Chapter 161 Origin
The news that Xiao Fulin was seriously injured and unconscious spread quickly in Xuantianzong, causing an uproar.
This alchemy ceremony was held for Xiao Fulin. Seeing the number one genius cultivator in the world of cultivating immortals being conspired to be seriously injured and unconscious, everyone in the world of cultivating immortals had their own speculations in mind.
And Liu'er also learned the news not long after. She was looking for Master Taiqing in the sect, and the youngest junior brother at Jianfeng, where she was, happened to meet her, so she came forward and told her about it. With schadenfreude.
After all, they belong to the same sect, and the younger junior brother is about the same age as Xiao Fulin, obviously both are 16 years old. Xiao Fulin has obtained most of the resources of the Xuantian sect with his back on the head of the sect, so he was able to advance so quickly Jindan period.
And the little junior brother himself is only at the early stage of foundation establishment, and he can be regarded as the best among the younger generation, but compared with Xiao Fulin, he is not enough at all.
What's more, even if the Xuantian Sect is the number one sect in the world, the resources in the sect are limited. After most of them are assigned to Xiao Fulin, the cultivation resources of other disciples will be reduced.
Therefore, even though everyone knows that Xiao Fulin is the jewel in the palm of the head, they are still dissatisfied with Xiao Fulin, especially because she has an arrogant personality and usually looks at people with her chin raised, so everyone's impression of her is even worse. .
Liu'er could understand the mood of the little junior brother, she didn't care, she just frowned when she heard the words, for some reason, she always felt that Xiao Fulin's injury was not as simple as the rumors spread on the surface.
And what a coincidence, originally Xiao Fulin was born on the same day as his own sister in the same year, according to Wu Yiling, this person was born with the help of Xiaoshu's life.
Now when Xiaoshu was unconscious for some unknown reason, Xiao Fulin also suffered from the same symptoms...
An ominous premonition arose in Liu Er's heart, and she always felt that there was some connection between them.
She has been in the Xuantian Sect for many years. She has a gentle and kind personality. She has good strength and is rich in wealth. She is very generous to her brothers and disciples of the sect. After so many years, she has her own contacts.
She ordered her staff to look for Master Taiqing in Xuantianzong, and she went through the entire Xuantianzong herself, but she couldn't find Master Taiqing, so she could only return to Jing Aoxue's arranged residence.
After waiting, I learned that Jing Aoxue went to the Putuo School to find Master Taiqing. Respectful.
Liu'er looked at Xiaoshu who was still unconscious on the bed, and said: "Mother, I only found out that Xiao Fulin was seriously injured and unconscious, and now the sect is making great efforts to save her."
Shen Lvman kept injecting spiritual energy into Xiaoshu's body. After trying it, the lost spiritual energy and injected spiritual energy formed a dynamic balance, allowing her to persist for a while.
But in the end, it was the body that was damaged. In addition to spiritual energy, vitality and wood-type abilities were also lost. Only when Jing Aoxue came back and injected wood-type abilities, could she persist for a longer time.
But Jing Aoxue set off to look for Master Taiqing, Shen Luman lowered her eyes and said: "This matter, you will tell your mother through the jade card later, this Xuantian Sect can't stay longer, it may attract more people after a long time. Because of their suspicion, I plan to take Xiaoshu to leave Xuantianzong immediately, and go to the residence arranged by Rendan Palace, at least it will be safer there."
Liu'er nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll send you out now."
While Xuantianzong was in a panic because of Xiao Fulin's matter, Liu'er successfully sent Shen Luman and the three of them out without attracting anyone's attention. After they settled in the bedroom of the residence, Liu'er Son was relieved.
She said: "I will contact my mother now."
As she said that, she took out the jade token, and started to contact Jing Aoxue through different ways of infusing spiritual energy.
Jing Aoxue got connected quickly, and said excitedly, "Did you find Master Taiqing? Then I'll be right back."
Liu Er said: "No, I searched the entire Xuantian Sect, but I couldn't find Master Taiqing. I think he left early, and he may be on his way back to Putuo Sect now."
Hearing this, Jing Aoxue said disappointedly: "Then why are you looking for me?"
