Chapter 34 Ancient Demon God, Moon Goddess
After unexpectedly receiving the Yin power from the "forced sale" of the laurel tree, along with two hot potatoes, they found themselves in a difficult situation.
With his mind preoccupied, Shi Yuan naturally no longer had the leisure to visit the Taiyin Star.
After all, he had already achieved what he sought here.
Therefore, after exchanging greetings with Chang'e, he left Taiyin Star with the Golden Spirit Mother.
Then, they bid farewell to the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit.
"Senior sister, please go back now—in a few days, that matter will most likely require your help again."
Shi Yuan smiled at the Golden Spirit Mother.
"Don't worry, junior brother."
Upon hearing Shi Yuan's words, a sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the Golden Spirit Mother, who had already learned roughly what the next plan was from him.
"If what Junior Brother says is true, then we will take action ourselves when the time comes."
"good!"
After the two finished speaking, Shi Yuan rode a cloud and left the Heavenly Court, heading towards Yuanquan Mountain in the mortal realm.
Not long after, "the laurel tree, for some unknown reason, sensed something in Shi Yuan and bestowed upon him more than half of its accumulated Yin energy?"
As the ruler of Heaven, the Jade Emperor naturally learned of this news from Chang'e not long afterward.
As a result, the Jade Emperor's expression became quite interesting.
Since the Lich Wars, the Laurel Tree has been accumulating the purest Yin energy.
Half of them is definitely an exaggerated number.
After taking control of the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor naturally wanted to utilize the Yin power within the Moon Laurel Tree.
Unfortunately, so many years have passed.
Let alone relying on the power of the laurel tree—this spiritual root completely ignores the people of the Heavenly Court.
But what about now?
In this back and forth, half of the Yin energy that the Jade Emperor had coveted for so long was taken away.
"After the death of its master, a primordial spiritual root should be unable to recognize another master, right? Are the methods of a sage truly so wondrous?"
For a moment, the Jade Emperor was also somewhat stunned.
But after a moment, he could only sigh.
Shi Yuan gained such a great benefit out of nowhere, the kind that the Heavenly Court had been desperately seeking for many years without success.
He was naturally unhappy.
But ultimately, there's nothing that can be done about it.
The other party is a disciple of a sage and has also gained the approval of the Taiqing Sage.
Not to mention, he himself gave his approval to the other party's trip to Taiyin Star.
He had no choice but to speak out, both emotionally and logically.
"In the end, the Heavenly Court has no way to utilize that laurel tree."
"Now that we've used it to do a favor for the Jie Sect, it's making the best use of it."
He comforted himself with this thought.
But only he himself knows what he is really thinking.
Meanwhile, the Jade Emperor was experiencing a complex mix of emotions.
Meanwhile, Shi Yuan, riding the clouds, leisurely returned to Shi Yuan Pavilion on Yuanquan Mountain.
"The master is back!"
Upon seeing Shi Yuan return, Yuan Ling, who was a "left-behind child," happily came over.
"Did the master bring back any delicious food from Heaven?"
Yuanling looked at Shiyuan expectantly, her eyes practically sparkling.
"Hmm, not bad—you've been working quite hard lately."
Shi Yuan glanced at her and noticed that she had almost completely absorbed the medicinal power of the elixirs Yunxiao had given her earlier.
Even so, she took out the elixir gourd given to her by Laozi from her bosom, poured out a precious elixir, and said, "This was refined by an elder..."
"Huh?! More pills!"
They saw that precious pill, personally refined by Laozi, which was enough to drive most cultivators in the Three Realms mad.
Yuanling let out a bitter cry.
In the little girl's mind, elixirs = arduous cultivation = no more fun.
So her eyes started darting around furtively.
"Yuanling doesn't want to eat it!"
The next moment, it turned into a white light and disappeared!
Upon seeing this, Shi Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.
"That's not up to you."
He gently touched the precious pill, and then the pill flew out of Shiyuan Pavilion.
Soon after, shouts rang out from outside: "Wow! How did they catch up?!" "Get away! I don't want to eat you!"
After playing around with the boy, Shi Yuan felt that the pressure from his previous conversation with the Sage Taiqing had lessened considerably.
He shook his head, then vanished from the spot in a flash.
The next moment, he appeared on the Taiyin Star in the Shiyuan Realm.
