Seeing how many leaves the stone forest had gained, Ye Zan's face showed little surprise, but instead showed a hint of worry and uneasiness. At the same time, he suddenly had a guess about the origin of this giant tree, which may still be unreliable, but it was not completely unreasonable.
In fact, judging from Shi Lin's bloodline inheritance, Ye Zan can basically confirm that Shi Lin is different from the vast majority of humans in this world. In other words, although Shi Lin was born and raised in this world, his ancestors were probably from outside the region. Or to put it more clearly, the ancestor of Shilin was probably some demonic god from outside the world, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a unique bloodline inheritance.
The war between immortals and demons in ancient times caused the heaven and earth to break into many realms, but no one can tell clearly where those extraterrestrial demons came from.
You must know that when the demons from outside the world invaded this world, it was not just a dozen or so demons from outside the world, but truly like thousands of troops. That was not a battle, but a real war, an unprecedented battle that required the full resistance of all beings in this world. That war was not decided in one battle, but went through a long period of time, from temptation to conflict, from collision to stalemate, and after numerous large and small battles, it finally led to the final decisive battle.
And during this process, those demon gods from outside the world also had contact with the creatures in this world that went beyond fighting. However, there is no record at all about these aspects of information, and Ye Zan only relied on common sense to guess some information that might have been intentionally erased. For example, this situation of leaving blood descendants in this world is inevitable even in a war of aggression.
Regarding the origins of the demon gods from outside the world, some people speculate that those demon gods from the outside world are the descendants of the demon gods who were born from the chaos when the world was still in chaos. It is said that Chaos was divided into heaven and earth, and the Chaos Demon Gods had no place to stay, so they fled to hide in the endless void outside the sky, leaving behind these demon gods outside the sky.
But some people believe that these extraterrestrial demons were born in the endless void and are endless void wanderers like void creatures. When these wanderers in the endless void discovered this world with an extremely superior living environment, they wanted to take it completely for themselves, thus triggering a war between immortals and demons.
In addition, there is another saying that the demon god from outside the world exists in an unknown world deep in the endless void. After all, the "endlessness" of the endless void is not an exaggeration. How could there be only this piece of heaven and earth in the huge endless void. Just like in the world of science and technology, with such a huge universe and countless stars and planets, is it possible that apart from the human earth, there are no other planets that can breed intelligent life
Precisely because there is no exact origin, people only know that these demons come from outside the world, so they are collectively called demons from outside the world, just like aliens in the technological world.
In that battle between immortals and demons, no one seemed to be the winner. Although the Immortal Court blocked the invasion of demons from outside the world, the heaven and earth were torn apart and could no longer support existences above the earthly immortals. It is said that it is precisely because of this that Xianting resolutely led the remaining immortals to trace the traces of the demon god from outside the world, hoping to fight all the way to the demon god's lair and let the opponent pay blood for blood.
Of course, the ending of Immortal Court is just a legend. Anyway, since that war, there is no trace of Immortal Court in the world. If the Immortal Court was destroyed by the Demon from Beyond, I am afraid that all realms would have already become the territory of the Demon from Beyond, so this legend is still somewhat possible.
Daozu Xuanqing once went deep into the endless void, trying to find clues about the ancient fairy court. He mainly wanted to find a way to break through the shackles of heaven and earth. And he also brought back a lot of things from the endless void, such as the merit tablet in Ye Zan's hand, the Emperor's Token that Tianyu Daozu was refining, and a corner of the void battlefield in the Immortal Palace, etc. It can be seen that Xuanqing Daozu has at least found the right path, otherwise it would be impossible to get things from the Immortal Court.
And this giant tree, it is said by Mr. Ta, is the first thing brought by Xuanqing Taoist Ancestor from the endless void. When Xuanqing Daozu brought the giant tree back, the giant tree was already so huge. It was not planted to this size after he brought it back. In fact, what Daozu Xuanqing brought back was not just the giant tree, but the space where the giant tree was located, as well as the mountain under the giant tree.