Xiaoshu said: "A strange thing happened to me. I learned from my junior brother that Xiao Fulin also lost consciousness today. The symptoms sound similar to Xiaoshu. I think there may be some connection between them, so... "
Jing Aoxue didn't expect this to happen, and she couldn't help frowning.
She had previously guessed that Xiaoshu was unconscious because Master Taiqing was causing trouble, so even though she was anxious, she knew that as long as the former Putuo sect asked for help, the other party would be able to revive Xiaoshu.
But Xiao Fulin is also unconscious, that's very weird, this makes Jing Aoxue can't help but suspect the real reason for Xiaoshu's coma.
If Master Taiqing did not cause Xiaoshu to go into a coma, she was not sure that the other party would be able to save Xiaoshu.
Time is urgent.
Jing Aoxue hesitated. She glanced at the Donghua Mountains at her feet. It would take at least five days to go to the Putuo Sect. Counting the back and forth and making things difficult for Master Taiqing, Xiaoshu's life would be at stake when she came back again. , may not be able to save.
And when she was hesitating, someone helped her make a choice.
A black figure, like a whirlwind, flew towards her, Jing Aoxue dodged in time, until she saw the figure clearly, she said in horror: "Lu Wugui?!"
The person in front of her is the nightmare that she has regarded as her enemy all these years. They haven't seen each other for more than ten years since they parted ways in the world of cultivating immortals. Why is she suddenly appearing now?
Jing Aoxue's vigilance reached its limit, and she asked, "What do you want to do?"
Lu Wujiu's face was a little pale, but her lips were rosy, and she looked a bit evil, she smiled, shrugged and said: "Of course I need you to save your second daughter, just listen to it obediently." my words."
It's her fault!
Jing Aoxue's eyes were red with anger, regardless of 21, she rushed towards her, the vines turned into sharp blades and flew in the air, so many years have passed, Lu Wujiu's cultivation is also at the late stage of Jindan, Jing Aoxue thinks that she will not lose.
Just kill her, the chief culprit, here to avoid future troubles!
Thinking of this, Jing Aoxue became more aggressive in attacking, and threw the magic weapon and talisman at Lu Wujiu for free.
Lu Wujiu dodged to dodge, but he was no match for Jing Aoxue's fierce attack, and was hit squarely.
Taking advantage of the victory, Jing Aoxue pursued her, took out her sword and stabbed towards her, Lu Wujiu turned around and fought back, the two of them fought together.
The two have the same cultivation base, Jing Aoxue is not good at fighting, and so is the opponent, so even after fighting for several hours, they are still on par. Both of them suffered serious injuries, but Jing Aoxue struck harder, so Lu Wu The guilt is more serious.
Jing Aoxue felt resentful in her heart, panting rapidly, she was about to kill Lu Wugui.
And Lu Wujiu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she sneered a few times, wiped the blood from her face, and said: "Keep beating, anyway, I will be buried with Shen Xiaoshu, I will not suffer at all!"
Jing Aoxue's eyes were red, when the opponent was exhausted, a sword pierced Lu Wujiu's heart.
Lu Wujiu's eyes widened, a puff of black smoke ran out from her lifeless eyes, and the giggles of Demon Night resounded in the sky of Donghua Mountains, she said: "Jing Aoxue, you have finally grown up , actually killed one of my physical bodies.”
One of the flesh!It means that the nightmare has other physical bodies.
Jing Aoxue had long expected that Nightmare would not be so easy to kill. In ancient times, even seven immortals together could only block her and suppress her, and she escaped in the end.
But knowing it was the same thing, she must kill Lu Wujiu to vent her anger!
After killing this body, Jing Aoxue also calmed down a little. She looked at the black smoke flying around her expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Xiao Fulin will be your next body."
Nightmare's voice came, and he said with a smile: "It's a little bit smarter, Lu Wujiu's physical aptitude is too bad, it wasted me to cultivate for several years, but my cultivation base has not improved much, and it is extremely difficult to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage , if relying on this physical body, nothing can be done."
Jing Aoxue sneered, and said: "You are too modest. If I guessed correctly, you are the one who is playing tricks in the dark in the melee between Taoists and demons in Donghua Mountains."
Nightmare responded casually, and said: "You are so weak, and you can't be played with, but you can't be killed. Hey, I always want to have some fun for myself."
