The power concept contained in the two decrees were different, but there was a similarity.
Similar to the first stone talisman decree, this second bamboo talisman decree also contained a sense of protection and grandeur.
. It didn’t match a certain Sect Master surnamed Chen.
However, it was unknown whether it was because of the previous battle of guarding the Divine Lands or because of the foundation laid down by the first imperial decree, but Chen Luoyang didn’t encounter any obvious rejection when he tried to comprehend the second imperial decree.
Although there were still some obstacles, it was still within the tolerance range.
This treasure was extraordinary to begin with. Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for a Martial Monarch Realm martial artist to truly comprehend the power concept within.
The Lone Blood Village had a precious treasure, but it was not of much use. On one hand, it was because his demonic cultivation and his dark and greedy style did not match the treasure. On the other hand, it was also because his cultivation realm was not high enough.
Back when Chen Luoyang obtained the first imperial decree, the situation was similar.
Su Mingjue was the first person to handle it, and because his will was in sync with the decree, he was barely able to activate the power of the decree.
However, his cultivation realm was too low, and the power he could activate was very limited. In the end, he was easily taken down by Chen Luoyang.
As for Chen Luoyang, he had to rely on the help of the black pot to subdue that imperial decree.
Even so, the imperial decree was still resisting his and the Black Pot’s suppression.
After that, with the help of the Black Pot and the Divine Martial Devil Fist’s Houtu fist technique, Chen Luoyang spent a long time before he finally made substantial progress.
Now, the second imperial decree was much more docile than the first one in front of Chen Luoyang.
This seemed to be a good start.
Thus, Chen Luoyang tried to refine and analyze this jade talisman decree that looked like a bamboo scroll without the help of the black pot.
Although he really wanted to test whether the second imperial decree would help the black pot to regenerate a new transformation, it was a rather troublesome matter for the treasure to enter the black pot and not be taken out.
Since there was already the first imperial decree inside, he might as well try putting the second imperial decree outside.
Chen Luoyang sat upright in the dark underground world and absorbed the surrounding black fog. He gathered it around him and used it as a foundation to summon the bamboo-slip-like decree.
This time, he did not use the black pot. His confidence was mainly based on the foundation laid by the first talisman decree.
The black fog gradually surrounded the jade talisman that looked like a bamboo slip.
Then, as time passed, the black fog condensed into a thick land that spread out in all directions, forming a complete land.
The jade piece that looked like a bamboo slip had already disappeared in front of Chen Luoyang as if it had been buried into the ground.
Chen Luoyang wasn’t anxious. He sat cross-legged on the pitch-black ground and silently meditated. His mind was communicating with the two edicts.
He seemed to have planted a seed.
Now, the seed was buried in the soil, quietly absorbing nutrients, waiting for the moment it sprouted.
Time continued to pass, but there was no movement from the seed.
For example, Chen Luoyang had planted a sapling, but it had already died.
Chen Luoyang continued to sit still.
The surroundings were silent, and not a single sound could be heard.
Chen Luoyang waited patiently. Every day, he would silently cultivate and occasionally get up to get rid of the people from the Mortal Dust World who came to the Divine Lands to inquire about news. This ensured that the outside world would never be able to figure out the depths of this place.
One after another, he buried them in the ground as fertilizer.
Seven days later, a faint sound suddenly came from the quiet and dark underground world.
The sound was so soft that it was easily ignored.
However, Chen Luoyang wouldn’t. This was because before this sound could be heard, his heart had moved slightly and he had sensed it.
It originated from the two decrees.
At this moment, the change finally arrived.
Although it was very subtle, one could see that a spot on the ground began to loosen slightly.
The shaking of the loosened dark earth became more and more intense until it shook like an earthquake.
Chen Luoyang was calm as he watched the black ground in front of him split open. A sapling grew out of it and soared into the sky. It rapidly grew into a lush foliage that was comparable to the sky.
The huge tree trunk was straight, and its branches and leaves extended in all directions. Soon, it became so huge that it covered the sky and the sun. It was so huge that it was breathtaking.
Chen Luoyang looked up at this towering tree. He didn’t blindly approach it but focused his attention and felt it first.
In the end, he discovered that this was the giant tree that the second talisman decree had transformed into.
It clearly looked like a bamboo scroll, and I thought that a piece of bamboo would grow out…As Chen Luoyang complained in his heart, he took a step forward and raised his palm. He pressed it on the trunk of the giant tree and took a step forward to comprehend the concept within.
When the two sides came into contact, Chen Luoyang felt a vigorous vitality flowing into his body from the tree trunk.
This feeling was different from the Heavenly Book of Life.
