Chapter 196: Lord Hailong
Since the spiritual leylines had nourished the innate money tree, its spirituality had increased visibly.
It was still very arrogant, and even in front of Chen Jingzhai, it was slow and leisurely.
However, Chen Jingzhai had the opportunity and means to educate it.
The Supreme Sky Master was even more merciless, so Chen Jingzhai wanted to test its abilities this time.
The roots of the innate money tree jumped out from the divine light. After it adapted to the environment, it quickly became flexible.
Under Chen Jingzhai’s orders, its roots instantly rushed toward Lord Yu. Its speed was as fast as lightning.
“Ahh! What the hell is this?
“Break!”
The tree roots pierced a hole in Lord Yu’s shoulder, causing him to scream in pain.
It was also because he was too careless, and there were other factors such as injuries and circumstances.
Lord Yu was in severe pain, and he grabbed the root and was about to cut it off with a surge of his magic power. However, it did not have any effect. This was a root that grew from the Innate Spirit Seed.
Especially when it came to the innate money tree, it could be said that it was towering and prosperous. It could almost cover the sky from sight and was indeed a magnificent tree.
The roots of such a massive tree were naturally extremely strong.
No matter how hard Lord Yu struggled, he could not help him. What made him even more frightened was that the root of the tree was draining his power quickly, and he could clearly feel his power disappearing.
“No, no, no!
“Master, I am willing to surrender. I am willing to surrender!
“I can even be a dog!
“Please forgive me!”
Lord Yu knelt on the drum surface and screamed, begging extremely sadly.
As his magic power was drained out of him, the power of his Nascent Soul was also rapidly depleting. The feeling of being extracted alive made him panic.
What frightened him more was that he was gradually losing control of his body.
The roots of the tree were in his flesh and blood, and it seemed to be able to take root and continuously extract nourishment from him.
“It’s too late! Do you think you would end up like this if you had agreed to my request earlier?
“As a lord’s lackey, you can, in fact, command some respect.
“But this result is not too bad!”
Chen Jingzhai said with a smile at the corner of his mouth and waved with a gleam of divine light.
Under the shroud of divine light, Lord Yu could not resist and was taken into the Primordial Essence World by Chen Jingzhai. Even the Ocean Taming Drum fell into Chen Jingzhai’s hands. This way, he was completely safe.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Chen Jingzhai patted the giant octopus with a smile. This was an inferior Grade 5 giant beast. Even if it was only in the deep sea, it was still a giant. This time, the giant octopus was a big contributor to Chen Jingzhai’s handling of Lord Yu.
Chen Jingzhai took out a spiritual stone of the highest grade and threw it directly into the mouth of the giant octopus. After that, he kept communicating with it using his divine mind and continued to feed it three spiritual stones.
Only then did Chen Jingzhai successfully bring the giant octopus into the Primordial Essence World. The seawater in the Primordial Essence World came with strong essence power. It sent the giant octopus into a satisfyingly deep slumber in the depths of the ocean.
Chen Jingzhai did not leave in a hurry but found a secluded place in the deep ocean canyon. After setting up the formation, he sat cross-legged, and his divine mind entered the Primordial Essence World.
At that time, on the innate money tree in front of the jade statue, there was fruit on it, similar to a baby. It was worth noting that it also resembled a copper coin, which was very peculiar. This was a brand new fruit, born after devouring Lord Yu. Chen Jingzhai did not rush to name it. Instead, he first created Lord Yu’s soul remnant with the help of the Supreme Sky Master.
Although Lord Yu was swallowed by the innate money tree, he died in the Primordial Essence World. As the master of the Primordial Essence World, it was easy for Chen Jingzhai to summon the soul remnants.
The heaven world within the Primordial Essence World.
The silver screen was cloudy, and under the blessing of the Supreme Sky Master, a brand new Lord Yu made his appearance.
He had a Grade 4 spirit body just like White Jade and Golden Flame.
What set Lord Yu apart from Wang Ju and the other four Golden Core Sages was that in order to prevent his Nascent Soul from escaping, Chen Jingzhai had to be more thorough, so Lord Yu only had a soul remnant and no Nascent Soul.
Even so, Lord Yu, who was born out of the Primordial Essence World, already had a medium Grade 4 cultivation level. So, although it was not comparable to the strength in his lifetime, his growth potential was higher.
According to the cultivation path of the spirit body, either the Path of the Rogue Immortals or the Path of the Divine Spirits, Chen Jingzhai felt that Lord Yu could completely follow the Path of the Rogue Immortals and be the first rogue immortal in the Primordial Essence World.