Jing Aoxue clenched her fists, stared at Demon Nightmare coldly, and said, "Scumbag! I heard that Xiao Fulin was seriously injured, why don't you take care of your own body, why come here and pester me?"
Nightmare grunted, and said: "Don't you wonder why Shen Xiaoshu and Xiao Fulin fell into a coma at the same time?"
Jing Aoxue folded her arms and kept silent. The sudden appearance of the nightmare must have a reason, and she kept reminding herself of Xiaoshu's coma.
Nightmare is not an aimless person, just like what she said before she was looking for fun, and it is impossible to set off a melee between dao and demon just for fun, maybe there is a deeper conspiracy hidden.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Demon Night sighed boredly, and said: "Xiao Fulin's physical body is 16 years old, and he officially became an adult after last night. I have spent a lot of effort to bring this physical body into being. It was done, but the way of heaven does not allow this body to continue to grow, so it set up this second fatal level."
"And Xiaoshu... her fate is very good. With her life, I was able to let Xiao Fulin be born, and I even escaped the thunder disaster. This time, I will naturally use her life to escape the heaven again. , continue to live."
Jing Aoxue angrily used the talisman to burst the black smoke. It turned out that all this was caused by the nightmare!
And the so-called borrowing life is really borrowing life. Once Xiao Fulin encounters the punishment of heaven, Xiao Shu who was borrowed by Xiao Fulin will receive the same punishment, so Xiao Shu will be unconscious this time. What Nightmare did.
Nightmare in the smoke state is very difficult to deal with, she does not move at all, allowing Jing Aoxue to take revenge, but Jing Aoxue can't hurt her.
Jing Aoxue was even more angry, but reason told her that the most important thing to do now was to save Xiaoshu, even if it was to save the nightmare's body, she had to do so!
She took a deep breath, calmed down the resentment and anger in her heart, and said coldly: "So, how to save?"
Nightmare smiled and turned into a face, which was the face of Xiaoshu, but said with a completely different demonic expression: "In the forbidden area of Shenmuzong, there is a tree of origin of the world, I want the core of that tree, you Give me the core after you get it, and I can save your precious daughter."
Jing Aoxue's eyes were gloomy, and she said, "Why don't you go there yourself?"
Demon Night imitated Xiaoshu's appearance, pouted and said coquettishly: "Mother~ I am not a Danxiu, even if I am the leader of the demon clan, I don't know how to make alchemy. Since it is the forbidden area of the Shenmu Sect, there are naturally many obstacles. The alchemist needs to pass the assessment in person to get the core."
Jing Aoxue turned her head away, not wanting to see her spoiling Xiaoshu's face.
She looked in Xuantianzong's direction, and said: "Since you can control Lu Wujiu, then you only need to control the head of Shenmuzong."
Nightmare said: "Do you think I haven't tried it? It's a pity that the source of the world needs to be obtained by the Son of Destiny himself. Even if I am a fake child of destiny, even if I get close to the tree of origin of the world, even if I destroy it, I still can't get the source. , now that you know how honorable your own status is, I am reluctant to kill you."
Jing Aoxue's cold eyes fell on her, and said: "Since it is the source tree of the world, if it loses its core, then this world of cultivating immortals will be..."
Nightmare pretended to be surprised, tilted his head and said innocently: "But mother~ Xiaoshu wants to live, is Xiaoshu important, or is this world of cultivating immortals more important? Mother~~~"
Jing Aoxue: "..."
Her fingernails were embedded in the flesh, and she said through gritted teeth, "Okay, I'll go to the Shenmu Sect to retrieve the so-called core!"
Nightmare narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and laughed, "Then I'll wait for your good news, remember not to delay too long, Xiaoshu is facing the curse of heaven, even if someone replenishes her spiritual energy, it won't be too late." A long life, one month at most, after one month, even if you get the World Origin Tree, the little tree has already been killed by the Dao of Heaven."
She spread her hands and said, "Don't risk your precious daughter's life just to kill me. I'm a demon, and I can't die easily. At worst, I'll change my body."
After saying that, her figure gradually dissipated, leaving only Jing Aoxue alone in the world.
She was silent for a long time, then suddenly revealed a bitter smile, she took one last look in the direction of Xuantianzong, turned around and went to Shenmuzong without looking back.
