There were already three nests, and Prince Xue's final secret space was about to reveal its true appearance.
Su Fang and Huang Lingyao were a thousand meters away from each other. They followed Prince Xue into the abyss formed by layers of roots.
Some Big Goblin and Tree Demons flashed or howled from time to time.
They could also sense that many cultivators were searching for treasures in the abyss of the Earth Realm.
Su Fang gradually realized that Prince Xue was as mysterious as he expected. "Prince Xue's aura is hidden too perfectly. If I hadn't been following him, even the Ancient Spirit Fireflies wouldn't have been able to find him in this environment."
The Divine Image Jade Annulus in his Divine Aperture had been assisting Su Fang in sensing. "This person has Immortal Spirit Qi. I don't know if it's a Dao Artifact from the Immortal World or a mysterious secret technique that can hide his aura. It's very extraordinary."
"This person has merged with an Immortal World. He must have a lot of abilities from the Great World."
"Immortal Worlds are tombs or Daoist temples where Immortals died. If it's a complete Immortal World, then it's incredible. There are Dao Artifacts and many techniques left behind by Immortals when they were alive. If Prince Xue gets it, he'll undoubtedly have means that ordinary cultivators can't control."
"Huang Lingyao wants to use me to deal with Prince Xue. Hmph, she's not simple. Prince Xue isn't someone to be trifled with either."
The more he felt that Prince Xue was extraordinary, the more he looked at Huang Lingyao, who was hiding in the depths on his left.
He felt that something was wrong, especially with Lan Haicheng.
If it was in the past, Lan Haicheng would definitely communicate with him secretly. At least, he would say some polite words. But now, he was like a stranger.
Just this alone was enough to explain the problem.
If he wasn't familiar with Lan Haicheng, it would be fine. But after experiencing life and death together on the Seven Stars Demon Island, he didn't say a word or even look at him.
Wasn't this suspicious?
In fact, it was extremely ironic that in the past, they were all Venerable Dao disciples who stood together. Now, they were once again standing together, fighting openly and in secret, but for their own interests.
At this moment, he focused his mind and sensed that the fog seemed to have suddenly become cold and desolate. "Prince Xue has entered the tree root space again and is at least ten thousand meters deep. This must be where his nest is."
From what he could sense, Huang Lingyao was close to the bottom of the tree root. She seemed to be sensing from the outside. It was unknown how powerful her Desolate Physique's sensing ability was. At the very least, she had a certain level of confidence, which was why she stayed here to secretly investigate.
Su Fang, on the other hand, used the power of the Gourd Spirit Tree. His entire body was wrapped by the branches and leaves of his left arm. Like a tree vine, he followed the leaves, some spirit herbs, weeds, and other plants into the roots of the tree.
He searched along Prince Xue's aura. There were a large number of crisscrossing and connecting root passages inside. Many of them looked withered, but in reality, there were countless meridians inside that were channeling nutrients.
If there was no aura, it would be difficult to find Prince Xue in a short period of time.
"This is the root passage's depths. There's a lot of spiritual liquid and life aura, but it's not even one-tenth of the geocentric roots. Prince Xue's aura has begun to extend down the tree root. He must have gone very deep."
He continued to conceal himself and passed through many barriers, reaching deeper into the tree root.
After about three thousand meters, Su Fang stopped. Below him was the straight downward root space.
About three hundred meters down, there was an altar made of large amounts of spirit stones at the tree root. Prince Xue was floating on one side of the altar.
Just as Su Fang was about to see what he was doing, he suddenly saw the front of the altar continuously absorbing spiritual liquid from the tree root into the altar.
In the center of the altar, there was a figure that looked like an old man sitting cross-legged. The old man was holding a very familiar spiritual gourd in his hands.
Seeing this, Su Fang almost exclaimed, "A mother spiritual gourd, and its quality is almost at the peak of the Royal Grade."
The spiritual gourd in the old man's hands turned out to be a mother gourd. It was the spiritual gourd that matured when the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree shot out.
