Chapter 20: A Difficult Choice
As soon as this idea appeared, it spread like a weed, and it was impossible to stop it.
I stayed in this hollow for three days, and I froze.
Cultivation is not a person who dreams of locking himself in his home for 20 years and then going out to be invincible in the world will always be an otaku, and he will even be out of touch with society.
I have seen the power of the Excalibur Thunder Channeling Technique, I have seen it with my own eyes.
To this day, when I close my eyes, I can still recall the long series of terrifying swaying electric lights in the sky, and the dense falling power grid.
The Yin God Dragon Ring, which once provoked all of us to fly, was chopped to death by a heavy thunderbolt.
Lei Fa is one of the most powerful and quintessential of the many Taoist methods, if I can learn the Divine Sword Guiding Thunder Technique, I finally have a means of life.
In the future, even if you meet an opponent who is much higher than you, you may not be able to fight back.
However, the so-called Divine Sword Lightning Channeling Technique, I must have a suitable long sword, and it must be able to carry the Thunder Method, because after all, I am not a god who shatters the void like the old Taoist, and I can't use my body as an introduction.
Of course, it's not impossible, but if I do this, this method is not called Excalibur Thunder Channeling, but "Shoot at Me".
I don't want to be a martyr if I don't have to.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.
If you want to practice the Divine Sword Lightning Channeling Technique, you must first have a decent sword, a sword with thunder intent hidden in it, and then stimulate the thunder method and provide it for me to drive.
And going to the peak of the Ancient Tree of Life may be able to achieve it.
I sat on the edge of the bed and thought for a quarter of an hour, finally unable to resist the temptation of the Divine Sword Guiding Thunder Technique, and stood up abruptly, and then rushed to the window with one foot, and jumped out.
Pedaling ......
I landed on a thick branch, looked left and right, and then used my hands and feet together, clinging to the branches of the tree, and soon came to the upward road that Yu Qianer had taken me before.
My memory is very clear, so the journey was smooth, except for taking the wrong two circuits, there were not too many twists and turns.
Soon I came to the end where Yu Qianer took me.
Ten meters up, there are clouds.
That's the unknown world.
I took a deep breath and was silent for a few moments before gritting my teeth and starting to climb upwards.
It's not like climbing a tree, because there are countless parasitic vines and branches, so that I can constantly borrow strength, have support points, and it is not so difficult to get all the way over, so my body is still very fast, three or two times, I crossed the thick clouds and appeared on it.
I thought that the tips of the trees above the clouds must also be dense branches, layered on top of each other, but when I actually came up, I realized that it was not what I imagined.
I saw a huge, incomparable tree, with no branches or green leaves, pointing straight into the overcast sky.
If the lower end of the Ancient Tree of Life is like a skyscraper, the tip of the tree above the clouds is like the Eiffel Tower.
What really surprised me was that the top of the tree was so dark that the skin was pitch black.
Some even split out.
I stood on top of a tree that looked like a bridge, looking up at the top of my head that was out of reach, and after a while, I remembered a proverb from my hometown.
A tree that lives for a thousand years will be struck by lightning.
What does that mean?
If a tree lives too long, the heavens are afraid that it will become a spirit and have its own consciousness and destroy the balance, so it will rain down thunder and chop it to death.
Of course, from a scientific point of view, it makes sense that the taller the tree grows, the easier it is to be hit when thunder strikes.
In short, this ancient tree of life has actually been struck by lightning, and it has definitely not been split once or twice.
I felt a minefield that was extremely powerful, above my head.
I didn't dare to go up, because the thunder transmitted from there made people inexplicably feel a lot of fear.
I stood on top of the tree and was silent for a long time, but my mind was pondering the many exquisiteness of making the divine sword when the old Taoist priest passed on my divine sword lightning channeling technique.
Generally speaking, the divine sword of the Excalibur Lightning Channeling Technique is made of lightning strike wood, that is, this kind of tree that has been struck by lightning, and at its core, there will be a core.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and the trees that are generally struck by lightning will be the strongest spiritual tree in this area, it itself has a strong life spiritual power, and the core of the tree is in this tree, which is the most essential part, and the thunder is split, that is, this part.
Thunder and lightning come and go quickly, so the rest of the trees that have been chopped are not used, they are just ashes, but the core of the tree, which contains both the energy of the wood spirit and the method of thunder, is the most suitable for making magic weapons.
