Chapter 449: Chapter 218: Destroying the Mother Tree (Part 2)
The Plane Store is a truly bizarre existence; as long as it’s something that can be sold and bought, you can find it here. At least when Su Jiameng was browsing the Plane Store, she saw a lot of shameless stuff. For example, underwear used by Li Bai, old clothes worn by Du Fu, and even the seminal fluid of a Divine Monarch from a Cultivation Plane! Did they think the Plane Store was a sperm bank?
Given all the above, Su Jiameng thought adding an item named "Mother Tree Main Rod" shouldn’t be too much.
Of course, given the Mother Tree’s immense power, she didn’t want some little brat to buy this and wreak havoc on another plane, so she had to cut off all its life force before tossing it into the Plane Store to await appraisal and sale.
This resulted in a young girl, known as a shrewd merchant on a certain plane many years later, harboring deep resentment towards the dead Mother Tree.
The Mother Tree losing its main rod is like a person losing their heart! A person can’t survive without a heart, and while the Mother Tree can still live without its main rod, its fighting power plummets. If it doesn’t get enough energy replenishment soon, it’ll eventually gasp for breath and die!
The Mother Tree realized this, and besides resenting the one who wreaked havoc within it and took its main rod, it became even more eager for the Nascent Stone that was absorbing energy faster and faster! However, it vaguely realized that taking the Nascent Stone now wouldn’t save it, and it could only wait a bit longer!
Though the Mother Tree is intelligent, it’s still somewhat naive, and there’s no point in expecting too much of its intelligence; passing the adequacy line is already a blessing. During the wait, the appraisal of the main rod ended.
The stingy Plane Store appraised its value just shy of the 800,000 mark! Upon seeing this number, Su Jiameng’s first thought was to lash this Mother Tree for its greed, wondering how much life it killed and how much energy it absorbed! Her second thought was to shamelessly yell that she struck it rich...just this one deal equaled several years’ worth of her previous efforts!
There was a local saying from Su Jiameng’s hometown in her first lifetime: spending a thief’s money doesn’t hurt! Naturally, spending the money from selling the Mother Tree Main Rod didn’t hurt her either; instead, she felt a vague excitement!
Though she had space slots nearby, and the same items could be stacked, the number of slots is ultimately limited. Back when she first had the idea to use a Qiankun Bag from the Cultivation Plane, alas, it was as expensive as the Nascent Stone. Since she didn’t need it much, she didn’t buy it due to her tight budget.
Now, having come into an unexpected windfall, she naturally didn’t need to worry about her budget. Unfortunately, now wasn’t the right time for a shopping spree. Thinking of this, Su Jiameng tightened her grip on Xihe, infusing it with telekinesis! For a Mind Power User, weapons aren’t necessary. Since telekinesis, when used flexibly, can concentrate onto the form of a blade, killing invisibly!
However, Su Jiameng has some eccentric quirks; she didn’t like holding a blade formed by telekinesis, as it made her uncomfortable. But infusing telekinesis into a weapon also enhances its destructive power, so others just ignored her peculiarities.
What would it look like when a Level Nine telepath who has restored their telekinesis to Level Eight truly erupts? Even though Gu Ningzhi was still unfamiliar with the concept of telekinesis, seeing the massive monster before him, almost covering the sky and wailing in agony, unable to help but stabbing its branches into itself, he felt chills down his spine and broke into cold sweat...the only word imaginable, perhaps, is—terrifying!
Those sub-trees kept wriggling towards the Mother Tree, but the increased power couldn’t help it fend off the agonizing pain from within its body. The newly sprouted telekinesis was instantly destroyed by an internal force, overwhelming and unstoppable!
"The spiritual field is still increasing...off the charts..." The Expedition Army’s warship was also affected by this surge of spiritual power; the backup equipment they had just set up was half-destroyed again. Several researchers analyzing this unusual spiritual power widened their eyes, looking somewhat ridiculous.
No one was laughing at them, as there was no time for leisure. This mental power measuring device was the most sophisticated, advanced, and accurate device in the entire universe, even 3S mental power couldn’t escape its scrutiny.
But after this unfamiliar spiritual power entered the detection range, the measuring needle started spinning without hesitation, crossing each standard line one by one; when it encountered those labeled "S," "2S," and "3S," the needle showed no sign of stopping...this implied two possibilities. Either the instrument was broken, or...this spiritual power had already surpassed the 3S limit!