The Shenmu Sect is located near the Donghua Mountains, so the distance is not far away. It took Jing Aoxue only one day to reach the town where the Shenmu Sect is located.
After entering the city gate, she looked at the majestic mountain gate in the distance, and planned to seek help from the Rendan Palace branch first.
The influence of Xiaoyao League spreads all over the world of cultivating immortals. Under her management, Rendan Palace has become the palace that earns the most spirit stones in the entire Xiaoyao League, and Jing Aoxue has reduced the difficulty for other Danxiu to enter the Xiaoyao League.
She is also a fourth-rank alchemist of the alchemist guild, and the steward of Qinggang Xiancheng became her subordinate, and all the alchemists introduced to her were high-quality alchemists, so more than ten years have passed, and the scale of Rendan Palace has also expanded several times. times.
Even the branches are open everywhere. The branch of Rendan Palace has two main tasks. One is to collect information and set up an underground intelligence department. The other is to sell pills, which can be credited. Immortal world became famous.
Today, under the joint cooperation of An Qing and Wei Xing, everything is going smoothly.
Jing Aoxue asked a passer-by monk about the location of the Rendan Palace branch, and walked towards the Rendan Palace branch.
After arriving at the place, she handed over the jade plaque of her Vice-Honored Master, the steward was startled, and said, "Vice-Honored Master, please sit inside."
Jing Aoxue nodded, and followed him to the backyard of the branch office. The steward knelt down in front of her respectfully, and said, "Besides, Liang Yong, I have met the Vice-Honorable Master."
Jing Aoxue said: "Come on, don't be cautious in front of me. I have come here this time to arrange for you to do something important. I want to sneak into the Shenmu sect. You can find a way to help me."
The steward pondered for a while, and did not ask Jing Aoxue why she wanted to join the Shenmu Sect. Speaking of which, the Shenmu Sect was a competitor with them. The Rendan Palace branch had already suppressed Baicaotang, so that the monks of the Shenmu Sect, who claimed to be decent monks, Although he didn't come to find fault with them, he found them extremely unpleasant.
However, as long as it is a sect, it will not be monolithic. If it is said to sneak into the Shenmu sect, there are many ways.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I wonder when the Vice-Honorable Master plans to enter the Shenmu Sect?"
"The sooner the better, prepare a map for me and tell me the layout near the forbidden area."
This matter is not that simple, but this is the task that Jing Aoxue ordered earlier. The so-called intelligence is of course not just a trivial matter, such as the power and layout of the sect and family, it is also the work that their underground intelligence network needs to collect .
After An Qing took charge of the branch of Rendan Palace in the world of cultivating immortals, he also controlled the intelligence network. He thought that the content covered by the intelligence network was too small, and there were not enough manpower, so he simply targeted the few responsible people in the world of cultivating immortals. Intelligence underground organization.
As long as he is a monk, he will not refuse the temptation of pills. Anqing has the means to not lack money and has mastered higher-level spirit stones. He negotiates with these things, and then separates and annexes other intelligence organizations. With the help of his connections, he can The intelligence network was perfected in just a few years.
The steward said: "Please wait for the vice lord, I will go and finish this matter."
As he spoke, he stepped back and ordered his subordinates to serve tea to Jing Aoxue. Jing Aoxue was anxious in her heart, but she didn't show anything on her face. In the afternoon, the steward came back with a map, a human skin mask, and even a Shenmu sect disciple.
Jing Aoxue looked up and down at the monk wearing the costume of a disciple of the Shenmu Sect, and said, "What's going on?"
The steward stepped forward and respectfully said: "Vice lord, please rest assured, this is a disciple who was placed into the Shenmu Sect by the Rendan Palace a few years ago. His name is Guan Lecheng. Now he is a Jindan monk of the Shenmu Sect. His mother is in the Xiaoyao League. , I am not afraid that he will be detrimental to Xiaoyaomeng, the vice-lord entered the Shenmu sect for the first time, even with the guidance of the map, you will encounter obstacles, as long as you bring him by your side, you can reduce the trouble."
