#2345 - Check

"The sealed passage is in a closed state and requires the power of all the clans to open it." Dipper explained, "Forcibly breaking the seal from the outside may cause fluctuations and affect the internal seal."

The situation deep within the seal is unknown, and the smaller the fluctuations caused by the outside world, the better, so Dipper summoned the major clans to assist in opening the entrance.

However, Dipper was a little surprised to see the Great Elders of each clan personally present.

Fang Heng stood in place, not moving, vigilantly watching the group of people in front of him.

"How do I know this isn't a trap set up by you to deal with me?"

"Opening the seal is such an important matter that we naturally have to come and see for ourselves, to avoid any accidents." Senzo's eyes swept over Fang Heng, with a hint of coldness in his gaze, "As for you Soul Clan, is that old fellow Jeno really comfortable letting you come alone?"

"The Great Elder is not feeling well and rarely leaves the clan. His condition worsened after returning yesterday…"

"Alright, alright, let's cut the small talk," Tamsangjia impatiently interrupted Dipper's words, raising his hand and saying, "Let's begin."

The passage in front of everyone was blocked by a giant, entangled mass of tree roots.

Dipper and the three Great Elders of the other three clans walked to the entrance in front of the vines, lined up, and condensed a seal in front of them with both hands.

Under the illumination of the four-colored light, the vines covering the passage entrance in front quickly dispersed, revealing a passage behind.

"Chi, chi chi…"

Weak black mist of contamination leaked from the opening.

The seal had been in place for hundreds of years, and it seemed that only a small portion of the black mist was leaking out.

The sealing effect seemed to be quite good.

Fang Heng looked at the entrance, secretly pondering.

"Please." Senzo looked at Dipper, nodding, "Since this matter is being presided over by the Soul Clan, it is more appropriate for you to lead the way."

"Yes."

Dipper nodded and took the lead in stepping into the Seal Cave.

Stepping into the passage, the ground beneath his feet was soft soil.

Fang Heng could feel the aura of contamination slowly emanating from the soil.

After a long period of contamination, the soil had been greatly corroded and had become extremely loose.

"We're here."

After advancing along the passage for a while, a larger open space appeared in front.

On the open space, one could vaguely see the traces of magic array patterns left behind.

Due to the long time that had passed, the outermost layer of the magic array's patterns had become very dim and had suffered large-scale damage, completely losing its effectiveness.

"The place we are currently standing is the sealed land."

Dipper walked to the side of the open space and introduced, "From the fragments obtained from the Tree Spirit Clan's classics, our Soul Clan judged that the Tree Spirit Clan in the 'Inner World' gathered the power of the entire clan and consumed all the power of the previous Divine Tree to seal Sharuba underground."

"As a result, the Divine Tree also completely lost its power and withered. After losing the Divine Tree, the power of the Tree Spirit Clan could not be replenished, leading to gradual decline and complete extinction."

Fang Heng squatted on the ground, gently touching the black soil beneath his feet, feeling the aura coming from the earth.

Blocked by layers of special sealing power buried under the soil, the Demon Seed was sealed deep underground.

But after so many years, the aura was still slowly seeping out, resulting in the current scene.

So…

Which Demon Seed is buried below?

It was temporarily impossible to judge.

It would be best if it was the Sloth Demon Seed.

At that time, he might be able to find a way to let the Shadow Demon Rat devour and transform the Demon Seed's power.

If it was another Demon Seed…

It would probably be a bit difficult to completely destroy it.

He could consider trying to communicate with the other party and ask him to help deal with 'Jealousy'?

They were both Demon Seeds, so everyone should be able to sit down and have a good talk.

Fang Heng felt that he might be able to fool the other party into cooperating.

The Root Clan Great Elder asked, "How is it? Fang Heng? After looking for so long, have you found anything?"

"The seal is being slowly eroded by the power of contamination." Fang Heng stood up and said, "I can find a way to add some reinforcement to the outer perimeter of the seal and repair the magic array every month. In theory, we can keep the magic array stable for five years, but it's hard to say after that. The seal below will slowly be corrupted as time goes on…"

"Fang Heng," Senzo shook his head and continued, "You may not be clear, but the power of contamination is currently in a calm period. If it were during a period of violent fluctuations, I'm afraid it wouldn't be like what you see now. We need you to completely solve this problem."

"Hmph." Tamsangjia snorted softly, turned around, and was about to leave, "I said long ago that no one can deal with contamination, so there's no need to waste time. I have things to do, so I'll take my leave first."

"It's not that there's completely no way."

Tamsangjia couldn't help but stop and look back at Fang Heng.

Everyone was in a try-it-and-see mentality when they asked Fang Heng to come and check.

Did he really have a way?

"However, this method is a bit dangerous."

"Fang Heng, just say what you have to say. The Great Elders are all present. If you can really completely eliminate the black mist, we will naturally do our best."

"Okay, I'll just say it directly. Unleash the seal and let me talk to the Demon Seed."

"Are you crazy!"

As soon as he said this, Tamsangjia's expression changed drastically, and he sternly reprimanded, "Do you know how much we paid to temporarily seal Sharuba?! You want to release it?"

The so-called sealed Demon Seed was all said by Fang Heng.

It was unknown whether it was true or false.

In the eyes of the Tree Spirit Clan, Sharuba, who was sealed below the sealed land, was extremely powerful. Once he was released, the entire world would be devastated.

Who knew if Fang Heng could really communicate with him?

The Root Clan Great Elder stared at Fang Heng and said in a deep voice, "Fang Heng, how confident are you?"

"One hundred percent."

Fang Heng added in his heart: One hundred percent uncertain.

The worst-case scenario was releasing the source of contamination, the communication with the Demon Seed completely failing, and also not being able to defeat the Demon Seed.

If that really happened, he would just run away.

Anyway, the Demon Seed's enemy was the Tree Spirit Clan.

No matter what the final result was, Fang Heng felt that he would not suffer a loss.

Dipper lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked, "Everyone, what do you think of Fang Heng's proposal?"
