"Ignore her for now. Let's see if we can find the person Jintai mentioned. That person might be an old acquaintance of Wei Chunqiu's." Yue Qianchou's gaze searched around, thinking of where to look.
"Wei Chunqiu knows him?" Da Ming Lun was a little surprised. He didn't know when Wei Chunqiu knew such a powerful person. He had never heard of him. He looked around in disbelief. "This ancient forest is so vast. Do we really have to search one area at a time?"
"Search one area at a time?" Yue Qianchou shook his head. "I'm afraid we won't be able to find that person even if we search the entire ancient forest. I heard Wei Chunqiu say that the person's residence seems to be in another world. Moreover, the entrance is erratic. It's not like the other two worlds that are fixed in one place after the passage opens. It's very mysterious. So we have to rely on luck to find that person. Otherwise, Jintai wouldn't have used such a stupid method to find that person."
He suddenly turned his head to look at Da Ming Lun and smiled. "Actually, we're just looking. Do we really have to risk our lives to help Jintai? If we run into him, we'll see. If we don't, then forget it. At least on the surface, we can get by with Jintai. Don't you think so? "
He probably didn't realize that without the World Commerce Association's subordinates in the Immortal World as restraints and after witnessing Bi Changchun's methods that were not inferior to the other experts at Jin Tai's wedding, his mentality had gradually changed. Although he didn't mean it, his tone when speaking to Da Ming Lun was no longer as respectful as when speaking to the commander of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. To be more precise, there was no need to act like a grandson in front of Da Ming Lun.
And the Great Bright Wheel had accompanied him step by step, and he had subconsciously become a little unconcerned. Yue Qianchou's mysterious means of sending Wei Chunqiu and a large group of people to the Divine Ruin Realm, as well as his relationship with the Underworld Emperor and the Underworld Saintess, had all shocked him. Now he realized that this lad was somewhat unfathomable. Most importantly, Wei Chunqiu and Yun Peng had a close relationship with this kid. Adding to the fact that they had risked their lives to save him, Da Ming Lun's mentality had changed greatly.
Once the two of them finished discussing, they headed into the depths of the forest together.
Walking from the edge of the ancient forest to the depths of the vast forest, one would find that the distance between the trees was getting thinner and thinner, but the individual trees were getting bigger and bigger. Even a dozen people holding hands would not be able to encircle these trees. Some of these towering trees were even hundreds of feet tall, and some of them had a canopy that could cover a radius of several miles, or even dozens of miles. The trunks of these trees were as sturdy and majestic as a city. It was hard to imagine how many years of snow, rain, wind, and frost they had experienced to grow to such a size.
The magnificent trees attracted Yue Qianchou from time to time to climb up to the crown of the trees. Standing on the branches, he looked around at the undulating green ocean. He realized that the scenery was even more spectacular and shocking than when he was flying in the sky. A gust of wind blew past, bringing with it a refreshing air. Amidst the rippling blue waves in front of him, there were also many beautiful purples and beautiful reds. There were all kinds of trees with leaves that were not green.
A flock of white-feathered birds circled above the sea of trees for a while, then landed on the crown of the trees like blooming magnolia. One could even see light apes with their arms spread out, eagle cries circling in the sky, and tiger roars and ape cries below. It was a natural scene that fascinated people.
Da Ming Lun, who was standing on the crown of the tree, looked at Yue Qianchou in confusion. He did not know why he looked so infatuated. Da Ming Lun had not experienced the destruction of nature in the industrial era of Yue Qianchou's previous life. As an immortal with profound cultivation in this era, he could not understand the worship of nature of the people of that era.
"In the future, if it is possible, I would like to build a hut in this vast sea of trees and no longer care about the gratitude and grudges of this world." Standing on the crown of the tree, Yue Qianchou waved his hand and pointed at the green ocean in all directions.
Da Ming Lun did not know why he was sighing. Chu Tianji's eyes slightly muttered to himself, "Where there are people, there are grudges. Once you step in, it is very difficult to leave. You do not want to provoke others, but there will always be people who cannot forget about you. If you want to live in seclusion … to live in seclusion, you must have enough strength. Otherwise, how can your former enemies let you go."
How could he not know this principle! Yue Qianchou casually plucked a leaf from the branch beside him and placed it in his mouth. After chewing for a while, the juice of the leaf was stuck in his mouth and a bitter taste spread on his tongue. After forcefully swallowing it, he could not help but shake his head with a bitter smile. Just think about that Senior Mu that Wei Chunqiu spoke of. If he did not have profound strength, how could he live in seclusion here for so many years without anyone daring to disturb him?
The two of them jumped down from the crown of the tree and continued to search. Along the way, they discovered that on the dark ground covered by the towering trees, this land that never saw the light of day all year round began to reveal a wonder of life that was completely different from the outside world … all kinds of glowing plants!
The deeper they went, the more glowing plants there were. Gradually, large groups of glowing plants appeared in their field of vision. Glowing moss, glowing mushrooms, all kinds of ferns and fungus plants displayed a dazzling array of colors. There were also all kinds of vines that were like weeping willows that emitted a natural and gentle glow.
