After three hours, Ye Xiangyang, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes, and the whole space suddenly became bright.
At the same time, Ye Xiangyang's brothers and sisters also opened their eyes.
The battle with the ancient formation brought a lot of gains. Everyone obtained a space formed by one hundred and twenty laws, which trained their ability of telepathy. Their Black Snake Swallowing the Sky formation was initially formed.
After three hours of practice, these spaces were rearranged and became real energies of one's own.
It was time to go to the ancient tree of life in the Wood Tribe. The chief of the Wood Tribe said that not everyone could go this time. The three holy places, six sects, twelve sects, ten halls of the demon race, and ten ancient races that could go... one person from each force could go. Even with this control of the number of people, it was still a huge team of nearly a hundred people.
For these people, a journey of tens of millions of miles is just a blink of an eye.
After passing through layers of space, we arrived at the place where the Wood Tribe was.
After opening one layer of formation after another, people finally arrived at the place where the ancient tree of life of the Mu tribe was.
The ancient tree of life was so huge, about three hundred feet high and a hundred acres in size, with huge leaves about ten feet square. The mottled and rugged bark was so old that the grooves on it were big enough for a person to hide inside.
When you come to this place, you will feel a surge of vitality. This energy makes your gastrointestinal tract, liver, spleen, kidneys and all your internal organs feel extremely comfortable. It is truly a treasure that is a treasure from heaven and earth.
Heavenly plant, the tree of life.
Ye Xiangyang saw that nearly one-third of the leaves on the Life Fruit Tree had turned yellow, which meant that the tree's vitality was fading.
Ye Xiangyang felt that the Fire Phoenix Ice Phoenix Fruit Tree seedling in his Dantian curled up, not daring to make any noise. The Heavenly Grade Treasure already had its own consciousness, able to seek good fortune and avoid danger. It seemed that this ancient tree of life had its own majesty.
Ye Xiangyang's spiritual power enveloped the entire tree.
The chief of the Wood Tribe said, "This ancient tree of life blooms once every three hundred years, bears fruit once every three hundred years, and matures once every three hundred years. Each time it bears fruit, there are thirty-six of them, and it only produces thirty-six fruits in a thousand years."
"Since tens of thousands of years ago, the vitality of this tree has declined, and each time it produces only about twenty fruits."
Ye Xiangyang nodded. He saw that there was nothing wrong with the tree. If there was a problem, it should be at the root of the tree.
Ye Xiangyang took out the talisman for entering the earth. He tapped the ground with the talisman, and the ground slowly loosened and melted, turning into water waves, khaki-colored water waves.
This is a trick. The ancients said: The talent of a gentleman is like jade and pearls, which cannot be known to others. Ye Xiangyang is certainly not stupid enough to let others know that he can do tricks at this time. Is he kidding
As the talisman entered the ground and dissolved the land, the process was very slow.
It is precisely because it is so slow that people feel at ease. Otherwise, many sects' large formations would not be able to affect the underground, and many people would probably be secretly vigilant.
Ye Xiangyang's Xuanwu bloodline slowly took effect on the talisman, a little faster than before.
His body slowly sank, and his mental power connected with every root system underground. He was slowly checking whether there was any problem with the root system.
Ten feet deep, no problem; a hundred feet deep, no problem; until we went down to a depth of more than two hundred feet, we found that the roots here had been bitten off by something.
Ye Xiangyang observed carefully, and asked Xuanwu and other spirit weapons, as well as Tianmihan Wang, to identify it together.
It is true that these roots were bitten off, and there are also animals here absorbing nutrients from the ancient tree of life.
It is impossible for these roots to solidify.
What kind of monster could hide three hundred feet under the ground? This is a place that even the Emperor finds difficult to reach. The deeper you go underground, the greater the pressure. Living at such a depth for a long time, the energy consumption must be incalculable.
Ye Xiangyang hid in the Nine-Cornered Black Tortoise Cauldron. He decided to wait and see what kind of animal could devour the energy of the Ancient Tree of Life so deep underground.
After a while, he saw an ant that seemed to be the size of a plate. The mouth in front of the ant was very prominent, and a fierce aura was blowing towards him.
Ye Xiangyang, who had read many medical books, had his mind working rapidly and finally remembered what kind of monster this was. It was the legendary soul-eating ant.
The Soul-Eating Ant is a monster with many magical uses, and it is an extremely magical monster. According to the secret book of the Danding Divine Sect, very few people in the Xuanwu Continent can discover this magical monster. Being able to obtain this monster will have countless benefits for one's future development.
The soul-eating ant is so magical that it appears suddenly and leaves no trace of movement at all.
One, two, hundreds, thousands, wow, more than five thousand soul-eating ants appeared all of a sudden.
Five thousand soul-eating ants, five thousand soul-eating ants as big as plates, continuously devouring the Ancient Tree of Life. How could it not cause his vitality to decline
Ye Xiangyang quietly cast a bit of his mental power over a soul-eating ant and waited quietly inside the Nine-Angled Black Tortoise Cauldron, fearing that he would accidentally scare the soul-eating ants and cause them to hide, making it harder than climbing to the sky to find them.
After about an hour, the Soul-Eating Ants had eaten their fill of the sap from the Ancient Tree of Life and disappeared one after another.
Ye Xiangyang could feel that the nest of these soul-eating ants was actually thousands of miles away.
