Following Bai Ye's words, everyone also looked up.
"Isn't it that the vitality has been wiped out?"
"Are those newly sprouted branches and leaves?"
"Is it still alive?"
"Fuck..."
Everyone was surprised and even more shocked.
The size of the big tree in front of you is enough to shock people.
It is rare to see such a thick tree in the outside world.
Even the tree people Xiao Chen and others had seen in Siam could not compare with the big tree in front of them.
It was completely charred and black, with no signs of life at all.
But there are green branches and leaves on its crown, showing its strong vitality.
They were all struck like this by lightning, and then they were reborn in Nirvana!
"That's why it's called the 'Thunder Strike Sacred Tree'."
Ding Wu introduced.
"It is said that a hundred years ago, it was dry and deserted, without any sign of life... Now, it has been reborn from nirvana."
"Thunder strikes the sacred tree, so that's it... Just based on its vitality, it can be called a 'sacred tree'."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"After passing the lightning-struck sacred tree, we have truly entered no man's land."
Ding Wu said again.
"There are more dangers."
"Um."
When Xiao Chen came closer, he felt a simple aura rushing towards his face.
This tree has existed for too long, definitely more than a thousand years.
As for the legend told by Ding Wu that cultivating one into a spirit would cause a catastrophe and wipe out one's vitality... he didn't quite believe it.
However, this big tree is definitely extraordinary.
It could also be that he was struck by lightning because he was too tall.
"The sacred tree struck by lightning is a bit special. Centered on it, about twenty meters is a safe zone."
Ding Wu saw that Xiao Chen was interested in the lightning-struck sacred tree and said again.
"None of those strange beasts, poisonous insects, etc. will get close to the Thunder Strike Sacred Tree..."
"oh?"
After hearing this, Xiao Chen became even more interested in lightning striking the sacred tree.
He raised his hand and touched the tree trunk gently, and found that there was no charcoal black color.
Although the tree trunk was struck by lightning, the surface may have been carbonized over countless years, and even has the touch of black jade.
"Brother Chen, I heard that lightning strikes wood to ward off evil spirits?"
Bai Ye and others also came over.
"There seems to be such a theory, but it's not really able to ward off evil spirits. It's hard to say..."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Maybe it contains the power of thunder, so some dirty things don't dare to get close..."
"Then the poisonous beasts and insects don't come close, is it because of the power of thunder?"
Bai Ye asked curiously.
"Probably not. These strange beasts are so powerful that they don't care about the power of thunder. Besides, after such a long time, even if they really have the power of thunder, there may not be much left."
When Xiao Chen said this, he looked at Lei Gong.
"Aren't we experts at playing with thunder? Old Thunder Chief, can you feel the power of thunder?"
"Yes, the thunder that struck this tree was definitely not an ordinary thunder. Now I doubt that the legend is true."
Lei Gong said seriously.
Everyone was surprised when they heard what Lei Gong said. Is the legend true?
"The tree trunk still contains a lot of thunder power...but you can't feel it."
Lei Gong said, raised his hand and pressed it on the tree trunk.
Soon, lightning flashed on his hand, forming thunderballs and making a whistling sound.
"These are the power of thunder that I extracted from the tree trunks... Xiao Chen, do we want to stay here for a while? If we stay for a while, I plan to practice some."
Lei Gong looked at Xiao Chen again and asked.
"Is it useful to you? Then rest for a while. It may be difficult to rest again when you enter no man's land."
Xiao Chen said.
"At least it's safe here."
"good."
Lei Gong said, leaning against the tree trunk, sitting cross-legged, and began to practice.
"As soon as we arrived in no man's land, Lei Gong had an opportunity."
Xue Chunqiu said, and touched the trunk of the tree. He felt nothing, so he gave up.
After all, he is not a thunder power user and cannot feel the power of thunder.
"Haha, I thought Senior Thunder Lord would face the lightning strike sacred tree and press his hands on the trunk."
Bai Ye smiled.
"It's different from what I imagined."
"You guys should also try it and see if you can feel the power of thunder..."
Xiao Chen looked at Lei Gong and said.
Then, he pressed his left hand on the tree trunk and ran the 'Chaos Art', letting his consciousness go out and feeling it carefully.
Needless to say, he felt something strange this time.
There seems to be infinite energy brewing in the trunk of this big tree, but it is completely different from the energy of the sacred monument.
That is the power of faith, and this should be the power of thunder.
Xiao Chen's heart moved. If there is really infinite power of thunder, then this big tree is definitely a treasure!
If it's a treasure, then... dig it away?
Xiao Chen's thoughts flashed across his mind, and he followed the old fortune teller's teachings and used his spiritual consciousness to communicate with the tree, just like communicating with a sacred monument.
Soon, he felt that he had entered a deserted space, pitch black.
"Is this a world among trees?"
Xiao Chen was overjoyed, no matter what, it proved that this tree was extraordinary.
Rumble...
