#390 - To cut down the tree of life?
Another day.
More people came to the Cangmu Sect.
Many of them possess powerful cultivation.
For a time, everyone in the Cangmu Sect was in danger.

Many people feel that this kind of thing has easily happened in the sect recently.
How many times have they been in danger?
They always feel that if this continues, if they are not brave enough, they will not be able to stay.
Watching the strong enter the secret realm one by one, the people of the Tiannv lineage could not say much.
Their people have not been effective when they were sent out.
If they continue to stop them, they will completely lose control of the secret realm.
Now, they can only speed up the investigation.
If they gain something, it doesn't matter.
They are just afraid that the secret realm will be in chaos, and they will not be able to investigate the outside situation.
The middle-aged man no longer struggled, nor did he have any other actions, he decided to investigate the surrounding area first.
The investigation inside the secret realm is left to the people who entered.
Especially Gu An's side, perhaps some news can be obtained from him.
On the mountain peak.
Gu An has been logging.
He found that this spiritual tree cannot be cut down for a long time.
If he cuts it down quickly, his body will become more and more stiff, and then his speed will slow down.
If he slows down, the stiffness will slow down, but he can't speed up.
So, he hasn't cut down much even after cutting down a tree for three or four days.
At most fifteen warm currents a day.
About ten spells, and about five bitter cultivations.
It's just that he can't do all the logging every day.
He has to cooperate with Drunken Life.
However, his progress is actually very fast in three days.
[Spell: 48 / 50]
[Bitter Cultivation: 9 / 100]
Looking at the panel, Gu An sighed.
The spell is about to be full.
So what should he do?
There is no place to improve here at all.
Could it be that he keeps logging?
It's too bad.
"Fellow Taoist, are you going to keep logging?" Suddenly the fairy on the side spoke.
The other party said that her name was Peng Qingqing, an inner disciple of Linghua Valley, with a mid-Yuanshen cultivation.
On the second day after the other party came, Gu An received feedback from the Ring of Destiny.
It is true that her name is Peng Qingqing, but she is from the Tiannv lineage, and her cultivation is on the first level of Xianqiao.
She is almost at the bottom of this group of people.
So she understands how reliable the backing is, and also understands that there is no threat in this remote small sect.
The purpose of her approaching them is to gain the trust of the two people.
The main purpose is to tease people.
By the way, see what Drunken Life can get, so that she can reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Investigating Gu An is also her purpose.
After gaining trust, she will give Gu An a surprise.
Let him understand what price he will have to pay for being contaminated with the aura of the Tiannv lineage.
This is the feedback that appeared on the first day.
New feedback appeared on the second day.
Because she noticed a new aura on Gu An.
She felt a little strange.
So she had an idea, which was to lead people to the location of the Tree of Life in the secret realm.
Being close to there can better explore the situation on Gu An.
Explore the source of these auras.
Whether it is true or false, it is difficult to escape the nourishment of the art of life.
In five days at most, these auras will be classified.
The true and false sources will all come to light.
Now, all that is needed is a reason to bring people over.
Gu An is actually quite looking forward to it.
The Tree of Life, although he doesn't know what kind of Tree of Life it is, it is definitely not an ordinary spiritual tree.
If he can cut it down....
That's simply a great opportunity.
This tree is too difficult to cut down.
The side effects are outrageously strong, and the body can't last too long.
The warm current will also drop sharply.
Moreover, the spell is almost full.
However, he never thought much about it.
Even if he suffers a loss, he will continue to log.
At least he can still gain bitter cultivation.
However, in the past few days, Drunken Life said that he had detected three things in the dark, but there was no other progress.
Gu An also tried to sense it, but found nothing.
This is definitely not ordinary perception.
At least he hasn't reached this level.
In this way, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the Aura Chapter.
Need to integrate more things.
I wonder if it can be improved again with spells.
He can totally try it.
This time, the spell will not improve Qi Sea Tiangang first, but will improve the Aura Chapter first.
See if he can better sense things.
At least see if he can reach the level of Drunken Life and detect the unknown things.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, Drunken Life slapped the tree with a palm.
The whole tree made a creaking sound.
Then it shook a few times and almost cracked.
Gu An's heart trembled.
Finally, he used the power of Jindan to stabilize the spiritual tree.
He breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that the spiritual tree was not broken.
"Senior, what is this?" Gu An looked at Drunken Life who was walking over.
The latter frowned and pointed to the trunk.
Gu An followed the other party's fingers and looked over.
I saw a wisp of spiritual liquid on the trunk.
It's like thick blood.
This is definitely not from the spiritual tree.
Gu An immediately said: "Something in the dark?"
Drunken Life looked at Gu An and said seriously: "I found that as long as you log, it will appear and try to attack you.
I could only detect it after a long time before, but after you logged, it came out much more often.
Perhaps it is because of the spiritual tree."
Gu An was wrong in his heart, the other party is here to attack him?
In other words, the other party is conscious, and what is the purpose of attacking him?
