He initially thought that since there was such a legend about the Blood Dragon Tree, dragon blood was the most important thing to it.
To others, dragons were a distant legend. They could not see them with their own eyes. Even if they could see them on Goddess Attraction Mountain, it was impossible for them to get close to them. It was even more impossible for them to obtain dragon blood. Finding a dragon in the Hundred Thousand Mountains was even more difficult.
Since dragons usually lived high above the clouds, they could not be seen by the naked eye.
However, dragon blood was very easy for him. It was not difficult to convince the purple dragon to give him some blood.
Unfortunately, it was not dragon blood, which would be troublesome.
He had scanned Ning Ze's mind before and did not find the method to cultivate the Blood Dragon Tree. Only one person in history knew the method, and that was the Enlightened Master. Now, the Enlightened Master was right in front of him, but he had a rare item that suppressed the Omniscient Mirror's prying.
"Didn't they say that the Blood Dragon Tree was formed by watering it with dragon blood?" Chu Li smiled. "Could the legend be fake?"
"It's a mix of truth and falsehood." Zheng Xilai smiled and said, "Who knows? It was such a long time ago. It is hard to avoid exaggeration and exaggeration. It would be good if ten percent of it was true. Or even less than ten percent was made up by someone with ulterior motives."
Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror and Heavenly Star Insight spun rapidly in his mind. Ideas emerged one by one and were quickly extinguished.
After a while, he said thoughtfully, "If it's not dragon blood, could it be something else?"
Zheng Xilai's smile froze, then he shook his head. "Well, I really can't say."
Chu Li immediately determined that it was blood.
However, it was not dragon blood. Could it be human blood?
His mind quickly deduced but he could not come up with a conclusion.
Footsteps were heard as Ning Ze strode in. He lifted the curtain and came in with another wooden box, presenting it to Chu Li. "Priest Zhao, please take a look!"
Chu Li put down the previous wooden box and opened the new one.
Immediately, two dry branches that were no different from the previous one appeared in front of him.
Chu Li did not need to circulate his spiritual energy. The Life and Death Scripture could instinctively feel the spiritual energy rushing toward him. It was full of vitality.
"Good, this is a living one!" Chu Li was all smiles as he accepted the wooden box. His inner energy turned into spiritual energy and seeped into it. He sensed the spiritual energy from the Blood Dragon Tree and discovered that it was unusually pure. Moreover, it carried a unique corrosive intent.
Upon sensing his Spiritual Qi, the Blood Dragon Tree's Spiritual Qi was like a hungry wolf that had seen flesh and blood. It pounced over with all its might and devoured the Spiritual Qi in a single gulp before continuing to invade his body, wanting to devour him completely.
Chu Li was stunned. He frowned and pondered.
As soon as his Spiritual Qi was cut off, the corrosive intent immediately retreated. It was clear that the Blood Dragon Tree was an extremely aggressive species, and it was almost impossible for any spiritual herbs to survive in its surroundings. It was the only one that could dominate the area.
He frowned because the life force and Spiritual Qi of this Blood Dragon Tree were like water without a source. Although it was strong and scorching, it was weak. Moreover, after devouring his Spiritual Qi, it could not be converted into life force.
Life force and Spiritual Qi should be one with spiritual herbs, but they were not applicable to the Blood Dragon Tree. Life force was life force, and Spiritual Qi was Spiritual Qi. The Spiritual Qi was strong, but the life force was rapidly diminishing.
Chu Li estimated that he could only last for two days.
Sun Mingyue looked at Chu Li.
Zheng Xilai smiled. "Why, Priest Zhao, is there something wrong? Could it be that it's fake this time? "
He cast a cold gaze at Ning Ze.
Ning Ze hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I dare not mess around this time. It's definitely real!"
"Hmph, I don't think you dare mess around!" Zheng Xilai scoffed and looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li sighed. "If it's real, I'll take my leave!"
Sun Mingyue said, "I'll go with you."
