Let's start by analyzing the sun

Chapter 192 [191] Profound Palace and Scarlet Armor Army

The tornado in the illusion was not just wind, but also contained a supernatural power – wind blades.

A massive amount of wind blades!

They were invisible and shapeless, hidden in the wind and impossible to detect.

The warriors were sucked into the tornado, and their bodies were instantly cut with bloody gashes, with several unlucky ones having their hands and arms severed.

One person was even unlucky enough to be struck by a particularly powerful wind blade, and their head was instantly chopped off, blood splattering on the spot.

A chorus of screams immediately erupted.

And this all happened in a very short time.

It was conceivable that if the tornado continued, countless people would die in it.

Just then.

The illusion suddenly changed.

It had been the handle of the Spirit Leaf, but now it switched to the boundless void outside the Divine Banyan.

A large group of giant creatures resembling whales were joyfully swimming in the void.

It was actually – the Terra Titan.

“Doo~ Doo~”

The calls of these giant beasts sounded extremely deep and sonorous, filled with joy, as if celebrating something.

Each time a Terra Titan cried out, an invisible wave of Source Energy swept across.

The wild winds roaming in the void would become more violent.

A moment later.

The illusion dissipated.

Cheng Han immediately understood: "The majority of this sudden storm is due to the impending awakening of an alien god, causing changes in the weather.

“A small part is due to the Terra Titans fueling the flames; they sensed that an alien god was about to break free, and celebrated it in this way.”

As for the tornado.

It was not difficult to understand.

The joint of the Spirit Handle itself was a natural giant wind chamber, constantly generating airflow.

More importantly, it was also part of the Divine Banyan's wind-resistant barrier.

When the void erupted with a super airflow, greatly affecting the Spirit Leaf, the joint of the Spirit Handle would gather nearby wind-type profound energy, thereby greatly reducing the vibration of the Spirit Leaf.

In other words.

The warriors ran into the tornado purely because of bad luck, arriving at the joint of the Spirit Handle just as the alien god triggered the storm.

After realizing this, Cheng Han was speechless for a moment.

He decisively issued an order: "Everyone, I have a bad feeling, no one is allowed to enter the joint of the Spirit Handle without authorization!"

According to the information from the illusion, the storm would appear in three minutes, and the tornado would form ten seconds later; the team was unlikely to pass through the giant cavity during this time.

Anyway, he was recognized by the Black Armor Army as having "super strong intuition", and this sentence "feeling not so good" was a sufficiently adequate reason.

The Black Armor Army valued obedience to orders, and although many warriors did not understand, everyone stopped.

The few warriors who had entered the joint of the Spirit Handle all obediently returned to the cave.

The vice centurion of the Second Battle Group, Mu ZhengHao, asked with a look of surprise: "Cheng Han, is that giant pillar not going to turn into a giant worm?"

Cheng Han's mouth twitched: "The giant pillar naturally contains wind-type profound energy, and is the core of the joint of the Spirit Handle; how could the grotesque possibly contaminate the core?"

Mu ZhengHao woke up: "That's right, the Divine Banyan's protective power for the core is very strong, enough to resist the grotesque."

This guy asked again: "Then what danger did you sense?"

Cheng Han said straightforwardly: "You'll know in a moment."

Mu ZhengHao's old face twitched, and he said nothing more.

No way.

Geniuses can be so unreasonable!

*

Three minutes later.

“Buzz~”

The ground shook gently.

The warriors waiting in the passage immediately stirred.

Cheng Han thought to himself: The storm is coming!

The new round of climate change caused by the alien god's resurrection had begun.

In an instant.

The ground continued to shake, and the amplitude became greater and greater.

“Woo~”

A faint wail echoed within the Spirit Leaf Handle.

This was the sound coming from the void.

Without a doubt.

The wind force was rapidly increasing.

Ten seconds later.

“Boom!”

A huge resonance suddenly erupted in the giant cavity.

The next second.

The tornado formed.

