"It's really an emperor …" The large black dog jumped up in excitement, his whole body trembling.
"Doggy …" Little Nan Nan cried out in surprise. She was almost flung away, but fortunately, Ye Fan was beside her, and caught her in his arms, preventing her from falling onto the ground.
"It's really a figure, he … he should have discovered us! What … what do we do? "Tu Bigmouth was usually very talkative, but now he was a little stuttering.
"You said he's an emperor?!" Li Heishui asked in shock, his voice very low.
At this moment, they were less than 1,000 meters away from the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree. Even though there were other trees in the way, their eyesight was like lightning, and they could naturally see everything there.
That was a blurry figure, and they couldn't see him clearly. He walked around the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree as if he didn't see them, and above his head was a large bell that was surrounded by chaotic mist.
It seemed to be able to stop time, and chaos surged as tens of thousands of silk ribbons dropped down, extremely mysterious and hazy, as if the long river of time was flowing.
Swoosh!
He sat cross-legged under the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, and the large bell bobbed up and down, making him look like a piece of nothingness, as if he had merged into the boundless heaven and earth, and was about to disappear.
Not long after, he seemed to be thinking, and stood up to look at the sky. Then, he walked away step by step, as if he was walking against the long river of time, leaving through the gate of time, returning to the distant Desolate Antiquity.
"Emperor, don't go, take me with you!" the large black dog shouted loudly, his expression extremely excited, and he was about to rush forward.
Pang Bo hurriedly stretched out a pair of large hands, grabbed his bald tail, and said, "Don't run around recklessly, one wrong step, and you may enter the center of the Immortal Mountain to die!"
Ye Fan also stretched out a large golden hand, and pressed down on the Black Emperor to prevent him from suffering from impulsiveness. He vaguely guessed who that person was.
"Emperor … Are you going to enter the Celestial Realm? Take me with you! "the large black dog shouted hoarsely, and if it weren't for Ye Fan and Pang Bo holding him down, he would have already pounced over.
"Is he really Emperor Wu Shi?!" Pang Bo was astonished.
The few of them shuddered. How many years had passed? It had been at least hundreds of thousands of years, maybe even more ancient. How could there still be a Great Emperor alive?
The figure of the ancient emperor vanished, returning to the underworld. There was nothing left behind, only a small ripple. It was empty and quiet.
"Woof!"
The large black dog bared his fangs and almost bit Ye Fan and Pang Bo. He was incomparably vexed and agitated, and it was difficult for him to calm down.
"Another person has appeared." Little Nan Nan, who was being carried by Ye Fan, extended her little finger and pointed at the ancient Dao Comprehension Tea Tree that was three hundred zhang away.
The originally violent large black dog immediately quieted down when it saw this person. It crouched down like a mouse that had seen a cat. It turned around and wanted to run away. It didn't have any temper at all.
This person was even more mysterious, only a shadow could be seen. The place where he stood was an enormous black hole, a jar with a ghost face carved on it floating up and down.
Not only did the large black dog wither and want to run away, but even Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and the others' hair stood on end. They turned around and wanted to run away. This person was too terrifying.
Just that kind of aura was enough to make one's body tremble. That black hole seemed like it wanted to swallow everyone, and just a little bit of aura seeped out, and heaven and earth were about to collapse.
"Great Emperor!"
The few of them were incredibly shocked. Was the most ruthless person in history really him? Could it be that he hadn't died? This was unbelievable, and everyone felt their scalps go numb.
This was especially so for Ye Fan. He had a Saint Physique, and this great emperor specialized in swallowing the Source Powers of all kinds of physiques. If he set his eyes on him, let alone him, even a Saint Physique with a Great Accomplishment Saint Physique would die with a grievance.
It was impossible to tell whether this black figure that was like an abyss was male or female. He stood in front of the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree for a long time, thinking for a long time. In the end, he also left.
"He didn't chase after me? That's impossible. I dug up his dao field and dug up his grave. With his personality, how could he possibly let me go?" the large black dog muttered in a barely audible voice.
