Passing through the invisible barrier, Jiang Yuebai was teleported to a floating island.
The red earth, raging flames like waves, and a hot breath filled the air. A pitch-black tree stood in the center of the floating island of fire, and the tree was covered with orange-red flame-like leaves.
"Endless Wood?"
Jiang Yuebai recognized the tree as the demon king of the current plant clan.
The everlasting tree grows in hot places. It burns in April every year and goes out in November. The fire will never be extinguished.
The environment here made Jiang Yuebai very uncomfortable. The vines and leaves all over his body were curled up and he felt like he was about to be burned dry.
The leaves on the endless tree trembled, and Jiang Yuebai was carried under the endless tree by a force. As she got closer to the tree, she felt cool and refreshed all over.
The orange-red leaves fell from the tree and floated down onto Jiang Yuebai's brow. In an instant, her whole body was ablaze with the same fire as the Endless Wood, and the divine consciousness of the Endless Wood was injected into her sea of consciousness.
Bujinmu told her that this was the second level of the sacred tree, and the real test was in the next three levels. To reach the top of the tree, one needed aptitude, perseverance, strength, and wisdom.
The first level is for screening qualifications, and the second level is for the little demons of each race to accept gifts from the demon king, helping them to gain certain advantages in the last three levels.
"It's for survival, and it's also in our nature. The internal fighting among the demons has existed since ancient times, and it's hard to stop. Little Xianzhi, focus on yourself, don't get involved in meaningless fighting, and keep growing towards the sky to get more sunlight and rain. This is your mission."
Without further ado, the endless flame on Jiang Yuebai's body slowly turned into an orange-red leaf in the crown of her head. A vine hung from the top of her head to in front of Jiang Yuebai, and the endless tree branches and leaves swayed, signaling her to hurry up and get on the road.
Jiang Yuebai touched the leaves on his head, and retracted his hand because of the burn. He called back the scattered green-armored bees and hid them among the white hair on his back. Jiang Yuebai grabbed the vines in front of him.
Boom!
Thunder roared in my ears, and the environment around me changed suddenly from hot to cold in an instant, and heavy rain hit my face.
The feeling of falling with nowhere to rest made Jiang Yuebai hold on to the vine tightly, swinging and spinning wildly in the storm.
It was pitch black all around, and she could see nothing except the vines swaying in the storm.
There was no visible trunk of the sacred tree, no visible floating island, endless darkness beneath the feet, and dark clouds above the head.
Lightning broke through the sky, illuminating the world. Jiang Yuebai saw many little demons showing off their magical powers and climbing up along their own vines.
Closest to her, a sky-swallowing frog kept wrapping its tongue around a vine as thick as a wrist, jumping upwards.
And the dragon carp we saw before was like a fish in water in the storm. It used magic to gather the water around the vines and swim upstream.
Further away, Jiang Yuebai saw a strange man from the Sand Scorpion Kingdom. He had a scorpion tail curled up and was climbing by holding vines with two scorpion pincers.
roar!
The black mountain tiger suddenly jumped out from the darkness and bit off the sand scorpion alien's arm in one bite.
“Ahhh!!”
Screams resounded throughout the world, blood mixed with heavy rain fell, and the Sand Scorpion fell into darkness, with his life or death uncertain.
The winged black mountain tiger glanced around provocatively, flapped its wings and rushed into the darkness above.
The Black Mountain Tiger is a descendant of Qiongqi and likes to eat humans. Any alien it encounters will probably not be able to escape.
Jiang Yuebai didn't dare to delay. Her arms turned into white vines and coiled around the vines of the sacred tree. Her transformed demon body was as light as a leaf. She did not resist the raging wind, but swayed in the rainstorm with its force. This way she could save more demon energy. These were what she learned during her time living in Wanmu Forest.
On the way up, screams could be heard from above or under your feet from time to time, and little monsters would fall down from time to time. The lucky ones would be able to grab a vine and continue, while the unlucky ones would knock other unlucky ones down.