Countless visible cyclones appeared out of thin air in the cavity, flying rapidly around the giant pillar, mixed with a large amount of dust.

This amazing scene made the faces of a group of warriors change.

“Crack! Crack!”

Accompanied by strange sounds, traces similar to knife marks appeared on the ground.

The closest trace was only thirty meters away from the cave entrance, and the depth was more than a finger's width.

The wood of the Spirit Leaf Handle was very hard; even if ordinary warriors held long knives and slashed at the ground, they might not be able to cut such deep knife marks.

All of the above perfectly matched the prediction of the illusion.

Mu ZhengHao's old face twitched a few times: "These are wind blades, right?"

Cheng Han's expression was calm: "That's right!"

Mu ZhengHao swallowed: "Even wind blades have appeared; the storm inside the joint of the Spirit Leaf is probably greater than that during the autumn-winter transition."

Cheng Han nodded: "Almost!"

Mu ZhengHao looked fortunate: "Fortunately, you sensed something was wrong just now and prevented this team from entering the giant cavity, otherwise everyone would have suffered heavy casualties."

This vice centurion had the most profound understanding of the rumored "super strong intuition" for the first time.

Cheng Han smiled slightly.

“Buzz~ Buzz~”

The vibration of the ground became more and more intense, just like sailing on a raging wave.

The structure of the Spirit Leaf Handle was a giant petiole, the environment was relatively special, so the vibration felt here was much stronger than in the small spirit realm.

Many warriors could not stand firmly and had to hold on to the cave walls.

Cheng Han looked back, raised his hand, and snapped his fingers.

“Snap!”

Thick vines drilled out of the wall, forming circular pull rings.

The warriors only needed to hold the pull rings with both hands to stabilize their bodies, so they would not be tossed to and fro.

Mu ZhengHao muttered enviously: "This ability is really convenient."

Cheng Han did not respond, just stared fixedly at the tornado.

Mu ZhengHao glanced secretly, and a thought naturally popped into his mind: Could Cheng Han be trying to comprehend the wind-type profound energy characteristics?

If it were someone else, this vice centurion would definitely not think so; if profound energy characteristics were so easy to comprehend, how could they be regarded as "profound scholar qualifications"?

But a genius youth was different.

Things that ordinary people could not do, he could do!

*

Cheng Han's daze this time lasted for a full half hour.

Everyone noticed his abnormality.

Subsequently.

A obscure wave surged in Cheng Han's body, and he raised his hand to make a strange gesture.

“Whoosh~”

A gust of wind suddenly rushed out of the passage, forming a miniature tornado ten meters away.

Mu ZhengHao was dumbfounded.

My God!

He actually succeeded in comprehending it!

One breath later.

The power of the giant tornado tore the miniature tornado apart.

This small experiment was forced to end.

Cheng Han shook his head: "The power is too weak!"

He analyzed the wind-type profound energy characteristics, but unfortunately could not condense wind blades.

Mu ZhengHao could not help but say: "This is already very remarkable, you are too harsh on yourself."

Cheng Han smiled and changed the subject: "The tornado will not end for a while, let's bypass the cavity and finish cleaning the Spirit Leaf Handle earlier."

Mu ZhengHao was stunned: "How to bypass it? There doesn't seem to be a second road here."

This guy immediately woke up: "You plan to use the Qing Yuan Rune Seal to forcibly open up a road?"

Cheng Han nodded affirmatively: "I'm afraid the tornado won't stop for a day and a night; I don't want to wait so long."

Mu ZhengHao euphemistically advised: "The wood of the Spirit Leaf Handle is very hard, even void worms won't touch it here; the difficulty of opening up a passage is much greater.

“Moreover, the area of the cavity is so large; bypassing here requires digging a very long road; doing so consumes too much mental power.”

This vice centurion estimated that such a huge project, even if everyone worked together, might not be completed in a day and a night, so it was better to wait for the tornado to end.

Cheng Han did not take it seriously: "When dealing with the giant worm grotesque earlier, I comprehended a new method."

