Chapter 266: The King of Trees appears in the cave!

Bi Hu Mountain.

Inside the manor hall.

“Ru Yin has been troubling Mountain Lord Lu these past few days.”

Xu Renguang said politely to Lu Changsheng.

He had just arrived at Centipede Ridge when he heard from the Zheng family that his precious granddaughter had gone to Bi Hu Mountain to stay temporarily.

Upon hearing this news, he was terrified and rushed to Bi Hu Mountain to bring his precious granddaughter back.

After all, he had also heard of Lu Changsheng’s great name.

Besides being born as a son-in-law of Green Bamboo Mountain, becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator, a talisman master, single-handedly suppressing three Foundation Establishment cultivators, and establishing the Lu family of Bi Hu Mountain.

There was also one point that people talked about with relish: his enthusiasm for marrying wives and having children.

In his twenties, he had more than fifty wives and concubines, and more than one hundred and fifty children, directly creating a family all by himself.

So, upon hearing that his granddaughter had run to Bi Hu Mountain, he was afraid that Lu Changsheng would make a move on his granddaughter.

He couldn’t imagine what kind of relationship might develop between the two of them.

“Fellow Daoist Xu is too polite.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

“Grandpa.”

At this moment, Lu Miaoyun and Xu Ruyin arrived at the hall.

Xu Renguang glared at his granddaughter unhappily, then stood up and cupped his hands, saying, “Mountain Lord Lu, this old man still has matters to attend to, so I won’t stay long. I’ll take my leave now.”

“If Mountain Lord Lu has time in the future, you are welcome to visit my Xu family at any time.”

After saying that, he left the gifts and took his granddaughter Xu Ruyin to bid farewell and leave Bi Hu Mountain.

“Fellow Daoist Xu, take care.”

Lu Changsheng saw the two off at the mountain gate.

But looking at the other party’s expression of relief and haste in taking his granddaughter away, he felt a sense of inexplicable insult.

I kindly took in your granddaughter, who harbors ulterior motives, and you still look at me like that. Don’t you trust my, Lu’s, character?

“Yun’er, have you and Xiaowan sensed any problems while interacting with this Miss Xu these past few days?”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Miaoyun and asked.

“There are no problems. Apart from going out for a boat ride on the lake, Miss Xu has spent the rest of her time cultivating in her room.”

Lu Miaoyun shook her head slightly and said, “Husband, what’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing, I just feel that this Miss Xu has some issues.”

Lu Changsheng said casually.

“Problems?”

Lu Miaoyun’s face showed a thoughtful expression.

But after thinking for a long time, she couldn’t recall any problems with this Miss Xu.

If there was a problem, it was that she didn’t show as much interest in her husband as Xiaowan had said.

After all, according to Xiaowan, this Miss Xu was likely to have developed affection for her husband.

But now that she had come to Bi Hu Mountain, she hadn’t revealed much of anything these past few days.

Six days later.

The summit of Bi Yun Peak.

“Inverted Five Elements Formation, activate!”

After Ling Zixiao placed the formation flags and formation plate, she came to the formation eye and channeled incantations into the formation plate.

“Buzz—”

The next moment, the formation flags around the peak fluttered, and beams of light appeared. As spiritual energy surged, a five-colored glazed pillar formed.

“Husband, the formation is ready. You can try it out.”

Ling Zixiao said to Lu Changsheng.

“Okay.”

Lu Changsheng transformed into a stream of light and flew out of the mountain peak.

He saw the five-colored glazed pillar flowing around the mountain peak, gradually fading away and transforming into a hazy white mist.

The white mist flowed, and the mountain peak reappeared, but the entire mountain peak was empty. Ling Zixiao, Xiao Xiyue, and the Hall of Longevity were all gone.

Lu Changsheng circulated his magic power to his eyes, wanting to see through the formation and understand the situation inside.

But there were layers of mist that obscured his vision.

He could only roughly see that the scene before him was an illusion, but he couldn’t see the details inside.

When he used his divine sense to investigate the situation, he felt an invisible barrier blocking his divine sense.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng flew back to the mountain peak.

The scenery of the mountain peak, the trees, were like a real scene, with a real touch.

