Sothing even the Director can't figure out?
In other words, the mysterious nature of those two withered old locust trees on Iron Back Mountain has already surpassed the limits of human wisdom.
The Director possesses the peak of human intelligence, yet even he can't co up with any results in a short ti.
Just what exactly are these two old locust trees?
And what could possibly be the reason for their withering?
This...
This is truly terrifying the more you think about it!
Just a half-ter-long section of tree root contains enough energy to create hundreds of Tier Fives out of thin air.
You have to know, even though the exposed trunk of the old locust tree above ground is only about a dozen ters tall,
its root system is practically bottomless.
Iron Back Mountain was blasted into a gigantic pit several hundred, even up to a thousand ters deep, yet only managed to reveal a tiny fraction of its roots.
The most important point? These old locust trees are still in a withered state....
If...
If they weren't withered?
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan felt like his pig brain was overloading, finding it hard to process everything.
But on second thought, since he'd already handed the locust tree root to the Director, let him go and research it slowly!
No need for him to worry about it from afar.
His biggest priority now is hunting down evil spirits, continuing to inscribe the Ten Yama Kings Tattoos on his soul.
When he's finished completely inscribing the Ten Yama Kings Tattoos, that's when he'll step into Tier Three.
If he can break through to Tier Three, while still unable to compare to the old school Tier Twos like the World Honored and the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder,
becoming a Tier Three at such a young age already qualifies him to set foot on Qingqiu Mountain and et Bai Ling'Er.
Lin Yuan chatted briefly with the Director before taking the initiative to leave.
The Director had made no progress in his research on the locust tree's root—the less progress he made, the more he wanted to dig deeper.
Now, the Director was completely absorbed by this matter, and didn't have the ti to bother with Lin Yuan at all.
Seeing the Director was too busy to pay attention to him, Lin Yuan didn't linger any longer.
After all, if the Director makes any substantive progress on the locust tree root, it could be an opportunity to elevate the strength of the whole Dragon Country.
After leaving Emperor Dragon City, instead of returning to Peng City right away, Lin Yuan chose to visit his little sister-in-law's dojo first.
In the battle against the Ghost Leader, his little sister-in-law had risked her life to shield him from the Ghost Leader's attack, a blow that left her seriously injured.
The last ti Lin Yuan went to the Mysterious World, she was in seclusion healing. He had no idea how her injuries were now.
The Yellow Springs Road Tattoo was no longer giving Lin Yuan any combat boost.
But for traveling, it was basically a godlike skill.
With the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo, there was nowhere in the Real World Lin Yuan couldn't get to.
Very soon, Lin Yuan arrived at his little sister-in-law's dojo.
The mont he arrived, she sensed his presence and woke from her cultivation retreat.
"You..."
"You broke through to Tier Four?" When they t and Lin Yuan sensed her aura, he asked in surprise.
Back when they fought the Ghost Leader, she was only at Tier Five Peak.
In just a short while, and while still injured, she actually managed to break through.
This breakthrough speed could be said to be second only to Lin Yuan, the reborn one.
With Lin Yuan, his little sister-in-law never concealed anything.
As long as Lin Yuan wanted to know, she was completely transparent to him, willing to share all her secrets with Lin Yuan.
She smiled gently and softly said, "Strictly speaking, it's because the two worlds' fusion progressed another step."
"The Real World can now accommodate Tier Four powers, so I broke through!"
It's worth noting, every Rebirth Saint Mother of the past was on the sa level as the World Honored.
This much was obvious from the fight against the Ghost Leader.
Back then, the World Honored attacked her with a Buddha's Hand, and what blocked it was the first Rebirth Saint Mother's Companion Spiritual Treasure—the Vermilion Red Coffin.
This shows that even if the first Rebirth Saint Mother was slightly weaker than the World Honored, the gap wasn't substantial.
And every successor after the first Rebirth Saint Mother would definitely be at least a Tier Three, if not so Tier Twos.
Her being only Tier Five as the current Rebirth Saint Mother had always seed a bit weak.
Looking at it now, it wasn't that she couldn't break through, but that she'd lived in the Real World for too long and was suppressed by the Power of Rules, unable to advance.
Now that the degree of world fusion has deepened and the Real World can contain Tier Four power, she imdiately broke through to Tier Four.
At least for now, there would be no breakthrough pressure for her until Tier Three.
All of a sudden, Lin Yuan realized another problem.
If the two worlds fused even further?
His little sister-in-law had already broken through to Tier Four—didn't this an there could be Tier Four evil spirits from the Mysterious World arriving?
The construction of Giant Cities in Dragon Country was still in progress; the cities were far from completed.
Without the protection of the Giant Cities, the authorities simply didn't have the power to resist Tier Four evil spirits.
If large numbers of Tier Fours arrived, even if Lin Yuan stopped going to the Mysterious World to hunt spirits and only dealt with invaders in the Real World, there wouldn't be enough ti.
Based on previous experience, the arrivals were never one or two, but a batch at a ti.
At the mont, in the whole Dragon Country, only Lin Yuan could handle Tier Four evil spirits.
His little sister-in-law, at a stretch, could count too.
If a mass arrival of Tier Four evil spirits occurred before the Giant Cities were built, Lin Yuan and his little sister-in-law could only run around like firefighters, putting out fires everywhere.
With that thought, Lin Yuan shared his worries with her.
After hearing him out, she pondered for a mont, then said slowly, "The reason I could break through to Tier Four so quickly is that I'm originally human, so the world's rules don't suppress as much."
"I think if it were evil spirits, they'd still be sowhat suppressed by the world's rules. In my estimation, Tier Four evil spirits shouldn't be able to arrive in this world for a while yet."
With the experience of previous Rebirth Saint Mothers, Lin Yuan trusted her judgnt.
Hearing her prediction, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh in relief.
So, in the short term, there won't be a mass arrival of Tier Four evil spirits from the Mysterious World in this universe—Lin Yuan could relax, for now.
That way, for now, his plans wouldn't be disrupted.
As long as he took the initiative to go to the Mysterious World to hunt spirits, he could choose which ones to kill.
He could target evil spirits that suited his needs.
But if Tier Four evil spirits from the Mysterious World started showing up, then he'd be forced into firefighter mode.
Wherever Tier Fours landed, he'd have to go—inevitably ssing up his plans.
