"Wuwuwu..."
The moment Bai Zihe held the Myriad Year Willow Heart in his hand.
The dark and strange energy on it immediately surged into Bai Zihe's body, like invisible mosquitoes.
At the same time.
A strong wind raged outside, directly churning up a dark and strange tornado, which continuously rampaged and spun around Bai Zihe.
Finally...
This tornado grew larger and larger, its momentum stronger and stronger, with the power to destroy the heavens and the earth!
In this continuous spinning process.
The dark and strange energy that had previously permeated the surroundings all converged into it at this moment.
Then...
It attacked Bai Zihe.
It was a pincer attack, attempting to invade Bai Zihe with the dark and strange energy.
"Heh..."
In an instant, Bai Zihe let out a cold snort, and his entire body was enveloped in a layer of earthy yellow film, which was none other than the protection of Houtu!
"Chichichichi..."
The next moment, the dark and strange energy collided with it.
Like moths flying into a flame, it vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye, completely annihilated.
As for the tornado that attacked...
Bai Zihe remained as steady as Mount Tai, with no possibility of being swept away or invaded.
"Shua..."
Seeing that he was unharmed, a cold glint flashed in Bai Zihe's eyes, and he began to counterattack.
With a wave of his Xuanyuan Sword, a powerful sword energy shot out from his body, slashing at the continuously spinning tornado.
"Hualala..."
The tornado was struck by this mighty sword energy, shrinking considerably. However, it did not dissipate. Instead, it swept away into the distance.
As if...
It also realized that Bai Zihe was not to be trifled with.
However.
A cold glint flashed in Bai Zihe's eyes, and he immediately pursued it.
His mission this time was to kill all the dark and strange energies and eliminate all the strange energies in Miao territory!
At this moment, he naturally would not stand idly by and let the dark and strange energy escape!
"Shua..."
As Bai Zihe pursued, he unleashed powerful sword energies, constantly annihilating the origin of the dark and strange tornado.
Visibly.
The dark and strange tornado grew smaller and smaller, and its color became dimmer and dimmer.
Bai Zihe estimated.
With three to five more sword strikes, he should be able to deal with it easily.
But just then.
The dark tornado suddenly plunged into the lake, causing the lake surface to boil violently, and then it disappeared instantly.
"En?"
Bai Zihe frowned slightly.
He quickly thought of something.
Perhaps...
The reason for the dense dark energy here was related to this lake—after all, it was too suspicious!
"Plop..."
The next moment, Bai Zihe also jumped into the lake.
Upon entering, the lake water was bone-chillingly cold, even making Bai Zihe feel an urge to sneeze and escape as quickly as possible.
Bai Zihe was instantly startled.
One had to know...
He had already comprehended the Weak Water and awakened the physique of the Water Saint Body!
To still feel cold in this lake water meant that the power contained within this lake water was absolutely terrifying.
"Weng..."
Bai Zihe released his spiritual sense to probe.
His spiritual sense encountered much greater resistance in the water than on land.
However.
Bai Zihe still discovered a significant problem, and at this moment, his expression changed drastically, and his mind trembled!
This entire lake...
Was filled with dark and strange energy!
It was too terrifying.
The area of this lake was estimated to be comparable to a small town.
And with such a vast body of water being infected by dark and strange energy, how immense must its original dark and strange energy be!
Something was wrong, very wrong!
"Shua..."
The next moment, Bai Zihe used his true essence imbued with the power of Weak Water to continuously alter and purify this lake water.
To call it purification.
In reality, it was about destroying the dark and strange energy within it.
But.
Bai Zihe soon discovered.
The efficiency of this method was extremely low, almost as slow as a snail.
This troubled Bai Zihe.
He had discovered such a large area of dark and strange energy but could not destroy it!
If he ignored it...
If the lake was connected to underwater currents, it would inevitably spread everywhere, causing a massive proliferation of dark and strange energy.
Then, it would truly be troublesome.
"Little Tower..."
Helpless, Bai Zihe thought of the omnipotent Little Tower: "Do you have any way to resolve all this dark and strange energy?"
"I do, but you can't. Your strength is insufficient."
Little Tower's words almost made Bai Zihe spit out a mouthful of blood. This guy's mouth was still so venomous!
"However..."
"If you can awaken the Wood Saint Body, your strength will surely increase greatly, then break through to the late stage of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, and then cultivate in the Hao Tian Tower with the strength of the late stage of the Tribulation Crossing Realm..."
"Within a month, you will surely reach the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Crossing Realm."
"Then, undergo tribulation!"
"As long as you can successfully cross the tribulation, you will have an immortal body, and I can teach you some immortal arts."
"Using immortal arts to deal with this will be much easier."
Bai Zihe was speechless.
Three Saint Bodies again, another month, another tribulation, ascending to immortality...
How long would this take!
So, Bai Zihe flipped his hand, and a jade slip appeared: "Eighth Senior Sister, I've discovered a place in the southern barbarian forest within the heart of Miao territory..."
Unable to handle it, Bai Zihe chose to inform Ji Xian Yuan of this news.
As she was on the front line of fighting dark and strange energy, and a veteran of many battles, she should have rich experience and be able to resolve it.
"Eye of Dark Strangeness!"
After hearing Bai Zihe's words, Ji Xian Yuan exclaimed.
"What is the Eye of Dark Strangeness?" Bai Zihe asked, confused.
"This..."
Ji Xian Yuan on the other end fell silent.
After a few seconds, she continued, "Junior Brother, let me put it this way: the Eye of Dark Strangeness is a source of dark strangeness."
"If you can block the source..."
"The dark strangeness in the world will have one less origin, and the pressure can be greatly reduced."
It was a source!
No wonder it was like this. Kuai Shu Ge
Bai Zihe suddenly understood.
He had been wondering how something like this could be unsolvable even by Weak Water. It turned out it wasn't that it couldn't be solved, but because this was the source.
When a little was resolved, more would emerge from within.
If the rate of resolution greatly exceeded the rate of generation from the source, there would be no problem, and it would not take long to clear everything.
But if the rate of resolution was similar to the rate of generation from the source, then his efforts would be in vain, and he would not be able to resolve it completely.
"Then how can this source be blocked?"
Bai Zihe asked curiously.
"The Eye of Dark Strangeness, as long as you can find the location of that source, the remaining problems will not be so difficult."
"First, you can use great divine power techniques to completely destroy the source."
"Second, use powerful magical artifacts, such as immortal artifacts or divine artifacts, as the eyes of the formation to seal the Eye of Dark Strangeness, which would be less troublesome."
"Third, the Eye of Dark Strangeness fears chaotic energy. If suppressed by chaotic energy, it can also be easily resolved."
So that's how it is.
Bai Zihe understood.
Of these three methods, he could only achieve the first one!
Half an hour later, Bai Zihe found the location of the formation eye.