Lu Changsheng tried to find the aura of Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xiyue, but he couldn’t sense them.

“So this is the power of the formation. It seems that I still need to understand some formations in the future.”

“Otherwise, if I enter some formation, I might be trapped to death inside.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

However, despite what he said, he currently had two methods to break formations.

One was to break the formation with a Restriction Breaking Talisman.

The other was the eighth divine power of his Nine Treasures As-You-Wish Bone, the Restriction Breaking Divine Light, which could break all kinds of formations and restrictions.

Lu Changsheng wandered around the mountain peak twice, but no matter what, he couldn’t enter the true summit of Bi Yun Peak.

He nodded with satisfaction and said, “That’s enough, Zixiao.”

As soon as he finished speaking.

The scenery before him began to change, and Lu Changsheng saw that he was standing right in the center of the peak.

And Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xiyue were not far from him.

“How is it, Husband?”

Ling Zixiao held the formation plate and smiled faintly.

“Not bad. There are no problems with the illusion and bewilderment effects of this Inverted Five Elements Formation, but the magic power aura still needs to be tested.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

Immediately, he looked at Xiao Xiyue and said, “Xiyue, I will release my magic power aura later, see if you can sense it?”

“Okay.”

Xiao Xiyue nodded lightly in response.

“In that case, Fellow Daoist Xiao, I will activate the formation for you.”

Ling Zixiao said to Xiao Xiyue.

Then, she channeled magic power to operate the formation plate.

Lu Changsheng could clearly see that the spiritual energy in the peak’s formation was surging, and a five-colored glazed light was flowing, enveloping Xiao Xiyue.

“Changsheng, it’s ready.”

Xiao Xiyue said.

She was dressed in a moon-white dress, her face was cold and calm, and she looked in the direction of Lu Changsheng, her beautiful eyes were like the bright moon in the sky, pure and calm.

“Okay.”

Lu Changsheng heard this, and the magic power in his dantian surged.

The magic power of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, blessed by the Profound Origin Pearl, surged like a滔滔river, and a spiritual pressure unique to the late-Foundation Establishment stage permeated his body.

“This—”

Ling Zixiao looked at this scene, couldn’t help but be stunned, and her beautiful eyes revealed a look of surprise.

She knew that Lu Changsheng had broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage on the way back from Nine Heavens Immortal City.

But at this time, the spiritual pressure fluctuations around Lu Changsheng’s body far exceeded the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and reached the late-Foundation Establishment stage.

“Xiyue, can you sense my magic power aura?”

Lu Changsheng asked Xiao Xiyue.

“Husband, Fellow Daoist Xiao can’t hear your voice now.”

Ling Zixiao said, and then pinched a magic formula and relayed it to Xiao Xiyue.

“Changsheng, I can’t sense your magic power spiritual pressure, but I can sense your location in the dark.”

Xiao Xiyue said.

“In the dark, can sense my location?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow when he heard this.

He thought, there is such an operation.

“Husband, do you and Fellow Daoist Xiao have any means of contact?”

“Currently, the formation mainly has three effects: concealment, illusion, and bewilderment. If you and Fellow Daoist Xiao are both in the formation, if there are any treasures, you can still sense each other’s existence.”

Ling Zixiao immediately said to Lu Changsheng.

“Means of contact, treasures?”

Lu Changsheng subconsciously took out a Yin-Yang Induction Talisman.

But the next moment, he guessed what was going on.

Dao Foundation!

When he condensed the Dao Foundation, he used Xiao Xiyue’s Taiyin Moon Essence as the foundation to condense it.

So there is a inexplicable connection between the two.

It is also for this reason that the effect of his dual cultivation with Xiao Xiyue far exceeds that of others.

Now that he didn’t have the jade pendant to conceal his aura, and he was operating his magic power spiritual pressure to the extreme, the two were not far apart, so Xiao Xiyue could sense him in the dark through the Dao Foundation.

“It’s okay, this doesn’t affect it.”

Lu Changsheng said, and then his mind moved slightly, and he operated the Nine Treasures As-You-Wish Bone: “Nine Treasures As-You-Wish—Qi!”

“Boom!”

