"... But I don't know how many years my master has been away. The earth energy here has gradually become unbalanced. In addition to the two powerful beasts raised by the master, I came down for many years. In addition to the Moon Secluded Realm, which can also maintain the existence of water spirits because of the Thoreau Tree, the outside has become surrounded by monsters, and it is even more hot..."

Chu Hanjing slowly told Pei Chen and the others about the history of this place.

"Around monsters?" Pei Chen's expression was a little subtle, "By the way, you should have existed for a long time, right? Do you also know the existence of the demon clan?"

Chu Hanjing's expression changed slightly, and he said unnaturally: "Your Masayoshi's eyes are not bad. We sisters are indeed the Thoreau Tree Immortals here... At the beginning, the master injected spiritual power into this tree, making us a semi-immortal body, but there was only cold air in our bodies. At first, we sisters could not maintain human form for a long time. After practicing for thousands of years, we finally could do it, but the outside became surrounded by monsters, and it was even more hot..."

"But this does not explain why you know the existence of the demon clan, right? Shennong created the beast clan at the beginning, and... in Shennong's era, the so-called "immortal" should not have appeared, right?" Pei Chen shook his head and pointed out the loopholes in Chu Hanjing's words.

“…”

Chu Hanjing's expression became more and more unnatural: "I don't understand what you mean...but the master also raised many beasts in the cave, and these beasts eventually turned into monsters..."

"Did it involve Shennong's secret? So you refused to say it?" Pei Chen continued to ask curiously, "Hehe, how to say it, girl, the beasts outside did not become monsters, they didn't even have demonic energy... I am a monster like me."

As he said that, he slightly urged his own demonic aura, and Chu Hanjing's face turned pale in an instant. However, the girl just looked at him in surprise and doubt, and finally shook her head and refused to say anything. No matter how much Pei Chen asked her, she would just turn her face away. It seemed that she didn't plan to continue talking about this issue...

After all, although she has survived for a long time, she has always been in this moonlight realm. In her life, she has only contacted Shennong except Chu Bihen. How could she know how to conceal certain information and get back the lies without a teacher?

It would be better to just act like "I don't want to talk to you." This would be more beneficial to keeping the secret.

"Okay, let's continue the previous topic?" Pei Chen said helplessly. He found that once he was talking about this topic that might involve Shennong's last whereabouts, Chu Hanjing was always secretive and refused to reveal a word. After several consecutive tests, he also understood the topic at the end. The other party did not give a small arrow to continue the conversation.

"Where does this road lead to?"

"..." Chu Hanjing glanced at Pei Chen, looked at another portal he pointed to, and nodded and said, "That... I advise you not to go in any direction. It is the owner's beast garden, and there is a fire-type beast that is imprisoned there..."

...

...

Half an hour later.

"OK, Kikyo, prepare to leave..." Pei Chen greeted the witch happily, and then the two of them walked through a gateway in the complex eyes of the two Thoreau tree immortals and embarked on the road to the main medicinal field that is said to be Shennong's.

At this time, Chu Hanjing looked at Chu Bihen who had been standing in the distance and seemed to be sulking: "Bihen, you have also seen that they did not come for the stone, nor did they intend to help us. They just wanted to explore the thing that happened back then... Just give up, I won't agree..."

"..." Chu Bihen.

"Bihen?" Chu Hanjing was a little surprised.

"…Woo…” Chu Bihen actually raised his sleeve and wiped his tears, and his voice began to sob.

"Bihen?! Why are you crying?" Chu Hanjing was shocked, and at the same time she felt a chill. She knew that what she said had not touched her sister's heart, and Chu Bihen was still unwilling to accept it.

"You will always say no, no! But do you know how painful I am?!" Chu Bihen cried loudly, tears falling down, "I want to see what it looks like outside the cave, instead of staying here forever, and always facing the same person!"

"..." Chu Hanjing.

"Sister, you are so cold again... The moonlight realm is surrounded by lava on all sides, but my heart, my heart has long been frozen into ice!"

"Bihen..." Chu Hanjing smiled bitterly. So she has always thought so? What is the situation she has been doing and the hard work of maintaining?

...

...

"I really don't care about them?" Kikyo asked suddenly, her black jade-like eyes staring at the figure of the monster walking in front of her.

"It's not that I don't want to care, but I can't care..." Pei Chen seemed to have known that she would say that. He walked in front of him without even turning his head, and said with his hands behind his head, "This is a fundamental problem, that is, Shennong did not expect that a tree would have born two tree immortals, which was very contrary to the norm, but there was only one roasted stone, which could only be used by one person... The so-called world is nothing, the moon is full and waning, so they both survived and died, which is a natural principle..."

"Is there no way?" Kikyo asked softly.

