Chapter 133: The Tree Demon in the Snow Realm (Special Chapter 22)
With Su Lian Yue’s strength, she could walk on flat ground in this Snow Realm. She released her vast divine sense, hoping to find a divine object in this Snow Realm that could replace the ninth-tier spiritual beast.
The space in the Snow Realm was much larger than she had imagined. There were many things that she was interested in, but unfortunately, none of them could replace the ninth-tier spiritual beast core.
After going deep for hundreds of miles, the temperature also became lower and lower.
Even Jiang Xianyue could not withstand this level of temperature.
Su Lian Yue could only spare a part of her spiritual energy to help her resist this bone-chilling cold.
The back of the Snow Realm was no longer flying snow. There was already a trace of a glacier in the landform.
Su Lian Yue stopped and released her divine sense again to search, but she still found nothing.
“Could it be… that this is the end?” Su Lian Yue sighed.
“Sister, look… what is that?”
Jiang Xianyue pulled at the corner of Su Lian Yue’s clothes. Under the flying snow, there was actually a lush and green big tree.
A green big tree appearing in this world of white was very abrupt.
Not only that, but this big tree did not emit any aura. From a distance, it was just an ordinary big tree.
But how could an ordinary big tree grow in this godforsaken place? Even the well-informed Su Lian Yue couldn’t help but walk forward.
“Let’s go and take a look!”
Su Lian Yue and Jiang Xianyue quickly came to the side of this tree and began to examine it.
Jiang Xianyue patted the trunk of the big tree. By visual inspection, this tree was at least a thousand years old.
But the two of them looked around for a long time and found nothing.
Su Lian Yue had a premonition that this tree must have its unique use, otherwise it would not have appeared here out of thin air.
“You get out of the way. I’ll try to cut this tree down…”
Su Lian Yue had no patience and directly used a simple and crude method.
“Ah, this… you’re going to cut it down just because you don’t agree…”
“You close your eyes first!” Su Lian Yue turned her head and said.
Jiang Xianyue did as she was told. Su Lian Yue’s aura suddenly changed. She had suppressed her cultivation to the Soul Splitting realm since she had entered the Snow Realm.
Now she tried to raise her aura.
At the Body Integration realm, the tree in front of her did not change at all.
At the Tribulation Crossing realm, the tree in front of her only dropped a few leaves.
The corner of Su Lian Yue’s mouth raised. She already knew what was going on with the old tree in front of her.
Then, she directly soared her aura to the peak of the Mahayana realm.
The ancient tree actually opened its eyes and began to speak in human language, ‘Holy crap… how can there be a peak human expert here?’
“I’ve been hiding for so long, and you can still find me!”
Hearing the noise, Jiang Xianyue suddenly opened her eyes. The ancient tree actually had an expression and a tone. The gaze it looked at Su Lian Yue with was not fear, but fear…
“You are a tree demon, and a tree demon with a lifespan of several thousand years,” Su Lian Yue said faintly.
“This lord… actually knows my identity. May I ask… what is your business here, lord?”
The ancient tree’s tone was trembling, for fear that Su Lian Yue would cut it down in the next second.
Before Su Lian Yue could speak, Jiang Xianyue couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “What a stupid tree demon. In this world of ice and snow, you’re actually standing here, all green.”
“Aren’t you just letting others find you on purpose?”
Ancient Tree: “…”
“Little girl, what do you know? I’ve been standing here for a thousand years. Even if I turned pink, I never thought that anyone would come to this place.”
“Eh? A pink tree… that must be very beautiful, right…”
Although this tree demon was strange, it gave off the feeling that it had no lethality at all.
Jiang Xianyue couldn’t help but go up and touch the tree demon’s trunk.
Ancient Tree: “…”
It suddenly shook its trunk, and a few leaves fell.
Its huge crown actually began to slowly turn from green to pink.
The ancient tree muttered in its heart, This girl is with this lord. I’ll please her first.
“Wow, so beautiful!”
Jiang Xianyue picked up a few pink leaves and planned to collect them.
“It’s not easy for plant-type spiritual beasts to cultivate. It’s rare for you to have a sixth-tier cultivation.”
“The Snow Realm is obviously not suitable for plant-type spiritual beasts. Why are you here?”
Su Lian Yue’s heart also became happy when she saw Jiang Xianyue’s happy look. And this ancient tree had no ill intentions, so she didn’t plan to attack.
It wasn’t that Su Lian Yue had never seen plant-type spiritual beasts, but those plants were all very weak.
At the same level, plant-type were the weakest and could not beat those huge spiritual beasts.
Even so, the beast cores that plant-type spiritual beasts could produce were far higher than those of animal spiritual beasts of the same level.
