Wutong came behind him, and the two stood side by side on the branches of the osmanthus tree. They saw that the sacred tree under their feet was rooted in the Guanghan Mountain. The vast ashes were boundless. There was no so-called moon pool or fairyland to be seen, only withered and dead leaves.
The osmanthus tree grows on the cliff. Far away from the osmanthus tree, there is a magnificent palace, but there is no one living there either.
"After all, the things recorded in ancient books happened a long time ago."
Wutong's mood seemed to be calm, and he said calmly: "I saw so many abandoned Guanghan Palaces on the way, and I should have thought of this a long time ago. It is because Guanghan Mountain was buried in the ashes that caused the decline of my people's habitat."
Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Wutong, even in this situation, you can still maintain your heart of Taoism, which makes me admire you. I am convinced that you can be the senior sister of the Gewu Academy."
Wutong's expression did not show any fluctuations, and he said calmly: "I am a human demon, in both lives. My heart is originally a demon, so how could I become a demon when my heart is weak? I..."
Her body shook, blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, and she suddenly lost all her strength. She slipped and fell from the laurel branch.
Su Yun was startled and jumped down quickly.
The osmanthus tree was extremely tall. The two men fell from the air, their bodies passing through the thick branches.
Su Yun hugged Wutong around the waist. The true energy behind him gathered and turned into a pair of wings. He flapped his wings and flew, avoiding the withered branches.
He activated the cave heavens, trying to attract the vital energy of heaven and earth, and saw seventy-two cave heavens appear behind him. However, no vital energy came from any of the seventy-one cave heavens!
Those seventy-one caves seemed to have dried up, and not a drop of the vitality of heaven and earth was left!
There is only one cave, from which the vital energy of heaven and earth gushes out, and the vital energy is extremely strong!
Su Yun was puzzled, and dispersed the other caves, leaving only this one.
He didn't have time to think about it, he looked down and saw that Wutong's eyes were closed, as if he had lost his life.
"Yingying, I asked Wutong before if she had any flaws in her Dao heart, and she said no. Now it seems that she lied."
Su Yun hugged Wutong and fell to a thick branch below, whispering: "The flaw in her Tao heart is most likely her clansman."
Yingying rode Lingxi back from Wutong's spirit world to Su Yun's spirit world and said, "Her spirit world is in chaos, and all kinds of evil thoughts have escaped. It's not good."
Lingxi nodded repeatedly.
Su Yun frowned, put Wutong down, and said, "Yingying, open her spirit world and let me take a look."
Yingying leaped up on Lingxi and disappeared.
After a while, with a buzzing sound, Wutong's spiritual world emerged. Her spiritual world was filled with a scene of withering and decay, and was filled with evil spirits. There was no longer the fairyland-like appearance of the past with curling white clouds.
The seventy-two caves in her spiritual world are hung on the sky. These caves are different from the caves of Su Yun and other spiritual masters. The caves of Su Yun and other spiritual masters are connected to the seventh spiritual world, while her caves are used to absorb the demonic nature of all living beings.
And in Wutong's Liyuan, there was a surge of demonic energy, and everywhere were nightmare demons transformed by evil thoughts, flying out from the Liyuan and dancing all over the sky.
Su Yun adhered to his Taoism and resisted the attacks of the monsters. He looked intently and saw Wutong's Lizhu rising from Liyuan and flying into the sky, like a bright moon hanging in the sky.
But the next moment, the bright moon turned black, and countless nightmare demons emerged and surrounded Su Yun.
Suddenly, hallucinations appeared before his eyes. A group of witches appeared in alluring postures, tempting him to give up his Taoism.
Su Yun shouted loudly, activating the magical powers of Buddhism, and looked dignified. However, the next moment he saw his body getting bigger and bigger, naked, with the witches climbing on him and teasing him in various ways. For a moment, his Taoism heart was in danger.
Yingying rushed over hurriedly on Lingxi, and Lingxi forced back the nightmare demons transformed by Wutong's evil thoughts. The illusion in front of Su Yun suddenly disappeared, and his face turned red with shame, and he looked a little embarrassed, not daring to make eye contact with Yingying.
The voices of the nightmare demons were noisy and lingering, but fortunately Lingxi could suppress these demons. Su Yun quickly calmed down and said, "Yingying, find her Lizhu. I want to see her spirit!"
