Eternal Tranquility

Those who cultivate immortality grasp the heaven and earth and grasp the yin and yang, so they can live in heaven and earth for a long time without any end.

Hundreds of years had passed since the last time they met, but neither Liu Qinghuan nor Suo Chen had changed their appearance at all, as if time had never passed.

Su Chen looked him over, smiled with satisfaction and said: "When we first met, you were still a minor cultivator of spiritual transformation. In the blink of an eye, your cultivation has almost caught up with mine, and your future life is terrifying."

Liu Qinghuan replied respectfully: "Senior, thank you for your praise. Your cultivation has reached the state of perfection. Even if I practice for thousands more years, it will be difficult for me to reach it."

Su Chen had been a fusion monk many years ago, and now he was only one step away from the Mahayana. The higher the level of cultivation, the more time it took. A thousand years to complete the fusion period was considered fast.

Suochen smiled and said, "Young friend, you don't have to be humble. I thought that you would come to visit me, so I waited in the cave for a long time."

Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but was stunned, remembering that the other party had indeed invited him, but it was the critical moment when Yun Mengze returned to the Wanhu Realm, and he couldn't spare his time to visit a fusion overhaul he had only met once.

What's more, he thought the other party was just being polite. Although both of them were members of the Aoki Holy Body, he didn't know the details of the Eternal Life Palace at that time. The identity of the sweeper was too mysterious, which made him quite worried.

"Thanks to the invitation from senior, I also planned to go." He said with regret on his face: "It is also because junior is not that lucky. Just when he was caught up in worldly affairs, he missed the opportunity to accept the teachings of senior. I have always thought that It’s a pity. But now that I’m seeing you again, I want to seize the opportunity and ask you for advice.”

"Hahaha, it's easy to talk!" Saochen laughed loudly: "But this time I came to you, but I have something serious to do. I guess someone has told you about Xiangenrong before you came, right?"

After chatting for a long time, they finally got down to business. Liu Qinghuan looked solemn and said, "Fellow Taoist Tongzhen from the Immortal Alliance did mention something, but he didn't go into details."

"Hmm..." Swooping pondered for a moment, waved the Qinglijun waiting aside, and then led him out: "You can go and see for yourself first."

The towering boundary wall is like a fortified pass, majestic and majestic. Outside the wall is endless void, and inside the wall is the Qingtan Barren Continent where the Immortal Root Banyan Tree is located.

The weather is fine today, and there is no poisonous miasma that pervaded the entire area when we last came. Instead, there is mist like smoke, floating over the endless swamps as far as the eye can see. The most eye-catching thing is naturally the huge tree shadow that can still be glimpsed even from a very far distance.

Liu Qinghuan sighed: "That must be the tree body of the Immortal Root Banyan tree, so huge..."

Sweeping dust said: "The Qingtan Desert Continent covers thousands of miles, and most of it is covered by the canopy of the Immortal Root Banyan Tree, but compared to its root system that spans the entire Wanhu Realm, its tree body is not huge. "

Liu Qinghuan thought about it. The Immortal Root Banyan Tree is a higher-grade Immortal Tree than the Heavenly Divine Tree. It is normal for it to occupy the entire continent as a place for growth.

The two jumped out of the boundary wall and flew towards the depths of the swamp. Not long after, the sky above their heads was blocked by the canopy of trees with dense branches and leaves, and countless thick aerial roots hung down towards the swamp. They seemed to be walking through a dark forest. In the forest, the sound of birds and insects could be heard from time to time.

Sweeping dust asked: "How do you feel?"

Liu Qinghuan's consciousness had already been released, and he turned around after hearing the words. Naturally, the other party's words were not about his personal feelings. He thought about it for a moment and said, "Junior Xu has little talent and little knowledge. At present, the Immortal Root Banyan tree has lush branches and leaves, and the wood is full of energy. I don't notice anything strange." "

Sweeping dust just nodded, flew for a while, and asked: "What now?"

Liu Qinghuan's eyes were filled with shock: "How could this happen?"

In front of it is the trunk of the Immortal Banyan Tree, which is comparable to the Optimus Pillar. With the trunk as the boundary, the branches and leaves on one side are lush and green, while on the other side they are mostly withered and withered.

Sweeping the dust caressing the tree trunk, he said: "The specific cause has not yet been found. This situation is really rare, especially for fairy species like the Immortal Root Ficus. This kind of disease should not occur in the first place. I read through the classics and found out No similar records have been found.”

Liu Qinghuan reached out to catch a leaf that happened to be flying down. He saw that the leaf surface was dry and curled, and the stems and veins were thin and contained no aura.

This is a bit abnormal. Even if the leaves fall, the spiritual energy will not be lost at all.

His eyes moved among the branches and leaves above his head, and he said: "Senior, didn't the Immortal Alliance say that they would send people to check the root systems of the major states? Is there anything abnormal?"

Sweeping dust said: "At least no abnormalities have been found so far, but if half of the tree is dead, it will have consequences sooner or later."

Liu Qinghuan thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think this tree is diseased, or is there someone behind it?"

Sweeping dust's eyes became dark and he said: "The people of the Qingli Army insist that it is the former. However, as they guard this place and claim to be impregnable and indestructible, they will naturally not admit that someone has sneaked into the core area of ​​Qingli Barren Continent."

Liu Qinghuan understood what he meant, and it was clear that Su Chen did not think that Xian Genrong was sick.

He sighed again and said: "The real reason is difficult to find out for the time being, but we cannot let this tree wither. Therefore, I sent someone to call you."

Liu Qinghuan said cautiously: "I wonder what this junior can do?"

"You and I are both the Holy Body of Green Wood, and the Green Wood Qi we carry is rich in vitality and can moisturize all things. With our power, we can transport the Green Wood Qi to Xian Genrong, which may be able to temporarily maintain the situation."

"This..." Liu Qinghuan said hesitantly: "This tree is so huge. We are just mortal bodies. Even if we transfer all our spiritual energy to it, it will be a drop in the bucket, right?"

"This is just a temporary solution." Swoop said: "In addition to you and me, I also called a few monks with pure wood bodies or single wood spiritual roots. The Immortal Alliance is also looking for monks with this physique. Let's work together. , at least the aura of the tree will not be lost anymore.”

Liu Qinghuan thought about it and found that there was no other way. In short, he was a minor cultivator in the Yang Reality Realm and just obeyed orders. There was just one thing that made him a little worried.

He hesitated slightly, cupped his hands and said: "Senior, I ask you to help keep the matter of my Aoki Holy Body a secret. I don't want to cause any more trouble."

The Aoki Sacred Body has the heaven-defying effect of accelerating the growth of elixirs and spirit trees. If outsiders find out, it is hard to say whether there will be big forces or some unscrupulous cultivators who will force or even kidnap him to plant elixirs and the like. something happened.

He does not have a strong background like Sweeping Dust. The Palace of Eternal Life is backed by Jiutian Qingming, and few people in the lower world dare to provoke him.
