After Granny Hua's words fell, the air in front of her suddenly rippled like water waves, and a whirlpool-like portal slowly emerged.

In an instant, Zhao Xuan's eyes widened, and then he looked at Li Qing.

Li Qing looked at this portal and said with some uncertainty: "This is ...... Secret realm? ”

Granny Hua nodded, holding her crutches with both hands, and said with some sighs: "That's right." This is the gift of the goddess of wisdom to us, and it is also the protection of the sacred tree. ”

"Does this secret realm still have anything to do with the Goddess of Wisdom and the Sacred Tree?" Hearing this, Zhao Xuan asked subconsciously.

"Of course."

Granny Hua smiled and nodded, then turned her head to look at the whirlpool portal and told the legend of the past.

"Legend has it that a long, long time ago, the goddess of wisdom descended into the world, settled here, opened up this secret place with her own hands, and planted a sacred tree."

"Many years later, the goddess left and returned to the divine realm, leaving the sacred tree behind, because of the loss of the power of the goddess, this secret realm continued to collapse, at this time, the sacred tree continued to expand in the secret realm with its root system, until the edge of the collapse of the secret realm, and then used its own strength to maintain the remaining secret realm, and the secret realm was preserved."

"However, as the Sacred Tree survived the Tribulation, the remnants of the Tribulation Thunder infested its body, and the Sacred Tree began to be unable to maintain the secret realm, and if it lost the support of the Sacred Tree, the Valley of Flowers would also be destroyed."

Zhao Xuan and Li Qing glanced at each other, this matter sounded quite mythical, but they couldn't deny the authenticity of this kind of thing, for the mysterious existence of the secret realm, no one could say why it appeared, maybe it was really opened up by the gods?

At this time, Zhao Xuan suddenly frowned, as if he remembered something, and asked curiously: "Granny Hua, since this is a secret realm, why is there a human existence here?" It stands to reason that humans shouldn't be able to discover the existence of the secret realm. ”

Granny Hua suddenly showed a look of gratitude on her face, and said slowly: "So this is thanks to the protection of the holy tree, a long time ago, when the Douluo Continent was in turmoil, the ancestors of my generation took refuge here, and were seen by the holy tree, although the holy tree is a soul beast, but it has a good heart, and it can't bear us to suffer, so let our ancestors live in the secret realm." ”

"By the way, after entering the secret realm later, please don't hurt and disturb the soul beasts in the Valley of Flowers, in addition to us humans, the sacred tree also shelters the soul beast clan. We have lived in peace with them for a long time, and they have long been human, and they will neither harm us nor do us harm. ”

"Since you live peacefully with soul beasts and do not harm each other, where do your soul rings come from?" Li Qing suddenly asked, his eyes with a fierce look.

The sudden oppression caught Granny Flower and the Queen of Flowers off guard, and the two took two steps back, their faces suddenly turning pale.

Zhao Xuan was also vigilant, since he could coexist peacefully with soul beasts, how could he harm soul beasts? It's the same reason that dog lovers don't eat dog meat.

Immediately, he was also suspicious, and his eyes changed when he looked at Granny Flower and the Queen of Flowers.

At this moment, an ethereal old voice suddenly came into the ears of the two of them: "Two human powerhouses, please stop." ”

Zhao Xuan and Li Qing's hearts froze, and the two of them looked at each other and saw the different color in each other's eyes, and it was obvious that both of them heard this voice.

At the same time, Granny Flower and Queen Flower said in the direction of the entrance to the secret realm, "Lord Sacred Tree. ”

"Two human powerhouses, please come in." The voice of the sacred tree followed.

Zhao Xuan couldn't make up his mind in his heart, so he walked up to Li Qing and asked, "Senior, what should we do?" ”

Li Qing pondered for a moment, and then said: "This secret realm doesn't seem to be very stable, I can split a spatial crack with a sword, if there is an accident, you can also use your first soul skill to delay time...... We can go in. ”

Li Qing made up his mind, so the two of them nodded to the flower mother and the pale queen of flowers, and stepped into the secret realm, the Valley of Flowers, under their leadership.

The Secret Realm, the Valley of Flowers.

It is like an island floating in the sky, surrounded by blue sky and white clouds. In front of him is a small green grassland, there are many cultivated fields and neat houses around the grassland, and not far in front of it is a forest, where many plant and beast soul beasts can be faintly seen playing in it.

But the most striking thing is a towering tree in the woods, estimated to be hundreds of meters high, with a tall trunk reaching into the sky, and a huge canopy that covers the sky like a dark cloud.

It's just that this giant tree looks a little miserable, the huge crown has many places as if someone has forcibly ripped off a piece, and it has become mutilated, and there are still patches of scorched black and broken marks on the trunk and branches, and from time to time there are blue-purple thunderbolts flashing at the scorched black marks.

Zhao Xuan and Li Qing's eyes flashed, needless to say, both of them knew that this was the holy tree in Granny Hua's mouth.

After coming to the Valley of Flowers, the Queen of Flowers left on her own, and Granny Hua remained here, and after glancing at the huge giant tree with reverence, she said to the two: "Two, please." ”

The two followed Granny Hua into the woods, and many beast and plant soul beasts in the forest were hiding in the distance, looking at the two curiously.

Li Qing whispered to Zhao Xuan: "There are still many soul beasts with a cultivation level of more than 10,000 years, but they are really quite gentle. ”

Li Qing sighed a little in his heart, it turned out that humans and soul beasts could really live in peace, if he knew that there was a place in the Valley of Flowers when he was in seclusion, he would not have gone to the Star Dou Great Forest, and the soul beast in it was a violent temper even if it was a ten-year-old soul beast.

Gradually, the three of them went deeper and deeper into the woods, and after walking for a short time, they finally came to the foot of the sacred tree.

At this time, the two of them found that there were no plants within a radius of 100 meters at the foot of the holy tree, and the earth was scorched black, and not a single inch of grass was grown, and there were more scorched black traces on the holy tree not far away.

When he came to the foot of the holy tree, Zhao Xuan felt more and more small, this sacred tree was too big, and he had the feeling of facing a skyscraper in his previous life alone.

The sacred tree suddenly trembled, and then a face appeared on the trunk of the giant tree.
