ithin the cruel eyes of the statue, a faint red glow flickered in each one, surging towards Gingercloud's nostrils.As these crimson rays poured in, Jiang Yun's already pale skin and face gradually tur...At this very moment, emerging from within the Ling Tree's body and appearing before Jiang Yun was a profound seal of immense size!

The Ling tree's interior is extremely vast, like a world unto itself.

And this mark, however, almost completely filled the inner body of the Spirit Tree. One can only imagine its size, vast as the sky.

When Ginger Cloud first saw this mark, she was deeply shocked.

Although the mark was somewhat unfamiliar to Jiang Yun, it also felt strangely familiar.

Because it is very similar to the Sealing Demon Stamp in the Nine Arts of Refining Demons!

Ginger Cloud came to personally observe the spirit tree because he suspected it had become a demon.

However, after trying various methods, Jiang Yun still couldn't sense any trace of demonic energy. In his helplessness, he used the Fuyin Seal, hoping to see if it could elicit the demonic energy from the spirit tree.

However, to his surprise, the demonic aura of the Spirit Tree did not appear, but instead, a mark very similar to the Demon Sealing Seal appeared.

It was precisely because of the appearance of this mark that Ling Shu suddenly conveyed a kind feeling towards Jiang Yun.

Even Jiang Yun had the illusion that this spirit tree seemed to be waiting for him.

Or, one might say that oneself and the spirit tree have been old friends for a very long time. Now, after a long separation, they finally meet again, a reunion of old friends.

However, Jiang Yun knew that the person Ling Shu was truly waiting for was not himself, but the master who had left this mark within Ling Shu's body.

This mark, although a little unfamiliar to Ginger Cloud, he could actually tell as a demon tamer that this mark was also a sealing mark for demons.

However, compared to the Seal of Confinement that Jiāng Qǐyún was familiar with and adept at controlling, this Seal of Confinement was far more complex and profound, its power also significantly greater.

Through this mark, Ginger Cloud could easily deduce that the person who left it was most likely the Night Emperor from back then, the Tyrant Slayer!

The Ling Tree is the ancestor of all trees within the Four Boundaries. It has existed for an immeasurable amount of time and long ago developed spiritual intelligence.

Logically speaking, from any angle, Ling Shu already possesses all the conditions to become a demon.

A spirit tree, yet it hasn't become a demon.

The reason

is simply because of this Sealing Demon Talisman.

The Seal of Demon Suppression sealed the Spirit Tree, preventing it from becoming a demon.

This situation also reminded Jiang Yun of when he was in the Yinling realm beast's body in the Shan Hai domain, and visited that desolate and chaotic world.

The chaotic and turbulent wasteland had actually given birth to a great demon, QingZhuo. QingZhuo was also sealed by the Blood Robe Demon Tamer with the Sealing Talisman.

The blood robe seals the impurities to prevent it from being discovered by the Dao Venerable. It is an attempt to preserve a pure land for as many living beings in the Dao Domain as possible.

And now, in this four-boundary hidden place, the Demon Slayer Emperor even before the Spirit Tree became a demon, left a seal of suppression within its body, preventing it from becoming a demon.

As for the Great Demon Emperor's purpose in doing so, Ginger Cloud didn't know if it was out of a kind of protection for the Spirit Tree, or because the Great Demon Emperor hated the demon race and tried as much as possible to prevent everything with spirituality within the Four Realms Treasury from becoming demons.

Jiang Yun himself tends towards the first possibility.

Because the Spirit Tree sensed that he was a demon cultivator after he became one, not only did it show him no hostility, but it also gave him an opportunity to experience the essence of wood.

Although the Ling tree failed to become a demon, it had already possessed spiritual intelligence. As Jiang Yun's identity as a demon refiner, it was naturally easy for him to communicate with it and inquire about the matter of Mu Ming. Only then did he learn that everything was orchestrated by Emperor Xuan.

The Xu Emperor had long been aware of the existence of the Ling Tree, even coming here to view it more than once.

