Chapter 762 - 756 Tree Demon Divine King
A divine bird, with wings spanning three hundred feet and sharing a physique slender and beautiful, soared past.
Its feathers shimmered royally, dragging flame with its long tail feathers. The flame was intense, casting down countless sparks!
However, not a single spark reached the ground below. Often before even leaving the flame for several feet, they vanished, alleviating any concern for a wildfire!
Of course, in this realm, it was rather difficult to start a fire unless an entity from the Immortal Realm who controlled the Fire Element Principle altered this realm’s Fire Element Law. Otherwise, ordinary Spiritual Fire falling into the forests below would only cause small-scale flames that were quickly extinguished by the Plant Spirits!
The Undying Qingluan tweeted melodiously several times, a sound that travelled the Nine Heavens, pleasing to the ears!
Qin Feng sat cross-legged on the soft, warm feathers of the Undying Qingluan, holding the Wizard Notes in his hand that he tirelessly perused.
Unlike his stealth approach amidst enemies back then, where he had to conceal himself to avoid detection by Plant Spirits.
This time, he was invited by the Divine King Palace to this Holy Land, so there was no need for secretive travels. Thus, he summoned the most splendid-looking Undying Qingluan from his forces, boldly flying through the sky with no concern for how the Plant Spirits below might react!
His summoning of the Undying Qingluan was both a show of force and a display, as ordinary Plant Spirits, sensing the strong fiery essence of the Undying Qingluan, dared not offend, and the Divine Spirits had long evacuated from the region occupied by the Cultivator armies, keeping their distance for fear of being encircled and attacked by the impressive Cultivator forces!
Thus, the journey was uneventful as the Undying Qingluan flew across the Cangqiong, encountering no resistance.
It was not until they had flown a hundred thousand li away, past the front line battles of the Beast Taming Sect, that Qin Feng gently patted the back of the Undying Qingluan, instructing it to slow down.
Soon after, Qin Feng scanned the surroundings and quickly noticed two figures on a distant mountain peak.
One was a completely white dandelion, and the other bore a large red flower atop its head – a Plant God.
Both were Upper Divine Spirits, and their presence to greet Qin Feng, externally on par with Lower God Spirits, was no small effort.
Their presence spoke to how seriously the Divine King Palace valued the upcoming alliance against the wizards, or else they would not dispatch two Upper Divine Spirits just to welcome Qin Feng.
Given the Divine King Palace’s currently low control over All Gods and having only a few Upper Divine Spirits under its command, dispatching two was indeed a significant risk.
If the Cultivators had no real intention of allying and merely sought to lure and annihilate them, the loss of two Upper Divine Spirits would be a significant blow to the Divine King Palace and tremendously demoralize its remaining Divine Spirits!
“Chirp…”
The Undying Qingluan chirped lightly, slowed down, and descended in a swooping circle in front of the two Plant Gods.
Now that the Undying Qingluan was powerful, even an inadvertent landing created a hot whirlwind with its broad wings.
However, neither the dandelion nor the red-flowered Divine Spirit moved an inch, especially the dandelion, whose soft, fluffy top wasn’t stirred in the slightest!
The Flower Demon Divine Spirit watched the Undying Qingluan closely and, although outwardly composed, felt quite stirred inside.
It had not participated in the previous Cultivator invasion and thus, had never seen the Cultivators’ capabilities. Seeing Qin Feng using a Divine Level powerful divine beast as a Riding Tool immediately impressed it further regarding the Cultivator army.
It had received intelligence that the Divine Spirits under the Divine King Palace had reported on the Cultivators’ capabilities knowing that among them were many Cultivators adept at manipulating vast numbers of formidable Monsters.
The sight before them surely belonged to one such Cultivator.
And by extrapolating from Qin Feng’s display of strength, the Flower Demon Divine Spirit instinctively developed some confidence in this alliance!
If the Cultivators’ strength was indeed formidable like Qin Feng’s, while difficult for them to contend, it would mean that the wizards were equally outmatched!
“The esteemed Envoy, you may call me Zhu Jin Flower God!”
The Flower Demon Spirit took a step forward, its tone carrying a hint of warmth.
“Indeed, Zhu Jin Flower God, I am Qin Feng, at your service!”
Qin Feng floated softly down from the Undying Qingluan, his movement smooth and revealing a Cultivator’s gracefulness!
He exchanged a few pleasantries with the dandelion and Zhu Jin Flower God, then said, “Regarding the Divine King Palace’s desire to ally with us against the wizards, I have already reported this to the two revered ancestors.
After careful consideration, they agree in principle, but specific details need to be discussed with the Divine King!”
“Oh? They agreed?”
The dandelion and Zhu Jin Flower God exchanged a look, their eyes revealing a trace of joy.
Being able to ally with powerful Cultivators to fight the evil wizards was their only option, so upon hearing Qin Feng’s words, they were immediately delighted, finally easing their anxious hearts.
