The stele was huge, but it was only three lines of text:

"Whoever climbs to the top of the Dao Immortal Ladder can get a chance to sit under the Dao Tree once. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If you can achieve enlightenment, you can get a Dao Fruit.

If you can't realize it, you can re-ascend to the top and realize it again. ”

Dou Xiaoyang looked left and right, and said in his heart, "The Dao tree mentioned on this stone tablet refers to this dead tree? Could it be that if you sit under this dead tree and succeed in enlightenment, this dead tree can still blossom and bear fruit, and grow a Dao fruit?

No one was able to answer these questions. The answer he wants will only be known if he tries it himself.

He quickly walked to the foot of the Tao tree, sat cross-legged, and suddenly he felt that he had entered a mysterious world.

There was nothing in the world but a stunty dead tree. But with his appearance, the dead tree suddenly sprouted, and these sprouts continued to grow, growing into huge leaves, forming a dense canopy in a short time.

The tree grows and expands until it reaches into the sky and obscures the sky. The land at the foot of the big trees is no longer bare and gray sandy soil, and the small grasses sprout and quickly form a green shade buried under the feet, and between the green shades, there are flowers blooming.

Dou Xiaoyang stood under the tree, looking at this colorful world with fragrant grass, which was obviously so full of spring and vitality, but for some reason, in his heart, there was suddenly a kind of loneliness and loneliness of independence.

At this time, a fresh breeze blew, and the leaves suddenly rustled, and suddenly there was a singing voice echoing in the heavens and the earth.

Dou Xiaoyang listened attentively, and this song sounded like resentment, like crying, like complaining, dancing the submarine of the ravine, and crying for the wife of the lonely boat. He thought the song was very nice and catchy, but when he wanted to hum it, he found that he couldn't even sing a word.

So, he could only listen silently, and gradually, he forgot the time, and was completely immersed in the song, and he listened to it like a fascination, and the whole person seemed to be integrated into this mysterious world.

But when he was incomparably intoxicated, the melodious singing suddenly stopped, and the whole world returned to a state of loneliness and silence again.

At this time, an old voice remembered in mid-air: "Then do you understand?"

Dou Xiaoyang hurriedly spoke: "I understand." ”

"What do you understand?"

"I understand...... I get it...... I get it...... What?" Dou Xiaoyang felt as if he understood, but when asked, he found that he didn't seem to understand anything.

It was as if he thought he could hum that song just now, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't even sing a word.

"Can I listen to it again?"

"Yes, when you come back next time, you can listen to it again, and I hope you can really understand it then......"

The moment the voice drifted away, the whole world trembled, and the towering trees that were dense a moment ago gradually began to wither, and the green leaves withered, fell, and turned into dust, and soon, in front of him, only the bare trunk remained.

Even these tree trunks are withering and drying up at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

The green flowers and plants under his feet have all withered and withered at this moment, turning into ashes, leaving only a desolate and barren land.

Dou Xiaoyang stood in the middle, in front of him, there was no more colorful falling, no more fragrant grass, and all that was left was the sadness and loneliness of the independence of the world.

When he opened his eyes again, he was still sitting under the dead tree, and in his field of vision, it was still a small valley three feet square.

He stood up slowly, feeling a little lost, as if there was something that he had so much to pursue in his heart, which had been placed in front of his eyes, but he had not been able to grasp it.

He couldn't tell what it was, but he seemed to know what it was.

"That's the so-called Dao Dao Fruit, right?"

Soon, the loneliness in his eyes gradually dissipated, and his eyes gradually became clear: "I reached the top this time, to put it bluntly, I just relied on the opportunistic trick of refining the spirit." I didn't get it through my real strength, so I couldn't get the real reward...... It seems that in the future, when my strength is enough, I will come back again, relying on my real strength, to reach the top again. ”

Thinking of this, Dou Xiaoyang stretched out his hand, gently stroked the dry tree, and muttered: "Wait for me, I will come again." ”

At this time, there was a sudden flash of light under his feet, and he was not panicked, because he had already seen that this was the light of the teleportation formation.

The light flashed away, and when Dou Xiaoyang opened his eyes again, he was already in an empty small black room. This black room is very small, surrounded by stone walls, and the whole black room has no windows and no doors, which looks a little weird.

He hurriedly looked at those stone walls, and found that there was a stone wall carved with a coiling dragon pattern, he looked closer, and found that the coiling dragon was lifelike, vivid, and even, this coiled dragon gave him a sense of déjà vu.

He suddenly thought of something, and his heart was suddenly shocked: "I recognize it, it is the dragon of Bowang Pavilion......"

"Yes, I am Bowangge, Bowangge is me. A little girl's childlike voice suddenly sounded from behind Dou Xiaoyang.

Dou Xiaoyang's scalp suddenly became numb, the hairs on his back stood on end, his neck turned his head extremely stiffly, and found that behind him, at some point, there was a little girl in a black dress with a somewhat illusory figure.

Just by looking at it, Dou Xiaoyang felt extremely palpitating, and he felt that this little girl's cultivation was countless times stronger than the big bosses of the three major sects he had seen combined.

Just one glance at the little girl, he immediately dispelled the idea of confronting her or running away.

He looked closely, and although the little girl was a little illusory, she was not a soul, but a real existence. Under a closer look, she looks extremely sweet and cute, and she is wearing a black dress, which sets off her snow-like skin to the fullest. But when Dou Xiaoyang looked at her eyes carefully, his teeth suddenly couldn't help but tremble.

"You ......" Dou Xiaoyang's fingers trembled, pointing at the little girl, the expression was like seeing a ghost.

Her pupils are not round, but, like cat's eyes, erect, pupils!!

"Me?" said the little girl, smiling.

Dou Xiaoyang kept retreating, and soon his back was against the wall, and there was no way to retreat. Only then did he speak again in disbelief, and asked the little girl in the black dress, "Who are you?"
