Shi Jian lightly danced the Seven Star Glaive Knife, bringing gusts of wind and thunder, and the momentum was terrifying. Imbued with spiritual power and thunder yuan power, the divine sword can carry and release its power amplification.

It is said to be a magic weapon, and there is no magic weapon that can compare to it. It is said that it is a magic weapon, and it is completely integrated, and if the spiritual sense cannot be detected, it will not be able to lay the mark of spiritual consciousness, and it will be completely refined into a thing, and it can be collected and released freely.

Shi Jian's knowledge was limited, and he really couldn't tell what level of magic weapon the Seven Star Glaive Knife belonged to, and he felt that it was not much worse than the Splendid Dust of the Maoshan Sect and the Heavenly Master Sword of Dragon and Tiger Mountain.

"Uncle Jian, can you play tricks on me?" Yu Dachu said itchingly.

"Let's play with it."

Shi Jian casually threw it to Yu Dachu, Yu Dachu had a little difficulty catching both hands, and hurriedly called Ma Xiaohai for help, and only with the strength of the two of them could he barely lift it, but he couldn't swing the knife with one arm like Shi Jian did just now.

The magic knife is a bit snobbish and sees people cooking.

Any pure male can pick it up, but everyone uses it to exert great and small power.

The old man looked at the five people who were playing with the Seven Star Glaive Knife, relieved and lonely, and without saying a word, he walked towards the indoor door.

"Seniors stay." Shi Jian shouted.

"Now that you've got the Divine Sword, what else do you have to say?"

Shi Jian asked: "The predecessor guardian sword is waiting for someone who is destined, now that the merit is complete, what are your plans for the future?" ”

"I didn't have a plan, and I didn't need to plan it."

"I don't understand."

The old man glanced at Shi Jian and said, "The Divine Sword must not leave the Outer Heaven Cave, because once the Divine Sword leaves, this domain will disappear at an accelerated pace." Just now, you used the thunder method to shake the divine sword, and the divine knife left the knife holder, which has already destroyed the core prohibition of the domain, and in another three months, the domain will merge into time and space and cease to exist. Go quickly, you won't be able to leave when it's too late. ”

"Aren't you leaving?"

The old man said bitterly, "I can't leave." ”

"Why is that?"

"My life is connected with the sacred tree in the domain, and if I stay in the domain, I can still survive. If I leave the domain, or if the domain disappears, I will die. What you see now is that I have lost most of my life, and I used to be several times more powerful than I am now. ”

Hearing the old man's words, Shi Jian's eyes flashed, the other party was several times more powerful than now before, and he was definitely a first-class existence of a real person, and I am afraid that it is not a mediocre hand among the real people. If you can subdue it, it will be a big help.

"Is there no other way?" Shi Jian asked unrelentingly.

The old man shook his head, "Your divine soul is very strong, but your cultivation is too weak, even if you break through a realm, you can't help me, unless Zhang Tianshi comes to the Outer Heavenly Cave again." ”

"Again?" Shi Jian raised his eyebrows, looked at the old man with burning eyes, and asked, "Senior, the Old Ancestor Heavenly Master has been to the Outer Heavenly Cave before?" ”

"Old Ancestor Heavenly Master?"

"If the Zhang Tianshi mentioned by the predecessors is the same person as the Zhang Tianshi I know, the title of Zhang Tianshi belongs to the Heavenly Court Immortal Position, and the Ancestor Heavenly Master is the honorific title of our juniors for him."

The old man said happily: "Are you the descendant of Zhang Tianshi?" ”

Shi Jian was surprised, "Haven't you heard of the Maoshan faction before?" ”

The old man replied, "Someone has come in the Outer Heaven Cave, but I have never left the Outer Heaven Cave Outer Cave. ”

Shi Jian showed a thoughtful expression, in this way, the news of the Outer Heavenly Cave and the Seven Star Glaive Sword was propagated by Zhang Tianshi.

"Senior, when did the Ancestor Heavenly Master come?"

The old man recounted: "I can't remember clearly, anyway, it was a long time ago, when I was still a parasitic vine, Zhang Tianshi suddenly descended to the outer cave of the Tianwai Tiandong, lit it to me, and ordered me to guard the Seven Star Glaive Knife and wait for someone destined to arrive." ”

In the original play, the real owner of the Seven Star Glaive Knife is Mao Xiaofang, that is to say, a long, long time ago, Zhang Tianshi counted this day, but I don't know if his arrangement was intentional or unintentional.

Shi Jian was suddenly a little worried, he took the Seven Star Glaive Knife that Zhang Tianshi gave to Mao Xiaofang, was it really okay?

He is a Daomen patriarch, one of the four heavenly masters of the Heavenly Court, and the Sanmao patriarch may not be able to cover him. Of course, it is unlikely that the Old Ancestor Heavenly Master will find trouble with the juniors.

