Chapter 4098: A Realization

though Ginger Cloud came with great anger and wanted to let Leiji Tian feel his rage, he was not a bloodthirsty person after all. Therefore, when he made his move, he still held back.For cultivators a...What exactly was he trying to sense from the Spirit Tree, and why had he been staring at it for so long

As the Jianyun quietly condensed into a talisman, striking into the Ling tree's body, Mu Luo, who had been waiting patiently all along, couldn't help but transmit a voice to Mu Zhengjun.

Jiang Yun only told the Mu family that they needed to find the key to curing Mu Ming from the Ling tree, but he didn't specify what it was.

And at this very moment, for Ginger Cloud, time seemed to have almost ceased to flow.

But in reality, from the moment he first touched the trunk of the tree until now, a considerable amount of time has passed.

Since no one else had consumed time as extensively as Jiang Yun, Mu Luo and the others naturally became a little impatient.

Although they didn't think Ginger Cloud would destroy the Spirit Tree, they couldn't help but worry about what she was doing.

Mu Zhengjun shook his head and chuckled wryly, "I don't know what he's sensing either. He hasn't told me, but it should be soon!"

Just as Mu Zhengjun's words fell, the faces of the five people suddenly changed drastically, because they also saw the spirit tree, which trembled slightly.

Such a situation, they had never seen before, to the point that for a moment, they didn't react at all, even suspecting whether it was an illusion caused by their own eyes.

After a while, the tremors of the Spirit Tree grew more intense. The five people finally came to their senses. Muloton immediately growled, "What are you doing!"

As he spoke, Muluo also took a step towards Jiang Yun.

However, this step forward caused Muro to freeze again! The trembling Spirit Tree suddenly dropped a branch, barring his way across in front of him, clearly preventing him from getting closer.

Five members of the Mu family, none could describe how they felt at this moment.

Their own family's spirit tree was actually preventing the Wood Clan and even their clan leader from getting closer. This situation was truly beyond their comprehension.

After looking at each other, the three elderly men also took steps in unison and walked towards Ginger Cloud.

The same situation occurred again. Three more branches hung down from the Ling tree, each blocking the way of one of the three people.

To go back, it would mean taking action against the Ling Tree, something they absolutely dare not do.

Molu's eyes flashed with cold light, staring fixedly at Jiang Yun, and roared out in a harsh voice: "Dongfang!"

Although they didn't know why this situation occurred, it must have something to do with Ginger Cloud.

But at this moment, Jiang Yun seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. He didn't react to anything outside, completely ignoring Mu Luo's calls.

Seeing that Ginger Cloud ignored him, Mok Luo had no choice but to turn his gaze to Mu Zhengjun again, snarling, "Mu Zhengjun, you've done a good job!"

"If anything were to happen to the Spirit Tree, I would hold you solely responsible!"

In Muluo's view, Gingercloud's approach to the Ling tree wasn't for Mu Ming at all, but had ulterior motives.

Now it even uses some unknown method to utilize the Spirit Tree.

Mu Zhengjun was also pale, completely unprepared for the situation to develop to this extent.

But he still gritted his teeth and said, "Chieftain, rest assured, Dongfang will never harbor any ill intentions towards the Spirit Tree."

If it weren't for Ginger Cloud's life-saving grace to him and his grandson three days ago, he might have thought that Ginger Cloud indeed had ulterior motives for the Spirit Tree. But now, he firmly believes that Ginger Cloud would not harm the Spirit Tree.

But Mo Luo ignored Mu Zhengjun instead. He sat cross-legged on the ground with the three elders.

Immediately following this, a tremendous surge of wood power rose from within each of them.

And this wooden power, condensed yet not dispersed, enveloped their bodies and gradually solidified into the shape of a spirit tree, its roots extending down towards the earth.

Since the Spirit Tree is a sacred object of the Wood Clan, the Wood Clan naturally has ways to communicate with it.

If the Spirit Tree wouldn't let them approach from above, then they would simply go below ground and communicate with its roots, attempting to disrupt Ginger Cloud's actions.

However, soon their faces changed again.

