Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 552 Face to Face
According to legend, the Jianmu tree is a bridge connecting heaven, earth, and the gods.

Even in the era of the separation between heaven and earth, it was still able to connect the gods with the common people on earth.

This tree is so precious that it can be considered the pinnacle of wood quality.

The dark red Jianmu Heart resembled a piece of red jade, smooth and warm to the touch, containing an endless, surging essence. Even just a small section caused Zhu Ju to breathe rapidly and his blood to surge quickly.

What a baby!
If used for weapon forging, even a novice can forge a first-grade divine weapon, and there is even hope of obtaining a celestial weapon.

Opening of the Jianmu tree:
"I've given you the item, fellow Daoist, please make your move!"

"No rush." ​​Zhu Ju shook his head.
"There are two more treasures."

"..." Jianmu sighed helplessly, paused with his wooden staff, and smoke rose from the void behind him, with one treasure after another appearing.

"Choose!"

"Senior," Zhu Ju said with a faint smile.
"You should have another treasure on you, something that can help you develop sentience."

?

Jianmu's expression changed, and he subconsciously took a step back, his eyes darting back and forth.

"You want it?"

"Not bad." Zhu Ju nodded.
"Your original body is too special. Theoretically, it should not have developed intelligence, but it has. I am naturally very interested in a treasure with such heaven-defying power."

"It's not impossible," Jianmu said slowly, stroking his beard.
"There is indeed something that has been with me since I was born, but that thing is now just a wisp of life. Don't regret it."

"No regrets."

"Well!"

Jianmu nodded, flicked his finger forward, and a hazy yellow aura drifted out and landed in Zhu Ju's palm.

"I do not know what this thing is. I only kept it because it was with me in life. Since you want it, fellow Daoist, there is no problem with that."

"What's the second thing you want?"

Zhu Ju lowered his head, looking at the dim yellow aura in his hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The primordial energy!

One of the Five Primordial Elements?

This thing actually exists?

After calming himself down, he casually withdrew the dim light and then pointed at the wooden staff in Jianmu's hand.

"I want the second one!"

"You..." Jianmu's expression changed again, showing reluctance. After struggling for a moment, he helplessly handed over the wooden staff in his hand:

"This is my most prized possession, and I hope you will keep your promise."

"of course."

Zhu Ju took the wooden staff, weighed it lightly, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

nice one!
Jianmu is one of the most exquisite spiritual plants. Any wood-type object that it values ​​and holds in its hand must be extraordinary.
This wooden staff has gnarled and knotted patterns on its surface, and it is heavy to the touch, weighing a great weight. It is also extremely compatible with the power of wood, and if you hold this item to cast wood-based spells, the power of the spells can be multiplied several times.

Even without refinement, it is still a first-grade divine weapon or magical treasure; if it were refined…

It must be a divine product!

"elder brother."

At this time.

Zhu Shuang'er spoke:
"Someone is using secret techniques to search the vicinity."

"Hmm." Zhu Ju snapped out of his reverie and put away his wooden staff.

"Even for a third-rank martial artist, finding a place like the Hanging Garden to disguise oneself is no easy task, but just in case..."

"I need to refine the heart of the Jianmu tree first. You will protect me."

"Yes." Zhu Shuang'er nodded.

Mountain top.

Lu Rong sat cross-legged on a round stone covered with moss, her eyes closed, her blood and qi surging throughout her body.

Above her head, a giant vertical eye formed from the convergence of qi, blood, and flames floated in mid-air.

Upon closer inspection of the vertical pupils, one could see countless scenes rapidly flashing across hundreds of miles within them.

The Blazing Eye of Truth that Dispels Illusion!

This is one of the seven great secret techniques of the Daoist sect.

Normally, only a first-grade master can truly master this technique. Lu Rong is special because she has a son of superior grade, who was nourished by various rare and precious materials to master the secret technique.

This technique can see through illusions, perceive all things, and directly see the essence of things. It is especially good at breaking through invisibility.

No matter what.