The most important thing is that he has never been able to detect it.
If it is close, I wonder if he can detect it.
But one thing is certain, logging here is definitely not that safe.
Sure enough, it is somewhat difficult to cut down the spiritual tree outside the sect.
It was the same when I went to Jiuxiao Pavilion before.
It is also very dangerous to cut down the spiritual tree there.
People like him want to quickly improve their cultivation, so they can only stay in the Cangmu Sect.
Gu An thought for a while and said: "Then I will continue logging."
Suddenly Peng Qingqing said: "I didn't notice it, but since Taoist Drunken Life said it, then is it possible that it is because of the spiritual tree?
If you change to a powerful spiritual tree, will that thing appear more frequently?"
Gu An understood that the other party wanted to lead them to the Tree of Life.
It's okay to go over.
After all, it takes him a few days to expose it.
As long as he can try to improve the Aura Chapter, he may have more time.
Hearing this, Drunken Life thought for a while and said: "I chased it over, which means that the other party is indeed not in one place.
But even if we go over, it may not go over."
"If it is conscious, it will definitely know that we are going to a better spiritual tree.
If it is unconscious, then it will definitely be able to detect the state of the spiritual tree, so as to go over and stop it.
If the guess is wrong, we can still come back to this place and try again," Peng Qingqing said.
Drunken Life thought for a while and said: "Does the fairy know where there is a better spiritual tree?"
Peng Qingqing said decisively: "When I noticed something, I also chased it all the way, and I encountered a towering tree on the road, which is definitely not an ordinary tree.
If you cut down that tree, it will definitely cause a greater impact."
Drunken Life looked at Gu An and said: "Fellow Taoist Gu, what do you think? If it is a powerful spiritual tree, you may not be able to cut it down, after all, some spiritual trees have spiritual energy to protect them.
Moreover, according to your logging habits, you may have to endure great side effects."
"It's okay," Gu An said seriously: "People like me are not good at doing anything, the only thing I can do is cut down spiritual trees, I want to try all kinds of spiritual trees."
After a pause, Gu An said: "However, after going over, I want to find a quiet place to adjust my state.
The side effects of this tree are not small, which makes my state wrong.
Since it is a stronger spiritual tree, there will definitely be stronger side effects."
"Okay, I'll build one for you when the time comes." Zui Fusheng nodded and said, "But there's something I need to tell you. Since it's a stronger spirit tree, I'm worried the attacks will be even more intense, and the chances of something happening to you will be much higher."
Gu An nodded in agreement, "It's all for Senior to obtain the treasure. Besides, felling such a spirit tree is what I've always longed for. Senior, there's no need to worry."
Having made a decision, the three of them didn't linger any longer.
Instead, they began to leave the mountain.
On the way, Zui Fusheng asked Peng Qingqing what kind of tree it was.
After bypassing some areas, Peng Qingqing pointed ahead.
Only then did Gu An see a towering tree behind the mountain peak, seemingly connecting to the nine heavens.
It was awe-inspiring.
Fell such a tree?
Gu An found it hard to believe.
Wouldn't this lead to instant immortality?
A tremendous opportunity.
However, with such a great opportunity, he also worried about not being able to seize it.
Perhaps he wouldn't be able to fell such a spirit tree.
He could only take it one step at a time.
He would go there first and then decide.
Peng Qingqing looked at Gu An, her heart filled with disdain.
No matter how much the other party talked about felling trees, he wouldn't actually do it when he saw this tree.
That was the Tree of Life. Under the tree, one could feel endless life essence.
As long as one attacked the tree, the perception of essence would decrease, gradually being eliminated.
Therefore, when they arrived at the Tree of Life, this so-called lumberjack's axe would soften.
No one could resist the temptation of the Tree of Life.
Especially someone like Gu An, who was old and didn't have much lifespan left.
Fell the tree?
He would probably end up felling himself.
Even if he made a move, it would only be for show.
As for whether Zui Fusheng could catch the hidden creatures, what did it have to do with her?
If he could catch them, she could seize the opportunity to snatch them. If he couldn't, it didn't matter.
She wouldn't suffer any losses.
Therefore, as long as she got close to the Tree of Life, she would be the biggest winner.
Besides, she wasn't afraid of being disturbed, because others couldn't get close to the Tree of Life.
On the other side, at the edge of the forest, Monk Chiyin looked at the beach ahead and chanted a Buddhist prayer, "This is the secret realm of the Celestial Maiden lineage. It is said that this secret realm holds many secrets."
Beside Monk Chiyin was a middle-aged man, who said with a smile:
"Monk, instead of worrying about other people's secret realms, you should worry about yourself. You are now in my hands.
Do you think you can escape?"
Monk Chiyin put his hands together and said, "Does Benefactor Bai think he was lucky to find this humble monk, or was it because this humble monk chose Benefactor?"
"What? You know my purpose?" Bai Cheng looked at the monk meaningfully.