If one had to say, the ” Life ” Heavenly Book was completely objective and neutral. There was no bias, no standpoint, and no thoughts.
It did contain extremely powerful life force, but that was only because the power itself existed. There was no bias to speak of.
The life force within the towering tree clearly revealed a will, or a sense of mission. It was to actively nourish and protect all living things, to seek blessings for all living things, and to nurture all living things.
From this point of view, it was similar to the aura of the decree itself.
Chen Luoyang quietly pondered over the concepts and principles within it, and he began to have a better understanding of it.
However, I can’t carry such a big tree around with me in the future, right?
As he thought about this, Chen Luoyang attempted to communicate with the second imperial decree.
The towering tree began to shake gently.
Its body shrank, then enlarged again, then continued to shrink, and then enlarged again.
After repeating this a few times, the towering tree finally shrank all the way, gradually returning to the appearance of a small sapling. It even continued to shrink until it finally shrank back into the ground.
Chen Luoyang tapped his finger lightly on the ground.
Then, the ground cracked open, and the talisman decree that looked like a bamboo slip appeared in front of him again.
Chen Luoyang waved his hand, and the ‘bamboo scroll’ returned to his palm.
He began to try to do what he did with the black mirror, and his mind was slightly immersed in this “bamboo slip” like jade talisman decree.
Chen Luoyang, who had already established a preliminary connection with the other party, seemed to have a brand new door in front of him.
Chen Luoyang reached out and pushed the door open.
For the first time, the door shook slightly but did not open.
Chen Luoyang wasn’t discouraged and activated the power of the first imperial decree to assist once again.
Thus, Chen Luoyang successfully pushed open this illusory door the second time and entered it.
When his consciousness entered the door, he could see that there was a huge space inside, as if it was boundless.
And in this vast world, he saw the giant tree again.
Although this giant tree was an illusion, he could still feel the exuberant vitality within it.
However, it was different from the giant tree he saw just now.
Chen Luoyang focused his attention and looked over carefully. He saw that there were clearly many balls of light hanging on the branches of the giant tree. They looked like fruits.
He urged his consciousness to come to the giant tree like a corporeal human body. Then, he climbed up and arrived in front of a ” fruit. Chen Luoyang attempted to touch this ‘fruit’, but he failed.
The fruit-like ball of light was empty.
Chen Luoyang was astonished. Hence, he tested the other ‘fruits’ but there was no reaction.
Those light balls were like lights, seemingly having no special function.
Chen Luoyang frowned slightly.
He retreated a little and went far away. Then, he looked back at the towering tree and pondered.
A moment later, Chen Luoyang once again activated the power of the first imperial decree.
Earth and Wood merged again.
The illusory world in front of him changed.
The dark land carried the towering trees.
The dim river water flowed around the giant tree like the legendary River of Forgetfulness.
Chen Luoyang came to the tree again, but this time, he didn’t attempt to climb up. Instead, he sank down.
It sank into the earth.
They arrived at the roots of the giant tree.
With the black pot backing him up, Chen Luoyang made a risky move.
He forcefully urged the power of the “Earth” decree, and with the help of the earth, he tried to merge his soul into the roots of this giant tree.
Gradually, the scene in front of him changed again.
Chen Luoyang felt as if he had become one with this towering divine tree.
This part of his vision had obviously changed.
It was as if he had transformed into a divine tree.
At this moment, he could feel the luxuriant branches and leaves of the divine tree extending in all directions in the sky. It was like countless tentacles that reached into the vast void together.
There seemed to be countless light spots flashing in front of him.
When Chen Luoyang saw this scene, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, causing him to mutter in his heart.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Luoyang didn’t act immediately. Instead, he first tried to retrieve this portion of his consciousness from the second decree that looked like a bamboo scroll.
After trying and finding that there was no effect, he fused his mind into the bamboo slip again and fused with the towering divine tree.
Then, looking at the light spots in front of him, he focused on one of them. After that, the other light spots dimmed and disappeared, while the light spot that Chen Luoyang was paying attention to suddenly enlarged and became as bright as the sun.
This ” sun ” had fused with a ball of light that looked like a fruit on the divine tree.
Then, Chen Luoyang, who was in the perspective of the Divine Tree, seemed to be watching his body bear fruit.
A blurry figure appeared in the ” fruit. ‘
“Where is this place?” A voice came from within.
Chen Luoyang looked at the ‘fruit’ and the figure within it and was momentarily speechless.
His guess just now actually came true.
This divine tree actually had the same function as the left eye in the black mirror.
In the real world, Chen Luoyang held his forehead with his palm.
Does this mean I have a second group?