"If I'm not mistaken, the difference between the Taiyin Star in the Shiyuan Realm and the one in the Three Realms... lies in the Laurel Divine Tree."
Shi Yuan looked at the Taiyin star in front of him and murmured softly.
After witnessing the sacred laurel tree with my own eyes.
His inner intuition had already subtly led him to understand what the Taiyin Star in the Shiyuan Realm lacked.
It was that spiritual root of heaven and earth.
But why is that?
"What is so special about innate spiritual roots? Why are they related to the perfection of the laws of heaven and earth in the Shiyuan Realm?"
"Or perhaps it's not a matter of innate spiritual root, but rather something else I haven't noticed?"
Although he had resolved his previous doubts, Shi Yuan now had even more questions in his mind.
Fortunately, although he was very puzzled.
But at least he knew what he should do next.
"The laurel tree clearly has a connection with the Taiyin star in the Shiyuan Realm, so... it gifted me this laurel seed."
With a wave of his hand, Shi Yuan summoned the crystal-clear laurel seed that floated in his palm.
He didn't need to guess; he knew that the seed must have been a gift from the laurel tree, planted in the Stone Origin Realm.
The sudden decline in the laurel tree's vitality was likely largely due to the seed that had been produced.
It can be said that the innate spiritual root was not very intelligent.
But their sincerity is truly remarkable.
They gifted me both the power of the Yin and the seeds of spiritual roots.
But the very thing it demanded left Shi Yuan helpless.
"It's not that I don't follow the rules."
"Even though you're so sincere, I really can't help it with the Moon Goddess Wangshu!"
Looking at the silver flower surrounding the laurel tree.
Shi Yuan could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
The fall of a true spirit is a truly unsolvable matter in the entire Three Realms.
Even a saint is helpless against someone whose true spirit has perished.
The moon goddess Wangshu is a very typical example of this.
Its true spirit was completely shattered in the war between the liches and the demons, leaving only the flower itself.
Even if Shi Yuan pleaded with the Tongtian Sect Master, there would be absolutely no way to save him.
So Yuan didn't know why the laurel tree believed in him so much.
"It's not that I disregard trading rules, it's just that it's beyond my capabilities..."
Helpless, Shi Yuan could only try to put the matter aside for the time being.
He simply tossed the laurel seed in his hand gently toward the moon in front of him.
Then, something he never expected happened.
Because he threw the laurel seed toward the moon.
The laurel tree was planted on the moon.
The next moment...
"Um?"
Shi Yuan was surprised to discover this.
The flower that seemed to be the embodiment of the moon goddess Wangshu vanished instantly as the laurel seed fell to the ground!
"??"
What the hell?
Shi Yuan panicked instantly.
He destroyed the flowers that the moon goddess Wangshu left behind in the world.
Won't the laurel tree get so angry that it uproots itself from the moon and comes looking for trouble?
But just a moment later, Shi Yuan was stunned.
Because he was shocked to see that the flower turned into dust and scattered at the same time.
It even had specks of silver light, which fell on the spot where the laurel seed had fallen.
Then...
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
The ground of the Moon Star began to tremble!
At the same time, the Shiyuan, which is connected to the perception of the Shiyuan Realm, can also detect it.
"The entire Taiyin star, that part that was always missing."
It was at this very moment that the wound was abruptly healed!
Then...
"Boom!"
Before Shi Yuan, a sacred laurel tree rose from the ground!
Its size is far smaller than the one in the Three Realms before, probably only about one-third the size.
However, the aura it exudes and the changes in the laws of heaven and earth are enough to explain it.
This sacred laurel tree is essentially the same as the one in the Three Realms!
It is undoubtedly also an innate spiritual root!
But at the same time, Shi Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted.
His gaze was fixed intently on the top of the laurel tree.
There, a familiar silver flower was slowly unfurling its bud.
And as the flower buds bloom.
The bright moonlight shimmered throughout the entire Shiyuan Realm.
Among the vast, silent, and empty space of the senior sister.
It formed a long river of moonlight that stretched across the sky.
Silver flowers bloom, and the moonlight fills the sky!
Then, Shi Yuan was astonished to see it.
Under the endless moonlight, amidst the flowing of the starry river.
A graceful figure slowly emerged from within.
As for who it was, Fan Yuan naturally knew without needing to guess.
The ancient demon goddess, the Moon Goddess—Wang Shu!
