Chapter 405: Battle of Wills
A battle of wills!
Xuanyuan came to the top of a short mountain. 【
At the peak of the short mountain stood an ancient tree that was hundreds of meters tall. Every branch on its body was like a winding dragon, pointing straight to the sky. An ancient emperor aura flowed from its body. Obviously, it was an ancient tree that Yingtian the Great had personally planted. It often accompanied the Great Emperor, so the ancient emperor aura flowed from its body, making it look lifelike.
The eyes of every branch and the growth of every green leaf seemed to have its own reason, circulating the trajectory of the Great Emperor. No one dared to underestimate it.
An ancient tree that could be planted by Yingtian the Great was certainly not an ordinary ancient tree. Xuanyuan frowned and looked at an ancient tree. It was strong and vigorous. Even now, Yingtian the Great had probably passed away, but it was still thriving. This showed that it was not ordinary.
"The Great Pig, you are knowledgeable. Can you tell what kind of tree this is?" Xuanyuan suddenly said.
There was an ancient charm flowing on the ancient tree. The aura wasn't oppressive, but rather warm and gentle. It nourished everyone's souls and gave them a sense of comfort. The pig-headed Great Emperor's golden fur billowed as he paced back and forth. After a moment, he looked at the ancient tree and pondered for a long time. Then, he suddenly exclaimed,
"This is the Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits!"
As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked.
"What!" Wukong was the first to scream and exclaimed, "It's a divine tree!"
Xuanyuan was stunned and asked subconsciously,
"What divine tree?"
Obviously, Xuanyuan knew too little about the many mysteries of this world. He did not understand at all.
"When the main soul is destroyed, the attached soul is reborn. The Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits can gradually rebirth a person with a broken soul!" Wukong obviously had a certain understanding of the Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits. There were also many legends in the Land of Qingming.
"Could it be that 'Emperor Yingtian' is still alive?" Xuanyuan was extremely shocked. He exclaimed, "Yingtian Heavenly Monarch planted this tree so that his three souls and seven spirits could exist eternally. He wanted to break through the limit of immortality and become a god …"
"I've heard from my grandfather that planting the Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits can ensure that a person's soul doesn't dissipate and that they can be reborn to perfection. This is a very magical tree that has an extremely long lifespan. At this moment, I'm afraid that the Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits hasn't even fully matured yet!" Qian Duoduo's eyes were filled with surprise as she looked at the huge ancient tree in front of her.
Xuanyuan took out the Heavenly Cloud Spiritsource on him and said, "I'm going to take it.
"'Heavenly Cloud Tiger', looks like you've made the right bet. Your Heavenly Soul and Earthly Soul haven't been destroyed. Now that only your Heroic Soul remains, you should have a chance to be reborn!"
The perfect world 'Heavenly Cloud Spirit Source' began to tremble violently. The heroic soul of the 'Heavenly Cloud Tiger' directly soared towards the 'Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits' and begged piously.
"The Heavenly Cloud Spiritsource can help me rebirth one soul and six spirits …"
However, this tree that was covered in green and had an ancient imperial aura circulating around it didn't respond to the 'Heavenly Cloud Tiger' at all. It remained motionless and didn't change at all. A gentle breeze blew, and the leaves of the 'Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits' rustled. All of this was so peaceful.
"This is indeed the 'Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits', but the Great Emperor Yingtian didn't plant it to make his three souls and seven spirits immortal. The 'Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits' can at most increase the power of the Great Emperor Yingtian's three souls and seven spirits. In this world, nothing can escape the ravages of time. Everything will decay. There is no eternity, no immortality, and the Great Emperor Yingtian is no exception …" The spirit of the Raindragon Immortal Stele suddenly spoke, causing Xuanyuan and the others to be shocked. Could it be that the Raindragon Immortal Stele knew the origin of the 'Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits'?
"If that's not the reason, why would the Great Emperor Yingtian plant it himself? Is it just for fun? "The Great Pig looked at the Raindragon Immortal Stele and asked.
