Chapter 861: Possessing the Nine Nether Wood (2)
Editor: Atlas Studios
The five qi in his chest finally reached the perfection of the five elements. They cycled together and never stopped.
If not for the fact that he was still at the bottom of the Netherworld, he would have become an immortal on the spot and “wrestled” with Jiang Ziya.
However, now, he had to take away this Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth that he yearned for.
After this Wood Spirit entered his body, he felt that he had become a part of this huge tree.
Endless Nine Nether qi flowed in this huge tree that was hard to imagine.
It flowed in and out of his body.
He, who was as small as dust, joined the cycle of this huge system. It was as if he was a part of the Nine Nether Wood to begin with.
His soul took the opportunity to escape from his main body.
It was as if this huge tree was originally his body. He could swim freely inside without any unfamiliarity.
The Nine Nether Wood was also very generous. It did not mind if he took any energy from it.
To any cultivator of the Nine Nether Dao Scripture, this was a place that was even more comfortable than the Nine Heavens Palace.
However, at this moment, an invisible fluctuation swept past, causing his soul to tremble.
In the next moment, as if he had been thrown into a crusher, his soul was cut into countless pieces the size of mahjong tiles without any resistance.
Then, an invisible force violently ground him into even smaller pieces.
Even his Infinite Dao Soul felt a trace of pain.
If it was before, he would probably be heavily injured on the spot and lose at least half of his soul.
“No wonder the Nine Nether Wood could not develop intelligence after so many years. This kind of power is really unbelievable.”
In the blink of an eye, the soul that had been ground into tiny pieces returned to its original state.
Jiang Li still had lingering fear towards the force from before.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to spend a million years preparing.
If he did not have the Infinite Dao Soul, he would be in deep trouble.
He continued to wander in the Nine Nether Wood.
He swam to a root and with a thought, the root moved with his thoughts.
With a slight shake, a strong earthquake immediately occurred on a Netherworld Continent.
The originally flat ground bulged up, turning into a mountain range. The originally towering mountain peak collapsed again, turning into a long, narrow, and deep valley.
After a long time of growth, it was in the deepest and core area of the Netherworld.
This made the growth of the Nine Nether Wood never stop.
Its body was relatively outstanding among the ten Connate Spiritual Roots. This time, it was probably worthy of being number one.
Now, the roots of the Nine Nether Wood had almost taken root in every corner of the Netherworld.
Although it could not be seen on the surface, a slight change would affect the entire situation.
Any move could turn the entire Netherworld upside down.
Of course, Jiang Li could not do that.
He spread out his mind and could only control five or six tree roots. He was still very, very far from controlling the entire Nine Nether Wood.
Feeling everything in the Nine Nether Wood, he truly felt what a giant’s shoulder was.
Every energy flow in this wood, every bark ravine, every sway of the Nine Nether leaves, every touch of the roots, and any ordinary reaction seemed to surpass all his comprehension of the Nine Nether Dao Scripture over the years.
By staying in this huge tree, all the mysteries of the Nine Nether Dao Scripture were exposed to him without reservation.
There was also a detailed and comprehensive explanation behind each answer.
The mysteries of the Nine Nether were obvious at a glance. That feeling was even more carefree than an epiphany.
However, this comfort did not last long.
About fifteen minutes later, the same soul wave as before appeared again and kicked him out of the comfort circle.
Even Jiang Li, who was already prepared, was still instantly dispersed by some force.
His soul had an indestructible characteristic, so after a while, it recovered to its original state.
However, as soon as he spread out, the mental strength that penetrated these roots was wiped clean.
All the efforts he had made earlier were wasted.
This was not good.
He tried a few more times, trying to use the traditional possession method to directly occupy everything of the Nine Nether Wood.
However, he was interrupted at the beginning every time. If this continued, he would probably not succeed no matter how many times he tried.
He had to think of a way to eliminate this power that could erase souls first.
Jiang Li returned to his body first.
Then, he used the Nine Nether escape technique and fused into the huge tree to move around in the Nine Nether Wood.
Even if he had repeatedly tempered his spiritual qi in hell for a million years, it was still far inferior to the true Nine Nether Wood.
In comparison, the only thing that could be considered an advantage was that he had obtained the power of the Immortal Peach Tree, allowing his spiritual qi to balance Yin-Yang and enter the chaotic power of the Asura World.
At the same level, his Nine Nether spiritual qi or Nine Nether immortal qi would be stronger than this Nine Nether Mother Tree.
Following the soul cleansing that happened every fifteen minutes, Jiang Li gradually entered a core tree hole of the Nine Nether Wood.
After spending some effort, he successfully found the origin of the power.
What emitted that power was a white and black millstone that was slowly spinning.
The two grinding stones separated a gap every fifteen minutes and emitted a dim light that shattered all the souls nearby.
