Chapter 138 Crisis in the Senran Secret Realm 3
Watching Mu Qianqian walk step by step to the huge golden banyan tree, Li Qian did not follow her, but asked: "What is this?"

"This is the 'Banyan Saint' that I explained to the tourists before. It is also the contracted pet of our Mu family's ancestors, and the guardian of this mysterious and secluded place." Mu Qianqian replied.

As she spoke, she had already arrived under the crown of the huge golden banyan tree.

Li Qian thought about it for a moment, then followed him in.

Li Qian was not surprised that the giant tree in front of him was not a tree, but a pet, a powerful pet.

It is so huge, so majestic, so magical, so extraordinary, how could it be just an ordinary giant tree.

Moreover, this is a world of beast taming, and all kinds of pets may appear.

Plant-based pets are not uncommon.

"What... happened to it?" Li Qian asked.

Mu Qianqian mentioned that there was a problem with this Senran Secret Realm, and then she brought him here and saw the guardian of the secret realm. So, he couldn't help but speculate that there might be a problem with the guardian of the secret realm.

As it turned out, his speculation was not wrong.

Soon, Mu Qianqian's answer confirmed this point, "Since the death of the ancestor, Rong Zu has been guarding here. It has been 1,200 years. Even if it has long been promoted to the Holy Spirit level, it has almost reached the limit of its life."

Whether it is a plant pet, an elemental pet, or even a metal or rock pet, its essence is still a living being.

As long as it is a living thing, it will have a lifespan limit. Even the mechanical system, which is theoretically unaffected by anything, cannot escape this.

It is said that mechanical life will produce a self-destruct virus after a certain age, destroying its internal programs. Countless mechanics have tried their best to solve this problem, but none of them have been able to do so.

Plant pets generally have a longer lifespan, but that also has a limit.

Although Li Qian was not sure what impact the secret realm would have if its guardian god died.

However, there is no doubt that this impact is definitely not good.

Since he knew the result but not the reason, Li Qian simply asked directly, "If the guardian of this secret realm dies, what will happen to the secret realm?"

"This mysterious and mysterious place will collapse directly and disappear into Mount Sumeru." Mu Qianqian looked at the motionless golden banyan tree and said in a rather frustrated voice.

"Is there any way to save her?" Li Qian heard this and felt the sadness in Mu Qianqian's voice, so he asked.

Of course, he knew very well that asking was just consolation and would not actually have much effect.

Even the Mu family, a thousand-year-old beast-taming family, was unable to solve the problem. Even if a small figure like Li Qian knew the problem, he could only sigh helplessly, as he had the will but not the ability to do anything.

Mu Qianqian was obviously aware of the situation, but even though she knew that Li Qian had no way to save her, she still explained the situation to relieve her inner frustration.

"There are two ways to save us, but both are difficult to achieve."

Without stopping, he continued, "First, use various resources to help Master Rong break through a small realm. This can extend his life by at least twenty years. Although it is not a cure for the disease, it can be a temporary solution and solve the urgent problem."

"However, the original form of the Banyan Ancestor is an ancient golden banyan tree. Even after undergoing a mutation, its upper limit of potential is only the first level of Holy Spirit. Currently, its strength has reached the fourth level of Holy Spirit, which is the theoretical limit."

"If you want to improve your strength once more, even if it's just a small realm, it will be extremely difficult, as difficult as ascending to heaven."

Mu Qianqian used the words "very difficult" and "difficult as climbing to heaven" in succession, which was enough to explain the difficulty of this matter. Considering the ability of the Mu family as a thousand-year-old beast taming family and the importance of the Senran Secret Realm to the Mu family, it is estimated that all kinds of methods have been tried.

At this point, it seems that there is nothing that can be done.

After hearing this, Li Qian nodded helplessly, "What about the second method?"

He restrained himself and did not mention the matter of evolution.

Whether it is from koi to blue-scaled dragon, or from koi to frost-fire demon salamander, in the final analysis, it is only research at the overlord level.

However, the mutated ancient golden banyan tree is different. It is a Holy Spirit-level pet and has reached the fourth level of Holy Spirit.

Even though Li Qian was confident in his golden finger, he still felt it was impossible to research this level of pet evolution method.

Totally impossible.

Considering the difficulty of this task, it is not impossible that it will remain on the task board for ten years without being completed.

Li Qian would naturally not be foolish enough to establish such a research task.

Mu Qianqian shook her head, then spoke up with the second method, "Have another Holy Spirit-level pet take over the control of the Senran Secret Realm."

After hearing this, Li Qian couldn't help but nodded, "This is indeed a very good method."

After that, he continued to ask, "Your Mu family should have more than one Holy Spirit-level pet, right?"

Mu Qianqian smiled bitterly, "Indeed, there is more than one, but the one who takes over the control of the secret realm must be a pet of the same lineage, that is, it must also be an ancient golden banyan tree, and it must have reached the Holy Spirit level."

"We in the Mu family still have a few ancient golden banyan trees, but they are all ordinary ancient golden banyan trees, and have not mutated. Among them, the Second Ancestor, who has invested most of the resources in cultivating, is currently only at the ninth level of the Emperor, and there is no hope of a breakthrough."

After listening to Mu Qianqian's statement, Li Qian couldn't help but frowned.

There seem to be two solutions, but in reality, both solutions are extremely difficult to achieve.

No wonder Mu Qianqian was so worried.

Even in the entire secret realm, all the members of the Mu family looked as if they were worried.

"How long can Banyan Ancestor maintain this state?" Li Qian looked at the motionless mutated ancient golden banyan tree and asked.

"In order to avoid excessive loss of energy, Rong Zu is now in deep sleep most of the time. But even so, it can only last about five years." Mu Qianqian also glanced at Rong Zu, and then fell into memories.

This mutated ancient golden banyan tree is not only the patron saint of their Mu family, but also has an unusual meaning to him. He remembers that when he was a child, he often came here to play with brothers and sisters of similar age.

Once, when playing hide-and-seek, she even playfully climbed onto Rong Zu's body.

Later, he was discovered by the elders of the family and his butt was almost broken.

In the end, it was Rong Zu who suddenly spoke up and pleaded for her, and she was saved. So to her, Rong Zu was more like a amiable elder rather than a guardian god or a pet animal.
