The Leyline Ancient Tree was also trapped within the Essence of Origin Force Net of the Faceless Saint Emperor.
Thus, after Ruo Mu pledged his allegiance, the Leyline Ancient Tree, too, felt a vague response in its heart. However, it couldn’t be certain, only feeling an ever-increasing sense of anxiety and fear.
"Now that I am a subordinate of the Emperor, and with his protective blessing, would He really dare to do anything to ?" The ancient tree could only console itself in this manner.
The Leyline Ancient Tree clearly understood that perhaps only the Emperor could save its life in this world.
And the more useful it was to the Sacred Dynasty, the safer it would be.
Therefore, the Leyline Ancient Tree was eager to prove its worth to the Emperor.
Unfortunately, since its arrival at Sacred Dynasty Daqi, it seed to have been forgotten. No one had actively sought it out.
Even the task of sorting out the Ley Lines of the Da Qi Miniature World that had been assigned earlier, no one had co to check on it.
This made the Leyline Ancient Tree quite frustrated.
However, this day, the opportunity the ancient tree had been waiting for to demonstrate its worth finally arrived.
The visitor was none other than the Emperor’s fifth disciple, Ou Shangtian.
"Is this the flow diagram for the Ley Lines of the Xuanhuang World?" Ou Shangtian asked, pointing to the image in front of him.
Densely packed, much like a vast underground net, it stretched to all corners of the Xuanhuang World.
It pulsated and throbbed like the blood vessels of the human body, looking sowhat strange.
The Leyline Ancient Tree nodded: "Junior Respected One sees clearly."
Ou Shangtian seed quite pleased with the ancient tree’s flattery, briskly accepting the title of "Junior Respected One."
"I’ve heard from Sister Lin Ling that when one moves through the Ley Line flows, there is spontaneous concealnt by the power of the Xuanhuang Realm Celestial Way, imperceptible to the common man. Is this true or not?" Ou Shangtian continued to ask.
"Correct." The Leyline Ancient Tree handed over a withered branch, "Junior Respected One, please observe."
Feeling the surging power inside the withered branch, Ou Shangtian frowned slightly: "This seems rather insignificant to . How could it possibly shield one’s perception from others?"
The Leyline Ancient Tree smiled slightly: "Junior Respected One should realize that grains of sand can build a high tower and drops of water can beco a river. A re trickle of Ley Line power may seem inconsequential. Yet, when the entire leyline flow of the Xuanhuang World converges, it is truly magnificent, almost like the force of thunder."
"After all, the flow of Ley Lines is an essential part of the normal functioning of the Xuanhuang World. This old one is rely in charge of wielding that authority. Compared to the overwhelming truth of the entire Xuanhuang World, ordinary cultivators are like ants, and being overlooked is nothing out of the ordinary."
Ou Shangtian stared intently at the Ley Line flow diagram, lost in thought.
After a long while, he ca to his senses, returned the Earth Vein Dead Branch, and instructed: "Just in ti, I am about to carry out a task entrusted by Master, and I might need your assistance."
This was exactly what the Leyline Ancient Tree had been waiting for, and hearing this, it was overjoyed: "Junior Respected One, just give your command, and I will certainly assist with all my might."
"Is there a mysterious patron in the Xuanhuang World, carrying a Stone Tablet... are you aware of this?" Ou Shangtian asked, looking at the Leyline Ancient Tree.
The Leyline Ancient Tree’s expression suddenly changed, and its previous eagerness vanished in an instant.
Staring at Ou Shangtian in so disbelief, it finally ventured after a long pause: "Junior Respected One, does the Sacred Dynasty intend to take action against Elder Stone Plate?"
"If I may speak frankly, the Stone Plate is indeed of the Immortal Realm, and moreover, has been enlightened for many years..."
Ou Shangtian waved his hand with a hint of impatience: "I’m well aware of that Stone Plate’s strength. The Immortal Realm, huh!"
"Compared to Master, it is nothing!"
"Rest assured, I am rely responsible for luring him to a specific location—that is all."
Hearing Ou Shangtian say this, the Leyline Ancient Tree felt a slight relief.
That mysterious and unfathomable Faceless Saint Emperor, having been capable of subduing his father, should surely have no problem dealing with the Stone Plate.
The ancient tree beca invigorated: "Junior Respected One, may I ask how I can assist?"
Ou Shangtian detailed the plan, and the ancient tree nodded thoughtfully, indicating there were no issues.
"There’s no ti to delay, I will set off imdiately after seeing Master."
The ancient tree, however, stated: "My main body still resides in Xuanhuang; should Junior Respected One summon , I can appear at any ti."
Ou Shangtian hurriedly entered the Saint Emperor Seat.
When he erged, the anxiety on his face had vanished without a trace.
"I have the Kun-Qian Skeletal Hand and am protected by Colored Jade Hollow Glare. Furthermore, I have been granted Treasures by Master. And I have studied Array Technique for such a long ti..."
"All I need to do is lure him to the Fishing Pond, and the task will be considered complete. There should be no problems."
"But isn’t the Fishing Pond one of our Sacred Dynasty Treasure Lands? Why would Master instead have lure a formidable enemy there? Isn’t he afraid that sothing unexpected might happen?"
Ou Shangtian couldn’t figure it out.
In the end, though, he didn’t care to ponder too much about it, leaving the Da Qi Miniature World and heading straight for the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals’ Jiushan Province.
With the aid of the turbulent Ley Line flows, it took just the ti it takes to drink a cup of tea before he had arrived within the bounds of Jiushan Province.
Ou Shangtian tried a bit and indeed found so chaos and vulnerability in the local Space Law.
If he were to rashly perform the art of imdiate Escape, he could likely tear through space and be sucked into the maelstrom of space, never to be found.
"However, flying isn’t an issue. These nine mountains might confound the average cultivator, but they can’t trouble with the protection of Seven-color Divine Light."
With such thoughts in mind, Ou Shangtian, through deliberate control, ford a ring of protection around himself with the Colored Jade Hollow Glare. It shone like the sky above, continuously radiating its own rhythm.
With a flicker of thought, an armor set that also emitted a seven-colored gleam suddenly appeared on Ou Shangtian.
Simultaneously, his master’s voice rang in his ears: "This item is nad the ’Flowing Light Armor,’ crafted from the Nine Heavens Thunderbolt and the Morning Breath Neon. Once donned, the speed of flight can rival that of lightning and can disregard most forms of attack..."