“All kinds of things in the past are bygones. Master, please bestow me a name!” Lord Yu said.
“Then you shall be named Lord Hailong!” Chen Jingzhai smiled and returned the magic treasure.
These two magic treasures were of no use to him. Whether it was the Great Heaven Mirror or the Five Bamboo Sword, they were both very suitable for him. For a cultivator, the importance of a magic treasure was in its essence and not the quantity.
Especially when the cultivator’s cultivation base was still weak, more magic treasures were a burden. But, of course, for Chen Jingzhai, there was no burden, but Chen Jingzhai did not hesitate to return magic treasures that were not suitable for him.
Lord Hailong saluted Chen Jingzhai. After thanking him for his name, he obediently handed over the storage bag to Chen Jingzhai. In addition to the storage bag, he also had two storage spaces.
One was a belt, and the other was a bracelet. All of them were hidden in the body. They were some belongings that had been accumulated over the years, and all the things hidden in the belt and bracelet were fine products.
Chen Jingzhai picked and chose, and threw all the spiritual medicines that were not available in the Primordial Essence World to the lower realm for cultivation.
For Chen Jingzhai, only Grade 4 materials and elixirs were things he valued at present. Especially if the elixir could be successfully planted, it would become the foundation of the Primordial Essence World. The most important thing was that the more elixirs he had, the more it would be fed back to the Primordial Essence World.
This was a virtuous cycle, so Chen Jingzhai felt that he would not let it go and did not need to search for it deliberately. So far, he had obtained the spiritual herbs from the hands of the enemy.
In addition to these resources, Lord Hailong also transferred everything he had learned into the jade slips. He even brought out the core methods and cultivation methods from the Mystic Sound Pavilion.
It was Lord Yu who had the Restrictions and cultivation methods when he was alive, but these had no effect on Lord Hailong, nor could they benefit him in his current state. In addition to the cultivation methods that Lord Yu mastered and collected during his lifetime, there were more than 100 jade slips alone. The grades were all different, but all had value.
Chen Jingzhai waved his hand, put these into the Archive Pavilion in the Grotto-heavens Marketplace, and then summoned Lord Hailong. He learned that what Lord Yu said was not wrong. The Mystic Sound Pavilion was indeed controlled by the clan.
The reason why Lord Yu did not join the clan was not only because he did not want to lose his freedom but also because he was in the lineage of apprenticeship. As a result, because of a scheme by the Mystic Sound Pavilion, his master died long ago.
After learning about this, it was no wonder that Lord Yu was furious with Mystic Sound Pavilion.
Of course, what attracted Chen Jingzhai the most was some of Lord Yu’s cultivation experience and the small-scale stable space found in the Tempest Ocean. However, although it was small-scale, it was actually very large.
According to Lord Yu’s memory, there were probably a hundred acres of land. Moreover, the essence power of heavens and earth was a bit violent in the Tempest Ocean and not as docile as the Eastern Ocean, but the essence power of heavens and earth was very strong there.
As long as you had a little patience and continued cultivating, it was a good place for Seclusion Training, and Chen Jingzhai had to admit that it was indeed a good backup plan before one achieved the Lord status.
For a cultivator, seclusion training was not boring but a common practice. However, if a cultivator could break through to the Spirit Plane, the world would be their oyster, and they could go anywhere!
“In addition to these, there is also a message from Mystic Sound Pavilion,” said Lord Hailong. “Mystic Sound Pavilion ordered Lord Yu to stop chasing and killing and to return to the sect to receive punishment. This is the first message.”
“Is there a second message?” Chen Jingzhai asked curiously.
“Yes.” Lord Hailong nodded. “Not long after the first message, the second message followed. It was an order to pay close attention to your whereabouts in secret. If possible, it was best if Lord Yu could kill and pin the blame on Venerable Zhang in advance. But because master killed Zhang Ye the Little Jupiter, Venerable Zhang left the Mingyuan Dao Sect in a rage and went to the ocean to find master.”
“Is there a third message?” Chen Jingzhai asked.
“Yes,” Lord Hailong said. “If it’s impossible to complete that mission, Lord Yu is to tell Venerable Zhang about master and find a way to gain his favor. He should take this opportunity to stir up trouble between Venerable Zhang and the Mingyuan Dao Sect.”
“This is really something… No wonder Lord Yu had grievances against Mystic Sound Pavilion.” Chen Jingzhai tutted thoughtfully.
