The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 990: Encounter

Seeing this scene, everyone was once again filled with astonishment.

"Is... is this the legendary plant spirit that exists in the secret realm?

The energy of the wood element is so dense!"

"Such a rich vitality-it must be the legendary plant spirit.

It's said that if you consume it when you're severely injured, it can bring the dead back to life and regenerate flesh and bone.

This is the main reason why this Wood Element Secret Realm attracts so many people."

"..."

At this moment, a look of fervor appeared in everyone's eyes.

Its translucent eyes sparkled with a dazed light, as if its intelligence wasn't very high.

"I never expected that the Great Zhou Immortal Sect's Demon Immortal Array used the plant spirits of this secret realm as its formation bases.

If I had recklessly burned everything with my flesh and blood fire earlier, those plant spirits would have been completely destroyed.

In that case, even if we eventually destroyed the Demon Immortal Array, we would have gained nothing."

Su Jingzhen sighed with some emotion.

At this moment, Shengana softly gazed at the little radish before her.

She waved her staff, and another beam of green light energy enveloped it.

The dazed look in its eyes cleared up instantly, and it looked at Shengana with a sense of closeness.

To everyone's surprise, it moved closer to Shengana.

It let out a series of babbling sounds from its mouth.

Su Jingzhen and the others naturally couldn't understand, but Shengana was momentarily stunned, her eyes filled with both surprise and solemnity.

"Return to your original position. I promise to drive these people away and restore peace here."

Shengana gently patted the little radish on the head.

Then she returned to the center of the intricate patterns, which still seemed to serve as the formation base.

At this moment, everyone, including Su Jingzhen, turned their gaze to Shengana, their eyes filled with curiosity.

As an elf, and a forest elf at that, it made sense that Shengana could communicate with these plant spirits.

They were just curious about what the little radish had said to her.

"Young master, almost all of the plant spirits in this secret realm have been captured by the Great Zhou Immortal Sect.

They've all been refined into formation bases for the Demon Immortal Array. Their goal seems to be to control the Star River Ancient Tree through this Wood Elemental Secret Realm.

This Secret Realm is the interior of the Star River Ancient Tree and can be considered its core. 

If they can completely bind this secret realm with the Demon Immortal Array, they'll be able to control the entire Star River Ancient Tree through it."

Before Su Jingzhen and the others could respond, Shengana continued, "In addition, this plant spirit just told me that the Star River Ancient Tree has been in trouble since ancient times.

Its consciousness has fallen into a deep sleep, or perhaps it has already dissipated".

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Shangguan Tiantong and the others immediately recalled how the great experts of the Divine Dan Sect had once come here to invite the Star River Ancient Tree to take root within their territory.

But they had failed.

It turned out that it wasn't that the Divine Dan Sect was unsuitable, it was that they hadn't been able to find the spirit of the Star River Ancient Tree.

"So even though the Star River Ancient Tree possesses Immortal King-level energy, it has no conscious will to control that power, which is why it gave the outside world the illusion that the Star River Ancient Tree had no combat ability."

"That explains everything.

In that case, if the Great Zhou Immortal Sect really completes their setup, they might actually succeed. It's a good thing we arrived in time."

Su Jingzhen muttered to himself.

Su Jingzhen's gaze shifted to the endless dark patterns of the Demon Immortal Array stretching into the distance.

"Bai Suzhen, please give it a little more effort."

A glimmer of light flashed in Bai Suzhen's sapphire eyes.

"As long as you can keep up with the purification speed, I have no problem."

As soon as she finished speaking, the white light on Bai Suzhen's forehead shone even brighter.

At an even faster pace, she pulled the Demon Immortal Array patterns out of the void.

Now, with the power of the Elven Elder bolstering her, Shengana's purification speed also increased significantly.

Almost as soon as Bai Suzhen revealed the patterns, Shengana had already purified them.

Meanwhile, far away, the disciples of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect began to frown.

Several of them glanced back.

"What is going on?

Why do I feel that the power of the Demon Immortal Array is getting weaker and weaker? Could it be that those guys behind us really have the ability to destroy it?"

"The energy of this Demon Immortal Array is from ancient times. It's not something that Spirit Immortals or Mystic Immortal Realm cultivators can create.

To dissolve or destroy it, one would need at least the True Immortal Realm, and even then, only the top experts in that realm would have a slight chance of succeeding. Even if they could do it, it shouldn't be this fast.

What's going on back there?"

"Senior Brother Hong, something's wrong."

"..."

