LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 5 The Sacred Tree Binds the Spirit
In the Taoist temple, the sacred tree received the incense of the mortal world, and its heart was formed by secret methods.
Now there is quite a bit of spirituality.
After being trained like this by Song Yu and Wang Xiu, Wu Feng immediately started to resist, and Wu Feng took the initiative.
The red ropes and wooden signs on the tree shook and made a clattering sound.
This sound, mixed with the scent of incense, quietly penetrated into Song Yu and Wang Xiu's bodies.
But the two of them didn't realize it. They just thought that they had refined the spiritual power of the sacred tree and were improving in cultivation.
If they continue to practice like this, Song Yu and Wang Xiu will eventually be turned into bound spirits by the sacred tree. From then on, they will be bound to the sacred tree, lose their consciousness, and be driven like puppets.
When their bodies grow old in the future, their souls will become nourishment.
At that time, if the sacred tree gets the distracting thoughts of the human soul, its spirituality will turn into thoughts, completely give birth to spiritual wisdom, and become a monster.
"Hey, the sacred tree has spirit and doesn't want to be refined. The two of them also want to survive. You are not wrong. The fault is that Ling Yangzi!"
A faint voice came.
Then a monk holding a blue-grey jar in his hand and with illusory flesh wings on his back appeared in the Taoist temple.
The visitor found Chen Ming here based on Ling Yangzi's soul memory.
Although the sacred tree has spirituality and has some protective abilities after receiving incense, it only acts on instinct.
If you attack in secret, you still have some chance of winning against the unprepared Qi-entraining realm.
But facing the monks in the visualization realm, the sacred tree is instinctively afraid.
It sensed Chen Ming's aura and knew it couldn't afford to offend him.
But Song Yu and Wang Xiu had fallen into its trap, and they had refined it first, but they refused to give up!
The sacred tree shook even more violently, emitting a large amount of incense gas, mixed with poisonous gas.
Such a drastic change instantly woke up Song Yu and Wang Xiu who had fallen into ignorance.
The two of them broke into a cold sweat and understood their situation.
Unfortunately, it was too late. They had long been entangled and bound by the roots of the sacred tree, and they could not escape.
Moreover, the magic power in the body was also eroded by the incense breath emitted by the sacred tree, and it could not function at this time.
"Senior, help!"
"The two of us decided to refine the sacred tree just to survive!"
Song Yu and Wang Xiu were not stupid. They heard Chen Ming mention Ling Yangzi's name in his words, and his tone was not polite.
Then he knew that Chen Ming was not weaker than Ling Yangzi, and the chance to survive was right in front of him.
"Senior, although we are disciples of Ling Yangzi, we are actually controlled by his poisonous spell and cannot be free!"
"I beg you, senior, to save my two lives. From now on, I will work as an ox and a horse for senior, and I will be driven by senior to repay this kindness!"
The two shouted loudly, hoping that Chen Ming would save their lives.
Chen Ming pondered for a moment, his eyes flashed with green light, sensing the aura on their bodies.
By the time the green light in his eyes extinguished, the details of Song Yu and Wang Xiu had been nearly explored.
That Ling Yangzi was cautious by nature and narrow-minded. The cultivation method he passed on to the two of them was incomplete and could not even enter the Qi-entraining realm.
Not to mention any secret magic powers.
"You two are quite honest. You have mastered Ling Yangzi's poisonous ways. Your spiritual intelligence is not turbid. When the mortals in the city come to worship the tree, there are no scandals. Your thoughts are not bad either."
Hearing Chen Ming's words, Song Yu and Wang Xiu felt happy and hurriedly bowed down.
"Senior Mingjian, the two of us are honest and responsible people in the city at the foot of the mountain. We were brought up the mountain by Ling Yangzi. We thought we were destined to be immortals. We never thought about cultivating the law, but it turned out to be like this."
"Over the years, we have only been controlled, guarding the sacred tree and doing hard labor. We have never done anything harmful to nature!"
What Song Yu and Wang Xiu said was sincere and not a lie.
Chen Ming could tell the difference and was not afraid that the two of them would cause trouble.
The poisonous spells on them are not advanced spells, but are "Aoki Poison Gas" mixed with mana.
Chen Ming turned his magic power, and a green wood energy of life and death appeared on his fingertips. It flew out and turned on Song Yu and Wang Xiu, and the poisonous curse was broken.
Even the restraint of the sacred tree on them and the incense in their bodies also dissipated.
Song Yu and Wang Xiu's lives were saved and they worshiped Chen Ming.
However, the spirit of the sacred tree sensed the crisis and trembled violently, not even shrinking its own spiritual power to cover up the magic.
When Chen Ming saw this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Although you were trained by Ling Yangzi, you have now developed spirituality. If you can be used for me, I will naturally not kill you!"
After listening to Chen Ming's words, the sacred tree felt obedient. Its branches stretched out and emitted bursts of green light, manifesting Mu Xin.
Its foundation is the wooden heart made by the secret method. All the spirituality and incense of the body are contained in the wooden heart.
Once Mu Xin is damaged, it will be a disaster for it.
But at this time, its spiritual instinct made it surrender to Chen Ming.
"You are quite sensible!"
Chen Ming smiled slightly, and his spiritual thoughts shrouded the wooden heart and examined it.
It turns out that Mu Xin and the Sacred Tree were Ling Yangzi's attempts to break through the realm and achieve the realm of concentration.
Ling Yangzi mixed the "green wood poisonous energy" with a secret method, trained the wood heart, and turned it into this sacred tree, allowing it to accept the incense of the mortal world, so as to produce spiritual miracles.
When the spirit and incense of the sacred tree reach the heat, it will transform into a god.
At that time, the spirit will be suppressed and refined by Ling Yangzi, merged with the spirit, and achieve the state of concentration.
"Is this the way to achieve the state of concentration?"
Chen Ming retracted his divine thoughts, but he felt that Ling Yangzi's method of breaking through the Concentrated Spirit Realm seemed to be a little off.
But now, there was no other method to refer to, so Chen Ming had to put it aside for now.
"I have just entered the Contemplation Realm, and I will slowly prepare to break through to the Concentrated Spirit Realm. I will learn more methods to break through to the Concentrated Spirit Realm before considering it!"
"Besides, I still have the Creation Lotus Platform. I will practice a few more different void auras. When the spells on the Creation Lotus Platform mature, maybe I can evolve a better method!"
Chen Ming retracted his divine thoughts and erased the mark left by Ling Yangzi in Mu Xin.
And, he turned the control mark in Mu Xin into his own Qingmu Life and Death Aura.
"It's your good fortune to meet me. If it were someone else, you would probably not be able to escape the fate of being refined!"
The sacred tree saw that Chen Ming really let it go, but just changed the means of control, and did not hurt its spirituality. It hurriedly put away the wooden heart, swayed, and became more intimate with Chen Ming.
After controlling the sacred tree and knowing a way to break through to the state of concentration, Chen Ming was in a good mood and looked at this Taoist temple.
This Taoist temple is located on the top of Cuiping Mountain, which is where the spiritual energy of Cuiping Mountain gathers.
If mortals want to go up from the bottom of the mountain, they can only reach it by walking through a 9,999-step mountaineering stone ladder.
Only those who sincerely worship will spend the effort to come here.
Although the spiritual energy here is not as good as those blessed places, it is not bad, and it is enough for cultivation.
The sacred tree has been controlled by me, and it is not easy to move for the time being. It is better to settle here first, Chen Ming thought in his heart.
