After Old Ma went out, the house suddenly became much quieter. Lu Chen returned to the courtyard and sat down. He glanced at his bedroom. Through the open door, he could see that Atsu, the big lazy dog, was still lying on the ground, snoring loudly.
It seemed that the demon beast meat that Xue Ying asked people to prepare yesterday was of high quality. Only after eating this kind of high-quality demon beast meat that was full of spiritual power would Atsu become so sleepy. In fact, it was because its body had absorbed too much spiritual power and needed more time to digest it.
The corner of Lu Chen's mouth twitched slightly and he shook his head. It made him feel a little helpless. For demon beasts like Atsu, which had the incomparably powerful Celestial Wolf bloodline, as long as it had enough good food, it could often increase its strength just by sleeping. As for the human race, who were now known as the rulers of the divine continent, if they wanted to obtain stronger power, they had to cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate for their entire lives … Even the powerful Divine Transformation Stage True Monarchs were the same. Every cultivator would almost never stop cultivating throughout their lives. Cultivation was like rowing a boat against the current; if one did not advance, one would fall back.
Was this another way of saying that humans were inferior to dogs?
Well, at least this dog was stupid …
As Lu Chen thought of this, he felt a little better. He couldn't help but laugh at himself. After that, he stood up and carefully looked around before walking back to his bedroom and closing the door behind him.
After the door was closed, the light in the room became a little darker. However, Atsu, who was sleeping on the ground, didn't notice this. Of course, it could have been aware of this, but with Lu Chen by its side, it was enough to let it relax and sleep peacefully.
Lu Chen locked the door, then returned to the side of the bed and lay down. His face was calm as he regulated his breathing. After a while, he put his hand on his chest and closed his eyes.
With a "hum" sound, a white light lit up. At that moment, the light in the space above the bed seemed to distort rapidly. After a moment, Lu Chen's body disappeared. Only a seed quietly fell from the air and gently landed on the soft bedding without making a sound.
…
In the ancient and mysterious tree hole, the same white light flashed, and then Lu Chen's body appeared in the hole.
Because he had been here too many times and was too familiar with this place, Lu Chen almost subconsciously adjusted his body in mid-air. He used his hand to lightly press the ground, and his whole body nimbly stood up.
The grey and misty floating tree walls, the quiet and clear puddles, and some of the things he had piled up in the corner looked the same as before. Nothing had changed.
Of course, there was also a sense of quietness, or perhaps, loneliness.
Lu Chen looked around and walked to the water hole in the center of the tree hole. He squatted down and looked into the water.
Many years ago, this puddle of water used to be a dark green color filled with dense vitality. Now, it had reduced to transparent and colorless ripples. There used to be nothing in the water, but now there were two things. One was a strange black fire that was still burning in the water, and the other was an aquatic spirit plant. It was the "Black Mud Lotus" that Atsu stole in Kunlun Mountain.
Lu Chen hadn't paid attention to the movement here for a while. Today, after coming over to take a closer look, he suddenly frowned slightly. He found something unusual.
The cluster of black fire was similar to before. There wasn't much change, but the Black Mud Lotus that was originally placed in the water to preserve the quality of its spiritual power seemed to have changed significantly.
At some point, one end of the Black Mud Lotus had already pierced into the soil at the bottom of the puddle, while the other end was slightly raised. Looking at the tiny roots that had begun to grow out of the lotus, this aquatic spirit plant seemed to have settled down in the puddle and had begun to germinate again.
This made Lu Chen a little surprised. When that stupid dog Atsu stole this spirit plant, he didn't think about preserving it. He dug it out directly and crudely, directly biting off all the original roots. He didn't expect that the Black Mud Lotus could be reborn here. It seemed to be a spirit plant with a very tenacious vitality.
But soon, Lu Chen found that there seemed to be something wrong with this Black Mud Lotus. It seemed to be a bit too black.
As the name suggested, the Black Mud Lotus grew in the mud, and most of the spirit plants were black in color. This was indeed the case, but in Lu Chen's eyes, the black color had changed a lot compared to the original color.
The black color on the body of the Black Mud Lotus was deep and translucent. It was far from the grade of an ordinary spirit plant. It could even be said that the Black Mud Lotus looked like a piece of flawless black jade, with a bit of crystal clarity.
This kind of color and light was not ordinary at first glance. But what made Lu Chen's expression more serious was that through the surface of the bright and translucent black, he could faintly feel a familiar aura that quietly resonated with a certain dark power in his body.
The power of the Black Fire?
Lu Chen raised his head and looked around the tree hole, then looked at the Black Fire in the water. For a moment, he couldn't tell if the Black Fire had infected the Black Mud Lotus, or if the tree hole itself had some kind of mysterious power that he didn't know.
He silently pondered for a long time. In the end, he didn't touch the obviously mutated spirit plant, and stood up. He walked to the edge of the tree hole, stretched out a hand, and gently stroked the tree wall. He slowly walked forward.
The ancient and rough tree wall left a faint response in his palm, but his eyes were looking forward.
"Seed, branch?" In the silence, he said to himself, "If this is really a part of the Tree of God, then it's probably only two leaves away from the Evil Sect's legendary miracle?"
There was only silence in the tree hole, and only his voice echoed.
Lu Chen raised his head and found that he had already walked to the bottom of the two hidden doors on the tree wall. He stared at the door for a long time, and suddenly said, "The legendary Tree of God has a spirit. If you were its seed, what would you think? Would you want that leaf to come back here? "
The tree hole was still silent.
The green gas on the tree wall slowly floated and drifted, as if a little uneasy, but also as if there was nothing unusual.
Lu Chen shook his head, turned and walked towards the waterhole, ready to leave. But just as he stepped on the edge of the puddle, the pupils in his eyes suddenly shrank. He abruptly stopped and looked forward. He saw that in this ancient tree hole, the originally slow and misty green gas on the tree wall suddenly floated rapidly, and then rushed from all directions in one direction.
That direction was right behind him.
Lu Chen's body trembled, and after a moment, he suddenly turned around. At this moment, a strange buzzing sound suddenly rang out in the originally quiet tree hole. It sounded like the sound of the wind, but it also sounded like the whistling of the wind. In this strange sound, all the green gas on the tree walls rushed towards one direction, and it was impressively one of the two strange doors.
On that strange door, the green gas gathered together, rolling and twisting incessantly, changing into all kinds of indescribable forms. Until the last moment, all of the green gas gradually slowed down, condensed into a pattern, reflected in the air in front of Lu Chen's eyes.
Lu Chen's face suddenly turned a little strange, a little pale, perhaps he had suddenly discovered the secret of this tree hole that had never appeared before, or perhaps he had thought of something even further away.
He stood in the tree hole for a while, then slowly nodded his head and turned around without saying a word.
[Hu!]
A faint white light flashed, this person disappeared in this ancient tree hole. After a moment, the green gas slowly dispersed, re-integrated, adhered to the tree wall, scattered and drifted to every corner, and once again became the same as before.
It was as if nothing had happened.
