Chapter 554: Chapter 452: Divine Wood Forest

One day later.

Fang Xing stared at the three stone tablets in his hand.

Through the different degrees of rubbings, he could clearly observe the insights of these three people.

"Mo Yan... among the insights of the three, you are the worst."

He first commented on the first stone tablet. Mo Yan’s body trembled immediately, and his face turned pale.

"But you still put in some effort. I reward you with a small trinket. You can leave now."

Fang Xing waved his hand, casually dismissing Mo Yan, and then picked up the second stone tablet. "Sang Song... Based on the insights on the tablet, you can be ranked second..."

Sang Song’s expression turned dejected, looking very disappointed.

"But in reality... you deliberately concealed your skills during the carving process... Do you not wish to serve us, the outsiders?"

Fang Xing sneered.

Sang Song’s face changed dramatically. "Master... Sang Song would never dare!"

The blue patterns on his cheeks kept shifting, a sign that any Flower Wood Clan person would give when extremely nervous.

Duomi was taken aback and glanced at this clan member in surprise.

’Unexpectedly, Sang Song had such cunning... Unfortunately, he underestimates the outsiders too much...’

Duomi sighed inwardly.

As the Holy Daughter of the Dora Tribe, she actually knew what many Flower Wood Clan people thought, but she was also aware of the results that previous elders’ resistance had brought.

’The secret techniques and cultivation techniques of the outsiders far surpass ours... They have special techniques that can even perform soul searches on us...’

’Wanting both is impossible. The only path to benefit is through loyalty!’

Duomi pondered in her heart, her expression becoming firmer.

"Only a pity... even with your hidden talents, you are still the second."

Fang Xing shook his head and called for Jiao Chi. "Take this Sang Song away and punish him with hard labor."

The Flower Wood Clan people wanting to resist was actually very normal, and Fang Xing did not kill for it.

Moreover, killing directly would be uneconomical.

After all, even a top expert at the ninth level of Primordial Spirit could yield more Primordial Crystals by working as a miner.

Falling into the hands of these extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, it was hard to even wish for death without them draining you of your worth.

"Duomi..."

Fang Xing looked at the last Flower Wood Clan female.

"Master..."

Duomi knelt down respectfully.

"You are good, very good..."

Fang Xing stroked the stone tablet in his hand. "Not only is your comprehension of the Dao Rule of Wood deep, but your insight is also astounding... The key is, you didn’t hide anything, very good."

The truth proved that a genius is indeed a genius.

The act of concealing skills by that Sang Song seemed rather laughable.

Because even if Sang Song did not hide his talents, Fang Xing would still not favor him.

It was actually Duomi whose talents were truly excellent. As for loyalty? That was the least of concerns.

"Duomi is willing to wholeheartedly serve my lord!"

Duomi’s voice carried a certain firmness.

Fang Xing immediately saw through her intention of sacrificing herself to save the entire tribe.

"Hmm, I’ve seen your determination..."

He nodded gently. "The Dora Tribe will be the most favored force among all the tribes under Boundaryless Mountain... As I said."

"Duomi thanks the lord."

Duomi felt relieved in her heart. With this promise, even if she had to die, or be enslaved, or endure all kinds of cruel and terrifying things, she would have no regrets.

"Come with me."

Fang Xing waved his sleeve, transforming into a dim light, and took Duomi to his Cave Mansion.

Duomi lightly bit her lip and, with apprehensions about the future, walked into the Cave Mansion.

"I need a servant..."

Fang Xing looked at Duomi and saw determination and a sense of relief on her face, but then he suddenly smiled. "But for now, I do not intend to enslave your soul... I’ll just plant a prohibition in you for now. We’ll talk more once you achieve the Heavenly Demon realm."

A soul-enslaved servant would never betray, which had many advantages, but the loss of free will would definitely severely impact potential.

Achieving the Heavenly Demon realm itself was a matter of chance, and compromising potential made the likelihood of even the Empirical Son fail.

Therefore, it was better to let it roam freely for the time being.

Even if she achieved the Heavenly Demon realm, she was no match for the current Fang Xing, so he naturally had no concerns.

"Now, calm your mind; here I come."

Fang Xing formed a seal with his hands and chanted, but the secret technique he performed was not ’Ten Thousand Hearts’.

For him, this secret technique was already outdated.

After all, even if the ’Gray-Robed Marquis’ was reborn, he could kill them with a single finger.

The highest-level secret books collected were only at the Dharma Master level, equivalent to the Heavenly Immortal’s layer.

Compared to the ’Panwu Grand Compendium,’ they were far inferior.

Even as for soul-enslaving techniques, ’Panwu Grand Compendium’ was comprehensive and included better ones.

It could even use certain secret techniques to forcibly transfer one’s scattered comprehension of laws to the soul slave.

If the creator of the Main Universe had known this secret technique, perhaps he would not have struggled bitterly to have children.

"Yes..."

Duomi felt a little nervous, then passed out.

Fang Xing casually waved, and blood-red runes poured into Duomi’s body, instantly disappearing without a trace.

This was not a soul slavery but a prohibition.

Even if Duomi achieved the Heavenly Demon realm in the future, he could still detonate it with a single thought, regardless of distance, causing her death and soul annihilation.

The reasoning behind this was very profound, involving causes and effects, and rules of destiny.

It was a small trick from the ’Panwu Grand Compendium.’

