Chapter 1471 - Immortal Tree Provocation
This was a stalk of immortal medicine, a long life tree that was hard to find throughout the world!
Shi Hao watched from the distance, drool about to come out, but it didn’t. Right now, he was only a skeleton.
Only now did a blank expression appear on his face. He could smell the fragrance even without flesh, the smell penetrating deeply into his mind. It seemed like this immortal medicine really was formidable after all.
It was clear that this was used on the soul, even his primordial spirit able to sense it. This type of ‘fragrance’ could enter the spirit!
No wonder it could prolong life, allow one to achieve immortality! This type of medicine made one’s primordial spirit change, not only the flesh undergoing rebirth, even cultivators undergoing a complete evolution.
Shi Hao immediately realized something. Normal medicines had to be taken orally, but this medicine would most likely be equally effective when ingested by the primordial spirit.
The immortal tree should have grown in burial region’s depths, planted by an unmatched burial king’s clan entrance, roots adjacent to the great tomb, why did it suddenly escape out? This really did make one think.
“I know what’s going on, there was most likely a battle in burial region’s depths. This world is about to fall into chaos!” The female undead knight’s expression suddenly changed.
“Is this extremely serious?” Shi Hao asked.
“Of course it is!” The female undead knight’s expression was extremely unpleasant, her sparkling white charming face full of worry and fear.
It was because according to what she said, undead knights normally remained asleep, the endless years, for them, were only a number, it didn’t represent much.
Many undead knights never left the tombs, always asleep, accumulating power. It was because being buried underground was precisely their way of cultivation!
In the burial region, it was normally extremely peaceful, lacking sounds, like a land of death. It was precisely like how the outside world saw it, completely barren, lacking all activity.
Clearly, silence and peacefulness was their normal state.
At the same time, he also understood that this race was extremely terrifying, a place that definitely gave birth to unmatched experts, those who were powerful to the point of making even Shutuo and Anlan feel restraining fear. Otherwise, they would have long dug up this burial region.
“Ancient Burial Region is so mysterious, not even your own people understand the inside information?”
“There was an exceptional undead knight that wished to unify a certain part of undead earth. In the end, under his great tomb, there were actually cracks that appeared, revealing a black underground abyss.” The female undead knight randomly gave an example.
As a result, after that abyss opened, several ancient graves were revealed, an ancient burial knight crawling out from one of them, directly grabbing those powerful undead knights who were close to being unmatched, about to unify Burial Earth and dragged them into the underground ancient tomb.
Shi Hao was completely stupefied when he heard this. Ancient Burial Region truly was hard for one to understand.
“Not even we ourselves know how many secrets there are underground, how many levels there are in the Burial Earth, how many great eras they had existed for. There is no way for us to ascertain any of this.” The female undead knight said.
Shi Hao was stunned, but now wasn’t the time to sigh with sorrow. He wanted to capture the immortal medicine. The fact that he was able to understand this much already wasn’t bad, the female undead knight wouldn’t be willing to leak out any more.
“Can it be captured?” Shi Hao asked the female undead knight, wanting to restrict this long life tree with her help, take it for his own.
“It is extremely dangerous. This type of immortal medicine is able to vanish instantly as long as they are connected to the ground, escape if there is wind. It comes and goes in the void, all types of restrictions are ineffective, too difficult to capture.” The female undead knight shook her head.
Shi Hao plotted with her, wishing to get closer and closer, and then suddenly take action.
Of course, there were still some precious artifacts, formations, and other things prepared. Even if it could break through them, they still had to give it a try just in case they did succeed in stopping it.
“The immortal medicine’s vigilance is too great, possessing a type of inherent spiritual nature. Before we truly take action, it will notice something.” The female undead knight said.
She gave Shi Hao a few suggestions, for example, exhaustion method, which was to keep chipping away at it until the immortal medicine was completely drained.
It was because she didn’t think Shi hao could succeed right now, even though they weren’t that far now.
“I just refuse to believe in the supernatural. With such a small distance between us, I can even lock down this heaven and earth, why wouldn’t I be able to catch it?” Shi Hao was unconvinced.
All types of preparation work was already done. He felt like silently approaching had a great chance of succeeding.
“Immortal medicines have always been intelligent, it wouldn’t take root in a normal place. This dao platform was used by an unmatched undead knight, you cannot underestimate it.” The young lady reminded.
Shi Hao was inwardly shaken. The dao platform looked tattered, covered in cracks, about to fall apart, but there was indeed a mysterious dao aura swirling about.
“I won’t worry about everything anymore, how can I give up on this opportunity? Please help me, prepare to take action!” Shi Hao said softly.
