Chapter 320: Flying Free (3/3)
World Tree!
Jiang Zheng's proposal made Malfurion stunned for a moment, and his eyes lit up.
Druids have done this more than once!
The War of the Ancients, the explosion of the Well of Eternity, causing the heavens and the earth to collapse. The vast continent of ancient Kalimdor was torn apart, and the current planetary landform was created.
At that time, the mother tree "Garnier", the oldest and tallest tree that is said to be the source of all plants in all of Azeroth, and the habitat of the crow demigod Avina, was also destroyed, but the Red Dragon Queen saved a few seeds of Garnier.
Later, Illidan made a second Well of Eternity here.
In order to stabilize the energy of the Well of Eternity and to heal the devastated planet, the Red Dragon Queen threw one of these seeds into the Well of Eternity and grew into the world's first World Tree: the oak tree "Nordasil".
Four thousand five hundred years ago, the Saron Evil Iron Vein began to quietly grow, emitting evil energy and shadow energy, absorbing the life force of plants and animals.
In order to completely eliminate the Saron Evil Iron, the druids, led by Grand Druid Vandal Deerhelm, cut off six magical branches from Nodashir and planted them in locations around the world where the Saron Evil Iron is active.
These newly-grown giant trees connected to the Emerald Dream, and with the energy of the Emerald Dream Erasing the Evil Iron of Saron, the plants in these places began to flourish.
Five of them worked well, and the Saron Iron quickly disappeared: Ashenvale, Crystal Song Forest, and Firas, as well as the Twilight Forest and Hinterland in the Eastern Continent. There is still a gateway to the Emerald Dream Realm, though it has faced depravity and pollution.
Then the Druids grew in their faith and planted the thickest branch in Northrend, where the Salonite had the most iron, and tended to grow it into the new World Tree, Andasil.
Andahir grew very well and really erased the Saron Evil Iron, but the huge root system invaded the depths of the ground, the ancient Titan Prison, causing the prison to loosen, and the power of the ancient god "Yogsaron" corrupted the nascent World Tree, and the druids had to destroy it and become the "Broken Crown" Vodasil.
But the power of Yugsaron and the other ancient gods has infiltrated the Emerald Dream Realm, giving birth to the Emerald Nightmare.
It can be said that the current Emerald Nightmare, which plagues the green dragon and the night elves, and even threatens the lives of all living beings in the entire world, is actually caused by the druids.
Planting trees is risky, and Xiaode needs to be cautious.
There is no prison of the ancient gods in the Eastern Continent, and there is no problem in planting the World Tree, which can indeed heal the earth.
The World Tree is directly connected to the Emerald Dream Realm, and there is no doubt that the pollution caused by demons or undead can be cured quickly.
But the stakes are high, and even if he and Cenarius are there, a meeting of druids must be convened to discuss with the other great druids.
On top of that, if Jiang Zheng just needed a magic branch from Nodashir, even if it was a trunk branch, it would be easy to solve. But what Jiang Zheng wants now is a seed from the mother tree "Garnier", which is equivalent to planting a world tree equivalent to "Nordasil", I'm afraid I have to find the Red Dragon Queen.
Those seeds, only the Red Dragon Queen has.
Planting the World Tree, this is a big deal, it must be discussed with the guardian dragons, and it is not necessary to alarm the green dragon queen Ysera, but it is not easy to summon her from the depths of the Emerald Dream, even this time the battle of Mount Hyjal, she has not been able to participate, she has been fighting against the Emerald Nightmare, and the threat of that thing is no worse than Akmund.
"Nicholas, I'll call an emergency meeting and get back to you within a month at the latest." Malfurion said.
It's not that the druids are slow, it's that it's troublesome and takes a long time to wake up and gather the Great Druids from all over the world. If the meeting passes, it will take time to go and ask for a seed from the Red Dragon Queen.
"Of course." Jiang Zai chuckled, and then took his leave.
