The king sighed slowly, his tone a little low.
"The sacred tree of the dragon clan is a well-deserved divine object, but you only have a branch in your hand. With that little healing principle, you can't heal my wounds."
“I was invited by Wu Chen and Gui Zhi to travel from the human race to the Treeman Kingdom. I can’t just leave like this without doing anything, right
Since I have received Wu Chen's deposit, I will naturally try my best."
The king thought about it for a moment and finally decided not to reject Wu Chen and Gui Zhi's filial piety.
"Well, since you won't give up, why don't you take a good look at my old bones?"
"Offended."
After getting permission, Xu Chunniang released her spiritual sense and carefully explored every part of the giant white tree, not wanting to miss a single leaf.
Half an hour later, she withdrew her consciousness, and a solemn look appeared in her eyes.
Before, she had only taken a cursory look and saw the wounds on the surface. After a careful inspection, she discovered that the roots in the soil were 90% rotten, and were entangled with cause and effect resentment.
It is indeed difficult to cure these chronic diseases.
A divine thought came from the king, his tone indifferent.
"How about it? After seeing the injuries on my body, do you still have confidence?"
Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment and said, "I dare not touch the causal resentment in the roots for the time being, so I will start with the branches and leaves first."
As she spoke, she took out a small branch and injected a large amount of spiritual energy into it.
The small branch slowly inhaled all the spiritual energy, transformed it into a pure healing law, and fell on some branches and leaves of the white giant tree.
After absorbing this healing law, the leaves became refreshed and regained some vitality.
Unfortunately, the white ancient tree was too huge, and the branches and leaves she healed were less than one percent of the entire ancient tree.
"It's useless. Don't waste your energy."
The king's tone was calm, as if he had already seen through life and death.
"You are only treating the symptoms and not the root cause. If you don't remove the karma and resentment, these branches and leaves will be like trees without roots and duckweed without water. Sooner or later, they will all die."
"Isn't it too early to draw a conclusion now?"
As Xu Chunniang spoke, she walked towards the only intact root system, put away the twigs, and summoned the Twin Magic Domains.
The king saw her plan and seemed to be thinking about something.
In order to heal her wounds, she once used the Fountain of Life to water the injured and rotten roots, but the effect was minimal and she also wasted a lot of the Fountain of Life.
Later, she slowly gave up the idea.
This famous cultivator seemed ready to send the laws of life into those roots in her body that were still intact.
Xu Chunniang’s idea was very simple. The king was seriously injured, and 90% of his roots were eroded by the causal resentment.
These karmic resentments are difficult to eliminate, and if you are accidentally contaminated by them, they may bring disaster upon yourself.
If you want to save her life, you can only start with the remaining tenth of the roots and protect those intact roots from the entanglement of cause and effect resentment.
She activated the twin domains of law, condensed the law of birth, and sent it into the intact root system under her feet.
After absorbing these laws of life, these roots seemed to have drunk a tonic and grew several tiny roots.
"Well, it does feel a little better. But this method can only prolong my life and allow me to live a few more days."
The king's attitude softened a little.
"Really? What about this?"
Xu Chunniang smiled slightly, put away the Twin Magic Domains, and pointed at a thumb-sized rotten root next to her.
All the spiritual energy in her body was suddenly drained away, and a large amount of the laws of the void condensed and fell onto this small piece of root system.
In just one or two breaths, this section of root system was completely transformed into nothingness by the Law of Void, along with the causal and resentful forces on it.
Feeling that a small part of the rotten roots in his body had disappeared, the king was shocked and felt an incredible sense of absurdity.
She had tried before to cut off the rotten roots, but the karmic resentment entangled in them could not be cut off at all.
She didn't expect that a mere human cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage could do something that even she couldn't do.
But after the shock, her mood quickly calmed down.
There are countless roots in her body, and the karmic resentment is extremely difficult to deal with. Even if a small section is cut off, it won't make much sense.
Since she practiced the law of cause and effect, she should have known that death in accordance with the calamity was her destiny.
A trace of disappointment flashed through the king's mind, and then he said calmly, "I admit that you have some ability. If you have the cultivation level of the fusion stage, you may be able to help me heal my injuries.
But the gap between you and me is too big, so we are working twice as hard but achieving half the result."
"Your Majesty is right, but I am only doing what I should do. From now on, I will come to heal your wounds every other day."
Xu Chunniang bowed, said goodbye, and turned to leave.
On the way back, Wu Chen and Gui Zhi had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing that it was a strange female cultivator who came back, the two were shocked at first, then surrounded her and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into my treeman kingdom?"
Xu Chunniang clasped her fists and bowed, then confessed.
"To be honest, I am Xu Dahai. I have offended the seven great families in the human race before, so I had to disguise myself to avoid disaster. I did not intentionally deceive you two."
Wu Chen and Gui Zhi looked at each other, somewhat doubtful.
"Could it be that you are the female cultivator who caused the Meng family to issue a ban and seal off the city, Xu Chunniang?"
"I'm good."
Wu Chen's face suddenly turned ugly.
"So your so-called ancestral sacred tree is also fake? You deliberately spread those rumors in order to lure us into the trap so that we can take you away from the human race!"
Guizhi's eyes turned unfriendly when she looked at Xu Chunniang.
Wu Chen was right, the human cultivators were indeed good at calculating!
"I admit that I used you two to take me away from the human race, but it is true that I am carrying the sacred tree, and the laws I have comprehended can suppress the injuries of your king!"
Wu Chen's face was filled with anger. "Are you serious? Can you really suppress the king's injury?"
"Whether it's true or not, you can ask your king later and you'll know, right
Since she let me go, it means I am not a liar. Think about it carefully. Your king is a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Would she be deceived by me?"
Wu Chen and Gui Zhi thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
He pondered for a moment and said, "As long as you can heal the king's injury, I can forgive you for what happened. However, you should have only offended the Meng family, not the seven great families, right?"
"The Meng family is just a family that stands out in the open. Perhaps in their eyes, the Meng family alone is enough to crush me to death."
Xu Chunniang's tone was indifferent, but there was a cold light in her eyes. Sooner or later, she would demand reimbursement from the seven great families!
Guizhi was not interested in these things. The only thing she cared about was the king's injury.
"You just said that the law you comprehended can suppress the injuries on the king's body? How exactly do you suppress it?"
