Seeing the vague hint of resignation in the king's words, Wu Chen felt anxious.
Perhaps it was because Wang Shang cultivated the path of cause and effect. She did not want to be contaminated by too much cause and effect, and she did not want to force anything.
But during the period of overcoming the tribulation, there are 7749 catastrophes. The king has successfully passed through forty-eight of them, and this is the last one left.
As long as you can successfully overcome this difficulty, you can break through the tribulation period and become a Mahayana monk.
How could he bear to watch the king fall short?
Wu Chen took a deep breath, calmed down, and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, this person is entrusted by me and Guizhi, and came specifically from the Human Race's West Ji City. I have paid a deposit for a hundred high-grade spiritual crystals.
Now that things have come to this, we can't just let him leave like this, right? "
At this moment, Wu Chen actually had some hope in his heart. It would be great if the ancestral sacred tree that Xu Dahai cherished was really as magical as he said.
Guizhi understood and continued to persuade, "We invited this person because we planted the cause. Your Majesty does not have to bear any retribution."
The king sighed leisurely, "That's not what I meant...that's all, let him come."
Wu Chen and Guizhi felt happy and lowered their heads to give Xu Chunniang a look.
Xu Chunniang understood and walked towards the white ancient tree. She said "offended" and then released her spiritual consciousness and landed on the giant white tree.
This giant white tree is so huge that its branches and leaves cover an area of dozens of miles.
However, upon closer inspection, it is easy to see that the branches and leaves on the giant tree are sparse and in decline.
She walked around the giant tree several times, and the more she walked, the more frightened she became. The king's injury was much more serious than she imagined.
Wang Tianhuan also saw some knowledge, "Listening to the meaning of the two tree men just now, could this king understand the law of cause and effect?
If it were really the law of cause and effect, this would be difficult to do. "
The law of cause and effect is a twin law that is not inferior to the law of life and death. If you want to heal this king's injury, you must see through the cause and effect on her body.
But isn’t it a joke for Xu Chunniang, a young cultivator in the Void Refining Stage, to try to see through the cause and effect of a cultivator in the Tribulation Stage?
But when she frowned and said nothing, Wu Chen couldn't help but ask.
"How about it, can your ancestral sacred tree heal the king's injuries?"
The king smiled lowly, and a breeze seemed to rise up, blowing the branches, swaying gently.
"I am most aware of the injuries on my body. Now I am just trying to survive."
Guizhi had tears in her eyes, "But Your Majesty, I don't want you to die..."
"The cycle of cause and effect and retribution are unpleasant, and no one can stay out of it."
The king's tone was as indifferent as ever, "In my early years, I was young and energetic, and violated the ancient precepts of my Shuren tribe, and committed too many murders. Now I am just suffering the consequences."
"But those people the king killed were all people who deserved to be killed!"
Anger flashed in Guizhi's eyes, "Do I, a member of the Shuren clan, deserve to be bullied?"
"No, it's just that the power of heaven cannot be violated. As a tree man, you shouldn't have too many murderous intentions."
The king sighed softly. It was only in recent years that she slowly accepted her fate and understood these truths.
Xu Chunniang couldn't help but agree with this.
There is a difference between yin and yang in the Tao, just like the Shuren clan leads life, the Shura clan leads death, and the Liren clan leads confusion.
If the tree people kill too much, these killings will continue to erode the tree people's hearts and make them far away from their true nature.
On the contrary, if Shura is kind-hearted and soft-hearted, he will not be able to go far in the path of spiritual practice.
Her thoughts moved slightly and she looked towards Wu Chen and Guizhi behind her.
"When I use the sacred tree, no one else can be present to avoid disturbing me. Can you leave for now?"
Guizhi nodded quickly, "This is natural. Don't worry, we will leave now."
As she said that, she gave Wu Chen a look.
Wu Chen didn't have much hope anymore and left with Guizhi with a heavy heart.
After the two left, only Xu Chunniang and the king were left.
The king's spiritual thoughts suddenly became sharp and fell on Xu Chunniang's body like a sharp blade, bringing an invisible powerful sense of oppression and cold murderous intent.
"You changed your identity to deceive my people and deliberately entered our tree tribe. What is your intention?"
The opponent's spiritual thoughts came overwhelmingly, and Xu Chunniang's body swayed and she immediately became breathless.
Thanks to Wang Tianhuan's initiative and sharing some of the pressure, she was able to barely maintain her standing posture.
She struggled to send out a spiritual thought, "Your Majesty, your behavior is too unreasonable, isn't it? I changed my appearance just to avoid the enemies of the human race."
The king was unmoved and his tone was indifferent.
"I teach people to be pure and kind, and I don't like fighting. Isn't it enough to be bullied by your human race? Is this little cultivator trying to get his hands on the fountain of life?"
What fountain of life? Is there some misunderstanding in this?
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly, "I'm not here for the fountain of life!"
"You still dare to quibble?"
The king stared at her coldly, "I saw traces of the law of life in your body."
Xu Chunniang suddenly felt dizzy. It was probably because someone had tried to steal the Fountain of Life before and was discovered by the tree people, so the king would suspect her.
With a thought in her mind, she simply stopped arguing and directly condensed a void law that lingered around her.
Because of this law of emptiness, her figure slowly became ethereal!
The king was slightly shocked, "You actually prepared the Law of the Void in advance to help you escape. You really came prepared!"
Xu Chunniang was helpless, "You really think too much, I have understood this law of virtuality on my own.
In addition to the law of emptiness and the law of life, I also understood the law of reality and the law of death. If you don’t believe it, look at it! "
Xu Chunniang first condensed a law of life and transformed it into a law of death. Then she appeared from the void and broke Xu Dahai's disguise with the law of reality.
The king was really shocked now, "You actually understood the law of two pairs of twins?"
Xu Chunniang accepted it calmly, "Yes, you should believe me now. You're not here for the fountain of life, right?"
The king was silent for a while, "Okay, I believe you. Even if you understand the law of two pairs of twins, with your strength, you will not be able to steal the fountain of life.
But I want to see if you have any ability to heal my wounds. "
Xu Chunniang breathed a sigh of relief. The king was a little suspicious, but he could finally listen to the explanation.
"You must have heard from Wu Chen and Guizhi that I have a sacred tree on my body that can heal all things."
As she spoke, she took out the small branch.
The king released his spiritual consciousness and scanned the small branch, recognizing its origin.
"This is... a branch of the dragon clan's holy tree!"
Seeing the twig, the last trace of doubt in the king's heart finally subsided.
The sacred tree of the Dragon Clan is indeed a sacred object of healing, but unfortunately the branch in her hand is too small to have much effect.