Jing Aoxue narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, and said: "Since it is the manpower arranged by Rendan Palace earlier, don't waste it because of this matter, how about it, Guan Lecheng, prepare a human skin mask of the opponent of the Shenmu sect yourself, and put it on. If you are in trouble, you can also use this to get out."
Guan Lecheng thanked him gratefully, and went down to prepare the human skin mask.
Seeing Jing Aoxue rubbing the mask in his hand, the steward said, "Vice lord, this is a male cultivator's mask. He is an outer disciple of the Shenmu Sect. At that time, he can wear the mask to hide his cultivation and follow behind the monks we arranged. This will not arouse the suspicion of the Shenmu Sect."
Jing Aoxue nodded, and put the human skin mask aside, of course, this is not real human skin, otherwise even Jing Aoxue would not dare to rub it in her hand.
She opened the map, and on the map was the topographic map of the Shenmu Sect, which was drawn extremely finely and completely, but Jing Aoxue searched the entire map, but could not find the existence of the forbidden area, so she couldn't help but look up at the steward.
The steward said hesitantly: "This...the forbidden area of the Shenmu Sect...is just a legend circulated within the Shenmu Sect. Even the monks of the Golden Core Stage don't know it. There are several versions of the legend. Some say it is in the elder peak, and some say it is behind the Shenmu Sect. In the depths of the mountain, some people say that it is in the bedroom where the headmaster is... even the existence of the forbidden area is unknown, so..."
Jing Aoxue looked down at the map again, and after a long time, she said: "I see, you did a good job, this is a bottle of Zhuan Yuan Dan, suitable for your current cultivation."
The steward's eyes lit up, he had heard that the deputy lord was very generous, and now he saw that it was so true, this bottle of Zhuanyuan Dan was specially used for Jindan monks, the price was extremely expensive, even if he was the steward, he would not dare to take it easily Bought for use, it seems that Jing Aoxue is really a good boss who is convincing as everyone said.
Seeing Jing Aoxue bowing her head in thought, he stopped disturbing her, turned around and left quietly.
Jing Aoxue looked at the mountain gate of the Shenmu Sect, and said in her heart: Since Demon Night mentioned the forbidden area of the Shenmu Sect, then this place must exist, but it is not known to the public. Presumably only the elders of the Shenmu Sect, or even the head of the sect, can know this secret , the purpose... should be to protect the World Origin Tree.
Although she had never heard of such a tree, she could think of the function and status of this tree just by hearing the name.
If someone with different intentions found out, then the Shenmu Sect would not know how to make a fuss.
She sighed, for the current plan, she had to enter the Shenmu Sect first, and searched inch by inch.
In the evening of that day, Jing Aoxue changed into Shenmuzong's attire, put on a human skin mask, disguised as an ordinary-looking male cultivator, and followed behind Shenmuzong Jindan monk Guan Lecheng.
Of course, Guan Lecheng also put on another monk's mask, looking a little arrogant and domineering, indeed like an unpopular monk.
They successfully entered the Shenmu Sect, and Guan Lecheng took Jing Aoxue to search nearby.
Because they didn't attract attention, I searched for a few days. Although I didn't find anything, not many monks noticed their abnormality. At most, the acquaintance of the monk came forward and said a few words.
Jing Aoxue once asked, is it okay to use this person's mask?
Guan Lecheng replied that the monk usually had a flamboyant temper and offended many people. Most of the monks in the Shenmu Sect didn't like him, and he couldn't stay in the Shenmu Sect. He left the sect a few years ago, and he didn't know when he would come back. Don't worry.
Now that he said so, Jing Aoxue felt relieved.
A few days later, in a hidden corner, she thought to herself: She has already searched most of the entire Shenmu Sect, leaving only a few places mentioned by the steward that she did not search.
One is the Elder Peak where Yuanying Da Neng lives, and the other is the bedroom where the head of the sect is. These two places are places that ordinary monks cannot step into at all, so they can also be called forbidden places.
There is another place, which is deep in the back mountain of Shenmuzong. This place can be entered, and according to Jing Aoxue's analysis, it is the most likely place, because the world source tree can continuously provide energy for the world of cultivating immortals. grow in the mountains.
There is only one mountain range in the elder peak and the master's bedroom, which doesn't seem to be able to accommodate the forbidden area.
