Perfection: I have a Tree of Ten Thousand Paths
Chapter 61 Fishing in Troubled Waters
Chapter 61 Fishing in Troubled Waters
"roar...
'
As soon as Qi Shi'an arrived at the central area of Baiduan Mountain, he heard a loud roar from afar, which shook the earth and mountains, and even the huge divine bird in the sky retreated.
"Boom!"
The earth trembled, and a dragon appeared, a large chunk of flesh torn from its back, dripping with blood. It stirred up a gust of wind and fled at top speed.
Behind it was a black roar, enormous and incredibly powerful, with two dark eyes like an abyss, chilling to the bone.
Seeing its prey escape, the black roarer flew into a rage and turned its attention to the other geniuses.
It opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a dazzling light that exploded all around, instantly causing limbs to fly everywhere and blood to flow like a river.
Black Roar swallowed all twenty-odd geniuses in one gulp, like a tyrannical and bloodthirsty Asura King.
In the ancient times, when the gods descended, they were invincible beings. All spirits would avoid them, and killing gods was not a rare occurrence.
Even the descendants of the True Roar, whose bloodlines are not pure, are still extremely terrifying. Relying on their mixed bloodline inheritance, they can still cultivate to a very high level and suppress enemies from all directions.
The black beast before us was just like that, wreaking havoc all the way, devouring hundreds of powerful individuals, completely crushing them and finding it difficult to encounter any opponents.
If the dragon hadn't used a supreme treasure, transforming into a ball of divine light that enveloped it and propelled it at incredible speed, it would have long since become food for the Black Roar.
"It's truly domineering. If we were at the same level, I would definitely try Black Roar's flavor."
A glint of light flashed in Qi Shi'an's eyes, and he smacked his lips.
Then, he abandoned his desire to devour Black Howl, realizing he was no match for it. His most important task at the moment was to reach the rendezvous point and join the Nine-Headed Lion and the others.
Qi Shi'an fled for three whole days, sneaking around this area. Once he spotted the Beast King, he immediately fled without hesitation.
"Where are they? Weren't we supposed to meet at the same place?"
Qi Shi'an was getting impatient. He had been circling around the rendezvous point for two days, but apart from encountering ferocious beasts and birds of prey that were fleeing, he hadn't seen a single person.
Suddenly, as he disappeared into a secluded forest, a familiar voice entered his mind.
"Xiao An, over here!"
Upon hearing the voice transmission, Qi Shi'an quickly looked around but couldn't find the source of the sound.
When he looked up, he was surprised to find that Shi Hao, the big red bird, the nine-headed lion and their group had appeared out of thin air and were slowly walking out of the void.
"What kind of treasure is this? It actually bypassed my spiritual senses!" Qi Shi'an was quite surprised.
With his current strength, even ordinary Noble Phantasms cannot achieve this, unless they are extremely special and mysterious.
"This is my junior sister's treasure. It can be hidden between heaven and earth. Isn't that amazing?"
Shi Hao said proudly, as if this treasure was his own.
This is the hide of an ancient Void Beast, possessing extraordinary supernatural powers. If it is refined into a treasure, one can hide their form between heaven and earth, making them undetectable to anyone.
Qi Shi'an jumped onto the huge animal skin and found several white jade tables set out, with roasted meat and berries on them.
Seeing this, he was speechless. These people really knew how to enjoy life. They were all infected by Shi Hao, and they were living better and better lives than the other one!
Shi Hao, eating a piece of roasted lamb leg, mumbled, "Xiao An, are you alright?"
"Thank you for asking this now." Qi Shi'an rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless.
"But after I kept running, I discovered a treasure trove!"
Qi Shi'an briefly recounted his unexpected discovery during his escape.
"Monkey wine?!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's eyes lit up. He was quite curious about the habitat of the monkeys that Xiao An had mentioned, and even more interested in the monkey wine.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get going!" Shi Hao said happily.
