"Master Nangong, what treasures are hidden in the forbidden area at the back of your sect? Can you let me take a look?"
Peng Zihao smiled slightly and looked at Nangong Xuan.
Nangong Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, Elder Peng, this forbidden area in the back mountain was left by the Supreme Ancestor of Swallowing Heaven. Except for the Sect Master and the Holy Son, no one is allowed to enter. I can't break the rules of our ancestors!"
Peng Zihao's eyes sparkled, and he smiled slightly, "So that's how it is. If that's the case, then forget it! But the Immortal Realm is about to be opened, and our two sects are of the same origin. If Sect Master Nangong has any detailed information, please let me know in time. Thank you very much!"
Nangong Xuan smiled and said, “You are too polite, Elder Peng. I will!”
"Well, in that case, Sun God, let's go!"
Peng Zihao smiled and nodded, then glanced at the Sun God and said.
Seeing that Peng Zihao did not pursue the matter, the Sun God did not say anything more. Before leaving, he glanced at Ling Xiao and said lightly: "Stay away from the Moon God in the future. Compared with her, you are like a firefly to the bright moon. You are not from the same world at all. I hope you don't bring shame upon yourself!"
"Who I am close to or far from is not something you need to worry about, right?"
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said indifferently.
"Take care of yourself!"
The Sun God said indifferently, with a hint of hidden murderous intent flashing in his eyes, and then he turned and left the forbidden area in the back mountain.
Zhao Ritian, who was standing behind Ling Xiao, was also stunned.
He had originally planned to let the Sun God help him capture Ling Xiao and snatch the Nine Heavens Spiritual Grass, but he had not expected that Ling Xiao could actually compete with the Sun God and not lose.
Zhao Ritian was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell to the ground, and for a moment he forgot about complaining to Rishen.
Now, seeing the Sun God and the disciples of the Sun, Moon and Star Sect leaving, he woke up from his dream and hurriedly followed them.
Nangong Xuan and the Great Elder breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Peng Zihao, Ri Shen and others had left.
"Ling Xiao, you are finally back. I didn't expect your cultivation to grow so horribly. You are almost surpassing us old guys!"
Nangong Xuan and the Great Elder looked at Ling Xiao, with a hint of shock and emotion in their eyes.
They had also heard about Ling Xiao's victory over She Tianluo, but they couldn't believe it. Now they saw with their own eyes that Ling Xiao's cultivation had reached the first level of the Grandmaster Realm, and that he had mobilized the power of the Longevity and Conferred God Array and was actually able to contend with the Sun God. It felt like a dream to them, and they were all surprised and delighted.
Nangong Xuan and the Great Elder realized that Ling Xiao's growth rate during his trip to the ancient country of Dahuang was too terrifying.
"Master, Great Elder, thank you for your compliments!"
Ling Xiao smiled slightly, looked at Xia Huang and the others and said, "Let me introduce you to them. This is Xia Huang, the king of the Great Wilderness. This is Ling Juechen, the national teacher of the Great Wilderness Ancient Country. This is the master of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, Master Chunyang..."
Nangong Xuan and the Great Elder both showed a hint of shock in their eyes. Xia Huang, Ling Juechen and Chunyang Zhenren were all half-step to the realm of kings. In the past, they were big figures that they could not even dream of, but now they all came to the Changsheng Gate.
What surprised them even more was that Tianjian Li Ling was persuaded by Ling Xiao to join Changsheng Sect and became the guardian elder of Changsheng Sect. This was the first powerful person in the realm of heaven and man in Changsheng Sect, so naturally they would not disagree.
After everyone exchanged greetings for a while, Nangong Xuan asked the disciples of Changsheng Sect to take Xia Huang and others to the villa to rest.
Ling Xiao, Nangong Xuan and the Great Elder came to the forbidden area in the back mountain.
In the valley, white mist is thick and auspicious air is rising.