All the young disciples of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect who were holding the dark crystal balls and setting up the formation paused their actions and communicated with each other through messages.

At this moment, a white-robed youth in the deepest part of the secret realm also had a gloomy expression on his face.

He looked at the dark crystal ball in his hand and saw that the dark patterns had almost completely covered it.

He sent a message to the worried disciples of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect: "I can sense that the formation we've set up hasn't been damaged; it's still intact. 

As for why the energy is suddenly weakening, it's likely that those people have temporarily blocked some of the formation patterns.

Don't worry about it. Focus on completing the Demon Immortal Array first.

Once that's done, those natives will be nothing more than clowns to our Great Zhou Immortal Sect. We'll deal with them one by one after finishing our main task."

After the youth referred to as Senior Brother Hong spoke, he continued moving forward, though his speed increased significantly.

At the same time, all the disciples of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect holding the dark crystal balls also began to speed up.

The dark, sinister aura within the secret realm became even more intense.

They could imagine that the formation patterns were being blocked, but they had never considered the possibility that the nature of the energy was being changed.

"I can feel that they've begun to accelerate. Let's speed up as well."

At this moment, Bai Suzhen suddenly spoke to Su Jingzhen and the others.

As soon as she finished speaking, her white serpent form expanded to a thousand feet in size.

The white light emanating from her forehead grew even more intense.

With a single flash, the patterns embedded in the void were revealed.

Meanwhile, Shengana drew even more power from the Elder.

Her aura instantly reached the peak of the Mystic Immortal Realm.

And this seemed to be her limit.

Beads of sweat appeared on Shengana's smooth forehead.

The next moment, all the formation patterns that Bai Suzhen had drawn out were transformed into a light green color under the glow of Shengana's staff.

In the process, they encountered three more formation bases.

Each of them contained plant spirits sealed by the power of the Demon Immortal Array.

Every time they encountered a plant spirit, Shengana would converse with it.

The information she obtained was largely consistent with what the little radish had told them earlier.

In essence, they had confirmed that the Star River Ancient Tree no longer had a conscious will.

At the same time, as they continued to transform the power of the Demon Immortal Array, Shengana gained control over the part of the formation whose energy nature had been altered.

Just like the disciples of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect, they could now sense the situation of the other half of the formation controlled by the Great Zhou Immortal Sect.

"Young Master, I can sense that the Great Zhou Immortal Sect's people are almost done covering the entire secret realm with the Demon Immortal Array patterns. 

However, even if they complete it now, they won't be able to fully activate it.

At the very least, they won't achieve the intended effect. If we keep moving forward, we'll encounter them soon."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became slightly excited.

The members of the Divine Dan Sect also began to gather their energy, their expressions growing more serious. 

After all, the combat power of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect's disciples was undoubtedly formidable. 

When they eventually met, they didn't expect to play a major role.

As long as they didn't become a burden to Su Jingzhen, that would already be a great achievement.

...

"I wonder what's going on inside the Star River Ancient Tree? I suppose the people from the Divine Dan Sect have already been wiped out by our Great Zhou Immortal Sect," 

On a distant mountain peak where the older generation of Emperor Realm experts had gathered, Old Ling Feng's expression showed some concern, but his words were filled with confidence.

At this moment, although the divine consciousness of these old-timers was continuously probing, they couldn't truly ascertain the situation within the secret realm.

"Old Ling Feng, don't celebrate too soon. It's possible that the disciples of your Great Zhou Immortal Sect have been completely wiped out."

"Hahaha, the Divine Dan Sect has that kid Su Jingzhen and his True Immortal Realm contracted beast. Wiping them out completely might be a bit difficult."

"Hong Tao and the others went in with the Demon Immortal Array this time. By now, they've probably almost finished setting it up.

Once that's done, the power of the Star River Ancient Tree will be at their disposal. Even a true Immortal Realm Chaos Celestial Serpent won't be able to withstand the Immortal King-level power of the Star River Ancient Tree."

Old Ling Feng spoke proudly.

Upon hearing the words "Demon Immortal Array," the expressions of the older generation experts from the various Emperor Realm forces flickered with surprise, and they fell silent.

They knew that if this were true, then the Great Zhou Immortal Sect might indeed be invincible within the secret realm of the Star River Ancient Tree.

After all, they knew that Hong Tao and the other disciples of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect had entered the Wood Elemental Secret Realm for quite some time. 

According to their calculations, the formation should indeed be almost complete.