"He disappeared? What's going on?" They all sensed that something was wrong. Two ancient emperors had appeared one after another, and then mysteriously disappeared without a trace. This was very strange.
"That's not right. They didn't even look at us just now, so how could it be like this? Even if they are ancient emperors with peaceful minds, they can't stop us from being air. "Pang Bo didn't feel that there were too many suspicious points.
"I understand now …" the large black dog sighed softly, and said, "That was a remnant image from before the Primordial Age. The ancient emperors left an indelible mark beside the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree."
Everyone was astonished. In that case, that was a remnant image from at least 100,000 years ago, or even 200,000 years ago. It had been preserved until now, and it still hadn't been destroyed. This was shocking.
"The ancient emperors have come here to cultivate before. How terrifying …" They were astonished. Ordinary people wouldn't even have the time to hide, yet they had come here to contemplate.
Judging from their appearance just now, it seemed like they had encountered a difficult problem in their cultivation, and had come here to seek inspiration.
"What a pity. In the end, those emperors couldn't withstand the erosion of time. Even though they looked down upon the past and present, and were extraordinarily talented, in the end, ashes to ashes, dust to dust." Pang Bo sighed softly.
After deducing that those were the shadows left behind by the two emperors from before the Primordial Age, they all felt very rueful. They were the supreme protagonists of the past, and throughout the ages, how many people could compare to them?
However, even if they were world-shaking and looked down upon the heaven and earth, they couldn't change anything. No matter how great a hero or how supreme a monument was, in the end, they would still be unable to escape their final fate, and would eventually die.
They walked forward together, getting closer and closer to the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree. All of them felt their minds become empty, and the restlessness and insecurity they had just felt disappeared.
Even the large black dog, whose emotions were the most violently fluctuating, calmed down at this moment. His heart was filled with peace, without joy or worry, and he had forgotten all his worries.
This was what made the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree extraordinary. As they approached this place, everything was different. It was as if it had been nourished by the great dao, causing them to feel peace and tranquility.
One thousand meters was not very far. Under Little Nan Nan's guidance, they passed through the ancient tree, and gradually approached. They could clearly see this ancient tree that had existed since ancient times and would not wither.
The bark of the tree was dry and cracked, like the spread of dragon scales. The tree trunk was less than half a meter thick, and its shape was like a coiling horned dragon. It stretched into midair, and the highest point was less than three meters from the ground.
The entire tree was sparkling and translucent, and every leaf was different. They flowed with the radiance of Dao, and it was so strange. The small cauldron, divine phoenix, celestial being, divine bell, mountains and rivers, clouds, eight trigrams … They were all vivid and lifelike, and every leaf was like a small world, representing a unique Dao that flickered with a dreamy radiance.
There were all kinds of leaves, and they were all of strange shapes and sizes, and they all possessed unique and precious Dao. The tree was brilliant and exceptionally dazzling, causing one to be lost in it.
The trunk of the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree was ancient, and was filled with a grand and ancient aura. Meanwhile, the leaves were natural, filled with life and Dao. They blended together, and it was mysterious and profound.
"One, two, three …" Little Nan Nan raised her head, and began to count the leaves on the tree. The others were also moved. There were very few leaves on this ancient tree, only about a hundred or so, but it didn't seem completely bare. That was because every single leaf was different from the others, making one forget about everything else.
"There are a total of 108 leaves, and it is just like in the legends. It is like this every year, no more, no less. It just happens to be this number." Tu Da Zui exclaimed in surprise, and couldn't help but wipe away his saliva.
At this moment, joy shattered their empty state of mind, and it was difficult for them to calm down. Everyone's emotions were rising and falling.
The large black dog's eyes released a green light like a wolf's, and his saliva was about to drip out. He scuttled over in a flash, and reached out a large paw towards the tree.
Swoosh!
Light flashed, and a leaf that was like a small gourd fell down. Its entire body was golden, and it passed through the gaps between the large black dog's paw, landing on the ground, and instantly disappearing.
The large black dog was extremely angry, and then reached out a large paw to pluck a leaf that was like a True Dragon. It flickered like black gold, but it was still the same. With a flash of light, it slid down, landed on the ground, and disappeared.
