Tie Tang was sitting in the Juxian Courtyard, surrounded by many relatives and friends. In the center there was a towering sacred tree of 100 feet.
A large number of dead trees were thrown out, and the East China Sea Desolate Divine Tree did not reject anyone who came, and was quickly devouring it.
Every time it eats a piece, it will skyrocket to a thousand feet, thousands of feet, and then return to the size of a hundred feet. The green leaves on the branches are thicker and greener, like pieces of jade inlaid on it.
During this period.
Tie Tang casually picked up a piece of dead wood and looked at it.
It was an unintentional move, but it made him make a huge discovery.
In his eyes, the dead wood seemed to be independent of the world, incompatible with this place, or even this world.
"Um?"
"This tree..."
Tie Tang injected immortal power into it, restoring the dead wood to its true form.
Boom!
A huge shadow appeared in Chaoge, the holy capital, like a sky-supporting sacred tree appeared, suspended in the air, and stabbed directly into the nine heavens.
Even the boundary wall between the Immortal Court and the human world was pierced, attracting many Immortal Court gods to watch.
"This is not the East China Sea Wild Sacred Tree today!" Tie Tang confirmed.
Judging from the smell of dead wood, growth rings, and lingering avenues...
It lived for at least two million years before being cut off!
"Jiu Tong said that he was also of orthodox origin... Could it be that this was the sacred tree of the East China Sea in his time?
A different world?
But why does the same sacred tree appear?"
This discovery.
Let Tie Tang realize that the theory of 'sacred tree taboo' is not completely unbelievable.
The two sacred trees of the East China Sea from different worlds blend into each other without any inconsistency.
The sacred tree in the courtyard is rapidly growing stronger.
With a cultivation speed that far exceeds that of anyone else, it seems as if it is just restoring its original strength.
Tie Tang revealed his guess, which aroused everyone's discussion.
Feng Chengdao was the first to speak: "Master, if it was in that world, it would have lived for more than two million years.
Then...how strong should it be?
Maybe he has already entered transcendence, after all, the lifespan of a transcendent supreme being in the realm of annihilation is only a million years."
"Living for a long time does not mean that your strength will continue to improve!"
Regarding Tie Tang's statement, Li Geng had different opinions: "In addition to not being an innate thing, the East China Sea Desolate Divine Tree can also be regarded as the spiritual root of heaven and earth.
If it can really live for that long, I'm afraid it's not because the people in that world are kind.
But it is strong enough to prevent it from being cut off."
"What brother Taoist said makes sense."
Tie Tang agrees with this statement.
Compared to the East China Sea Desolate Sacred Tree here, it had been chopped down in ancient times.
How long was it then?
From the time when the heaven and earth were formed to when it was cut off, it took at most tens to millions of years.
Although this time is not short, it is obviously not as good as dead wood.
"No matter what, it is not a bad thing to have help from such spiritual beings. Other problems...just leave it to me to solve."
Tie Tang gave away all the dead wood.
This devouring.
It took ten days and ten nights to completely integrate the sacred trees of the East China Sea.
At the end.
Even the left and right prime ministers came to see it in person and were full of admiration.
Tie Tang also took the opportunity to mention the taboo of the sacred tree, but no one knew about it.
The Right Prime Minister sighed: "When I became an immortal, hundreds of thousands of years had passed since the sacred tree in the East China Sea was cut down.
I have never even seen its true form, so I may not know as much about it as you do."
He, Zuo Xiang, Shang Yue, Taibao and others once again brought up the choice of human emperor and strongly recommended Tie Tang.
But he was declined by Tie Tang!
"I have no power to take care of him. I can only cope with future changes by practicing with all my strength and improving my strength as much as possible."
The few people did not give up, but just left temporarily, preparing to wait for Tie Tang to achieve transcendence before persuading him.
After swallowing all the dead trees, the East China Sea Wild Divine Tree became extremely powerful.
Its branches waved like a real dragon flying around. It already had power comparable to the ultimate divine weapon, and its aura reached the ninth level of the Immortal Emperor.
Jiutong said that the sacred tree would be stronger than Tietang, and this was true.
Tie Tang stroked the sacred tree: "Your power comes too easily, and it goes against the principles of heaven and earth, little tree... I hope you and I never meet each other in war."
The sacred tree of the East China Sea lowered a few branches gently to build a throne, expressing his attitude.
This sacred tree was planted in Juxian Court, and Tie Tang's physical body could not accommodate it for the time being. Even if he suppressed it with all his strength, the height of the sacred tree in the East China Sea was eight hundred feet high.
So.
Juxian Court, and even the entire Taoyuan, became a new holy land for cultivation.
The sacred tree of the East China Sea is always exuding wisps of textures of heaven and earth. Even if many people cannot fully understand it, they can get a lot of insights just by staying here.
Tie Tang even received huge help from the sacred tree and easily entered the second level of the Immortal Emperor.
The obstacles of ordinary overlords and hundreds of thousands of years of hard work are simply not worth the help of the orthodox avenue and the sacred trees of the East China Sea.