"However, if that's the case, your Great Zhou Immortal Sect might end up being seen as a villain by the Immortal Palace.

The Holy Maiden is still young, and she's very clear about her likes and dislikes".

An old man next to him said this leisurely with a complicated tone, and it was unclear whether he was gloating or envious.

Old Ling Feng's brows also furrowed, and he added: "If the Holy Maiden insists on being so unreasonable about matters between the younger generation, then there's nothing our Great Zhou Immortal Sect can do about it."

...

On another mountain peak, the expressions of Shi Nian and the others from the Divine Dan Sect were extremely grave.

Of course, they had seen Su Jingzhen and the others enter the secret realm, but the prolonged silence was making them anxious.

"Fellow Daoist Shi Nian, I'm afraid your Divine Dan Sect is in grave danger this time.

If it were any other force, I'd have confidence in that Su Jingzhen, but the opponent is the Great Zhou Immortal Sect, an old and established power of the Emperor Realm."

"Hehe, during the events in the Elven Forest, the Divine Dan Sect did indeed gain a bit too much.

When a cup is full, it overflows; when the moon is full, it wanes. This is an eternal truth."

"..."

Sects like the Martial God Hall that had suffered setbacks in the Elven Forest couldn't help but gloat at this moment.

However, Shi Nian and the others didn't react.

This time, they truly had no confidence.

While the various forces outside were harboring their own thoughts, within the Wood Element Secret Realm, the disciples of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect were nearing the end of their task.

The formation patterns on the black crystal ball in Hong Tao's hand had been completed.

The entire ball now radiated a blazing black light.

At the same time, the crystal balls held by the dozens of Great Zhou Immortal Sect disciples scattered throughout the secret realm also began to glow.

"It's done!"

"After more than a day of preparation, it's finally done. Once Senior Brother Hong takes the lead, we'll be able to take control of the Star River Ancient Tree."

"As long as we can control the Star River Ancient Tree with its Immortal King-level power, our Great Zhou Immortal Sect will sweep through everything in this Divine Shepherd Realm."

"Hehe, since we personally captured this Star River Ancient Tree, its power naturally belongs to us. With this Immortal King-level power in our hands, which of the younger generation can stand against us?"

"..."

At this moment, all the disciples of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect holding the crystal balls were filled with excitement.

Hong Tao, at the core of the formation, had a cold smile on his handsome face as he looked in the direction from which he had come.

"The Demon Immortal Array is now complete, so it's time to end this.

No matter what power you're from, the time for reckoning has come."

Hong Tao muttered coldly to himself, then channeled his Mystic Immortal Realm energy into the black crystal ball in his hand.

The next moment, all the patterns of the Demon Immortal Array in the void beneath him lit up.

The eerie and dark energy instantly permeated the entire void.

As soon as Hong Tao made his move, the other disciples of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect sensed it and followed suit, activating the formation patterns they had each created.

At this moment, the entire Wood Elemental Secret Realm suddenly trembled.

The Demon Immortal Array had been activated!

However, after just a dozen or so breaths, the expressions of the disciples of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect changed slightly.

"What's going on? The formation is still intact, but the energy is so weak that it hasn't covered the entire secret realm. What did those people do to the Demon Immortal Array?"

"At this level, it's far from achieving the intended effect. Senior Brother Hong, it seems like something's gone wrong."

"..."

The disciples of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect holding the black crystal balls were all bewildered.

At this moment, while still confused, one of them suddenly saw the dark patterns of the Demon Immortal Array turn light green beneath his feet.

In his line of sight, the figures of Su Jingzhen and the others appeared.

"Senior Brother Hong, I've encountered them!

Quick, gather around me!"

Su Jingzhen's face wore a mischievous smile, and the heart of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect disciple suddenly filled with panic.

He had personally witnessed the formation patterns he had painstakingly created vanish into nothingness, which was an extreme shock to him.

Only those who had personally created the patterns knew how advanced the power of those patterns was.

Yet, the other side had dismantled it so easily.

He immediately realized that he was no match for them, and he also knew that the few disciples of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect outside had already perished.

These people really dared to kill.

Therefore, this disciple had no intention of talking to Su Jingzhen and the others.

After sending a message to Hong Tao and the others, he quickly activated his movement technique, trying to escape.

No matter what, he had to wait for the main force of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect to arrive.

However, he hadn't even fled for three breaths before Su Jingzhen's figure, holding the black brick, suddenly appeared in front of him, faintly smiling.

"Fellow Daoists of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are we really that terrifying?"