Yingying stood on Lingxi's forehead, holding the rhino horn with her hand, and Su Yun sat on Lingxi's back. Lingxi carried them into the sky, and all nightmare demons avoided them wherever they passed.
The sky was dark, filled with nightmares created by flying evil thoughts.
Those nightmares were in the form of women, like black-clad phoenix trees, gathering and dispersing, swaying unsteadily.
Finally, they found Wutong's Lizhu. They saw that Wutong's cultivation level was close to the celestial phenomenon. The Lizhu was many times larger than Su Yun's Lizhu and was about ten feet high.
The girl's soul was now lying in the Lizhu, with her eyes closed, surrounded by thorns.
The sharp barbs of the thorns pierced into her skin and her body, wrapping around her tightly.
The spirit of the paulownia tree curls up and the thorns weave into a cocoon.
All kinds of evil thoughts were pouring out from her brows. Those evil thoughts transformed into twisted girls, drilled out of the Lizhu, and swept through the spiritual world.
This is a sign of power dissipation!
When all the evil spirits restrained by the Lizhu escape, she will fall from the Liyuan realm and return to the Yuandong realm. If the evil spirits contained in the true essence escape, she will drop another realm and fall to the Yunling realm!
If she falls from the Soul Condensation Realm again, Wutong will become an ordinary girl, controlled by all kinds of evil in her body and without self-awareness!
Su Yun frowned and tried to awaken the spirit in Lizhu, but Wutong did not move at all and fell into a state of self-isolation.
Yingying asked, "Master Su, if you can save Jing Zhao from becoming possessed by the devil, then you can also save her, right?"
Lingxi also raised her head and looked at Su Yun.
Su Yun shook his head and said, "Old Cave Master Jing Zhao's heart was damaged and he fell into a demonic barrier. All we need to do is resolve the obsession in his heart. So I asked him to burn down the Fire Cloud Cave Heaven, and his demonic barrier was resolved. But I have never encountered a situation like Wutong. Why did she become like this?"
Yingying guessed, "The human-demon is a life form born from a strong obsession of the soul, unwilling to die and determined to survive. Wutong's obsession supported her to transform into a human-demon and travel through the starry sky to find the whereabouts of her people. This obsession was so strong that she could not accept the fact that her people were extinct."
Su Yun said: "Most of her people have been extinct. To save her, we have to find her people. Where can I find her people? Yingying, let the white rhino protect her soul. After she disperses her power, the white rhino can protect her soul from being disturbed by the nightmare. By then, she should wake up."
Yingying said yes and whispered something to Baixi. The white rhino understood and stayed beside Lizhu.
Su Yun and Yingying immediately left Wutong's spiritual world. Su Yun said, "Since this place is deserted, there is nothing worth lingering here. Let's go back to the moon first. After Qilin and the other brothers have recovered from their injuries, we can find a way to heal Wutong."
Yingying landed on his shoulder and asked in confusion, "Didn't you say that you must not give up your chance to become an immortal no matter what? Winning the title at Guanghan Mountain this time is your chance to become an immortal. If you give up, you may never get a second chance!"
Su Yun leaped up, spread his wings behind him, carried Wutong on his back, and flew towards the branch he came from, saying, "This place has been buried in ashes. It's ridiculous that Guanghan Mountain can't even protect itself, so where can the immortal fate come from?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the clusters of flowers on the ancient sacred tree suddenly burst into spiritual power. The spiritual power turned into snow-white light. With a hum, layer after layer of spiritual light spread out in all directions!
The impact of these waves of spiritual power was extremely powerful and Su Yun was simply unable to resist it. The first wave of impact sent him flying!
Yingying on his shoulder was also shocked by the impact and screamed, unable to keep her body steady!
Su Yun didn't think twice, and a yellow bell appeared above his head. The yellow bell spun wildly, getting bigger and bigger. Yingying stuck tightly to the yellow bell with a snap.
The yellow bell began to turn, sending the little book monster to Su Yun's spiritual world.
Yingying was terrified. Just as she flew up, she saw Wutong was also sent to the spirit world. The little book monster was overjoyed: "Scholar Su has learned how to hide a beautiful woman in a golden house! Pick the flowers when they are ready to be picked, don't wait until there are no flowers and you will have nothing to pluck! This young man is teachable!"
