Chapter 663: Under the Tree in the Afterlife
The crow took out a stone with a faint purple light from his mustard seeds, put it in his palm and sent it to Zhuge Chen, and said at the same time: "They said that this stone is my guarantee for my future ascension to the sky. I don't know if it's true or not, but every time the purple qi condenses in my qi, I can feel a confidence that I didn't have before. ”
"They?" asked Zhuge Chen, a little puzzled.
The sound in the wind, of course, he also faintly heard it. It's just that what they fancy about a Heavenly Mandate Sword cultivator with limited talent? It seems that as long as they know this, they can solve it.
"Yes, I'm sure, that's them. But I don't know why they left this stone to me. If it's really a good fortune, wouldn't it be better to choose Childe?" Raven shook his head lightly and asked. As the stone was exposed in the Huatian Secret Realm, the purple light formed a line, pulling out a path. It should be guiding the crows deeper into the ruins.
And when the purple light enveloped the crow, she actually seemed to lose her mind, pushed away Zhuge Chen and walked away. White followed her, crossing the edge of the ruins until the raven stopped.
"I didn't think you would have the guts to come along. The crow showed a fierce light, turned around and said to Zhuge Chen. She stretched out her hand, and the withered leaf sword was clenched by her, pointing at Zhuge Chen: "Don't go further inside?"
No matter who the other party is, it will certainly not be a crow. This is the only thing that Zhuge Chen can confirm at present. It seems that the stone is really not as simple as it seems. At least in that purple light, it should be the mysterious qi machine of this ancient battlefield, just to introduce him here.
Zhuge Chen smiled lightly and said, "Do I have the right to refuse?"
"Of course not, how about I kill you and let your qi into it?" the crow said, playing a flashy sword move.
Zhuge Chen smiled and slowly pulled out his rubber pillar sword. He stepped forward, looked at the countless towers beyond the ruins, and said with some absent-mindedness: "You dead people, what you like to do most is to exaggerate. Whether it is to oneself or to others, this may be the obsession before death? After all, if you don't have the strength and don't like to be a man with your tail between your legs, you will indeed die early. It's a pity that the dead can't die anymore, otherwise it will be a relief for you. ”
"Are you looking for death?!" Crow said coldly, forcing Zhuge Chen to step back. She calmed down a little, and then said, "Maybe I can't help you, but the life of the owner of this body is under my control at the moment. If you want her to live, then do what I say, and if you are vicious, killing me now will only be a corpse and two lives. Like you said, I'm dead anyway, would I be afraid to die again?"
"You're right. Zhuge Chen opened his mouth and said, "But why should I believe you?" or rather...... Killing you now is actually the best option. You may not know it, but the most important thing I hate is when someone threatens me. Just like you are now. ”
Zhuge Chen said that, and came to the crow's side with a white horse at great speed, and the flying sword hovered in front of the opponent's chest. It only takes a slight movement of his mind to end the other party's life.
"You can kill me, it doesn't matter. Raven said, "She'll die with me anyway." Or you and I will take a step back, and I will leave her body, and you will walk into the ruins, how about it?"
"Why should I believe you?" Zhuge Chen asked, and at the same time, the sword qi was no longer suppressed by him, and roared out from his big sleeve, surrounding the two of them. And his eyes turned golden again.
"You can trust me. Saying this, the crow's body went weak and collapsed into Zhuge Chen's arms. And in the wind, the voice sounded again: "There is a towering tree in the depths of the ruins, called the afterlife, on which the fruit is crystal clear. All you need to do is pick it and give it to me, and that's it. Don't try to kill me, in this case, this woman will never wake up in her life. Because I am the only one who knows how to use the power of medicine to turn decay into magic. Don't continue to doubt it, it's obviously more credible than those cultivators who have died once like me, isn't it? Not to mention that you and I are taking what we need, and it's an acceptable deal. ”
Zhuge Chen gently placed the crow on the ground, glanced back at the purple stone, and then stepped into the ruins. In the process, his brow tightened, and there was no sign of stretching. He naturally knew that since the ruins were able to stop a Zhen Dao realm sword cultivator, and let the old man in white only dare to cultivate on the edge, it was naturally full of murderous opportunities.
Zhuge Chen crossed a portal, narrowed his eyes, and looked at everything in front of him. In the ruins, a little starlight spread down from the sky, and through the broken dome, Bai Yi felt a familiar atmosphere. The warm feeling enveloped him, as if he had met an old friend.
Even the cold light on the rubber pillar sword became colder and colder, and Zhuge Chen knew in his heart that another more vast heaven and earth above the dome was the heavens. This place may be an opportunity for him to return to his hometown. It's just that this is the way to the sky, although the distance is short, it must be very dangerous.
Zhuge Chen reached out and wanted to catch a ray of starlight. It's just that the starlight suddenly changed into a fierce tiger when it was about to touch him, and it came towards him with a momentum that made people retreat.
