Chapter 253: To Live! (Happy Chinese New Year!)
Chapter 252 To Live! (Happy Chinese New Year!)
Unexpected Harvest!
Zhao Yi didn’t expect that the male lead would know where that thing came from.
“What is the Underworld Tree?”
“Don’t know.”
The male lead shook his head with a solemn expression.
“I have previously peered into the long river of time and seen a terrifying demonic tree that is perched in the endless void, spanning across the heavens and the worlds! Because the places where that tree passed through were devastated by living beings, and the heavens and earth were all turned into the Underworld, that tree was also known as the Underworld Tree.”
“And then.” Zhao Yi pursued.
Later on.
The male lead didn’t continue to say more.
Because then he saw Zhao Yi in the long river of time, and then he went to see Zhao Yi’s future, and forgot about that Underworld Tree.
On top of that, the male lead ignored the Underworld Tree because he didn’t believe that there could be such a horrible existence in this world.
The male lead at that time had never left the Immortal Cultivation World, but from the size of the Immortal Cultivation World, he could also surmise how big the Spirit Realm and the three thousand small worlds outside were.
The branches of the Underworld Tree had actually spanned three thousand small worlds, the male lead simply could not dare to imagine how terrifying that tree’s main body was.
It was because he didn’t believe in the existence of the Underworld Tree that the expression on the male lead’s face was so shocked when he suddenly heard about that terrifying tree from Zhao Yi.
“Impossible!”
The male lead took a deep breath to control the ten thousand waves churning in his heart.
He gritted his teeth and said, “The time is not right! Even if that tree really exists, according to the changes in the long river of time, it will only show up three years later, so how come it’s popping up now?”
“Three feet of ice is not cold in a day!” Zhao Yi shook his head, “The Underworld Tree’s present appearance that you saw in the long river of time was that He had already begun to invade the three thousand small worlds. Before this, He had actually been lurking for over a hundred thousand years.”
As Zhao Yi said these words, he thought of the Sage of Time who had died on the beams in front of the doorway of the Great Heroic Treasure Hall, and the endless divine soul lines on the roots of the black tree under the great river.
Not only did that monster possess infinite potential, but it also had extreme endurance.
In order to accumulate power, He had lurked for over a hundred thousand years.
Therefore.
The moment He came out, the heavens directly collapsed!
“Over a hundred thousand years .” The male lead’s face suddenly turned very ugly, “Buddha also ascended over a hundred thousand years ago, could that monster really be .”
Zhao Yi glanced at him with a gloating look in his eyes and tsked, “I told you before, you better pray that the Buddha and that monster are the same person. Otherwise you’ll have to suffer from two non-humans at the same time!”
“The monster is going to patch up its own rules, and it definitely won’t let you go.”
“In order for the Buddha to cut down the demon, destroy the monster, and end his own karma, he must master a complete Buddha’s Great Dao, thus certifying the fruition of the Great Dao Sage.”
“Therefore, regardless of whether it’s a monster or a Buddha, the Buddha’s light that you’re carrying behind your head is something they’re bound and determined to get!”
Male lead: “……”
I don’t know if he’s pretending, or if he’s really putting his life and death at risk.
Zhao Yi’s words didn’t scare the male lead.
The male lead was more concerned about the ordinary people in the world of Immortal Cultivation.
He frowned and said, “According to what you said, after the Underworld Tree infests the pagoda and then attacks externally, won’t the Immortal Cultivation World bear the brunt? In that case, the ordinary people of the Immortal Cultivation World would be in danger!”
Zhao Yi nodded, “Theoretically, this is indeed the case.”
“Theory?” The male lead was puzzled.
Zhao Yi waved his hand and casually said, “The biggest crisis in the Immortal Cultivation World today isn’t that Underworld Tree, it’s the Sages of the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds. If this hurdle doesn’t hold up, the ordinary people of the Immortal Cultivation World will be directly finished, and it won’t be the Underworld Tree’s turn to wreak havoc.”
