It seemed like a hallucination, but also seemed real. When Chen Muyu went to investigate, there was no trace.
"I don't know which friend you are, why should you hide your head and show your tail?"
Chen Muyu said lightly that he was also a skilled and bold person now and had no fear of the other party's background.
However, just as Chen Muyu finished speaking, the surrounding space suddenly fluctuated.
The surrounding environment became extremely dark, as if entering an unknown space, and all of a sudden, the scene was changed.
The palace disappeared, but what appeared in front of Chen Muyu was a huge mountain.
An extremely high mountain.
The mountain goes straight up, like a sharp sword, thrust directly into the sky.
This is not an illusion, but a real being brought into another space.
"Junior, please come forward!"
A voice came from the depths of the dense forest ahead.
There was a bit of confusion in the vicissitudes of life, as if an old man was whispering in his ear.
"Who are you?"
Chen Muyu immediately used his spiritual mind to explore the source of the sound.
However, I encountered obstacles, couldn't find anything, and didn't find anything.
"Come here, won't you know if you come here?"
The voice came again.
"Ah!"
Chen Muyu smiled and said, "Your Excellency is very capable. I'm afraid you are not a strong man who has perfected the Holy Lord Realm, right?"
These words were a test, and the presence of the other party made Chen Muyu feel a little unsure.
"hehe!"
The man smiled softly, "Are you afraid?"
Is it a provocative method?
Chen Muyu sneered, "Don't tell me, I'll just do it."
At that moment, Chen Muyu raised his legs and walked towards the secret forest where the sound came from.
He wanted to see who it was that was pretending to be a ghost here.
A moment later, deep in the jungle, a high platform like an altar appeared in front of Chen Muyu.
It was a simple high platform, and an old tree grew on the high platform.
This tree is as tall as a canopy and is very huge.
However, it is obviously a bit old, many branches are dead, the surroundings are full of fallen leaves, and few branches are green anymore.
"Junior, you are here!"
An old face appeared on the dry tree trunk, "I thought I couldn't wait until the newcomer arrived!"
"Who are you……"
Chen Muyu looked at the tree in surprise.
He could feel that there was a very powerful aura in this tree, but this aura already had a lifeless aspect, like a shaky old man who had entered the final years of his life.
"I am the only survivor of the Kuishan Sect, you can call me Mr. Huai!"
"Lao Huai?"
Chen Muyu raised his eyebrows, "What are you doing here?"
The only survivor of the Kuishan Sect? Sounds a bit important.
But what Chen Muyu is very curious about is why he is here?
This old tree is probably at the peak of the Holy Lord Realm in terms of strength. Isn't it easy to leave here?
The old tree said, "I have my mission. Can you tell me what your name is?"
"Chen Muyu!"
"oh!"
The face on the tree trunk nodded slightly, "What are you doing here at Kuishan Sect?"
Chen Muyu spread his hands and said, "Those who came here with my friends said that the Kuishan Sect is the largest force in the southern world. They are fascinated by it, so they came to take a look and take a chance!"
"hehe!"
The old man smiled softly, "You were looking for a chance and met me. You have found the right person..."
"Huh?" Chen Muyu looked at him in astonishment.
The old man said, "Junior, can you do me a favor? I can give you some blessings!"
Chen Muyu raised his eyebrows, "Help? I'm afraid it's not easy to help in such a busy time, right?"
"It's just a piece of cake!" the old man said.
Chen Muyu smiled, "Tell me more!"
The old man said, "Under my tree, there is a stone box. Please help me send it to the Western Continent and give it to a monk named Ling Kuang..."
"Why don't you go by yourself?"
"I?"
The old man smiled bitterly, "I want to go too, but I am too ambitious but not strong enough. There is a curse on me that prevents me from leaving this place. Moreover, you should be able to see that my lifespan is almost at its limit!"
Chen Muyu frowned, "Your Excellency should be at the peak of the Holy Lord Realm at least. In such a realm, lifespan is almost endless, so why is it so fast?"
"You also said that it's just almost endless, but how can it be really endless?"
Chen Muyu found it even more strange. It was almost endless. It was just an understatement. It was almost impossible for a strong person at the peak of the Holy Lord Realm to die of old age.
