Chapter 1241: The Origin of the Emperor Willow
Qi Xuansu came back to his senses from the haze.
The willow fluff was the seed of a willow tree. After this willow seed took root, it drained the entire Blood Lake dry, yet it only grew into a willow sapling.
Qi Xuansu was almost certain that this was the prototype of the Emperor Willow in the Ghost Kingdom.
Who had planted a single seed to produce such a result?
Considering that the Emperor Willow already existed in the Ghost Kingdom not long after the Daoist Order was rebuilt, it was most likely Elder Yao’s handiwork.
It was likely that Elder Yao had germinated the seed here and then transplanted the Emperor Willow to the Ghost Kingdom.
From this, it was clear that Elder Yao not only treated the Lingshan Paradise as a storage room but also conducted all kinds of research here. Elder Yao truly deserved her reputation as one of the pioneers of Daoist engineering. Many of her creations are still in use today.
Elder Yao created the Emperor Willow, then used it to seal the yin-yang fissures within the Ghost Kingdom. The Emperor Willow absorbed yin energy and grew vigorously, ultimately giving birth to Little Yin.
In other words, the Emperor Willow also shared a certain connection with the Lingshan Paradise.
However, there was one point Qi Xuansu could not figure out. Ever since he entered the Lingshan Paradise, he would occasionally fall into this hazy state and then see scenes from the past. What was the principle behind this?
Could this be some contingency left behind by Elder Yao? But that did not make sense. Elder Yao had no motive to do such a thing, nor did the Earthly Preceptors who came after.
Who, then, would have such a motive?
