couldn't he think of setting up checkpoints in the key areas? Allying with such a person really made people a bit more careful.
Therefore, under the strong request of Zhan Ziye, Shaman had to leave Harmony River and return to her hometown.
Eternal Tree was a towering tree. Before actually visiting it, it was hard for people to imagine that it would be so huge. This giant tree was located at the end of the lower reaches of Harmony River. Its trunk spanned across both sides of the river. It was taller and more majestic than any mountain in this world. Its canopy was completely hidden above the clouds, blotting out the sky and the sun. It was said that half of the light in this world came from the fluorescent insects that lived in the canopy. When the time came, the fluorescent insects flew out of their habitat, and it would be daytime under Eternal Tree. In the resting room of the fluorescent insects, it would be night. Legend has it that Eternal Tree supported the sky and the earth in this world. If Eternal Tree collapsed, the whole world would be destroyed. However, no matter how powerful a creature was, it was impossible to destroy this tree. Therefore, it was named Eternal Tree.
In this sacred and eternal tree lived hundreds of millions of creatures. These creatures built their own cities in the tree. In the most central place was the residence of "Sacred Leaf". It was the place where she meditated and dealt with various affairs.
However, when the current Sacred Leaf married the king of Harmony River, she spent most of her time in Harmony River and rarely lived in Eternal Tree.
When Shaman returned to the Eternal Tree under the protection of Zhan Ziye, her restless mood suddenly calmed down. Shaman thought that she had been accustomed to the dense water vapor above Harmony River for many years, but in the end, this place surrounded by green leaves was more suitable for her.
In the following days, while A Ye repeatedly went in and out of Golden City, Shaman concentrated on recuperating.
In the surprise attack of Shengjing Sect team, the pressure on Shaman and her follower was actually the greatest. Because Shaman not only had to take care of herself and A Ye, she also had to take care of the two children who had no fighting power at all. Her power was divided into four parts, and Shengjing Sect suddenly concentrated fire on her. If not for Zhan Ziye's timely response, Shaman would have died on the spot.
"Speaking of which, this is all thanks to you."
On the sickbed, Shaman's face already had some color, but compared with her original dignified and elegant posture, she still looked haggard. The woman quietly breathed the quiet air of the Eternal Tree and adjusted her body little by little.
Zhan Ziye accompanied her quietly by her bedside. He was reading a book woven from leaves with great interest. Hearing Shaman mention him, Zhan Ziye said without raising his head, "You and I suffer together. If you die, I will immediately be expelled. On the contrary, even if I am expelled, if you can persist until the end and get the five blood spirit crown, I can still share the benefits. Therefore, based on this simple logic, it is natural for me to help you. "
Shaman tilted her head and swept Zhan Ziye with her watery eyes.
"You're really a strange person."
"Given the average IQ and level of academic civilization on your side, I can understand your evaluation of me." Zhan Ziye casually replied and continued to turn the pages of the book in his hand. It was just that, while reading, he couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Shaman curiously asked, "Is there any problem?"
"Why don't you ask me the other way around? What's the problem?" Zhan Ziye said, closed the book, and then asked, "Do you usually cultivate these spells?"
Shaman said, "This is the inheritance of Eternal Tree …"
"Enough. No wonder Eternal Tree has such a favorable location, yet it can't be ranked in the top three in this world." Zhan Ziye unceremoniously commented, "A messy spell system, an inheritance that doesn't seek to advance, it's really a reckless waste of natural resources. I saw that your attainment in spells was good and thought that you should have a good inheritance and growth potential. But looking at you, if you want to get the five blood spirit crown, it's simply a joke! "
Shaman froze for a moment and then said with a magnanimous smile, "Originally, I didn't …"
Zhan Ziye said, "Originally, I didn't expect to take the crown alone? Wake up, I don't know how optimistic you are about the King of Harmony River, but he can't persist until the end. "
Shaman said, "You don't know him …"
Zhan Ziye coldly said, "You don't know Wang Lu either. You don't know who we will face in the end. "
"Wang Lu? That Earth Spirit? He is indeed powerful, but … "
"You don't know how powerful he really is." Zhan Ziye said, "Our biggest enemy is Golden City, but our last enemy must be Wang Lu, the winner of the five blood spirit crown. Therefore, sooner or later, we have to face him. If we want to win, we must not relax our vigilance against him. And A Ye … will never raise his vigilance against him."
Thinking of A Ye's temper, Shaman could only helplessly smile.
