Chapter 20: The Yellow Giant Tree
Abbot Island, surrounded by mountains, among which there are countless jungle shrubs, pines and cypresses, growing all kinds of spiritual flowers and plants, and some rare and exotic beasts running back and forth, frolicking non-stop, even if they meet the stranger of the River Styx, there is no fear to dodge.
"There......"
Styx's eyes shrank slightly, looking into the center of the island, which was shrouded in smoke, hazy, and invisible, and there was a mysterious aura that flowed out, attracting Styx's attention.
"Wow!"
Styx took a step forward, and when he stepped into the smoke, at such a close distance, the smoke could no longer block his vision, and he finally saw clearly that there was a small pool here, emitting three-colored light, very magnificent.
Three-light divine water, this pool of water, is actually three-light divine water, and there are as many as one pool! If this is placed outside, it is Da Luo Jinxian, and he has to work hard for it!
However, even the three-light divine water in this pool, the Styx River did not pay attention at this time, and at this moment, his eyes were completely on a giant tree next to the small pool.
I saw that next to this small pool, a huge yellow tree as high as 10,000 zhang high, covering the sky and the earth, took root here, exuding an incomparably ancient and incomparably heavy atmosphere, and stretched out countless roots, probing into the small pool, absorbing the three-light divine water.
"Hey, that's ...... Huang Zhongli!"
Styx's eyes bloomed with divine light, staring closely at this giant tree, this turned out to be Huang Zhongli! I saw that on this giant tree, there were nine hundred and eighty-one fruits, only the size of a fist, the same color of Xuanhuang, steaming with the glow, it looked mouth-watering.
"Here?"
The River Styx is a little incredible, and Huang Zhongli is the most mysterious of the ten innate spirit roots, because ...... Legend has it that it grows outside the Xuanhuang of heaven and earth, and even with the power of a saint, it cannot be found, and no one has ever seen it.
"Yes, the three islands of Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou are transformed by three chaotic fragments, and they don't belong to the desolate world, which is somewhat consistent. Styx nodded slightly, looking up at the towering giant tree, his eyes still bright.
"Huangzhong Li blooms in 10,000 years, bears fruit in 10,000 years, and matures in another 10,000 years, and there are only nine fruits in 30,000 years. Its flowers are shaped like lotus flowers, and its fruits are shaped like pearls. Flowers and fruits all have the word 'Huangzhong'. ”
Thinking of the description of Huang Zhongli in later generations, Styx couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that this is my chance, the art of cutting cause and effect should be completed here!"
The fruit of this Huangzhong Li is not simple, as long as you take one, mortals can also become immortals, even if it is a quasi-saint like him, you can also use the fragments of the law of heaven and earth contained in the fruit to carry out a great understanding.
"Whoa!"
As soon as Styx raised his hand, the branches and leaves of Huang Zhongli swayed, and the eighty-one fruits turned into streamers and flew down, and he collected them.
Chaos gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to two yi, two yi gives birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip......
Under the Xuanhuang giant tree, the River Styx swallowed a fruit of a yellow plum, and then sat here, his eyes were deep, as if there were immeasurable galaxies flowing in it, and sometimes he showed the truth of the world's birth and death, chaos and nothingness, and the changes were so complex that it was unimaginable, and the breath of all kinds of heaven and earth avenues was permeating!
At this time, above his head, a chaotic Qingyun was in a trance, looking the size of an abbot, but it seemed to contain immeasurable time and space, boundless, and a chaotic bead was also floating in it at this time, exuding a misty light, enveloping the body of the River Styx.
Almost instantly, the River Styx fell into an ethereal, spotless in his heart, as pure as glass, reflecting the mountains and rivers of time and space, the red dust of heaven and earth, and all kinds of things evolved in his heart.
At this moment, his comprehension was raised to an incomparably supreme realm, and his perception of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was improving at an unparalleled speed.
"The past, the present, the future, all kinds of cause and effect must be cut off at once!Otherwise, the cycle of cause and effect, reciprocating and renewing, and slashing continuously, there will be a catastrophe coming!" Styx kept thinking, his body was constantly shaking, and his breath became more and more ethereal, almost inaudible.
A golden bridge spans time and space, connecting the past, present, and future, connecting the three together, and the River Styx stands on it, and the light of the avenue shrouds him, which looks extremely mysterious.
At this time, in front of his eyes, a chaotic vastness was displayed, and the branches of the route were unclear, and branches of the route emerged.
In a trance, Styx's mind seemed to be integrated into the route branches of this path, and in each route branch he saw different scenes, representing his different changes in the afterlife, mortals, monks, emperors, ants, beasts, and even mountains, rivers, grasses, and trees, did not even have self-consciousness, each route was about future changes, and belonged to his future.