In an instant, Lu Changsheng’s dantian magic power was like a river bursting its banks, a volcano erupting, surging, and the spiritual pressure around his body was rising steadily.

This spiritual pressure aura made Ling Zixiao next to him feel a pressure.

“This—”

Ling Zixiao looked at Lu Changsheng in front of her, her beautiful eyes were full of disbelief.

Lu Changsheng’s exhibition of the late-Foundation Establishment spiritual pressure had already surprised her.

But now, the other party’s spiritual pressure aura was still rising, almost surpassing the Foundation Establishment stage.

It made her feel that the surrounding air was heavy and solidified, making it difficult to breathe.

“Contracted a Rank Three Demon King, mid-Foundation Establishment, displaying spiritual pressure almost surpassing the peak of Foundation Establishment.”

At this moment, Ling Zixiao simply didn’t know what to say about Lu Changsheng.

After so many years together, she thought she had already seen a corner of Lu Changsheng’s iceberg.

But now, she felt that Lu Changsheng was once again shrouded in mist, just like in the beginning.

Even if Lu Changsheng said he was a reincarnation of a great power, a reincarnation of a true immortal, she would believe it.

“Zixiao.”

Lu Changsheng slightly restrained the spiritual pressure directed at Ling Zixiao and called out to her.

He wanted her to ask Xiao Xiyue if she could sense any mana aura.

After Ling Zixiao inquired, Xiao Xiyue said that she didn’t feel any mana aura.

“Good, that works.”

Lu Changsheng laughed loudly upon hearing this.

He stopped the effect of the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone, and his aura suddenly plummeted, leaving him feeling empty.

“Changsheng.”

Xiao Xiyue’s clear and cold eyes, like the moon, softened a bit when she looked at Lu Changsheng.

In the next moment, she said with some surprise: “Changsheng, you’ve already broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage?”

She and Lu Changsheng had broken through to Foundation Establishment together.

But she had only recently broken through to the third level of Foundation Establishment.

And Lu Changsheng had actually reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, which surprised her greatly.

“I had some fortuitous encounters before.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and said casually.

Xiao Xiyue didn’t say much.

After all, compared to Lu Changsheng’s various other things, the cultivation of mid-Foundation Establishment seemed less astonishing.

“Since there are no problems, Zixiao, I will release the Tree King now, you two stay away.”

Lu Changsheng said to Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xiyue.

“Okay.”

The two women nodded and came to the Changsheng Hall, also looking forward to and curious about what the Demon King contracted by Lu Changsheng looked like.

Even though they were both knowledgeable, they had never been in close contact with such a Demon King.

“Extract.”

Lu Changsheng’s mind stirred slightly as he looked at the Sumeru Tree King in the system.

In the next moment.

“Boom!”

A towering ancient tree, several dozen feet tall and slender, appeared.

The ancient tree was like gold and jade, with a glistening brilliance flowing, and wisps of auspicious energy rising from the roots, appearing very sacred.

The leaves of the crown were very peculiar, some were bright gold, some were crystal clear like jade, and some were emerald green, filled with rich fragrance and divine light.

As it swayed gently, it seemed that Buddhist chants rang out, making people feel peaceful.

After the Sumeru Tree King appeared, auspicious energy surged throughout the mountain peak, like a vast ocean, almost filling the entire Biyun Peak summit, revealing strands of vast aura.

“This is the Rank Three Tree King contracted by Langjun (Changsheng)?”

Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xiyue both looked at the Sumeru Tree King with surprise and astonishment.

Even though they didn’t know what kind of tree demon it was.

Just looking at its appearance, they knew that this was not an ordinary Rank Three demon plant.

They would also believe it if it was some kind of rare heaven and earth spirit plant.

Because the appearance of the Sumeru Tree King was too extraordinary.

“Master.”

A clear and pure voice sounded.

This voice was soft and beautiful, ethereal and pure, like a compassionate immortal sound, able to easily soothe the restlessness in others’ hearts, and even allow sinful people to lay down their butcher knives and repent in pain.

This ‘master’ made Lu Changsheng’s heart ripple slightly.

He didn’t expect the Sumeru Tree King’s voice to be so pleasant, and if it transformed, its appearance would probably not be bad.

He knew that the Sumeru Tree King was asking him if it could take root here.

