"Moyun, do you feel the aura of the Earth God's spirit tablet? This Pearl Mountains is so big, where are we going to find it?" Longyi asked with his thoughts.
"No." Moyun replied briefly.
At this time, several treants came out of the mountain forest, respectfully saluted Longyi, and invited him and Xiao Yi to visit their treant race.
Treants were a race born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They evolved from spiritual trees. The branches were their hands, and the roots were their feet. They could move freely on the soil. They had extraordinary strength and could command the trees to attack and defend. When a treant reached five thousand years old, it was possible for them to shed their tree appearance and transform into a human.
Longyi thought that the treants lived in the Pearl Mountains for generations, so they might know some news about the Earth God. Therefore, he and Xiao Yi followed these treants into the mountain forest.
The Pearl Mountains were mostly primeval forests, and only this kind of primeval forest could give birth to a race like treants. A strong treant placed Longyi and Xiao Yi on his branch, letting them walk while enjoying the scenery of the Pearl Mountains.
The primeval forest had its own style. Many trees were up to 100 meters tall, and their branches and leaves covered the sky. The forest was dark and damp, and an ancient tree needed more than ten people to wrap their arms around it. The roots protruding from the ground formed deep ridges, in which poisonous insects, snakes, and ants hid. It was dangerous everywhere.
According to these treants, there were many vicious beasts hidden in the depths of the Pearl Mountains, among which, there was no lack of S-rank magical beasts. If it was before, Longyi might be very excited. But now, his level was different. Magical beasts were no longer a challenge for him. The only thing he was worried about was that the Heavenly Demon King might suddenly bring millions of demon soldiers to the border one day, so he had to gather all seven spirit tablets before that.
Half a day later, these treants brought them to a freshwater lake in the forest. Usually, the treants were scattered to guard a part of the mountain forest. Only when the patriarch gave the order would they gather at the lakeside.
"This lake is a bit strange." Moyun suddenly said in Longyi's sea of consciousness.
Hearing this, Longyi released a wisp of spiritual power from the space between his eyebrows into the center of the lake. Just as he was about to go deeper, he felt a huge wave of spiritual energy rush over, and actually dispersed his mental energy in an instant.
"What a powerful spiritual energy! There must be something heaven-defying at the bottom of this lake," said Longyi with a chuckle. He wanted to immediately go down and check it out.
"Such dense Spiritual Qi, could it be …" Moyun murmured.
"Could it be what?" Longyi asked curiously.
"It's nothing. Look. The patriarch of the Treant Clan is here. "Moyun casually changed the topic.
The chief of the Treant Tribe was nearly eight thousand years old. He had already shed his tree form and turned into a human form. His head was green, and the green beard on his chin hung down to the ground. His face was deeply wrinkled, and he held a staff shaped like a tree root in his hand.
"Respected Thunder God. The leader of the Treant Tribe, Mu Huai, welcomes you on behalf of all the creatures in the Pearl Mountain Range. " The leader of the Treant Tribe, Mu Huai, bowed respectfully. At this moment, a few young Treants pierced their roots into the soil, and their branches grew wildly. Flowers bloomed on their joints, and they suddenly formed a cool and elegant tree corridor. There were protruding roots used as chairs and tables, and the tables were filled with fruits from the Pearl Mountain Range. It was very magical.
"Patriarch Mu Huai, you're welcome. Today, I … I'm just passing by, and I'm looking for something." Longyi chuckled and sat down. He picked up a fruit and threw it into his mouth.
After chewing two mouthfuls, Longyi stopped with a strange expression. The flesh of the bright red fruit was fresh and juicy, and it was extremely delicious. What surprised him even more was that there was an abundance of spiritual energy in the fruit, and it was very similar to the spiritual energy surging in the center of the lake.
"What is it that Thunder God is looking for? The Treant Tribe will not refuse if it can help," asked Mu Huai, but he did not notice Longyi's expression.
Longyi put away his surprised expression and said, "I'm looking for the Earth God's spirit tablet that was lost in the Blue Moon Continent."
"Earth God's spirit tablet? I, Mu Huai, have never heard of such a rumor in the Blue Moon Continent, "said Mu Huai after thinking for a while.
"Then, does Patriarch Mu Huai know where the spiritual energy in the Blue Moon Continent is? The Earth God's spirit tablet must have strange flowers and fruits growing there. When I ate the fruit just now, I discovered that it contained dense spiritual energy. I wonder where I plucked it?" Asked Longyi with a glint in his eyes. He was thinking about the secret of the lake's spiritual energy. He was sure that the Earth God's spirit tablet was not here. If it was here, Moyun would have noticed it a long time ago.
Mu Huai was stunned, and he looked at the lake. The surroundings of the lake were the sacred land of the Treant Tribe, and the lake water was called holy water by them. If the Treant Tribe was injured, they could quickly recover as long as they took root by the lake and absorbed the lake water as nourishment. Furthermore, the Treant Tribe was pure and kind. Usually, if there were any injured demonic beasts in the Pearl Mountain Range, they would feed them the lake water. These injured demonic beasts would be alive and kicking in less than two days after drinking the lake water. Could it be that the lake water had such an effect because of the Earth God's spirit tablet?
