Chapter 359 Bodhi Ancient Cave
Even Dao realm powerhouses can't shake Tongtian Mountain, this is not a lie. A long time ago, there was a Dao realm powerhouse who tried it, and it turned out that Tongtian Mountain was indeed unshakable.
There were also several earth-shattering battles in Tongtian Mountain, shattering thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but the body of Tongtian Mountain was not too damaged, and it was immortal after thousands of catastrophes, which was amazing.
Many people felt very strange, how could this dead thing of Tongtian Mountain be able to resist the power of the Dao Realm, and how could it remain immortal and incorruptible in the shocking war?
You must know that the powerful people of the Dao Realm are almost equivalent to the true immortals in the sky, moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, picking stars and catching the moon, they are simply omnipotent, and as a result, they will return in front of Tongtian Mountain.
In response to this question, many people have put forward conjectures.
Some people say that this is because the mountain has a spirit, and has given birth to its own mountain god who can protect itself.
Some people also say that this is the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor who has laid out a peerless array here, guarding this ancient sacred mountain.
There is even an even bolder rumor that the Tongtian Mountains are actually the result of a section of the trunk of the World Tree. With the trunk of the world tree as the backbone of the mountain, and the outside is covered with a thick layer of rocky soil, this is the ancient god mountain.
Not to mention how absurd this rumor is, on the surface, Mount Tongtian really looks a bit like a tree trunk, the mountain is extremely steep, but the top of the mountain is unusually flat, like a cylinder, isn't it the shape of a tree trunk?
If Mount Tongtian was really the result of a single trunk of the World Tree, it would be hard to imagine how huge the body of the World Tree was in ancient times.
"I don't even know if the World Tree exists, this rumor is indeed absurd enough. Li Qing whispered.
It's not that the world doesn't believe this rumor, it's because the World Tree is so old that no living creature has ever seen it, and it's almost impossible to confirm its existence.
Legend has it that it was the first creature born between heaven and earth, and later died in response to the catastrophe and turned into seven seeds, which is the origin of the Seven Divine Trees.
When the World Tree was calamity, even the three ancient heavenly demons had not yet been born.
You must know that the three heavenly demons were bred by the Demon Ancestor Tree, and the Demon Ancestor Tree is one of the descendants of the World Tree, so you can imagine how ancient the World Tree is.
There is no indication that the World Tree ever existed, and perhaps this is just a bold conjecture that can never be confirmed.
"Forget it, what do I want to do so much?" Li Qing shook his head boredly.
He wandered around and entered the Bodhi Monastery. This is a very ancient courtyard, where the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor once listened to the sermon and embarked on the path of cultivation. It can be guessed that this courtyard should have been built at least in the last years of antiquity, and it is a miracle that it has been well preserved to the present.
It was empty, there was nothing, not to mention any treasures or anything like that, and even the plaque on the door had been removed.
Everything was looted, and it was impossible to hide any treasures, and since Li Qing knew this, he didn't deliberately force him to find treasures.
It was covered with dust. Li Qing entered it and felt an aura of decay of time, there was already an empty shell left here, which could collapse at any time.
In the center of the temple is a large hall, which is not very wide, and the decoration is very simple, and the appearance is not amazing.
Li Qing entered the main hall, and as he expected, nothing was left inside. To be precise, it is not completely empty, the only thing that exists is a stone platform at the head of the temple.
He guessed that this stone platform should be used to place the tablet or statue of the ancestor or something, which was connected to the main hall and could not be moved.
The tablets and statues were removed, and only this bare stone platform remained here for endless years.
"Take a break here. Li Qing sat down unhurriedly, feeling an aura of tranquility in the hall. After staying here for a long time, the whole person calmed down.
At this moment, he felt that something seemed to be moving inside his spatial ring.
"Huh, what's the situation?"
Li Qing took out the strange thing and found that it was the stone egg, which was tightly attached to a piece of wood at this time.
This piece of wood is the heart of the Demon Ancestor Tree.
"How is it possible that this stone egg has come back to life?" Li Qing's eyes widened, feeling incredible.
At this time, the heart of the Demon Ancestor Tree was lit up slightly, exuding a mysterious power, which was instilled into the stone egg, and the breath of life in the stone egg actually increased slightly.
"It's really alive! Although it only adds a trace of life breath, but if it continues like this, sooner or later this stone egg can be saved. Li Qing couldn't help but sigh at the magic of creation.
An ancient stone egg, almost a fossil, can be resurrected? If you don't see it with your own eyes, no one can believe it.
Under normal circumstances, this stone egg is indeed hopeless, although there is still a trace of life breath, but it is not enough to revive it.
