The Core of the Original Wood

Chapter 902: The Core of the Wood Reveals Its Edge

The Yuanmu tree is lush and green, covering the vast territory of the Yuanjie. All the heavens in the Yuanjie sky revolve around this Yuanmu tree. It doesn’t seem like much when viewed from a distance, but the closer you get to the Yuanmu tree, the more spectacular it seems.

Although Mother Earth Yuanjun is dead, this Yuanmu tree still has amazing vitality.

The gods in heaven collected divine gold from all the heavens and built the most grand and magnificent palace in the canopy of the Yuanmu tree. It was built according to the specifications of the Heavenly Palace, with Yaochi, Yujing, and thousands of palaces and halls, which was called the Yuanjie Heavenly Palace.

The true body of the ancient god Emperor of Heaven is in the Heavenly Palace, while "Yu Tianzun" remains in the Metaverse as a weapon to suppress the Metaverse, and lives in the Lingxiao Hall of the Metaverse Heavenly Palace.

The Heavenly Palace is extremely luxurious, but the root of the Yuanmu is the darkest place. The Heavenly Army has piled up countless corpses of gods and demons from the Yuan Realm here as nutrients for the Yuanmu.

Amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood is the prison of the Yuan Realm.

The prison was built in the darkest and filthiest place in the metaverse. The gods and men in heaven used bones to build walls and cages to imprison the serious criminals in the metaverse. There was no sunlight here, and the wind was gusty. It was extremely cold and damp. Moreover, because there were too many corpses of gods and demons, the ground was covered with the blood of gods and demons that had never dried up. Monsters were often born from the filth and ran rampant in the prison.

Few gods from heaven would come here; only the jailers and judges from heaven would settle here.

The jailers, prison guards and judges of heaven are all demons from the Netherworld. The filth of this place is unbearable for others, but it is quite comfortable for them.

At this time, many guests came to the prison. A woman dressed in exquisite ladies' clothes frowned as she watched a prison guard carrying a newly born monster and washing it in a pool of blood, making the monster covered in blood.

The prison guard washed it, and the monster was still squeaking, with the divine blood and demonic blood splattering everywhere on its body. The prison guard then lifted it up and opened his mouth wide to put the blood into the monster's mouth.

The woman quickly turned her head away, not daring to look closely.

"Senior Sister Yun Huayan, the prison guards here are demons born in the Nether City. The monsters born from the filth and darkness are their food. These monsters are extremely disgusting to you, but they are extremely delicious food to them."

A young man next to the woman smiled gently and said, "Especially newly born monsters, they are even more delicious."

Yun Huayan covered her mouth and nose, frowned and said, "This prison is too barbaric, it's not a place for people to stay. Why hasn't that Yankang Tyrant come yet? Let's deal with him as soon as possible so that we can report back."

The prison guard's eyes lit up, and he grabbed a monster from the pool of blood, held it in his hand and said to the young man with a grin, "Master Taoyu, this is fresh, do you want to eat it?"

The young man Taoyu frowned and waved his hands quickly.

The prison guard sighed, "What a pity!" and went to wash in the blood pool again. Suddenly, a big man in a dark black round-necked robe came over and said with a smile, "Why don't you eat such delicious food? Lord Prison Guard, wash it for me. I like it."

The prison guard washed the monster clean and handed it over.

The big man suddenly opened his mouth wide, and his mouth was like a pool of blood, swallowing the squeaking monster.

Taoyu, Yun Huayan and the others all frowned, and Yun Huayan shouted, "Vimalakirti, that's enough!"

The big man Vimalakirti ate the monster, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with a chuckle: "You are from the God Clan, and I am from the Demon Clan, and I want to eat this. As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. You guys should try it too!"

Tao Yu's face changed drastically, and he changed the subject, saying, "The Yankang Tyrant Body is Mu Tianzun among the Nine Tianzun. I heard that in the early years of Longhan, he was the one who passed on the law on behalf of Yu Tianzun, allowing the creatures in the world to become gods. Once the law of becoming a god is released, the creatures in the world can be on par with the ancient gods and have a long lifespan. We are ordered to get rid of him, shall we..."

Vimalakirti chuckled and said, "If he doesn't pass on the method of becoming a god, then Lord Haotian will. I heard from my master that this Lord Mu Tianzun is just trying to steal the credit from Lord Haotian. This fame-seeking person happened to travel to the Longhan era by chance, and the stupid Emperor of Heaven was given the title of Lord Tianzun by him..."

"shut up!"

