Perhaps, Ming Yu could see the Natural Heart in the Tao Tree of Lingtian through the method of the Dark Soul Touch, or something else. In short, there must be endless secrets hidden within this huge ancient tree.
However, when Ming Yu stared at the Tao Tree of Lingtian, he couldn't see through it at all.
It was as if a barrier had been raised on top of the Tao Tree of Lingtian's bark, making Ming Yu feel that something was obstructing his line of sight, and it was also because of this that he was unable to see through the Tao Tree of Lingtian's structure. On the contrary, his mind became a little dizzy because of the feeling of being blocked.
Ming Yu suspected that there was something wrong with his Dark Soul Touch. He looked around, but quickly realized that there was nothing wrong with his Dark Soul Touch. The reason he couldn't see through it was only because of the Tao Tree of Lingtian itself!
This made Ming Yu a little surprised.
From the time Ming Yu grasped the Dark Soul Touch until now, it seemed like he hadn't discovered anything that he couldn't see through. But now, his Dark Soul Touch seemed to have encountered a similar problem for the first time.
and so on...
Ming Yu suddenly remembered that when he used the Dark Soul Touch to examine his Master Soong Yuanyuan's Dantian, it seemed to have been blocked by something. He even felt that Soong Yuanyuan's Dantian had caused a backlash and attacked his mind.
"So this isn't the first time."
Ming Yu suddenly realized, at this time he had a guess, although the Dark Soul Touch was strong, with Ming Yu's growth, the change in the Divine Lake, the Dark Soul Touch's ability to see through was also stronger, but, when the opponent's cultivation or ability was completely higher than his, reaching a certain point, it would not be able to see through him anymore!
Looks like this eight thousand year old Tao Tree of Lingtian really has some history. Its level of existence is beyond what Ming Yu's Touch of the Dark Soul could penetrate.
This made Ming Yu more curious.
What exactly was hidden inside the Tao Tree of Lingtian …
As he pondered, Ming Yu followed Lee Xiu and the rest towards the center of the Tao Tree of Lingtian.
The Tao Tree of Lingtian's surroundings were the core zone of the Spirit Clan, and in order to show their respect to the Guardian Gods, Spirit Clan were not allowed to ride on flying beasts here. That's why, everyone had tied their flying beasts and followed Lee Xiu as they went forward.
When Ming Yu saw the Tao Tree of Lingtian from afar, he already felt that it was huge. It seemed like the Tao Tree of Lingtian was very close, but in reality, it was just looking at the mountain from afar and running like a dead horse. Everyone walked for around half an hour before they finally got close to the Tao Tree of Lingtian.
At this moment, Ming Yu was almost unable to see the entire appearance of the Tao Tree of Lingtian. He could only feel a particularly thick tree trunk rising up from the ground in front of him, blocking his line of sight.
Beneath the Tao Tree of Lingtian, there was a circle of ancient buildings constructed entirely out of vines.
Every single building had the aura of an elder and their styles were roughly the same, but every single building had different temperaments.
The largest building in the middle was about thirty meters tall, and there were no buildings around it either. Smoke curled up around the building, and an immortal aura appeared.
It was obvious that this was where the Spirit Clan Patriarch resided!
"We're here. Everyone, please wait a moment. I will first deliver Qing Xuan to the lord patriarch, then I will inform the lord patriarch of your request." Lee Xiu cupped his hands towards the crowd.
"Hahahaha …"
"I never thought that Flame God Sect's disciples would be so talented that they would actually save Xiao Qing. We are all truly grateful to the people from the Spirit Clan!"
Following the voice, a figure walked out from the smoke.
It was a middle-aged man. He wore a dark green robe made from 999 pieces of green leaves, had short hair, a square face, and his eyes shone with a red light. He exuded a gentle and refined aura, and his cultivation had also reached the first level of Peak of the Fourth Layer!
This kind of cultivation realm should have given people a strong sense of oppression, but from his body, one could feel a heavy spiritual energy, a kind of feeling similar to the spring breeze.
This person was the Patriarch of Spirit Clan, Qing Lan.
Although in terms of cultivation, Qing Lan and Qin Fann were on the same level, their styles were completely different. Qin Fann was from the Flame God Sect and his body emitted a strong attack power, but all year long, under the nourishment of the ancient tree's spirit energy, Qing Lan's temperament was a little less sharp, but it also had a little more essence.
Although Qing Lan might not be Qin Fann's match in terms of combat ability, but in terms of the longevity and vitality, Qing Lan was obviously much stronger than Qin Fann.
After all, Spirit Clan were not some battle races. They communicated with the heaven and earth, believed in the existence of spirits, and paid the most attention to longevity. They hoped that all the races in the continent would coexist peacefully.
"Clan head, you …" When Lee Xiu saw Qing Lan personally go out to greet him, he was also a bit astonished.
"Daddy!"
Qing Xuan, who was behind Lee Xiu, ran excitedly towards Qing Lan. In these few months, she thought that her father was about to go crazy. Previously, she still hated her father a lot and felt that he didn't give her freedom, but now, she knew that her father was always doing it for her.
After seeing his daughter, Qing Lan also smiled in a very gratified manner. Just now, he also rushed out after feeling his daughter's aura.