"A Ye can't be counted on, and Zhou Mumu also can't be counted on. Therefore, in the end, targeting Wang Lu is your task. Unfortunately, now it seems that you might as well just directly surrender." Zhan Ziye indignantly said this, but then he immediately changed his words. "No, we can't just give up like this … How about this, when you recuperate, I will reorganize the spell system for you. If you reconstruct the spell system according to my method, perhaps you can still be saved. Hmm, that's settled."
Upon hearing this, Shaman was dumbfounded. She had summoned this wood element blood spirit for some time, but she didn't know that he was actually such an arrogant and even lawless person.
However, when she thought of these past few days when she was seriously injured, his meticulous care and care, and especially that day when she was attacked by Shengjing Sect people, Zhan Ziye risked his life to rescue her. Shaman couldn't get angry. Therefore, she had to tactfully say, "I respect your strength and insight as a blood spirit. It's just that, the inheritance of Eternal Tree for thousands of years has its own profound mystery, you …"
Zhan Ziye sneered. "Ha, you want to say that my strength is not necessarily better than yours, so what qualification do I have to look down on your inheritance? That's what I thought at first, but I've been reading your legacy manuals these past few days, and I've finally confirmed one thing: Your legacy system is complete bullsh * t. Who knows how lucky you are to have your current level of cultivation. Of course, even if I say it, you won't believe it. Therefore, I will demonstrate it to you so that you will be convinced. "
With that, he stood up, and a green light bloomed in the palm of his right hand. A crystal clear seed condensed and formed in the void. A moment later, the outer shell burst open, and a young sapling drilled out and quickly grew to the height of a person. Zhan Ziye bent down and threw the sapling in his hand down. The roots and branches of the sapling contracted and bent, and then unexpectedly turned into human limbs. Several roots intertwined together and became a pair of powerful legs to support it.
"This, this is …"
Shaman's eyes widened in disbelief. She subconsciously wanted to stand up from the sickbed, but the injury in her body stopped her, causing her to groan in pain and lie back down.
Zhan Ziye lightly said, "This is the guardian tree spirit of your Eternal Tree that has been passed down for thousands of years. How about it? It can freely use the essence of Eternal Tree to shape life. According to the ancient records, I now have the rank of Golden Leaf, only one step away from Sacred Leaf. Then, Lord Sacred Leaf, tell me, even if you are in good condition, can you do the same thing as me? "
Shaman's face was heavy and she was speechless. Guardian tree spirit was not a difficult spell, but even if she was a Sacred Leaf, she could not do it as easily as Zhan Ziye. And the real problem was...
Zhan Ziye did not get the inheritance of Eternal Tree. Although he was a wood element blood spirit, his cultivation method was heterogeneous, which had nothing to do with Eternal Tree. How could he use the essence of Eternal Tree to shape life? This completely deviated from the basic principle of Eternal Tree!
"I have the Ten Thousand Methods Comprehension. Unless the aptitude requirement is very strict, there is no spell in the world that I can't learn and use. It's funny that this magical ability has never worked on the cultivation method that I really care about, such as Wang Lu's Non-Phase Method, Zhu Shiyao's Stellar Sword … However, your Eternal Tree's ten thousand years of inheritance seems to be just so-so. "
Shaman was still dumbfounded. Her heart was so shaken that she didn't know what to say.
Zhan Ziye smiled. "However, compared to you, I just have a better Master, which is nothing to be proud of. Moreover, from another point of view, to be able to cultivate to your current level with such a rough inheritance, your aptitude is indeed commendable." With that, Zhan Ziye's face turned serious. "So, I hope you can seriously follow my footsteps. We don't have much time, so we should improve a little bit."
Shaman was silent for a long time. Finally, she bit her lip and nodded.
—
Eternal Tree, outside the residence of Sacred Leaf, a cheerful voice suddenly broke the silence.
"Hahaha, Senior Brother Ziye, I'm here to play with you again."
"Wait a minute …"
Unfortunately, the person who came kicked the door open and then stood dumbfounded in front of the door.
Inside the room, Lord Sacred Leaf and her follower were sitting on the sickbed. The two held each other's hands, their faces were flushed, and their bodies were covered with fine sweat … and then, they were naked.
Seeing this spectacle, Wang Lu froze for a moment at the door. Then, under the shocked eyes of the master and follower, he quietly closed the door and turned away.
"Wait, don't go!" Shaman's panicked voice came from behind him.
"Don't go? Stay and have fun together? "Wang Lu sneered." I'm not going to lie to you! "
