Three days later, someone knocked on the door of the small courtyard.

Then, a few familiar faces walked in from the outside. They looked no different than usual, but if anyone looked carefully at their eyes, they would find that they were filled with an indescribable strange smell.

Xu Ziqing stood by the door. His wood energy was extremely pure and his senses were extremely keen. Therefore, after bringing people in, he felt a little strange in his heart.

Something seems wrong?

Or is it just an illusion...

Yun Lie walked out of the house and when he saw the five people, he nodded in salute: "I've seen a few ancestors."

Xu Ziqing was shocked and quickly saluted: "This junior has met all the ancestors!"

It turns out that I don’t know what method the sect master used to let five elders who were above the Nascent Soul stage silently replace the several disciples who came with the Jindan Daoist to build and transform the Yuan stage and mix in.

In the Ruyi Fairy Village.

At this time, they came to communicate with Yun Lie and give him some confidence.

These five elders are all men, and their temperaments are very similar. However, they are in this courtyard at this time, so they are not so hidden when they speak.

The leader laughed "haha" and said: "Good boy, no one else knows about my arrival, so don't let the news leak out casually."

Yun Lie said: "I won't reveal even a single bit."

Xu Ziqing also followed his senior brother and hurriedly responded.

The five elders had extremely high cultivation levels. After admonishing Yun Lie, they went back to their respective courtyards to avoid being noticed by others.

After they left, Xu Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Senior brother, it seems that the sect leader has something to worry about."

Yun Lie nodded slightly: "You also need to be more cautious."

Xu Ziqing said sternly: "There will be no flaws!"

In the next few days, I heard nothing wrong. The five elders seemed to have very good concealment skills. Even if they pretended to be juniors, they could still look like them so that no one could notice anything.

From this, Xu Ziqing sighed more and more, feeling that these elders were very different from the strong men he had seen before. Since they were willing to put down their bodies for the sake of the sect and pretend to be weak around the juniors, they must be extremely tough mentally.

No matter how much he marveled, time always flew by.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the time when the Immortal Fruit Conference was about to be held. During the scene, nothing unusual happened, but it was vaguely making people feel uneasy.

On this day, as the morning light faded, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky.

Xu Ziqing followed Yunlie to the door and saw heavy clouds, layer upon layer, rapidly spreading to one place from all directions. It was like countless rivers merging into the sea, forming a central core, and then there was

Countless spiritual energy from heaven and earth stirred up a storm and were sucked in by that crazy place, forming an inverted cone vortex like a tornado. It was so huge that the wild power almost condensed into substance!

This scene is slightly similar to when Xu Ziqing broke through a few days ago, but it is far more terrifying than his situation at that time, a hundred times or a thousand times!

At this moment, the rioting spiritual energy showed the terror of the power between heaven and earth. The clouds piled up together and seemed to collide, releasing thunder and disaster!

Xu Ziqing was shocked: "What, what is going on?"

He felt it more deeply than the others, because his single-wood body noticed that the suddenly fierce wood spiritual energy in the void was different from the gentleness in the past. Instead, it became excited and more urgent than other spiritual energy.

Dive into that core.

Suddenly, Xu Ziqing had a guess in his mind.

He couldn't help but blurt out: "Senior brother, is the whirling fruit ripe?"

At this time, Yun Lie raised his head slightly and looked at the clouds in the sky. The sword intent on his body was about to move, as if he had a faint sense of confrontation against the domineering intention in the world.

Suddenly hearing Xu Ziqing's inquiry, the aura around him gradually receded, and the strong murderous thoughts that had been nearly aroused before slowly disappeared.

He said: "Not bad." There was still a coldness in his voice that had not faded away.

Xu Ziqing noticed something was wrong with Yun Lie and was a little worried: "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"

Yun Lie solemnly said: "The sword cultivator breaks the sky with his sword intention, and just now it seemed that there was a thunder cloud, which triggered my sword intention."

When Xu Ziqing heard this, he felt relieved.

It doesn't matter if your mood is aroused, as long as nothing happens.

The two brothers didn't talk much. Outside the small courtyard, there were many sounds of clothes being rubbed.

It was the other disciples of the Wuling Immortal Sect who came over together. They were followed by boy servants, and they all said, "The immortal fruit is about to mature. Please go to the fairy orchard to wait."

When everyone heard this, they rushed there without hesitation.

The Whirling Fruit ripens once every ten thousand years, and its fruit tree also turns the spiritual energy of the world within a thousand miles around upside down, absorbing countless energies of the five elements and returning them to the Whirling Fruit.

At the same time, when the whirling fruit matures, it is said that there will be a doom, but it is not stated clearly in the ancient books. But when Xu Ziqing saw the clouds in the sky, he immediately understood that every time the whirling sacred tree bears fruit, it must be like some demon cultivators and monsters. Just like when you advance to a higher level, you will be troubled by lightning disasters.

Everyone followed the direction in which the spiritual energy storm surged, without stopping. After leaving the courtyard, they could see many monks from other places running towards that place, using various methods, and many spells were dazzling.