Su Yun was carrying Wutong on his back, so he had difficulty moving, so he sent Wutong into the spirit world. He had just sent Wutong away when the second wave of impact hit him!
Su Yun flapped his Golden Crow wings and fought against the attack in the sky, but with a snap, his wings broke and he was swept backwards by the waves caused by the spiritual light.
"I was just joking..."
Su Yun was involuntarily carried back by the spiritual power. Looking from afar, he saw the third and fourth rays of light following closely on the osmanthus tree!
"Is this sacred tree able to understand what I say? I laughed at it for not being able to protect Guanghan Mountain, so it deliberately punished me!"
Just as Su Yun thought of this, the third and fourth waves of impact came one after another!
“Bang!”
Su Yun crashed into a tall building, and the impact force pressed his head against the wall of the building.
At this time, Su Yun noticed that the spiritual power shock waves swept across the ash within a radius of hundreds of miles near the osmanthus tree, sweeping away the rolling ash and revealing the true face of Guanghan Mountain!
All the disaster ashes within a radius of hundreds of miles in Guanghan Mountain were swept away. Not only that, the sky was clear of dust and all the disaster ashes floating in the sky were also swept away!
Su Yun's neck cracked and his head was lifted up by another wave of spiritual energy, as if an invisible giant was pinching his chin and forcing him to look up.
"This osmanthus tree is definitely alive!"
Su Yun gritted his teeth and saw several huge round planets hanging in the sky, with ashes floating in the air, drifting from there to Guanghan Mountain.
“Bang!”
Su Yun's neck was twisted by a great force and he turned to the right. He saw that the ashes beside the building were blown away, revealing a long mountain path leading directly to the top of this world.
“Bang!”
Su Yun's neck was twisted to the left by a spiritual force again. The building was built in the shape of a portal. There was a jade platform under the portal with all the ashes blown away. A pen and a golden list hung on the jade platform, which seemed to be a place for registration.
Suddenly the spiritual power dissipated, and Su Yun finally fell to the ground. The osmanthus tree pressed him against the wall and humiliated him severely, as if telling him that the ashes here were not the ashes of Guanghan Mountain, and that this sacred tree was not unable to defend Guanghan Mountain!
It wanted to press down on Su Yun's head and tell him that Guanghan Mountain was just buried by the ashes that drifted from those dead planets over the years!
"The Moon Palace's laurel, this delicate flower may not be so easy to pluck..." Su Yun thought to himself.
He dispersed the broken golden crow wings behind him and came to the jade platform in front of the building-shaped mountain gate. A jade pen flew over from the platform. Su Yun raised his hand and grabbed it. The golden list also flew up and unfolded in front of him.
Su Yun took a pen and wrote his name on the gold list, then went up the mountain obediently, thinking, "That osmanthus tree allowed me to climb Guanghan Mountain. Could it be that the mountain is the purpose of this trip? Bathing in the Moon Pool? Senior Sister Wutong, do you want to bathe too..."
Yingying held her chin with one hand, sat next to his Lizhu, squinting her eyes to listen to the voice coming from his Lizhu.
Su Yun thought to himself, "Besides the Moon Pool Bathing, there is the Moon Palace Laurel Picking. Do I want to pick a branch of this extremely powerful laurel tree? It's almost like it's picking a branch for me!"
Finally, Su Yun arrived halfway up the mountain and saw a platform. In front of the platform was a stone tablet with words on it. However, Su Yun stared at it for a long time but still could not recognize a single word.
"The stele says that this is Guanghan Cave Heaven." Wutong's voice came from his spiritual world.
Su Yun was shocked and quickly asked her to leave the spiritual world. He saw that Wutong's face was pale and her lips were bloodless. Her cultivation was gone and she was just an ordinary woman. She looked so pitiful that people couldn't help but want to protect her.
Su Yun said: "Senior Sister Wutong, you didn't register your name at the mountain gate. Let's go back and register..."
Wutong shook his head: "My cultivation is now wasted. It's useless even if I go back. I can't pass the test of Guanghan Mountain. Look at that osmanthus tree."
Su Yun looked back and saw countless branches and leaves of the osmanthus tree swaying in fluttering. The branches penetrated the space of each world and hung in the sky above the universe.
This scene is shocking.