After settling down, Shi Jian told Zhang Tianshi about the origin of the Maoshan faction, and asked a key question: "Just now the seniors said that your life is connected with the divine tree in the domain, cut off this connection, can the seniors survive?" ”

The old man said uncertainly: "My current body is formed by a part of the body, and I will be very dangerous if I rely on the body to survive and cut off the life connection with the body." If I can have a vigorous spiritual plant for me to shelter in, I should be able to survive, but my vitality is greatly damaged, and there is not one in ten Taoist deeds. ”

"Spirit Plant?" Shi Jian's face was strange, and he felt that it was too coincidental, there happened to be an ice crystal spirit fruit tree in the spirit house.

Is this all in Zhang Tianshi's calculations?

Looking at the silent Shi Jian and the bewildered Ma Xiaohai, the old man smiled freely, he knew his end a long time ago, so when Shi Jian and the five entered the outer cave of the Tianwai Tiandong, he was ready to meet death.

"Senpai."

Shi Jian called out to the old man again.

"Last question, will there be any damage to the spirit plant you are holding?"

The other party got the Seven Star Glaive Knife, and he also had a relationship with Zhang Tianshi, the old man stopped and patiently explained: "Spirit plants belong to the treasure of heaven and earth, and they are born with unique talents, but not all spirit plants can open their spiritual wisdom and cultivate their shapes, but because of their preciousness, they are more likely to cause calamity." I use the true spirit to send it, which is equivalent to borrowing rebirth, and the spirit plant will be greatly damaged in the short term, which is a good thing in the long run, because the spirit plant is me, I am the spirit plant, and I can cultivate independently. ”

As he spoke, the old man suddenly reacted and asked in surprise and joy, "Do you have a spirit plant?" ”

Shi Jian nodded hesitantly and said, "I do have a spirit plant, and I really want to help my seniors. But firstly, I have nothing to do with my predecessors, and secondly, I am a very controlling person......"

The old man regained his composure and said in a deep voice, "Do you want me to recognize you as the Lord?" ”

"I need a condition, that's all."

The old man's face changed and he was silent.

"Senior, I'll send the four children out first, and I'll come back in a few days......"

"Wait." The old man looked at Shi Jian and said, "There is no danger in the outer cave outside the Heavenly Cave, just leave by themselves." You stay, and I'll give you a creation. ”

Shi Jian said with interest: "What kind of creation? ”

"A large amount of wood vitality and a chance to comprehend under the Divine Tree of Life."

Shi Jian was first surprised, and then ecstatic, his Wood Movement Method had been cultivated to the extent that he could condense the Magic Jar, but no one would think that the Wood Yuan Qi was too much, supplemented by the Great Five Elements Rotation Formation Method, he could completely transform the Wood Yuan Qi into other Five Elements Yuan Qi. As for the opportunity to comprehend under the Divine Tree of Life, Shi Jian couldn't understand it, but he was shocked.

Ma Xiaohai, Yu Dachu, Shu Ning, and Lei Xiu were brought into the Outer Cave by Shi Jian, and he had the responsibility to ensure their safety, what the old man said was one thing, and what Shi Jian did was another.

secretly sent a corpse to escort the four people to the exit and return, while Shi Jian stayed. The old man noticed Shi Jian's small movements, didn't say anything, and led him to the door of the room.

Separated by a wall, it is like two worlds.

Shi Jian's eyes were glazed, and he was shocked by the scene in front of him. I saw hundreds of acres of wide flat, the giant tree towered, high and the sky, more than ten zhang from the ground more than the branches of the branch angry, dense green leaves, layer upon layer, I don't know how many layers were stacked, covering hundreds of acres of range, there is no light under the tree, only the giant tree can not shade the place where the sun shines down.

"This ...... This is the Sacred Tree of Life? Shi Jian was dumbfounded and said, "Miracle! It's a miracle of life! ”

The old man agreed: "It is indeed a miracle, but this miracle is already dying. Let's take a closer look. ”

Walking through the light area and into the shade of the trees, the light immediately dimmed, and the further you went inside, the dimmer the light became. When he got to the tree trunk, there was not much difference from Xuanye, and Shi Jian had to throw out more than a dozen fireball talismans to illuminate it.

The trunk of the Tree of Life is as thick as a dozen hugs, and the surface is covered with countless parasitic plants, with a wide variety, from the bottom to the top, large and small, I am afraid that there are no less than 100,000 species. But sadly, these parasitic plants have withered.

"That's who I am!" The old man said, pointing to a vine.

Shi Jian looked along, and sure enough, he saw a bucket-thick dry cracked vine, winding around the trunk and winding upward, as high as the Divine Tree of Life. This vine is like a rope tied to a person's body, which has been strung into the flesh, and for thousands of years, it has been indistinguishable from each other.

The old man sighed: "Once upon a time, the Sacred Tree of Life was a paradise of parasitic plants, and it used its body to nourish thousands of parasitic plants, including me. It's a pity that heaven and earth have longevity, life is endless, and the Divine Tree of Life can't avoid the catastrophe of life and death. Unable to absorb enough energy, it began to devour the life of the parasitic plant, and this is how I was forced to merge with it, as it decayed day by day. ”

After a pause, he turned his head and asked Shi Jian, "Don't you think it's strange, I said that I would give you a piece of creation, but after coming here, I found that Mu Yuan Qi was very little?" ”

Shi Jian shook his head and said, "It's not strange, I know where Mu Yuanqi is. ”

"That's good." The old man was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "What's the name of the spirit plant in your hand?" ”

"Ice Crystal Spirit Fruit."

