Primordial Era: I, Yuan Hong, am solely focused on stability; humanity remains clear-headed

Chapter 282 Cutting Laurel Branches! Or should we cut a few more?

"call out!"

Just as Yuan Hong was about to unleash his spatial powers to uproot the laurel tree,

Suddenly, his expression tightened, and he realized something was wrong.

As the entire spiritual root trembled, the Taiyin Star, to which the laurel tree was rooted, suddenly began to tremble slightly.

Although the fluctuations were small, he kept a close eye on them and naturally wouldn't miss any clues.

At that moment, Yuan Hong felt that the difficulty of uprooting the tree had suddenly increased many times over.

If he didn't know the secrets of the laurel tree or how difficult it would be to take it away before, he now has a pretty good idea.

As he attempted to take the laurel tree away, the very essence of the Moon Star began to surge.

The energy transmitted to the spatial divine power made Yuan Hong feel an immense weight, as if he were carrying the weight of the heavens on his back.

Even with his immense power, he could not forcibly shake this weight!

"So that's how it is. The laurel tree is rooted in the Moon Star and is actually protected by the Moon Star's own essence..."

Yuan Hong's expression was somewhat unpleasant. No wonder, he felt as if he were about to move away a celestial body!

Just kidding. The weight of the Taiyin Star and the vastness of its origin are immeasurably greater than the Great Thousand Worlds. They are not even on the same level.

With his quasi-saint level cultivation, trying to forcibly shake the Taiyin Star is practically a pipe dream!

Only a saint could do that.

Moreover, the Taiyin Star and the Laurel Tree are almost an inseparable whole. Together, they represent the Taiyin Dao of the primordial world and bear the mission of spreading Taiyin power throughout the primordial world.

Therefore, Yuan Hong felt that even a saint would have to pay a price if he wanted to forcibly take the laurel tree away.

After all, in the primordial world, every action has its potential cause and effect, and some of these causes and effects are so great that they cannot be touched lightly, or rather, it is not worth touching them.

Otherwise, the fact that the laurel tree, a spiritual root, was not taken away by the sage already speaks volumes.

"In that case, the Fusang Divine Tree on the Sun Star should also be like this, unable to be coveted by outsiders..."

"Unless one stays on the Moon and the Sun and monopolizes the spiritual root for a long time, one can gain benefits."

Yuan Hong sighed, withdrew his supernatural powers, and calmed his magic. He knew that it was impossible to forcibly take away the spiritual root intact.

After that brief probing, he had fully grasped the secret behind it.

The Fusang Divine Tree of the Sun Star, like the Laurel Tree, is also one of the ten top innate spiritual roots of the primordial world!

It is said that Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi grew on the Fusang tree, which was once used as a spiritual root to suppress the fate of the Heavenly Court of the demon race.

Yes, according to Yuan Hong's discovery, even top-grade innate spiritual treasures have a certain ability to suppress destiny.

The Huangzhong plum and Xingchen fruit trees in his hands are examples of this.

However, the hibiscus and laurel trees are more special. Perhaps because they are backed by the sun and moon, their ability to suppress fortune is more obvious and their effect is greater!

Of course, no matter how many benefits it might bring, it seems to have nothing to do with Yuan Hong anymore.

Since you can't take it with you, why bother thinking about it?

"That won't do. I can't have come all this way for nothing."

"I have visited countless treasure troves and grotto-heavens, and I have never returned empty-handed..."

Yuan Hong looked at the still majestic laurel tree, pondered for a moment, and was still somewhat unwilling.

If he hadn't seen any spiritual roots or treasures, that would have been fine, but having such a large top-grade spiritual root right in front of him and being unable to obtain it made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Hmph, might as well just cut off a portion..."

Yuan Hong muttered a few words, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

The next moment, a sharp sword appeared in his hand, radiating a chilling aura and filled with the aura of Taibai Gengjin, as if it could cut through everything.

This sword was a high-grade innate spiritual treasure that he hadn't used for a long time, the Taibai Gengjin Sword.

Now he took it out and used it as a tool for cutting down trees, which was just what he needed.

"laugh!"

Yuan Hong aimed at a huge branch of the laurel tree and slashed out with his sword. The powerful magic power poured into the spiritual treasure was enough to forcibly tear apart a vast world!

The bark of the laurel tree is indeed very tough, but it is still just a plant, and of course it cannot stop a living quasi-saint.

Soon, the entire huge branch was cut off by Yuan Hong!

"seal up!!"

Yuan Hong's eyes lit up, his primordial spirit shone, emitting a pure and flowing light that was released onto the laurel branch, forming a mysterious seal to prevent the laurel branch contained within from returning to its original form.

Yes, the huge branch he cut off clearly contained the essence of the laurel tree.

However, if left untreated, these origins will inevitably return to their original forms without any change.

Yuan Hong, who possessed numerous spiritual roots, was very clear about this point. This was the unique attribute of innate spiritual roots, not to mention top-grade innate spiritual roots.

Some physical damage is nothing to such a powerful and extraordinary spiritual root.

Sometimes, even if the main body is destroyed and most of it is damaged, as long as its spiritual essence is preserved, it may be able to recover completely by absorbing more resources in the future!

The vitality of an innate spiritual root is far more resilient than the innate, indestructible spiritual light of an innate spiritual treasure.

Yuan Hong, who had made preparations in advance, naturally had the corresponding methods to intercept a portion of the laurel tree's essence.

Only in this way can he use these origins to grow a laurel tree again!

Yes, he can no longer count on the complete, top-grade innate spiritual root, the Laurel Divine Tree.

But he could try to cut off a branch and the root, and go back to grow a small laurel tree himself!

Of course, while it's possible to do that, it would inevitably require a huge amount of resources to make it grow.

Moreover, the small laurels grown in this way will most likely only be low-grade innate spiritual roots.

Even if Yuan Hong could provide extremely abundant resources, with top-tier divine objects like Chaos Soil and Chaos Divine Water, and achieve the ultimate, this little laurel would at most reach the level of a mid-grade innate spiritual root, which is only two-thirds the grade of its mother plant.

This means that even the strongest small spiritual roots that are transformed from branches have an upper limit and are far from comparable to their parent body.

But Yuan Hong didn't mind; even a low-grade innate spiritual root was better than nothing.

Moreover, this is the laurel, which contains the origin and laws of the moon. It is one of the two most special stars in the boundless constellations, and thus holds a special status.

Not to mention the laurel flowers that grow on this tree, which inherently possess the ability to help people attain enlightenment.

In short, sacred trees like the laurel and hibiscus, even in their weakened forms, will inevitably hold a special position and have a greater effect than other spiritual roots of the same level.

"It really can be done... In that case, I might as well capture a tiny bit more..."