"How long have you lived?" Chen Muyu asked immediately.
"well!"
The old tree sighed, "I can't remember how long it was. I only know that at that time, the world was in chaos, and the Sifang Continent was still a whole. Holy Lord Tianhong must be planning his grand plan to unify the world!"
"oh?"
Chen Muyu's eyes moved slightly, "Are you from the era of Holy Lord Tianhong?"
"You can say that!" said the old tree.
"That's not right either!"
Chen Muyu shook his head, "Even if the era of Holy Lord Tianhong is indeed long enough, it is not long enough to exhaust your lifespan!"
At this point, Chen Muyu seemed to have discovered something was wrong, "Is there something taking your life?"
At this time, Chen Muyu could clearly feel that the energy in the old tree was being extracted by something at the bottom of the tree.
This may be the reason why the longevity of the old tree is cut off.
When Laoshu heard this, he just smiled and didn't explain too much!
"What is it?"
He felt very strange that something was absorbing the vitality of the old tree. This was nothing. The key point was that the old tree had no intention of resisting at all.
He could even feel that the old tree was deliberately sending life to that thing.
Chen Muyu didn't know what that thing was, but when his spiritual mind probed it, it was bounced away by a powerful force.
The old tree smiled slightly, "That's what I told you, the stone box."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground surged, and thick tree roots burst out of the ground.
Like giant pythons, they kept tumbling.
And among the vines, there was a simple stone box, tightly attached to the vines.
It is this thing that is sucking away the little vitality left in the old trees.
After a moment, a few tree vines held the stone box in the air.
Chen Muyu didn't dare to reach out and touch it.
"What's in the box?" Chen Muyu asked immediately.
"You can send this old friend's relic to the Western Continent and give it to the person I mentioned!"
Do you think you can use me as a courier?
Even if it's a courier, I have the right to know what's in your box, right?
Chen Muyu shook his head, "Open it and let me take a look, otherwise, you can find someone else!"
The old tree was silent for a moment.
It seems to be a compromise.
The box opened slowly.
Chen Muyu felt a powerful surge of vitality coming towards him.
I saw that the stone box was covered with a layer of soil, brown soil, and in the middle of this layer of soil, a green grass grew.
A very small grass seems to have just sprouted, but the vitality that emerges from it is extremely terrifying.
The next second, the stone box was closed!
"Where did this grass come from?" Chen Muyu asked.
The old tree said, "There is no need to ask about the origin. It is just a spiritual plant, a relic of an old friend. Little brother, can you do me a favor and take a trip to the Western Continent..."
The old tree's face was full of begging.
Chen Muyu asked, "What's the benefit?"
Pretending to be pitiful won't work. If you want me to deliver express for you, you have to pay me some delivery fee.
For Chen Muyu, as long as the price is right, everything is easy.
The old man immediately said, "As long as my little brother is willing to help, I will give you the core of the locust tree I have cultivated all my life!"
"Core of locust wood?"
Chen Muyu was shocked. He had just heard of a willow core, and now a locust core appeared.
The old man said, "Although Laochan's cultivation has been damaged a lot over the years, it is still no problem for Laochan's core of locust wood to help you reach the peak of the Holy Lord Realm."
He could see that Chen Muyu's realm was only at the early stage of the Holy Lord Realm.
Hearing the old man's words, Chen Muyu thought, that is to say, this old man is probably a perfect being in the Holy Lord realm.
At least, it used to be.
"If you give me the core of the locust tree, what will you do?" Chen Muyu asked.
The old tree said, "My life is approaching, and it is useless to keep this cultivation. Little brother, if you are willing, I can give you the core of the locust tree now."
Chen Muyu frowned and had to say that the conditions offered by Laoshu were extremely tempting.
"Are you really willing to give up?" Chen Muyu didn't believe it.
"Of course I'm willing to give it up."
The old tree is determined.
Chen Muyu hesitated slightly, "Okay, I can help you..."
"good."
The old tree breathed a sigh of relief, and then a green light rushed towards Chen Muyu.
The incident happened so suddenly that Chen Muyu had no time to react, and the green light hit his arm instantly.
Chen Muyu felt an inexplicable heat coming from his arms.