"Of course not. Although the Great Emperor Yingtian didn't plant it for himself, he did it for others. Ever since the Great Emperor Yingtian was young, he had a Stepping Star Tiger by his side. The Stepping Star Tiger fought alongside him, and they went through life and death together. The two of them were very close!"
"During a battle between the Great Emperor Yingtian and a powerful enemy, the Stepping Star Tiger's soul was shattered by the enemy's terrifying power. Only one soul and one spirit remained. The Great Emperor Yingtian used his supreme power to preserve the Stepping Star Tiger's soul and spirit. He also used an exotic spiritsource to ensure that the Stepping Star Tiger's physical body wouldn't be destroyed! He sealed it in an exotic spiritsource! "
At this point, the Raindragon Immortal Stele paused for a moment. It looked somewhere and sighed with emotion.
"From that day onwards, the Great Emperor Yingtian sought the divine seed of the Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits, hoping that one day, he could use the tree's power to resurrect the Stepping Star Tiger. However, the tree grew extremely slowly. The Great Emperor Yingtian spent a lot of effort to accelerate its growth, but until the day the Great Emperor Yingtian left, the Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits did not fulfill the Great Emperor Yingtian's wish. Because even the Great Emperor Yingtian's soul was about to dissipate, the Stepping Star Tiger's soul had long dissipated, so how could it be resurrected? Even though the Great Emperor used his supreme power to preserve the Stepping Star Tiger's soul and spirit, he still couldn't beat the passage of time. 【
"It was also because of this that when the Great Emperor Yingtian planted the Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits, he subdued the Raindragon to accompany him. After avenging the Stepping Star Tiger, until the day he perished, even someone as strong as the Ancient Emperor couldn't escape the eternal passage of time. No one could resist the merciless annihilation of time. No one could exist eternally under the wheel of time. Sigh —"
The Raindragon Immortal Stele let out a heartfelt sigh. It was like an elegy from the Nine Hells, lamenting that many Great Emperors couldn't escape the annihilation of time.
The words of the Raindragon Immortal Stele touched Xuanyuan's heart greatly, evoking the pain in Xuanyuan's heart. Lone Star died for him, but Xuanyuan didn't do anything for Lone Star. Jiang Yitian was still at large, and Yan Ziyun, who protected Lone Star, was also missing because of self-blame. No one knew if she was dead or alive. This was a thorn in Xuanyuan's heart forever.
In his heart, Xuanyuan shared the same pain as the Great Emperor Yingtian.
"Forget it. Since you were able to come all the way here, it can be said that you are fated with the Great Emperor Yingtian. Let me try and see if I can make the Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits react. Although it can't make up for the regret in the Great Emperor's heart, if it's useless, then there's no point in its existence." The Raindragon Immortal Stele trembled slightly, and the aura of the Great Emperor slowly converged to form the figure of a Great Emperor. It was the Great Emperor Yingtian. At this moment, the Great Emperor Yingtian was still dressed in linen, barefooted, and his handsome face had a hint of sorrow. The Great Emperor Yingtian walked to the ancient tree and gently touched the Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits, revealing a strong sense of longing.
In an instant, rays of green light flowed, and the body of the Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits evoked an incomparably mysterious power that fell down and enveloped the heroic spirit of the Heavenly Cloud Tiger.
The heroic spirit of the Heavenly Cloud Tiger shook. Suddenly, it felt as if its broken soul was summoned and gathered from different spaces, summoned by the Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits. Inexplicable doors opened, and the broken souls began to circulate on the Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits. This scene made one's mind tremble.
Xuanyuan felt as if tens of thousands of dragons were rising from the Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits. An ancient aura of the Great Emperor circulated and poured down along with the green light, gathering the broken and incomplete souls bit by bit, turning them into perfect existences and allowing them to be reborn. This feeling was indescribable.
"Thank you, Great Emperor Yingtian …" The heroic spirit of the Heavenly Cloud Tiger was extremely excited. It felt its strength recovering bit by bit. Although it could no longer reform its physical body, its one soul and seven spirits were complete, and the strength of its soul was even stronger than before!
