Everyone rushed to the place where Yang Yanwu disappeared and searched along the scorched trees. However, the final destination surprised Xu Mingxi.
How could it possibly be the Moon Lake? Xu Mingxi looked at Yang Yanwu lying under a giant tree on a small island in the center of the lake, and told the sect leader and Dugu Bo the information about this place.
"This place is strange and we shouldn't stay here for long. Let's act quickly. After Mingxi absorbs the soul ring, we must leave immediately."
After listening to Xu Mingxi's story, the sect leader suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart. Why did Yang Yanwu end up here? Was there something here that could help her avoid being hunted?
The clan leader took the first step. The already weak Yang Yanwu was unable to resist and was rooted to the spot. Just as the shadow of the poisonous green dragon appeared behind Dugu Bo and its tail swept towards him, trying to carry him to the shore, an accident occurred.
Amidst the gloomy expressions on everyone's faces, a silky silver curtain fell from the sky, blocking Dugu Bo's attack. The originally ordinary giant tree on the central island of the lake underwent a shocking change.
Its branches grew rapidly, and the already large crown became increasingly obstructed. The originally green leaves turned silver, and points of silver light shone down, forming a silver curtain that protected Yangyanwu.
An old face appeared on the tree trunk, staring at everyone, or rather, at Xu Mingxi standing behind.
When Xu Mingxi was hunting the fifth soul ring, he was at the Moon Lake. By then, the giant tree had awakened from its slumber.
It seemed that after this human obtained the soul ring, a faint aura appeared on his body, which he seemed to have seen somewhere.
Now that they met again, that faint breath became a little heavier. The giant tree finally found what it wanted from its long memory, and the faces that appeared on the tree trunk opened their eyes wide.
I don't know how many years ago, but it was just an ordinary tree on the island in the middle of the lake, not even a soulless beast.
But suddenly one day, he saw a pair of mysterious and deep silver eyes, and long hair that flowed like silver threads.
From that day on, his bloodline progressed by leaps and bounds, and not only did he become a soul beast, his cultivation level also increased by leaps and bounds. In just tens of thousands of years, it became a hundred thousand year soul beast.
Now it had survived another heavenly calamity and become a true beast, but it had never thought of leaving that island in the middle of the lake. It still waited here, praying to one day see those cold silver eyes again.
Later, a new guest came to the island in the middle of the lake. Yang Yanwu passed by Moon Lake one day, and the atmosphere there made her feel very comfortable.
Then it fell from the sky and stopped under a giant tree on the island in the center of the lake. While resting here, he could even feel his growth rate accelerating.
In this way, Yangyanwu became a regular visitor to Moon Lake. As time went on, she also felt the strength of the giant tree and fled here to seek refuge.
No one knew what kind of soul beast the giant tree on the center island of the lake was, let alone how old it was, so they dared not act rashly.
The two sides remained at a stalemate until the old face on the giant tree trunk came into clearer view. It stared at Xu Mingxi for quite a while, then came a low, hoarse voice.
"Human, retreat now. However, this person must stay."
The sect leader's face changed drastically when he saw Xu Mingxi being directed by the giant tree branch. This beast is trying to uproot our Xingguan Sect.
What's more, there was no way they would give up Yang Yanwu, who was the key to Xu Mingxi becoming Supreme Douluo.
The momentum of both sides increased, and Yang Yanwu flew into the sky again, staring at everyone with his golden pupils, and a battle was about to break out.
Just as the sect leader was about to take action, Yang Yanwu seemed to have received a message. He suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sun in the sky with his golden pupils quivering, full of disbelief.
Then he flapped his wings and landed right under the giant tree. It was unknown what he said to the giant tree. The giant tree looked deeply at Xu Mingxi, then held its momentum.
The flames in the sky disappeared, specks of silvery light gathered on the giant tree, and the twigs and leaves turned green again.
Under everyone's vigilant gaze, Yang Yanwu flapped his wings and flew right in front of them, looking straight at Xu Mingxi with his golden pupils, and there was even a hint of fanaticism in his pupils.
Just as everyone was in confusion, the hoarse voice of the giant tree in the distance sounded again, though there was a hint of hesitation in it.
"Human, it wants to sacrifice for you."
Is there such a good thing? The development of this matter has shattered the cognition of the sect leader, even Xu Mingxi is a little incredulous.
But now Yang Yanwu has left the protection of the giant tree and is even surrounded by people. What's wrong with believing him for once?
The sect leader nodded toward Xu Mingxi, and the two titled Douluo surrounded Yang Yanwu. Dugu Bo retreated behind Xu Mingxi, while keeping a wary eye on his surroundings.
Xu Mingxi in the center sat cross-legged, took a cockscomb sunflower from the soul guide, and swallowed it directly without chewing.
As soon as this magic herb was ejected, a searing breath spread, and Yang Yanwu's eyes widened. He felt the pulsation of blood in his body. He had a hunch that once he swallowed this magic potion, he would very easily break through into a hundred thousand year old soul beast, and even becoming a beast would definitely not be a problem.
But the current situation may be better. He looked up at the sun again, and the majestic words just now appeared in his mind, and his heart burned with heat.
As Xu Mingxi began to absorb the Horned Phoenix Sunflower, Moon Lake suddenly became quiet. All the soul beings and humans watched quietly, while paying attention to the surroundings so as not to be disturbed by ignorant soul beings.
...
"Big brother, you're meddling in the affairs of the underworld. Be careful because that Shura guy will always trouble you."
"Huh, he's meddling enough himself, and I just said a few words to that believer."
"Of course, although Shura is strong, he can't control us, sisters. But I didn't expect that this kid would have a chance to get the pure Yang fairy grass. Big brother miscalculated."
"Even so, it is still unknown whether he can control sunlight. After all, your sister is so happy. Aren't you afraid that I will usurp the heir you have chosen?"
"Big brother, you're joking. What a pity for your vassal. Yang Yanwu is your most fanatical follower on this continent."
"Of course I will take measures to preserve his remaining soul. If there is a chance in the future, I will reshape it. However, it seems to me that this kid seems to have great ambitions."
"Big brother, do you mean..."
"Yes, he might be able to reshape it... Then, we might be able to..."
In the mysterious palace, two goddesses were watching Xu Mingxi absorb fairy grass, one cold and one hot. They seemed to be planning something.
