Creation of the Universe

Su Yu's judgment was very sharp. These stone statues were indeed beginning to emit a certain "vitality".

That is a sign that spiritual energy is flowing.

At this time, Shen Zhan did not forget to remind Su Yu, "If we fight later, run away. I may not be able to take care of you."

"Then you'd better protect me first."

Su Yu was somewhat indifferent and stood calmly beside Shen Zhan, as if she was sure that the latter would protect her in times of danger.

As a "boom" sound was heard, Shen Zhan looked and saw that a stone statue in the distance began to raise its legs and slowly walked towards Shen Zhan.

After this first one, more stone statues appeared one after another around it, and they also began to move around restlessly.

Shen Zhan can now clearly feel the spiritual energy emanating from them, but they are just stone statues, not people with cultivation, so they cannot convert the spiritual energy into spiritual power. All they can do is perform relatively simple actions.

But even so, their numbers were still too many. Shen Zhan held the Liuyun Sword across his body, ready to fight.

"Be careful, your companions are among them. Are you prepared to have to deal with them?"

Su Yu's question made Shen Zhan feel a little painful.

But he immediately replied firmly: "I won't let anything happen to them. I will restore them to normal."

"That's easy for you to say. Let's solve the current trouble first."

After saying this, Su Yu hid behind a stone tablet behind Shen Zhan, and at the same time stuck his head out to observe the situation.

Although the stone statues moved slowly, they had already approached Shen Zhan while he was talking. The latter drew his sword and swung out sword energy frequently, which broke the stone statues. They were even more fragile than he had imagined.

The older Shen Zhan grew, the more confident he became. He shuttled between the stone statues, wielding the Liuyun Sword with ease. Every time he struck, he could completely destroy several stone statues.

At this rate, it wouldn't be difficult to get rid of these stone statues.

But unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Shen Zhan discovered that the stone statues that he had chopped into pieces with the Liuyun Sword would actually recover on their own after a period of time, as if they were completely unharmed.

Shen Zhan said: "Something is wrong, how could this happen?"

Su Yu reminded him from behind: "It seems that they are all impossible to kill. We have to think of other ways."

If the extremely sharp Liuyun Sword doesn't work, then what other means can be used to deal with the stone statue?

This became a difficult problem. Shen Zhan was busy dealing with the stone statues that were getting closer and closer and gradually surrounding him, and he had no time to come up with a perfect solution.

"Oh!"

He turned around and swept across, smashing a stone statue close to his back. Then, when he was about to attack again, he was shocked to see that his former comrade-in-arms, Meng Zhong, who had turned into a stone statue, had come to him.

"Meng Zhong!"

Shen Zhan hesitated. He couldn't draw his sword against his loyal subordinates.

But this made the stone statues move closer to him, and the stone statues in other directions were also approaching.

Shen Zhan's mind moved, and he remembered that he had just used the method of the five elements to counteract each other to solve the Eight Desolate Karma Fire. So could these stone statues also be broken by following this idea?

Thinking of this, Shen Zhan decided to give it a try.

The five elements of the stone statue are earth, so I have to use wood to restrain it. But then a problem arises. This is a wasteland with not even a few weeds to be seen. Where does the wood attribute come from to restrain the earth?

"Why are you hesitating? The statue is getting closer and closer to you. If we can't deal with it, we can still retreat from here!"

Seeing that Shen Zhan's movements slowed down, Su Yu immediately reminded him loudly.

If no wood can be found here, then we can only use the same trick again. Shen Zhan quickly thought of a solution.

The key still lies in the map of mountains, rivers and stars, but this time all he needs to do is to grab a few earth spirit fruits from the space within the map. These earth spirit fruits he brought from the Spirit Beast Forest are exactly the things belonging to the wood element in the five elements.

Without further ado, Shen Zhan placed these Earth Spirit Fruits on the ground and injected his own spiritual power into them.

After a while, the Earth Spirit Fruit quickly took root and sprouted under the nourishment of spiritual power, and then grew into tall Earth Spirit Trees.

The Earth Spirit Fruits were originally grown by absorbing the spiritual energy from the Earth Spirit Veins. Now their strong roots are spreading everywhere, quickly weaving into a huge silk net underground, and tightly wrapping around the stone statues one by one, absorbing the spiritual energy emitted by the stone statues.

Soon all the stone statues stopped moving. As the Earth Spirit Tree absorbed more spiritual energy, the stone statues changed more.

Shen Zhan walked up to a stone statue and found that as the spiritual energy was completely stripped away, the stones on the statue's surface began to fall off, revealing the person's original true face.

"They've all recovered from petrification."

Su Yu felt it was amazing.

"Maybe Meng Zhong and the others can still be saved. I want to try."

Shen Zhan found Meng Zhong's location. At this time, the Earth Spirit Tree absorbed the spiritual energy from the latter, and Meng Zhong returned to the appearance that Shen Zhan was familiar with before, but he kept his eyes closed and motionless, like a corpse that had just been buried.

"Meng Zhong, wake up! I'm Shen Zhan, and I'm here to find you!"

Shen Zhan tried to use his spiritual power to wake Meng Zhong up, but failed after several attempts.

Su Yu leaned over and listened for a moment, then told Shen Zhan, "It's really strange. This person is still holding on to a faint vitality!"

"What did you say!"

Shen Zhan put his hand on Meng Zhong's Renying acupoint. Just as Su Yu said, he felt a very weak pulse, which meant that Meng Zhong was not really dead.

Unfortunately, Shen Zhan is not a miracle doctor and has never encountered such a situation. The only person he can discuss with is Su Yu.

"What can you do?"

Su Yu replied, "You finally thought of me. I do have a solution, but I don't have any spiritual power right now. Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to use it. You have to agree to one condition first."

She bargained at this time, which showed that she had read Shen Zhan's pulse.

"Okay, as long as it's something I can do, just tell me."

Su Yujiao smiled and replied, "How many Earth Spirit Fruits do you have left? Give them all to me."

"You want Earth Spirit Fruit?"

"Of course, although the Earth Spirit Fruit isn't that rare, it can at least help me recover my spiritual power. Are you willing to give it to me?"

Without saying a word, Shen Zhan placed all the earth spirit fruits stored in the map of mountains, rivers and stars in front of Su Yu.

"As long as you can digest it, these are all yours."