Yun Huayan looked around vigilantly. Upon hearing the news, a large number of masters had rushed here to wait for Qin Mu, a total of four to five hundred people. They were all young masters of the Heavenly Court, a mixed bunch, and had many eyes and ears.

These young masters are all young disciples from the major palaces of Heaven. When Heaven attacks the Metaverse, they are ordered to join the army, enter the Metaverse to fight and gain experience, and achieve military merits, so that they will have hope of promotion in the future.

"If you criticize the Emperor of Heaven, you will die!"

Yun Huayan lowered her voice and said, "If word of this gets to Heaven, even Master can't protect you!"

Vimalakirti smiled and said, "In the Heavenly Palace, Master has never taken the Emperor of Heaven seriously. What's the harm in saying it? If we were to travel back to the Longhan era, let alone the title of Tianzun, even if it was the Emperor of Heaven, hehe..." Having said that, he still lowered his voice.

"The Western Heavenly Palace, the Northern Heavenly Palace, the Qianyun Heavenly Palace, the Bisha Heavenly Palace, the Wuming Heavenly Palace, the Miluo Heavenly Palace, the Guangming Heavenly Palace, the Miaoyan Heavenly Palace..."

Tao Yu whispered, “Almost all the major palaces in the Heavenly Court have sent their most elite disciples here. Our Taoist Jade Purity Palace may not be able to take the lead and eliminate Mu Tianzun!”

"Mu Tianzun has a false reputation. It is said that he is half dead and has no soul. Whoever strikes first will win. We are a step late and won't even get a drink of soup!"

Vimalakirti said: "In my opinion, we should go outside the prison, wait for the Lord Mu Tianzun to come, and then get the credit!"

Tao Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "I just saw that many strong men from various heavenly palaces have gone outside, and they obviously have the same plan. If we rush over now, I'm afraid that Mu Tianzun would have been killed long ago."

Vimalakirti urged, "If we stay here, we will get nothing! Master said that if we can achieve this merit, he will recommend us to follow Lord Haotian, and Lord Haotian will guide us in cultivation for thirty years!"

Yun Huayan and Tao Yu gritted their teeth, and the three of them immediately walked out of the prison. At the same time, more than a dozen people walked out of the prison.

The three of them couldn't help but get anxious, and they each sped up and rushed out at lightning speed.

The three of them ran for more than a thousand miles and finally left the dozen or so people from other Heavenly Palaces behind. Just as they were about to speak, they suddenly saw a red light in front of them and the sound of fighting came from the red light.

"Mu Tianzun has arrived!"

The three of them were overjoyed. Vimalakirti took the lead and ran towards the red light, saying hastily, "Hurry up! Someone has already taken action. If you are a step late, Mu Tianzun will be killed by others!"

He was extremely fast, and as he ran, his body expanded. In an instant, he turned into a demon god, roaring and roaring.

Tao Yu and Yun Huayan lagged behind, and were both shocked: "Since Senior Brother Weimalakirti came to the lower world, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds! It is just as Master said, only fighting can make us grow quickly and comprehend more profound Taoist magic!"

The two tried their best to catch up, and suddenly, they saw a strange scene. A hole suddenly appeared in the head of Vimalakirti in front of them, and it was transparent from front to back.

The two were stunned for a moment, and then they heard a voice: "Long Pang, Sister Yan'er, I found another use for the core of the original wood. You see, it can be transformed into extremely small wooden needles. If I use the wooden needles to perform sword skills, such as the simplest move, stabbing..."

Taoyu had sharp eyes and immediately saw a wooden needle as thin as a hair coming in front of him!

Tao Yu roared, runes flew, and he used the great magic of the Heavenly Court Taoism to construct defensive magic. In an instant, hundreds of Black Tortoise shields appeared in front of him!

Hundreds of layers of Xuanwu shields were broken by the wooden needles at such a speed that only a slight "pop" sound was heard.

The wooden needle entered Taoyu's left eye and came out from the back of his head.

Tao Yu's head was buzzing, his soul was disintegrating, and he turned his head with difficulty and said to Yun Huayan: "Senior Sister, run..."

A ball of blood spread out from his left eye, and Yun Huayan's figure was reflected on the surface of his pupil.

Yun Huayan was urging the Taoist sword to cut towards an extremely thin wooden needle. A tiny pinhole immediately appeared on the extremely bright surface of the Taoist sword. The next moment, Yun Huayan groaned, and a tiny beam of blood burst out from behind her head.

