Chapter 311: Chapter 150 Cut Down that Tree!_2

All the sources of the Earth’s arteries are pointing towards the divine tree on this mountain, nurturing the sun and the moon.

To prevent the leakage of the Qi from the Earth’s arteries, Shen Yuan even used a strand of Primal Chaos Energy for suppression, laying out the Primal Chaos Eight-Trigrams Array Formation in advance.

But to Shen Yuan’s surprise, Three-field Yuu saw the traces of the formation laid by Shen Yuan, mistaking it for cultivated farmland, and scattered rice seeds on the Primal Chaos Eight-Trigrams Array Formation.

Most of the Earth’s arterial Qi has been absorbed by the divine tree, but even the leaked strands are enough to nourish the rice seeds, allowing them to take root and sprout into wheat fields without any water or fertilization.

With this action, it seemed as if Shen Yuan was clearly engaged in farming.

However, these are just insignificant episodes. After preparing for many years with unwavering persistence, the divine tree, due to the Earth’s arterial energy, has grown into a towering colossal tree now.

If it weren’t for the fact that the demon spirituality had already been erased, the demon born from it would inevitably have the strength comparable to a Spirit Refining True Being.

Atop the divine tree, the originally green buds have bloomed and fruited, with a fruit hanging on each side of the divine tree.

The right fruit, flawless and orange in color, resembles the fledgling Great Sun, while the white fruit on the left exudes an icy aura, appearing like the Cold Season Moon.

The true meaning of the sun and moon, are being hidden by the Primal Chaos Eight-Trigrams Array Formation and the Earth Arteries Great Array Formation, which connects the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Otherwise, it would have attracted the attention of the mighty demon long ago.

Remember, when Shen Yuan exposed the Qi of Zhuming Chengye and Suimu Tianhan, he immediately attracted the demon, not to mention the fledgling Sun-Moon Fruit now.

As soon as it is exposed, the demon will certainly spare no effort to destroy the divine tree.

Shen Yuan flew onto the divine tree, reached out his palm, and gently touched the orange Sun Fruit. As soon as he held it, he felt a warm sensation filled with vitality and brightness, which was vastly different from the twilight radiance from the Dusk Eyes.

The Sun Fruit seemed to have a spirituality of its own and actively rubbed against Shen Yuan’s palm like a small pet trying to please him.

Shen Yuan playfully teased the fruit, but then the branches of the divine tree started to shake, and the surrounding temperature began to drop.

Shen Yuan turned to look, only to see cold air constantly spreading around the spherical Cold Season Fruit, which seemed to express feelings of displeasure and grievance.

Shen Yuan was taken aback, he turned to gently touch the Cold Season Fruit, comforting the little guy inside it.

The Cold Season Fruit felt icy to the touch, but there was no bone-chilling cold; facing Shen Yuan’s touch, it was intentionally restraining its cold aura.

With his index finger gently stroking the surface of the fruit, Shen Yuan said in a slightly deep voice:

“Even though you two are the sun and moon that I nurtured for this world, under the incomplete rules, I can only weave part of the core rules and let you adapt to this world and evolve on your own.

I’m not sure whether the sun and moon, which originally had no life, expressing emotions like living creatures, is a good or a bad thing.”

It seemed as if the Cold Season Fruit heard Shen Yuan’s words and started to shake its round body, as if trying to comfort Shen Yuan, while the Sun Fruit next to it also started to willingly release sunlight, its warm rays shrouding Shen Yuan, subtly alleviating his anxiety.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but smile:

“Let it be, it’s just me overthinking.

You two have been born to save the world, how the future will be, is a choice of this world, and also a choice of your own.”

Letting go of the Cold Season Fruit in his hand, Shen Yuan looked past the towering tree above his head, his gaze fixed on the increasingly bright Dusk Eyes.

“If I had ten more years, I would have had an absolute grasp of dragging that demon from the Celestial Vault to the Earth.

Regrettably, we are running out of time.”

Shen Yuan understood very clearly that his easy task of organizing the arteries of the Earth and nurturing the sun and moon over the past ten years, apart from his own concealment methods, was mainly due to the four Spirit Refining True Beings drawing the attention of that demon for him.

Ji Zhaoyang laid down the Human Dao Fate, Yu Ke and He Zhen established Sects and amassed followers, and Dong Youzi subdued the demons of Dajiang Mountain; each one having a significant impact on the overall situation.

As long as the demon wasn’t blind, its focus would inevitably be on them.

Moreover, due to the efforts of these four people, they temporarily suppressed the strength and foundation of the demon and, consequently, concealed the impact of Shen Yuan’s nurturing of the sun and moon. The changing momentum of Heaven and Earth made it difficult for the demon to identify the source, hence, Shen Yuan could grow quietly.

However, unexpectedly, all four Spirit Refining True Beings returned to the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda and three Great Demon Kings of the Return-to-Void Stage emerged after their failures.

As the momentum of Heaven and Earth all returned to the demon, its control over Heaven and Earth greatly increased.

Under such circumstances, it was only a matter of time before the demon noticed the sun and moon nurtured by the divine tree.

…

Mu Kingdom.

The capital of Mu Kingdom was already destroyed in the previous war, leaving only ruins. The once magnificent Human Dao Fate is now like a candle in the wind. Grieving citizens and dead bodies litter the ground of the ruins.

The Great Celestial Hound sits atop the ruins while beneath him are the surviving nobles of Mu Kingdom from the battlefield.

They had witnessed the scene where the Great Celestial Hound broke through the Return-to-Void Stage and defeated Ji Zhaoyang with his realm suppressions—a scene where he could destroy a whole country with a single move—making a deep impression on them.