The Hanging Garden was established by ancient gods, and even if its power is less than one ten-thousandth of what it once was, it is not easily broken.

"Master."

A man and a woman ran up to them:
"Elder Han sent a message, asking why we haven't reached the agreed location. The town's stone tablet has already appeared." "Tell him what happened here. The Jianmu tree is of paramount importance, even more so than the Lu Wu Divine Mansion." Lu Rong, her eyes still closed, spoke:

"If we seize the Jianmu tree, the Daoist Sect may be able to break through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Formation and escape this realm."

"God's Mansion..."

"Let him handle it himself. If he really can't, send a message to the sect and ask them to send an expert over."

"Yes," the man replied, then added:

"Grandmaster, could it be that Jianmu has already escaped from the Divine Palace?"

"No." Lu Rong shook her head.
“I can vaguely sense its presence, and it has been trying to escape for three days without being able to shake off my pursuit. Now it has suddenly disappeared, most likely hiding in some special place to avoid my senses.”

"It doesn't matter..."

"I have informed Zhao Henshan that he is on his way and will arrive within a month at the latest."

Zhao Henshan?
The name seemed rather unusual, and the expressions of both the male and female juniors changed.

"You don't need to worry, this is my private matter."

Lu Rong waved her hand:

"Go down!"

"Yes."

The two of them should have retreated step by step, moving further away.

"Elder Zhao is known as the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts. He is one of the top three experts in the sect's Beast Taming lineage. He is not someone we can afford to offend."

After descending the mountain, the woman spoke:
"Senior brother, don't worry. We just need to tell Master about it, and the elders will handle it."

"I'm afraid...of being caught in the crossfire." The man's face was bitter.
"Our master loves...beautiful women, and has countless lovers. As long as they don't get married, the vice sect leader won't mind. But Elder Zhao's status is different. If he has a child with our master, given the vice sect leader's temper, we're afraid we won't escape our fate."

Even the aftershocks of the wrath of a top-tier expert are something they cannot withstand.

Lu Rong was extremely unrestrained from a young age. With her son's protection, she became even more reckless. For a time, the entire Dao Seeking Sect was troubled by her personal problems until she moved to Phoenix Perch Mountain, far away from the sect, which brought the matter to an end.

"Ugh!"

The two sighed softly, their faces filled with bitterness.

"Wow!"

suddenly.

A crane's cry rang out, and flames rolled across the sky. Thousands of trees on the entire mountain turned into raging flames, converging towards the giant vertical eye above.

"found it!"

"It's actually a fragment of a divine palace. No wonder it was able to deceive my senses. I wonder who is so bold as to offend the Dao Seeking Sect."

Lu Rong opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes flashing with a fiery red light, her gaze falling on a hillside.

The once lush hillside now features a manor, or rather, a medicinal herb garden.

A light mist enveloped the area, through which three figures could be vaguely seen.

"Master!"

"Master!"

"..."

Several junior members of the Dao Asking Sect leaped to the mountain peak and appeared behind Lu Rong, following her as they approached the Hanging Garden.

"Fellow Daoist, please open your Divine Palace and release the Jianmu tree."

Lu Rong's shouts echoed among the mountains, but the people in the Divine Palace did not respond.

"You really think that hiding in the Divine Palace means I have no way out?"

With a soft hum, Lu Rong flicked her long sleeves, and a talisman drawn in blood flew out in a flash.

Spiritual Void Talisman!

This talisman was drawn with the essence and blood of a top-tier expert and is capable of suppressing all things.

"Om..."

The divine talisman hung in the void, casting a soft spiritual light. The mist surrounding the hanging garden dissipated at a visible speed, and the laws within were temporarily suppressed.

The figures of Zhu Ju and his two companions were clearly visible.

"Ugh!"

With a soft sigh, Zhu Ju leaped into the air and out of the suspended garden, his blood and qi surging, manifesting a divine form in the void.

"Third grade!"

"The Dharma of the Giant Spirit!"

Lu Rong's beautiful eyes flickered slightly:

"So you're a fellow Daoist from the Divine Firmament Sect."
