Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 2075 - 2077: Three Requests

The Nascent Soul Tree Demon’s level of Divine Sense is actually quite high. It meticulously probed downward, employing extremely subtle force.

However, Yi Jue True Immortal’s Divine Sense is equally strong, above average. Coupled with the fact that this impromptu Divine Sense detection is proactive, much like active sonar scanning, as long as there isn’t a significant technological gap, it’s hard not to be discovered.

Yi Jue True Immortal can endure it once, but she wouldn’t tolerate it a second time—in fact, she didn’t want to endure it the first time, but hadn’t had a chance to react before the other party attempted a second probe.

Seeing her displeased tone, the Nascent Soul Tree Demon also became unhappy, "You can probe me... oh, here it goes again?"

It dodged once more, knowing three times was the limit, then continued using its Divine Sense, "You can probe, and I can’t? To think I thought you were a decent young girl!"

Yi Jue True Immortal, being on the path of Spirit Plants, has a strong affinity with plants, so she holds no prejudice against tree demons—just like people, trees can be good or bad.

She doesn’t believe this tree demon is irredeemably bad, especially since the other party has good feelings towards her, equating to a kind of acknowledgment.

If it were any other day, she’d be too lazy to say much to an opponent, but today, she still said, "For the sake of your stupidity, I’ll tell you this: when you speak, you need evidence!"

"Wasn’t it you?" The Nascent Soul Tree Demon intensified its Divine Sense, continuing to probe around, "I don’t believe it, humans are all cunning!"

"Whether it was me or not, this is your final warning," Yi Jue True Immortal’s face darkened, "If you use Divine Sense to probe around me again, do you believe I’ll destroy this avatar’s mind?"

She could refrain from acting on Feng Jun’s behalf or even forgive the tree demon’s offense to a certain extent—this is just how she operates, but with her presence here, the other party still using Divine Sense to investigate is something she absolutely cannot tolerate.

The Nascent Soul Tree Demon also knew of this woman’s legend, and since the feeling of being locked in wouldn’t appear again in the short term, it withdrew its Divine Sense.

In truth, Yi Jue True Immortal was quite curious herself; she very much wanted to know how Feng Jun accomplished this.

Previously, she had been sensing changes in the interlayer space. Although she couldn’t pinpoint the tree demon, its movement caused slight spatial fluctuations. Through these occasional weak fluctuations, she could imagine it was definitely being tormented heavily by Feng Jun.

This torment seemed both regular and irregular. If it were a human cultivator, they’d probably be driven crazy after a few rounds, but a refined plant would have more patience.

Yi Jue True Immortal, as a spectator, nearly wanted to laugh. It was her idea to implement this torment, and since she understood the tree demon’s nature, she watched with great amusement.

The only regret was: she really didn’t know what method Feng Jun used to locate the target.

When the tree demon blamed her, she found it amusing, but couldn’t help feeling secretly shocked: how did he do it? It’s one thing for an outsider not to be clear, but even those involved couldn’t accurately determine where the probe came from.

A higher level of Divine Sense could cause such a situation, but that would require at least one major realm higher, and Yi Jue True Immortal did not believe there was an Emergence Stage Divine Sense surrounding Feng Jun.

If it were someone else, Yi Jue True Immortal might have guessed that this guy carried an old master with him, but in Feng Jun’s case... she wouldn’t think so because Feng Jun had too many mysterious traits, not just the "old master" option.

She really wanted to look inside Feng Jun’s Shielding Formation to see how it operated, but finally, she refrained herself. Keeping one’s word is important, and besides, she wouldn’t go out of her way to remind him of certain things.

All she could do was silently wish: I hope your patience exceeds the tree demon’s; don’t let it withstand the pressure while you don’t.

In fact, she overthought. The big boss knew more about refined plants than she did. In the following five days, it probed from time to time, never exceeding three times, and deliberately extended the intervals.

Logically, this situation should be the most torturous. Knowing someone is observing you in secret without a trace tends to provoke one of two reactions—going ballistic or quietly retreating.

The tree demon at Nascent Soul High Stage couldn’t realistically disappear quietly, and it wasn’t likely to go ballistic, so it had to continue waiting patiently.

Yet this tree demon stirred up another trouble, somewhat wanting to leave, because the probing frequency was slowing down, and it vaguely sensed great danger hidden within.

The tree demon’s mind isn’t sharp, but its danger premonition is strong, and it’s actually quite timid, even among tree demons. For this reason, it came with a menacing aura.

First, it truly looked down upon the Kunhao Plane, feeling it had the right to act recklessly. Second, if there were experts on the White Pebble Beach, upon seeing its firepower, they might hesitate, making its task easier.