But I didn't expect that with the help of the Demon Ancestor Shuxin, the stone egg miraculously came back to life, which is the magic of creation. Nothing is impossible!
This piece of tree heart is truly extraordinary! It has such an effect.
The Demon Ancestor Tree is a very magical ancient tree, even the three ancient Heavenly Demons were bred by it, so you can imagine how powerful its effect on demon beasts is. Now that its heart of the tree saved a demon beast's egg, it didn't seem to be such an unacceptable thing.
"This stone egg is obviously a very ancient creature, I don't know what kind it is, should I revive it?" Li Qing hesitated.
As the so-called non-self race, their hearts will be different. This stone egg is a mysterious demon beast, and it is difficult to say whether it will rebel after it becomes stronger. If this fuels the power of the demon beast, then he will become a sinner.
"Forget it, save it, observe it for a while, and if this monster is in danger, strangle it in the cradle. Li Qing made up his mind.
Seeing that this stone egg was tightly attached to the heart of the Demon Ancestor Tree, Li Qing was about to put these two things back into the space ring together, but at this moment, another change occurred.
This Demon Ancestor Tree Heart was unexpectedly out of control, shining brightly, floating in mid-air, beating like a heart, as if it was faintly sensing some mysterious creature underground.
Then, a burst of light erupted from the center of the tree, shining on the stone platform, and I saw that the stone platform automatically cracked and split into two halves, revealing a black passage.
"What's the situation?" Li Qing was startled, and guessed in his heart: "Could this be some kind of chance?
This ancient courtyard has been abandoned for so long, there shouldn't be much danger, Li Qing couldn't bear his patience and curiosity, and decided to enter the passage to see what the situation was.
He put the Demon Ancestor Tree Heart and the stone egg into the spatial ring, and then entered the pitch-black passage.
The stone platform was closed, the passage was closed, and calm was restored to the place, without alarming anyone, and no one knew what was going on here.
Li Qing released his divine sense and cautiously walked inside along the passage.
The passage is very long, and it slopes downward, probably deep underground.
After walking for half a day, Li Qing felt that the pressure in front of him was getting bigger and bigger, and this pressure was not to suppress people, but to push people out.
Li Qing withstood this pressure and relied on his own brute strength to force forward.
Soon, he encountered a pale green reticle in front of him. There is a faint coercion emanating from this light mask, which makes people can't help but bow and worship, as if they are visiting their ancestors.
"What a magical light mask, how do you get through?"
Li Qing was very cautious, and threw a stone from afar, which was bounced away by the light mask, and there was no other abnormal situation.
It doesn't look like there's any danger.
Since he didn't know the way to open the light mask, he didn't bother to waste time, and planned to blast it open directly with brute force.
A punch blasted out and hit the light mask, Li Qing's body shook, and he was counterattacked by a huge force, and then the whole person flew upside down.
The light mask was like a calm lake, without the slightest fluctuation, as if the punch just now had no effect on it at all.
"It's such a terrible light mask! There is not even a trace of fluctuation! The gap is too big!" Although Li Qing was not injured, he knew that there was no way to take this light mask with his own strength.
Could it be that the light shield laid by the Dao Realm powerhouse could not be successful? Otherwise, how could it be so powerful!
Since you have come here, of course, you can't give up halfway and return empty. You have to find a way to open this mask, otherwise you won't be able to get through.
"Do you want to split it with the Heavenly Knife?" Li Qing thought for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
"By the way, Demon Ancestor Tree Heart, why did I forget this thing?"
He hurriedly took out the heart of the tree and spewed out a burst of light that shone on the light mask. To his surprise, the mask melted immediately, creating a portal for one person to enter.
Li Qing entered through this portal, and the light mask quickly healed again.
Li Qing continued to walk forward, holding the Demon Ancestor Tree Heart in his hand, and the pressure in front of him actually disappeared, this Tree Heart seemed to be a pass here, which could make people unimpeded.
I don't know what the heart of the tree has to do with this ancient cave, which can not only open the light mask, but also eliminate the pressure.
He could feel that the heart of the tree was faintly trembling, and it could even be said that he was a little excited. Even if you can't understand the emotions of the tree heart, you can still feel that there is a feeling of a wanderer returning home.
A second light mask appeared in front of him again, and Li Qing opened a portal with the heart of the tree and entered it.
Without a hitch!
In the next trip, Li Qing encountered seven layers of green light masks, all of which were opened with the heart of the tree before he could enter.
"This defense is really tight enough! I don't know what precious things are inside!" Li Qing looked forward to it more and more.