Mu Huai led Longyi and Xiao Yi to the other side of the lake. There were a few fruit trees by the lake, and the bright red fruits on them were the ones Longyi ate.
"Patriarch Mu Huai, can you let me explore the lake?" asked Longyi.
Mu Huai gave it some thought and nodded in agreement. The Thunder God and the Earth God were both the seven Major Gods. If the Earth God's spirit tablet was really lost in this lake, then the Thunder God would have no reason to seek it back.
Longyi gave Xiao Yi a look, and the two of them dove into the lake together.
The lake water was very clear, but strangely, there was not a single fish to be seen. There were no other creatures in the water.
Xiao Yi snuggled up to Longyi. They were surrounded by a circular energy shield, and it looked like a bubble. She looked at the layer upon layer of lake water which was suffused with a halo, and imagined herself and Long Yi floating in it. She had an inexplicable romantic feeling. This was the difference between women and men. They were very emotional, and very easy to give birth to all kinds of beautiful fantasies from certain scenes and words.
Longyi, on the other hand, swam toward the source of the spiritual energy in the center of the lake under Moyun's guidance. The spiritual energy was very strange. If you tried to attack it or dissect it, it would defend itself and attack you. If the energy you released was harmless, it would absorb and assimilate the energy.
The lake was much deeper than they had imagined. They couldn't see the bottom of the lake after diving for thousands of meters. It was like the deep sea, but the difference was that they couldn't feel the water pressure in the lake. It seemed that the water pressure in the lake was the same as one meter at a time.
When Longyi and Xiao Yi went ten thousand meters down, they saw the bottom of the lake that was covered with pebbles of various colors. There were hundreds of small springs at the bottom of the lake that were spewing pure spring water. The spring water contained extremely rich spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy in the lake water must have come from these springs.
"Moyun, I think this is the source. The spiritual energy in the lake comes from these spiritual springs," said Longyi with his thoughts.
"Dig." Moyun sent these two words to him indifferently.
"Dig?" Longyi rolled his eyes. The underground spring veins were crisscrossed. He would have to dig for a long time before he could find the source of this spring vein. However, after repeatedly asking, Moyun didn't move. Moreover, her tone didn't seem to be right.
Let's dig. Longyi condensed his palm into a blade and slashed toward the spring in the center. The spiritual energy in the spring was automatically protected when it was attacked. His palm strike only dug out a little bit of sand.
Longyi tried his best to dig for a long time, but he only managed to dig out a one-meter deep pit. If he didn't find any heaven-defying treasures down there, it would be a big loss. Long Yi muttered.
Xiao Yi was standing beside Longyi. She had already noticed that the spiritual energy in the lake was unusual. At this time, looking at Longyi who was working hard to dig the spiritual spring, her almost transparent pupils rotated strangely, and her silver hair fluttered chaotically. A vague picture appeared in front of her. It was a place filled with spiritual mist. She could vaguely see the tall and straight back of Longyi standing there, and in front of Longyi, there was a huge vague object. When she wanted to see it more clearly, her mind suddenly became chaotic and she spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"Xiao Yi, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Xiao Yi vomiting blood for no reason, Longyi couldn't help but be shocked.
"Young Master, don't go, don't …" Xiao Yi's face was pale. She grabbed Longyi's big hand in panic, and before she finished speaking, she fainted.
"Moyun, what the hell is going on?" Longyi roared in the sea of consciousness.
"She tried to help you predict, but was counterattacked by the spiritual energy. She'll be fine after resting for a while. Send her up first," said Moyun.
A trace of gloom flashed in Longyi's eyes. Where did Xiao Yi tell him not to go? What did she see to make her so flustered? And why did Moyun suddenly feel a little strange?
With all kinds of thoughts in his mind, Longyi sent Xiao Yi to the lake surface. After instructing Patriarch Mu Huai to take care of her, he dived down again and dug deeper and deeper under the confrontation of the spiritual energy.
"Are you doubting me?" When Longyi dug more than ten meters deep, Moyun's voice sounded faintly.
"I …" "You don't have to deny it."
"I didn't deny it. Don't you think your behavior and words have suddenly become very strange? There seems to be something down there that you urgently want to obtain or see, "said Longyi faintly, but his hands didn't stop.
Moyun was silent for a while and said, "If you doubt it, you don't have to dig."
"The problem is that I'm also very curious about what exactly is down there that can make the God of Darkness lose his composure." Longyi's words were sarcastic. He was obviously dissatisfied with Moyun.
"You're blaming me for not telling you, right? You'll naturally understand after you see it." Moyun sighed softly.
Longyi slapped his palm with hatred. Suddenly, he felt a tremor at the bottom of the lake. The deep pit collapsed, and a spiritual spring with a diameter of several meters spurted out in an instant, engulfing him in it.
After the spiritual spring spurted out, it was pulled into the ground by a huge force. Longyi was wrapped in the spiritual spring water and sank into the ground. The deep pit was filled up in the blink of an eye, leaving only a trickle of water gushing out of the mouth of the spring.
With a bang, Longyi was dizzy from the fall. He shook his head and got up, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. This should be an underground cave. An underground stream was gurgling on the side, and the entire space was surrounded by a dense spiritual mist, hazy like a dream.
