Chapter 1 A willow tree was first planted in Hongmeng, and it was signed in the mountains for thousands of years(1/2)
There is a sacred mountain in the center of the prehistoric world, called Buzhou Mountain, which was transformed by the spine of the great Pangu god who opened up Hongmeng. It stands tall and the mountains stretch for countless thousands of miles.
The rising sun rises in the east, and in a valley deep in Buzhou Mountain, a green willow tree bathes in the morning light, like jasper.
"I... have become a willow tree!?"
Liu Bai murmured to himself, but could not hear the sound he made.
In his previous life, he died of a car accident at a young age, and his consciousness became hazy.
When he regained consciousness again, he was shocked to find that he had become a willow tree.
At the same time, he also heard the prompt "The sign-in system is successfully bound".
Liu Bai's heart was broken and he was completely uninterested in the sign-in system.
It took a long time before Liu Bai cheered up again.
"Since God doesn't let himself die, then live again! Even as a willow tree."
He bathed in the sun and clicked on the system interface to select sign-in.
"Ding~ Buzhoushan successfully signs in, and rewards 30 years of mana! Do you choose to accept it now?"
Mana?
Liu Bai was slightly stunned and clicked Receive on the system interface.
In an instant, he felt the air around him suddenly become sticky, pouring into his trunks, branches and leaves like liquid.
Is this mana?
Liu Bai felt that his branches became thicker, his branches became tougher, and his leaves began to shine with a crystal light.
He quickly turned on the check-in system again and took a closer look at the introduction.
The introduction says that all things in the world are born according to the great way.
Check in at any place every day and you can get the Taoist rhyme fortune in that place.
If the place you sign in is a famous mountain with a real name, the rewards you will receive will be even more generous.
Maybe it is a magic pill, maybe it is a magical power of martial arts, or maybe it is a spiritual treasure and magic weapon...
In this case, wouldn’t you be able to cultivate into a willow tree demon? You can even turn into a human!
Liu Bai, who felt that life was full of hope again, officially started check-in day after day.
"Buzhou Mountain successfully signs in, and rewards 30 years of mana!"
"The sign-in in Buzhou Mountain will be rewarded with twenty years of mana!"
"The sign-in in Buzhou Mountain will be rewarded with a hundred years of mana!"
...
Since the day he first signed in, Liu Bai has already been unable to count how many times he signed in, but the reward he received is always only mana.
There is no time in the mountains. What Liu Bai has to do every day is to check in, absorb mana, and then tease the crazy bees, waves, butterflies, birds and beasts in the valley, and finally fall asleep.
At that time, he was just a small sapling, only more than a foot tall, and was rooted in the soil. He was exposed to the sun and rain, and the spring, autumn, cold and heat, as if the wind blew a little higher, it would make him break in the waist.
Now, he is a giant tree with branches that are more than ten feet thick and branches and leaves covering the entire valley.
Thousands of branches hang down like waterfalls.
If he wanted, the willow branches would be enough to cover more than a hundred miles.
However, this scene only exists in Liu Bai's own imagination. He has never actually operated it. In his opinion, this high-profile behavior is no different from seeking death.
He knew very well that he was just an ordinary willow tree. Compared with the gourd vine that once existed on the top of the mountain, which was ranked among the innate spiritual roots, he was ordinary enough to the dust.
The innate spiritual roots have already contained the laws of great Taoism at the beginning of their birth, and he can only instinctively absorb the sun, essence, and moonlight, and refine it into his own magic power.
But what if that gourd vine is ranked among the innate spiritual roots?
It’s because someone picked the gourd, and even the vines were taken away, so maybe some spiritual treasure would be refined.
That was the first time I saw a "people" in the long tree life of Willow White!
Those people looked extraordinary. One of the middle-aged men was riding in the Nine Dragon Agarwood Chariot, holding Jade Ruyi in his hand, and was powerful without anger. Just one look made Liu Bai lose his mind and he was confused and he was not sure how long it took to recover.
When he regained his consciousness, the people on the top of the mountain had already left the fungus.
It was precisely because of witnessing the fate of the gourd vine that Liu Bai, who was just a small willow tree, developed a strong sense of crisis.
When he was sleeping, he had dreamed more than once that a powerful man passed by the valley and was happy to see the hunter. He uprooted him and refined it into a magic weapon.
He also imagined that when he one day transforms into a body, traveling through famous mountains and rivers - he met a powerful man and easily knocked him back to his original form and refined it into a magic weapon.
Even if he decided to transform into a desolate place, he couldn't help but wonder if there would be a powerful person who would meet him for the same purpose, and then he would knock him back to his original form...
It’s not that he is timid and afraid of things, he scares himself.
Since he knew that the place where he was rooted in Buzhou Mountain, Liu Bai has known what kind of world he has been in.
