Chapter 268 - 240: Zhen Yuanzi’s Fierce Battle with Kong Xuan_2
People in spiritual training value their prestige above all else. When Zhen Yuanzi spoke these words, it was not entirely unreasonable. It left Kong Xuan speechless. He had intended to use his status to force Zhen Yuanzi to release Tang Sanzang and his disciples, but he hadn’t anticipated Zhen Yuanzi being so unyielding. The words were stuck in his throat and couldn’t be voiced, making him extremely uncomfortable.
Kong Xuan sighed and said, "As a monk, I possess the Innate Five Elements Spiritual Root. Since they have damaged Zhen Yuan Immortal’s pepino fruit tree, I shall try to see if I can revive Zhen Yuan Immortal’s pepino fruit tree!"
Zhen Yuanzi secretly sneered in his heart, "This pepino fruit tree is also a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root and does not belong to the Five Elements. It falls before metal, withers before wood, melts before water, burns before fire, and is buried before earth. Let’s see how your Five Elements Spiritual Root could possibly revive my pepino fruit tree!"
Zhen Yuanzi had deliberately toppled the pepino fruit tree to trouble Buddhism, and since the Leader of Heaven-Penetrating had already agreed to revive the pepino fruit tree, he wasn’t worried. When the time came, the Saint would use his divine skills and naturally, the tree would come back to life.
"Very well, since Peacock Great Ming King Bodhisattva wants to try, let him try! If he can revive my pepino fruit tree, I will naturally release Tang Sanzang and his disciples. If not, I will have no choice but to use them as compensation for their lives!" Zhen Yuanzi said lightly.
Kong Xuan said, "Zhen Yuan Immortal, please lead the way, and I shall see it for myself."
Zhen Yuanzi said, "After you, Peacock Great Ming King Bodhisattva!"
He led Kong Xuan into Wuzhuang Temple, to the backyard where the pepino fruit tree lay. The tree was on the ground, already withered, causing Kong Xuan to frown deeply.
"How can this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root’s pepino fruit tree be revived? It is exceedingly difficult!" Kong Xuan thought to himself. "I don’t even know if the essence of my Innate Five Elements Spiritual Root will be of any use. Let’s try."
Kong Xuan, not knowing that this pepino fruit tree was not part of the Five Elements, otherwise, he would not have made such a remark.
Kong Xuan formed a spell with his hands and shouted, "Rise!"