In that battle against the giant worm grotesque, he analyzed a lot of knowledge and made a lot of additions to the Qing Yuan Rune Seal.

Now the rune seal he mastered was very different from the Qing Yuan Rune Seals of other warriors.

Cheng Han slapped the wall hard.

“Bang!”

The wooden wall actually wriggled like dough, quickly forming a new passage.

The width was just enough for two people to walk side by side.

Mu ZhengHao was convinced.

He always thought he had overestimated the genius, but the fact proved that he had been underestimating him.

Cheng Han took the lead into the passage: "Let's go."

The others filed in, closely following him.

*

Early the next morning.

Another spring arrived.

All the warriors, wearing masks, gathered in a large cavity.

The ground in the center of the crowd was piled with more than three hundred insect corpses.

Just now.

Cheng Han directed his warriors to easily encircle and annihilate this small insect swarm.

Without a single casualty.

The large number of fluorescent seeds the warriors received played a huge role.

Faced with the dual attack of short spears and seeds, the insect swarm was beaten without any resistance.

In full view of everyone.

Cheng Han waved his right hand.

Hundreds of vines quickly drilled out of the ground, covering the insect mountain, and began to recycle the energy within.

Cheng Han then looked around and announced good news: "Everyone, one hundred meters ahead is the 'Spirit Leaf Gate'; this mission is coming to an end."

A group of people immediately smiled happily.

Before long.

The mountain-like insect corpses were completely devoured, and the vines retracted back into the ground.

Cheng Han personally led the way, leading a large group of people through the last long passage, and saw two huge wooden doors.

The height exceeded fifty meters.

Each was engraved with a giant tree.

These two doors were called – the Spirit Leaf Gate.

The end point of each cleaning of void worms was these two Spirit Leaf Gates.

Behind the door was the Spirit Branch under the jurisdiction of the Qing Han Profound Palace.

This spirit branch was connected to forty-eight spirit leaves, all of which were small spirit realms subordinate to the Profound Palace.

Cheng Han took out a bell-shaped magic tool, input a mental power, and shook it hard.

“Dang!”

The sound quality was dull.

This was sending a message to notify the gatekeeper on the other side.

The next moment.

The Spirit Leaf Gate suddenly surged with strange fluctuations; a large area of green light quickly emerged, condensing into a pair of illusory green eyeballs.

The eyes opened, scanned around, and then disappeared.

This was a means of checking the situation.

If the Profound Palace found that the situation was not right, it would not open the gate.

“Buzz!”

The Spirit Leaf Gate vibrated violently and slowly opened.

Behind the door was another deep passage.

Cheng Han took several vice centurions, walked for a full minute, passed through three more Spirit Leaf Gates, and entered another huge cavity.

Its space was about half the size of the Spirit Handle Joint.

The Spirit Branch had arrived.

Outside the passage, a group of warriors wearing red armor guarded, staring at everyone with fierce eyes.

It was the Scarlet Armor Army under the Profound Palace.

The leader of this team, a warrior over two meters tall, comparable to a bear, whose rank was senior team leader, asked loudly: "Are you the Black Armor Army of the Tai An Small Spirit Realm?"

Cheng Han stepped forward and saluted: "That's right!"

The leader frowned: "The Profound Palace only issued a cleaning order the day before yesterday; today you have arrived at the Spirit Leaf Gate; did you take a shortcut to come for help?"

Under normal circumstances, each small spirit realm would take at least five days to complete the cleaning task, and it was not surprising that it took more than seven days.

Arriving at the Spirit Leaf Gate in just one day, requesting support was the most logical guess.

Cheng Han shook his head: "No, the Tai An Black Armor Army has completed the cleaning task and came to turn in the order!"

After saying that.

He waved and tossed over a black token.

The leader subconsciously took the token, greatly surprised: "The mission is completed? This is impossible?!"

Cheng Han responded calmly: "The power of the Divine Banyan has recorded everything; you can verify it with the Profound Formation, and the result will be known at a glance."