The Heavenly Soul and Earth Soul were not in one's body. Only when one broke through to a certain realm and summoned the Earth Soul and Heaven Soul into one's body could one be considered to have made a breakthrough. Because of this, the Heavenly Cloud Tiger's Heaven Soul and Earth Soul were not destroyed.
The luck of the Heavenly Cloud Tiger was not only that. As the green light fell down, not only did it integrate with the power to recover the soul, but it also integrated with Great Emperor Yingtian's longing for the Stepping Star Tiger. Every bit of information about the Stepping Star Tiger was integrated into the memories of the Heavenly Cloud Tiger along with the green light …
In an instant, the Heavenly Cloud Tiger felt a sense of transcendence. In the unseen world, the life spirit of the Heavenly Cloud Tiger trembled violently, as if it was about to break through to the Eighth Revolution of the Immortal Realm, the Life Immortal Realm. However, after trembling for a moment, its life spirit stopped.
At this moment, the Heavenly Cloud Tiger had lost its physical body. The soul and the physical body complemented each other. If the physical body was destroyed, the soul would have nothing to rely on. How could it make a breakthrough? Where would it get the power to nourish the soul?
"It's a pity that my physical body is destroyed. Otherwise, I would have already stepped into the Life Immortal Realm." The Heavenly Cloud Tiger's one soul and seven spirits gathered together perfectly. Its aura was very powerful.
The green light from the Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits stopped falling down. Bit by bit, the Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits returned to its original appearance. It seemed as if nothing had changed.
"This can be considered as giving you an opportunity on behalf of Emperor Ying Tian. However, your opportunity was born along with Xuanyuan's luck. Therefore, if Xuanyuan can defeat the will left by the Emperor, then you can be considered to have been reborn. If not, all of you will have to spend the rest of your lives in this place. Time will wear you down bit by bit. Unless one day, you can reach the peak of the Sky Immortal Realm and break through this place, then you can leave!" The spirit of the Immortal Tablet of Rain-Dragon said lightly.
"The Great Emperor has given me this great opportunity. If Xuanyuan can defeat the remaining will of the Great Emperor, I am willing to stay here with the Great Emperor for seven years to repay his kindness to me." After this disaster, the Heavenly Cloud Tiger had undergone a great transformation. Especially after following Xuanyuan and seeing so many people and things, as well as the memories of the Emperor and the Star Stepping Tiger, it felt that this change was undoubtedly earth-shattering.
"Good …" The Immortal Tablet of Rain-Dragon let out a long laugh and sighed. "Perhaps everything has already been decided."
Xuanyuan nodded. Seeing that the soul of the Heavenly Cloud Tiger was complete, he finally didn't go back on his promise with the Heavenly Cloud Tiger.
Qian Duoduo, The Great Pig, Wukong, and Yiyi all had a look of surprise on their faces. They looked at the Undying Tree of Three Souls and Seven Spirits in front of them. Obviously, no matter who was present, it was the first time they had seen the power of this divine tree. They were quite shocked.
Only Xuanyuan's heart was as calm as an ancient well, without any ripples. His heart was empty!
"Let's go. Let's go into the thatched cottage where Emperor Yingtian once lived and see what he left behind." Xuanyuan sighed. There was an indescribable calmness in his heart. It was fate that Emperor Yingtian's regret was able to befall the Heavenly Cloud Tiger. However, he could no longer make up for his own regret. He could only kill Jiang Yitian and avenge Guxing.
Xuanyuan walked towards the thatched cottage and reached out to gently push open the small door. From inside the thatched cottage, the aura of an ancient emperor flowed out. It made people want to kneel and submit. However, everything inside the thatched cottage was so ordinary. There was no purposeful aura. This was the aura that Emperor Yingtian produced after living here for a long time.
