Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 535 Jianmu
A world of wonders lies hidden within a sleeve; time stretches endlessly within a pot.

Standing atop a high mountain in the Divine Palace World, one can see the horizon stretching into the distance.

Only by looking up at the sky and feeling the fierce wind so close at hand can one realize that this place is not the real world.

Zhu Ju's eyes gleamed with a faint light as he muttered to himself:
"The Great Dao is incomplete, and it differs from the Small World; it is truly wondrous..."

Small worlds and secret realms are different from the real world, but they are not incomplete in terms of the great principles.

And here.

The Great Dao is flawed, so no living thing can fly, not even birds exist.

God's Mansion?

The enlightenment gained from cultivating Qi and Blood Martial Arts to its peak is similar to, yet different from, the world created by ancient cultivators.

"Lord."

Ming Nianwei's beautiful eyes flickered, and her voice was urgent:

"A divine palace usually has a spirit tablet that guards the palace. If one refines it, one becomes the master of the divine palace."

"If we can find it..."

"Refining the spirit tablet of the town's ancestral temple will take quite a while, won't it?" Zhu Ju asked.
"Putting aside whether we can find it, do you think we have enough time before the experts from the Dao Seeking Sect arrive?"

“…” Ming Nianwei’s expression froze.

"Refining the town-guarding stele and taking control of the divine palace is one thing, but seizing enough benefits before the true powerhouses arrive is the best strategy," Zhu Ju said.

"It seems that this is also the idea of ​​the person who kidnapped Qian Hu and opened the Divine Palace."

"correct!"

"Shouldn't the people outside be able to sense the existence of the Divine Palace?"

“Not bad.” Ming Nianwei snapped out of her reverie and nodded.

"Once the Divine Palace is opened, if no one controls it, it will gradually connect with the outside world, and nodes will appear one after another."

"like……"

“A stone, a door, or even a folding fan can all lead to the divine palace.”

"The longer it goes on, the more such nodes there will be, and those who want to come to the Dao Seeking Sect will be able to enter soon."

While talking.

The four of them had already turned the mountaintop once and were heading downhill along a narrow path.

Zhou Ruxuan helped the still dazed Qian Shiyao up, looking around with curiosity.

God's Mansion?

A top-tier expert?
Is it the bloodline of the Demon Lord Lu Wu?
"Look!"

Her eyes lit up, and she pointed to a spot in the woods:

"There's a temple there!"

There is a temple in the mountains, but there is no Buddha in the temple. Instead, there are dozens of shiny objects on display.

The four people stood in front of the temple gate, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"This is where?"

When Qian Shiyao regained consciousness, she looked completely bewildered.

"A treasure?" Zhou Ruxuan's eyes showed hesitation:

"trap?"

What a coincidence.

Upon entering the divine palace, I saw so many treasures laid out before me, and no one was guarding them.

This situation, on the contrary, makes people feel uneasy.

"Try it again."

With a flick of her long sleeves, Ming Nianwei conjured a stream of water that swept towards a beam of light inside the temple.

"boom……"

The earth trembled slightly.

Zhu Ju's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed drastically:

"not good!"

In his perception, a terrifying aura rose from the ground, covering the sky and the sun in all directions.

The power of this aura far surpassed that of anyone he had encountered in recent years.

Third grade?

Do not!
It's likely that he's of the second rank, or even the first rank!
There's actually a first-rank master in this divine palace?
The mountains trembled, the earth cracked, and thick root systems intertwined and converged in the air.

It eventually transformed into a giant tree trunk, and the wrinkled bark formed a human face several acres in size in front of them.

The man's face contorted with rage, and he roared, "Thief!"

"Thief!"

"steal……"

Its roar was like thunder, causing the rocks within a radius of about a mile to tremble violently, and countless trees to crumble.

Qian Shiyao, who had just regained consciousness, rolled her eyes and fainted again.

Zhou Ruxuan and Ming Nianwei had solemn expressions, and their internal energy and magical power were frantically circulating to resist the attack.

Only Zhu Ju seemed to have discovered something; his face showed no fear, and he even took a step forward.

"The mountains and forests are ownerless, and the abandoned temples are devoid of Buddha statues, so it naturally cannot be considered stealing."

He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards the giant face:

"On the contrary, it was you who deliberately placed the treasure here. Wasn't I trying to use it as bait?"

"..." The giant face blinked its big eyes:

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Your cultivation is profound; I admire you." Zhu Ju withdrew his hand and spoke slowly:
"But you haven't been sentient for very long, and your control over your power is too rough. If we really fight, the outcome is still uncertain."

"Is that so?" The giant face grinned strangely, its eyes flickering slightly, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a hundred miles gathered wildly.

Ming Nianwei and Zhou Ruxuan's expressions changed drastically.

Although the giant face may indeed be a newly born intelligence, the power it can control is terrifying.

One force can defeat ten!

An invisible force descended from the sky, causing the mountains to slowly collapse, and the two women coughed up blood.

Zhu Ju's expression changed, his Supreme Immortal Bone shimmered faintly, and a ruthless look appeared in his eyes.

"Hmm..." The giant face seemed to sense something, its movements suddenly froze, and its oppressive aura stopped in place.

"never mind."

It withdrew its oppressive aura and spoke slowly:
"A soul, a treasure—that's the rule here. Are you willing to trade?"

?

The two women looked completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.

"Soul?"

Zhu Ju stroked his chin:
"You want to use other people's memories to make yourself smarter? That's an interesting method."

"..." The giant face's expression shifted, and it growled in a low voice as if its secret had been exposed:

"You're really annoying."

"Their intelligence is just beginning to emerge, like that of an infant or a mischievous child." Ming Nianwei's beautiful eyes sparkled as she smiled sweetly.
"I see!"

“Very few spirit trees can develop intelligence. Even if they have the opportunity, their intelligence will be scattered. It seems that this one is an intelligence that was born in this world after Lu Wu died.”

With intelligence, one understands what 'self' is.

Once the spirit tree develops self-awareness, it will no longer nurture spirit fruits, but will instead use its nutrients to strengthen itself.

This is not a good deal for the owner of the spirit wood.

"Lord."

She turned her head and asked:
"What kind of spiritual plant is it?"

"The Jianmu tree." Zhu Juyin said with emotion:
"I've only ever seen ancient divine trees, which connect the three realms and serve as a bridge between humans and gods, in ancient texts."

"Jianmu?" Ming Nianwei frowned.

"Does such a spiritual plant exist?"

Ok?
Does Li Chengxia have no memory of Jianmu?

Well……

'I almost forgot, cultivators in this realm know very little about ancient matters, so it's quite normal that they don't know about Jianmu.'

"Girl."

'Jianmu' ignored the two of them, turned its gaze to Zhou Ruxuan, and grinned:
"I have a treasure left to you by your ancestors. Are you willing to make a deal with me?"

talking.

Ripples appeared in the void, and a pure white staff appeared in the field.

Do not!
It wasn't a stick, but a gun barrel missing its tip.

Zhou Ruxuan was taken aback, and subconsciously focused her attention on the spearhead being nurtured in her dantian, gently clenching her hands.

She could feel the gun tip inside her tremble violently the instant the gun barrel appeared.

A feeling of reunion after a long separation welled up in my heart.