The reason for such trouble was naturally to preserve her free will for the impact on becoming a Heavenly Demon.

Duomi felt a sense of dizzy spell and then woke up again. "Lord..."

"It’s okay..."

Fang Xing’s attitude towards his subordinates was always good. "This volume of ’Three Insights of Celestial Green’ is for you to cultivate properly... Strive to attain the Heavenly Demon realm early."

This ’Three Insights of Celestial Green’ was something he exchanged using Merit Points from the Void Illusion Realm.

"Thank you, my lord."

Duomi was overjoyed beyond words.

If it weren’t for pledging loyalty to her master, how could she have gained such exquisite inheritance?

Besides, the lord only planted a prohibition without enslaving her mind, a generosity almost beyond belief.

...

"I always feel... there’s something odd about this Holy Daughter of the Dora Tribe... Seems to have a tendency for masochism..."

Inside a secret chamber, Fang Xing formed a seal and sensed carefully, feeling a little speechless.

The prohibition he placed on Duomi, though not enslaving the mind, occasionally collected some divine soul waves.

What he just sensed was Duomi’s inner monologue, which was almost too pathetic to watch.

"Forget it... As long as the tool is useful."

Fang Xing closed his eyes and continued to immerse himself in the Time Dao Principle.

Even if no one in Qingmu Realm could pose a threat to him, his Dao Law comprehension could not fall behind...

...

Divine Wood Forest.

It’s a perilous place in Qingmu Realm, but because of the occasional appearance of the Green Wood Spirit Heart, cultivators often came to explore.

Swish!

A human clan cultivator in a Daoist outfit flew across the sky, his expression smart and his beard mottled with gray, constantly casting secret techniques to sense the land. "... In the Divine Wood Forest, there have been occurrences of the Purple Wood Spirit Heart before. I hope that my Ancestor blesses me, Sanyuan Daoist, to obtain a Purple Wood Spirit Heart, achieving Heavenly Immortal and bringing glory to my sect."

Suddenly!

His expression changed, and the hand seal of the secret technique he was performing changed instantly.

"This..."

"This, this..."

Perceiving waves of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, he immediately changed direction, heading towards a valley.

At this moment, in the center of the valley, waves of primordial yellow energy kept surging, and five-colored clouds shot straight into the sky. The waves were so vast that they could be clearly sensed even from a million miles away.

"The primordial yellow energy surges... Is an Innate Spiritual Treasure about to be born?"

Sanyuan Daoist did not hesitate, immediately releasing a series of Talismans from his sleeve, wanting to seal off the waves of primordial yellow energy.

But unfortunately, it was already too late...

Whoosh!

From the southwest, a dark green light shot forth. Upon seeing Sanyuan Daoist, it immediately launched an attack.

Caw!

With a cry like piercing the skies, feathers shot like sharp arrows.

A strange shield appeared in Sanyuan Daoist’s hands, sending three-colored light screens skyward to block the arrows.

Even so, he was forced back hundreds of miles in one breath. "Green Emperor Palace, Wind Demon Tribe’s Demon King?"

"Since you know it’s Green Emperor Palace, why haven’t you left yet?"

Within the demonic wind, a vulture with a grotesque bump on its head at the ninth level of Primordial Spirit spoke human language.

"Your Green Emperor Palace bullies too much..."

Sanyuan Daoist still wanted to say something when his expression suddenly changed.

Poof!

A streak of blue light pierced the three-colored light screen, instantly running through Sanyuan Daoist.

A member of the demon race, wearing a golden crown, with a full celestial court and a slightly hooked nose, descended from the sky. "With an Innate Spiritual Treasure emerging, all cultivators within a million miles must be silenced!"

"Yes, Lord Jin Yan Marquis."

The vulture demon king immediately bowed.

Jin Yan Marquis did not say more, staring at the surging primal energy in the valley. His eyes were filled with desire. "An Innate Spiritual Treasure... an Emperor Weapon! Though I am the Dominator of Primordial Spirit, I am not too strong among Dominators. If I obtain an Emperor Weapon, my strength will surely soar!"

For this, what did it matter if he strictly sealed off the information?

Even if it meant offending all the major factions exploring Qingmu Realm, he wouldn’t hesitate!

...

Unbeknownst to Jin Yan Marquis.

At the moment when Sanyuan Daoist fell.

In an unnamed cave.

The rock face cracked, revealing a Primordial Pearl.

Within the Pearl, countless clouds rose, transforming into the figure of Sanyuan Daoist.

His face initially retained the look of anger and fury, which soon turned to a cold sneer. "What a good Jin Yan Marquis. If I hadn’t comprehended the Three-Corpse Dao Rule, capable of splitting myself for preservation, I’d truly be done for this time... Do the great factions’ Dominators of Primordial Spirit think themselves impressive? Killing and silencing immediately upon meeting... Heh heh! The more you don’t want this to get out, the more I’ll spread it to the world!"

Sanyuan Daoist understood well if he didn’t spread the news, the Innate Spiritual Treasure would definitely fall to Jin Yan Marquis!

On the contrary, if he stirred the waters, then there would be a sliver of chance!

"Hmph, daring to silence Sanyuan Daoist... Even if I can’t get the treasure, I won’t let you have it easily!"

Sanyuan Daoist gazed toward Divine Wood Forest, with a glint of ice in his eyes.