This also led to the near extinction of high-grade plant-type spiritual beasts. The old tree in front of her was already a living fossil in the Mortal Realm.
The ancient tree hesitated, because it had come to the Snow Realm to escape.
What if Su Lian Yue was the group of people who had been chasing it back then? Wouldn’t it be completely finished?
Su Lian Yue saw its concern. “Feel free to speak. I promise I won’t hurt you.”
“Grandpa Ancient Tree, just say it. Sister will definitely not hurt you.”
Jiang Xianyue touched the ancient tree’s trunk and comforted it.
“Wuwuwu, it’s been a long time since anyone has spoken to me so kindly…”
The ancient tree’s mood changed. It couldn’t cry, but it was constantly shedding leaves.
Su Lian Yue took the fallen leaves from her head. “Hurry up and say it. Don’t be so wishy-washy.”
The ancient tree’s mood immediately stopped. It stretched out a branch and kept extending it. It changed several times in front of Jiang Xianyue and Su Lian Yue, creating a swing.
Jiang Xianyue’s eyes lit up and she sat on it, patting the empty space next to her at Su Lian Yue.
Su Lian Yue hesitated for a moment and then sat side by side with Jiang Xianyue.
Only then did the ancient tree slowly talk about its origin.
“I was originally a tree demon in a forest in the Heaven Wind Nation. I had been cultivating diligently for a thousand years.”
“A thousand years ago, the people of the Vermilion Bird Divine Nation came here. Their purpose seemed to be to get some beast cores.”
“At first, I didn’t pay much attention. There were many people who came to get beast cores, and my clan was naturally good at hiding. They couldn’t find us.”
“The result…”
“What was the result?” Jiang Xianyue asked curiously.
“The result… they actually set a fire! They couldn’t find the spiritual beasts and in a fit of anger, they burned down the forest on my side. There were many plant-type spiritual beasts in the forest. They had no resistance to the Vermilion Bird Flame.”
“In the end, their beast cores were taken on the spot. I was considered to have a high cultivation and ran relatively fast.”
“They were stubborn and kept chasing me until I came to the Glacial Snow Domain, thousands of miles away. Coincidentally, the Snow Realm opened at that time, and I escaped in.”
As for the ancient tree’s answer, Su Lian Yue did not have the slightest doubt.
In her knowledge, the Vermilion Bird Divine Nation had done this kind of thing too many times.
“Grandpa Ancient Tree is so pitiful. It must have been very hard to run to this world of ice and snow…” Jiang Xianyue felt a little sympathy for the tree demon in front of her.
“Isn’t that right? Even so, there are not a few people who have entered the Snow Realm. Fortunately, this secret realm has restrictions on cultivation…”
“Except… this lord. This lord must have heavenly abilities, otherwise it would be impossible to get here.”
The tree demon’s words were not wrong, but Su Lian Yue felt that this tree demon was definitely not just here to escape.
Su Lian Yue: “Tell me, you’ve been in the Snow Realm for so long. You must know it very well…”
The ancient tree hesitated. From its words, Jiang Xianyue actually heard a hint of flattery.
“Hehe, Your Excellency is so powerful. You must know where the treasures are. Where do you need this lowly one to give you information?”
Su Lian Yue raised an eyebrow. “Really? Plant-type spiritual beasts are very good at hiding. Similarly, their ability to hide treasures is also very strong.”
“I don’t believe you would appear here for no reason.”
After Su Lian Yue finished speaking, the ancient tree’s face stiffened.
“Aiyo, this lowly one just randomly chose a place to cool off. Your Excellency is overthinking it…”
“If I burn you, then I won’t be overthinking it.”
After Su Lian Yue finished speaking, her aura began to change drastically, and the ancient tree began to panic.
“Don’t be like this, Your Excellency… I’ll talk… I’ll talk!!!”
Hearing this, Su Lian Yue retracted the spiritual energy in her hand.
The ancient tree hesitated a few times and was still struggling with itself.
Su Lian Yue smiled. She took out a box from her spatial ring, and inside was a very high-grade pill. “How about this? I won’t take advantage of you. Seeing that you’re already at the sixth tier, I have a seventh-grade transformation pill here.”
“If the treasure you mention satisfies me, then this pill is yours!”
“What! A transformation pill!!!”
The ancient tree was so excited that a large number of leaves fell. A few slender branches stretched out to the box like they had noses.
“Holy crap, it’s really a transformation pill!”
The ancient tree’s entire crown began to shake with excitement.
“Grandpa Ancient Tree, you have to calm down!” Jiang Xianyue held the branches on the swing and shouted at it a few times.
Only then did the tree demon come to its senses.