They used divine will to communicate, so it naturally wouldn’t startle that stalk of long life medicine.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Hao took action, turning into a streak of flowing light, rushing out. His large hand unfolded, grabbing the dao platform, his speed fast to the extreme!
Sure enough, this immortal tree really was too sensitive. The instant Shi Hao moved, it reacted, entering the dao platform, wishing to enter the depths of the ground and use this to escape.
“Where do you think you’re going!” Shi Hao shouted out.
In his surroundings, all types of precious artifacts danced about, all of them rushing over. There were formation patterns that covered this place densely, sealing heaven and earth.
Apart from this, he released a barrier of light, locking this place down. For someone as powerful as him to lock down everything within a hundred li was just too easy, it was like the other party had its wings pinned down.
The void couldn’t be passed through, the great earth couldn’t be shaken, everything was sealed up!
A smile appeared on the corners of Shi Hao’s lips. Even though that dao platform was in tatters, it released an indescribable aura that made all of the precious artifacts he controlled scatter.
Moreover, there was a wave of terrifying power that began to spread, leaving his palms in intense pain, as if they were going to crack apart.
In that instant, the space between Shi Hao’s thumb and forefinger began to bleed, trickle down, that area split open. The aura on the dao platform covered heaven and earth, as if a slumbering great vicious being revived, about to swallow him whole.
“Hurry and retreat!” The female undead knight cried out in alarm, dragging him backwards.
At the same time, the female undead knight’s expression paled, face carrying fear, truly extremely frightened. She felt a soul shaking feeling from that sacrificial stage.
Even Shi Hao shivered inwardly at this moment, feeling as if he had been targeted by a prehistoric beast, cold eyes sweeping towards him, the feeling extremely merciless.
On the tattered dao platform’s stone walls, a blurry face appeared. It couldn’t be seen clearly, but it really did make one feel its coldness.
“The dao platform an unmatched existence has sat on cannot be destroyed.” The female undead knight said quietly, extremely nervous. She had a terrified expression on her face. The ancient dao platform actually developed intelligence, producing this type of irregular scene. This was an alarming sight for any undead knight.
Shi Hao sighed. He underestimated this dao platform after all. There was something strange about it, immortal medicines really weren’t easy to catch.
They retreated a great distance, and only then did the face on the dao platform disappear.
Shi Hao stared at the earth the immortal medicine entered. It broke through the restrictions, escaping without a trace.
The formation patterns were useless against it after all!
“Where do you think you are going?!” Shi Hao chased after it.
He moved around the dao platform, chasing straight towards the direction where the long life medicine ran.
On the dao platform, all types of divine liquids already dried up. These were drawn up from underground by the immortal medicine, so now that it left, those spiritual roots naturally scattered.
“It most likely can’t be captured.” The female undead knight said, because once the long life medicine escaped, there was pretty much no hope left.
However, contrary to what she thought, multicolored light flickered from the horizon. That immortal tree emerged from the ground, appearing again.
Moreover, it was quite daring, removing its roots and fully appearing on the surface, starting to ‘run’.
Correct, its main roots were exposed from the ground, continuously moving them like human legs, running extremely quickly.
Did all divine medicines and immortal trees act like this? The female undead knight was also a bit speechless.
It was because the previous Heavenly Deity Tree was also like this, this medicine even more daring. It clearly knew that those behind it wanted to capture it, yet after escaping, it actually dared to reveal itself again.
Dark lines appeared on Shi Hao’s forehead. This immortal medicine was definitely provoking him, because it was still turning around to face them, stopping from time to time.
It was to the extent where the newborn tender shoots were lowered, slapping its ‘buttocks’.
Those ‘buttocks’ was naturally the stump, its trunk had been cut away by someone.
“Motherfucking… it’s clearly provoking me!” Shi Hao grinded his teeth. He was being looked down on by a tree!
“Where do you think you’re going?!” The female undead knight was also angered badly. This tree was too strange, actually looking down on them like this.
“En?” Suddenly, the two of them noticed that something wasn’t right.
It was because this tree was definitely doing this on purpose, leading them in a certain direction. What was it plotting?
“This scoundrel, it actually wants to get rid of us, bring us into a danger spot?” Shi Hao was suspicious.
The female undead knight slowed down. She frowned, because normally speaking, immortal medicines were not daring at all, not willing to stay behind.
Sure enough, this tree stopped again, wobbling around, the new branches like fingers, making hook like motions in their direction, continuing to taunt them.
“It left the holy land!” The female undead knight said.
They were going to leave this Ancient Burial Region if they proceeded a few more li.
“I am a bit interested in seeing just where it wants to bring us!” Shi Hao didn’t believe in the supernatural. He wanted to continue chasing it.