Male Master: “…… makes sense.” Then, he asked Zhao Yi: “What are you going to do?”
“Cool it.”
Zhao Yi said carelessly, “Whether it’s the sages of the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Minor Worlds, or that Underworld Tree in the middle of the Pagoda Mystic Realm, it’s not something we can fight against. Instead of working in vain, it would be better to just lie flat. Although lying flat won’t solve the problem, it will at least be comfortable.”
Although the male lead couldn’t hear what lying flat meant, he probably guessed what Zhao Yi meant from the context in which he spoke.
The male lead frowned and said, “Should we just sit and wait for death?”
“That’s not true.”
Zhao Yi had been staring at the pagoda in front of him as he spoke.
He asked the male lead, “I remember you said before that after entering the pagoda, as long as you have a place to go in mind, the pagoda will send someone to the corresponding secret realm?”
The male lead nodded, “Indeed.”
Zhao Yi asked, “How does this work?”
The male lead froze for a moment and shook his head hesitantly, “I haven’t thought about this point, the people from the Little Thunder Sound Temple said that it was the Buddha’s great magical power. But according to what you said, that monster is related to the Buddha, then the idiosyncrasies that this pagoda exhibits are not done by the Buddha.”
Zhao Yi nodded.
The male lead’s words were similar to his speculation.
If the one controlling this pagoda was really a Buddha, there was no way Zhao Yi could have escaped before.
There was also no need for that monster to infiltrate each secret space one by one, He could have simply taken all the secret spaces directly for Himself.
When the male master saw Zhao Yi staring at the pagoda secret realm, he suddenly reacted, “You mean to say that this pagoda actually has a spirit?”
Zhao Yi nodded, “That answer is obvious. If it didn’t produce spiritual awareness, how would it judge everyone’s thoughts? I also have someone under me who is proficient in formation and forbidden systems, and she said that the core of formation and forbidden systems are rules. The rules are rigid and cannot vary from person to person.”
Hearing this, the male lead said thoughtfully, “Are you trying to use the power of the pagoda to suppress that Underworld Tree?”
Zhao Yi nodded, “I do have this idea, but the specifics still need to verify something.”
“Verify what?” The male lord asked.
Zhao Yi withdrew his gaze from the pagoda’s walls and calmly said:
“First, to determine if this pagoda truly has spiritual intelligence.”
“Second, verify whether the expansion of the Undertree will be a threat to the pagoda’s spiritual intelligence.”
“Third, try to see if it’s possible to strip the pagoda’s secret realm from the Immortal Cultivation World.”
“Fourth, try to see if the Chaotic Qi will be harmful to the Undertree.”
“Fifth, find out if the Immortal Cultivation World has any other passages connecting to the Spirit Realm as well as the other Lesser Thousand Worlds, and destroy them if they do, retaining only the Pagoda Mystic Realm as the one entrance and exit,…”
The male lord’s gaze flickered, “I can understand the first few, determining whether or not the Pagoda Secret Realm has a spiritual sense is to determine whether or not there are potential partners. Determining whether the Undertree is a threat to the Pagoda can determine whether the Spirit Sense is a foe or friend. What does that last one about destroying the other passages mean?”
After the male lead finished speaking, he suddenly reacted, “You’re trying to get people from the Spirit Realm and the Small Thousand Worlds to test the Underworld Tree? This approach is too risky! The strength of the cultivators of the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Minor Worlds far exceeds that of the cultivators of the Immortal Cultivation World. What if the Underworld Tree devoured those cultivators from the Spirit World and their strength surged again? At that time, the Underworld Tree’s invasion of the Immortal Cultivation World might be triggered in advance!”
“You also said that was possible.” Zhao Yi casually waved his hand.
“It’s also possible that that monster got a taste of the sweetness and killed directly to the Spirit World?”
“It’s a dead end anyways, so why not take a gamble?”
“If we lose, we’ll die early and live forever, and if we win, we can live for many years.”
“There is hope when one lives, better to die than to live!”
