Chapter 1041: Chapter 502: The Origin of Tires_3

Qin Lang snapped his fingers, and the obsessions lingering in everyone’s hearts vanished in an instant, while the Life Gu sank back down to the bottom of the Medicine King Cauldron.

"Fortunately, Granny’s righteousness allowed us this opportunity to fulfill the old wishes of the ancestors." Qin Lang smiled at Granny and then respectfully bowed.

"So this is..." The Junior Sister glanced at the silver holy tree seedling beside her and then at Qin Lang. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Qin Lang, "Yes, this is the result. The Life Gu gave most of its power to the seed, which sprouted this new holy tree seedling."

Lao Di, who had been quietly listening on the side, spoke up at this moment.

"So, Valley Master Qin, your constant pondering of our holy tree was influenced by the Life Gu?"

Yet Qin Lang shook his head at the words, openly saying, "I’m a Gu Master, not some gu’s servant, why would I be easily influenced.

"My collecting and protecting various spirit plants and divine woods, peering into your holy tree—all come from my own intentions.

"I do it because fighting against others is endlessly fun."

Di Zhuomala was speechless; she temporarily felt that this person was both upright and shameless.

Looking at Qin Lang’s bright and sunny smile, she suddenly understood why Granny was so fed up with Mr. Qin.

’Hmm, I need to hang that sign warning against fire, theft, and Qin Lang again when I get home.’

...

On the second day after the silver holy tree seedling took root in the heart of the Central Continent, Zhang Ze followed his door-kicking team to this place.

Seeing the tree seedling a mere hundred meters tall, Zhang Ze exclaimed in awe, then extended his hands back, preparing for a one-legged squat.

Seeing Zhang Ze’s actions, understanding what he was about to do, the Junior Sister immediately lunged forward.

She slid forward and took Zhang Ze down, pinning him to the ground.

But it was too late, the holy tree seedling had already heard Zhang Ze’s mumbling and began to turn pink.

Luckily, Granny Anya was also there, and as Junior Sister pinned down Zhang Ze, she managed to coax the holy tree seedling, which was oblivious to Zhang Ze’s malicious intent, back to its senses.

The pink turned back to silver.

Silver is indeed better.

Zhang Ze, "Pink was better..."

Junior Sister, "Better, my foot!"

...

Afterwards, nothing happened, and after one final check, Zhang Ze led his invincible team along the roots of the holy tree seedling, diving beneath the Earth Sea.

Colorless light surrounded everyone, creating a patch of pure land in the Earth Sea.

Zhang Ze recalled the memories he got from the Little Monk, slowly discerning the direction, avoiding the occasional ’vortex’ and ’undercurrent.’

Since this was not his first time doing such a thing, Zhang Ze proceeded with a lot of confidence, and soon he led everyone to ’dive’ to the target location.

"We’re here." Zhang Ze said.

Lu Yuzhou, "Huh?... We’re here?"

Zhang Ze, "Yes, we’re here, just beneath our feet."

This experience, even for Mahayana cultivators, was somewhat novel, the feeling of having nothing to rely on, constantly at risk of dissipating into nothingness, was both terrifying and strangely alluring.

Like walking along the edge of a cliff.

So when they heard Zhang Ze’s voice and felt the ’solid sensation’ beneath their feet, they all paused for a moment before simultaneously breathing a sigh of relief.

Even the Giant Turtle Zhulu felt the same.

Though empty, what they now stood on was the ’outer shell’ of Baiyujing.

"How do we get in?" Qin Lang curiously asked.

"That’s simple, just wait for me a bit."

Zhang Ze indicated for everyone to wait patiently, and then he began rummaging through his tattered Hundred Treasures Bag.

"Found it."

With that, Zhang Ze took out what he needed from it.

However, after taking it out, he found he had apparently taken out the wrong thing.

With a handheld playing card, the bewildered Little Earth Immortal was pulled out of the Hundred Treasures Bag by Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze gave him an awkward smile and then stuffed him back inside.

After this, Zhang Ze pulled out the wrong thing two more times.

Finally, after pulling out and placing the angry Li, who had been mistakenly taken out twice in a row, on his shoulder, he no longer made mistakes, and pulled out the correct key.

A stone arm akin to a middle finger in size.

This object could break open the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm with Brother Feng, so there’s no reason it couldn’t also break open this Baiyujing.

Zhang Ze hefted that giant arm, closed his eyes, and began to feel around.

He placed the middle finger on the shell of Baiyujing, gently brushing, rubbing repeatedly, occasionally tapping and patting it.

His technique was skilled.

After messing around for quite some time, Zhang Ze finally found the feeling, pinpointing the weak spot, he seized the moment and plunged in the man-sized middle finger.

As the middle finger penetrated, a crack appeared in front of everyone.

Just like when entering the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, a powerful suction force emanated from the crack, and Zhang Ze only had time to retract the arm back into the Hundred Treasures Bag.

...

Baiyujing.

Zhang Ze opened his eyes and got up from the ground, feeling somewhat confused as he looked around at the surroundings.

"Did I go the wrong way?"

He didn’t see the Divine Capital named Baiyujing, all he saw was a barren wasteland of desert and gravel.

Besides, there was something else that made things difficult.

His invincible teammates were not beside him, nor could they be found anywhere around.

Even Li, who was supposed to be perched on his shoulder, was nowhere to be seen.
