Chapter 1285: Traveling with a Ghost
"This tree is formed by Sun Wing Wood, and it looks like nothing more than a burnt tree, but in reality, it harbors a divine flame, and it burned itself into this state. If you have a powerful yin-attribute treasure in your possession, then you'll be able to use it to temporarily counteract the tree's powers and allow me to free myself," Gui Wu said.
"What about the Soul Locking Box?" Han Li asked.
"This box was designed to trap my soul, but during my time here, I've been able to modify it into a protective container instead. At this point, my soul has already become inexorably connected to it, and if it's opened, then this soul fragment of mine will be exposed to the elements, and it won't be long at all before it's completely eradicated," Gui Wu said with a wry smile.
"I see. In that case, I have a simple solution in mind. Weeping Soul, I'll get you to withdraw the Soul Scattering Sand first," Han Li instructed with a smile.
Weeping Soul made a beckoning motion upon hearing this, and the golden sand clinging to the roots of the withered tree instantly returned to her side before vanishing into her body.
"I've always been saying that I was going to find a way to replenish your power, and a suitable opportunity has finally arisen," Han Li said with a smile, and a puzzled look appeared on Gui Wu's face upon hearing this.
Immediately thereafter, a fiery, silver figure sprang out of Han Li's shoulder, then rubbed its hands together in a gleeful manner before jumping onto the black tree.
A fearful look instantly appeared on Gui Wu's face upon sensing the Essence Fire Raven's aura.
"There's no need to be afraid. This is a Flame of Essence, and this tree will serve as a perfect source of sustenance for it," Han Li reassured with a smile.
"Please tell that child to be careful not to harm my remains," Gui Wu implored, then returned to the Soul Locking Box.
Han Li gave the Essence Fire Raven some precautionary instructions, then allowed it to transform into a burst of scorching, silver flames to devour the black tree.
