Chapter 108: Ancient Tree Star Soul

  An extremely beautiful young woman, looking like she's eighteen years old, wearing a group of plain white clothes, making her whole person more ethereal, just like a fairy who has fallen to the mortal world, intoxicating people. However, how many people can think that such a beautiful woman is actually an old monster who has been cultivating for over a thousand years?

  Every time a Sanxian Jie passes, the lifespan will increase by 1,000 years. Adding to that the 500 years after the transformation of the mortal world, it's over 1,000 years.

  "You're being rude." Lu Renxing scolded.

  "It doesn't matter." The woman waved her hand and looked at the ancient jade, a faint smile on her face. "My name is Lanruo, you can call me Master Lanruo."

  Gu Yu regained his composure, slightly embarrassed "Disciple Gu Yu, has seen Master Lan Ruo."

  Lan Rou slightly nodded, as if suddenly remembering something, and flipped her right hand over.

  A flash of light, and an ancient bamboo scroll appeared in her hand.

  "This is my Lotus Valley's strongest technique, the 'Lotus Treasure Classic', which can reach the height of a Sixth Tribulation Scattered Immortal when cultivated to completion." As soon as he finished speaking, a white light burst out from Lan Ruo's palm and delivered the bamboo slip into Gu Yu's hand.

  "Thank you, Master." Gu Yu said respectfully as he took over the bamboo scroll.

  "Write it down and then destroy this bamboo slip. Be careful not to let it spread outside. Wait until you break through the next realm, and then come find me to receive the next volume of the skill." Lan Ruo said softly.

  It seems that Gu Yu doesn't know the weight of this technique, and Xue Chang Lao chimed in, "My Lotus Flower Valley's 'Lotus Treasure Classic' is the number one extraordinary technique in the Eastern Realm. I don't know how many people are secretly coveting it. You should know that even if Mo Tian Sect's Mo Tian Sword Classic reaches its peak, it can only cultivate to the height of a scattered immortal for five kalpas..."

  The ancient jade shook his mind and spirit, and it was only then that he knew how precious the skill in his hand was.

  "The disciple will certainly not disappoint the master's high hopes."

  Lan Rou smiled slightly and her eyes fell on Lu Ren Xing's body.

  "The time when the gate of heaven opens is approaching..."

  "There are still three days." Lu Renxing replied.

  "Is there any movement on the side of Huashen Gate and Tianbao Pavilion?" Lan Ruo asked.

  "The one from Huashen Gate and the one from Tianbao Pavilion have already left the pass yesterday. Also, there are three more unfamiliar scattered immortals inside Huashen Gate, it should be that they were invited as guests by Huashen Gate, and on the side of Tianbao Pavilion, there is also an additional unfamiliar face." Lu Renxing replied.

  Lan Rou nodded, "That old thing from the Mochen Sect mentioned the number of five people, but he just wants to monopolize the Tianmen. However, the Tianmen is not a place that the Mochen Sect can swallow... You also go and invite a few scattered cultivators in the next two days, give them the status of guest cultivator, and on the day the Tianmen opens, follow me into the Tianmen to search for treasure."

  Lan Ruo closed her eyes and fell silent.

  "Yes." Lu Renxing replied respectfully.

  After a moment, Lan Rou seemed to have thought of something and asked, "I remember that the last time I left the valley, our Lotus Flower Valley had a junior named Ding Yan who also broke through to the Scattered Immortal Realm."

  "Yes. But..." Lu Renxing furrowed his brow.

  "That little guy seems to have no sense of belonging to our Lotus Valley."

  Lan Rou nodded, waved her hand to dismiss a few people, got up and walked to the bedside, opened the window, and looked out at the falling leaves. She muttered to herself, "Ding Yan, Ding Yan, I wonder which Ding Yan it is... Is it my junior from Lianhua Valley?"

  In her mind, she involuntarily thought of the name on the monument.

  Ding Yan, cultivating for over thirty years!

  ......

  Outside, with the opening of Tianmen, one after another old monsters woke up from their closed doors, and even that old guy from Motianzong came out of his secret room, starting to gather the scattered immortals under his door, planning to enter Tianmen.

