Chapter 738 — The Innate Divine Tree Long Bridge

If one looked at it according to the broken bridge of the Jingping people, the canopy could exactly fill the void between the Heavenly Palace and the broken bridge, connecting to the broken bridge.

This would also save the need to cultivate the Magpie Bridge Art, the Mystic Guidance Art, and the Divine Crossing Art.

Presumably, when Xu Shenghua, the Woodcutter, Imperial Preceptor Jingping, Xing An, and the others had made their calculations, they had also fused these three arts of the Divine Bridge into the Jianmu Innate Divine Bridge.

But for the martial artists of the Dou Niu Realm, the Jianmu Divine Bridge only filled in one section of the Divine Bridge — only the middle section, with no head or tail.

If one's cultivation and strength were insufficient, one still could not send one's primordial spirit flying across to the Heavenly Palace.

He was a master of calculation, the founder of the Grand Subtlety Calculation Classic, with extremely high attainments, and immediately thought that by expanding the Jianmu canopy, one could artificially create a Divine Bridge divine treasury.

But this would require making even more divination deductions on the foundation of the Jianmu Innate Divine Bridge.

After Xu Shenghua finished his calculations, he used vital essence to construct a tiny sapling, flicked it with his finger, and sent it into Hu Bugui's divine treasury.

This tiny sapling took root in Hu Bugui's Lingtai Continent and began to sprout.

Shen Mu immediately saw that Xu Shenghua was using the Dao Heart Planting Demon Divine Ability of the Heavenly Sage Sect's Great Nurturing Dark Demon Classic — presumably taught to him by the Woodcutter.

He only needed to use the sapling as a seed to plant this art within Hu Bugui's body. Drawing on Hu Bugui's vital essence, the sapling would grow madly, growing into a towering Jianmu!

Xu Shenghua hesitated a moment, not immediately activating the sapling, and tested: "Brother Hu, are you afraid of death?"

Hu Bugui shook his head: "Not afraid!"

Xu Shenghua let out a breath of relief.

The old farmer said calmly: "Xu Shenghua, are you afraid of death?"

Xu Shenghua was slightly startled, not understanding his meaning.

Shen Mu's forehead broke out in cold sweat, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Xu, how confident are you of success this time?"

Xu Shenghua was full of confidence and held up three fingers: "Thirty percent!"

Shen Mu laughed in fury: "Brother Xu, you were not like this before! Before, you would only act when you had eighty or ninety percent certainty of victory! Thirty percent — who did you learn that from? You have fallen!"

"Learned from you."

Xu Shenghua activated his vital essence, and the tiny sapling within Hu Bugui's body immediately began to grow madly, madly drawing in and devouring Hu Bugui's vital essence and cultivation!

The sapling quickly grew to a hundred zhang, a thousand zhang, surpassing mountain after mountain of the Lingtai Six Directions Continent, towering into the clouds, and still growing!

This towering giant tree had already grown to the point of touching the sky. With a thunderous boom, it burst through the barriers of the Primordial Fetus Divine Treasury, the Five Luminaries Divine Treasury, and the Six Realms Divine Treasury!

Hu Bugui gave a muffled groan, the bones within his body crackling. His physical body endured an incomparably powerful pressure. His muscle strength was terrifying, but in that instant he suddenly became skin and bones!

His muscles had been crushed into a thin membrane pressed tightly against his bones!

This pressure did not come from above downward, nor from outside inward, but from every direction of the physical body — the most terrifying kind!

Hu Bugui's skull also creaked and cracked under the pressure, as if it might burst at any moment!

Everyone was frantic with anxiety. Xu Shenghua pondered for a moment and said to Jing Yan: "My lady, the Jianmu is growing too fast. It must be because Brother Hu's cultivation of magic power somewhat exceeds my estimates. His cultivation is truly vigorous and pure, not inferior to mine."

"Why does that sound familiar?" Shen Mu thought.

"The Jianmu has absorbed his vital essence and cultivation, so its growth will only accelerate. The next step will be to break through the Seven Stars barrier, and the pressure will be even greater."

Xu Shenghua was not at all as frantic as the others, still calm and unruffled: "The Seven Stars Divine Treasury will accelerate the Jianmu's growth. By the Heaven-Man Divine Treasury, the pressure will double, and then the Jianmu's roots will pierce through his continent and take root in Youdu within the Life-Death Divine Treasury. At that time, the pressure will be at its strongest... Brother Shen, I may have spoken too much just now. I now think there may be only a twenty percent chance."

"Sect Master, should we slip away?" Long Qilin whispered.

Shen Mu quietly shook his head. Suddenly behind him appeared the Heaven-Bearing Gate, ready to act and save Hu Bugui when he was crushed.

Seeing this, Xu Shenghua shook his head: "Sect Master, if it fails, he cannot be saved. His primordial spirit will also be crushed and his soul scattered; it will not fall into Youdu."

He remained very calm and composed.

Shen Mu's eye twitched. He said politely to the old farmer: "Martial Uncle, this junior once gathered the soul of Lady Tianyin. Even when Lady Tianyin's soul was scattered, this junior saved her. Martial Uncle, rest assured, rest assured, put your fist away..."
