Perhaps it is because the Aoki World is on the verge of collapse. The sky in this world is no longer blue, but as dark as ink. It seems that in the center of this world, there is only eternal night, giving people an extremely depressing feeling.
However, amidst this depression, there is a picturesque garden. In the center of this garden, stands a sacred tree. Even though the world has lost its vitality, this sacred tree is still lush and green, with a towering crown.
.
Even though the Aoki World has been ruined, there is still an extremely rich essence of heaven and earth in this garden, which makes people feel comfortable and relaxed, and feels like they have ascended to immortality.
"The sacred tree is still immortal, but the world is about to collapse, and I can't save anything..."
A girl wearing a light green dress knelt down under the sacred tree. Her long silver hair was spread out on the ground, like a piece of scattered silver.
Seen from behind, this girl has a slender jade neck and small white ears. She looks like an elf hiding in the forest.
The girl knelt down for a long time before slowly getting up. She could feel that this sacred tree was integrated with the earth of the Aoki world. It was like a blue dragon, standing on this world forever. From this
It was planted when the world was born, until the world was on the verge of destruction.
In the past long years, this sacred tree has been the patron saint of their Shenmu Palace, and it has been with the Shenmu Palace.
The Shenmu Palace is a hidden sect. There are many hidden sects in the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Heaven. The Immortal Rain Sect and the Shenmu Palace are one of them. When the Shenmu Palace was at its peak, its scale exceeded the Immortal Rain Sect.
However, even in its heyday, the Shenmu Palace had little contact with the outside world. For the past hundreds of millions of years, the disciples of the Shenmu Palace had hidden themselves in the great world of Aoki, focusing on cultivation.
According to the historical records of Shenmu Palace, Shenmu Palace suffered a disaster hundreds of millions of years ago, but because of the existence of this sacred tree, this disaster was averted.
Because of these, the sacred tree is the supreme ancestral totem in the Shenmu Palace.
However, although Shenmu Palace regards this sacred tree as its guardian spirit, the people in Shenmu Palace know that this sacred tree has never belonged to them.
The Divine Tree belongs to the Greenwood World. It is even possible that the Divine Tree is the master of the Greenwood World. Hundreds of millions of years ago, the Divine Tree Palace suffered a catastrophe, and the Divine Tree protected them. It was the kindness of the Divine Tree. It is said that the Divine Tree Palace was at that time
The female palace mistress knelt under the sacred tree for three days and three nights. Finally, she activated the power of the sacred tree and resolved the disaster.
What kind of scene that would be, the girl couldn't imagine.
According to the records in the classics, from then on, most of the palace owners of the Shenmu Palace were women. The elders of the Shenmu Palace were looking forward to the day when a talented girl would be able to activate the power of the sacred tree. However...
This miracle never happened again.
Until later, the Aoki World slowly came to the end of its life. The vitality of the world became violent and was no longer suitable for cultivation. The Shenmu Palace also gradually declined. There were fewer and fewer masters and the talents gradually withered. Finally, something happened in the Shenmu Palace.
After the split, some people left the great world of Aoki. They went out to establish themselves, but encountered unexpected events and were destroyed.
The group of people left behind clung to the great world of Aoki, but the number of people was getting smaller and smaller. By the time it was passed to the girl's generation, there were only a few people left.
Since the decline of the Divine Tree Palace, the Divine Tree has never taken action again.
The girl once fantasized about whether she could imitate her ancestors and awaken the power of the sacred tree. However, no matter how she tried, there was no result.
For example, today, she had been praying in front of the sacred tree for several hours. The sacred tree remained motionless, ignoring everything in the world.
"Young Master, those people are here again..."
Behind the girl, a white-haired old woman walked in and said in a hoarse voice.
This old man looks to be in his final years, and her eyes are a little cloudy. She is an old servant of the Shenmu Palace, and she usually serves the green-haired girl.
"Master is no longer here, and I'm afraid I won't be able to stop them with just the formation of the Aoki Divine Palace."
The girl frowned slightly. The Aoki World was originally completely hidden. However, as the Aoki World gradually came to the verge of destruction, the space barrier became looser and was finally discovered by some people. Therefore, some people regarded this place as a ruin to explore, and
Since ancient times, the treasures and inheritance left behind by Shenmu Palace are indeed an endless treasure. If they are obtained by outsiders, it will be a great opportunity.
The Shenmu Palace has long since declined. Tens of thousands of years ago, the girl's master was still in charge. Relying on the formations left by the ancestors, those people gained very little and preserved most of the inheritance of the Shenmu Palace.
But now... the master has passed away, leaving only a young girl and an old servant. How can we stop those outsiders? They are all very powerful, and even a random person is far beyond their ability to deal with.
of.
"Oh! How annoying! If our Shenmu Palace was at its peak a hundred million years ago, let alone these people, even if their number doubled several times, our Shenmu Palace would not be afraid at all. It's a pity..."
The old servant was very loyal to Shenmu Palace. Although she had never seen the prosperous times recorded in the classics, she yearned for them very much. She also cherished the treasures of the past palace masters of Shenmu Palace.
"They don't know that our Shenmu Palace has been inherited until now. I'm afraid they have long regarded this Aoki World as a world without an owner."
Exploring the ruins of the ownerless world and gaining opportunities is a natural thing in the world of warriors. In this case, the girl did not dare to appear at all. If some old monsters were to know that there were still living descendants of this mysterious Aoki Palace,
I knew something terrible would happen that day.
"It would be great if the sacred tree could awaken..."
The girl looked up at this towering sacred tree. When the cloud wind blew, the branches and leaves that were not in the clouds swayed gently, and the leaves rustled. A hint of stubbornness flashed in the girl's eyes.
She knew that this sacred tree would probably not hear her call, or would not pay attention at all, but she still had to do something. She was the only descendant of the Aoki Palace, and she could not watch everything in the Aoki Palace being destroyed like this.
snatch away.
She got up and walked out of the garden, and came to an elegant courtyard. On an altar table in the courtyard, there was a portrait that was being offered.
This painting exudes an indescribable aura. In the painting is a woman in black. Her figure is graceful and graceful, but her appearance is blurry.
The girl bowed respectfully to the portrait. Perhaps this painting was the last thing Shenmu Palace could rely on.
It sounds a bit incredible that a painting became the last support of a sect, but in the ancient books of Shenmu Palace, the origin of this painting is amazing.
It has existed much longer than the Shenmu Palace, and the identity of the person in the portrait is even more incredible. The first-generation palace owner of the Shenmu Palace said that this immortal sacred tree born in the great world of Aoki is this woman in black.
Planted by hand.
This sacred tree, which has existed longer than the entire world, was actually planted by a woman. This made the silver-haired girl find it unbelievable.