The Ling Tree surprisingly refused to communicate with them.

This left them completely helpless.

"Boom boom!"

Suddenly, a series of muffled sounds came. As they followed the sound, their expressions became even more interesting, their eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.

Because, that sound came from the earth itself! At this very moment, the ground where Jiang Yun stood had cracked open, revealing several fissures.

And from the crack, countless hair-thin tendrils, like tentacles, shot out with incredible speed, wrapping themselves around Jiang Yun's body.

In just an instant, Ginger Cloud was enveloped in a cocoon, as if the spirit tree had swallowed him whole.

These roots, of course, are the roots of the spirit tree.

Muro's eyes widened, a look of extreme bewilderment washing over him as he murmured, "What in the world is going on"

Can

the Spirit Tree still devour life

As the head of the Mu clan, he really didn't know how to explain what was happening before him.

Just then, an elderly man suddenly spoke in a deep voice: "No, it's not devouring, it's more like the east is absorbing..." The old man stopped before he could finish his words because he didn't know how to describe what he saw.

Because the Ling Shu's roots that were wrapped around Jiang Yun gradually disappeared into his body, vanished without a trace, and his body was revealed once more.

If the cracks on the ground were not still there, they would be as if they had never existed.

Ginger Cloud remained motionless from start to finish, her hand gently touching the trunk of the tree and her eyes tightly shut.

Mu Zhengjun's mind suddenly lit up, remembering the promise he had once made to Jiang Yun.

Regardless of whether Jiang Yun could help Mu Ming reshape his body, he would still give a piece of Ling Shu root to Jiang Yun.

And the sight before them, wasn't it just like Ling Shu actively offering its roots to Jiang Yun! Therefore, Mu Zhengjun whispered: "Could it be that Dongfang gained Ling Shu's favor, and Ling Shu gave him some roots, just like Mu Ming back then"

Mu Zhengjun's words immediately caused Mu Luo and the other three to turn their heads in unison, their eyes fixed on him. Each of their faces held a thoughtful expression.

In fact, it is just as such.

And if that were really the case, then they could still accept it.

Although the roots of the Ling tree that just sprouted look countless, in reality, the Ling tree's roots are deeply embedded underground. They not only spread to the Mu family but also continue to spread, covering an area of tens of thousands of miles.

This is also why, even though the Spirit Tree was a thousand miles away from the Mu family's home, the Mu family could still borrow the power of the Spirit Tree and enjoy its blessings.

Even if ten times the previous amount of root whiskers were sent out, it would be nothing more than a drop in the bucket for the Spirit Tree, and it wouldn't suffer any loss at all.

And from then on, no matter what methods they used, they could not get close to Jiang Yun.

Even if an attack were launched, it would be blocked by the Spirit Tree as if it were protecting Jiang Yun.

Having no other choice, Mulo and the five others could only suppress their suspicions and sat cross-legged around the Spirit Tree, patiently waiting.

After a whole day had passed, Molo frowned and said, "Even if the Spirit Tree gave him some roots, why is he still not awake"

Mu Zhengjun swallowed and stammered again, "Could he have gained some understanding from the roots bestowed by the Ling Tree"

That's quite possible! Many people from the Mu family, when seeking to break through bottlenecks, basically come to the Ling Tree here.

Although they had never encountered a situation like Jiang Yun's, as long as they sat near the spirit tree, they would all gain something.

Muro's face couldn't help but show a hint of envy as he said, "I really don't know why the Spirit Tree holds him in such high regard."

After understanding this, the five people could only continue to wait.

But as time gradually passed, Ginger Cloud still showed no signs of waking up. As a result, Mo Luo and the three elders had to leave one after another.

After all, there are still matters waiting for them to handle within the clan.

By the end, only Mu Zhengjun and a very old man remained, continuing to guard by Jiang Yun's side.

Thus, after half a year had passed, Molo, residing in the wooden house with two other elders, suddenly received a message.

Come quickly!deed so. From within the mist, there suddenly came the icy voice of that disciple who had spoken earlier: "These demon clans from the Shan Hai branch disobeyed orders and were disrespectful. According...
