"You ran away secretly, didn't you?"
Ling Xiao rolled his eyes and knew at a glance that Long Aotian was lying.
Long Aotian said that Ling Xiao had true dragon blood in his body. When Ling Xiao was practicing the secret art of the Ancestral Dragon, he seemed to be assisted by a god. In just one year, he even broke through the three realms of the body of a flood dragon, the body of an earth dragon, and the body of a flying dragon. This also shows that Ling Xiao's blood is indeed extraordinary.
However, Ling Xiao confirmed that his bloodline power had not yet awakened. Every time he practiced the Ancestral Dragon Secret Art, the dragon-shaped mark that appeared between his eyebrows was proof of this. Ling Xiao was also looking forward to how terrifying it would be if his bloodline were fully awakened.
"I often go to the East China Sea Eye to play. My aunt is very kind to me. I know she misses you very much, so I plan to come to the Eight Wastelands to bring you back to see her. That's why I came here!"
Long Aotian chuckled.
"The Eight Desolate Realm and the God of War Continent are separated by an endless sea of reincarnation. How did you get here?" Ling Xiao's heart moved.
"The Netherworld Ship, my aunt told me that the Netherworld Ship in the Sea of Samsara appears once a year. I was lucky and found the Netherworld Ship easily! By the way, the Netherworld Ship can only stay for a month. I know where the Netherworld Ship is. Let's set off quickly, otherwise we will have to wait until next year!"
Long Aotian said this in a cocky manner, and when he mentioned the Netherworld Ship, he suddenly clapped his hands as if he had suddenly realized something.
"You actually found the Netherworld Ship? Great!"
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with some surprise.
He had originally planned to leave the Eight Wildernesses and then search for the whereabouts of the Netherworld Ship in the area recorded in the legend. He did not expect that Long Aotian came here on the Netherworld Ship.
Ling Xiao made a rough calculation and found that the Netherworld Ship should stay for more than ten days, but just in case, Ling Xiao still planned to set off early.
"Have fun by yourself, kid. Once I have arranged the affairs of the Changsheng Sect, we will leave!"
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao did not hesitate.
It is too late to deploy martial arts to achieve longevity. Before that, Ling Xiao must reinforce the longevity and deification formation and leave behind some powerful means.
After all, no one knows when Ling Xiao will be able to come back after he leaves. Although Changshengmen has great potential now, it lacks high-end combat power after all.
This time when going to the God of War Continent, Ling Xiao plans to bring Xuewei and Fengnu. Xuewei's Nine Nether bloodline and Fengnu's Black Phoenix body will be able to shine only when they arrive in the God of War Continent.
Although Xuewei is now practicing the fragments of the Nine Netherworlds, she must find the complete Nine Netherworlds Sutra.
In addition to Xuewei and Fengnu, Yueshen is also going to the God of War Continent. Together with Lingxiao, Old Mountain Goat and Long Aotian, there are a total of six people.
The cultivation of others is too weak, so staying in the Eight Desolate Realm to practice is the best option.
The image of Ji Feixuan appeared in Ling Xiao's mind, but he still shook his head. As the leader of Yao Chi Sect, Ji Feixuan should not be willing to leave the Eight Desolate Territory.
After thinking it through, Ling Xiao told Nangong Xuan about his plan.
Although Nangong Xuan was worried, his worries dissipated a lot when he saw that Long Aotian was able to arrive in the Eight Desolate Territory safely via the Netherworld Ship.
Finally, Ling Xiao came to the forbidden area in the back mountain, preparing to use the Enlightenment Tree as the foundation to re-perfect the Longevity and Conferred God Array.
In the forbidden area at the back mountain, spiritual mist is everywhere, exotic flowers and plants are in full bloom, and there is a mysterious aura in the air that lifts people's spirits.
Nangong Xuan has planted the more than one hundred medicinal king plants that Lingxiao gave him in the forbidden area in the back mountain. Under the miraculous effect of the Enlightenment Tree, these medicinal king plants will grow rapidly like the ancient peach trees. It is not impossible for them to transform into supreme holy medicines in the future.
Ling Xiao also took out the longevity fruit tree and planted it next to the enlightenment tree.
The Longevity Fruit Tree is also an innate spiritual root. It is slightly inferior to the Enlightenment Tree, but it is also enough to protect a holy place and gather the power of destiny.
Although Ling Xiao has picked all the longevity fruits, as long as there is enough time, the longevity fruit tree will bloom and bear fruit and grow new longevity fruits.
"Quack, quack, quack..."
The sound of a toad was heard from the Enlightenment Tree. It was a red toad, its entire body shining like jade, its eyes very smart, and it looked at Ling Xiao with a hint of flattering expression.
"It has turned into a sixth-level monster?"
There was a hint of shock in Ling Xiao's eyes.
This toad is the thousand-year-old red toad that Ling Xiao had obtained before. Because its strength was too weak, it had been placed on the Enlightenment Tree to be allowed to practice on its own.
Ling Xiao did not expect that the cultivation level of this red clam would improve so quickly and it had already reached the level of a sixth-order monster.
"The Enlightenment Tree seems to be a little different after its rebirth!"
There was a gleam of divine light in Ling Xiao's eyes. The Enlightenment Tree now looked dazzling. Although its branches and leaves were sparse, they were as crystal clear as jade. There was also an aura that made people feel peaceful, as if they were about to fall into the state of enlightenment at any time.
"Cousin, there are so many heavenly and earthly spiritual roots here?"
Long Aotian sneaked in at some point, and as soon as he saw the Enlightenment Tree, the Longevity Fruit Tree, and the Ancient Peach Tree, he started drooling and his eyes lit up.
Ling Xiao was startled and quickly grabbed Long Aotian, "Don't move, these spiritual roots are still in their infancy and not mature yet. I'll give you a peach!"
Ling Xiao had no way to deal with this kid, so he could only take out a golden peach and hand it to Long Aotian.
"It's okay, cousin, I want to eat the longevity fruit!"
Long Aotian ate the peaches in just two or three bites, looking unsatisfied as he set his eyes on the longevity fruit.
As the ninth prince of the Crystal Palace, the spiritual roots of the ancient peach tree could only produce medicinal herbs. Long Aotian had eaten a lot of them, so naturally he looked down on them.
The Crystal Palace doesn't have many of the Wanshou Fruit, a supreme holy medicine, so naturally Long Aotian is very envious.
"Stop messing around, the longevity fruit tree hasn't borne any fruit yet!"
Ling Xiao wanted to fool him.
"Cousin, don't lie to me. You just picked this longevity fruit. Look, the branch is still broken!"
Long Aotian was very cunning. His eyes rolled around and he soon found clues.
Ling Xiao had no choice but to give Long Aotian a longevity fruit.
"Thank you, cousin, you are so kind to me! When we return to the God of War Continent, if father doesn't let aunt go, I will help you beat him up!"
Long Aotian smiled widely and drooled as he held the longevity fruit.
"I know! Please step aside first, I'm going to set up the formation!"
Ling Xiao said helplessly.
After Long Aotian left the forbidden area in the back mountain, Ling Xiao began to mobilize the power of Changsheng Mountain and started to rearrange the Changsheng Fengshen formation.
Boom!
Changsheng Mountain began to vibrate and hum, emitting brilliant rays of light. Runes burst out from the mountain, emitting a vast and mysterious power.
The Enlightenment Tree swayed in the wind, so light and graceful. Each leaf was like a brilliant ancient character, with the energy intertwined with each other. The brilliant light enveloped the entire Changsheng Mountain.