The heat surged, and soon a leaf pattern appeared on the tiger's mouth of his right hand.
"what?"
Chen Muyu frowned and looked up at the old tree in front of him.
"Don't be nervous."
The old tree said, "You can think of it as some kind of curse. When you complete the task, it will disappear naturally. Of course, if you break your promise, this curse will generate boundless karmic fire and burn you directly..."
"
"Don't underestimate its power."
Laoshu added.
Chen Muyu touched the pattern at the tiger's mouth and it was still a little hot.
I knew it wouldn't be that simple.
He can't trust the other party, and the other party is also wary of him and has no means to restrain him. If he takes something and runs away, who can he talk to to reason?
"What if the person you mentioned cannot be found?" Chen Muyu asked.
If no one can be found, does that mean the task cannot be completed?
The old tree said, "If you can't find it, then you can find a mountain forest in the western continent and plant the plant in the box..."
"Is it that simple?" Chen Muyu was surprised.
"It's that simple."
Laoshu sighed, "This can be regarded as an explanation for my old friend."
Chen Muyu's face looked a little solemn. He didn't know who the old friend in Lao Shu's mouth was, and he wasn't that interested in it.
However, he was very interested in the grass in the box.
What on earth is this thing that is worthy of a perfect being in the Holy Lord Realm willing to risk his own life to support it?
Just when he was about to ask, he saw the old tree holding the box into the air, shining brightly.
Waves of energy were quickly poured into the box.
vitality!
He is delivering life.
The old tree withered quickly, its vitality was quickly cut off, and the remaining leaves on the tree fell rustlingly.
The branches are dry and the bark is withered.
Not long after, the tree trunk collapsed from the middle, and a piece of green, glowing wood was revealed from the trunk.
The core of locust wood!
At the same time, those tree roots also lost their vitality, completely dried up and became fixed in place.
"Little brother, please!"
In the dark, the sound of the old tree could be heard.
A gust of wind blew by, and the dead trees turned into dots of stars and flew away.
In front of Chen Muyu, only the stone box and the core of the locust wood were left.
Chen Muyu stretched out his hand, and two things, one on the left and one on the right, appeared in his hands.
I looked up and saw that the old tree had disappeared.
I haven't even asked clearly yet.
After standing still for a long time, Chen Muyu came to his senses, waved his sleeves, opened the space, and appeared in front of the mountain gate of Kuishan Sect again.
For no reason, I even took an order.
Chen Muyu was a little bit dumbfounded. The key point was that he hadn't asked anything clearly. The origin of the things in this box was still unknown.
Western Continent, he said, who are you giving this box to?
Frown slightly.
After this matter was settled, he still had to go to the Western Continent.
This Western Continent is not the Western World of the Eastern Continent, but another continent that exists in the West.
Needless to say, the distance took him several months to get here from the Southern Continent, and the Western Continent would only be further away.
Isn't this causing trouble for me?
Touching the curse pattern on the tiger's mouth, Chen Muyu smiled bitterly and said, "What the hell is this!"
Fortunately, I earned a locust wood core, but I don’t know if it is that valuable.
You still have to find time to study it.
"stop!"
A sharp shout came.
Chen Muyu was about to leave when he was startled by the sudden sound.
When he realized it, two people were already standing in front of him.
Manshan and Mingang.
Chen Muyu raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean? You two are of noble character, do you want to come and see me off in person?"
"snort!"
Min Gang snorted coldly, "Huh, what's the reason for the space fluctuation here just now?"
Chen Muyu smiled, "Do I need to tell you?"
"explain!"
Manshan shouted angrily.
The two of them took a stance, already sandwiching Chen Muyu in the middle, and were ready to take action at any time.
"What do you mean? Do you want to take action?"
Chen Muyu was not afraid at all.
Min Gang said, "What happened here just now? If you tell me, you may be spared from death!"
"Ha ha!"
Chen Muyu laughed loudly, "What else could happen? I found a huge hidden treasure. It's a pity that it's not your share. Aren't you very angry?"
When the two of them heard this, their faces turned dark instantly.
They all could tell that Chen Muyu was teasing them, but they could clearly sense the space fluctuations here just now, and they also sensed a huge vitality.
In other words, this guy must have encountered some unknown opportunity.
