The bee swarm also knew where the Heavenly Abyss Divine Trees were. They soon led Feng Xi and the others to one.
At this moment, the other three groups were still battling wits and strength with the demonic plants, some had even already been injured.
The difference couldn't be any clearer!
The melon-eating onlookers outside the Heaven-and-Earth Banner didn't explode in an uproar this time, because they were already numb to Feng Xi's outrageous maneuvers.
Besides, the ultimate mission was to pick Purple Spirit Mushrooms, the demonic plants along the way were merely appetizers.
The Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree didn't need spirit bees for pollination, her trick wouldn't work!
Feng Xi and the others didn't dare approach the Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree, they only observed it from afar.
After all, it was a demonic plant in early Nascent Soul stage, one careless move and they would lose their lives.
The six of them all sucked in a breath of cold air when they saw the Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree.
It blotted out the sky and covered the sun, a colossal existence!
On its dark brown trunk, a few purple mushrooms grew sporadically, they were the Purple Spirit Mushrooms.
Jiang Ji and the others felt their hearts sink halfway. The Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree's branches were very dense, before they could even get close, they would probably be finished, let alone pick the Purple Spirit Mushrooms.
If it was another group, they might stand a chance with two mid Golden Core cultivators cooperating and support from the others.
But it's too difficult for their group!
Xing Wu probed, "Little Junior Sister, should we try the ice mountain again?"
Before Feng Xi could speak, Ying Feilong said, It's useless, the Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree isn't like those spirit bees. If it wildly lashes its branches, the ice mountain would instantly be reduced to powder."
To prove his point, he transformed his demonic qi into a ferocious dragon and sent it toward the Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree.
Before it even reached within dozens of meters, it was lightly dispersed by one of the tree's branches!
Like an old man toying with a child!
The crowd grew even more discouraged!
This level was probably impossible to pass.
Feng Xi also thought that brute force was definitely not viable, even with risking their lives, it would end up being pointless.
It's a pity that most demonic plants couldn't leave their original spots. Otherwise, she could've tricked some of them into helping.
Hm? It seemed that the Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree could leave its spot!
Her eyes darted around as she asked the bee swarm, "How many Heavenly Abyss Divine Trees are there here? However many there are, fly that many to my right side."
Immediately, five spirit bees flew to her right.
Feng Xi instantly had an idea!
She projected her voice with spiritual power toward the Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree, "Hey!
As the saying goes, one mountain cannot contain two tigers. Do you want to dominate and become the king?
If you do, let's cooperate!
I can hand over control of the spirit bees to you. From now on, you'll control the reproductive rights of all demonic plants in the Valley of Heavenly Abyss.
As long as you kill the other four Heavenly Abyss Divine Trees, this Valley of Heavenly Abyss will be yours!
Don't worry, I have no other motive. After it's done, I only want ten Purple Spirit Mushrooms.
How about it? Deal?
Actually, I could go talk to the other four Heavenly Abyss Divine Trees instead, but since we met first, I still believe in fate."
After a long while, the Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree's branches swayed slightly.
Feng Xi blinked, "You want to ask how to kill the other four Heavenly Abyss Divine Trees?
That's simple, shrink your main body and hide somewhere in ambush beforehand.
I'll lure a nearby Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree over, then we'll catch it off guard!
After it dies and you absorb its spirit core, dealing with the next one will be as easy as turning your hand!
Well? Deal?"
The Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree remained silent for quite some time.
Feng Xi sneered coldly, "What? You don't dare? In this world, the bold eat their fill while the timid starve. If you shrink back now, you can just wait to be killed by the other Heavenly Abyss Divine Trees!"
After saying that, she turned to Jiang Ji and the others, "Let's go! We'll find the other four Heavenly Abyss Divine Trees and talk about cooperation."
They had barely taken a few steps when the Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree behind them made a rustling sound.
