Chapter 87 The Tree of Enlightenment
The bells and spirits of Changsheng Mountain are beautiful, and the aura is permeating, like a fairy cave, filled with auspicious colors, clouds and mists rising, very peaceful.
However, the back mountain is another scene.
In this huge valley, there are jagged rocks everywhere, the land is gray and black, no flowers, plants and trees survive, and there is almost no trace of spiritual energy.
It seems that the back mountain, which is dozens of miles in radius, has become a dead land.
This is what Ling Xiao saw when he came to the back mountain.
The gravel under his feet creaked, Ling Xiao's eyes were full of contemplation, as if he had thought of something a long time ago.
The atmosphere was a little depressing. Seeing that Ling Xiao didn't speak, neither did Liu Chuanxiong and the three of them. They followed Ling Xiao towards the back of the mountain.
Ling Xiao silently circled the back mountain in a radius of dozens of miles, and the faint breath of life before appeared faintly.
Ling Xiao walked slowly, as if very casual, and finally he stood in front of a huge bluestone, pointed at the bluestone and said, "Move it away!"
Liu Chuanxiong and Gu Zhong were taken aback for a moment, but they both acted without hesitation.
This huge piece of bluestone is as tall as several people and weighs several hundred thousand kilograms. Liu Chuanxiong and Gu Zhong were unable to move it.
Boom!
They punched decisively, and the violent power burst out. After dozens of punches, the bluestone was smashed by them.
They moved the huge bluestone away, revealing a small depression.
In the center of the depression, there is a seedling that is about an inch high and has only three leaves. It looks green and full of vitality.
"Huh? There is no grass in the back mountain, it is a dead place. There is a seedling growing here?"
Wang Han also discovered this seedling, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
This seedling looks very ordinary, and does not have any spiritual energy, but it is still very strange to appear in this back mountain where no grass grows.
"Sure enough, it's you, the tree of enlightenment!"
Ling Xiao sighed softly, with surprise and a hint of sadness in his eyes.
It was the first time the three of Liu Chuanxiong heard the name of the Taoist tree, and they all showed doubts.
But if it were placed 10,000 years ago, the name of the tree of enlightenment would be known all over the world, even if it was compared to the number one person in the world, the Heaven Swallowing Supreme, it was no different!
Because the tree of enlightenment is the first innate spiritual root of the God of War Continent!
Rumor has it that the Dao Enlightenment Tree was born out of chaos since the beginning of the world. It is older than the God of War Continent, and it is the first innate spiritual root.
Where there is a Dao Enlightenment Tree, there are thousands of miles in a radius of heaven and a blessed land, and the spiritual energy is abundant and unparalleled.
Moreover, cultivating under the enlightenment tree can better understand the laws of heaven and earth, there is almost no bottleneck in cultivation, and cultivation under the enlightenment tree is almost a thousand miles in a day.
Even a pig can become supreme under the tree of enlightenment!
There is even a legend that the enlightenment tree bears fruit every thousand years, and the enlightenment fruit can directly comprehend a martial arts magical power, which is very miraculous.
There are countless benefits of the Dao Enlightenment Tree. It can be said that if you have the Dao Enlightenment Tree, you will have the luck of the entire God of War Continent.
The Dao Enlightenment Tree 10,000 years ago was taken by Ling Xiao in a blood-bathed fight, beheading several supreme powerhouses, snatched from a forbidden area of life, and placed in the gate of longevity.
But at that time, the tree of enlightenment was thousands of zhang high, with luxuriant branches and leaves, like the cover of the sky, turning the entire gate of longevity into a sea of spiritual energy.
It can be said that the Longevity Gate 10,000 years ago was able to become the No. 1 Martial Dao Holy Land in the God of War Continent. Half of the credit was due to Ling Xiao, and the other half was due to the Taoist Enlightenment Tree.
Moreover, the Enlightenment Tree is not only the guardian tree of the longevity gate, but also the entrance to the secret realm of longevity. The secret realm of longevity is a small space opened up by Ling Xiao.
There are countless precious spirit medicines, strange spirit beasts, heaven and earth treasures in it for the disciples of Longevity Sect to enter and experience.
And ten thousand years have passed, not only has the secret realm of longevity disappeared, but the tree of enlightenment has also disappeared without a trace.
Ling Xiao naturally knew that when he was there 10,000 years ago, the world surrendered and the Eight Desolations were respected, so naturally no one dared to attack the Taoist tree.
But after he died, although the Supreme Being Jinse was still in Changshengmen, he did not have the power to subdue the whole world. Those who coveted the tree of enlightenment naturally jumped out!
After Ling Xiao was reborn, he didn't feel the breath of the secret realm of longevity and the tree of enlightenment, and knew that they would have disappeared long ago.
But he didn't expect that under the power of the Wordless Heavenly Book, he could feel the breath of the Taoist tree, and found a seedling of the Taoist tree.
Perhaps this sapling of enlightenment is the seed left after the nirvana of the tree of enlightenment.
By chance, it took root in the gate of longevity.
"The Enlightenment Tree is the guardian tree of my longevity gate. It is the number one spiritual root in the world. It is a treasure that makes countless people jealous. You will know its various benefits in the future. Remember, you must not reveal the slightest bit about the Enlightenment Tree. information!"
Ling Xiao warned Liu Chuanxiong and the others.
"The number one spiritual root in the world?"
Although the three of Liu Chuanxiong didn't know what it meant, they could tell from Ling Xiao's solemn expression that this tree of enlightenment was definitely not ordinary.
"You go and invite the Sect Master and the Great Elder!"
After Ling Xiao gave an order, the three of Liu Chuanxiong left the back mountain and went to the Hall of Longevity.
Ling Xiao squatted down cautiously, and his mental power probed towards the enlightenment sapling.
"kindness?"
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, and he felt that although the breath of life emanating from this Dao enlightenment sapling was extremely pure, it was extremely weak, as if it was a candle in the wind that would go out at any time.
This is clearly a sign of congenital insufficiency.
The Enlightenment Tree is the number one spiritual root in the world, and the environment it grows in is extremely harsh. If it wasn't for this place where the Enlightenment Tree grew, leaving a trace of pure life, I'm afraid the Enlightenment sapling would have died long ago.
The reason why this area of dozens of miles has turned into a dead place is because the enlightenment saplings have extracted the surrounding vitality.
But even so, it is only barely maintained. If no measures are taken, the enlightenment sapling will die completely in a few months.
"Looks like it's going to refine the Heaven-defying liquid!"
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, and he made a decision in his heart.
Not long after, two rumblings of breaking wind came, and Nangong Xuan and the Great Elder came together.
"Ling Xiao, what's the matter with you looking for our two old men?"
Nangong Xuan smiled slightly, his eyes full of curiosity.
Listening to the tone of Liu Chuanxiong and the others, Ling Xiao seemed to have something very important to do with them.
"You know what it is?"
Ling Xiao didn't look up, still looking at the Dao Enlightenment Tree and said slowly.
"This is... eh? The barren land in the back mountain actually gave birth to a seedling? Holy Son, is there something strange about this seedling?"
The first elder also let out a small snort, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"It's called the Dao Enlightenment Tree. Ten thousand years ago, it was the guardian tree of my Longevity Sect..."
Ling Xiao's voice was very calm, and he slowly explained the origin of the Taoist tree.
By the time Ling Xiao finished speaking, Nangong Xuan and the Great Elder were already stunned.
The two people's hearts were filled with huge waves, and they were extremely shocked. At this moment, the eyes that looked at the enlightened saplings were like a wolf that was about to starve to death, and their eyes were unwilling to move.