Animal hides floated, carrying them forward through the void, taking advantage of the beast kings' battles to approach that pure land, but they dared not get too close, keeping a great distance between them.
It was only because the monkey leader was too powerful, with an alarmingly sharp sense of perception, that several pure-blooded creatures tried to conceal their auras using ancient treasures bestowed upon them by their tribes, but it discovered them all and almost killed them.
If it weren't for the treasures bestowed upon them by their elders, all the pure-blooded creatures would probably have died here, none of them would have survived.
They gazed at that pristine land from a great distance, where wisps of spiritual energy rose like smoke, and in the center lay a small, clear, and azure lake, dazzlingly beautiful.
That small lake is a liquid formed from spiritual energy!
After learning the details of this small lake, everyone was shocked. Such spiritual land is extremely rare in the world. The spiritual energy flows like water on the ground and gathers into a small lake.
The surrounding area is dotted with massive rocks, lush trees, and abundant medicinal herbs, resembling a mythical world, radiant and dazzling.
"Do you see those small trees by the Spirit Lake?"
Strange runes appeared in Qi Shi'an's eyes as he gazed sharply toward the edge of the spirit lake.
Everyone's attention turned to the lake, and there were indeed four luminous precious trees beside it. They were only about the thickness of a wrist and a little over half a person tall. Both their branches and leaves were silver, as if they were burning silver flames.
Each tree has two or three silver peaches, tinged with a pale gold, making them look exceptionally dazzling, as if they were carved from the finest divine jade.
"I really want to eat this!" Shi Hao wiped his drool.
"That's the legendary immortal peach tree!"
Qi Shi'an recognized the four precious trees and slowly spoke.
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened, for they all knew what a treasure the Immortal Peach Tree Qi Shi'an spoke of was.
"Tch, while this immortal peach tree may be rare, I doubt it can be considered a sacred medicine!"
The fact that the God-Slaying Stone spoke at this moment clearly indicated that it knew something.
"Why?" the nine-headed lion asked, puzzled.
Then the God Stone explained the situation to everyone, and they finally understood the reason.
The Immortal Peach Tree was originally an ancient sacred medicine in the Hundred Herbs Garden. Later, in order to transform into human form, it searched for the necessary treasures all over the Hundred Broken Mountains, but ultimately failed.
Unfortunately, the Immortal Peach Tree was ambitious and used too much of the essence of heaven and earth in order to build a divine foundation for itself, ultimately burning itself to death.
Only four seeds remained, and the essence and imprint of a lifetime were sealed inside them. They eventually took root and sprouted again, but it was too difficult for them to transform into a sacred medicine.
The four immortal peach trees will eventually turn to ashes, fulfilling the wish of one tree and elevating it to a new sacred medicine.
"It's not impossible to turn all four plants into sacred medicine," Qi Shi'an said calmly.
The failure of the immortal peach tree to transform into a sacred medicine was simply due to the suppression of the special laws of this place, and the fact that it itself was also constrained.
If the four immortal peach trees are taken out of the outside world together and enter the upper realm through a special formation, the four immortal peach trees will surely become sacred medicines.
Upon hearing that all four peerless medicinal herbs had the potential to become sacred medicines, everyone's eyes lit up.
"How is this possible!" exclaimed the God-Slaying Stone.
"Nothing is impossible. Although it's difficult to achieve, it's not necessarily impossible."
Qi Shi'an remained calm and composed, his tone undisturbed.
"What method are you talking about?" Huo Ling'er asked.
Qi Shi'an didn't say anything, but simply pointed a finger to the sky.
"You mean... the Upper Realm?!" one of the sealers exclaimed in surprise.
To everyone else, the Upper Realm is a mysterious place, but if what Qi Shi'an said is true, that all four immortal peach trees have become sacred medicines, it seems that only the Upper Realm has such supernatural power.
"However, forget about those four peach trees. We can't take them with us. Let's think about Monkey Bar instead."
Qi Shi'an was right. At this moment, everyone was focused on the four immortal peach trees. If they acted rashly, they would die without even knowing how.
