Lu Xuan has always maintained an extremely cautious habit.
Once you meet a strange monk, give him some spiritual fruit and spirit brew to taste first, so that he will feel good about you and at the same time, you can find out whether there are any traces of evil spirits.
Unexpectedly, this good habit came in handy today.
His expression was as usual, but his mind was focused on that thought in the sea of consciousness.
[Alienation monk, in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, his mind has been invaded by foreign spirits for many years, and gradually transformed into the body of a demon spirit, which can extend his life for thousands of years.]
[At the same time, he is naturally close to the spiritual plant and can capture and store endless vitality, hiding it in his body and making it difficult to detect. 】
"Alienation monk..."
"Although it is not contaminated by demons and evil spirits, in the final analysis, it is no longer a human race."
Lu Xuan was secretly on guard.
The monk who was attacked was not the Jiang Hengbai who had a somewhat bad attitude, but the relatively silent Mu Yuanshan.
He had no sufficient reason to prove his discovery, so he had to pretend that the thought had never occurred and continued to drink and talk with a few people.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Late at night, under the diseased spiritual tree.
An imperceptible green figure silently entered the restriction. It seemed that it knew the restriction well and did not cause any abnormal reaction.
The ghostly green figure turned into a streak of green light, which was directly attached to the normal part of the ten thousand year spirit tree. Threads of ghostly green spiritual light separated from the spirit tree and penetrated into the figure.
After absorbing enough vitality, the green figure swayed slightly, revealing Mu Yuanshan's blurred face.
"When you absorb a little more, you can escape from the Divine Wood Cave."
"If you prolong your life for at least a thousand years, you might be able to break through to the realm of becoming a god and attain the great truth."
Mu Yuanshan sighed silently.
He guarded the cave and cultivated the Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Tree for hundreds of years. Due to his limited talent and short lifespan, he originally planned to grow old slowly until he merged into the Shenmu Cave and made his final contribution to the Shenmu Sect.
But there is no limit to the path of man. He was cultivating a thousand-year-old spiritual tree at one time, and accidentally discovered a strange technique in the spiritual tree, which could plunder, store, and hide the vitality of the spiritual tree, thus extending his cultivation path for thousands of years.
For him, who has very little life left, this magical technique is like a ray of light in the darkness, rekindling his dead heart of seeking the truth.
Since then, he has painstakingly studied the formations and restrictions, and has a profound understanding of the restrictions around the Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Tree and even outside the Divine Wood Cave. When the time is right, he will start to seize the vitality of the Spiritual Tree.
Until today, it is finally coming to an end.
"From now on, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly."
Thinking of this, he felt happy in his heart.
"I didn't expect, I really didn't expect, that it was really you, Junior Brother Mu, who was causing trouble."
Just as he was about to leave the confinement, a figure walked out of the darkness. The veins on the back of his hand holding the green crutches showed that he was extremely angry inside.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Jiangyuan and Jiang Hengbai also walked out slowly, surrounding the green figure with their horns raised.
Both of them had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Lu Xuan stood in the darkness and looked at the Shenmu Sect people quietly.
Now that the source of the problem has been found, Shenmu Sect still has to clean up the door himself. As an outsider, he can do his best by providing such important information.
After he learned that Mu Yuanshan had a problem, he thought about it carefully and finally decided to tell Lin Jiangyuan.
Lin Jiangyuan was naturally in disbelief. After promising not to leak Lu Xuan, he discussed with Zhang Jingxian and decided to ambush inside the restricted area to see if Mu Yuanshan's unusual behavior could be discovered.
After watching for several days, I finally saw Mu Yuanshan seize the vitality of the ten thousand year spiritual tree with my own eyes.
"Junior Brother Mu, the sect has treated you well over the years, hasn't it? Why did you do such a thing that harms the interests of the sect?"
Zhang Jingxian asked with a disappointed look on his face.
"It's not thin, but that's all!"
"Why did I guard the cave for hundreds of years for my sect, and in the end I could only wait for death?"
"Why can these ten thousand-year-old spiritual trees have endless lifespans?"
Mu Yuanshan's expression was ferocious, and there was endless reluctance in his tone.
"So you want to replenish the vitality of the ten thousand year spiritual tree?"
"The sect has trained you to the realm of Nascent Soul, and this is how you repay the sect?"
Zhang Jingxian asked in a cold voice, the magic power in his body rushing like an abyss and an ocean.
"Just go ahead and capture me. I can leave your whole body intact."
The green crutch in his hand instantly came to life and turned into a giant green dragon over twenty feet, flying in the air.
"The Nascent Soul War is a rare event."
Lu Xuan threw a few silver lotus seeds into his mouth and looked at the people in the distance with interest.
"The late Nascent Soul cultivation is suppressed. As the main force for arresting, the two early Nascent Souls are assisting, and I, an outsider, prevents escape, and they are in the Shenmu Cave."
"This seeker seems to be unable to fly even if he has no wings."
"Huh? Something seems wrong."
A seven-color fan quietly appeared in his hand, and he watched the developments on the field closely.
Under such a situation, Mu Yuanshan seemed to be unusually calm.
"Not willing to give in!"
"I'm really unwilling!"
"It took a lot of effort to give birth to spirituality, but I have been trapped in this ghost place for tens of thousands of years. I am always worried about being discovered by you, and I have to watch my body being hurt by you again and again."
"Now, I find a body like this, absorb a little bit of the same kind of vitality, and have to be dictated by you again!"
"I just want to be free again. Is it so difficult?"
A dull old voice came from Mu Yuanshan's body.
His flesh, flesh, and bones continued to disintegrate, and his entire body instantly turned into a ball of ghostly green light.
At the same time, in the Shenmu Cave, the branches and leaves of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit tree as high as the sky extended rapidly, covering the sky and the sun, and in the blink of an eye, a green world was formed, covering several people.
"In that case, then become a sacrifice for me to break out of this hellish place."
A hundred-foot-tall green figure emerged from Mu Yuanshan's body. With a gentle press of his green palm, the entire world underwent an astonishing change. The vitality in Lu Xuan and the others' bodies quickly passed away. Countless huge weapons were wrapped in green light.
It struck everyone like lightning.
"not good!"
"It turns out that a demon spirit was born inside a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual tree!"
Lu Xuan's thoughts started to change rapidly.
He understood the whole thing instantly.
The ten-thousand-year-old spiritual tree planted in the Shenmu Cave accidentally produced a demon spirit. Not wanting to be noticed by the Shenmu Sect monks, it has been lurking in the cave.
After he succeeded in his practice, he bewitched Mu Yuanshan, who had a short lifespan, and assimilated him into the body of a demon spirit. He mastered various restrictions in the cave and used it to seize the vitality of the remaining spiritual trees and accumulate strength.
"That's right. Mu Yuanshan's mind was invaded. It may be that the inner demons are passively breeding in his body, or it may be actively invaded by other living beings."
"The demon spirit's body is a ten-thousand-year-old spirit tree. It has been cultivating in hiding for countless years. It also occupies the advantage of the home field. If we join forces, we may not be our opponents."
Lu Xuan made a decision instantly, and took out a lifelike and exquisite doll from the storage bag. His mind sank into it, and the soft sword around the doll's waist straightened instantly!