Following Qing Lan, dozens of elders who were in the other buildings walked out one after the other. Including Qing Lan's wife, who was also Qing Xuan's mother, all gathered in the empty space in front of them. After seeing Qing Xuan, they all felt quite pleased.
After the excitement, they gradually calmed down. In the end, their gazes were finally fixed onto Qin Fann and the others.
Other than Qing Lan, the highest cultivation among these elders was at the fourth level of Core Controlling Stage. The lowest was at the third level of Core Controlling Stage.
"These few people should be our little friends from Flame God Sect, right?"
Qing Lan smiled and said, "Tell me, what do you want? As long as it's something my Spirit Clan can do, I will definitely agree to it."
"It's like this."
He thought about what he should say and said without any hesitation: "This time, we feel very gratified that we managed to save your Spirit Clan's little princess, and secondly, because of some reasons within our Flame God Sect, we now have no choice but to raise our fighting strength, so we would like to ask our Patriarch to give us a chance to obtain the Natural Heart …"
Immediately, Qin Fann told the Spirit Clan Patriarch everything about the crisis they had.
As he finished speaking, Lee Xiu, who was beside him, also expressed his attitude. The tribesmen behind him also felt that they would be able to help him if they could. After all, they could not forget how he had saved them.
"Hehe, I will naturally agree to that. Forging Pill Heart of Spirit Soul s using the will of blessings is not a difficult thing."
He slowly looked at Qin Fann, Liu Tie, Wang Han, Hei Ji, and even Ming Yu who were at the very side and said: "If you count them all, there are a total of five of you. We will gather here tomorrow morning and I will personally lead you to seek the approval of the Tao Tree of Lingtian s. As for who will be able to obtain the Natural Heart, that will depend on your luck."
When Qin Fann heard this, he took a deep breath and became excited. Everything was going according to plan.
He turned around and glanced at Lu Jian and Wang Han, and saw the hope of saving Flame Refinement Clan from each other's eyes.
"Before that, please enjoy yourselves at my Spirit Clan. I will send people to show you the unique features of my Spirit Clan, and I will arrange a comfortable place for you to stay in tonight as well. I hope you can enjoy yourselves at my Spirit Clan."
Saying that, he gave some instructions to the young men in the clan, signalling them to bring Qin Fann and the others to play and take up residence.
After getting tired of her parents for a while, Qing Xuan did not choose to stay with them. Instead, she changed into a fresh and simple green dress and went to play with Qin Fann and the others.
Her and her parents' explanation was very simple, she wanted to thank these people from Flame Refinement Clan. Because, before long, they would be leaving, and she would feel reluctant to part with them.
Qing Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Thinking that there was no need to worry about his daughter's safety this time, he did not stop her. As long as he could see that her was safe and happy, he would be satisfied.
However, what they didn't know was that Qing Xuan wasn't really interested in Qin Fann and the others. She just wanted to stay a while longer with Ming Yu …
Under the guidance of a few Spirit Clan youths, Ming Yu and the others first brought the flying beasts to live in a unique and tranquil garden. The garden was very big, and among them there were a few arranged around flowers, plants, trees, and around a dozen courtyards.
At this moment, there was no one else in the garden. After Ming Yu and the others entered, they chose a few courtyards to stay in.
Ming Yu, Hei Ji, and Qin Fann each had their own courtyard. Lu Jian and Wang Han, who had already confirmed their couple's relationship, lived together in the same courtyard.
Although the four courtyards were adjacent to each other, each courtyard was surrounded by high walls. Every foreign guest had their own private space that was very quiet, without any distractions.
After a few simple moments of settling down, the group, under the lead of a few Spirit Clan youths, started to play around many places. Although the Spirit Clan at night did not reveal its most fresh and enchanting scenery in front of Ming Yu and the others, it made Ming Yu feel the passion of the Spirit Clan.
There were many interesting places, such as the snacks specializing in Spirit Clan, the plants that grew in the outside world that did not exist, and the beautiful clothes that were specially weaved with tree leaves …
This was all characteristic of Spirit Clan, and it was different from City of Delight's indulgence and greed. In Spirit Clan, there was only pure passion and kindness that came from the bottom of the heart.
Ming Yu and the others walked around, enjoying the last party before the Flame Refinement Clan crisis.
However, Ming Yu was in a trance along the way. His attention was not focused on the scenery, nor did he pay much attention to Qing Xuan's words.
There was only one person in his eyes, Hei Ji.
From trying on beautiful clothes woven from leaves in front of Qin Fann to feeding each other on the special snack street until the end, she held Qin Fann's hand during the Spirit Clan bonfire party, and even danced with him while holding onto her slim waist …
For the first time, he suddenly felt that the time it took for Hei Ji's soul to take form was too long. If he could control the Ancient Jade, he would make Hei Ji return to his chest.
But when he thought about it, Hei Ji would actually be able to return to the Ancient Jade s eventually.
You've always been mine, haven't you.
Ming Yu didn't look at the figure of Qin Fann and Hei Ji hugging each other anymore. He directly turned around and squeezed through the crowd. However, he didn't notice that Hei Ji, who was among the crowd, had a complicated expression on her face as she glanced at where Ming Yu had left.