Leaving the World Tree, Jiang Zheng came to the edge of Mount Hyjal.
Standing on the cliff and looking at the dense forest below, Jiang Zai chuckled.
The position where he was standing now was the southernmost part of Mount Hyjal, and as far as the eye could see, the Ash Valley Forest.
It's not just Shantis Feather Moon and her Sentinels and Silverwing Sentinels who hunt demons in this forest, but Prince Kael'thas and his High Elf mages.
There's another person, and that's Illidan.
Jiang Zai believed that Illidan must still be in this area, because even if he was betrayed by the entire Night Elf race, Illidan was still willing to hunt demons because of the promise he made to Tyrande.
In fact, Jiang Zheng knew that even without Tyrande, Illidan would continue to hunt demons. Because he is a demon hunter, the purpose of his existence is to hunt demons, and from the moment he pretended to defect to the Burning Legion, he has decided to give everything to destroy the Burning Legion, including his love, his race, and his life.
Jiang Zai didn't summon the Onyx Pan Clyche, the guy didn't know where to hide, he was frightened by Lao Chen, and even Jiang Zai couldn't find him.
Nor is it required.
His hands stretched out on his sides, and his innate true qi gushed out, forming a pair of invisible wings under his ribs, and then leaped down from Mount Hyjal!
Jiang Zai manipulated the innate true qi, flapped the wings of the true qi, and tried to fly like a real bird.
The biggest feature of the innate realm is that it can "condense true qi", such as forming innate qi, and of course, it can also form the wings of birds.
Although it is easy to say, it is difficult to do, ordinary innate martial artists simply can't do it, and none of the ten innate martial artists can glide for a short time, let alone fly like a real bird, it is simply impossible.
Jiang Zai is different.
Because of the cultivation of the Xuanwu Immortal Technique, his true qi in the same realm is twice as much as that of others, and the innate second layer can barely condense into a pair of wings that are not so wide.
Moreover, because he has practiced the "Five Fowl Opera", and the Five Fowl Opera has also reached a high level, he has never stopped practicing for several months, so when needed, he can achieve "light posture" and "lift weights like light", imitating the posture of birds, and fluttering his wings.
It's not the first time Jiang Zai has tried it, he has done a few experiments before, and the effect is barely okay, but he has never tried to jump from a height of tens of thousands of meters.
This is the first time.
Feeling the cold wind and biting bones, Jiang Zheng couldn't separate even a trace of true qi to protect himself, he had to use a large amount of true qi to maintain invisible wings.
The speed of the fall is getting faster and faster, and Jiang Zai tries to maintain his inner peace and flutter his wings to fly.
A minute later, Jiang Zai shook his head with a wry smile.
It's too difficult.
After hundreds of attempts in these days, he has basically mastered the essentials, but his true qi is still too little, barely maintaining a minute of gliding, and half of his true qi has been consumed.
"I have a dream, like all human beings, that one day I can fly freely in the sky......" Jiang Zai sighed.
Turn around and crash headlong into the cliff!
Then, just as he was about to collide, he removed his wings, bent his fingers, and stabbed hard into the rock!
Immediately after, like an ape, he climbed over the cliff and descended at great speed, much stronger than the best climbers!
This is the "ape play" in the "Five Fowl Play".
The Five Birds Opera has been inherited for thousands of years, and it is said that it was created by the divine doctor Hua Tuo, and it has infinite mysteries. It seems simple, but in fact, with the improvement of Jiang Zao's martial arts realm, he found that this simplest exercise is actually "liberating nature" and "learning from nature", and if he continues to practice, he may be able to achieve the same effect as the druid's "animal form".
Although Jiang Zheng is still far away, he has been working hard, and now it has begun to bear fruit.
After a full two hours, Jiang Zai came to the foot of the mountain, and after a short rest, he ran all the way south.
As night fell, Jiang Zheng finally came to the "Demon Slayer Canyon" in the south.
