Shen Lang began to explain, saying that he was Yun Henzi's disciple, who came to look for the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag on his master's orders, and told the story of how he met Qing Ling in full.
After listening to Shen Lang's explanation, the female cultivator Xuying sighed slightly and said, "So that's it. Since Fellow Daoist Shen has such a connection with Ancestor Cai Ling, this little girl won't regard Fellow Daoist as an outsider."
"But before that, the little girl has something unclear. How did the two of them get through the maze of the Prison Tower and arrive at the Aoki Palace?" the female cultivator Xuying asked curiously.
Shen Lang completely told the story of how he and Hua Ziling entered the secret realm of Tianlei, and said that in the end, he relied on the soul defense power of Xinghuang Banner to withstand the divine light of the twelfth lunar cycle on the lotus platform in the center of the maze square. Li came to this palace.
"As expected of the fourth-ranked Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, the five-color divine flag really has such a miraculous ability that it can exempt two fellow Taoists from the divine light of lunar reincarnation on the lotus platform!"
The female cultivator Xuying was extremely surprised.
She once inherited the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag from Cai Ling's ancestor, but due to insufficient spiritual root potential points, it was not enough for the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag to recognize its owner, so this treasure could not exert any effect.
"Sorry, Shen has already taken away the Northern Xuanyuan water control flag from the waist of the Taoist friend's body, and also took your clothes..."
While saying this, Shen Lang looked at Hua Ziling on his back with an embarrassed look on his face.
Of course, the female cultivator Xuying noticed the wide-sleeved fairy skirt on Hua Ziling and said calmly: "The Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag was originally the master of Fellow Daoist Shen, and it is only natural that it should be returned to its original owner now. The little girl's physical body has long since collapsed, so the Immortal Skirt is of no use, so just treat it as a gift to fellow Taoist Shen."
Seeing that the other party thought she was Shen Lang's Taoist companion, Hua Ziling's pretty face felt slightly unnatural, but she was too lazy to explain anything.
Shen Lang clasped his fists and said: "That's it. Can you please explain the situation of this palace and the previous maze? What is going on?"
"Let me introduce myself first. The little girl's name is Feng Ling. As you can see, she is a soul body that has lost its physical body. The little girl entered the secret realm of Tianlei a hundred thousand years ago. At that time..."
Feng Ling began to explain everything in the Tianlei Secret Realm, including the secrets of this palace and the Lei Qilin clan.
Since ancient times, when the Lei Qilin clan settled in the Lei Punishment Islands, the Heavenly Thunder Secret Realm has existed.
Tianlei Secret Realm is an independent space opened up by a thunder unicorn demon cultivator in the Mahayana stage in ancient times. It serves as an important place of worship for the clan.
The most important palace in the Tianlei Secret Realm is the Aoki Palace. In the Aoki Palace, the sacred tree of the Lei Qilin clan, the "Aoki Ancestral Tree" is enshrined.
The Ancestral Tree of Aoki is regarded by the demon cultivators of the Lei Qilin clan as the source of continuing the life of the race!
"The Ancestral Greenwood Tree? Is it the tree of life that was born in the ancient spiritual world?" Shen Lang was surprised and couldn't help but interrupt Feng Ling's words.
Hua Ziling also looked surprised.
The Ancestral Greenwood tree mentioned by Feng Ling was so famous that both Shen Lang and Hua Ziling had heard about it.
It is said that this Aoki Ancestral Tree is a tree species that existed in the ancient spiritual world during the dawn of chaos. It is also called the "Ancestor of Ten Thousand Trees". Many wood spirit tribes in the ancient spiritual world prefer to call it the "Ancestor of Ten Thousand Trees". Call it the "Tree of Life."
The reason is that the Aoki Ancestral Tree itself has an extremely heaven-defying healing effect. Whether it is branches, leaves, trunks, bark, or roots, it can be used as a top-level healing medicine. The healing effect is far more powerful than that of Yushu Zhenshui. .It can be said that the healing effect of the Aoki Ancestral Tree's sap is as good as the healing effect of the top-level Shengyang War Qi!
