Chapter 649 - 348: Three-Way Pursuit (Part 2)

"Hmm," Xux Guang nodded slightly, "I inspected the damage to the treasure house; the attacker is indeed only at the Sixth Realm."

"Just the Sixth Realm, and he dares to seize our Heavenly Inquiry Tower sub-branch! Such audacity!" Xux Yuan’s face showed anger.

"There are always some Inner Continent Countries who are oblivious, thinking that reaching the Sixth Realm makes them invincible; Wu Dai was really ineffective..."

"Xux Yuan!" Xux Guang hurriedly interrupted, "Wu Dai lost his life due to carelessness."

Xux Yuan’s eyebrows lifted, then he recalled the rumors within the tower.

"Elder Qian Chuan’s real surname is, indeed, Wu?"

Xux Guang nodded lightly and continued, "The two elders are currently acting as protectors for the Young Tower Master, and most of the experts in the tower have been dispatched; otherwise, it wouldn’t have come down to us."

"This time is an opportunity. If we can capture the culprit alive, the tower will definitely reward us greatly, promoting our positions and enhancing our strength, inevitably."

"The culprit is merely a Sixth Realm; there’s no need for big brother to take action; I can easily annihilate him." Xux Yuan was very confident.

"Don’t be careless, since this person could kill Wu Dai and dared to seize our Heavenly Inquiry Tower sub-branch, there must be some reliance." Xux Guang said steadily, "You and I must still be careful."

"Yes." Xux Yuan heeded Xux Guang’s words.

"There aren’t many clues left at this sub-branch site; to find the culprit, we might only resort to the Tracking Secret Technique." Xux Guang added, "Xux Yuan, you prepare."

"Alright."

Xux Yuan flew up to the collapsed sub-branch, took out a circular treasure with inner and outer rings, and injected Qi Blood.

Buzz!

The disc emitted light, with the inner and outer rings rotating in opposite directions, and in the blink of an eye, the speed reached an extremely astonishing level.

Slight trails of Qi seemed to drift from the sub-branch ruins, being absorbed by the disc.

And beneath the ruins, there was also an object similar to the inner and outer ring disc, but much larger, occupying an entire mountain peak.

This disc, present at every sub-branch of the Heavenly Inquiry Tower, serves as the core of the sub-branch’s array, possessing powerful offensive and defensive capabilities, as well as the ability to capture images.

Soon, the large and small discs resonated, and a phantom suddenly erupted on the small disc in Xux Yuan’s hand.

Within the phantom, a young man clad in black clothes annihilated the Heavenly Inquiry Tower members, demolished the buildings, and stole the treasures...

Xux Guang walked to the side, took out a transparent pearl, and shone it upon the black-clothed youth in the phantom.

Following which, the transparent pearl’s interior swirled with gas clouds, breaking through the pearl’s constraints, transforming into an arrowhead that headed straight eastward.

"Found him!" Xux Guang’s eyes flashed, "This one has fled to the Seven-Star Kingdom to the east."

"Let’s go!"

"..."

...

Seven-Star Kingdom, High Willow Mountain.

This mountain isn’t high, only over three thousand meters, named due to an old willow tree over three thousand years old at its peak.

Three thousand years is a long time, granting a bit of spirituality to the willow tree, a spirituality that delighted the Wind Spirit Clan Tree Spirit.

Thus, two days after Chu Ming ventured deep into the Seven-Star Kingdom, he temporarily settled on this peak.

Under the High Willow Tree, the black-clothed youth sat cross-legged below the tree, while the Wind Spirit Clan Tree Spirit danced around the enormous willow.

"You eat yours."

Recognized as the master by the Wind Spirit Clan Tree, he could clearly feel the clan tree’s joy at discovering a great supplement.

Through the Sword Gourd Spirit, Chu Ming could see the newly born, weak spirituality inside the three-thousand-year-old willow tree, trembling and not daring to leave.

The Wind Spirit Clan Tree Spirit constantly coaxed the willow’s na?ve spirituality as if deceiving a child.

Even though the High Willow’s spirituality was manipulated by the Wind Spirit Ancient Tree Spirit, the willow’s spirituality remained very hidden due to its nature.

Ordinary people, even if they sat under this High Willow Tree, would only find it peculiar, not realizing the presence of its spirituality.

Chu Ming found it interesting, observing for over a half an hour before delving into his own matters, letting the Wind Spirit Ancient Tree Spirit play its part.

He first took out the Mutated Black Flame and two black chain segments; up close, the Mutated Black Flame indeed reacted.

When they got closer, the Qi Rhythm White Light of the Book and Painting Realm was used to balance, without needing purification, and the cold Qi within the black chains was entirely absorbed.

Approximately half an hour later, both black chains transformed into a celestial cyan color, equivalent to possessing fifteen chains comparable to Tier Seven defensive treasures.

Afterward, he took out more than a dozen Black Blade Fragments as nourishment for the Mutated Black Flame.

After the process, the Mutated Black Flame’s intensity rose a level; although not reaching the defense of the Celestial Cyan Chains, it could barely be called a Tier Seven treasure.

As for the Black Blade Fragments, turned to dust after their dark attribute was absorbed by the Mutated Black Flame, they served no purpose.

"The gains are not bad."

The Celestial Cyan Chain Net formed by fifteen celestial cyan chains boasts defense comparable to Tier Seven, and the Mutated Black Flame also evolved to Tier Seven, indeed considerable gains.

With these done, half a day has passed, and Chu Ming looks towards the Wind Spirit Ancient Tree Spirit and the High Willow Tree.

By now, the High Willow Tree is no more, the once over ten meters high tree now just a lifeless shell.

Above, the Wind Spirit Ancient Tree Spirit exuberantly devours the spirituality of the High Willow Tree.

After a moment, the Tree Spirit finished consuming the willow’s spirituality, Chu Ming waved, and the Wind Spirit Ancient Tree Spirit descended into his body.

Upon sensing it, the High Willow spirituality was indeed a grand supplement, enhancing the Wind Spirit Ancient Tree Spirit nearly twofold.

Woosh!

With Spiritual Light flickering, a drop of Azure Ancient Spirit Dew appeared in Chu Ming’s hand.

According to the original production of the Ancient Tree Spirit, it could produce three drops of Azure Ancient Juice each day, and one drop of higher-quality Azure Ancient Spirit Dew every five to ten days.

Now, after consuming the High Willow spirituality, the Tree Spirit can produce one drop of Azure Ancient Spirit Dew and ten drops of Azure Ancient Juice daily.