Its massive form rapidly shrank, until it was only a little over a foot tall.
It pulled its roots out of the soil and "walked" toward Feng Xi and the others like an octopus.
Feng Xi secretly rejoiced in her heart and said a few flattering words, the Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree didn't even know which root to move first!
Feng Xi had Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree No. 1 and Jiang Ji's group hide, then went alone to provoke Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree No. 2.
Jiang Ji insisted on going, but Feng Xi asked him, "Are you confident in being able to anger it and lure it here?"
Jiang Ji shut his mouth.
When it came to fighting, he feared nothing. But when it came to running his mouth, it's better to let Little Junior Sister handle it!
Led by the bee swarm, Feng Xi found Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree No. 2.
"You call yourself a Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree?
The tree next to our sect's latrine has more divinity than you!"
"What, you're not convinced?
If you've got the ability, come chase me!
You don't dare, right? With your guts, you might as well rename yourself Heavenly Abyss Coward Tree!"
...
Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree No. 2 had never suffered such humiliation, it immediately shrank its body to just over one meter tall and lunged toward Feng Xi!
At the same time, it released the pressure of an early Nascent Soul stage.
Under normal circumstances, let alone someone at Qi Gathering Stage like Feng Xi, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be immobilized by that pressure.
But Feng Xi was still lively and hopping about, running swiftly!
Because her sea of consciousness that was tempered by the jade slip, was already incomparably strong.
Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree No. 2 was a demonic plant at the end of the day. Even in early Nascent Soul stage, it wasn't as fast as a cultivator or demonic beast.
Thus, Feng Xi safely lured it into the ambush circle.
Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree No. 1 had long been holding back a surge of energy, it directly used its branches to bind the roots of Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree No. 2.
At the same time, Jiang Ji and the others also attacked.
Feng Xi also secretly burned the roots of the Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree with spiritual power flames.
There were other demonic plants nearby, and Feng Xi had tricked them into joining the battle as well.
Although their main bodies couldn't move, helping within a small range was still possible.
A new king was about to ascend the throne, they would be the founding elders!
Charge!
The fight was extremely intense, and Feng Xi witnessed the vast difference in cultivation levels.
It's still the same saying, strength is the hard truth.
After returning, she would have to cultivate desperately!
She needed to bring forth her Earth Spiritual Root as soon as possible.
With careful planning against an unprepared opponent, Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree No. 2 lost the initiative. Combined with the six cultivators on No. 1's side, it ultimately lost its life.
After it died, Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree No. 2 revealed its true form, and Feng Xi obtained three Purple Spirit Mushrooms.
Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree No. 1 began absorbing the spirit core of Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree No. 2.
Feng Xi and the others sat nearby and cultivated.
Then Feng Xi suddenly bled from all seven orifices and fainted!
Fortunately, Jiang Ji and the others had seen this situation several times before and didn't panic. After feeding her medicine to repair her divine sense, Feng Xi woke up.
It seemed the pressure from Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree No. 2 still slightly affected her.
However, Feng Xi quickly discovered with delight that inside her dantian, a small yellow sprout had sneakily emerged.
The long-awaited Earth Spiritual Root had finally broken through the soil!
For a moment, Feng Xi was enveloped in immense joy.
But she very soon calmed down.
The Earth Spiritual Root was still weak, so there were still faint cracks in her dantian.
Only when the Earth Spiritual Root grew stronger would her dantian completely heal.
However, that day will arrive soon!
Feng Xi was afraid the other four spiritual roots would bully the Earth Spiritual Root, so she issued a warning with her divine sense.
The four spiritual roots immediately grabbed the Earth Spiritual Root and began spinning in circles.
The poor Earth Spiritual Root was nearly pulled apart!
Then Feng Xi realized that it had grown a bit longer!
Feng Xi: "..."
That damned thing had actually been pretending to be weak all along!
What kind of sin had she committed to end up with this bunch of dogs!