However, this is not certain, the world of cultivating immortals is different from the world of mortals, and cannot be viewed with inherent concepts.
But now, for her, the most convenient place to enter is the back mountain of the Shenmu sect, where any monk of the Shenmu sect can register with a token and enter the back mountain to collect herbs.
Most of the monks of the Shenmu Sect knew that the back mountain was very vast and dangerous, because the back mountain was also a part of the Donghua Mountains. It was only part of the Donghua Mountains that were divided when the Shenmu Sect established the sect.
This is also the case for Xuantianzong and several other large sects. The back mountains are connected to the Donghua Mountains.
Jing Aoxue always felt that the Donghua Mountains were not simple, because the area of this place was too vast. Roughly estimated, these mountains alone could catch up with the area of Lanxing where she lived in her previous life, and there were no people in the Donghua Mountains. , the more this kind of place, the more mysterious and unknown.
When Xiaoshu wakes up, maybe she can take them to the depths of Donghua Mountains.
Jing Aoxue's expression softened, and she said to Guan Lecheng: "I want to enter the back mountain, and I will have nothing to do with you after that. This is the reward, and then we will split up."
As she said that, Jing Aoxue handed over a bottle of elixir. These elixirs were high-quality elixirs that she refined for herself and her family. The impurities in them were extremely rare, and the monks took them without any harm to their bodies. damage, so even ordinary pills can be sold at a high price.
It was enough to thank and reward. Guan Lecheng was in full bloom, nodded his head in a hurry, and retired respectfully.
During the past few days together, he could also see that Jing Aoxue was approachable, but he didn't like others to talk too much, so he didn't do much to keep her, and he didn't even ask to go with her.
There must be a reason why Jing Aoxue sneaked into the Shenmu Sect, and it was also mysterious, so it must not be a trivial matter.
Guan Lecheng has always regarded himself as a disciple of the Xiaoyao League in his heart. Even if Shenmuzong treats him well, Xiaoyaomeng is the place where he grew up. His parents and brothers are all there, so when Jing Aoxue needs it, he can betray Shenmuzong .
Jing Aoxue looked at his receding figure, and after he had gone far, she came out from the secret place and walked towards the palace that needs to be registered when entering the back mountain.
After she registered with the token, without attracting anyone's attention, she casually listened to the steward saying that the back mountain was extremely dangerous. With her current cultivation level of Qi refining stage, she must not cross the third mountain, otherwise it would be considered Even in danger, no one came to rescue him.
Jing Aoxue nodded, and after listening to him, she said goodbye.
She glanced at the emerald green mountains, curled her lips, crossed the target, and walked towards the back mountain.
Along the way, she saw many disciples in the Qi refining stage picking low-level spiritual herbs at the foot of the mountain.
If she traveled to the world of cultivating immortals at the beginning, she might also choose to join the Shenmu sect, and then start as a monk in the Qi refining period.
She smiled, shook her head and stopped thinking about it, and crossed the first mountain range with ease.
There are also stewards in this mountain range, Jing Aoxue avoided them smoothly, and continued to go deep.
After crossing an unknown number of mountains, the surrounding area was dark, with tall trees covering the sky and the sun, mid-level monsters stared at her, but none of them dared to rush up.
Jing Aoxue smiled and continued to walk forward.
Among these mountains, spiritual energy is extremely abundant, and if danger factors are not considered, it is a good place for cultivation.
No wonder the major sects in the world of cultivating immortals have established sects near the Donghua Mountains one after another.
The more she walked in, the more wood elements around her. She rubbed her chin and thought for a moment, thinking: Maybe her previous guess was right. The so-called forbidden area exists to protect the World Origin Tree.
But any tree must grow in a place with abundant aura, and the source tree of the world needs more aura. Only one mountain range, the Elder Peak and the master's bedroom, can't provide the aura needed by the source tree of the world.
It's just... since it is a forbidden area, even if it is unknown and protected by a natural barrier, the Shenmu Sect will not rest assured. Jing Aoxue has a hunch that if she continues walking, she will meet the monk who protects the world's original tree.
But she had no choice but to keep going, and even had to get the core of the World Origin Tree, even if she felt guilty and uneasy, she had to do it.
Sure enough, after walking for a few more hours, the surrounding high-ranking monsters jumped out of their own initiative and grinned at her in a threatening gesture.
