A description of the Jianmu Sacred Tree came to Lin Ze's mind:
Building trees are born in response to the way of heaven. They grow in the south of the wilderness. They are nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the faith of living beings. They connect to the heavens above and the Nine Netherworlds below. They penetrate the heavens and the earth and are immortal.
The ancient demon clan era...
…
Lin Ze spent about a quarter of an hour, with the cooperation of Xiao Jin, sorting out the information transmitted by the Taoist Saint about the birth, destruction and other mysterious features of the Jianmu Sacred Tree.
In general, it can be summarized into three points:
First, the Jianmu Sacred Tree is not an ordinary tree, but a part of heaven and earth, playing an irreplaceable role in communicating between heaven and earth.
Secondly, the Jianmu Sacred Tree is immortal. Although the last emperor of the demon clan used his supreme cultivation to cut it off in order to dominate the heavens, as long as one of the fragments is found, there is a chance to resurrect it.
The third and most important point that attracts the Taoist sage's attention is that resurrecting the Jianmu Sacred Tree will play a great role in restoring the heaven and earth, and Heaven will grant unimaginable benefits.
There are many benefits, such as allowing mortals to be reborn and advance to heavenly beings, and heavenly beings to transcend mortal beings and become saints, and become saints. The saint realm can take advantage of this benefit to peek into the transcendent realm.
Obviously, Taoist Saint and Lin Ze Zhuangzhou mentioned building the sacred tree for the sake of the illusory and transcendent opportunity.
Moreover, Lin Ze was sure that the Taoist Saint had fragments of the Jianmu Sacred Tree and the secret method of resurrection.
Thinking of this, Lin Ze couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. Dao Sheng really believed in him so much that he could even tell such secret things at will, so he wasn't afraid that he would secretly plot to steal this opportunity?
Lin Ze couldn't help but doubt it. After all, he had just forcibly sacrificed his destiny and made Tao Sheng's ten-thousand-year plan come to nothing. With this experience, who in the right mind would rest assured?
For example, in Lin Ze's previous life, who would indulge the person he had just caught raping in bed with someone of the opposite sex? Wouldn't he think it was not green enough?
Lin Ze made repeated calculations and basically came to two points:
First, Tao Shenghui holds the key point of resurrecting the Jianmu Sacred Tree in his hands, and he and Zhuang Zhouhui are arranged to do some tedious but insignificant things;
Secondly, just resurrecting the Jianmu Sacred Tree may not necessarily result in the blessing of heaven. It is very likely to require a specific ritual, and this ritual can only be understood by Taoist sages. Otherwise, even Zhuang Zhou knew about the Jianmu Sacred Tree, and it would make no sense for the Confucian sages and Buddhas to reach heaven.
The sword master has never heard of it.
It was a matter of transcendental opportunity. Lin Ze didn't pay any attention to it secretly because he didn't believe in the Buddha, the Confucian sage, and the Tongtian Sword Master.
While Lin Ze was thinking wildly, Zhuang Zhou came to his senses from the complicated information. He turned his head and looked at Lin Ze with a strange expression, and then looked at Taoist Saint with a complicated expression. It seemed difficult to understand. How could the teacher tell this to his junior brother who had learned from the past?
Seeing that Lin Zezhuang and Zhou Jie were no longer immersed in watching the information he had transmitted, Taoist Saint asked, "Have you finished reading them all?"
Lin Zezhuang and Zhou Zhou replied in unison: "Disciple has finished reading, please give me the teacher's instructions."
Taoist Saint waved his hand and asked: "Are there any doubts?"
Lin Zezhuang and Zhou looked at each other and murmured in their hearts. They were confused, but they didn't know how to talk about it.
The Taoist Saint seemed to realize that the two of them were a little embarrassed to speak. He pointed directly at Lin Ze and asked: "After reading the information transmitted to you by my master, is there anything you don't understand?"
Lin Ze showed some helplessness on his face and asked tentatively: "Disciple, I dare to ask, does the teacher want to peek into the transcendent realm by resurrecting the Jianmu Sacred Tree?"