After realizing he couldn't directly devour the Spirit Tree, Xuandi shifted his target to the Mu family. This led to the Mu family being chosen by the Heavenly Exterior, and his closer relationship with them, among other things.

After understanding all of this, Jiang Yun knew that if he wanted to help Mu Ming recover his original form, it would be tantamount to provoking Xuan Di's majesty and very likely to cause Xuan Di's retaliation.

For this, he also discussed with Ling Shu all possible consequences repeatedly.

Especially Ling Shu promised that she would do everything in her power to help the Mu family and Ginger Yun. Only after this did Ginger Yun make up her mind to rebuild Mu Ming's body.

Although Ling Shu failed to become a demon, and although it cannot be evaluated by the standards of cultivators, its ability to mobilize almost the entire power of plants in the Four Realms alone is enough to show that its strength should not be underestimated.

Everything developed exactly as Jiang Yun and Ling Shu had conceived.

The only thing I didn't expect was that Emperor Xuan would suddenly appear and set his sights on Jiang Yun, wanting Jiang Yun to help him achieve his own aesthetic.

But overall, Emperor Xuan has essentially solved the threats from the Mu family and Mu Ming, as well as the Spirit Tree.

And as for Mu Ming's situation, Jiang Yun was also completely confident that he could restore him to his original state.

Once Mu Ming became a former genius, Mu Ming's path of cultivation would no longer be something Jiang Yun needed to worry about.

Mu's path of cultivation is very simple, it is the way of wood.

As long as he can keep walking this path, one day, Mok will become the Emperor of Wood, the Overlord of Wood!

And this also means that, in a short time, Jiang Yun will have to leave Mu's family and go to Tianwaitian.

Therefore, at this moment, Jiang Yun gently reached out and touched the trunk of the Spirit Tree. Looking at the seal that appeared within it, after a long while, he softly spoke: "This demonic sealing mark is too profound. With my current strength, I am unable to break it."

But rest assured, one day I will return here, help you break the seal of the demon binding, and assist you in becoming a demon!

The Ling tree's trunk swayed gently, clearly having understood Jiang Yun's words and giving its own response.

Then Gingercloud continued, "After I've healed Woodfate, I'll be leaving. As for when I can come back, I don't know."

Well, by then, I won't even say hello to you.

"And don't be too careless, you should still be on guard against Emperor Xuan."

If he suddenly gets a whim and recklessly wants to devour you, there's nothing you can do to fight back.

"So, be careful yourself. If you notice anything suspicious, leave immediately and remember to let me know."

As for Mujia and Mu Ming, you don't need to worry too much about them. Each person has their own path to walk. Where they end up is entirely up to them.

Ginger spoke in a rambling way, and suddenly a branch fell from the spirit tree, just like a hand, gently caressing Ginger’s head.

At this moment, the spirit tree seems to have transformed into a kind and benevolent elder, watching over the growth of their juniors with contentment, listening to their chatter.

Although Jiang Yun and Ling Shu had only met twice, Jiang Yun was able to successfully comprehend the meaning of wood, thanks to Ling Shu imparting its own years of insights to Jiang Yun. This allowed Jiang Yun to experience the vicissitudes of Ling Shu's growth.

So, Gingercloud's feelings toward Lingtree were truly like those of a grandchild toward their elder.

After talking for so long, Jiang Yun himself shook his head and smiled wryly, realizing that he was becoming more and more like his senior brother in terms of being nagged.

Jiang Yun finally retracted his palm, took a step back, and bowed to the Ling Tree once more. He smiled and said, "Alright, I'm leaving. The next time we meet, it will be the day you become a demon!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang Yun's figure soared into the air and flew towards the Mu family.

The ling tree also raised its branches, still swaying gently, as if bidding farewell to Jiangyun.

At the same time, within Ling Shu's body, a figure suddenly appeared on the Seal of Confinement!untered on the Zheitian Ancient Road were actually just spiritual puppets.Then Jiang Yun continued, "Ling Kui wasn't created, was it It formed naturally, didn't it"Two words, though they sound similar...
