Soon, Little White cut up a plate of fruits and served it up.
Several types of fruits were arranged in an orderly manner. The colors were evenly matched, and the appearance was perfect.
Gu Changqing and the others took a piece of orange from the fruit platter and put it in their mouths. Immediately, a fragrant aroma filled their mouths. The ample moisture and the sweetness of the fruit teased their taste buds to the extreme. Especially when the orange had a hint of sourness. It was a pleasure to put it in their mouths and chew.
They closed their eyes at the same time and felt the power of laws emanating from the orange. They were even more shocked.
A piece of fruit actually contained a fragment of laws. No one would believe it if they told others.
It was unimaginable and unbelievable!
One had to know that even in the current Celestial World, if one wanted to find a fragment of laws, one would have to risk one's life and go to ancient ruins to find one.
While they were shocked, they were also filled with bitterness.
Why were the fruits already cut? It would be great if they were whole. That way, they could pack it up.
With tea and fruits, we're a little full.
It was rare to encounter such an extremely luxurious meal, but they couldn't eat because they were full. This feeling was simply driving them crazy.
But their stomachs were disappointing!
Li Nianfan felt that the distance between them had widened, so he asked curiously, "Old Pei, I wonder what the Celestial World is like. Is there a Heavenly Palace?"
Pei An smiled bitterly and shook his head. "No."
Li Nianfan was slightly taken aback. "Then who is the ruler of the Celestial World?"
Pei An explained, "Young Master Li, the Celestial World is actually not much different from the Immortal Cultivation World. There are many sects, and the strongest are the Five Great Sacred Lands. There is no such thing as a ruler."
Li Nianfan couldn't help but shake his head. "I've embarrassed myself in front of you, Old Pei. I already said that 'Journey to the West' is fictional. I can't help but judge it based on its content. I really shouldn't have."
"Actually, there is a Heavenly Palace." At this moment, Huo Feng's beautiful figure flashed and sat down. She casually picked up a fruit from the plate and put it into her mouth. She frowned and said, "I have some memories in my head. It seems that in the ancient Immortal World, the Heavenly Palace existed."
Pei An and the other two looked at each other. Suddenly, their hearts trembled.
As expected, the Heavenly Palace did exist. The expert kept saying that it was made up. Only an idiot would believe him.
Was he … missing the ancient Heavenly Palace?
"The ancient Immortal Realm?" Li Nianfan raised his eyebrows slightly. So the Immortal Realm was also an archeologist.
He licked his lips and asked expectantly, "Then do you know of any spirit fruits that can allow mortals to become immortals?"
A mortal who did not want to become an immortal was not a good mortal. Even if there was such a spiritual fruit, it would definitely not be with him. However, Li Nianfan still wanted to know, purely out of curiosity.
Pei An and the other two looked at each other.
After a moment of silence, Gu Yuan said, "Young Master Li, are you talking about the Peach of Immortality in 'Journey to the West'? I have never heard of such a spiritual item in the Immortal Realm. "
Huo Feng said again, "In the ancient Immortal Realm, it was indeed possible for mortals to become immortals directly. However, it is obviously impossible now."
To have such an effect, one had to have a natural spiritual root. This was a spiritual root that was born with the heavens and earth. It was extremely precious. Today, it was completely extinct.
She glanced at the backyard. The expert's backyard was filled with spiritual roots. However, they could only be considered as acquired spiritual roots. However, under the expert's care, they seemed to be transforming little by little.
Spiritual roots could actually evolve. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, Huo Feng would not have believed it.
This expert seemed to have the power to surpass the Heavenly Dao.
"Ancient times again?" Li Nianfan was a little disappointed. "Is the Immortal Realm declining?"
Pei An smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Young Master Li, compared to the ancient times, the Immortal Realm has declined too much. I'm afraid it is impossible to recreate the glory of the ancient times."
"The sun moves in the middle of the day, and the moon waxes and wanes. When things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction. When things reach an extreme, they will decline."
Li Nianfan sighed softly. "These words are applicable everywhere. It is indeed a principle."
It seemed that his dream of becoming an immortal was completely over. Sigh.