My God, these soul-eating ants must be so cautious. I didn't alert them. Otherwise, they would hide in the void and lie dormant for thousands of years, which would be really troublesome. With that soul-eating ant, I have already determined the location of their nest.
Ye Xiangyang recorded the scene of the soul-eating ants swallowing the juice with a jade token. This was the evidence he had found.
Of course, Ye Xiangyang also cut off a piece of tree roots, which can be used to cultivate an ancient tree of life in the Nine-Angled Black Tortoise Cauldron.
Some people have been waiting outside for three days and are becoming impatient.
"Hehe, Chief of the Mu Tribe, it seems that Ye Xiangyang can't find the reason why this tree is sick. Why does it take so long to find the cause?" Someone said with a sneer.
"That's right. If he gets under the tree, not only will he not be able to find the cause of the tree's illness, but he might even affect the tree. Your tribe will suffer more losses than gains."
"Hehe, he can cure the disease of this heavenly fruit tree, what a joke, maybe after he checked it, the tree's disease might get worse. It's not surprising."
Xiang Yixue stared at them coldly and said, "Don't make sarcastic remarks here. Whether Ye Xiangyang can cure this ancient tree of life or not, at least he is trying hard to find a cure. This ancient tree of life has been sick for more than one or two years, or even a hundred or two hundred years. If you have the guts to sow discord here, why don't you do it yourself?"
"Let's not talk about anything else. Just talking about the Fire Phoenix Ice Phoenix Fruit Tree that our Fire Phoenix Clan had back then, it was also a Heaven Grade Fruit Tree. Ye Xiangyang completely cured that ancient tree by treating it at the root."
The elder of Yuhua Zhen Palace also said: "If anyone makes trouble here, don't blame us at Yuhua Zhen Palace for being rude."
"Oh, oh, you don't even allow others to say a few words. Yuhua Palace is so overbearing, then in the future, when your Yuhua Palace grows stronger, will you still allow us to grow on Xuanwu Continent?"
This is instigation, this is creating hatred.
"The clear will be clear, the turbid will be turbid. If Ye Xiangyang has the ability to heal the Ancient Tree of Life, we will naturally have nothing to say. But now, he is clearly wasting all of our time?"
"Don't let the deafness be cured and the person become mute, or the Mu tribe will cry."
At this time, Ye Xiangyang's voice came out: "Who said that I cured the deaf and caused dumbness? I found the cause of this tree's disease."
The chief of the Mu tribe's heart was pounding, and he was at a loss as to what to do after being provoked. He was just about to speak up to cancel the bet, but he knew that if he had destroyed his ancient tree of life during the treatment, he would be the eternal sinner of the Mu tribe, and he would never be able to wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
When he heard Ye Xiangyang's words, it was as if he had eaten an ice cream in the dog days of summer, and he felt cool from the inside out: "City Lord Ye, have you really found the reason?"
Ye Xiangyang took out the jade token and applied the mysterious power to it. Then everyone saw thousands of soul-eating ants gnawing at the roots of the Life Fruit Tree. Others did not know the roots of the Ancient Life Tree, but how could the Wood Clan leader not know? He immediately understood that it was these ant-like monsters that devoured his fruit trees that caused the consequences.
The damage caused by one ant is not great, but with millions of ants devouring day and night, even if the Ancient Tree of Life is a heavenly treasure, it will not be able to survive. It must be lack of energy and become withered.
The clan leader took Ye Xiangyang's hand and said gratefully: "City Lord Ye, thank you for finding the disease. If you can cure the disease, I am willing to give you two Life Fruits."
Those who had ridiculed Ye Xiangyang just now felt as if they had been slapped in the face. They were all masters of the Emperor, and their attempt to sow discord just now had not succeeded. It was a failure for them.
Ye Xiangyang nodded: "Chief, this kind of monster is the extremely rare Soul Devouring Ant in our Xuanwu Continent. This monster is very strange. If you alert them, they will hide in the illusion and can hide for thousands of years. So, I will help you catch this nest of Soul Devouring Ants, and then inject life energy into you from the Ancient Tree of Life. In less than three days, you will see the effect."
The chief of the Mu tribe was really excited. His tribe had been unable to solve a problem for such a long time, but Ye Xiangyang had discovered it and found a solution. It was really great.
He reached out and grabbed Ye Xiangyang's hand, his hands were shaking: "City Lord Ye, as long as you can cure our ancient tree of life, you will be the benefactor of our Mu tribe."
The Ancient Tree of Life is the foundation of their tribe's prosperity. Due to the weak life energy of the ancient tree, they no longer dare to practice near the ancient tree. As a result, their tribe suffered losses and fell slightly behind other tribes.
Ye Xiangyang moved and disappeared in front of everyone.
He has arrived at the space where the soul-eating ants are located.
Ye Xiangyang was still in the Nine-Angled Black Tortoise Cauldron and did not appear. He was afraid that his appearance would scare away these soul-eating ants. Once the soul-eating ants hid in the void space, how could he wait and search for them for thousands of years
Ye Xiangyang activated the Nine-Angled Black Tortoise Cauldron. This huge cauldron could turn into nothingness. Even the ghost clan’s formation and heavenly treasures could not be detected, let alone this group of soul-eating ants.
Ye Xiangyang did not touch any of the soul-eating ants. He wanted to go into the deepest part of the cave to find their ant king.