This Sky Swallowing Tiger is a remnant of the Divine Beast that cannot exist in the world, even if it is only a trace of his thin bloodline, it can make the demon beast reach the realm of the Ultimate Dao and dominate a mountain forest. But in this ancient battlefield, it's just a little dim starlight. And judging from the armor worn on the tiger's body, in that era, this Sky Swallowing Tiger was likely to be the mount of a top cultivator. Reading Temple
Zhuge Chen threw out a sword qi and at the same time arranged a Xiaolou Heaven and Earth Sword Formation behind him, clenched his fists and pulled out the fist fight, which was a rush but full of divine will of the Ending Mountain Peak Fist. The shattered diagram of the sky slowly emerged behind him, echoing the dome above him. At this moment, the white cloth punched like a god.
Being hit by such a punch to the vital point, even if it is a cultivator of the Zhen Dao realm, as long as it is not a sword cultivator, a boxer, and a cultivator whose physical training far exceeds that of the same realm, he will be killed. But the Sky Swallowing Tiger, which had no body anymore, was unscathed, and it still had the strength to come to Zhuge Chen's side after breaking the fist intent, and it was slapped with the tiger's palm. Its strength is so great that it seems to be able to smash the earth to pieces.
Zhuge Chen jumped into the air, looked at the shattered earth under his feet, and said in a daze: "It's fake, it's just a blow, it has such a might." "Fortunately, he didn't choose to fight hard, otherwise, it is really possible to lose the ability to continue fighting under this blow.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Chen slowly put away his fist, pulled out the rubber pillar sword, and clenched it in his right hand. After all, as a boxer, he is far inferior to sword cultivation.
There was contempt in the eyes of the Sky Swallowing Tiger, after all, his master must have cultivated to the heavens during his lifetime.
"It's just a dead animal, and you dare to look down on others?" Zhuge Chen didn't think he was so angry, but he still came to the side of the Sky Swallowing Tiger with the help of the sword qi, and while handing out the sword, he didn't forget to pull the other party into his own small world.
With this sword, the injury of the Sky Swallowing Tiger was not very serious. But when the beast opened its eyes again, it found that all it could see was white. And each one is different, but each one makes him feel extremely dangerous. Its intelligence was not very outstanding, but it was naturally panicked at the moment.
And at this moment, Zhuge Chen seized the opportunity. The two peaks of Kunlun and Mount Tai circled and pressed, pressing the Sky Swallowing Tiger and unable to move. And Zhuge Chen slowly landed beside it, lifted the tiger's head vigorously, and said: "Isn't it quite spirited, why is it in a situation where you can be slaughtered by others now?" Don't worry, you have to let me think about where to cut it off, right?"
Zhuge Chen said with a smile, and at the same time put the rubber pillar sword across the head of the Sky Swallowing Tiger, stabbing it hard, only to hear a roar.
But even so, the Sky Eater is still not really dead. There is still residual breath in the throat, and it may fight back at any time. It's just that for Zhuge Chen, who has already been perceived, it is nothing more than another sword matter.
Putting the sword into the sheath and looking at the dying Sky Swallowing Tiger, Zhuge Chen breathed a sigh of relief. But he knew how dangerous it was in the ruins. Even if he is now in the realm of real bamboo basket water, it will be difficult. It is impossible to be chic in the sword.
In fact, when Zhuge Chen walked in along the broken wall, he had already found that there was a towering tree planted in the courtyard not far away. Although the distance was short, he walked very carefully. It's like don't touch those starlights, try to avoid them. For fear that another Sky Swallowing Tiger would emerge and stop him in the way he must go.
According to Zhuge Chen's guess, these starlights all contain a wisp of qi, and they are from the origin of the cultivators who died here. Once triggered, the evolution can be at least equivalent to 30% of the strength before death.
And the root cause of all this is on that afterlife tree.
For this towering tree, Zhuge Chen has heard of it. It is rumored that in every era, there is a tree in this tree, and the nourishment is the way of heaven, which has gone beyond the category of heaven and earth. Over time, counting the heavens, there should be more than five plants. This is only recorded in ancient books, counting those lost eras, it should be more. It's just that what Zhuge Chen didn't expect was that in this ruin, there actually existed. Then if you say that the greatest blessing of the entire Huatian Secret Realm, it is none other than this.
For the fruits on the tree, Zhuge Chen was not interested. He didn't believe in the so-called past and present lives, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten closer to Taoism. In fact, this is the case with all sword cultivation, which can explain why the sword cultivation of the Buddha Sect is the rarest.
Beyond those starlights, Zhuge Chen almost touched it again. Fortunately, it was necessary to stop in time and retract your body, otherwise it is very likely that there will be another big battle here. Stabilize his mind, and come to the tree of the afterlife in white. Raising his head, he watched the wisps of Heavenly Dao Qi float around, obscuring his vision like a mist.
Zhuge Chen wanted to grasp a wisp of Heavenly Dao Qi in his hand, but after weighing the pros and cons, he still didn't do so, for fear of disturbing something. At this moment, he is a soldier. After all, in a huge ancient battlefield, it is difficult to predict what will happen. If it happened that he was extremely lucky, and he encountered the fight between the two top cultivators of the ancient battlefield again, then he would have to flee for the road.
Just as he was about to pick the fruit and return the way he came, he heard a loud noise behind him. A breath of qi knocked him to the ground, flying sand and rocks around him, and the heavens and the earth seemed to change color.
Zhuge Chen raised his head and stood up against the strong wind, like a crumbling high-rise building.