It's one thing for Chilong, Bifang, Shiyi, and Pumoshu to covet it, but even the other kings in Baiduan Mountain are eager to possess it.
Because of the four immortal peach trees, a chaotic battle is destined to take place here.
He didn't want to become a target of public criticism because of the peach tree; that would be a losing proposition. While it's good to be sharp and outspoken, one must also know how to conceal one's talents appropriately.
"roar....
""
Ahead, in that mythical paradise, a monkey emerged from a giant, colorful bird, wielding a golden spear. With a single swing, it cleaved the mountain range ahead.
There were several beast kings there, all leaping up, spitting out runes, and unleashing their treasures to fight against the divine monkey.
"A fight has broken out!"
"What do we do?!"
The big red bird, the nine-headed lion, and others were extremely anxious.
"Let them fight. We'll take advantage of the chaos and sneak in," Shi Hao said softly.
No one objected; they were all ready to snag a bargain.
Huo Ling'er personally rode the divine carpet made from the hide of a Void Beast, silently and stealthily entering the Pure Land without being noticed by outsiders.
Just then, the little wolf in Huo Ling's arms became restless, struggling incessantly, and finally jumped directly onto Shi Hao's body, hanging on like a koala.
The little wolf twitched its nose vigorously, then tugged at Shi Hao's hair and pointed in a certain direction.
There, right next to the Spirit Lake, stands a grove of incredibly tall ancient trees, their trunks radiating a glowing light, where a kind of spiritual herb, resembling a monkey's head, grows.
"Monkey head mushroom!" Huo Ling'er exclaimed in surprise.
"Wait here, I'll go pick them."
"I'm going too!"
Shi Hao and Qi Shi'an jumped off the divine carpet and carefully crept over. Because the ancient trees were dense and the divine carpet was very large, they could not go deep inside.
Without alerting the fighting, the two went straight to the ancient trees, overjoyed, and prepared to pick the fruit.
However, the little wolf was anxious and stopped him, then jumped to the ground to dig up an old tree trunk.
With a loud "boom," the wolf cub was sent flying, and the thick old tree trunk burst forth with a dazzling glow, clearly covered with runes.
"Little brat, use your broken sword to cleave it!"
Qi Shi'an's eyes lit up. This little wolf was indeed a descendant of gods; its sensitivity to treasures was stronger than theirs.
The monkey wine they're looking for must be inside this old tree trunk!
Without saying a word, Shi Hao drew his broken sword and slashed at the old tree trunk. The runes on the tree were immediately shattered. Then he tapped the old tree and heard a hollow sound.
"This must be the monkey wine!" Qi Shi'an exclaimed excitedly.
Shi Hao used his broken sword to make a small hole, and a rich fragrance immediately wafted out, almost making people faint from intoxication.
Qi Shi'an immediately summoned his Qiankun Bag, transforming it into a canopy to shield the area and prevent the rich fragrance from disturbing other creatures.
Shi Hao took a small sip and immediately felt dizzy and almost passed out drunk. Moreover, the rich and fragrant aroma of the wine filled his body, and endless radiance burst forth from his pores.
"Is this monkey wine? It has such a strong medicinal effect!" Shi Hao exclaimed in shock.
In that instant, he sensed the aromas of many medicinal herbs, such as Crimson Orchid, Black Jade Lotus, Snow Jade Ginseng, Crimson Dragon Vine, and so on. The aromas were so strong, and there was also a hint of peach.
The tree hollow was filled with wine, its juice crystal clear, like amber, and flowing with an intoxicating fragrance.
"Take it away quickly, or there will be big problems. Don't forget, this is someone else's territory!" Qi Shi'an warned.
Reminded by him, Shi Hao quickly came to his senses and immediately used his broken sword to cut a wooden plug to seal the tree hole.
Then Qi Shi'an hugged the old tree trunk with both hands, pulled hard, and uprooted the entire tree, putting it into his Qiankun bag.
