Going from Lingmu Realm to Jiushan Prefecture, you have to cross almost half of Shilin Prefecture.
Based on the normal flight speed of the Nascent Soul cultivator, it would take at least five or six days.
If Lin Ling took Li Fan to fly in the sky, it would probably take half a day.
But with the help of the power of the earth's veins, it was achieved almost in a moment.
What's more important is that it travels underground and quietly!
Nowadays, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association are in a state of confrontation, and the border between Shilin Prefecture and Jiushan Prefecture is guarded by multiple lines of defense.
However, when Li Fan and the others shuttled back and forth, neither party noticed at all.
"The power of earth veins is pure and exclusive. It seems that the Xuanhuang Realm has not yet found a way to travel safely through earth veins." Li Fan thought to himself as he recalled all the knowledge he had searched about earth veins before.
After arriving in Jiushan Prefecture, the flow of the ground veins seemed to be blocked by something.
All of a sudden it went from turbulent to soothing.
Li Fan also sensed uncomfortable emotions from Lin Ling.
Then he signaled her to return to the ground.
Before emerging from the ground, Li Fan carefully observed it. After making sure that there was no one else around, he emerged from the ground.
"The smell here is so uncomfortable." Lin Ling frowned slightly.
"Jiushan Prefecture is the transformation of the corpses of ancient strange beasts. It is normal for you to feel a little repelled by it." Li Fan roughly explained.
"Is such a large place transformed from corpses?" Lin Lingtong's eyes widened. "Then its strength must have been extremely terrifying during its lifetime. No wonder the seniors are restricted here..."
Lin Ling muttered.
"Senior?" Li Fan's heart suddenly jumped.
"Yes! I was able to run so fast underground just now, thanks to the help of my seniors!" Lin Ling said innocently.
As she spoke, she took out a branch and showed off proudly: "Master, look, this is the gift given to me by my senior."
Li Fan couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
The branches are withered and yellow, but it is different from the appearance of life gone. It is caused by the perennial infiltration of the power of the earth's veins. From it, it seems that the vigorous and powerful power of the earth's veins can be sensed.
Li Fan had seen this branch before.
It was at the time of the 115th birth that he was in Ximenyu's cave in Yueyang Prefecture.
"Leyline Tree?"
He immediately remembered Ximen Yu's speculation about the origin of this tree.
Back then, Ruomu was severely injured by the monks, and some huge trunks fell off from the body and fell into the world.
After several years of reproduction, each of them evolved into a different ancient tree.
This leyline tree is one of them.
Growing upside down, the roots of the ancient tree spread all over the Xuanhuang Realm.
"How did you communicate with that [senior]?" Li Fan looked at Lin Ling and asked.
Lin Ling tilted her head and glanced at Li Fan. She didn't seem to understand what Li Fan meant.
After a while, she simply transmitted the entire process of her communication with the ancient tree of the earth to Li Fan.
The communication between ancient trees is different from that between humans.
Almost as soon as they reached the earth's veins, the two had already created an induction and connection.
And within a very short time, the information exchange was completed.
For Lin Ling, the newly born descendant, the ancient tree of the earth showed great affection.
Not only did he not attack her, he also took the initiative to help her.
At the same time, Lin Ling also learned about several other ancient trees in the Xuanhuang Realm from the ancient trees in the ground.
The first is Ruomu, the oldest in the world and the ancestor of all spirits...
The ancient tree of the earth vein did not tell Lin Ling his name.
He just warned the forest spirit that the mother tree's temperament had changed drastically and was moody. Even if the tree spirits were of the same kind, he would not look at it differently. On the contrary, he might devour them, scattered ancient trees, to nourish himself.
Just stay as far away as possible.
Then there are two existences of the same type as the ancient trees of the ground.
They were all the strongest ones that broke away from Ruomu back then.
One is [Wanling Ancient Tree], and the other is [Tianhua Ancient Tree].
Although the two come from the same source, they have taken completely opposite paths.
All ancient trees choose to reproduce themselves as much as possible.
There are countless branches scattered around the world.
Even if it suffers a disaster, as long as one plant survives and is given enough time, it will grow back.
However, Tianhua Ancient Tree is following the path of [All Dharmas Unify].
Keep shrinking and refining yourself. Thinking that one day, you can return to an existence like [Ruomu].
…
Some picture information about the [Ten Thousand Spirits Ancient Tree] and [Tianhua Ancient Tree] flashed in Li Fan's mind.
What surprised him was that he had actually come into contact with both of them during his reincarnation experience here.
The branches of the Ancient Wanling Tree were apparently the same material used by Jiao Xiuyuan to refine his clones.
"The branches are spreading and the leaves are scattered all over. It is vaguely consistent with Taoist Jiao's [Thousands of Puppet Paths]."
"I just don't know what the relationship is between Jiao Xiuyuan himself and the Wanling Ancient Tree."
As for Tianhua Ancient Tree, Li Fan had only met once.
That was the big tree with a human face that I saw in Qingfeng Hall, a lending organization on Wanxian Island.
In the 115th life, the Five Elders raided Wanxian Island and wanted to relocate the entire island.
At that time, the entire space was blocked, and all communication and transmission methods failed.
Li Fan paid a lot of money to find out how to escape from Jiao Xiuyuan.
It was through Qingfeng Hall that he successfully escaped.
"This big tree with a human face is one of the several sub-bodies of the ancient Tianhua tree."
"That female voice is with the spirit tree. But I don't know who it is."
…
Except for these two powerful ancient trees.
The Earthline Ancient Tree also introduced Lin Ling to several juniors who were one level weaker.
Like Lin Ling, they are all trees in the world, giving birth to their own spiritual wisdom.
Most of them hide in the caves and small worlds in the Xuanhuang Realm.
The cave sky and the small world rest on Xuanhuang, so these spiritual trees can also be vaguely connected to the ancient trees of the earth.
However, Lin Ling was the first person to be able to transform and walk out on his own.
So the Earth Vein Ancient Tree was very excited.
As for Lin Ling being under the control of the monks, the ancient tree of the earth didn't seem to care much.
I just want to remind Lin Ling that every spiritual tree in the world has its own destiny.
Just follow your innermost thoughts and practice.
Lin Ling, who was just born, naturally seemed to understand but didn't understand, and just complied obediently.
…
"I didn't expect that so many things happened in a blink of an eye."
"It's still without me noticing at all. Even if I can completely control Lin Ling, it will be the same."
"The ancient tree's methods are really mysterious."
"Fortunately, both the ancient trees in this area and the Lin Ling have relatively gentle temperaments. Unlike Ruo Mu, who is very extreme."
"Otherwise, they will join forces to plot against me behind my back..."