Jing Aoxue raised her eyes and said, "Contradictions are irreconcilable, come on."
One step further, the high-level monsters no longer threatened, but changed to vicious attacks.
Jing Aoxue didn't want to cause too much noise, so she used vines to avoid it, and passed the encirclement of high-level monsters at the fastest speed.
This is not easy, each of these high-level monsters has the cultivation base of the golden core stage, it is not difficult for Jing Aoxue to guess, if she continues to go inside, she will also meet the monsters of the Nascent Soul stage.
This may be because the World Origin Tree sensed danger and sent monsters to protect it, or high-level monsters took the initiative to stand up and fight against any evil monks.
Jing Aoxue felt helpless, she was not made of iron, she could only fight and advance like this, it took a few days and suffered injuries all over her body before she finally saw the shadow of the forbidden area.
The so-called forbidden area is located in a canyon deep in the mountains. Below the canyon is a cliff, and in the center is a huge endless tree. The tree covers the sky and the sun, and it stretches for an unknown distance. Jing Aoxue stands in the canyon and looks up. Go, you can only see some branches.
She wanted to go one step further, when dozens of powerful pressures came towards her, Jing Aoxue almost knelt on the ground.
She looked up with difficulty, and saw dozens of Nascent Soul monsters suddenly popping up from the tree. No, with this level of cultivation, these monsters can already transform into monsters.
Jing Aoxue: "..."
She is only at the late stage of Jindan now, so it is impossible for her to defeat dozens of monsters who are staring at her.
She simply sat on the ground and said dejectedly, "Sorry for the trouble."
Hearing the words, the monsters looked at each other and turned into human shapes one after another. A woman in green clothes at the head stepped forward and said, "You...have a familiar aura on you."
Her gentle attitude gave Jing Aoxue a glimmer of hope.
She raised her head and said, "Hello."
The green-clothed demon cultivator smiled, walked around her, and said, "Are you a disciple of the Shenmu Sect? Where did you learn about the existence of the World Origin Tree?"
Jing Aoxue chose between lying and telling the truth. After thinking for a while, she said, "To be honest, I am not a disciple of the Shenmu Sect. The purpose of sneaking in this time is to get the core of the World Origin Tree."
When the words fell to the ground, a rough and wild voice said angrily: "Bastard! How dare you!"
He is obviously a demon cultivator, but he speaks older words than ordinary cultivators.
Jing Aoxue glanced at him and said, "I don't want to deceive you, my daughter..."
She told the truth, and as she spoke, she cursed her own stupidity in her heart. After hearing the words, several demon cultivators tried to kill her several times, but they were all stopped by the female cultivator in green. This also made Jing Aoxue see that The unusualness of the other party's identity came.
After she clarified the ins and outs, the nun in green said: "I understand, it seems that the demonic aura sensed by the mother tree before is not an illusion."
She smiled wryly, looked at the trees covering the sky, and sighed: "It seems that it is destiny."
Jing Aoxue didn't understand what she meant, she said: "I must get the core of the source tree to save my daughter."
The female cultivator in green looked at her with a tilted head, and said with a smile, "Even if the entire world of cultivating immortals will face annihilation because of your actions?"
"..."
This is what Jing Aoxue has been struggling with, if possible, she would not want to.
She rubbed her hair irritably, and said: "If there is another way to avoid doing this, I will definitely not come to pick the core of the World Origin Tree."
The female nun in green said softly: "You are a good person, and I finally understand where the familiarity comes from. You should have the old Xue's jade card on you."
Jing Aoxue was taken aback when she heard the words, and found out from the storage bag the jade card that Mr. Xue gave her when she passed the examination of the fourth-rank alchemist more than ten years ago.
She said: "What's wrong with this jade token?"
The female cultivator in green smiled and said: "It's just God's will. This jade card originally came from the world's source tree, and it has the breath of the source tree on it. If you didn't have this jade card, you would have been killed by a monster long ago." If it is dead, it will not release water, let you come to the source tree."
Sitting next to Jing Aoxue, she sighed: "Besides this forbidden area, there are many difficulties. Because you have passed the examination of the pagoda before, you can pass through those barriers and come here unimpeded."