Originally, Ye Zan thought that this giant tree might be the same as the Monument of Merit and Virtue, which was left by the Immortal Court in the endless void. But now it seems that a person in Shilin who has the bloodline of the demon god from outside the world is favored by a giant tree, so it seems that it can be guessed which side of the giant tree it belongs to.
If this guess is correct, Ye Zan doesn't have to worry about Shi Lin, but that also means he has to worry about himself. If this giant tree comes from the devil outside the sky, then Ye Zan probably has to be on guard against the green leaf lotus platform now entrenched in the sea of consciousness. Moreover, in addition to himself, the Lin family siblings also got leaves, as well as some outstanding disciples of Yuqing Sect. If something went wrong, it would be really troublesome.
Of course, worries are worries, and Ye Zan is not so frightened. After all, this is just his own guess. Moreover, as mentioned before, even Xuanqing Dao Ancestor placed the giant tree here with confidence, and also provided it for Yuqing Sect and other sects to gain opportunities. At least it can be explained that in the opinion of Xuanqing Daozu, this giant tree will not cause any harm.
The giant trees finally stopped falling leaves, and the dragon shape above the head of the stone forest was already like a real dragon, swinging through the golden mist with its fangs and claws. Just like this, after a while, Shi Lin's movements began to slow down, and the true dragon-like dragon shape became scattered again, as the golden mist gradually poured back into Shi Lin's body.
"call!"
When all the golden mist returned to the body, Shi Lin's movements also stopped and he exhaled a long breath. The golden hair on his head faded away, revealing his original black hair, and the tattoo-like dragon totem on his back gradually disappeared into his flesh.
After some feelings, Shi Lin opened his eyes, looked at Ye Zan with surprise, and couldn't help shouting: "Master, I seem to have become more powerful again!"
Seeing that Shi Lin woke up, the little Loli immediately ran over and circled around the stone forest for a few times before exclaiming in amazement: "My little brother is so amazing, he ate so many leaves!"
"What! Eat leaves, me?" Shi Lin was confused by the little Lolita's words. He smacked his lips carefully, but he didn't feel any special taste.
At this time, Ye Zan also walked over, stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of Shi Lin's head, and said: "Okay, don't listen to Linglong's nonsense, you have got a lot of opportunities here, I believe it will be helpful for your future growth. However, you should not practice the Dragon Cultivation Technique again until my master finds a suitable technique for you."
Although his hair was rubbed into a chicken coop, Shi Lin did not feel disgusted at all. Instead, he enjoyed the feeling and was still reluctant to let go after Ye Zan took his hand away. However, he was already a man after all, so he was naturally embarrassed to take the initiative to apply for head-touching. He just scratched his head and said, "It's Master, I've written it down."
Shi Lin didn't ask what opportunity he got, nor why he didn't want to practice this technique anymore. In his opinion, whatever the master says or does, it must be reasonable, and it will definitely not harm him anyway, just like his adoptive father.
"That's good, remember to take your medicine on time." Ye Zan warned again, stretched out his hand to pull down the little Loli who was climbing up the tree, held him in his arms and said, "Okay, nothing happens here. , we can go out."
In the space of the Jinxing Formation outside, in the open space between the demon clan team and Zhenjun Qinghong and others, a passage finally opened out of thin air again. Ye Zan, taking Shi Lin and Little Loli, slowly walked out of the passage and came to the middle of the demon team, True Lord Qinghong and others.
"Young Master, are you okay?" The demon clan asked eagerly as soon as they saw Shi Lin appearing.
After receiving Ye Zan's signal, Shi Lin left Ye Zan and walked over. After arriving at the demon team, he said: "It's okay. My master is taking me with me, what else can happen!"
It's because your master is taking you with you that we are worried that something will happen! When the demons heard Shi Lin's answer, they suddenly cursed in their hearts. They are not as naive as Shi Lin. They have seen a lot of the despicable, shameless, hypocritical, treacherous and so on of the human race. Therefore, they do not believe that Ye Zan and Shi Lin are really just a meeting between master and disciple.
When Shi Lin came closer, several big demon kings looked at it carefully. Apart from finding that Shi Lin seemed to be stronger, there seemed to be nothing else out of the ordinary. However, this made them feel even more unsure, fearing that Ye Zan might do anything to Shi Lin that they could not see through.
