Chapter 407 Something's Wrong with Fan Xiaode
"And the Soul Nourishing Tree I have in my hand now is not even a true Soul Nourishing Tree, but rather a branch of a Soul Nourishing Tree."
"But it was just this branch that supported the passage from the Netherworld to the Underworld of Naihe City."
"Without the power of this branch of the Soul-Nourishing Tree, the passage from Naihe City to the Underworld would remain closed for even a day."
After hearing this, Su Yang nodded to indicate that she understood.
Xia Yu stretched out a hand, and a section of tree branch, transparent like a water droplet, appeared in her hand.
"This is the branch that supports the passage between Naihe City and the Underworld."
Su Yang looked at the Soul-Nourishing Tree in Xia Yu's hand, her interest growing stronger.
Fan Xiaode also looked curiously at the piece of Soul-Nourishing Tree in Xia Yu's hand.
"Legend has it that each of the Ten Kings of Hell in the Underworld possesses a Soul-Nourishing Tree. These trees ultimately determine the normal operation of the Underworld's reincarnation system, and most souls in the world leave traces on those ten trees..."
"I just don't know if it's true... If it is, if I get the biggest Soul-Nourishing Tree, wouldn't it be possible to resurrect my deceased relatives and friends?"
Hearing Fan Xiaode's unrealistic fantasies, Xia Yu said calmly:
"The Soul-Nourishing Tree has countless connections with the Underworld. Not to mention that if one were to obtain a Soul-Nourishing Tree by chance, and the Underworld found out, one would be relentlessly hunted down by the creatures of the Underworld."
"Moreover, the Ten Kings of Hell in the Underworld are not to be trifled with; each of them possesses cultivation and strength far beyond our imagination."
Fan Xiaode chuckled sheepishly, scratching his head. "I was just thinking about it. Of course I know... I know these fantasies are unrealistic..."
Su Yang looked at the Soul-Nourishing Tree in Xia Yu's hand, stroked her chin, and a thought flashed in her eyes.
The Soul-Nourishing Tree can only grow and survive in the Underworld; once it leaves the Underworld, it will gradually decay and die.
I just don't know if the Soul-Nourishing Tree can survive in her planting space...
But the Soul-Nourishing Tree was ultimately obtained by Xia Yu and the others, and Su Yang had no right to decide whether to keep or discard it. Moreover, her spatial ability could not be known to Xia Yu and the others.
Otherwise, Su Yang might actually give it a try!
In the end, Xia Yu and Wan Fa decided to return the Soul-Nourishing Tree to the Underworld.
One reason is that the two of them simply couldn't wait to return to the Canglan Realm.
After all, if they wait until the next full moon to have the Azure Wolf draw upon the moonlight again to find the way back to the Azure Realm, it will be almost a year.
Their trip to the Underworld was intended to prompt the Underworld to devise a quick way to return to the Canglan Realm.
Secondly, the Soul-Nourishing Tree is something extremely important to the Underworld, and Xia Yu and the others really didn't have Su Yang's guts to keep it for themselves.
The Underworld represents the official power of the Underworld on Star Luo Island.
The Underworld is a realm comparable to the Immortal Realm, and Xia Yu and Wan Fa dared not easily offend it.
Afterwards, Xia Yu and Wan Fa went to the Underworld to return the Soul-Nourishing Tree, while Su Yang and Fan Xiaode returned to their original inn to rest for a while, and would make plans after Xia Yu and the others returned.
After Su Yang and Cha Luo returned to the original inn, the bodies of Bai Yanling and Cha Luo downstairs had already been cleaned up, leaving no trace of blood on the ground.
After returning to the inn, Su Yang finally noticed that Fan Xiaode had been absent-minded the whole way.
She glanced at Fan Xiaode, whose eyes were lifeless, and raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong? Why are you so distracted the whole way?"
"Are you perhaps wondering when I'll let you go?"
Su Yang stroked the Canglang and Xiaowu in her arms and smiled slightly.
Then, Su Yang waved her hand and quickly took several steps back.
Fan Xiaode felt his stomach churning violently.
"vomit!"
Fan Xiaode suddenly spat out a mouthful of thick, black, disgusting liquid.
Within the black liquid, there were several wriggling Gu worms.
It took Fan Xiaode quite a while to gradually recover.
"Thank you, fairy..."
Su Yang saw that she had already removed the Gu worms from Fan Xiaode's body, but he still looked listless.
"Could it be that you've been poisoned too?"
"Or are you still thinking about the Star Stone I owe you?"
After thinking about it, Su Yang realized that these were the only possibilities.
She then took out the Starry Bag that she had taken from Chaluo and handed it to Fan Xiaode.
"This star bag is yours."
Fan Xiaode looked at the Star Bag flying towards him and instinctively caught it.
After he saw what it was, he immediately felt embarrassed.
“Fairy, how can this be? The contents of this Star Bag are far more valuable than the Star Stones I spent on you before.”
Fan Xiaode declined and returned the Star Bag to Su Yang.
Su Yang chuckled lightly, "Take it if I give it to you. You're one of my people now, and I never mistreat my subordinates."
"When I first arrived at Xingluo Island, if it weren't for you coming to my rescue, I might not be able to enter Naihe City now."
With tears welling in his eyes, Fan Xiaode cried out, "Fairy..."
Seeing Fan Xiaode's trembling shoulders, Su Yang quickly told him to stop.
"Stop! Tell me, you're not distracted because of these things, are you... What is it that's causing your distraction?"
Fan Xiaode glanced at the gray wolf in Su Yang's arms and quickly looked away, "No...it's nothing..."
However, Su Yang noticed Fan Xiaode's subtle actions and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"You want to go back to your original desolate realm?"
Upon hearing Su Yang's words, Fan Xiaode's body trembled. He took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
"I'm curious, why do you want to return to the previous Bleak Realm?"
"After all, you said before that before you came to Star Luo Island, the Dry and Mist Realm was already in the Dharma-ending Age. Perhaps after these years of evolution, there is no spiritual energy left."
"If you stay on Star Luo Island, you might be able to go even further."
"Moreover, you can come back to my realm with me."
"We mortals cannot travel between the celestial realm and the underworld through the passage between the underworld and the celestial realm, but we should be able to travel to other realms, right?"
Fan Xiaode stared blankly, "Theoretically... that's possible..."
However, Fan Xiaode did not immediately agree to Su Yang's request; instead, he clenched his fist.
"Fairy... Fairy... Thank you for your kindness, but I still won't go back to your world with you."
"I still want to return to the Bleak Realm, and I will find a way to return to the Bleak Realm later."
Su Yang tilted her head; she didn't quite understand Fan Xiaode.
"why?"
Even if the Canglan Realm is in decline, it is still better than the Kumiao Realm, a realm whose existence is uncertain.
Moreover, Su Yang was confident that the Canglan Realm would eventually overcome this crisis.
For Fan Xiaode, returning to the Canglan Realm with them was the best choice.
After all, who knows if he'll ever be able to return to the Bleak Realm?
