"Hmph! I'm feeling depressed at the moment, so good to come!" Zhou Chen snorted coldly, with no fear on his face.
The vertical sword rose into the air, avoiding the tree roots that were stabbing him.
He pinched the spell in his hand: "The fireball talisman tickles your itch, right? Then come and try the fireball converted by the power of Tai Chi!"
Zhou Chen flew high in the sky and used his Tai Chi power to cast a basic spell, the fireball spell.
Zhou Chen had seen the flame temperature of Tai Chi power before, it was far more powerful than the flame of the Fire Ball Talisman.
Zhou Chen was also looking forward to whether he could cause harm to the demonic tree.
An orange-red fireball condensed and formed, swooping down towards the demon tree below.
The demon tree sensed the power of this fireball and stretched out a large number of roots to block it.
"puff!"
The fireball exploded on a tree root, but the splashing flame did not go out. It seemed to be contagious, causing other surrounding tree roots to burn with it.
"Shasha~"
The crown of the demon tree swayed in the absence of wind, as if it was wailing in pain.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Chen's eyes were filled with pride.
The demon tree was very decisive, stretching out other tree roots and cutting off the burning tree roots directly.
What Zhou Chen didn't expect was that the earth trembled violently and a large number of tree roots appeared from the ground.
Like an animal's feet, it ran towards the outside of the village.
Zhou Chen saw a skinny man on one of the tree roots.
The man was wearing completely different clothes from the villagers, and his cultivation fluctuated. He was actually a foundation-building monk!
However, the man's aura was extremely weak, and the whole person looked like a long-dead mummy.
The tree root on his body was not inserted into him, but grew out of him.
No wonder this demonic tree possesses the strength of the foundation-building stage. It turned out that the vessel and nutrients that cultivated it were actually a foundation-building monk!
This further strengthened Zhou Chen's determination to kill this demon tree.
In order to prevent other powerful immortal cultivators from arriving, we must fight quickly.
Monster plants are different from monster beasts. Their souls and bodies are one, and they rely more on instinct to fight.
Therefore, the Soul-Eating Insect's Soul Sting has little effect on the Demonic Tree.
Zhou Chen used his soul to control the sword and rushed towards the demon tree.
The demon tree's escape speed is very fast, but compared to the immortal cultivator flying with the sword, it is still not impressive enough.
The tree roots stabbed Zhou Chen to block Zhou Chen's attack.
Zhou Chen stepped on the flying sword he refined under his feet, and his soul controlled the flying sword given by Lan Kun to cut off the tree roots that blocked the attack.
At the same time, he also pinched the magic formula in his hand to release the fireball technique.
"It's a pity that I haven't had time to learn the foundation-building spells yet." Zhou Chen was a little annoyed.
There are many powerful magical powers in the inheritance of ancient Qi alchemists, but Zhou Chen has only mastered the fireball technique so far.
There is no way, after all, the training time is too short.
Like other foundation-building monks on earth, none of them have been practicing for more than a hundred years.
Moreover, Zhou Chen's current cultivation level is only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and he can only be regarded as half a foundation-building monk.
If Zhou Chen knew how to use a more powerful spell at random, he could kill the enemy across levels with just one move!
Fortunately, the fireball technique transformed by the power of Tai Chi is so powerful that it has caused the trunk and crown of the demon tree to burn with a large amount of flames.
After a while, Zhou Chen controlled the flying sword and cut off the tree root growing out of the foundation-building monk, freeing him from the control of the demon tree and stopped pursuing him.
At this time, the demon tree's whole body was covered in flames, which could not be extinguished.
The result of waiting for it is to become burnt charcoal.
Zhou Chen took the foundation-building monk and left in a different direction without returning to the village.
You can tell at a glance that this village is a place where a certain cultivating force specializes in cultivating elixirs for the human body.
If he destroyed this place, the cultivating force would definitely send cultivators to check on the situation.
Before leaving, Zhou Chen put all the elixirs in the village into the storage ring.
Although I feel uncomfortable with it, I can sell it to others.
He used Earth Escape from underground and after two or three hours of escape, Zhou Chen found a deserted forest and dug a cave deep underground to sit cross-legged.
Zhou Chen still had the rescued foundation-building monk in his hand.
But this foundation-building monk obviously won't live long.
Zhou Chen made a cut on him with a flying sword, but no blood flowed out, which shows his state at this time.
The foundation-building monk kept his eyes open, but he seemed extremely numb to all this.
Zhou Chen asked in the language of ancient times: "What is your name?"
The foundation-building monk did not answer.
Not long after, he spoke almost silent words: "This world needs to be changed... kill me... set me free... kill me... kill me..."
Zhou Chen nodded and controlled the flying sword to pierce his eyebrows.
Then he sent out the Soul-Eating Mother Insect to devour his soul and read his memory.
"Jiang Ming..." This is the name of this foundation-building monk.
At the same time, he is also a member of the previous village.
When he was born, because he was found to have a talent for cultivating immortals, he was not given any elixir like other villagers.
He was taken to a sect called Qingxuan Sect for training. He was very talented and had good opportunities, and he quickly succeeded in building a foundation.
However, due to repeated violations of the sect's rules, the human elixir cultivated by the sect was destroyed.
In the end, his cultivation was sealed and he was also planted with elixir.
By reading the memory, Zhou Chen knew that this monk named Jiang Ming, although he grew up in a sect like Qingxuanmen, was kind-hearted in nature and wanted to free the mortals who were planted with spiritual medicine.
Not only that, his ultimate ideal is to change the current general trend of Shennong's spiritual world.
However, his strength was limited, so he got involved himself.
Zhou Chen was a little sad and buried Jiang Ming's body in the woods above the cave.
He returned to the cave deep underground and arranged a formation to hide his traces.
In Jiang Ming's memory, Zhou Chen learned that in the Qingxuan Sect where he was, there was an elder who was in the late stage of the Golden Core. The sect master and the great elder were both in the early stage of the Golden Core.
As for the disciples in the foundation building stage, the number is at least thirty.
However, a hundred years have passed since Jiang Ming was planted with the elixir. It is unknown what the overall strength of Qingxuan Sect is now.
In short, Zhou Chen definitely can't afford to offend him, so he can only hide.
In Jiang Ming's memory, Zhou Chen learned that the village where the whole village was planted with elixirs was the epitome of the mortal world of Shennong today.
Qingxuanzong still controls hundreds of villages like the one just now.
This is no wonder why the aura of Shennong's spiritual world is only two or three times that of the earth.
But the number of cultivators far exceeds that of the earth.
Trading a mortal's life for a path to immortality will result in destruction!
After all, mortals are the foundation of a human world.
Once mortals die, even if the cultivators have thousands of years of life, they will eventually perish completely in thousands of years!
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Take the time to build the foundation first. It's useless just to reach the foundation building stage with the strength of your soul. Only when your cultivation level reaches the foundation building stage can you survive in this dangerous world."
Zhou Chen was a little curious about how those cultivators who had used various means to fly into the sky and enter the vortex were doing.
If it falls into the hands of a sect like Qingxuan Sect, it will definitely become a human elixir.
"Tsk, tsk, this world is really dirty and ugly, I really want to destroy it." Zhou Chen murmured.