"Bishop, don't be in such a hurry to leave. We still have things to discuss." Zheng Xilai chuckled. "Are you going to go back on your word now that you've obtained the Blood Dragon Tree?"
Sun Mingyue looked at him coldly.
"Haha, I'm just joking." Zheng Xilai smiled and waved his hand. "Don't mind me, Bishop Sun. I know that you're a man of your word. You'll never go back on your word!"
"Alright, I'll stay." Sun Mingyue scoffed.
Zheng Xilai smiled. "Then I'll welcome you with open arms. Please wait for a moment, Bishop. I'll personally send Priest Zhao out of the camp, or he won't be able to leave."
"Please!" Sun Mingyue said.
Zheng Xilai fist saluted and walked out. "Priest Zhao, you must hurry up. Three days will pass in the blink of an eye."
Zhao Dahe, who was Chu Li, calmly said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I won't let them die. I'll definitely find a way to save them."
"Haha …" Zheng Xilai laughed. "That's great!"
Zheng Xilai and Chu Li moved quickly. Ning Ze followed closely behind them.
After sending Chu Li out of the camp, Zheng Xilai watched as his silhouette gradually disappeared. He shook his head. "His Light-body Technique is really good. He'll be able to return to Great Light Peak in less than three days."
"Your Majesty, should we …" Ning Ze raised his hand.
Zheng Xilai shook his head. "No, unless we fall out with the Holy Church of Light. It's not good to do that."
Ning Ze said, "Are we just going to let them have it so easily?"
"What do you think?" Zheng Xilai chuckled. "If Bishop Sun stays, is Zhao Dahe an Enlightened Master? He won't be able to do anything! "
"Your Majesty, should we …" Ning Ze thought. "Inform Black Tortoise Mountain?"
Zheng Xilai was about to shake his head but stopped.
He did not want to cause unnecessary trouble and let more people know about the Blood Dragon Tree. However, he immediately realized that since the Holy Church of Light knew about the Blood Dragon Tree and Black Tortoise Mountain was right in front of them, he would be lying to himself if he said he did not know.
Before this, he thought the Zheng Dynasty Imperial Family kept it a secret. Now, it seemed that it was not as secretive as he thought.
Black Tortoise Mountain was so well-behaved. Even if they knew about it, they would not dare to act recklessly and pretended not to know about it.
If the news got out, Black Tortoise Mountain would probably snatch the Blood Dragon Tree branch at all costs. Since he was the only one who knew about the cultivation method of the Blood Dragon Tree, it would be useless no matter how powerful Black Tortoise Mountain was.
If Black Tortoise Mountain and the Holy Church of Light fought, it would prevent them from joining forces.
As the Emperor, his considerations were not limited to the present. If he killed Chu Li through the military formation, Dong Guangyi would probably become the strongest Enlightened Master. If the Holy Church of Light and Black Tortoise Mountain joined forces, the Zheng Dynasty Imperial Family would have to submit to Black Tortoise Mountain.
However, releasing the news to Black Tortoise Mountain might also offend Sun Mingyue. The Holy Church of Light might fall out and leave the alliance. Even the Li Dynasty would leave.
However, by then, Chu Li would be dead. Even if the Holy Church of Light fell out with him, they would not join forces with the Black Tortoise Mountain. He was not afraid because the Zheng Dynasty wanted to conquer the world and would have to face the Li Dynasty sooner or later.
Moreover, the Zheng Dynasty's power was enough to conquer the Ji Dynasty. If the Li Dynasty joined forces with him, it would be impossible for them to join forces with the Ji Dynasty. There would be no more obstacles in conquering the Ji Dynasty.
The only worry was the Fu Dynasty.
Although Chu Li killed two Emperors in a row and greatly damaged the Fu Dynasty's vitality, they had not done anything so far. This was abnormal. The Fu Dynasty could not just watch as the Zheng Dynasty grew stronger.
He had been carefully probing around and cautiously guarding against the Fu Dynasty's attack.
