Trees are trees after all; most of the time, their brains are not as nimble as those of living creatures. To be more precise, it does not really have a brain at all. Over thousands of years, this creature accidentally tasted the sweetness of preying on living things, and so it constantly used this tactic to nourish itself, eventually cultivating into a demon.
Normally, ordinary Mind and Spiritual power have no effect on this kind of demon. The Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Divine Tree is essentially more similar to the undead. Against creatures without brains like the undead, Mind Element magic is practically useless.
Ding Yumian is different. She is a Calamity Bearer; the Mind Element is merely the superficial manifestation of her power. As long as it is a living being, it will produce emotions. Even if it is dead, as long as there is the tiniest shred of a remnant soul, it can still be manipulated by her!