Jiang Yuebai climbed with her head down, using camouflage magic to turn herself into a vine-like protective color. There was a strange force in the air that made her body feel heavier the higher she climbed, and even her spiritual power was gradually suppressed.
This place is dangerous, it's best to leave quickly.
The cold was getting stronger and stronger, and the heavy rain turned into hail the size of soybeans. Jiang Yuebai tightened the leaves on the white vine to reduce contact with the hail. He saw two little demons falling from a great height, with blood on their bodies. He didn't know who attacked them.
They climbed like this for nearly two hours, and Jiang Yuebai changed vines several times to avoid a big battle.
From the time she started cultivating immortality until now, she felt a drowsiness that she hadn't felt for a long time, and it came over her in waves.
"Can't sleep!"
Jiang Yuebai slapped her face and felt a layer of frost. The green-armored bees were frozen into ice cubes and hung on her hair, and the vines under her hands also began to freeze.
Going further up, Jiang Yuebai saw the wolf-headed alien from the Night Wolf Country clinging to the vines tightly, and had been frozen into an ice sculpture.
He is already very powerful to be able to climb to such a high position, but I don’t know if he can be recognized by the sacred tree at this level. There is no rule for strangers to join the demon clan, it all depends on luck.
Jiang Yuebai shivered. The demonic body of Yunzhicao was different from her original body. It could gather fire spirit energy to keep warm...
"fire!"
Jiang Yuebai suddenly remembered the leaves that Bujinmu gave her. She directed her mind towards the leaves and warmth immediately spread throughout her body.
Her original protective color disappeared, and she turned into a white vine wrapped in flames, fearless of the wind and cold.
Jiang Yuebai transformed into a white-haired demon again. The flower crown on her head and the white vine wrapped around her right arm were surrounded by flames, illuminating a small area in the darkness and making her very conspicuous.
Jiang Yuebai glanced overhead. The dark clouds with lightning and thunder were getting closer and closer. That should be the boundary of the next level.
Several malicious auras emanated from the darkness. Anyone who could reach this height was not someone to be trifled with.
Jiang Yuebai used his hands and feet to speed up.
roar!!
"Master Mountain Master!"
A tiger roar was heard along with a cry of surprise, and a black shadow fell from a great height. It was Shen Huaixi.
The situation was critical and Jiang Yuebai had no time to think. He instinctively swung out the white vine to wrap around Shen Huaixi's waist. The huge falling force caused Jiang Yuebai's arm to hurt so much that the arm made of the vine was almost torn off.
This fragile body really makes her unhappy!
Shen Huaixi was spinning back and forth in the air, his face was pale, his left shoulder was covered in blood, and he looked in very bad condition.
roar!
The Black Mountain Tiger roared, and four black wind blades tore through the air, attacking from all sides.
Jiang Yuebai used the Green Armor Bee to resist with all her might, deflecting two and dodging one, and the last one just brushed past the vines above her head.
Jiang Yuebai pulled Shen Huaixi, and the two of them fell down suddenly, and most of the vines were broken!
Shen Huaixi's stomach churned and his body twitched. If he was on flat ground, he would not be afraid of the Black Mountain Tiger Demon at all. But in mid-air, it was really difficult for him to exert his strength.
Shen Huaixi moved, and the two fell down again. The vine was only connected by the last thread. The wind blade just now cut off all the surrounding vines, and Jiang Yuebai had nowhere to move.
Seeing the black mountain tiger rushing towards him, Jiang Yuebai shouted angrily.
"Shen Huaixi, if you can't fly up, then go back to your Chicken Feather Country on your knees!"
It's a joke that the master of the Iron Feather Kingdom could fall to death even though he had wings!
Jiang Yuebai cut off his white vine without hesitation. Shen Huaixi opened his eyes wide and fell into darkness.
"Master Mountain Master!"
Heishanhu and Jiang Yuebai were fighting each other. Above their heads, they were at the edge of a platform formed by dark clouds. Yu Xiao stretched out his hand downwards and watched Shen Huaixi disappear.
He withdrew his hand and clenched his fist, bit his lip, climbed up, and walked into the cloud without hesitation.