Time is passing quickly.
In the cultivation of the Immortal Emperor Realm, several years or more may pass as soon as you close your eyes or open your eyes.
This kind of time is nothing to them, but for ordinary people in this world, it is enough to leave a new memory.
period.
Tie Tang invited Feng Bingyao to come to Taoyuan.
She has obtained different fortune-telling traditions, and now she has absorbed the divine tree's creation principles and principles, and her cultivation level is also rising rapidly.
God Emperor Sixth Heaven!
Seventh Heaven!
Eighth Heaven!
…
After Feng Bingyao was promoted to the ninth level of the God Emperor, she and Tie Tang came out of seclusion together.
At this time, six years have passed since Tie Tang left Shenzun Palace.
More than ten years have passed since he left the Eternal Palace.
And since he came to this world...
It’s been twenty years!
Twenty years of time have passed by, and everything seems like yesterday, just like a snap of a finger.
This time out.
Tie Tang's aura was even more unpredictable, and it was difficult for everyone to see through it. They were only sure that he was not transcendent.
Feng Bingyao also made great progress.
She is also an orthodox pioneer herself, but she lacks the orthodox status.
But compared to other side sects, she is different.
Because Tie Tang added "The Immortal Sutra of Creation" to the martial arts canon, which is equivalent to sharing some of the blessings of the orthodox.
these years.
There are countless people who have converted to the current orthodox tradition through the "Wu Dian", and there are also many people who have seen the Immortal Sutra of Creation and subsequently converted to practice the Taoism of Creation.
The Immortal Sutra of Creation is a side tradition.
In terms of inheritance, it has surpassed any side sect in the past and present. Perhaps even Shao Siming, the fleeting orthodoxy... is not as good as it.
As the leader of the Taoist tradition, Feng Bingyao naturally received great help.
Rao is so.
The speed of her cultivation advancement is still far inferior to that of Tie Tang, and she has only just entered the ninth level of the God Emperor.
There is still a long way to go before becoming a God-Emperor, let alone becoming an Immortal Emperor.
The two of them came out of isolation together this time, not as a huge breakthrough, but as a last resort.
because……
He Cailu, the leader of the Chixiao White Crane Clan, came and informed the world about the Red Lotus.
This innate spiritual root—
Be completely mature!
Tie Tang personally went to see it and determined that within ten days and a half at the earliest, the red lotus will mature and fall off, producing two innate Tao fruits.
“It’s very troublesome!”
Feng Bingyao, He Cailu, and Tie Tang were talking in a separate secret room.
"The new transcendent Supreme has never appeared so far."
"That is to say, we may have to face... all the peak immortal emperors in the Immortal Court, the Underworld, and even the human world!"
"That's not all. Maybe there will be a Transcendence Supreme to take action. After all, these peak Immortal Emperors also have power. The people behind them naturally hope that the new Transcendence is one of their own."
"The appearance of two Dao Fruits will inevitably attract everyone to fight for them. Maybe some of the 'own people' will take action."
Tie Tang and Feng Bingyao looked sad. It took more than two million years for their innate spiritual roots to produce two Tao fruits.
Unparalleled treasures are not enough to describe it!
Maybe this is the only time in all eternity.
Because this happens by chance.
If Red Lotus hadn't been robbed of its nine origins by Bone Palm when it was born, it wouldn't be in its current state.
It can be cultivated to an extremely powerful state, or at least transcendent, the same as the Ten Thousand Flowers Merit Lotus of Great Leiyin Temple.
Faced with the temptation of this Taoist fruit, Tie Tang could not trust anyone.
Even in Taoyuan, except for Li Geng, Wang Andao, Bi Qi, Ji Yingzhe, Long Yu, Li Yao and others, he did not dare to trust anyone else.
He Cailu had already anticipated today's situation, but when the day actually came, he could not stop trembling all over.
"Holy Lord, can our clan keep this thing?"
Feng Bingyao immediately responded: "Don't worry, unless I die, it should be yours, and no one else can take it away!"
Tie Tang pondered for a moment: "The innate spiritual root is mature and cannot be concealed from it at all. This is the most prosperous period of its life.
Best case scenario…
It is after it bears the fruit of the Tao that it emits breath.
Then we can arrange manpower to swallow the Dao Fruit in advance. Even this is not safe. In order to obtain the power of the innate Dao Fruit, they may take action to refine people into great medicine.
But compared to the next situation, this situation is much better.
If it spreads its aura before it matures and attracts the attention of the world... that will be the worst situation."
"Sure enough, we don't have enough blessings. We can't even seize this opportunity. Why is our clan so miserable?" He Cailu felt unwillingly.
Feng Bingyao made a suggestion: "Head of the Crane clan, you'd better select a clan member in advance and drink it immediately after the Dao fruit matures."
"I'm afraid...it can't be done!" Tie Tang waved his hand and vetoed the motion.
Seeing He Cailu showing confusion, he explained: "There are two innate Tao fruits, one for killing and one for creation.