The prehistoric world!
In this great Route, where golden immortals are not as good as dogs, the survival of the weak is the simplest and most direct truth.
Although Liu Bai grew up in the deep mountains and didn't know what was going on outside, since he could still see Buzhou Mountain reaching the Nine Heavens, it means that Gonggong's anger hit Buzhou Mountain has not happened yet.
Now may be the first time Hongmeng is in its prime and ferocious beasts are rampant; it may be the time when the three clans of Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng and Shiqilin are in a row and compete for the overlord of the prehistoric world; or the demon palms, witches and earth are in charge, and the two clans compete for the luck of the only protagonist in the world...
No matter what era it is now, it is very unsafe for Liu Bai, the big willow tree.
His greatest hope now is to obtain a method that can enable him to cultivate into the innate body of Tao.
He also tried to create his own cultivation method, and learned to activate the magic power and run the Zhoutian as seen in later novels. However, he had neither dantian nor divine sect in his body, so he really didn't know how to practice.
What are the willow trees?
He can control all these at will, as long as he can, as long as he cannot leave the soil.
Liu Bai also thought of pulling the tree roots out of the ground and using them as legs to transfer them to other places to sign in, but when he was about to try, he instinctively felt a great danger.
People move to live, trees move to die!
Even if he has immeasurable mana, he cannot get rid of the fact that he is just a willow tree before he transforms.
...
On this day, he was preparing to sign in in the morning light like countless years in the past.
A oriole flew from a distance and landed on the branches, then turned into a girl with wings on her back.
She bowed respectfully to Liu Shu, and then said excitedly: "Do you see Liu Shen? I have finally cultivated to become a demon!"
The willow tree has no mouth, so naturally it can't reply.
Although he could hear, see, and feel through branches and leaves, he could not communicate directly with other intelligent creatures.
The girl was obviously used to the silence of the willow tree and said to herself:
"Shen Liu, will you transform into shape in the future? It would be great if you could practice too. If I leave here in the future, I can take you with me... Master said that when we become demon immortals, we will take us out of Buzhou Mountain..."
The girl's nagging voice made Liu Bai quite depressed. Even the little oriole that built a nest on her body had successfully transformed. When would she transform?
Liu Bai had long observed and explored the skills practiced by Little Yellow Lion, but unfortunately it was a practice method specially for birds and was not applicable to him.
At this time, a leopard, three feet long, quickly ran into the valley, staring at the small oriole on the willow tree, and said, "Junior sister, are you talking to this big tree again? Didn't the master say that? This is just an ordinary willow tree, not a spiritual root alien at all..."
The little yellow oriole sat on the willow branch, holding her chin with both hands, and said a little depressedly: "But my mother told me that the willow god is not an ordinary big willow tree. He had activated his wisdom long ago before, and was a spiritual root born innately. This is the words passed down by the ancestors and grandfathers."
The leopard rolled on the spot and turned into a leopard-print boy. He stared at the little yellow oriole and said dissatisfiedly: "You don't even believe what Master said? Master once said that wherever there are spiritual roots and treasures, there must be auspicious clouds and a thousand auspicious colors. Look at this willow tree, what does it have?"
The little yellow oriole was silent for a while, and suddenly appeared and flew into her bird's nest.
Seeing this, the leopard smugly shouted at the treetops: "Sister sister, don't be angry. This time, my senior brother is here to convey the order of Master. A few days later, there will be a distinguished guest. Master ordered you to get up early this morning to pick a hundred flowers and fruits and send them to the cave to entertain guests."
After saying that, the leopard, regardless of whether the little oriole had heard it, showed its true body and ran out of the valley like lightning.
Liu Bai checked around and confirmed that no one was paying attention. He started to check in on a routine basis.
"Ding~ Buzhou Mountain sign-in successfully will be rewarded with eighty years of mana."
"Ding~ Achievement--Buzhou Mountain signs in for tens of millions of years and receives a reward from Taichu Taoist body"
Taichu Taoist body?
Liu Bai was stunned for a moment before choosing to collect it.
In an instant.
A colorful auspicious cloud suddenly appeared in the clear sky, shining like a canopy between the foothills of Buzhou Mountain.
At the same time, countless seven-colored treasure lotus gushed out of thin air from the clearings of the mountains and forests of Buzhou Mountain, emitting billions of auspicious rays of glow.
The little oriole on the treetops flew out of the nest instantly, and the leopard outside the valley stopped immediately...
Countless creatures who opened their wisdom on the southern foot of Buzhou Mountain were shocked and looked at the strange phenomena in the world in front of them.
Then, they all bowed down and bowed to the heaven and earth.
At the same time, a demon god with green face and fangs and human body and beast head flashed out of the cave, looking at the auspicious glows all over the sky, and was surprised and suspicious.