In addition, the sap of the Aoki Ancestral Tree also has the magical effect of accelerating the growth of demon cultivators.
Legend has it that the young monsters that take the sap of the Aoki Ancestral Tree will grow to thousands of years old within a few months, and their cultivation will also increase accordingly, without any side effects!
For a powerful race such as the Lei Qilin clan, the Green Wood Ancestral Tree is really like a thing that defies the heavens. After taking this juice, the Lei Qilin whose cultivation level is only in the foundation building stage can quickly grow to the thousand-year-old god transformation stage within half a year.
level!
"Yes, it is the tree of life. The Ancestral Greenwood Tree contains extremely powerful abilities. No matter how serious the injury is, as long as the juice from the bark of the branches, trunk and bark is extracted, the injury of the injured person can be completely healed. In addition,
In addition, this tree can also have the heaven-defying effect of accelerating the growth of demon cultivators. Therefore, the Lei Qilin clan will respect it as a sacred tree!"
Feng Ling continued.
The Thunder Punishment Islands in ancient times were different from today. At that time, it was really a geomantic treasure land, which was extremely suitable for demon cultivators to live in. At that time, there were many powerful demon cultivators in the sea area around the Thunder Punishment Islands.
The Lei Qilin clan relied on the Ancestral Greenwood Tree to nourish a generation of demon cultivators, allowing the clan's power to grow rapidly. They successively destroyed several major demon cultivator forces in the sea and firmly occupied the Thunder Punishment Islands.
In the ancient spiritual world, all things strictly abide by the laws of heaven and earth, and it is impossible to break the balance of the power of the laws of the world.
Although the Aoki Ancestral Tree has incredible effects, its growth conditions are also incredible.
First, this tree needs a large amount of sunflower water essence and one-yuan heavy water to nourish it in order to survive.
Second, this tree needs to regularly absorb the living souls of powerful monks to maintain growth.
In order to continue the growth of the Aoki Ancestral Tree, the Lei Qilin clan in ancient times enshrined a heavenly spirit treasure "Prison Suppression Tower" in front of the ancestral tree. The strong men in the clan would regularly go to the waters around the Thunder Punishment Islands to capture those at the Void Refining Stage level.
The demon cultivator was imprisoned in the Prison Tower.
The maze that Shen Lang and Hua Ziling were in before was actually inside the Prison Suppression Tower. As for the lotus platform in the central square of the Prison Suppression Tower maze, it was actually a platform for soul sacrifices.
The spirit of the demon cultivator who enters the lotus platform will be transported to the Aoki Ancestral Tree on its own, and will be swallowed by the Ancestral Tree and used as nutrients for growth.
It is worth mentioning that the Prison Suppression Tower ranks 97th among the Heavenly Spiritual Treasures and is a kind of magic weapon that can trap people and seal people.
If someone activates this treasure, the Prison Suppression Tower can exert great attack power. If no one activates it, the Prison Suppression Tower is like a prison maze, used to imprison monks or demon cultivators trapped in the tower.
"Countless thousands of years have passed, and the Ancestral Aoki tree that the two fellow Taoists see now has long since died. The original Lei Qilin clan was also exterminated. Precisely because the Ancestral Aoki tree is dead, the little girl
My soul has not been swallowed by the ancestral tree and is wandering in this Qingmu Palace like a lonely ghost." Feng Ling laughed at herself.
"Where did fellow Taoist Feng Ling learn about these things?" Shen Lang couldn't help but ask.
"This Qingmu Palace was an important place for the Lei Qilin clan in the past. There are some records of the history and genealogy of the Lei Qilin clan stored in the palace, so the little girl knows these secrets. If you don't believe it, you can look through the jade stones placed on both sides of the palace.