“Since that is the case, please accompany us to the Divine King Palace!” said Zhu Jin Flower God. “This matter is of great importance, and it would be best to discuss it in detail before the Divine King, and then negotiate how we might cooperate!”
“Agreed!”
Qin Feng nodded, “Please lead the way!”
“Envoy, follow us!”
Two Divine Spirits, enveloped by a whirl of breeze, took off into the air and gestured for Qin Feng to follow them.
“Much appreciated!”
Qin Feng stepped sideways and with a single step, crossed a hundred yards to land on the back of the Undying Qingluan.
The Undying Qingluan cried out and took flight.
Being a Divine Bird with Phoenix bloodline, it was much faster than ordinary Demon Immortals and Spiritual Birds. Although the two Divine Spirits were of a far higher realm, they did not leave the bird behind and tightly followed it.
Of course, this was also because the Dandelions were not flying at full strength. Otherwise, even though they were originally plants and naturally slower than birds, having reached the level of Upper Divine Spirits and broken free from the shackles of life, their full-speed flight would be unreachable for a Qingluan from two major realms down.
With two Upper Divine Spirits leading the way, Qin Feng had no reservations and thus rode the Undying Qingluan, speeding like lightning for millions of miles. Eventually, they arrived near an immense mountain range.
The mountain range was not only filled with peaks soaring into the clouds but was also teeming with various tall and short plants.
With a casual glance, Qin Feng’s heart jumped.
He unexpectedly discovered that all the plants on the mountain were Plant Spirits with awakened Spiritual Intelligence. They moved around in forms half-human or half-beast, conversed, traded goods, and when tired, chose to root themselves in the ground to rest, which was rather convenient.
Qin Feng looked surprised at the countless Tree Demons and Flower Demons in the mountain. Each plant spirit there possessed substantial strength, and under their influence, the great mountain was not only stunningly beautiful but also had incredibly fresh air.
However, he quickly controlled his facial expression. As an envoy of the Alliance, it was necessary to act with some discernment and not to wear all his emotions on his face, lest he appeared weak.
“How dare you intrude on the Divine Mountain; you are seeking death!”
Just as Qin Feng followed the two Divine Spirits flying toward the lushest peak in the mountain, a harsh voice erupted suddenly, followed by a large figure blocking their path, and without a word, a dark green limb composed of branches swiped down at Qin Feng.
The strike was massive, as if it aimed to squash him on the spot.
It was an Ancient Tree, soaring a hundred yards high with thick branches covered in scale-like bark, clearly a being with formidable defensive power!
This Divine Spirit, indeed a Upper Divine Spirit, seemed even stronger than Dandelion and Zhu Jin Flower God by the fluctuations of aura.
Yet, this Divine Spirit’s attitude toward Qin Feng was rather hostile, its speech was far from polite, and its eyes emitted a fierce light as its hand struck violently, “An invader of Canglan Realm dares to ascend to the Divine Mountain, then do not leave; I will bury your corpse beneath the earth as fertilizer!”
In the middle of speaking, its branch-like limb was almost upon Qin Feng.
The force of the blow was terrifying; even Qin Feng felt chilled by the fierce wind, realizing this Divine Spirit was no ordinary entity, potentially even at the peak of Upper Divine Spirits.
“Stop!”
Dandelion and Zhu Jin Flower God shouted simultaneously.
Immediately after, Zhu Jin Flower God flickered, forming a defensive barrier with countless red petals in front of Qin Feng.
However, due to the suddenness and hastily cast spell, combined with inherently weaker power than the opponent, with a loud bang, the petal barrier shattered, and the dark green hand still ferociously smacked toward Qin Feng!
“Iron Pine, how dare you!”
Dandelion, unable to hesitate any longer, extended countless branches to form layers of defense in front of Qin Feng, and with a tremble on its head, countless white down nearly covered half the sky, swiftly flying towards the massive Tree God.
“Hm?”
Iron Pine, shocked by the display of so much down from Dandelion, hurriedly set up layers of Defensive Magic to block the fluff.
Though the fluff seemed light and inconsequential compared to its tough scaly bark.
But as Dandelion was an Upper Divine Spirit and cultivating the Life Dao, the released down could not only heal injuries of other life forms but also force the extraction of other beings’ life force. If covered by so much down, even as an Upper Divine Spirit, it would become weak for a considerable future.
“Dandelion, for an invader you dare use such tactics on me!”
Iron Pine raged, “Could it be that you have sided with the invaders, seeking to lead them into the Divine Mountain and let them enslave us all!”
“Enough!”
Suddenly, a commanding voice boomed from the highest peak in the distance.
As the voice echoed, an overwhelming Divine Power spread out, instantly intimidating Iron Pine into not causing further trouble.
“We pay our respects, Divine King!”
Dandelion and Zhu Jin Flower God hastily bowed towards that high peak.
