Li Yun was somewhat incredulous. The God Tree was actually asking him for help?

Didn't this mean that the God Tree's sentience, or rather, its Divine Soul, was actually still present? It wasn't dormant; it was just trapped by some mysterious power?

This was truly terrifying.

What kind of existence was the God Tree?

It was definitely an existence that directly connected to the Origin of the Heavenly Ancient Continent's world. In a sense, its Divine Soul could even be said to be a part of the Heavenly Ancient Continent's world.

What kind of existence could possibly trap the God Tree's Divine Soul?

Facing such power, what could he possibly use to suppress it?

Use his head?

Li Yun felt like the God Tree might be grasping at straws out of desperation.

However, could he truly remain indifferent?

Absolutely not.

No matter what, he was now a part of the Heavenly Ancient Continent, existing precisely because the Heavenly Ancient Continent existed.

If the skin is gone, where can the fur attach?

If the Heavenly Ancient Continent were to have problems now, to be destroyed, then no matter how awesome the System he relied on was, it wouldn't be able to preserve his life.

Everyone understood the reasoning.

But the problem was, with his current strength, how could he possibly participate in such a high-level situation?

His original intention for coming from Mystic Moon Kingdom to Sky-Splitting Dynasty was merely to temporarily avoid the sharp edge of Ye Huang and his group, and incidentally, to broaden his horizons in Sky-Splitting Dynasty, seeking more opportunities to enhance his strength, and nothing more.

He hadn't expected at all that as soon as he arrived, he would encounter such a major high-level situation.

Directly getting involved in a major event like needing to find a way to save a heaven and earth spiritual root.

This is seriously... good grief!

Saving a heaven and earth spiritual root, even if a strong individual above the Dao Seed Realm, more powerful than Ding Bosheng, were to come, they would probably be bewildered too.

Facing the God Tree, which had once again become still.

Li Yun's head was spinning.

Yet, he had no choice but to seriously ponder the situation.

If there truly was a mysterious power trapping the God Tree's Divine Soul, then with his current strength, whether it was martial arts, secret techniques, or even Divine Power, none would be of any help.

If he were truly to attempt something.

Perhaps only the most mysterious Gate of Myriad Wonders would have a chance.

After all.

The God Tree's situation was somewhat similar to the situations he had encountered before.

Whether it was cultivating the Immovable Wisdom King Sutra or the Wuwei Sutra, both would, without him realizing it, form a mysterious and powerful force that forcibly controlled his spirit.

Moreover, it was very strange and intangible.

If he hadn't coincidentally cultivated and advanced in both, with the Immovable Wisdom King Sutra cultivated first and the Wuwei Sutra advanced later... resulting in a struggle for control between the two forces using his mental world as a battlefield, he wouldn't have been able to discover it.

Just imagine.

If he had only cultivated one of them, as his Realm improved, that mysterious power would surely have completely controlled his spirit without him realizing it, until he lost himself.

He wasn't dead, yet he couldn't control his own spirit.

Wasn't this exactly the same as the God Tree's current situation?

However, the Gate of Myriad Wonders, born from the Tao Te Ching, miraculously helped him resolve this hidden danger. The alien power triggered by either the Wuwei Sutra or the Immovable Wisdom King Sutra could not exist in his mental world; they all had to become food for the Gate of Myriad Wonders.

This precisely demonstrated the Gate of Myriad Wonders' power in this regard.

Thinking of this.

Li Yun no longer hesitated.

He decided to just go for it.

Regardless, whether it succeeded or not, he had to try first.

The next second—

Li Yun straightened his body, faced the God Tree, and began attempting to communicate with the Gate of Myriad Wonders.

"Eh..."

This actually made Li Yun feel a hint of pleasant surprise.

In fact.

When the Gate of Myriad Wonders first formed, Li Yun was actually unable to control it; he could only let it passively exist in his mind.

But after making the attempt just now.

He discovered that the Gate of Myriad Wonders actually moved slightly under the drive of his spiritual power, as if it were truly being driven by his spirit.

However, that feeling...

How should he put it?

One word: heavy!~

Incredibly, incredibly, incredibly heavy!

The Gate of Myriad Wonders, which clearly seemed somewhat illusory and not particularly real, actually gave him a feeling as though it was connected to the entire heaven and earth, while he was like an ant trying to shake a great mountain.

It was so heavy it almost crushed his spirit.

His spiritual core, which had already expanded several times compared to before, actually trembled non-stop because of this attempt to drive it, and faintly, a hint of fine cracks appeared.

It made Li Yun couldn't help but have an ominous premonition.

The Gate of Myriad Wonders was not something he could lift at his current state. If he tried to lift it forcefully, it would be like a three-year-old trying to lift a giant rock, and accidentally getting crushed to death by the rock instead.

Li Yun was horrified inwardly.

He could only quickly relax his spirit and repeatedly cultivation the Immovable Wisdom King Sutra a few times, which finally repaired the cracks that had just appeared in the spiritual core in his mind.

Now, Li Yun didn't dare to try again.

He knew this was because his own spiritual Realm was still insufficient; the Peak of core formation was far from enough to support him in lifting the Gate of Myriad Wonders.

This was troublesome.

The only thing that could potentially help the God Tree was the Gate of Myriad Wonders, but he couldn't drive it because his spiritual Realm was too low. This feeling was indescribable.

What should he do?

Li Yun fell into contemplation once again.

His expression was also one of bewilderment.

But he suddenly thought, since he couldn't directly drive the Gate of Myriad Wonders, could he perhaps not drive it, but merely induce a wisp of its power to impact the God Tree?

What he sought was not to drive the Gate of Myriad Wonders, but to let it unleash its might.

As long as he could make the Gate of Myriad Wonders unleash its might, that would be enough.

However, on the other hand, not driving the Gate of Myriad Wonders, but actively drawing out its power... he didn't know how to do that either.

Regarding this Gate of Myriad Wonders, he was truly completely clueless.

After much thought.

Li Yun could only think of the most foolish method.

"Damn it... I'll risk it!"

"If this doesn't work, I can only contact Brother Ding to give it a try. He also cultivated the Gate of Myriad Wonders, and can even actively control it... perhaps there's a chance."

Li Yun took a deep breath.

He suddenly strode forward.

This time, he directly crossed the last ten meters between himself and the God Tree, directly extended both hands, and simultaneously placed them on the God Tree's trunk.

Directly contacting the God Tree was the most foolish, most foolish method.

The slightest carelessness could lead to him being killed by the mysterious power, but he wanted to take a gamble, betting that the Gate of Myriad Wonders could still protect him at the critical moment.

As expected—

Just as Li Yun's hands simultaneously touched the trunk, a mysterious power erupted, actually sucking his hands tightly onto it.

At the same time.

A chilling power, like a surging tide, erupted from within the God Tree, surged through his hands, and rushed towards his mind.

At that instant.

Li Yun even vaguely saw a black, monstrous wave directly appearing in his mind, crushing towards his spiritual core. The terrifying demonic intent immediately caused cracks to appear in his spiritual core.

A sharp pain immediately spread through him.