The old turtle didn't say anything, he just turned his back and took out a magic weapon, which looked like something used for divination. He poured mana into the magic weapon and secretly pinched his fingers to divine divination secretly. His brows furrowed more and more tightly, and the suspicion in his eyes became more intense.
But at this time, after Ye Zan, Zhenjun Qinghong and others gathered together, he turned to the demon clan and asked: "Fellow demon clan Taoists, I don't know what your plans are next. Should you go with us or go your own way?" road?"
The old turtle secretly put away the divination magic weapon, put on a professional smile on his face, and said: "Fellow Daoist Ye, please forgive me. Although you and my young master are masters and disciples, we are still from the East China Sea Jiao Holy Palace." If we are in the same group, we might have to guard against each other, so it’s better to go our own way.”
Colleagues
Who knows if they are traveling together, the other party will take advantage of this relationship and let the demon clan be used as cannon fodder!
If the Yaozu and Ye Zan do not have this connection between Ye Zan and Shi Lin, maybe going together is a good choice. After all, even if they are wary of each other, they can still help each other when they encounter trouble, which is better than facing everything alone. Anyway, if you really want me to die, I can simply refuse, and you won't be able to listen to me and go to hell.
But now, the young master of the Demon Clan is Ye Zan's apprentice, so the Demon Clan has to consider whether Ye Zan will use their young master to set some death traps for them. In fact, the other party may not care about the life and death of this apprentice at all, and may even use this apprentice to lower the demon clan's vigilance.
Therefore, from Gui Lao's point of view, he could not go with Ye Zan and the others no matter what.
As for the other great demon kings, although they all respectfully address him as Young Master of Stone Forest, they obviously still follow his lead. When they heard Gui Lao's rejection, no matter whether they understood Gui Lao's meaning or not, they immediately put on a posture of rejecting others.
On the Demon Clan side, the only one who wants to go with Ye Zan is Shi Lin, who is Ye Zan's disciple. Seeing that the companions around him did not agree to go with the master's team, Shi Lin's face suddenly showed a bit of displeasure, and he immediately wanted to open his mouth and try again.
However, before Shi Lin could speak, Ye Zan nodded and said, "Well, what Fellow Taoist Gui said is true. In that case, let's go our own way."
Shi Lin was a little surprised. He swallowed the words that were on his lips and looked up at his master Ye Zan opposite, only to see his master blinking in his direction. Although he didn't know the reason why Master did this, he also understood that Master was hinting to him not to worry, so he could only stop speaking with his head full of questions.
Since the decision was made to go their own way, there was naturally a question of leaving first and then leaving. After all, it was impossible for everyone to leave the teleportation circle at the same time. Thinking that there was already Zhenjun Ziyang and his party in front to clear the way, the demon clan didn't care much about the issue of order. Mr. Gui bowed his hands to Ye Zan and said goodbye, and led the team to the teleportation circle first.
Of course, it is impossible for the Monster Clan to stay at the end. After all, Ye Zan now controls this formation. No matter how strong the demon clan is, it is impossible for them to compete with Ye Zan for this position that may have more benefits.
Seeing the demon clan's team leaving, True Lord Qinghong turned to look at Ye Zan and asked with some confusion: "Brother Xian, since that Shi Lin is your disciple, why don't you just keep him with us?"
"Yes, Brother Ye, this is the first time I have met my nephew. I didn't say much before I asked him to follow the demon clan team." Lin Mumu also looked very regretful, but it was obviously regretful that, less A junior for his own teasing.
You know, in this team, the youngest ones are Qi Qianjun and Xiao Loli, and then there are the Lin family siblings and Ye Zan. But among the two juniors, Qi Qianjun is too old-fashioned, and the little Lolita is too favored. It is boring for Qi Qianjun to tease the little Lolita. To tease the little Lolita, he has to go through his sister Lin Miaomiao first. Therefore, Lin Mumu really wanted to leave the stone forest behind so that the rest of the journey would not be too boring.
"He has his own affairs. Let's go meet the fellow Taoists over there for a while." Ye Zan said casually, and then changed the topic to another team.
