Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 478 - 433: Planting Trees Alien Race

When mentioning the Ancient Tomb, Wu Hen thought of the killer's elderly father; their family had engaged in this generation after generation, even excavating the graves of some ancestors from the Holy Sect.

"This matter will be troublesome for us to handle, we should report it to Bright Venerable and let some who have developed the Purification Technique take care of it," Qingxi said.

"But there should be many treasures inside, it would be a pity to leave without taking anything," Wu Hen said.

"Junior brother, these relics resurrected from Ancient Times are very dangerous. In fact, the Battle Song Hall was formed in the same way. We didn't just enter a small inner world designated by our ancestors; it's more likely that through the stone gate of the Battle Song Hall, we entered into a battlefield from the Ancient Times. That's why we could see so many rare totems. Similarly, these Ancient Evil God Tombs might also be guarded by powerful life forms from that era. Entering rashly without understanding would only increase our danger," Qingxi explained.

"So, you're saying we need a guide to enter safely?" Wu Hen asked.

Qingxi looked helpless, this junior brother of hers really refused to see reason, adamantly unwilling to relinquish such a treasure-rich cursed land to the Bright Venerables.

"It would be better to gather some information before we venture in, as some forbidden lands might suppress our Holy Power," Qingxi, seeing she could not dissuade him, had no choice but to say.

"I know someone who can guide us, remember the old friend I visited the first time we met? He has researched these things extensively," Wu Hen said.

"Alright, junior brother go invite him while I check out another place," Qingxi said.

"Okay, see you later."

…

Qingxi flew toward the White Pine City Domain of Tongtian City. Whether in the streets, the courtyards, or the forests, all were filled with Snow White Pine, which looked like an early snowfall, adding a pure and simple beauty to the splendor of the entire Tongtian City.

Seeing these Snow White Pines cheered Qingxi up inexplicably.

Following Cloud Needle's guidance, Qingxi landed at a temple that sheltered many people of Alien Races; they worked with the monks in simple herb gathering and farming.

She walked around the temple, offered a stick of incense, made a small wish, but soon the Cloud Needle in her hands began to tremble violently. Its tip pointed toward the forest outside the temple, where Spiritual Energy was abundant with a purple mist swirling around. At first glance, there seemed to be no signs of Barbaric Soil erosion, but the Cloud Needle indicated a problem with the soil.

Disguised as an ordinary tourist, Qingxi walked toward the outer forest.

On the forest path, a man dressed in Alien attire stood with pale cheeks and neatly combed hair, playing with a Feather-shaped Blade in his hand and gazing lazily and arrogantly at the mortals coming and going in the temple.

"Lady, there is a ritual in progress here; please do not go any further," the man in Alien attire said.

Qingxi pretended not to hear and continued forward.

Soon, the man gripped the Feather-shaped Blade in his hand, his eyes fixed intently on Qingxi. Noticing Qingxi's extraordinary beauty and appealing figure, his tone changed slightly, and he smiled lazily, "Miss, there is an exorcism ritual happening in the forest designed to drive away evil spirits like some hard-to-detect poisonous insects that silently crawl onto people. It might be best not to go any further."

"What sort of ritual, I'd like to see," Qingxi asked.

The Barbaric Soil, which could cause Earth Erosion to the entire Holy Land, might be naturally formed or might have been brought in intentionally. The Holy Sect has stood in the Cang Chu Divine Realm for thousands of years and has many enemies. Some sects might deliberately bring this Barbaric Soil into Tongtian City to plant hidden dangers and create chaos.

"Nothing special, it's just planting some seeds. The trees that grow from them will have a purifying effect," the man in Alien attire said.

"But this whole of White Pine City is filled with Snow White Pine, what you are planting doesn't seem like pine, and the soil seems to be changing its color," Qingxi glanced at the soil inside the forest, already noticing the changes in the soil quality.

The soil flowed with faint shades of green, purple, and red, and other colors were gestating.

"Miss, I've already asked you nicely," the man in alien attire clearly lost his patience in explaining.

"This is temple grounds. As a citizen of Tongtian City, I can walk freely, and you have no right to stop me," Qingxi said.

Qingxi took a step forward and continued towards the forest. The changing colors of the soil, as if lit by the sunset, were a sight to behold.

But Qingxi had a holy duty. She had to ascertain whether these people were sowing Barbaric Soil. If so, they were all heretics and must be eradicated!

"Hmph!" The man in alien attire scoffed as he extended his hand, his palm scorching hot, like a red-hot iron clamp, striking towards Qingxi.

Qingxi's wrist was seized, and she felt the man's strong hostility.

She raised her other hand and struck at him. Her palm contained the force of Qingxi's True Essence Power. The strike might have seemed gentle, but the Holy Power released from her palm exploded like an oceanic tsunami, barreling toward the man's internal organs.

The man in alien attire initially looked disdainful. But before he could subdue Qingxi, he was blasted backward, tumbling through countless ancient pines, plowing a long trench in the forest.

The man in alien attire was shocked. He looked incredulously at this ordinary-dressed woman.

Qingxi flew toward the woods; the Cloud Needle began to tremble violently.

She stopped, her gaze involuntarily resting on a newly planted tree that radiated a faint fragrant scent.

This young tree, clearly recently planted and nourished by Spiritual Soil, grew rapidly, its trunk and branches expanding visibly.

At first, Qingxi thought it was a Barbaric plant. But upon closer inspection, she found it lacked aggression and resembled a normal Snow White Pine, harmless in nature.

"What kind of tree have you planted here?" Qingxi began to interrogate.

There was no answer; Qingxi turned towards where the man had fallen.

Her sight had only recently recovered, and Qingxi's vision wasn't as sharp as before. She now realized that the man in alien attire she had injured had vanished without a trace!

He had fled quickly and was evidently no weakling.

Now that Qingxi had achieved True Essence and possessed a Holy Soul, there were few in Tongtian City who could withstand her palm strike. Remarkably, the man from the Alien Race still had the energy to escape.

...

In the River Courtyard of White Pine City, the man dressed in alien attire clutched his chest, staggering as he fled into the courtyard.

Just as he entered the yard, he spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood. Fortunately, people were in the courtyard. They rushed over to help him.

"Zhuang Yuan, how did you get injured?" Fei Ying asked in surprise.

"I encountered a formidable woman. She discovered the number 3 Soul Nesting Wood we'd just planted!" Zhuang Yuan replied.