Everyone's minds buzzed. They felt a layer of goosebumps all over their bodies. They felt as if they had been enlightened.
Pei An said sincerely, "In just sixteen words, you were able to summarize the laws of heaven and earth. Young Master Li's talent is truly admirable."
If one was cultured, they would not be at a disadvantage no matter where they went.
"You flatter me. What I did was nothing much. You sealed the demonic creatures and benefited the people. That is truly admirable." Li Nianfan smiled slightly, then said, "The peak of prosperity leads to decline, and similarly, the peak of decline leads to prosperity. I believe that as long as you work hard, you will be able to recreate your glory one day."
Pei An nodded. "I hope so."
At this moment, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and was suddenly stunned.
He saw that Xiao Bai was holding a broom and cleaning up the wood shavings that had fallen to the ground when Li Nianfan was carving.
Due to Li Nianfan's excellent carving skills, the wood shavings on the ground were actually considered complete. They were all long strips and looked relatively neat.
Of course, this was nothing. The most important thing was … these were spiritual roots!
Pei An looked at all of this with his eyes wide open. His heart was trembling, and he wanted to stare his eyes out.
Although they were just fragments, they were still spiritual root fragments. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were the most precious material in the world. They were not inferior to immortal weapons!
But now, they were being swept away like trash.
He could not help but say, "That … Young Master Li, what are you going to do with those wood shavings?"
Li Nianfan said casually, "It's just some trash. Naturally, I'll throw it away."
Pei An took a deep breath, feeling as if his heart was about to jump out. He said in a trembling voice, "Young Master Li, we are preparing to leave. Why don't we help you take it out?"
After saying that, he seemed to have exhausted all of his strength. His limbs were a little weak.
"This …" Li Nianfan was slightly stunned. "Will it be too much trouble for you?"
Pei An waved his hand. "No trouble, no trouble. It's just a small matter."
"Alright then, thank you." Li Nianfan nodded.
Pei An almost shouted out in excitement. Holding the wood shavings, his hands were trembling. "Young Master Li, sorry for disturbing you today. Goodbye."
"Mm, have a safe trip."
…
Walking out of the door of the four-part architecture, Pei An looked at the wood shavings in his hand. He still felt like he was in a dream.
He confirmed again and again that this was definitely a Spiritual Root!
It was an extinct existence in the Celestial Realm!
According to the legends, any Spiritual Root would contain the law itself. Thus, it would have abilities that normal treasures did not have. He did not know what kind of abilities this Spiritual Root had.
Pei An let out a long sigh and said in awe, "What kind of existence is this? Even the spiritual root is just trash in its eyes. I've lived for 26,000 years, and I've never dared to have such an exaggerated dream."
Gu Yuan suddenly said, "Grandmaster, it's not that I want to discourage you, but I don't think these Spiritual Roots are that easy to take."
Pei An was stunned for a moment, then sighed. "How could I not know that? Every word of the expert was full of hints. If I can't understand that, wouldn't I have lived all these years in vain?"
Gu Yuan gulped and said nervously, "Grandmaster, the expert's words were full of nostalgia for the ancient times. Does he want … the Celestial Realm to return to the ancient times?"
"Most likely. He asked about the current situation in the Celestial Realm. When he found out that there was no Heavenly Palace in the Celestial Realm, he was obviously disappointed." Pei An nodded and continued, "The reconnection of the Celestial Realm and the Mortal Realm means that the expert's plan has already begun. Actually, you haven't seen far enough. The pressure I'm under is much greater than you think."
Gu Yuan and Gu Changqing were stunned. "Grandmaster, what do you mean?"
"Spiritual Objects that can allow mortals to become Celestials directly!" Pei An sighed. "Since the expert mentioned it, it means that he wants it! Such an expert would never say what he wants directly. Usually, he uses hints. He seems to be asking about the situation in the Celestial Realm, but he's actually referring to something else. In the Celestial Realm, if you don't have this level of understanding, how can you cultivate? "
The higher the status of a person, the more they liked to talk in riddles.