With the Sumeru Tree King’s current situation, it could move briefly.

“Let’s just do it here, the palace takes up too much space, you can directly receive it into the Sumeru Space.”

“But be careful not to damage the formation of the mountain peak.”

Lu Changsheng pondered slightly and said to the Sumeru Tree King.

After extracting the Sumeru Tree King, he had a detailed understanding of the Sumeru Tree King in front of him.

Early stage of Rank Three cultivation, a cave dwelling is formed within the body, nurturing a world.

This world can accommodate people, objects, and monsters, or be used for planting, etc.

Moreover, the Sumeru Tree King can actively bring people or objects into the Sumeru Cave Heaven.

This is also one of the Sumeru Tree King’s methods.

When encountering enemies, they can be suppressed and imprisoned in the Sumeru Cave Heaven.

After speaking, he pulled Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xiyue aside.

“Yes, Master.”

The clear and pure voice sounded, and then a golden divine light fell, shining on the Changsheng Hall.

Immediately, the huge palace disappeared directly in front of the three people, leaving only an open space.

“Langjun, does this Tree King senior have void powers?”

Ling Zixiao asked Lu Changsheng.

“That’s right, its name is Sumeru, and it has a cave heaven within its body, nurturing a world. We can live directly in this cave heaven in the future.”

Lu Changsheng said.

Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xiyue looked at each other without speaking.

The shock Lu Changsheng gave them today was too great.

Before, they thought that the Tree King contracted by Lu Changsheng was just an ordinary Rank Three Demon King.

But now, after seeing the Sumeru Tree King, they knew that their thoughts were too simple.

Thinking about it, it was true, it could be so valued by Lu Changsheng.

Even the formation had to be used to conceal it, how could it be just an ordinary Rank Three Demon King.

However, Lu Changsheng generously showed this Tree King in front of them, also making them feel trusted.

After the Sumeru Tree King directly received the Changsheng Hall into the Sumeru Space, it began to take root on the top of Biyun Peak.

The crystal clear, bucket-thick golden roots spurted out with vigorous vitality and brilliant light, slowly entering the mountain, drawing the spiritual energy of the Biyun Peak spiritual veins.

After a long time, the Sumeru Tree King completed its rooting.

The crystal clear brilliance flowing on its tree body gradually subsided, like a golden towering ancient tree, standing on the top of Biyun Peak.

“Sumeru.”

Lu Changsheng brought Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xiyue to the front of the Sumeru Tree King and called out.

“Shua—”

In the next moment, a golden light door appeared in front of them.

The three walked into the light door, as if passing through a layer of water curtain, entering the Sumeru Tree King’s inner cave heaven.

Lu Changsheng looked at the scene in the cave heaven.

From the range, it was only about one or two miles in radius, with mountains, rocks, and trees, but it was like a barren land, with only a lonely Changsheng Hall.

In the sky above the cave heaven and at the end of the surroundings, it was a hazy gray, in a state of not yet evolving.

After all, the Sumeru Tree King was only Rank Three.

Although there was a world within its body, this world was still in the nurturing stage.

Only when the strength came up could it truly evolve into a small world.

There was spiritual energy in the air, but it was very thin, only a little better than the secular world, not as good as a Rank One spiritual vein.

“It seems that it still needs to be transformed well.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the situation in front of him and stroked his chin.

Although people could live there now, in his opinion, the conditions were really a bit poor.

This would be his true core base in the future, so naturally it had to be built well.

“Master, please speak.”

The Sumeru Tree King’s voice sounded, soft and pure, making people feel peaceful.

It said that it could consume energy to make some improvements to this world.

“Wouldn’t it take much energy to grow some grass and trees around the palace?”

Lu Changsheng asked the Sumeru Tree King.

He knew that if the Sumeru Tree King wanted to do anything in the cave heaven, it would consume spiritual energy, even its origin.

“Yes, Master.”

The Sumeru Tree King replied.

In an instant, golden spots appeared in all directions, making the surroundings of the Changsheng Hall vibrant, and green grass grew.

“It looks much better this way.”

Lu Changsheng nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.

Then, his mind stirred slightly, and he looked at the Spirit Eye Spring in his system space.

“Extract!”
