Chapter 710: Chapter 706: Protecting and Guarding

Su Muyao looked at Di Fu Yuan’s expression and could tell that he might know something.

Su Muyao stared intently at Di Fu Yuan, hoping he would say something.

Di Fu Yuan looked down at Su Muyao’s expression, a bit amused, and couldn’t help but pat her hair.

Just like long ago, he also liked doing this.

And she also liked to be held by him, snuggling close.

Remembering some beautiful memories of the past, Di Fu Yuan’s heart turned soft.

"You just mentioned you encountered many things in the dense forest, one of which was Moon Cold Silk."

Su Muyao nodded, she had just explained everything about the dense forest to Di Fu Yuan in detail.

"Yes, Shen Jinsuo said that Moon Cold Silk is a kind of plant-formed silk, saying it had been lost for hundreds of thousands of years. This thing is extremely sharp and can be made into hidden weapons."

Di Fu Yuan pondered: "Actually, a long, long time ago, there were indeed some very strange spirit plants, possessing traits and inherent power quite different from beastmen."

"But such spirit plants should have been lost long ago. It should have been many years ago when the Netherworld Black Panther, an ancestor of Mei Qingchen, first planted Youluo Fragrance, only they might not have been aware at the time."

"But someone could cast certain spells to draw out the Youluo Fragrance from their bodies, thus controlling them."

"Since he was taken away by people from the Youluo Sword Sect, it indicates they can perform such spells."

"This spell is actually easier to control people than the Gu Worms of the Insect Clan."

Listening to all this, Su Muyao felt even more concerned, "Is there no way to undo this Youluo Fragrance?"

"Gu Worms have an antidote, this should also have a solution, right?"

Su Muyao was very worried for Mei Qingchen.

Di Fu Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "Normally, spirit plants also have things that counteract them. Youluo Fragrance surely also has its antidote."

"But this spirit plant has also long been lost, and Youluo Fragrance has long been lost."

After saying this, Di Fu Yuan looked at Su Muyao’s downcast expression, a bit heartbroken, and comforted her: "Maybe Youluo Fragrance and its antidote still exist somewhere in the Beast World, only we don’t know it."

"Even on the Fusang Continent, there are many ancient relics and unknown places."

"In fact, in some places on the Cang Beast Continent, beastmen have never set foot."

Su Muyao nodded, hoping to find the antidote.

Reflecting on Di Fu Yuan’s words just now, a flash of inspiration struck her mind, "Brother, do you think the Destructive Black Lotus and the Creation Green Lotus are also things that counteract each other?"

Di Fu Yuan nodded, "Hmm, you could say that."

"So as long as there is the power of the Creation Green Lotus, it can neutralize the power of the Destructive Black Lotus, right?"

Speaking of this, Su Muyao’s eyes radiated with a bright, dazzling light.

Di Fu Yuan said: "Strictly speaking, that is true, but nowadays, the power of the Creation Green Lotus has never been seen again in the world. On the other hand, part of the power of the Destructive Black Lotus has lingered in the Chaos Wild Beastman."

"The Chaos Wild Beastman has an Undying Body, and as long as their mind is unstable, the power of the Destructive Black Lotus can continue to manipulate them."

"Unless the will of the Chaos Wild Beastman can resist the Destructive Black Lotus, then they can weaken its power."

Su Muyao hesitated, indeed since the creation of the Beast World, there has been no record of the existence of the Creation Green Lotus.

"Brother, my sword is called the Green Lotus Sword, does it have any connection with the Creation Green Lotus?"

This sword would protect her at crucial moments, and it was also filled with spiritual energy.

Su Muyao took out the Green Lotus Sword and examined it closely, touching it, always feeling more and more connected with it.

Di Fu Yuan looked down at the sword and said: "There should be a trace of the Creation Green Lotus’s power in this sword, but it’s very weak."

"Still, it’s no match for the power of the Destructive Black Lotus."

"After the Creation Green Lotus made the Beast World, it also had to protect it. Rumor has it that the Heavenly Dao, a long time ago, was part of the strength split off from the Creation Green Lotus; however, the Destructive Black Lotus doesn’t need to do these things, all its power can be used for destruction."

"Normally, the power of the Creation Green Lotus should be strong enough too, able to suppress the Destructive Black Lotus, but for some reason, its power has weakened greatly, maybe it dispersed some power to do something."

This point, even Di Fu Yuan couldn’t figure out.

Is it protecting someone or guarding something?

Di Fu Yuan vaguely guessed it might be related to Su Muyao.

Because her true form is an Immortal Phoenix, closely tied to the fate of the Beast World.

Though unclear now, perhaps one day the mystery will be solved.

"Originally, they were also a kind of spirit plant, but certainly possessed with extraordinarily strong power."

Pausing, Di Fu Yuan continued: "Back when the clan was wiped out and the giant beast people were destroyed, there were also many traces of spirit plants."

"I thought it was manipulated by beastmen, but now I think, perhaps not."

After entering the dense forest, Su Muyao had witnessed the power of many spirit plants and felt that what her brother said could be possible.

She remembered a valley on the Cang Beast Continent, where there were statues of Chaos Wild Beastmen, with many spirit plants capable of attacking beastmen inside a certain door.

"Brother, do you think, after countless ages, beastmen could transform into human forms, gaining intelligence, and could spirit plants also transform and become Plant Demons?"

Di Fu Yuan tapped Su Muyao’s head helplessly, "What are you thinking?"

"There has never been a spirit plant turning into a human form, becoming a human."

"Just like wild beasts, no matter how many years passed, they are still wild beasts, different from beastmen."

"Both plants and spirit plants are the same."

Di Fu Yuan had never seen such a thing.

If it were true, the entire Beast World would be in chaos.

Su Muyao couldn’t help but let her imagination run wild.

But indeed, behind the Holy Mountain in the Forbidden Land, those plants of tens of thousands of years, are just plants.

She hadn’t seen herbs older than ten thousand years developing intelligence, none.

Recalling something, Su Muyao’s expression changed, "No, Brother, before at the Xuanyuan Clan, I participated in a sacrificial ceremony, they had a Holy Tree, when I placed my hand on it, I could hear it speak, it called itself Xiao Xing and called me its master, what does this mean?"

"Later, I heard it disappeared as a Holy Tree, at the time when Yun Qinglan opened the Ascension Road, it vanished with it."

"Over at the Su Family on the Mortal Beast Continent, when I used Time Reversal to look at past scenes, I could also hear the tree’s voice in our courtyard."

"I am certain it wasn’t an illusion."

Di Fu Yuan listened to this, his expression grew serious.

After contemplating for a while, he said: "If what you say is true, then maybe some spirit plants are different from other plants, and they too can have intelligence."

"If that Holy Tree still exists, maybe there are more questions it could answer."

Su Muyao said: "When I asked it at the time, it couldn’t remember much."

Di Fu Yuan softly said: "Since you are its master, one day it will appear again."

Su Muyao nodded, "Mm, for now, we still need to figure out how to save Mei Qingchen, and with my current weak power, I can’t help Shen Jinsuo with the Blood Clan’s internal turmoil either."

Di Fu Yuan said: "In a few days, the Taixu Secret Realm will open, it is said to be a very ancient place in the world, there should be great fortune there, you should go take a look."

"Maybe it will help answer some of your puzzles, and perhaps you could find the antidote for Youluo Fragrance as well."