After the spiritual gourd was obtained, it was refined by an expert using the spiritual water of the Earth Realm and the other powers of the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree to collect immature spiritual gourds and cultivate them.
Then, a child gourd that looked like the Fire Cloud Spiritual Gourd was born.
There weren't many mother spiritual gourds, and it was very difficult to cultivate them. When they first shot out, they were only superior-grade artifacts. After many years and using spiritual items related to the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree, they could be cultivated into a Royal Grade artifact.
It would probably take at least ten thousand years to cultivate their consciousness to the Royal Grade.
In addition, the spiritual gourd itself would need at least ten thousand years to reach a higher quality.
Therefore, the mother spiritual gourd in the old man's hands was at least twenty thousand years old.
At the same time, he also found that the mother spiritual gourd had absorbed a lot of essence from the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree. It was full of life essence.
"Prince Xue is too capable. The space around him is not simple, especially this space. That mother spiritual gourd has absorbed a lot of essence. If he fuses with the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree, he'll be on par with me. With the help of an expert, he'll surpass me."
"Destroy, I must destroy that old man!"
He secretly clenched his fists. Not only did he want to destroy Prince Xue's fusion with the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree, but he also wanted to obtain the essence in the mother spiritual gourd.
His gaze settled on the old man again. He kept concentrating his senses. Suddenly, he was stunned. "This is a living dead person. He doesn't have any essence spirit aura, but he's using the mother spiritual gourd to absorb the essence. It seems like he's under Prince Xue's control and has become a puppet in his hands."
"This old man feels as strong as Heartless Grandma. If he's so strong after death, wouldn't he be stronger than Heartless Grandma when he was alive? Also, Prince Xue must have killed him. Otherwise, how could he cultivate into a puppet?"
"Prince Xue is very scary. He can kill such a strong expert, and I don't know how many years ago he did it. I must not underestimate this person."
He drew the old man's appearance with True Patterns and carefully left this place.
He still had to go out and meet up with Sister Yu and Li Zeqing. He also had to discuss countermeasures with Huang Lingyao. He didn't know how many secrets Huang Lingyao could find out.
After he came out, he walked a distance and waited in the abyss.
Soon, Sister Yu and Li Zeqing brought more than thirty experts to the abyss. Su Fang carefully condensed the surrounding space with True Patterns.
He knew that Sister Yu came here mainly to catch the Great Emperor Dipper off guard, so he immediately changed the topic to the space where the Great Emperor Dipper was.
Sister Yu looked carefully, and her eyes turned cold. "The Great Emperor Dipper and Xin Xiang Sheng don't know that we're hiding in the dark. Although they're on guard, they won't pay too much attention to us. This time, I'll bring the experts of the Divine Sect to deal with the Great Emperor Dipper and Xin Xiang Sheng. We'll split into three forces. As for the space where the Crown Prince Society is, they're just a bunch of ants. We'll split into three groups, and each of us will bring some experts to attack three different spaces at the same time. We'll try our best to kill them, but if we can't, we'll leave as soon as possible."
She wasn't completely focused on getting rid of the experts of the Shenyuan Empire and Doichi.
Su Fang felt a lot better. It seemed that the Lord of Five Poisons was a friend worth making. If the Five Poisons Divine Sect didn't care about him, then Sister Yu wouldn't have split the experts she brought into three.
"Sister Yu, I only need two seniors of the Divine Sect to help me deal with Prince Xue. I don't need too many people. Besides, I'm working with the Celestial Bestowment Sect's disciple, Huang Lingyao, to deal with Prince Xue together. Too many people would be inconvenient."
Su Fang refused Sister Yu's good intentions. They didn't need seven or eight people, but two experts to help them in secret.
He continued, "To deal with the Great Emperor Dipper, it's best to use the Six Yuan card. After hiding for so long, it's time to use him to kill the Great Emperor Dipper. He won't be able to return to the Shenyuan Empire."
Sister Yu listened and finally agreed. After all, dealing with Prince Xue wasn't as difficult as dealing with the Great Emperor Dipper or Heart Image Sheng.