Inside the thatched cottage, there was a treasured sword hanging on the wall. This treasured sword looked very simple, and its aura was restrained. However, it tugged at everyone's heart. There was a treasured sword in the place where Emperor Yingtian lived. If there were countless terrifying forces outside, they would probably fight each other to snatch it. They would kill each other until their heads bled.
However, Xuanyuan and the others only had a thought. After a while, everyone gradually began to calm down. Of course, there was one thing that was not calm, and that was The Great Pig. However, the battle between Xuanyuan and Emperor Yingtian was imminent, and the Great Pig did not want to cause any trouble. Therefore, it suppressed the greedy thoughts in its heart.
Next to the wall, there was a wooden bed. This wooden bed looked very ordinary and was fixed with stone nails. There was nothing special about it, but it gave off an indescribable feeling.
Next to the wooden bed, there was an exotic Spirit Source. This exotic Spirit Source was none other than the Heavenly Cloud Spirit Source. This Heavenly Cloud Spirit Source was very large, many times larger than the Heavenly Cloud Spirit Source that formed the perfect world. Within the Spirit Source, there was a tiger tribe ferocious beast with dazzling fur. It gave off an air of supreme majesty. Its eyes were closed, and its face was serene as it slept.
Xuanyuan said in a low voice,
"This is the Star Stepping Tiger, right?"
"That's right." The spirit of the Ying Long Immortal Stele sighed with emotion. "Back then, when Emperor Ying Tian was in the Mystic Forbidden Land, a Heavenly Cloud Tiger offered up an exotic spirit source in hopes of sealing the body of the Emperor's close friend, the Star Stepping Tiger, so that its body would never decay. But now, it seems that after countless years, the energy in this Heavenly Cloud spirit source is about to be exhausted. The body of the Star Stepping Tiger will still decay."
"If that's the case, why not let the Heavenly Cloud Tiger's soul and seven spirits enter the Star Stepping Tiger's body, so that the Heavenly Cloud Tiger tribe can continue to protect Emperor Yingtian's body from being destroyed and accompany the Great Emperor?" Xuanyuan smiled faintly.
"You're right, but all of this will have to wait until you defeat the remaining will of Emperor Yingtian. Only then will you have the right to touch everything left behind by Emperor Yingtian. So before that, you should take care of yourself first." The Ying Long Immortal Tablet still didn't believe that Xuanyuan could defeat the remaining will of Emperor Yingtian. Disregarding everything else, the difference between the two was too great.
Xuanyuan nodded and looked at the coarse linen clothes on the wooden bed. On this coarse linen clothes, there was a remnant of the will of the Yingtian Emperor. In this room, the atmosphere that made people want to kneel, surrender, and worship was also emitted from this coarse linen clothes.
Next to the coarse hemp clothes was a dragon tooth. This dragon tooth was seven feet long, like a sharp sword that could pierce through anything. From this dragon tooth, there was the aura of a Rainbringer. Without a doubt, this was the dragon tooth of a Rainbringer.
"Xuanyuan, if you want to win against Emperor Yingtian, then let's do it here. I look forward to your performance," the Ying Long Immortal Tablet said to Xuanyuan as it left Xuanyuan and hovered in the air.
"Xuanxuan, do your best. No matter what, we believe in you. You will win because you are a good person." Qian Duoduo was firm and encouraged Xuanyuan. Yiyi also jumped up and down to cheer for Xuanyuan.
"Yiyi — yi —"
"That's right, Xuanyuan, boy, I believe that you have your strength. Since you have made up your mind, you must be confident. I believe that they will not be wrong about you." Although Wukong was also conflicted and felt that the possibility of Xuanyuan defeating the remaining will of Emperor Yingtian was not high, he still instinctively felt that Xuanyuan was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.
The Great Pig's expression became serious and he said in a heavy voice, "Boy, don't be afraid of anything.
"Brat, you don't have to be afraid of anything. Give it your all. You came here for a Great Sovereign. Even a living person wouldn't be able to stop you, let alone a dead person. Dead people are already in the past. Even a Great Sovereign's luck isn't as good as yours. Your luck is like the sun in the sky, you will definitely be strong!"
