The location chosen by Luo Fan was a rare ancient forest in the primordial land.
This forest covers an area of about a thousand miles and is not very wide. But among them, ancient trees hundreds of feet tall are everywhere. Looking up, they are all huge ancient trees that even two people can't hold tightly, towering into the sky.
Among these towering ancient trees, although none can match the strange trees with spiritual consciousness, there are quite a few that are slightly shorter. However, among these towering ancient trees, no matter how huge they are, no matter how close their size or height is to that strange tree with spiritual consciousness, not a single ancient tree possesses spiritual consciousness!
Not even the slightest seed of spiritual consciousness...
When Luo Fan had sensed this location through the Void Wuji Palace before, he already knew the reason behind it. Now, looking at this place again, he was not surprised.
The formation of this forest was completely different from the strange tree with spiritual consciousness that Luo Fan had encountered before. That strange tree was born because at the beginning of the creation of the universe, the primordial energy of the chaos underwent some mysterious and enigmatic changes, giving rise to a tree species. Through continuous absorption of the primordial energy of the chaos, this tree species eventually grew to its current state.
This forest, however, is different. This entire ancient forest is formed by the combination of the essence of wood and the primordial energy!
That mass of the essence of Jia Mu emanated to the surface through countless tiny channels a hundred miles deep underground. During this process, the essence of the wood in each passage underwent some mysterious transformation, absorbing a vast amount of innate primordial energy and transforming it into ancient trees and clusters of flowers and plants. Only then did this ancient forest come into being!
The vegetation on the primordial land, whether it be flowers, grass or trees, no matter how precious they are, is mostly formed by the combination of various essences of wood (such as the essence of Wood A, the essence of Wood B, etc.) with the essence of other five elements, and then transformed through the absorption of innate vital energy.
For instance, some plants are formed by the combination of the essence of wood and earth (such as the essence of Wu earth, Ji earth, etc.), while others are formed by the combination of the essence of wood and fire (such as the essence of Bing fire, Ding fire, etc.). Similarly, there are various combinations of wood and metal, wood and water, wood, earth and water, metal, wood, water, fire and earth, and so on. And so on...
The combination of all these different types, quantities and proportions of the Five Elements essence has formed the first batch of hundreds of millions of plants in this primordial world, which are strange and diverse, with different effects and powers.
After the first plants in this world were formed, they continuously multiplied and expanded over tens of thousands of years, eventually giving rise to the vibrant primordial world we have today.
All these plants look no different from those that arise from the primordial energy of chaos on the outside, but they have a huge weakness.
That is to say, for such plants formed by the combination of the essence of the Five elements to generate spiritual consciousness, the difficulty is tens of millions of times higher than that of plants that generate their own primordial energy from chaos! It can be said that they are neither by chance, nor by great luck, nor by great fortune, and it is absolutely impossible for them to generate spiritual consciousness.
The ancient forest before Luo Fan's eyes was transformed from the pure essence of Jia wood absorbing the innate primordial energy, and naturally it also belonged to this kind of plant formed by the essence of the Five elements.
Therefore, there is such a situation in the forest where there are so many ancient trees that have the conditions to generate spiritual consciousness, but not a single ancient tree can generate spiritual consciousness.
The reason why Luo Fan chose to come here was not for this forest. But it is for that mass of the essence of the armored wood a hundred miles beneath this forest.
This mass of the essence of the wood is extremely large. It has been over a hundred thousand years since the beginning of the world, but it still has not transformed into this forest. There are still most of the essence of the wood and a hundred miles deep underground remaining.
The amount of its remaining quantity is rather rare.
Luo Fan's mind stirred and his body shot down straight. Just as he was about to touch the ground, a mental formula flowed through his mind. As the formula passed by, his body slightly changed, like a shadow rushing into the ground. Throughout the entire process, the ground did not obstruct him in the slightest!
This kind of supernatural power is precisely a minor supernatural power that Luo Fan has cultivated over more than three thousand years - the Earth Escape.
Walking underground with the Earth Escape Divine Skill gives the feeling of wandering in water, which is extremely mysterious and comfortable. Although the speed will slow down a little, it is still extremely fast.