Styx is evolving all this with supreme supernatural powers, personally understanding and feeling, his breath is fluctuating, changing, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, changing, and his face is also struggling, as if he has fallen into a catastrophe and cannot extricate himself.
"Will I die? reincarnation?" Styx's voice trembled, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
"No, it can't be, I'm Styx, immortal and immortal, who can kill me?" Styx shouted angrily, breaking away from this state, his eyes shining brightly like never before.
"Wrong, it's all wrong!
Styx laughed and stood up, at this moment, he completely understood, cutting cause and effect, whether it is cutting the cause and effect of the past, cutting the cause and effect of the future, or cutting the cause and effect of the present, there is no difference, the past, the future, and the present, there is no need to separate at all.
"In this life, I will testify to eternity, without past, without future, and ...... No now!"
The River Styx roared, and the scenes that evolved in the void trembled violently, followed by a 'bang', and exploded into nothingness.
"Let's get started, cut off all cause and effect!"
Styx's mind turned, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, and suddenly around him, he manifested a series of crystal silk threads, invisible to the naked eye, only able to sense by divine consciousness, as if there was non-existence, as if there was nothing but nothing, existing between truth and falsehood, this is the cause and effect between him and heaven and earth.
And these are only visible in front of the eyes, in that endless time and space, the past, the future, billions of worlds, the manifestation of the Styx of a venerable being, is also connected by endless threads of cause and effect.
"Karmic fire, burn!"
Hundreds of millions of time and space, countless rivers of Styx shouted in unison, and suddenly one after another red lotus karmic fires burst out on his body, burning fiercely, contaminated with the line of cause and effect, and constantly burning.
I saw that a heavy layer of black qi immediately rose up, looking like the most filthy and evil thing in the world. No one could have imagined that this crystal silk thread, after being burned, would be so contrasting.
"Break it, I am destined to be eternal and immortal, and no cause and effect can contaminate me!"
At the same time, Styx struck, the divine thought was like a knife, slashing out a stream of crystal blood light, like the ancient mountains, magnificent and vast, whistling out, poof, the causal thread of this way was suddenly shattered under the brutal attack of the Styx, this process seems to be easy, but in fact, it is also a great test for the Styx.
Every time he cuts off a thread of cause and effect, it is a kind of harm to him, and forcibly cutting off cause and effect is against the rules of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, how can he not be counterattacked.
Every time a cause and effect is cut off, the Styx's own breath will also be weak, when the countless causal threads are cut, the Styx itself is already dying, almost running out of oil, as if experiencing the five decays of heaven and man, it may fall at any time.
"Three corpses, slash!"
The opportunity must not be lost, the River Styx does not have any stagnation, when the last causal line is cut off, he immediately urges the secret technique of cutting off the three corpses, and wants to cut out the second body of his three corpses!
When these words fell, Styx's body suddenly shook, and within the Qingyun above his head, three blood-colored lotus flowers suddenly appeared, corresponding to heaven, earth and people, rotating with each other, and a human flower in the middle had been used to behead the corpse last time, and at this time, the other one on the right was suddenly flowing with the light of the Dao, trembling.
On the top of the head of the River Styx, an illusory long knife manifested, this is the knife of the corpse, the eyes of the River Styx showed decisiveness, although the breath was weak at this time, but still controlled the knife of the corpse to cut down on himself, the sound of the boom, at this moment resounded, I saw the rhyme of the Dao, behind the River Styx, the Xuanhuang giant tree, the best spiritual root, rose at this moment, turned into a streamer, and submerged into the flower on the right.
This superb spiritual root Huang Zhongli was used by the River Styx as a corpse to behead the second corpse.
"Click!"
In just an instant, the illusory corpse slashing knife fell, slashing down on Styx's body, 'poof', a mouthful of essence blood spurted out of the mouth of Styx, even weaker, really like a candle flame in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any time, but Styx was determined and maintained, and all the spirit and spirit were focused on cutting corpses.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the momentum of the River Styx skyrocketed, and a roaring sound came from the body, which was earth-shattering, and at this moment, the River Styx broke through the realm and reached the middle stage of the quasi-saint.
At the same time, from that one of the earth flowers, a figure jumped out, wearing a dark yellow robe, thick and immeasurable and ethereal and profound two completely different breaths alternately revealed on his body, very weird, but also revealing a kind of avenue mystery, indescribable, it is also a quasi-holy realm, and the strength of the three corpses cut out with the best spiritual root is extremely powerful.
"I am Xuanhuang, I have seen the deity!" These three corpses are the good corpses of the River Styx, and they bow to the River Styx.
Styx rolled his eyes speechlessly, at this time he was very weak, although he broke through, but the loss of vitality was too great, and he didn't pay attention to this good corpse clone, and immediately took out a Huang Zhong Li, and after swallowing it, Styx sat on the ground and began to refine and recover.