The white mist was filled with extremely rich spiritual energy, which had transformed into substantial spiritual mist, containing extremely pure power.
Flowers are blooming in the valley, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants stand in rows. Some of the magical medicines have even been effective for decades or even hundreds of years.
All the spiritual herbs in the valley were planted by the Great Elder, because he discovered that the growth rate of the spiritual herbs in this valley was ten or even a hundred times faster than that in the outside world!
Because of the existence of the Enlightenment Tree, everything in this valley is different. There is a mysterious wave spreading, like a profound trace of Tao, telling the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.
Ling Xiao saw that in the center of the valley, there was a enlightenment tree more than ten feet tall, with lush branches and leaves. It exuded a crystal luster and was as green as jade. There were mysterious patterns on each leaf, and one look at it made people feel as if they were about to fall into the state of enlightenment.
Wisps of red clouds were lingering, and the branches of the Enlightenment Tree drooped slightly, like divine chains of order, inserted into the inexplicable void, drawing infinite power.
This is another magical function of the Enlightenment Tree. It can insert its branches into layers of void, draw energy from countless time and space, and nourish itself.
Standing under the Enlightenment Tree, it seemed as if all distracting thoughts disappeared, and the whole body felt pure, as if all the dust had been washed away, and the heart of the Tao also became clear.
call!
Ling Xiao took a deep breath and felt relaxed all over. All of his forty-eight thousand pores opened up and he felt completely relaxed.
“I didn’t expect that the Enlightenment Tree would grow so fast. It seems that the rebirth after destruction has caused some mysterious changes to the Enlightenment Tree!”
Ling Xiao looked at the Enlightenment Tree in front of him with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
“Ling Xiao, you are right. This Enlightenment Tree is indeed the number one spiritual root. It can actually allow people to achieve enlightenment anytime and anywhere. Now, Qing’er, Jian Wuque, Zuo Zhen and the others have made rapid progress in their cultivation because of the Enlightenment Tree. They are about to break through to the Grandmaster level!”
A hint of emotion also appeared on Nangong Xuan's face.
The longer he cultivated under the Enlightenment Tree, the more he could understand the significance of the first innate spiritual root. This Enlightenment Tree was the foundation for the rise of Changsheng Sect and it must not be lost.
The most essential part of the Enlightenment Tree is the Enlightenment Fruit, which is the top holy medicine between heaven and earth and seizes the fortune of heaven and earth. The Enlightenment Tree without fruit is already so magical, so how miraculous would the Enlightenment Fruit it bears be
Nangong Xuan and the Great Elder were both looking forward to it.
“Therefore, we must strictly control who enters the forbidden area in the back mountain. Only those who are absolutely loyal to the sect and have made great contributions can come in to practice. This matter must not be known to the other major martial arts holy places!”
There was a hint of solemnity in the eyes of the Great Elder.
Peng Zihao alone has made the entire Changsheng Sect feel like they are facing a formidable enemy. There are many powerful men in the king and prince realms in those martial arts holy places. If the news leaks out, Changsheng Sect will definitely not be able to withstand so many powerful men in the king and prince realms.
“Master, Great Elder, don’t worry! This time I will reinforce the Great Array of Immortality and Conferred Gods, with the Enlightenment Tree as the center of the array. By then, even if a powerful person in the King Realm dares to act wildly, he will definitely be defeated!”
There was a hint of coldness in Ling Xiao's eyes. If he had not returned in time today, the Enlightenment Tree would have been discovered by the Sun God.
Given the relationship between the Sun, Moon and Star Sect and the Changsheng Sect, the Sun God should be able to recognize the origin of the Enlightenment Tree, and then we will be in trouble.
Even if Ling Xiao had the Heaven-Swallowing Sword, he would surely die facing a powerful warrior in the King Realm.
Ling Xiao only hopes that the news of the upcoming opening of the Secret Realm of Longevity can temporarily divert their attention and give the Changsheng Sect enough time to grow!
