Shen Luo immediately calmed his mind and circulated the Yellow Court Scripture again. He activated the Demon Slaying Sword to suppress the Demonic Qi in his body.
After being burned by the Red Lotus Hellfire in the pure Yang flying sword, the Demonic Qi in his body seemed to have been damaged. The pure Yang power gradually gained the upper hand and suppressed it.
After a while, the abnormality in Shen Luo's body gradually disappeared. Just as he was rejoicing, he suddenly felt a small shackle in his body shatter with a crack.
In the next moment, a whirlwind whistled in the first underground level of the Martial God Altar.
Shen Luo could not help but be speechless. He had actually broken through a small bottleneck in that situation just now. His cultivation had advanced from the mid-Mahayana realm to the late-Mahayana realm.
He hurriedly raised his hand and waved. The pure Yang flying sword floated in the air and flew around him.
The sword's body was blazing with flames. It circled around him like a guard patrolling. It forced back the Demonic Qi that tried to approach him.
Shen Luo closed his eyes and made a hand seal. He began to gather the Spirit Qi from all directions into his body.
However, in the first underground level of the Martial God Altar, there was a lot of Demonic Qi. The Spirit Qi was so thin that it made one's hair stand on end.
There was only a whirlwind around him. He could not absorb the Spirit Qi at all.
However, at this moment, an unexpected situation occurred.
The entire Martial God Altar rumbled. Suddenly, a green light lit up in the surrounding darkness.
One, two, three …
After a while, a total of 18 green lights lit up in the surroundings.
At the same time, the Divine Wood Blessing secret technique in Shen Luo's body began to circulate on its own without being activated.
In the next moment, wisps of extremely pure Wood Spirit Qi were produced from the 18 lights. They shuttled through the void like fish and surged toward Shen Luo's body.
As layers of Spirit Qi poured in, Shen Luo's body was immediately enveloped by a green light. Even without the protection of the pure Yang flying sword, the surrounding Demonic Qi could not squeeze in at all.
He immediately circulated his cultivation technique and received it without holding back.
…
Everyone in the Martial God Altar's stone house was shocked once again.
Just now, the entire Divine Tree shook violently, and the vines of the Divine Tree wrapped around the stone house lit up one after another. Wisps of green Spiritual Qi flowed through the roots of the Divine Tree and poured into the ground.
"What did that kid do?" Yun Ziting asked with a frown.
His gaze was fixed on the circular array on the ground. The Devil Qi there had not disappeared, and the black fog still covered most of the green light area.
"Why is the divine tree acting strangely as well? Could it be … "Yun Zhongyue opened her eyes and said with some fear.
Although she didn't finish her sentence, everyone understood what she was implying.
"First Elder, is there any problem with the sealing formation?" Wu Kuihu asked with a frown.
Yun Zhongting examined it carefully for a moment before shaking his head and replying, "I can't see any problems for the time being. There's no obvious reaction from the first layer's restriction formation, so it shouldn't have been damaged."
"What are you suspecting? How could Shen Daoyou do such a thing?" Jiang Shentian couldn't help but argue for Shen Luo.
"Master, let me connect with the divine tree and see what's going on," Wu Man Er also said.
"Okay … Be careful." Wu Kuihu hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Wu Man Er nodded and quickly sat down cross-legged. Her hands made a gesture as if she was picking flowers, and she started to chant softly.
Her voice was soft and ethereal, and it echoed in the secret chamber.
The aerial roots and tree vines on the surrounding walls also seemed to be responding to her chanting. They rose and fell with her voice, flashing with a green light.
The wisps of dim light on the ground swam towards her like swimming fishes. Then, they gathered under her body, and transformed into a green light magic array that was only about ten feet in radius.
"Whoosh …"
A gentle whirlwind rose from under Wu Man Er, and the silver ornaments on her body jingled.
Her beautiful hair gently danced in the wind, and her pair of brown eyes had unknowingly turned into a jade-like translucent green.
Wu Man Er waved her hands in front of her, and the green light on the ground rose slowly. Gradually, it condensed into a three-foot-tall green tree shadow in front of her. It looked very similar to the divine tree's primordial spirit.
After the tree shadow appeared, it swayed gently. Although it was illusory, it seemed to have merged with Wu Man Er. There was an indescribable sense of harmony and beauty between the two.
Her body exuded an incomparably rich spiritual energy of plants. Her graceful figure and the tree shadow complemented each other. She looked like a plant spirit that had cultivated into a human form.
Wu Man Er slowly closed her eyes and stroked the tree's shadow with her hands. Then, the tree's shadow lit up like stars.
The two seemed to be communicating with each other.
After a moment, Wu Man Er slowly opened her eyes. The emerald green light in her eyes slowly faded, and the tree shadow in front of her disappeared.
Everyone looked at Wu Man Er. Her expression was a little strange.
"What's wrong?" Wu Kuihu asked hurriedly.
"Brother Shen … He, he seems to be absorbing the spiritual energy of the divine tree …" Wu Man Er said hesitantly.
"What?" Upon hearing this, Yun Ziting's expression changed.
"I told you that he was up to no good. Now it seems that I was right," Yun Zhongyue shouted immediately.
Wu Kuihu frowned slightly, and his eyes flickered with hesitation.
"Everyone, calm down. Although … although Brother Shen is absorbing the spiritual energy of the divine tree, the divine tree is not rejecting him. In fact, it is actively transferring its spiritual energy. I think Brother Shen has no evil intentions. Otherwise, the divine tree would not have done this, "Wu Man Er said.
"But what is he doing down there?" Yun Ziting could not help but ask.
"I think Shen Daoyou might have had an opportunity to break through to the next realm. Therefore, he needs to absorb a large amount of spiritual energy to fill his Dantian and Dharma Meridians," Jiang Shentian guessed.
Hearing this, everyone thought for a while and felt that it made sense. They could not help but be amazed.
"I don't think this is a good thing. He is absorbing the spiritual energy of the divine tree and stirring up changes in the spiritual energy of the first floor. It is very likely that it will trigger another Demonic Qi riot. It will attract the Void Demons and even the demonic creatures to attack the first floor," Yun Ziting said worriedly.
"It can't be. It hasn't been long since the demonic creatures last riot. They must have lost a lot of their vitality. They won't come again so soon, right?" Yun Zhongyue said in disbelief.
"How can the demonic creatures be judged by common sense?" Yun Ziting said with a frown.
Wu Kuihu's face turned solemn as he ordered, "No matter what, we have to be prepared. Once things go south, we will immediately activate the Silent Burning Array. We can't allow those demonic creatures to occupy this floor no matter what. Otherwise, our Divine Wood Clan will violate our ancestral teachings and lose the Martial God Altar."
Although Jiang Shentian did not know what the Silent Burning Array was, he could tell that the situation was urgent. He quickly asked, "What about Shen Daoyou?"
"By that time, he would have been torn apart by the demonic creatures. So, there is no need to consider what to do with him," Yun Ziting said coldly.
"Master, don't worry. Brother Shen will be able to clear the Demonic Qi and come back safely," Wu Man Er said.
"Man Er, now is not the time to be emotional," Wu Kuihu said without looking at her.
Wu Man Er knew that it was useless to beg. She could only pray for Shen Luo in her heart.