Yun Lie grabbed Xu Ziqing's wrist with one hand and used the "shrinking the ground into an inch" technique, and soon moved forward. Xu Ziqing was slightly startled, and held his senior brother's palm with his backhand, letting him lead him.

Immediately, he lowered his head to watch his senior brother's walking pace, and then checked the flow of power throughout his body, and tried his best to imitate... Because of his high understanding, after trying three or two times, his steps moved slightly, and he actually found some methods.

But now is not the time to learn this technique. After a while, they are getting closer and closer to the core.

The place where the whirling sacred tree is located is called the "Five Elements Garden", which is named because this fruit tree naturally absorbs the spiritual energy of the five elements of heaven and earth. There are countless rare and rare grasses on the outside. The further you go inside, the more the number and types of spiritual grasses become.

Today's situation is special. There is no one guarding the outside of the garden. The gate of the garden is wide open, causing countless monks to rush in. They all rush in.

Yun Lie entered it, and his pace did not slow down a little. Xu Ziqing looked to both sides and saw that the spiritual grass on the left and right sides were originally green, but now they were scorched and withered. This was obviously a sign that all the wood energy in it was lost. Let their vitality be cut off and they will no longer grow.

The more he looked at it like this, the more pity Xu Ziqing felt. He had memorized countless grades, types, and characteristics of spiritual herbs. Now even if they are withered, he can still recognize many precious varieties, which makes people feel extremely distressed.

Xu Ziqing understood that the wood energy of these spiritual plants was actually extracted by the whirling sacred tree.

For thousands of years, these spiritual grasses have been protected by the sacred trees and have been nourished with pure wood energy. After thousands of years, the sacred trees bear fruit, and all the pure wood energy will be taken back by the sacred trees.

It can be seen that "a drink and a peck are all predetermined", everything has a cause and effect.

It goes without saying that the reason why Ruyi Immortal Village planted many spiritual herbs near the sacred tree is self-evident.

Many Jindan masters wanted to reach the front of the sacred tree first to show their strength. Naturally, they exerted all their strength and refused to relax at all.

Although Yun Lie was not a brave and ruthless person, he still shouldered the sect's reputation and kept moving forward, even faster. The scenery in Xu Ziqing's eyes suddenly receded, and he was brought to the front in an instant.

As expected, in the end, Yun Lie and his entourage still took the lead. In the entire Eastern Region, only one of the top five monks on the Tianlong Ranking below Nascent Soul was able to take the lead, and everyone else took it for granted.

At this moment, three miles ahead, there stood a huge tree that was more than a hundred feet tall and as thick as dozens of people could hug it. It was brown in color, and its branches spread out in all directions, winding and curved, with a majestic shape.

, just like a horned dragon.

Beneath the ground, the roots of the whirling sacred tree are rooted deep into the ground, probably more than a few miles deep, and because the roots are intertwined, they extend to an unknown number of miles.

I don’t know what kind of soil this piece of land is made of. Magical weapons and spells can hardly cause damage to it, let alone penetrate the land and damage its roots.

There are rumors that there are less than ten trees of this kind of sacred tree in the Three Thousand Worlds, which shows how rare, precious and coveted it is!

At this time, many branches on the sacred tree are covered with a layer of faint black light. This black light seems to be trembling slightly, and the countless leaves gathered together and woven into a dense canopy are all set off like black jade.

.

Very beautiful and very amazing!

Almost all the monks were stunned. At this time, many female monks also came here, either standing side by side with some men, or just standing aside and watching without coming forward.

But apart from the disciples who were brought here by their masters, the only ones in Ruyi Immortal Villa who could come near the sacred tree were Jurchens at the Golden Core stage or above, and female cultivators who were already in love with disciples from other sects.

Suddenly, the celestial phenomena became faster.

Suddenly, the surging spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be sucked in by the sacred tree, draining away all the whirlpools of power.

The majesty of the sacred tree grew even stronger, and the squeezing clouds in the sky finally let out a bright explosion.

Everyone knows that this will be a sign of the coming thunder disaster.

And soon, a strange phenomenon reappeared in the clouds!

For a moment, thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, purple lightning sizzled, and countless electric snakes shuttled in the clouds, showing the boundless power of the coming thunder disaster. Under the sky, a giant tree stood tall and rooted deeply, not even a hair.

Not afraid, the entire tree gradually turned black, becoming a presence that could not be ignored in the gradually dimming skylight.

This scene is shocking!

"Crack--"

A dark purple thunder column rushed down and hit the crown of the giant tree! It seemed that it was going to devour it alive in the next moment!

In an instant, someone exclaimed.

"Thunder Tribulation! Thunder Tribulation has begun!"

"This is the Forty-nine Thunder Tribulation! It's terrifying that the whirling sacred tree has to withstand such a thunder tribulation!"

"The thirty-six whirling fruits produced at one time are the thirty-six Nascent Soul Ancestors. Such an earth-shattering ability will naturally lead to an earth-shattering disaster!"

"It is indeed a worthwhile trip to see such a sacred tree!"