In addition to its own material, it is also different because of the number of lightning strikes, from one to nine times, divided into one turn of lightning strike wood to nine turns of lightning strike wood.
The higher you go, the more powerful it gets.
Taoist priests use wooden swords to drive away ghosts and demons, so the miscellaneous trail uses a peachwood sword, which is easy to walk in ancient times when the ban was strict.
However, if there is a ready-made magic sword, take the lightning strike wood to make the scabbard, warm it every day, imperceptibly, and transfer the thunder will, which can also achieve the same effect.
I'm not sure where the core of the thunderbolt tree of the Eiffel Tower is.
But if you want to find it, it's not that difficult.
Because its Qi field will be different from the surrounding ones after all, as long as I go up, I will still be able to find it after all.
Now there are two problems in front of me, the first is safety, if I go up, will I encounter any danger, and how should I face it; The second is that when Yu Qianer was not at home, I secretly came here, and I was ready to take other people's things without telling me, isn't this kind of behavior a bit excessive?
I thought about it for a long time, and finally found a reason to comfort myself.
The lightning strike wood I asked for was nothing more than a wooden block to make a scabbard, which was really nothing to such a huge ancient tree of life, just like when I was a child, I stole money from my father's wallet, and I took three or two cents in a handful of change, and I was never found.
Thinking like this, I didn't hesitate anymore, how can the eldest husband act timidly and cower, how can it be done?
I got into action, a run-up, and then a jump, but I climbed straight onto the trunk of a tree that had been struck by lightning.
There were no branches left here, and there must have been a fire after the lightning strike, which burned all the messy details to ashes, and fell down to the bottom and became fertilizer.
I grabbed the charcoal-like bark with both hands, and as soon as I was about to pinch it, I felt a tingling sensation of electricity reach my hand.
Yes......
I shuddered, and the bark of the tree that my fingers were grasping peeled off the branches and fell down, and I had no choice but to jump back on the branches.
The slight electric shock cleared my mind, and I knew that there was still some thunder left on the trunk, and it was difficult to do anything with the palm of the flesh, and some of the bark had become charred, and there was not much adhesion to the trunk, and with a little force, it was likely to fall off.
In that case, I simply wouldn't have been able to go up.
I thought for a few seconds, took out a piece of clothing from the bag, tore it, wrapped the strip of cloth around my hands, and then carefully examined the black trunk.
Soon, I found an upward path with traces of someone being trodden.
Seeing the traces, it must be Yu Qianer himself, right?
After I decided, I didn't hesitate any longer, and once I ran and jumped, grabbed the bark on that side, and found that it was indeed much more stable, and there was no sign of falling any further.
With the first successful time, I didn't hesitate anymore and continued to climb up, all the way, and after about half an hour, a crack suddenly appeared in front of me.
I felt a warm breath in the cracks, and there was a flow of light.
Without any hesitation, I jumped inside.
When my feet hit the ground, I felt a fresh breath enter my nose and my pores dilated.
It's full of life and makes you feel at home.
In the narrow space, I saw a pillar in front of me that exuded a strong breath of life, and inside the pillar, there seemed to be a little light source, which seemed to be the most magnificent treasure, which made people fascinated.
I glanced at it, and I felt like I couldn't take my eyes out.
Almost instantly, I realized that this stout pillar must be the core of this ancient tree of life, that is, the lightning strike wood I was seeking; Inside, however, there is an even more mysterious existence.
This thing is probably the true meaning that Yu Qianer has guarded here for two hundred years, right?
My heart was pounding.
What can make Yu Qianer guard for two hundred years is definitely a shocking treasure, if I can take it as my own, maybe my cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds, and I will become the kind of peerless master that the worm wants.
At that time, I will be able to step on the colorful auspicious clouds and go back to see her.
I can also help Lu Zuo recover his cultivation, help Xiao Keming return to the position of the head of Maoshan Sect, and even find out what is behind all the conspiracies.
Because at that time, I had power.
I'm sure that the light in the core of this lightning strike wood can give me that great power.
It's just that it belongs to Yu Qianer, should I take it?
I took it, and I gained strength, but I lost my morality.
I shook my head suddenly, and found that there were still a few pieces of wood piled up in front of me, but they were cut from the core of the tree, which should have been made by Yu Qianer.
This thing can also be made into a scabbard, just one, it's enough.
What to do?