Although Lin Ze basically guessed Tao Sheng's thoughts, he still wanted to know from him. If he guessed wrong, wouldn't it be embarrassing to answer the wrong question?
The Taoist Saint was very calm: "Yes, that's what I meant as a teacher."
Lin Ze further asked: "Disciple, I dare to ask again, the teacher not only has fragments of the Jianmu Divine Tree in his hand, but also found a way to resurrect the Jianmu Divine Tree?"
Tao Sheng frowned slightly and replied in a deep voice: "This is natural, otherwise why would I mention this matter as a teacher? Is it okay for me as a teacher to entertain you two when I have nothing to do?"
Lin Ze quickly replied: "Disciple doesn't dare. I just want to confirm and think about how to help the teacher resurrect Jianmu and seize the opportunity to transcend."
Tao Sheng had no expression on his face when he heard this and asked meaningfully: "Then have you thought about it?"
Lin Ze's face did not change, and he replied shamelessly: "This disciple is so stupid that he doesn't even know how to resurrect the Jianmu Sacred Tree, so he couldn't think of a good strategy for a while, but he doesn't know what the teacher has planned?"
Taoist Saint glanced at Lin Ze, ignored him, turned to Zhuang Zhou and asked, "What about you?"
Zhuang Zhou smiled bitterly and said: "The message transmitted by the teacher just now does not contain the method of resurrecting the sacred tree. The disciple can only wait for the teacher's instructions like a junior brother."
The Taoist sage snorted coldly and said: "Without learning or skills, the information I gave you two clearly contains the method of resurrection. It's just that you two didn't read it carefully, and you opened your eyes and told lies."
Lin Zezhuang and Zhou were all stunned, a little unsure of Taoist Saint's thoughts.
The Taoist sage stared at Zhuang Zhou and asked coldly: "Master, I want to ask you, what does the sacred tree Jianmu rely on to grow?"
Zhuang Zhou subconsciously replied: "It is recorded in ancient books that it is nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the belief in living beings. From this, it can be inferred that the sacred tree of Jianmu relies on these two to grow."
The Taoist Saint's nasal voice elongated: "Hmm~"
Zhuang Zhou suddenly realized: "Disciple understands, the Jianmu Sacred Tree is immortal. Even if it breaks into countless pieces, it is still a living thing. As long as it is fed with enough nutrients, it can still grow into a towering tree."
"The so-called method of resurrection should actually be called the method of resuscitation."
The Taoist Saint then showed a look of satisfaction: "Yes, I finally got the idea."
Zhuang Zhou flattered him and said, "It's all teachers who teach me well."
Lin Ze looked weird and couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on it: "I'm afraid it's not just as simple as infusing nutrients, right?"
Lin Ze's idea was very simple. If it were really that easy, it would take at least tens of thousands of years for the Taoist Saint to become a saint. Didn't he have any interest in transcendence before? He had to wait until today?
Or is it that the master of the Tongtian Sword, the Confucian sage and the Buddha, is as stupid as a pig? The records in the classics are clear and the Taoist sages can't think of it, but they can't?
Lin Ze would never look down on anyone. He really didn't dare to ignore such obvious loopholes.
Something strange flashed across Tao Sheng's eyes, and his gaze fell on Lin Ze: "What do you think?"
Lin Ze replied respectfully: "This disciple has little experience and knows very little about the Jianmu Sacred Tree, so I dare not make any assertions easily. However, I know that my teacher has studied this matter for at least ten thousand years, and his depth of understanding far exceeds that of my disciples and senior brothers."
"Therefore, the disciple believes that as long as he strictly obeys the teacher's instructions and does what the teacher tells him, there will never be anything wrong."
The Taoist Saint chuckled: "You are quite cunning. In just a few words, you put all the blame on your teacher. You should know that your teacher may also make mistakes."
Lin Ze replied with a smile on his face: "Teachers can only make mistakes, but disciples and others can only make mistakes without the guidance of a teacher."
The master and apprentice smiled at each other, something indescribably weird.
