On the banks of the Angry Dragon River, Ding Ning looked in shock at the stele forest formed by the stone steles.
The Red Ant King could not read human words, so he did not know what was engraved on the steles. He only knew that there were many human and beast carvings on them.
Ding Ning could not read all of the words on the steles either, because they were too ancient. They were even more ancient than the Oracle Bone Script, and the patterns were even more complicated than runes.
He could only guess from the inscriptions on the steles that there were ancient or even immemorial Immortal Realm experts buried under these steles. There were humans, demons, demons, and even gods, because their names were the same as Xi's, all of them were single words.
These steles were all made of Immortal Stones. No, they were originally just ordinary steles. However, as they absorbed the Immortal Substance from the Immortal corpses buried beneath them, these steles had now become Immortal Steles.
This was all within his expectations, so it was not surprising. What shocked him the most was that there were countless Dragon Taming Trees planted along the banks of the Raging Dragon River.
Ding Ning was shocked. He had a vague guess that these Dragon Taming Trees were not naturally grown, but had been deliberately planted by someone.
The Dragon Taming Trees had the same function as the forest of steles. They were both used to suppress the Immortal Realm experts buried underground, or to suppress the entire Raging Dragon River.
Just who was it that had the ability to use the corpses of countless Immortal Realm experts and the Dragon Taming Trees to set up an ancient formation that even he could not break to suppress this place?
Ding Ning was full of questions as he swam upstream along the banks of the Raging Dragon River. Countless corpses of Immortal Realm experts were buried beneath the steles. Out of respect for the experts, he did not touch these corpses.
However, he did not spare a single Dragon Taming Tree. He transplanted all of them into the Medicine Spirit Ring.
As he had expected, the Dragon Taming Tree's nutrients were all Immortal Realm experts' corpses. If not for the fact that the essence of the Immortal Realm corpses had mostly dissipated due to the passage of time, he would not have been able to withstand the terrifying pressure alone.
Even so, he was still intimidated by the residual power of the Immortal Corpse Powder that had already mostly decayed to the point that his body cracked and he vomited large mouthfuls of blood.
However, the temptation of the Dragon Taming Wood was too great. He clenched his teeth and spat out blood, but he would not let go of a Dragon Taming Wood. This kind of incomparably precious tree was too rare, not to mention that this was a Dragon Taming Wood that had absorbed some kind of immortal substance and had undergone some kind of mutation.
Suppressing the ages, impervious to all evil!
If he had to use one sentence to describe the effect of the Dragon Taming Wood, Ding Ning could only use these words.
Because he knew very well that there were too many Immortal rank powerhouses buried here. Which of these Immortal rank powerhouses didn't have world-shaking special techniques?
If it weren't for the suppression of the Taming Dragon Tree and the stone steles, which continuously absorbed the immortal essence from their corpses, even if they couldn't come back to life, they could still turn into demons and monsters to wreak havoc in the world.
Ding Ning headed east, following the Furious Dragon River upstream. Countless Langya Realm natives followed him from afar, but no one dared to approach. These creatures probably already knew how terrifying the Dragon Taming Tree was.
Time passed second by second. The sky darkened and brightened, then brightened and darkened again. Ding Ning felt both pain and happiness, vomiting blood as he collected the Dragon Taming Tree.
After an unknown amount of time, Ding Ning finally reached the end of the Furious Dragon River. His expression immediately became extremely ugly.
Because along the way, he had already discovered that this Furious Dragon River was exactly the same as the blood river in his dream in Sunset Continent. He just didn't dare to confirm it.
However, when he arrived here and saw that the source of the river upstream seemed to have been cut into pieces by a blade, he finally confirmed that this Furious Dragon River was exactly the same as the blood river in his dream.
What exactly did this mean? Why did the dream in Langya Realm appear here?
Ding Ning could not understand it no matter how he thought about it. His heart was filled with doubt and confusion, but his instincts told him that this place was definitely related to Pikachu.
Therefore, he didn't hesitate and walked past the end of the river at a faster speed. He wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of secret this so-called Dragon Head Lake contained.
What he didn't know was that after he left, the originally quiet and peaceful Furious Dragon River suddenly became violent. Layers of huge waves rose on the surface of the river, as if a monster was stirring up a storm. The natives who were peeping were so scared that their legs trembled, and they were in a constant state of panic.
The river water became more and more rapid, and the roars also became louder. Suddenly, the river water converged into a giant headless dragon. With a provocative expression, it crazily attacked the stone stele forest on the shore.
All of a sudden, strange spell symbols lit up in the forest of steles. Along with that, a dreadful pressure emerged, forming all kinds of shadows of human beings, beasts, demons, and devils in the air. Those shadows formed a strange light seal in the air that blotted out the entire sky, and pressed heavily towards that headless dragon.
Roar!
The headless dragon was fiercely smashed into the bottom of the river by the strange light seal. The river water boiled, desperately trying to break free from the suppression of the light seal. In the end, it could only let out an angry and unwilling roar, and once again fell into silence.
The wind stopped, and the river gradually calmed down, as if nothing had happened. Only the natives who saw this scene with their own eyes hid in the distance, trembling with fear in their eyes. They didn't dare to approach at all.
Ding Ning knew nothing of all this. At this moment, he spread his wings and floated in the air. Looking at the giant lake below him, his face was full of shock.
The water in this lake was so clear that the bottom could be seen, but there were no fish or plankton. It was like a pool of stagnant water.
But the shape of this lake, from the air, was actually the shape of a dragon head. Even the expression of pain and unwillingness on its face was vivid.