Bingyao is compatible with the Dao Fruit of Creation, and her own strength is sufficient, so swallowing the Innate Dao Fruit will not cause any serious problems.
But……
There is no such person among the Chixiao White Crane clan yet.
Either.
He has strength above the fifth level of the Divine Emperor Realm.
Either.
Even if it is consistent with the avenue of killing, such an immortal overlord can barely be swallowed.
If anyone else is not strong enough and swallows it forcefully, they will only be eaten back by the Dao Fruit.
Especially the Killing Dao Fruit, which is extremely powerful. Without a strong enough desire to kill, one cannot control such an innate thing."
The Chixiao White Crane clan has strong financial resources, but not strong strength. The strongest person in the original clan is only as powerful as an immortal god overlord.
Since the emergence of the martial arts code, many tribesmen have converted to the current orthodox practice. Although their potential has been improved, their strength has been greatly reduced.
Within a short period of time.
There is simply no suitable candidate to be found to devour the Killing Dao Fruit.
He Cailu only pondered for a moment before making an astonishing decision.
"Holy Lord, I will give you the Dao Fruit. I only ask that you protect the safety of our clan."
An innate Dao fruit cost the Red Sky White Crane clan hundreds of thousands of years of hard work. The crane picked the green and gave it to him as soon as he asked, which shows his courage.
certainly.
This is also an investment, but if the bet is too large, it will be difficult to recover the capital.
But everything is worth it.
After all, that person——
It’s Tie Tang!
but.
As the beneficiary himself.
But Tie Tang shook his head and refused: "It would be a waste if I swallowed the Dao Fruit. What I lack now is not any heavenly material or earthly treasure, but time!"
He Cailu thought for a moment and then said: "I can sell this killing fruit. The Holy Lord will help me find someone who can pay the price."
"No!" Tie Tang refused again.
This move not only attracted the surprised gaze of He Cailu, but also Feng Bingyao was a little puzzled.
Tie Tang stood up, walked to He Cailu, and patted her shoulder.
"Head of the Crane Clan, your price was already given twenty years ago."
"That lotus seed... Tie still dares not forget it!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you. The remaining killing fruit... should belong to your clan, and no one can take it away!"
After saying that, he stood up and left, starting to make arrangements. There were only two people left in the room.
Crane picked green and burst into tears.
What used to be a casual move has now become the most solid backing for his clan.
She believes it.
Anyone else might not be able to resist the temptation of the innate Tao Fruit.
Even she herself planned to give away the Dao Fruit in exchange for barely equal value.
Only Tietang...
To do this!
"Now that he has made a decision, don't worry. Don't worry too much. Let's go. I will go with you to wait for the red lotus to mature."
Feng Bingyao led He Cailu through the two major formations to the place where the innate spiritual roots were located.
at the same time.
Tie Tang's first stop was Fang's house.
Fang Zongxiao personally went out to greet him and brought him into the inner hall.
"My father has reincarnated into his home and has regained most of his wisdom from his previous life. All thanks to the help of the Holy Lord who sacrificed his life!"
Confronting the Avenue of Destiny is something that even the Right Chancellor, the Emperor and the Immortal Emperor keep secret. It is also something that only Tie Tang dares to do and can do.
"Master Fang, you're welcome. You've also found a lot of spiritual soil for me over the years, which can be regarded as a clean slate."
Fang Zongxiao waved his hands hurriedly: "Holy Lord, don't try to hurt me. How can these spiritual creatures make up for this great kindness?"
Tie Tang smiled and said what he meant, regardless of whether it was true or false.
"Tie came to visit me today, and I have an unkind invitation."
Fang Zongxiao nodded without hesitation: "Holy Lord, it's okay to just say it."
"That's right, within ten days, there will be some changes in our Taoyuan, which may attract many young people.
Tie Mou implores...
The Fang family should not agree to anyone's request when the time comes, just sit back and watch."
"What's so difficult about this?" Fang Zongxiao agreed immediately without even thinking about it.
"It's hard!"
"Maybe... someone from the Fang family will take action against me by then."
Although Tie Tang did not tell anyone about the birth of Red Lotus, he did not hide the seriousness of the matter at all.
You can't hide it, otherwise things will change.
"this……"
Fang Zongxiao was silent this time.
He didn't know what the matter was specifically, but seeing Tie Tang's attitude, he knew that the matter was not trivial, and he probably couldn't even make the decision.
"If the Fang family doesn't take action this time, it will be considered that Tie owes you a favor!" Tie Tang certainly understands the difficulties faced by the head of the family.
Sometimes it's not personal reasons, but it's really about taking the overall situation into consideration.
A few moments.
Fang Zongxiao nodded heavily!
"Holy Lord, don't worry. I won't thank you for your kindness. I, Fang Zongxiao, owe you my life. No matter what happens, I guarantee that no one from the Fang family will set foot in Taoyuan!"
"good!"
After leaving the Fang family, Tie Tang came to another mansion.
He stood at the door, looking at the hanging plaque, and stopped moving forward.