The old man frowned and said, "Ice Attribute Spirit Plant? ”

"Can't you?"

The old man sighed and said: "The spirit plant of the same attribute is the best, followed by the water attribute spirit plant, and the ice attribute spirit plant is not impossible, but it is too out of the way, and it needs to be fused and transformed, and the damage to the spirit plant may be relatively large." ”

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian said solemnly: "Senior, I am willing to help you, the premise is that my interests will not be greatly damaged, the Ice Crystal Spirit Fruit Tree has borne fruit, and the fruit is the key to my enlightenment, and there is no room for loss." ”

"The spirit plant has borne fruit?" The old man asked in surprise.

"Yes."

"Do you have any seeds, show them to me."

Shi Jian took out a fruit core from the Qiankun bag, the old man snatched it, looked over and over again, smiled and said continuously: "Yes, yes, the vitality is strong, and it is more unique than ordinary spirit plants." ”

"Senior ......"

The old man waved his hand and said: "You don't need to call me a senior, I parasitize on the sacred tree, in the name of wood, you can call me Mu Lao or Lao Mu." ”

"Mu Lao, have you thought it through?"

Mu Lao grabbed the core of the fruit and said to Shi Jian: "To tell you the truth, no matter whether it is a spiritual plant or a seed, my body and Taoism will not be able to be saved, if I don't cultivate the true spirit, I won't even have your life." ”

The word 'True Spirit' involved Shi Jian's blind spot in knowledge, and he humbly asked: "Mu Lao, I have a limited understanding of True Spirit, can you elaborate on it." ”

Mu Lao smiled: "Actually, I won't say it, I'll know when you reach the next realm of cultivation." The true spirit is the original energy of the soul, and every soul has a true spirit, but the strength is different. ”

"Ordinary souls, true spirits are very weak, almost as fragile as souls, and when the soul is scattered, the true spirit will also be destroyed. And after cultivating to a certain level, the true spirit can be immortal. ”

"True Spirits Are Immortal?" Shi Jian looked shocked.

"The so-called immortality is not what you think, but relatively. When the soul of ordinary people is annihilated, so will the true spirit. When I reach the realm before me, the true spirit will become strong, and the soul will perish but the true spirit will not be destroyed. True spirits carry the memories of the practitioner during his lifetime, the comprehension of the Dao, or wandering between heaven and earth, or possessing a person's soul, or possessing a beast of plants, trees, and beasts, and after a long period of practice, they can return again. ”

Shi Jian was puzzled and said: "Since the true spirit is immortal, Mu Lao can completely abandon his body and leave the outer cave of the heavenly cave." ”

Mu Lao said angrily: "How can it be as simple as you say, the true spirit is immortal, it does not mean that it will not be destroyed." With my cultivation and maintaining the state of true spirit, you can be blasted into powder with one punch. A gust of wind, a rain, a flash of lightning can all be damaged, and running out recklessly is no different from looking for death. So you don't have to worry about me being a customer. ”

Shi Jian smiled: "It's better to have insurance than nothing." ”

"You're being too careful." Mu Lao was speechless, pondered for a moment, seemed to have made a decision, looked at Shi Jian and said: "You are the junior of Zhang Tianshi, and I don't have much choice, since you can't trust me, I can recognize you as the master, and let go of your soul, so that you can leave a ban on my true spirit." But I have two conditions, first, I won't help you do anything hurtful. Second, you must do your best to help me regain my strength. ”

Shi Jian said briskly: "No problem. ”

"I hope I'm right, come on."

After leaving a spiritual sense ban on Mu Lao's true spirit, Shi Jian could clearly perceive Mu Lao's kindness and malice towards him, and he could vaguely know what the other party was thinking, and his true spirit could be destroyed at any time with a single thought.

With this layer of insurance, Shi Jian was much more relieved, and he didn't waste time, summoning the Bliss Spirit House, cutting through the dead skin of the Life God Tree, and wantonly absorbing the wood vitality.

Then he found a place, sat on the futon, his eyes closed, his mind empty, and tried to communicate with the Divine Tree of Life using the method taught by Mu Lao, as for what he could comprehend, it all depended on Shi Jian's own creation.

The Tree of Life is a different species, but like most plants, it does not have spiritual intelligence, but as a life between heaven and earth, it has its own creation.

What Shi Jian saw was its experience at some point in the past, when it was still a real tree of life, with surging vitality, which could be called the cradle of life. A seed that falls on it can grow into a towering tree. Under the scales of the iron trunk, the wood vitality was like a river, surging along the trunk of the tree to other places.

The majestic and extremely rich wood yuan qi seemed to attract the wood yuan power in Shi Jian's body, and a faint blue light appeared on the skin, and the wood yuan power also flowed slowly like the wood yuan qi in the trunk.

Mu Lao was dumbfounded, "You have a comprehension so soon?" ”

"This kid's talent is really terrifying!"