  At this time, in the ninth layer of Void Heaven, a stunning piece of news spread out and shocked all the loose immortals in this layer of heaven.

  A loose immortal named Xiao Shilong broke through the seal of the Ninth Absolute Heaven's Star, drew out its star soul, and attempted to refine it, in order to attain the position of Supreme Star Master!

  The Nine Great Abyssals have existed for nearly ten thousand years, and countless experts have attempted to plot against these nine star balls. However, without exception, all of them have lost their lives. Up until today, no one dares to attempt to plot against these nine demonic stars anymore. Even if someone were to go, they would sneak in quietly, steal a few things, and then quickly leave.

  "There's actually someone crazy enough to plot against Tian Yao Xing..."

  "I bet you anything, Xiao Shidi won't last a month!"

  In every life star, countless people began to discuss the news of Shi Long, and even many people flew towards the direction of Tian Yao Xing, trying to catch a glimpse of this extraordinary madman.

  Ding Yan was completely unaware of these messages.

  After returning to the ancient tree star, Ding Yan had been on this branch for two days. In these two days, Ding Yan gradually discovered some rules of the ancient demon Zhu Yan, such as at dawn, the ancient demon Zhu Yan would climb to the top of the ancient tree and swallow and spit out demonic energy to refine his demonic soul.

  During this time, Zhu Yan will seal off his six senses and enter a state of no self. If he wants to enter the Ancient Tree Star, this is undoubtedly the best time.

  Sitting on the top of the tree, Ding Yan gathered his divine consciousness and looked at the base of the ancient tree.

  There, countless adult arm-thick whisker roots were tangled together, gathering into a small pool. In the pool, green spiritual liquid emitted an enticing fragrance. The spiritual liquid that originally dispersed upon encountering air did not dissipate within the small pool formed by the whisker roots.

  By the edge of the small pool, the ancient monster Zhu Yan was lying on the ground with his right arm soaking in the water.

  Innumerable spiritual springs enveloped its right arm, causing that originally petrified arm to slowly recover.

  Roar...

  Zhu Yan let out a low growl, his expression extremely irritated. He raised his left arm and slammed it heavily onto the tree root beside him.

  Drip...

  After a violent shaking, a drop of green spiritual liquid dripped down from the roots of an enormous tree and fell into the Spiritual Spring. With the new spiritual liquid dripping in, the life energy within the pool became even more intense. The arm of the ancient demon Zhu Yan that was soaking in the pool water recovered even faster.

  "Monkey, today's spiritual liquid has been given to you, don't be greedy again!"

  Above, Ding Yan, who had been in a dormant state, suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of sharpness flashed through them.

  "Primordial Tree's Soul!"

  He didn't directly absorb the spiritual liquid just because he was considering the ancient tree's star soul.

  The ancient tree shook, countless withered leaves fell, and for a time, the withered leaves covered the entire ancient wood star, setting off a sky-full of leaf rain. On the main trunk of the ancient tree, a gigantic face emerged, surging with life energy that enveloped the entire planet.

  That was an old face, with dense wrinkles all over it, two tree-like eyebrows hanging vertically down, intertwined with those whiskers.

  "Roar!" Zhu Yan let out a loud bellow, as if he was conversing with this ancient tree's soul.

  An old face with a slightly furrowed brow, green air surging, on the trunk, the bark fell off, and an old man wrapped in green branches walked out of the tree trunk.

  "What kind of thing is this that I've encountered while I'm old and sleeping?"

  Zhu Yan roared, like an angry old tree, but people didn't believe him.

  "Alright, alright...... You've lived with this old man for so many years, how could I possibly not trust you." As he spoke, the withered left hand of Old Tree rested on the back of his right hand, a green aura spread out, and a withered vine grew from his palm, extending to the ground, finally transforming into a dragon-head cane.

  "The one above, please come down and sit for a while..." The old tree person ignored Zhu Yan Gu You and turned his head to look at the place where Ding Yan was hiding, saying.