Li Zeqing was in charge of leading a group of experts to deal with the Celestial Bestowment Sect's Yuan Tianzong and Elder Juedao.
"Senior, look at this person. Do you recognize him?" Su Fang suddenly condensed a true mark that transformed into the appearance of an old man.
It was the old man that Prince Xue was controlling.
"How familiar."
Li Zeqing didn't expect him to recognize this old man. He carefully looked at the true mark and was deeply shaken. "He should be a peerless expert from the Spirit Mist World. People call him Daoist Gourd."
Daoist Gourd
Sister Yu raised an eyebrow. "Is it really him? Among the experts that my divine sect has gathered, there's Daoist Gourd from the Spirit Mist World. I heard from my subordinates that he's been cultivating for twenty thousand years and hasn't ascended to a great world. So he's actually here."
"It really is him. Look at his belt and the many spirit gourd totems on his Daoist robes, as well as the mother spirit gourd in his hand. He really is Daoist Gourd."
Li Zeqing nodded. "Ten thousand years ago, he obtained a mother spirit gourd in the Zhuotian World. Since then, he's become famous in the Zhuotian World, the Spirit Mist World, the Qilian World, and the Wu Tan World. Although he's a rogue cultivator, his influence is enough to make the major powers fear him. It's also rumored that he has an extremely powerful spirit gourd divine ability that can absorb cultivators. Once someone is sucked in, they'll immediately be killed by the poison. When I entered the Xianzha Gate, he even appeared in the Wu Tan World. Why is he suddenly with this Prince Xue?
"According to my senses, this person's Yang Soul is long gone. He's just a puppet. He's most likely in Prince Xue's hands. He's hidden in the abyss of the earth world to secretly collect the essence of the spirit gourd for him." Su Fang couldn't remain calm.
"Be careful. If that's the case, then Prince Xue also has such a powerful expert helping him." Sister Yu's expression turned grave.
After the plan was laid out, the three of them didn't stop to rest. They each led their experts to infiltrate the three nests.
After Su Fang and the two Divine Enlightenment Ascension Realm experts flew through the many underground spaces, they first had them wait outside the space where Prince Xue was.
Not long after, Huang Lingyao and Lan Haicheng came to meet them.
"Senior Sister, have you found Prince Xue's secret space?" Su Fang first glanced at Lan Haicheng, then anxiously asked Huang Lingyao.
Huang Lingyao's gaze suddenly turned sharp. "Prince Xue has several spaces. Many experts of the Crown Prince Faction are helping him collect the essence of the Heavenly Gourd Tree. He himself is in the depths of a tree root space. He's starting to activate the method he buried hundreds of years ago to absorb the essence of the Heavenly Gourd Tree from several different spaces."
"This person is very powerful." He was surprised that Huang Lingyao could accurately find the four spaces with such methods.
"Fortunately, this person is worried that someone will covet his results. Not only are the spaces separated by a great distance, but they also can't sense each other. As long as we directly attack Prince Xue, we can get rid of him. His experts won't be able to come to his aid."
"Senior Sister, this person is so powerful. I'm afraid he's set up all kinds of traps in those spaces. Although I'm strong, I'm only relying on the help of the senior behind me. If I'm alone, I naturally don't have the confidence to get rid of Prince Xue."
At this moment, Su Fang put on a pitiful and helpless expression.
More than that, he had no confidence.
Huang Lingyao suddenly reached out and pressed her jade fingers against his chest. "How could I let you deal with Prince Xue alone? Of course, we'll work together."
Su Fang felt the tenderness from her body. His heart was as firm as a pine tree. He happily responded, "That's good. Then what about Senior Sister Lan?"
"Lan Haicheng is mainly responsible for hiding in the shadows. If Prince Xue's helpers really come, not only can they inform us immediately, but they can also ambush them halfway. This way, we won't have to worry about the rear." Huang Lingyao glanced sideways at Lan Haicheng and smiled.