Yue Qianchou marveled at the wonders of nature. He could not help but fall into a group of lavender-like plants that emitted a gentle purple light. This immediately startled the small animals that were lurking in or around it. Butterflies spread their glowing palm-sized wings and fluttered. Beetles with star-like spots of light on their shells hurriedly fluttered their wings and flew away. Just as they landed and climbed onto a tree trunk not far away, they saw a parrot-like bird with blue feathers on its head scuttling out from the branches and leaves of the tree trunk. It quickly hunted the beetles and then chased after the beetles that were flying around.
A group of porcupine-like little fellows with a cluster of bluish-white glowing thorns on their backs quickly escaped from under Yue Qianchou's feet. A fierce female porcupine, in order to protect her cubs, bent the thorns on her back and took the initiative to attack Yue Qianchou. As a result, she was kicked away by Yue Qianchou, who did not have any tender feelings for the fairer sex. She rolled a few times not far away and quickly ran away with the group of cubs while screaming.
A few ghost-like black panthers crawled out of the natural cave formed by the roots of the tree. They stared at Yue Qianchou with their green eyes and let out a low growl. They seemed to be ready to attack. Yue Qianchou ignored them. Instead, he raised his head and looked up at the tree. He saw a huge python in a colorful camouflage aiming at the black panthers below. It silently slid down the tree trunk and approached them.
The black panthers seemed to have noticed something from Yue Qianchou's actions. A black panther that seemed to be the leader raised its head and looked up at the tree. It immediately let out a frightened roar to warn the others. Several black panthers quickly fled.
When the huge python saw that its prey had escaped, it raised its head and hissed angrily at Yue Qianchou. It suddenly shot over like an arrow leaving the bow. Yue Qianchou snorted coldly. The Purple Flame High Energy Saber that was protecting his side immediately shot out a few streaks. In an instant, the huge python was torn into hundreds of pieces in midair. It fell to the ground in a rain of blood.
The gorgeous and enchanting colors were immediately mixed with the smell of blood. It immediately caused the air to throb faintly. It seemed to have triggered something. It immediately made the Great Ming Lun, who was standing in the sea of flowers and on the tree trunk not far away, become vigilant.
Suddenly, the ground made two soft sounds. Yue Qianchou felt his legs tighten. He saw two tree roots that were as thick as an arm bursting out from the ground and wrapping around his legs. The roots quickly extended upwards and pierced towards Yue Qianchou's chest like a sharp spear. Yue Qianchou quickly grabbed it with both of his hands. He looked around and said, "What evildoer …"
Before he could finish his sentence, the ground made a series of popping sounds. Hundreds of tree roots pierced towards him like spears. Yue Qianchou shouted sternly, "You're courting death!" His whole body exploded with a purple light that was condensed from a high temperature. Wherever the purple light flashed, all the plants turned into ashes. The tree roots that had shot out were instantly destroyed. A muffled groan was heard from the forest.
The Great Ming Lun, who was standing on the tree trunk, stared at a big tree in front of him like an eagle. He waved his sleeves and a dozen bright moon-like light discs quickly shot out. With a series of "sou sou" sounds, the dozens of light discs instantly destroyed the ancient tree in front of him. "Audacious human …" The remaining half of the big tree let out a strange cry. With a "hong" sound, it sunk into the ground.
The dozens of light discs immediately chased after the deep pit that had appeared on the ground with a "sou sou" sound. With a series of rumbling sounds, the light discs burst out from the ground and burrowed back into the Great Ming Lun's sleeves. The originally serene atmosphere in the surroundings immediately became treacherous.
"It's a Tree Demon. Its ability to burrow underground is not bad. It runs really fast." The Great Ming Lun snorted and looked around. He then frowned and said, "I'm afraid we've gotten into trouble. It's not good to stay here for long. It's better to leave as soon as possible! It's not that we're afraid of them. It's just that there are many Plant Demons in this ancient forest. It'll be very troublesome to get entangled with them. "
Just as Yue Qianchou nodded his head, he heard a rumbling voice coming from all directions, "You want to leave? Too late! "
The shadows of the trees in all directions danced in the wind. The surrounding ancient trees suddenly grew and covered the sky. In an instant, they sealed off all directions. The Great Ming Lun flashed to Yue Qianchou's side. Both of them floated in the air. Countless tree roots emerged from the ground. In a short while, all the glowing plants on the ground were annihilated in the churning soil. The tree roots on the ground were entangled tightly. The light in the surroundings immediately disappeared. It was pitch black.
The Great Ming Lun looked around and snorted coldly, "A group of things that don't know the immensity of the heaven and earth. If you don't move, don't blame me for killing you all!"
Suddenly, eight balls of green light flashed out from the dense wall of trees. The sealed space was instantly filled with a dazzling green light. Eight green-robed old men walked out from the green light, each of them had an angry look on their faces. One of the old men, who was wearing a green leaf crown, stared at the Great Bright Wheel and said indifferently, "So it's an early stage Immortal Emperor cultivator, no wonder you dare to boast so shamelessly. Outsiders, even Immortal Emperors from the Immortal World wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous here. How are you compared to Immortal Emperor Jin Tai? Our Ancient Forest and your Immortal Palace have an agreement not to invade each other. Why are you killing here? "