"Haha, don't worry, I won't die. Watch as I completely obliterate the aura of Emperor Yingtian and prove my future Way of the Great Emperor." Xuanyuan laughed and fell into silence. Xuanyuan sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes. In an instant, the last hidden Blue Dragon acupoint in Xuanyuan's body was suddenly broken.
With a loud bang, the door in Xuanyuan's body was completely blasted open. Everyone could only feel a mysterious power connecting together in Xuanyuan's body. In the sky, the seventh constellation in the east moved. The last acupoint of the Winnowing Basket was broken by Xuanyuan. The starlight of the Winnowing Basket flowed and rushed down. As the Winnowing Basket moved, the other six constellations also moved. The seven constellations in the east suddenly connected, and seven rays of starlight swept down from the sky as if they had been revived …
Xuanyuan felt his body tremble. The seven hidden Blue Dragon acupoints in his body were all connected together.
The starlight directly penetrated the roof of the thatched cottage and merged into Xuanyuan's body. Within the starlight, there was a more precious starlight fighting qi than before. It was madly absorbed by Xuanyuan. The star in Xuanyuan's Winnowing Basket Acupoint rapidly became bright, soft, and complete under Xuanyuan's continuous absorption and refinement. Everything happened so suddenly that everyone was caught unprepared.
Xuanyuan's strength skyrocketed. From the original 42 Imperial Dragons' strength, it kept rising.
43 Imperial Dragons' strength.
44 Imperial Dragons' strength.
…
49 Imperial Dragons' strength.
It only stopped when he had forty-nine Emperor Dragons' strength!
At this moment, a small strand of Xuanyuan's consciousness suddenly exploded. It turned into an incomparably sharp longsword and slashed at the coarse hemp robe.
However, even though the Emperor was only a remnant of his consciousness, how could he allow others to provoke him? The dragon tooth at the edge of the coarse hemp robe trembled. A huge wave of consciousness rolled and the dragon's roar filled every corner of the room.
"You're finally here. The Emperor and I have been waiting for you for a long time, young man." The supreme consciousness of the 'Yinglong' was also incomplete, but it was incomparably vast. It turned into a dragon-shaped light and pierced towards the space between Xuanyuan's eyebrows.
This consciousness was incomparably terrifying. Everyone could feel it. Even an Earthly Immortal would not be spared. This time, Xuanyuan was really done for.
However, at this moment, a Blue Dragon Inner Elixir suddenly floated in front of Xuanyuan.
This Blue Dragon Inner Elixir contained endless Celestial Power of the Blue Dragon. A Blue Dragon's consciousness hovered in front of Xuanyuan. Under the sky full of stars, Xuanyuan looked like a god.
"So that's how it is …" The pig-headed Emperor's eyes glowed brightly as he burst out laughing.
"This kid has surprised me. So he already knows that he can't resist the supreme consciousness of the 'Primordial Blue Dragon', so he deliberately challenged the remnant consciousness of the 'Emperor Yingtian' and 'Yinglong.' He wants to be the fisherman who benefits when the sandpiper and the clam fight. This kid is really something." “
If the 'Primordial Blue Dragon' wants Xuanyuan's body, it must make Xuanyuan's soul completely surrender to it. Only then can it obtain Xuanyuan's body in the most perfect way. However, Xuanyuan cannot die. Since it has entered Xuanyuan's body with the 'Blue Dragon Inner Elixir', Xuanyuan and Xuanyuan are bound together. Now, no matter what, it must protect Xuanyuan and ensure that he does not die! " The Greedy Old Man's surprised voice could be heard.
"Haha, that's it. This kid is too much." The pig-headed Great Emperor roared in his heart.
At this moment, a huge ancient Blue Dragon's consciousness spread out and intertwined with the consciousness of the 'Yinglong'.
A battle between the remnant consciousnesses of the former peak began!