For example, if an ancient Emperor was out on an inspection tour and took a liking to a girl, he would directly say, "Oh, that girl is not bad. Bring her back." How low would that be? He would become a hooligan.
Usually, he would ask about the local customs, living habits, and so on. If you couldn't understand the essence of it, then you could only wait to die.
The requirement of ability to ride on someone's coattails was secondary. The key was to be able to read someone's mind.
Gu Changqing suddenly said, "Now that you mention it, the expert seems to have mentioned Demons. Is he intentionally referring to demons?"
"That's for sure. If you want to return to the ancient times, Demons are the biggest obstacle." Pei An nodded. "But since the expert specifically said so, there's an 80% chance that something has happened. Let's go back and ask about it."
Gu Yuan's face was solemn. He said sincerely, "The Demons have been rampant recently. The expert likes to be a mortal and doesn't want to do it himself. Then, we're the best chess pieces in his hands!"
Southern Barbarian Land.
This place was originally desolate. There were few cities and sects. Moreover, they were all scattered.
Now, it had become an empty city. Those who could have fled had already fled.
Ninety percent of the mortal cities had fallen. Even the sects around were massacred by the sudden increase in the number of demons.
On top of a tall mountain, the leading general held a giant axe in his hand. He walked forward slowly. His eyes were fierce, domineering, and majestic.
Not far in front of him stood eight black-robed demons.
The eight of them surrounded a giant statue in the middle. There were strange talismans drawn on the ground. There was blood flowing in them.
This mountain originally belonged to a sect. However, at this moment, the entire sect was slaughtered.
One of the black-robed men said in a hoarse voice, "That's enough. Begin summoning the Demon Envoy!"
The leading general walked forward slowly. He placed the giant axe in his hand in front of the statue. Then, he knelt on one knee. "Killing one is a sin. Killing ten thousand is a hero! This axe is stained with the blood of ten thousand people. I, Tu Jiu, am willing to serve the Demon God and welcome the Demon Envoy! "
Swoosh!
Behind him, countless soldiers also knelt on the ground at the same time. "The Demon God's subjects welcome the Demon Envoy!"
The eight black-robed men made hand seals. As they raised their hands, endless black gas gushed out from their bodies and rushed toward the statue.
The black gas rolled and surrounded the statue. It contracted and expanded at times.
It was as if the statue was breathing. It was extremely strange.
Not long after, the statue that was originally carved from stone turned black at the same time. In the end, it was as black as ink. One look at it was terrifying.
The black gas began to boil and eventually formed a whirlpool that changed the color of heaven and earth.
"Crack!"
At a certain moment, a crack suddenly appeared on the statue. The black gas then poured in crazily!
Crack crack crack!
The crack expanded rapidly and finally filled the entire statue. At the last moment, with a boom, the statue turned into dust.
However, the black gas did not disperse. Instead, it gathered crazily on the spot and finally condensed into a human figure!
This person was a tall and sturdy man. He wore a black armor with spikes on it. Whenever he moved slightly, the armor would emit clanging sounds. His aura was shocking and filled with hostility.
He laughed wildly and his eyes were filled with excitement. "Hahaha, that's right. The first one to descend into the mortal world is me, Hamon! Who in the mortal world can stop me now? "
He took a deep breath of the mortal world's air and revealed an intoxicated expression.
Then, he glanced at the crowd and raised his hand. The huge axe on the ground was held in his hand. The black gas in the air flowed toward the huge axe.
"You're called Tu Jiu, right? As long as you can unite the mortal world for the Demon God, you will be the Human Emperor of the world. In the future, you will achieve great merits and you will be immortal! " Hamon handed over the huge axe. "We can't get too involved in the karma of the mortals. You can't be too direct. This axe will absorb the energy of the people you kill so that you will never be tired on the battlefield!"
Tu Jiu was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, Demon Envoy, for your gift! With this axe, I will be invincible in the mortal world! "
"Very good!" Hamon's eyes flashed red. "As for the cultivators in the mortal world, leave them to us! Oh right, Yuetu, Gusion, Houmo and the others, follow me to find their sealed place and release them together! In the future, those who follow me will prosper and those who oppose me will perish! "
