(Part One)
As they walked up, there were fewer and fewer houses around them, and the trees and branches became sparser. However, the surrounding Spiritual Qi was still very rich.
The group followed the winding branches of the tree vines. Along the way, they rarely encountered members of the Divine Wood Tribe. Only occasionally could they sense that there were waves of Dharmic powers emanating from the shady areas of the trees. It seemed like someone was cultivating.
When they stopped, Shen Luo found that they had reached the highest point of the forest.
There were intertwined vines here, forming a platform with a radius of more than a hundred feet. In the center of the platform, there was a small sapling that was thirty to forty feet tall, extending high into the sky.
Shen Luo walked to the edge of the platform and looked into the distance. He saw that the surrounding area was wide and the wind was strong.
Only then did he realize that they were hundreds of feet high in the sky. He couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder how this forest grew. It's so majestic and lush."
When he finished speaking, Wu Man Er and the others were stunned for a moment. Then, they laughed.
"Big brother, you're wrong. It's not a forest under our feet. It's a tree." Back in the clan, Yun Xiaonu was a little bolder and took the initiative to say.
"A tree?" Shen Luo was surprised to hear this.
He didn't understand Yun Xiaonu's words for a while. Then, he heard Wu Man Er explain.
"Brother Shen, you can see the branches and vines below us. In fact, all of them are from the same tree. The areas we walked all the way up are also from the same tree."
"A lone tree makes a forest. Are we on the Divine Tree of the Divine Wood Clan?" Shen Luo was surprised.
Wu Man Er nodded.
"Our Divine Wood Clan has lived and bred on the Divine Tree for generations," Wu Kuihu said.
Then, he led everyone to the center of the platform and to the protruding sapling.
As soon as they got close, Shen Luo felt a strong vitality coming from the sapling. It was just a tree, but the vitality contained in it was more vast and profound than a forest.
Shen Luo's gaze fell on the sapling, and his eyes flashed. In a trance, he felt as if the world around him had suddenly changed. He was surrounded by dense forests, and all he could see was a bright green color.
Inside his body, there seemed to be a force that was automatically mobilized. From his Dantian, a ball of green light unconsciously lit up, slowly expanding into a green halo that enveloped his entire body.
At the same time, wisps of Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi, which were formed from the essence of plants and trees, gathered and seeped into his body.
Shen Luo's body and mind were immersed in that wonderful feeling. For a moment, he had forgotten where he was.
When the others saw the changes in his body, their expressions changed.
"Man 'er, you are really bold. How dare you teach our Divine Wood Clan's secret technique, the Divine Wood Grace, to an outsider?" Elder Yun Zhongyue's expression hardened as he immediately shouted.
Wu Man Er's face was also full of surprise. She didn't know what was going on, so she just looked at Shen Luo and forgot to answer.
It was the first time that Man Tianxing and Yun Xiaonu had seen Elder Yun so angry. Naturally, they didn't dare to speak.
Wu Kuihu frowned. He glanced back and forth between Wu Man Er and Shen Luo. He had a plan in his mind.
Based on his understanding of his beloved disciple, Wu Man Er's reaction showed that Shen Luo's Divine Wood Grace was not taught by Wu Man Er.
Thus, he was relieved.
In just a moment, the green halo that shrouded Shen Luo's body gradually disappeared, and the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi no longer gathered towards him.
The green light reflected in Shen Luo's eyes dissipated, and his gaze returned to normal.
The surroundings suddenly became very quiet. He turned his head to look at the others, only to see that Wu Man Er and the others were all staring at him. Among them, Elder Yun looked even more unfriendly, as if he wanted to eat him.
"What, what's wrong …" Shen Luo thought that he had done something rude when he was absent-minded.
Yun Zhongyue was about to speak, but Wu Kuihu reached out and stopped him.
"Where did you learn the Divine Wood Grace Secret Skill that you practice?" Wu Kuihu asked in a calm tone.
Hearing this, Shen Luo combined it with the special feeling he had before and understood.
Most likely, he was unconsciously led by the Divine Tree and used the Divine Wood Grace Secret Skill.
"I dare not lie. It was taught by the Tang Empire's Nation Master, Yuan Tiangang." Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, but he still told the truth.
Hearing this answer, Wu Kuihu seemed to be a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't speak for a long time.
"How dare you! Do you think that by using the tiger skin of the Tang Empire's government, you can do whatever you want? How can the Tang Empire's Nation Master know the secret skill of our Divine Wood Tribe? Tell us the truth! "Yun Zhongyue said angrily.
"The Nation Master only said that it was taught by his master. I don't know the details," Shen Luo said helplessly.
"How dare you talk nonsense." Yun Zhongyue was furious. She released the cultivation of a Genuine Immortal, and a majestic aura suddenly pressed on Shen Luo.
At this moment, not to mention Shen Luo, even Wu Man Er and the others were frightened.
"Granny Yun …" Wu Man Er hurriedly shouted.
The old woman didn't recognize anyone at this moment. She didn't have a good impression of Shen Luo because of the Devil Qi. At this moment, she was even more convinced that he came to the Divine Wood Tribe with evil intentions.
Wu Kuihu looked calm. He didn't say anything to stop her, but he also didn't open his mouth to agree.
He just watched quietly.
Shen Luo had no choice but to use the Huangting Scripture to resist with all his strength. However, he was still forced to retreat.
At the same time, the Devil Qi of Chi You in his Dantian was disturbed and suddenly became a little restless.
"What I've said is the truth. Senior, please stop. Otherwise, the Demonic Qi in my body will backfire. Once the Demonic Qi leaks out, it's hard to guarantee that it won't disturb the Divine Tree. The loss outweighs the gain," Shen Luo quickly shouted.
"Humph! How dare you threaten me? I'll kill you right here and now. I'd like to see how many waves the Devil Qi in your body can create. "Yun Zhongyue's eyes narrowed. She raised her hand and was about to slap Shen Luo.
Moonlight scattered under Shen Luo's feet. He was ready to use the Oblique Moon Step to move away and then use the escape technique to escape.
"Everyone stop."
At this time, Wu Kuihu's voice finally sounded.
Yun Zhongyue hesitated for a moment and stopped her attack. However, her Qi was locked on Shen Luo. As long as he made the slightest move, she would attack and kill him.
Shen Luo's face was very ugly. On the one hand, the Devil Qi in his body was restless. He had to divide his attention to suppress it. On the other hand, he was facing a Genuine Immortal Stage cultivator who wanted to kill him.
"You said that you learned the Divine Wood Favor from Yuan Tian Gang?" Wu Kuihu looked at Shen Luo and asked again.
Shen Luo didn't say anything. He just nodded.
"Still don't want to tell the truth?" Yun Zhongyue was angry again.
"Elder Yun, don't be impatient. What he said is not entirely impossible. "Wu Kuihu raised his hand and pressed it a few times.
Hearing this, Yun Zhongyue's eyes were full of disbelief.