Suddenly, the originally extremely quiet space heard the sound of thunder.
Immediately afterwards, lightning appeared out of thin air and surged outward.
However, it's not much, just a trace.
"Is Old Thunder Chief extracting the power of thunder?"
Xiao Chen guessed and walked forward along the thunder light.
Soon, his eyes widened and he saw a sea of thunder in front of him.
Although it is not too big compared to this black space, but compared to the thunder sea condensed by Thunder God... no, there is no comparison between the two.
The Thunder Sea is like a small puddle, and this is like a big lake, not on the same level.
"Many years ago, thunder struck this big tree and wiped out its vitality. However, the power of thunder has remained here, constantly destroying... No, it seems that the power of thunder is trapped here, and it is the trunk of the big tree.
What? It trapped the sea of thunder, and then Nirvana was reborn?"
Xiao Chen's various speculations, no matter what kind, made him very uneasy.
He didn't believe that legend just now, but now... he somewhat believes it.
"Take me out of here..."
Just when Xiao Chen came to the sea of thunder and wanted to try to see if he could swallow the power of thunder, suddenly such a voice came from the dark void.
This surprised Xiao Chen. Who is talking?
Then he realized that this was not talking to him, but an unknown consciousness in the dark void, touching his consciousness.
"who?"
Xiao Chen calmed his mind and expressed this thought.
"Who are you?"
"..."
No one responded.
"Is it an illusion?"
Xiao Chen looked around, thought for a while, and wanted to control this dark space with his consciousness, but found it difficult to do so.
"There is definitely a second consciousness here..."
Xiao Chen quickly came to the conclusion that there was the consciousness of the God of Light in front of the monument, and he could not control it.
Later, the old fortune teller erased the consciousness of the God of Light and taught him the method to control the divine monument.
When his consciousness enters the monument, he will have the feeling of "I am the master of this space" and can control the power of faith there.
But now, he can't do it.
Although I can't tell, this dark space has an owner, so I'm afraid it's similar.
"Could it be that a big tree turned into a spirit, gave birth to intelligence, and gave birth to consciousness?"
Xiao Chen couldn't help being startled and wanted to exit this dark space, but he was also a little curious.
He came in and gained nothing, so he left like this?
"Senior Dashu? Is that you?"
Xiao Chen's thoughts fluctuated again.
"Take me out of here..."
This time, when I got a response, I still repeated what I just said.
However, this time Xiao Chen was sure that it was not his illusion, but that he really had a consciousness communicating with him.
"Take you out of here? What do you mean? Leave this space? Or what?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Take me out of here..."
It was still the same reply without explaining too much for Xiao Chen.
"..."
Xiao Chen was speechless. If I don't understand this clearly, how can I help?
What if it is a dangerous existence?
Besides, how to take him away?
Should we take it out of this dark space or dig up the tree?
Although he had just thought about digging up the tree, he just thought about it. After all, the tree was too big... It was not easy to dig it out.
The roots of this tree may extend hundreds of meters, making it impossible to dig them out.
"Take me out of here..."
consciousness, reappearance.
"..."
Xiao Chen ignored this realization and continued to think about it.
This dark space is the space formed by the big trees, right?
It's not a thunder, or it's a tribulation space, right?
The two are completely different.
In the former case, the space formed by the big tree suppressed the power of thunder, and then allowed oneself to be reborn from nirvana.
It's like a person who has been poisoned. If the poison is suppressed and stored in a certain part, he can still live.
If it's the latter, then the heavenly tribulation formed a space and trapped the tree's soul and intelligence within it.
Dashu couldn't escape the catastrophe and asked him for help.
If this big tree is good, then it will be saved if it is saved.
What if they are taken out of this space and killed again... Who can withstand such a big tree and cause a disaster?
He doesn't have any confidence!
Just leave it alone, he felt bad, mainly because this big tree was so extraordinary, and he always thought about it if he didn't take away the good things when he saw them.
"Forget it, let's go out first and go to the top of the tree to observe..."
Xiao Chen decided to play it safe and not be too impulsive, lest he cause a big disaster.
Soon, he returned to consciousness and opened his eyes.
"I'll go up and have a look..."
Xiao Chen released his left hand from the tree trunk, said a few words, and flew into the air.
As he flew upward, he felt more vitality.
"You are truly reborn in Nirvana."
Xiao Chen said to himself, feeling a little admired in his heart.
After a few breaths, he arrived at the tree crown.
Even the charred branches are still extremely thick, and... extremely hard, and have not decayed due to carbonization.
"It's amazing."
Xiao Chen stepped on the branches and came to the new branch.
The branches are about the size of an ordinary tree, otherwise they would not be able to see them at a glance.
Xiao Chen's consciousness was released, and he didn't feel any power of thunder, but only the strong vitality.
"Gather all the vitality here and then be reborn in Nirvana?"
Xiao Chen stretched out his left hand and stroked the branches. This is the power of life!