Before long, Luo Fan's figure had already reached a hundred miles underground.
The essence of the wood armor suddenly appeared before me.
This is a spherical space with a diameter of one hundred and fifty zhang.
A greenish-blue sphere was suspended in the center of this spherical space, with a diameter of about 120 zhang. It was shrouded in green mist, just like a sea urchin, with wisps of green mist emanating from it and filling countless tiny passages around.
With a moment's thought, two golden rays of light shot out from Luo Fan's eyes, shining upon the emerald green sphere. In an instant, the entire structure of the sphere appeared before Luo Fan's eyes.
This green ball is entirely composed of pure wood essence. In the center, the wood essence with a diameter of a hundred zhang has completely condensed into a solid crystalline form, while the wood essence with a thickness of twenty zhang outside is between gaseous and liquid states, resembling smoke.
By comparing the celestial beings in this spherical space, Luo Fan knew that the essence of Jia Mu should have been as large as 150 zhang in diameter originally, and it should all have been solid crystals.
It is obvious that after more than a hundred thousand years of evaporation, nearly one-third of the essence of the Jia wood has transformed into the ancient forest above.
Understanding all this, Luo Fan didn't secretly feel sorry.
Having withdrawn his penetrating power, he raised his right hand and pointed at the essence of the wood armor.
The Earth Immortal Dao Fruit in the lower abdomen's dantian suddenly burst out as a unit of magical power, flowing along the meridians and charging straight out from his right hand, flying towards the essence of Jia Mu. It grew at the sound of the wind and flew larger and larger.
By the time it approached the essence of Jia Mu, this dust-like magical power unit had transformed into a ten-zhang tall three-dimensional talisman seal shaped like the Buzhou Mountain!
This three-dimensional talisman came to the edge of the Essence of Wood and Armor, suddenly turned, and aligned its bottom with the essence of Wood and armor. At the same time, a powerful attraction was generated.
That huge wood essence of armor seemed to be compressed and pulled by an invisible giant hand, moving rapidly towards the three-dimensional talisman, and kept shrinking in the process of moving.
By the time it came into contact with the three-dimensional talisman, its size had shrunk to the size of a basketball. It was no longer capable of resisting the super-strong appeal of the three-dimensional talisman and floated lightly into it.
After the three-dimensional talisman had absorbed the essence of the wood and armor, it suddenly shrank rapidly with a whoosh. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a speck of dust and charged straight into Luo Fan's body.
This is precisely a storage method that Luo Fan has been studying for a long time. This is the first experiment, and the result is obviously very satisfactory.
Turning his head and looking around, there was nothing particularly notable in this area of a hundred and fifty feet. Luo Fan once again used the Earth Escape technique and climbed up. In no time, he had already returned to the ground.
Suspended in the air, looking down, the ancient forest below had already undergone slight changes.
Originally, this forest was brimming with vitality, but now it has become listless, as if it has entered old age and is heading towards death.
"Sorry..." Luo Fan sighed inwardly.
He knew that it was his side that had cut off the chance for this forest to generate spiritual consciousness.
Originally, if this wood spirit of Jia existed, the difficulty for the ancient trees in this forest to generate spiritual consciousness would be so high as to be almost impossible, but there would still be a tiny chance. Now, without the nourishment of the essence of wood, this tiny chance has been completely cut off.
Although he sighed inwardly, he did not hesitate. With a turn of his body, he transformed into a long rainbow and shot towards the northwest.
In an instant, he returned to the place where the Void Wuji Palace was hidden. With a sudden movement of his mind, he had already entered the Void Wuji Palace that was hidden in the air.
After settling down on the platform, he raised his hand and waved it. The magic unit that had contained the essence of the armor Wood burst out of his body. With a spin, it released the essence of the armor Wood and suspended it in front of him.
This piece of wood essence should be able to withstand thirty-six levels of prohibitions. If he were to refine the Yellow Turban Strongmen, he would surely be able to refine the highest-level Yellow Turban Strongmen... If some more tricks are placed on it, it will be enough to serve as the treasure for Hong Jun to pass through the tribulation. Luo Fan pondered to himself.