Facing danger now, it really wanted to leave, but it had boasted before coming, and after arriving, it was quite high-profile. To retreat without a fight while the opponent was only at Golden Core First Layer—how could it possibly continue in the future?

After much thought, it greeted Yi Jue True Immortal with its Divine Sense, "Fellow Yi Jue, I have something to discuss with you."

Yi Jue True Immortal, aware of this fellow’s Divine Sense constantly focusing on the White Pebble Beach—much like passive sonar, not active—was not surprised by the direct contact. But now, discussing matters... what kind of rhythm was this?

However, she had a good impression of it, so she did not have a harsh attitude—women are all emotional. "No need for discussion; I just want to know when you plan to leave."

"I want to leave as soon as possible too; there are many things happening in the clan," the Nascent Soul Tree Demon rambled, adding, "I didn’t really want to come this time, but a fellow clan member got killed, and their body was taken away. Plus, the opponent was merely a Golden Core; I must maintain my dignity, right?"

"Do you find it amusing to mention this?" Yi Jue True Immortal shook her head with a mix of laughter and exasperation. "Just say it straight; what do you want?"

"I can leave, and all grudges will be cleared," said the Nascent Soul Tree Demon. Its expression actually faltered here. "Came excited, leaving disappointed," truly reflected its mood. But... this place indeed held some danger.

To avoid potential disaster, it planned to make concessions, but it also had demands, "However, I have three requests..."

"First is to take away some corpses, even if only symbolically. Face is involved; second is to take away that Earth Spirit; third, I need to know who has been tracking my position and what method was used."

"Take away the Earth Spirit?" Yi Jue True Immortal directly ignored the first point, focusing on the second. "You’re asking for too much. The Earth Spirit was allocated to Feng Jun by his Sect; leaving everything else aside, he won’t agree based on this point alone."

She thought the Tree Demon was driven by greed—which was understandable. The Earth Spirit’s value was truly high, especially for plant and wood creatures; the benefits are immense.

The Tree Demon felt wronged; the Earth Spirit was given to Feng Jun by his Sect? Wasn’t it wrong? Clearly, it was bestowed upon promising offspring by the Redwood Ancestor; was reclaiming the Redwood Clan’s belongings wrong?

Initially, it planned to expose this directly, but upon reconsideration, when Feng Jun killed the Redwood Entity, he was merely High-Rank Emergence Stage, while the Redwood Entity, although not having crossed the Heavenly Tribulation, was undeniably Nascent Soul stage—it couldn’t have been done by him alone, could it?

In essence, his Sect behind him intervened, thus the Earth Spirit counted as their spoils, and awarding Feng Jun was unsurprising—so, it was Sect property.

However, wanting to take the Earth Spirit was a sudden impulse; it wasn’t in the original plan. Only upon seeing the Earth Spirit, did it remember it was originally theirs; who knew it was still intact?

So, after consideration, it said, "This point can be shelved; the other two should be fine, right?"

"Fine? I think there’s a big issue!" Yi Jue True Immortal clearly stated, "The third point, don’t even think about it; the first point... I estimate it’s also very unlikely."

"You could at least ask him first," the Nascent Soul Tree Demon said, not in a rush. Despite a strong sense of urgency, it could still wait a bit, "Tell him not to hurry to reject, there’s plenty of time to consider."

This matched the tough talk it released earlier—back then, it claimed it didn’t believe Yi Jue True Immortal would stay here forever, nor Feng Jun would never step out. It wouldn’t do anything else, just camp at their doorstep.

Of course, now it didn’t want to camp, just wanted to escape. But continuing to pose as if guarding normally, right?

Realistically, it wasn’t afraid to maintain its position. Although the potential pressure felt quite uncomfortable, with enough caution, there’s nothing terrifying—the key is to be careful and patient, enduring for a decade or two is manageable.

Yi Jue True Immortal indeed had no strong aversion towards it—it genuinely appreciated the "Si Ganlin" Divine Skill. People are like that, right? She also liked people who flattered, "I can only ask for you."

She inquired, and Feng Jun responded, "The third point... no need to say more, you don’t know, so why should I tell it?"

Yi Jue True Immortal particularly liked such words. She chuckled and said, "Then what about the first point, just give it some materials?"

"Well," Feng Jun hesitated; he truly didn’t mind those Nascent Soul materials, nor did he want to appear stingy, but just handing them over... was it appropriate?

At that moment, a subtle tremor swept through, they exchanged glances: Was this Nascent Soul Tree Demon... getting a bit bold?

Immediately, a cold snort echoed, "Such audacity... who dares to lock this space? Audacious, show yourself!"

"Did someone break through the Space Locking Formation?" Yi Jue True Immortal’s eyebrows slightly raised.

Feng Jun had a peculiar expression, "It is... Wan Qing True Immortal?"