Monk Chiyin looked at the person beside him and said, "It is said that the secret realm of the Celestial Maiden lineage hides the Weak Water that fell into the mortal world in the past, and a part of it exists in the depths of the sea.
As long as the method is appropriate, it can be drawn out.
It is said that there are Stones of the Great Dao in the depths of the Weak Water.
Especially after so many years of sedimentation.
As long as the water is drawn out, the sedimented Stones of the Great Dao will be a great opportunity."
"You seem to know quite a lot," Bai Cheng said, narrowing his eyes. "Then you must also know that the Yu Yuan Seal can, to a certain extent, trigger the Weak Water?
You came to draw out the Weak Water?
The arrival of the Weak Water will surely cause turmoil in Dongdao Ancient Province, and the Yu Yuan Seal can suppress some of the Weak Water, so the Buddhist sect will be sought after by countless people.
The Buddhist sect will preach here and gain a foothold.
When the karma gathers, the light of the Great Dao will descend.
Does the Buddhist sect also want to embark on the orthodox path of the Great Dao?"
Monk Chiyin revealed compassion in his eyes and said, "My Buddha is merciful and cannot bear to see the suffering of the world."
Hearing this, Bai Cheng laughed loudly, "The Buddhist sect is truly hypocritical. It's not as honest as my Zhuanlun lineage.
But since you want to use me, I think my trip will be very smooth.
Then I'll let you use me.
Hahaha!"
Laughing, Bai Cheng took Monk Chiyin and flew towards the sea.
On the way, he suddenly asked curiously, "I heard you came into contact with Gu An from the First Academy. What kind of person is he?"
The monk put his hands together and said, "A person who likes to avoid karma, barely considered a wise man, but too young, unaware that above the nine heavens, all Buddhas overlook the mortal world."
"It seems he's worth cultivating. Since that's the case, I'll take him in. My men have already gone, and he'll soon become one of mine," Bai Cheng laughed heartily.
Feeling that everything was going smoothly.
On the other side.
Chu Meng stood on a tree, gazing into the distance.
Behind her stood two maids.
One named Chunyu and the other named Dongxue.
"Miss, I've briefly learned that there are four directions in this secret realm.
One is a place called the Tree of Life, the second is the Endless Purgatory, the third is the Thousand Mile Snow Veins, and the fourth is the Demon Suppressing Sea Area.
They are in four different directions.
One can only try to get close, but cannot truly reach the core," Chunyu paused and said, "Also, I met some people who said that Monk Chiyin has also entered.
It is said that Monk Chiyin is an important disciple of the Buddhist sect. Only extremely important matters require Monk Chiyin to leave the Buddhist sect.
It seems that something is going to happen in the secret realm.
Also, it is said that he was let in by the First Academy.
It seems he was originally a prisoner of the First Academy."
Hearing this, Chu Meng was a little surprised, "The First Academy really has everything. Did they say what kind of seal it was?"
"The Yu Yuan Seal," Chunyu replied.
"The Yu Yuan Seal?" Chu Meng thought for a moment, then said calmly, "That's really a pity. I heard that the Yu Yuan Seal can trigger the Weak Water."
Afterwards, Chu Meng didn't say anything else, but looked towards the big tree and said, "Let's go, let's go find the Tree of Life." Chunyu and the others didn't dare to have any doubts.
On the way, Chu Meng asked, "Has there been any news from the clan recently?"
"No," Chunyu replied.
Hearing this, Chu Meng smiled, "They're really quiet. They used to send letters to stabilize me."
"Maybe the clan is busy," Chunyu replied.
"It's nothing, it's good if they don't send letters," Chu Meng said as she walked forward.
Two days later.
Cangmu Sect.
The Celestial Maiden lineage monitoring the secret realm frowned.
"What's wrong?" the middle-aged man asked.
"It's impossible to determine within the secret realm, but there's something strange outside the secret realm," the young man said truthfully. "The investigation of other places went smoothly, but in order to quickly understand that Gu An, I specifically investigated the place where he lives first.
It is said that he lives in Peak Outside Peak and Sky Suspension Peak.
There was no problem with Peak Outside Peak, but when I investigated his residence on Sky Suspension Peak, I encountered an obstacle."
"What obstacle?" the middle-aged man asked in confusion.
"Unable to investigate, approaching it will be bounced away. Not only that, but any aura that sneaks in will sink without a trace," the man told the truth.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
There was actually such a thing.
"Investigate with all your strength and be quick. I feel that something may happen in the secret realm. Why would Monk Chiyin suddenly appear in the secret realm?
I don't believe it's the First Academy's doing. The Chiyin holders in the Buddhist sect will seize the opportunity.
There must be news we don't know," the middle-aged man said firmly.
He could only speed up the progress and then try to close the secret realm.
As long as his side reacted quickly enough, he would definitely be able to disrupt other people's plans.
Unfortunately, the Cangmu Sect was too weak. If something really happened, he couldn't count on the Cangmu Sect at all.
However, he could let the Cangmu Sect buy them time to leave.
It would be enough to let them go up and deal with it then.