"Black Emperor, don't be so wasteful!" Li Heishui was dissatisfied. Although he had 108 leaves, he still couldn't squander them like this.
"Do you think this emperor is willing? These leaves are really strange, and they can run away on their own. I can't catch them." The large black dog was extremely angry.
"Let me try." Pang Bo walked up, pinched a scarlet leaf that was like an Immortal Phoenix, and lightly plucked it off.
Swoosh!
In the instant that the leaf left the ancient tree, light flashed, and suddenly flew out, sinking into the ground. Just like Black and Yellow, it couldn't be caught, and could only escape.
"This is strange!" Tu Da Zui also walked up, stretching out a hand to grab a leaf that was like a small eight trigram. Five colors flowed, and it was mysterious and unfathomable.
However, the result was still the same. As long as it was plucked, the leaf would definitely escape, and it couldn't be preserved at all.
"Stop plucking randomly, this emperor remembers!" the large black dog called out. He tried hard to recall, and said to himself, "Yes, that's right."
"What's going on?" the others asked simultaneously.
"The Dao Comprehension Ancient Tea Tree can nurture dao, but it can only be plucked after it has matured. Otherwise, once it is plucked, it will sink into the roots, and can't be taken away."
"Why is it like this?" They were all incredibly disappointed. Being able to arrive in front of the Dao Comprehension Ancient Tea Tree could be said to be a massive opportunity, but they actually couldn't pluck it.
"Unless there is an Undying Deity Root that can similarly attract the leaves, and only then can they be locked in place," the large black dog said.
A thought flashed through Ye Fan's mind. He had dug out some Undying Deity Roots from the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Land, so perhaps he could give it a try. However, he first took out the Qilin Divine Medicine seed.
Swoosh!
He lightly plucked a leaf that was like a small cauldron. It was surrounded by wisps of mist, and instantly attached itself to the Qilin Divine Medicine seed, so it didn't fall to the ground.
"Good, very good!" The others were all overjoyed.
The large black dog was incredibly excited, and said, "Pluck them all. As long as we stay far away from the Dao Comprehension Ancient Tea Tree and seal them in a jade tool, it will be difficult for them to escape."
"These leaves haven't matured yet, so will the dao they nurture be useful?" Ye Fan didn't want to recklessly waste natural resources.
"Don't worry, it will definitely be effective. Two of these leaves combined are equivalent to a mature Dao Leaf," the large black dog replied.
They were all overjoyed. There were more than 100 leaves, and if two of them combined, they would be equivalent to more than 50 Dao Leaves. This was a supreme divine treasure trove!
It should be known that every year, after the Dao Comprehension Ancient Tea Tree matured, its leaves would automatically soar into the sky and fly away from the mother plant. Even if the top elites outside the Undying Mountain worked together, they would only be able to obtain more than 30 leaves at most. The Divine Lords and great elites of the entire Eastern Wilderness wouldn't even have enough to share.
"We've struck it rich, this is a great opportunity. My grandfather spent a lot of effort and a huge amount of Source Energy to exchange for one leaf, but we've plucked the entire ancient tree clean!" Tu Fei grinned foolishly.
Li Heishui also laughed loudly, and said, "If those great elites wait outside the Undying Mountain this year, they won't even be able to obtain a single leaf. Let's see what kind of expression they will have when that time comes. Haha … I'm looking forward to it!"
The long bell rang softly, giving people a feeling that the great dao had become empty. It was as if they had reached the end of the Celestial Path, and the figure of the great ancient emperor appeared again. Great Emperor Wu Shi!
The black hole was silent, and it annihilated everything. It also appeared in front of the Dao Comprehension Ancient Tea Tree, and Great Emperor Merciless also appeared in the darkness.
What was different was that this time, two great emperors appeared together, and it caused people's hearts to tremble. They couldn't help but freeze in place.
"This … what happened? Could it be that the two great emperors have met before?"
"Impossible, the great ancient emperors have never met each other before. When he is alive, he is dead, and when he is dead, he is alive. This should be the meeting of their marks … What happened?" The Black Emperor was bewildered.