This was not out of his expectations, and it was not worthy of his shock. What shocked him was that there was a strange ancient tree that he had never seen before in the position of the dragon's neck.
The trunk of this ancient tree was blood red, and it was crystal clear like red agate. Under the sunlight, it was like a work of art carved from red crystal.
But the crown of the tree was lush green, and the leaves were uneven and jagged, but it gave people a feeling that it was cast from iron. Even when the wind occasionally blew, it did not move.
Ding Ning's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his eyes were burning. The leaves of this tree were the source of the "sawtooth knife" in the ant princess's hand.
Dragon Blood Sky Mulberry Tree!
A bold guess suddenly appeared in his mind. These ancient trees might have been sky mulberry trees a long time ago, but after being soaked in the dragon's blood, they mutated into this strange dragon blood sky mulberry tree. Although these ancient trees had mutated, from the shape of the plant, it could be vaguely recognized that their original bodies were extremely similar to the legendary sky mulberry trees.
Gulp!
Ding Ning could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. His eyes shone, and his heart thumped wildly. He was even more excited and agitated than when he saw the Dragon-taming Wood.
The sky mulberry tree was also known as the Tree of Enlightenment. It was a divine tree that only existed in legends. It had the patterns of the heavens and the earth, and when the sun rose, it would release a Dao rhythm that could help people comprehend the Dao.
Even an ignorant mosquito, rat, or ant would be able to gain intelligence and speak the human language if it could comprehend the Dao under the sky mulberry tree for a long period of time.
It was said that Fu Sang Country was not originally called Fu Sang, but Glaze Island. The great god of this country, Amaterasu, was originally just an ordinary fisherman, but when he went out to sea to fish, his boat capsized in a storm, and by chance, he ended up in the legendary Japan Island.
There was a sky mulberry tree on Japan Island, but Amaterasu did not know the wonders of this tree. Every day, he would stand before the sky mulberry tree and hold onto its trunk, hoping that he would be discovered by a passing fishing boat and be rescued.
Unexpectedly, when the sun rose, he comprehended the Dao while holding onto the sky mulberry tree. He was immersed in the comprehension of the Dao of Heaven and Earth for 49 days without realizing it.
After that, he shed his mortal body and became a divine body, crossing the void and crossing the sea to return. Unexpectedly, when he returned to his hometown, he found that the world had changed. A whole 49 years had passed, and his parents and family members had already turned into skeletons. Because he was not married when he went out to sea, the inheritance of his family had been completely destroyed.
After the grief, Amaterasu was enlightened, and he swung his sword to cut off his obsession with the mortal world. Feeling that the people in his hometown had taken care of his parents, he taught the local people how to fish, hunt, and farm, and became the ancestor of Glaze Country.
After enlightening the ignorant people, Amaterasu no longer had any worries. He thought that he had repaid the kindness he owed, and only then did he focus on Dao. In the end, he broke through the void and disappeared.
Later generations felt grateful for Amaterasu's kindness, and they changed the name of Glaze Country to Fu Sang Country, which was also the origin of the name Fu Sang Country.
Ding Ning had also heard of this legend, but he thought it was nonsense from ignorant people. But at this moment, seeing the legendary sky mulberry tree with his own eyes, he had no choice but to believe that this kind of divine tree really existed in the world.
He just didn't know if the sky mulberry tree's miraculous effect of helping people to comprehend the Dao still existed after being contaminated by the dragon's blood. But no matter what, the fact that its leaves could be used to refine weapons was enough to make his heart palpitate.
Dig it out, he had to dig it out. This was his only thought at this moment.
Ding Ning rubbed his hands excitedly, retracted his wings, and descended from the sky. Like a pervert who had seen a naked girl, he howled and pounced at the dragon blood sky mulberry tree.
However, just as he was about to reach it, a sudden change occurred. The seemingly harmless Dragon Blood Sky Mulberry Tree suddenly came to life like a hedgehog whose hair had stood on end. The densely packed sawtooth leaves suddenly scattered and floated in the air to form a gigantic sawtooth blade. It slashed down ferociously with an aura that seemed capable of destroying the heavens and the earth. It was domineering, resolute, and tragic.
Ding Ning's scalp suddenly exploded, and his hair stood on end. The air around him became as sticky as glue, making him feel as if he had fallen into a swamp. His speed became extremely slow, and the unprecedented danger of death made his hair stand on end, and his soul flew out of his body.
This blade was exactly the same as the one that had slashed down at the source of the River of Blood in the Setting Sun Continent, but it was far more powerful. It had locked onto his aura, leaving him with nowhere to hide and nowhere to hide. He could only take it head-on.
Protective Qi of Vigor and protective spiritual power surged out crazily, forming layers of hard defensive shields on the surface of his body. But the thick threat of death told him that it was not enough. It was far from enough. He could not take this blade.
He had never thought that he would die here in such a muddle-headed manner. Greed was indeed the greatest sin.
Ding Ning thought self-deprecatingly. Figures that he could not forget flashed through his mind like a projection. His gaze suddenly became unprecedentedly clear, filled with unyielding determination and strength.
Even if he was going to die, he would not just sit and wait for it. His eyes suddenly shot out a terrifying purple light — the Eyes of Nine Underworlds.
He had never seen the essence of the Eye Sorcery so clearly before. Wisps of purple light frantically absorbed the power of the heavens and the earth, weaving an impenetrable net in the air, firmly restraining the terrifying saber radiance. Even though it was crushed in an instant, it had bought him a precious millisecond.