"No, at least I don't know what to do... Once they want to use the Chisel Stone, they will definitely end up with one person becoming an immortal and the other disappearing. And only if they have a kind heart and a combination of Chisel Stone, they can become an immortal..." Pei Chen turned around and looked at Kikyo, "It's impossible for Chu Bihen. She is too selfish. She still insists on doing it even though she knows that becoming an immortal will lead to her sister's death. And she doesn't think that her actions are wrong... Chu Hanjing loves her sister too much, and it's even more impossible to let her leave her sister to become an immortal..."

"you mean……"

"That's right, either they will continue to be stalemate like this, or they will die and go to the underworld together... Maybe they will be sisters again in the next life?" Pei Chen shrugged and said jokingly. "Shennong, he was unable to find a solution, or there is a solution but it is useless. Otherwise, how could they be in such a situation today?"

The witch remained silent. She didn't understand how the so-called earthly immortals and celestial immortals were divided and what kind of system it was, but she felt a little unwilling to be able to do anything about her powerlessness. But Pei Chen also made it clear that the two of them could think of Shennong could not have imagined, but even the ancestor god did not do anything, but it was probably because of his deep meaning...

"But I also found a lot of suspicious information!" Pei Chen pinched his chin and said, "If there is no accident, it is certain that Shennong's real disappearance was actually after the appearance of the demon clan and the humans who cultivated immortals? He must have returned to Shennong Cave once after that time and finally took care of the two tree immortals. Otherwise, it would not explain why they have never been out but can know about the demon clan... Well, as for the earth immortals, I am not sure if it was a species that appeared after humans cultivated immortals. This is not included..."

But what is certain is that he has actually disappeared after that and never appeared again... Speaking of which, the Three Ancient Emperors seem to have disappeared now, except for the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, both the Human Emperor Nuwa and the Demon Emperor Shennong have disappeared? Is it okay for Shennong to say that the demon clan has always respected him as the Demon Emperor, and Nuwa is even more miserable-

Because at this time, the Three Emperors Hall on the Immortal Sword Sect worships the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, Yan Emperor Shennong and Huang Emperor Xuanyuan. The Shushan Sect, which became the spokesperson of the God Realm, decisively rejected its creators and denounced them as evil demons and heretics, was not the righteous god in the heavenly world, but instead pushed the former number one god in the heavenly world to the position of the human emperor...

I don’t know if they really don’t know or have been despised by interests?

Thinking of the details that the Shushan School had been unable to get along with Nuwa's descendants in the plots of the past dynasties, Pei Chen couldn't help but speculate on them with the greatest malice: Could it be that he was afraid of seeing his ancestor because of some reason that was not worthy of being outsiders, so in the mind of becoming a grudge, he wanted to kill Nuwa's descendants when he saw Nuwa's descendants crazy?

Pei Chen raised his fist and shook it in the air a few times: "Forget it, let's complete our mission first. Kikyo's Fire Spirit collection items should meet the requirements, right? I remember that there are more than twenty more?"

"It's thirty-one." Kikyo said concisely.

"Is that so, why are there too many more?" Pei Chen muttered, then shook his head, "That's good, you should have heard that this place is not the only place where the power of fire spirit is prevalent. It used to be a treasure land tuned by the five spirits, but now the earth energy is unbalanced, but not all places are like this. I don't believe that the medicine field of Shennong's great god will be destroyed by earth fire..."

"I understand, but there is no need to force it. Time still has no need to take risks..." Kikyo's voice was as plain as water, but it no longer had the cold feeling of the past.

"That's right, but wouldn't it be better if you can complete the Five Spirits mission here... If your restrictions are lifted, you can exert power comparable to five-stars. In that case, we will have a certain degree of confidence in exploring the secret path..." Pei Chen touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly.

After all, it feels embarrassing to use the power of girls to protect them or something!

"You are going to the last road?" The witch's delicate eyebrows suddenly rose.

The last road was actually the portal that Pei Chen only asked about last. Even Chu Hanjing couldn't tell the reason. Unlike other portals, whether it was the medicine garden, beast garden or flame cave, they could tell a rough idea. Not only were they secretive about it, but they also tried their best to stop Pei Chen and the others from exploring it, saying that even they were repeatedly warned by their masters that they were not allowed to enter it privately.

Kikyo thought it would be better for her to not try to touch those possible taboos. The characteristics of many monsters in this cave made her feel a headache. If she put them in the Warring States Period, she could dominate the mountain and become the king... Moreover, her spiritual sense was constantly warning, indicating that there were other powerful monsters in the cave.

Under such circumstances, the guy in front of him had to carelessly explore a more mysterious and profound place?

In an instant, the witch's eyes when she looked at Pei Chen's back became unkind.

"Why did Chu Hanjing think that those beasts have become demons after cultivating? She has never seen the demons before. Could it be that this is the one-sided feeling? So is it that those beasts have changed something that she is not familiar with before? So she combined her own information to judge that those guys have become demons... Ahem, why do you think of me like this?"

Pei Chen, who was analyzing the current situation casually, suddenly froze the expression on his face. He suddenly noticed that a sudden inexplicable chill climbed up along his backbone.

What I looked back was the black jade-like eyes of Kikyo without any emotion.