Tao Yu's vision was blurred, and at this moment he saw a huge creature that was half dragon and half unicorn walking towards him on a cloud of fire. Above the head of the monster, a young man raised two fingers and gently pinched a small wooden needle.

There was a chubby bird on the young man's shoulder, holding a magic pill and feeding it to the dragon unicorn.

“Mr. Mu Tianzun…” Tao Yu’s eyes went dark as a corpse fell down.

Long Qilin walked slowly towards the prison, frowning and looking down. He saw the devil blood and god blood turning into rivers, which were extremely filthy. There were also many insect-like monsters swimming in the blood.

"Is this where Imperial Master Yankang and Emperor Yanfeng are imprisoned?"

Long Qilin said in a muffled voice: "Emperor Yanfeng is easy to deal with, but the Imperial Master loves cleanliness the most. Can he tolerate it?"

Qin Mu flicked his finger, and the wooden needle flew out silently, flying towards the dozen or so Heavenly Court masters who were rushing towards this side. He said, "Emperor Yanfeng doesn't care whether it's clean or not. He can even sleep in a pigsty. The State Master really likes cleanliness. I'm afraid he can't sleep."

The wooden needles flew back.

Long Qilin continued to move forward, and corpses around him fell from the sky, dancing and falling into the blood river. The blood river was like a boiling pot, with countless monsters making trouble and fighting for the corpses in the river.

"If this core of the original wood can be transformed into a wooden sword, it would be extremely powerful."

Qin Mu sighed, suddenly held the wooden needle, and said: "Long--"

The wooden needle was still as thin as before, but in an instant it grew to a length of a hundred miles, like an imperceptible thin thread reaching a hundred miles away.

Qin Mu tightly grasped the thin thread of a hundred miles and performed a sword technique. Several young masters of the Heavenly Court a hundred miles away were suddenly torn into pieces before they knew what was happening.

Even though Qin Mu's swordsmanship was performed from a distance of hundreds of miles, it was still extremely delicate, leaving people no time to dodge!

Moreover, the core of the original wood is so thin that it is almost imperceptible.

"This treasure given by Mother Earth is really useful." Qin Mu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration again.

They finally arrived at the prison, where a prison guard stopped them. Standing on a gate made of a giant skull, he looked down from above and shouted, "Who are you?"

"Yankang Qin Mu."

Qin Mu announced his name: "I'm here to visit the prison."

The prison guard was shocked and did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly opened the gate. The skull that was a hundred feet tall opened its mouth and let them in. He said, "Your Excellency Mu Tianzun actually dared to come to the prison. You are very brave! Please come in, there are many good friends waiting for you in the prison. Some have been waiting for four or five months!"

Qin Mu walked into the city, and saw hundreds of masters looking at him in unison, each with a gleam in their eyes.

"Master Mu Tianzun..." Someone could hardly suppress his excitement, his body trembled and he muttered.

Suddenly, a young god flew out and shouted, "There is only one Mu Tianzun, but we have hundreds of people. How should we divide it?"

For a moment, there was an uproar outside the prison, and everyone was talking about it.

"Everyone! Everyone!"

Qin Mu waited for a while, but they still hadn't come up with a set of rules. He couldn't help but shout, "You don't need to discuss it anymore. Look at what I have in my hand."

The noise stopped and everyone looked at his hand, only to see that Qin Mu was holding a small wooden needle.

Qin Mu smiled and said, "Big."

boom--

A wooden pillar that was a hundred miles long and a hundred feet thick suddenly appeared. He picked it up and crushed it all the way along the prison. He flattened the surroundings with one stick, and countless people were crushed to pieces!

The wooden pillar disappeared without a trace. The surviving masters of heaven flew in the air, extremely terrified, and hurriedly searched for where the pillar was.

Qin Mu asked the stunned prison guard, "Where is Jiang Baigui being held?"

The prison guard was horrified and said quickly, "Please follow me, Lord."

He was leading the way when suddenly a corpse fell from the sky and landed at his feet with a bang.

The prison guard was shocked and looked up quickly. Corpses were falling like rain from the sky. The masters of heaven seemed to have encountered an invisible death-taker, and turned into corpses falling from the sky.

————Zhaizhu’s hometown is Xiao County. This time, the flood in Xiao County killed more than ten people. I heard that a family was in the basement and couldn’t get out. My parents are in the countryside. The government sent them purified water and rice and flour, so they don’t have to worry for the time being. At present, the flood is knee-deep, and I don’t know when it will recede.
