However, what Hei Mu was truly afraid of was not that Gu You knew the secret of his Spirit Ginseng Tribe. Instead, he was afraid of Gu You's Heavenly Flame.
The Spiritual Ginseng Tribe was a plant and was naturally restrained by Heavenly Flames. Under normal circumstances, even if the other party knew about the Spiritual Ginseng Root, he would not be afraid. However, if the other party had a Heavenly Flame, it would be a different story.
While the ginseng spirit root was regarded as a supreme treasure of the world, its toughness was also enough to amaze the world.
The strength that the ginseng spirit root had obtained after thousands of years of cultivation allowed it to gain a tough body. The toughness of the ginseng spirit root was comparable to some of the extremely rare metals on the continent.
Ordinary weapons were already unable to cause any damage to the Ginseng Spirit Root. Only some truly divine weapons could forcefully cut it apart!
Of course, given Gu You's strength and the Genesis Qi in his body, he could break the ginseng spirit root with one hand!
However, the consequences of doing so were obvious. Hei Mu would die, and Qing Mu would not be able to survive.
Gu You casually tossed the ginseng spirit root in his hand into the void in front of him. With a thought, a cluster of blazing white flames wrapped around the ginseng spirit root.
Immediately, a painful roar sounded from within the raging flames. From the sound of it, it was Hei Mu.
"Ah!!! You … you … lunatic!! If you continue like this, even if I die, Qing Mu will die!! "
The intense pain from his soul made Hei Mu feel even more pain. However, he continued to use Qing Mu to threaten Gu You.
"Tch … you're really noisy. Don't you realize that Qing Mu's spirit is slowly recovering while your Spiritual Strength is gradually weakening …"
The Heavenly Flame cluster was quiet for a couple of seconds after hearing the words from Gu You's mouth. After Hei Mu recovered, he suddenly let out a hysterical roar.
"No! Impossible! How is this possible! No matter how perfect your control of the Bone Chilling Flame is, how is this possible! No! This is impossible! You … You … What exactly are you … "
During Hei Mu's earlier investigation, he was shocked to discover that while the Ginseng Spiritual Root was being refined by the 'Heavenly Flame', only his Spiritual Energy was burned by the 'Heavenly Flame'. Qing Mu … was completely unharmed …
In fact … under the burning of the Heavenly Flame, among the Ginseng Spirit Root, Qing Mu's soul, and Hei Mu's soul, only Hei Mu was being refined by the Heavenly Flame …
Even the visible hairs on the surface of the Ginseng Spirit Root were not burned by the Heavenly Flame at all.
However, in Hei Mu's opinion, this was something that was completely impossible!
Even if the other party was a high-level alchemist whose control over Wondrous Flames had already reached the acme of perfection, Wondrous Flames were Wondrous Flames after all. No matter what, it was still something born of nature and nurtured by Heaven and Earth. It was the most violent energy in the world!
The high temperature contained within a Wondrous Flame was enough to turn a piece of mysterious metal into magma even from a great distance, much less at such a distance.
Even with Gu You suppressing the Wondrous Flame when it was unleashed, the Bone Chilling Flame should be able to burn the hairs on the Ginseng Spirit Root into nothing the moment it appeared!
However, Gu You's control over the Bone Chilling Flame had already merged into one. He was able to control the Bone Chilling Flame as though it was his own arm. The Heavenly Flame was him, and he was … the Heavenly Flame.
Hei Mu's soul immediately shook as though it had been struck by lightning when he thought of this. His mind was completely blank. Two faint words were slowly transmitted from deep within his soul …
Fire Spirit
"Fire … Fire Spirit …"
Hei Mu spat out these two words in a hoarse voice. Immediately, he seemed to have lost all his strength. His entire soul stiffened, and his originally weak aura swiftly disappeared …
Fire Spirit. Just these two words were enough to cause Hei Mu to lose all hope of living.
Although the words from Hei Mu's mouth were nearly undetectable, who was Gu You? Given his current strength, he could even clearly hear the sound of wind blowing through leaves, much less at such a close distance.
"Hmph, that's enough. I won't waste any more time with you. You were once a Genesis Sect powerhouse, but now, you should obediently show yourself for this old man!"
Gu You let out a cold cry. His shriveled hand suddenly covered the Ginseng Spirit Root while Hei Mu's aura was at its weakest.
At the same time, a frightening Spiritual Strength wildly surged out of his palm. It swiftly poured into the Ginseng Spirit Root and forcefully severed the connection between Hei Mu's soul and the Ginseng Spirit Root. Finally, Gu You used his Spiritual Strength to firmly imprison the Ginseng Spirit Root.
It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but when Gu You's Spiritual Strength wrapped around Hei Mu's soul, it also wrapped around Qing Mu's soul, which was in the same body as Hei Mu …
Gu You's overbearing actions caused Qing Mu to let out a miserable roar that hurt even his soul.
Soon after, a glint shot out from Gu You's eyes. His extended hand suddenly clenched. It seemed as though something had been grabbed by his palm at this moment.
He slowly withdrew his shriveled hand. The Bone Chilling Flame that wrapped around the Ginseng Spirit Root also disappeared.
After the Heavenly Flame disappeared, the Ginseng Spirit Root was once again exposed to the empty space.
The small part of the Ginseng Spirit Root that had turned dark because Hei Mu's soul had invaded it had completely disappeared at this moment.
Although there was still some gray fog remaining on the Ginseng Spirit Root, it would quickly resolve itself once Qing Mu recovered.
Gu You slowly opened his clenched hand. At this moment, a cluster of pitch-black soul was continuously trembling in his palm like a black fog.
"Tch …"
Gu You's nose once again emitted a disdainful cold laugh as he looked at the trembling Hei Mu in his hand. Only then did he turn his eyes to Xiao Yan by the side.
Gu You randomly threw Hei Mu's soul into the empty space in front of Xiao Yan. He shrugged his shoulders in a somewhat lazy manner and slowly opened his mouth to speak.
"You should know what to do next, right?"
Xiao Yan looked at the trembling Hei Mu in front of him. He naturally understood the meaning behind Gu You's words. However, when he turned his eyes to Gu You, the latter turned his body and flew into the depths of this realm.
At this moment, the Dou Qi within Hei Mu's body had been sealed. His soul was also seriously injured. He no longer posed any threat to Xiao Yan. Hence, Gu You could naturally leave without worry.
A sincere smile slowly surfaced on the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth as he looked at Gu You's back. After Gu You's figure gradually disappeared, Xiao Yan finally spat out two words from his mouth.
"Thank you very much, Old Gu!"
The ears of Gu You, who was flying through the empty space in the distance, twitched slightly the moment Xiao Yan uttered these words. His mouth let out a soft scoff as the corner of his mouth slowly lifted into a smile.
Gu You lifted his eyes. A glint flickered in his dense-white eyes as he looked into the depths of this realm.
"Allow the old me to see just what the secret of the Ginseng Spirit looks like!"
