Venerable Yuan

The mist-shrouded mountains are filled with silence.

rustle!

The soft sound of feet stepping on withered yellow leaves suddenly sounded, and only two figures, one old and one young, were seen slowly coming from a distance, walking slowly in the mountains and forests.

The two figures are naturally Mr. Xuan and Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan looked around curiously. He was already approaching the sealed main peak. In the past, ordinary disciples were prohibited from approaching it.

"Next, follow my footsteps and don't make any mistakes, otherwise, no one can save you." Old Xuan's voice suddenly came from the front.

When Zhou Yuan heard this, his heart suddenly trembled. He looked forward and found that the space there was slightly distorted, and there was an indescribable dangerous aura that made Zhou Yuan's hair stand on end.

"Are we going to enter the sealed area?" Zhou Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Mr. Xuan nodded.

Cold sweat suddenly appeared on Zhou Yuan's back. It is said that this main peak is in a seal and is extremely dangerous. If someone breaks into it without permission, not to mention someone from the Taichu realm, even the powerful ones from the Divine Mansion and Tianyang realm will generally be trapped in the seal. I'm afraid they all died in an instant.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't wander around, nothing will happen." Mr. Xuan reassured and walked into the area where the space was somewhat distorted.

Zhou Yuan hesitated slightly, then gritted his teeth and quickly followed. At the same time, every step he took was carefully placed on Mr. Xuan's footprints, not daring to make the slightest mistake.

So, the two of them walked in the mountains one behind the other.

After burning the incense, cold sweat continued to fall on Zhou Yuan's forehead. Obviously, moving forward in this way made him very stressed, so he could only ask in a low voice: "How long do you have left, senior?"

Elder Xuan ignored him, so Zhou Yuan could only shut up and follow him.

After another long time, Mr. Xuan stretched out his withered finger and lightly touched the void in front of him. Suddenly, the fog in front of him dispersed, and the originally distorted space began to return to normal.

"alright."

Hearing Mr. Xuan's voice, Zhou Yuan's tense body gradually relaxed. He glanced around and found that the dangerous aura began to subside.

"Senior, can you control the seal on the main peak?" Zhou Yuan couldn't help but said, with a hint of shock in his eyes.

Mr. Xuan shook his head and said: "The seal on the main peak was personally arranged by the master back then. How could I control it? I just stayed here for too many years and was barely able to avoid some dangers."

Zhou Yuan was a little disappointed when he heard this. If Mr. Xuan could really control the seal here, wouldn't he get a huge advantage?

"What you want is right in front of you." Old Xuan pointed to the front and said.

When Zhou Yuan heard this, he quickly raised his head and glanced away. He saw that the ground in front of him was dark in color, like a swamp. In the center of this vast swamp, there was a huge towering ancient tree.

The ancient tree exuded the breath of time and stood quietly. The thick trunk was covered with things like scales, and there was a faint pressure emanating from it.

The ancient branches have lush leaves and stretch out, covering the sky in this area. The branches hang down and remain motionless.

Looking at the ancient tree, Zhou Yuan felt that the half-completed "Taiyi pattern" in his body was vibrating violently, exuding an extremely longing emotion.

This was even stronger than Su Duan's ancient wooden bracelet before.

"Senior, what is this?" Zhou Yuan asked excitedly. Obviously, the Yimu energy contained in the ancient tree in front of him was extraordinary.

"Dragon scale locust tree, this is an ancient tree transplanted by the owner back then. It is also an extremely rare ancient tree. If you can dig some out of it, it shouldn't be too difficult to perfect your Taiyi pattern. ." Mr. Xuan smiled.

When Zhou Yuan heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

But before he could show his joy, Mr. Xuan continued: "But I have to remind you that this dragon-scaled locust tree has been around for a long time and has already given birth to spiritual wisdom. It also has a violent personality and is currently sleeping. Speaking of which, This is your only chance."

"Otherwise, when it wakes up, not to mention you, even the elders of Tianyang Realm will not be able to get close to it."

Zhou Yuan's expression changed slightly, and when he looked at the quiet ancient tree in front of him again, he was full of fear. He did not expect that this ancient tree alone was so terrifying.

"Since he is sleeping, there shouldn't be any danger, right?" Zhou Yuan asked carefully.

Xuan Lao said: "Although it is sleeping, at this level, it has its own induction. Once a strong enemy approaches, it will naturally be stimulated to wake up. But the good thing now is that you are too weak and cannot achieve the stimulation at all." The point where it wakes up.”

Zhou Yuan was a little embarrassed. Is it a good thing to be too weak?

"Of course, even if it won't be awakened by your stimulation, it will instinctively fight back once a living creature approaches...and you have to survive its instinctive counterattack and dig some tree scales from its trunk. .”

Mr. Xuan sat down to the side with his bamboo broom in his arms and said hoarsely: "Whether you can do it depends on your ability. Anyway, I have tried my best by bringing you here. If you can't do it, that's it. No such fate."

Zhou Yuan looked at the huge dragon-scaled locust tree, feeling the vague sense of pressure, and shook his head with a wry smile. The opportunity was right in front of him, but it didn't seem that easy to get.

"How about it? Do you dare? If you don't have confidence, hurry up and go back. Otherwise, it will be difficult to go back if you take the wrong road in the dark." Mr. Xuan took out the withered yellow tobacco leaves from his arms, rolled them up, and lit them. There was spicy smoke. Rising, his turbid eyes looked at Zhou Yuan through the smoke.

call.

Under his gaze, Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, and a ruthless look appeared in his eyes. There was no reason to let go of the opportunity before him.

"You've already come here, there's no point in returning empty-handed." Zhou Yuan said.

Old Xuan seemed to smile, but there was no emotion on his wrinkled old face. Then he waved his sleeves and a black shadow flew towards Zhou Yuan.

"Since you have the courage, then give it a try. Just relying on words will have no effect."

Zhou Yuan reached out to take it, looked at it, and was slightly stunned, because he found that it turned out to be a dark hatchet. The blade was mottled, and it was not clear how sharp it was. There seemed to be faint traces of ancient blood. contamination.

"Relying on your strength, even if the dragon-scaled locust tree stands for you to cut, you can't cut off a single scale... Let me lend you this knife. I used this knife to cut off countless scales to make tea for the owner. Drink it, so it has some restraint effect on it." Xuan Laoba said while puffing on the tobacco leaves.

Zhou Yuan nodded, inserted the dark hatchet into his waist, and then fixed his gaze on the huge dragon-scaled locust tree, with a look of determination in his eyes.

No matter how scary this dragon scale locust tree is, he will give it a try today.

Otherwise, his Taiyi pattern cannot be perfected, and if the Taiyi pattern cannot be perfected, the Xiaoxuan Saint Body cannot be cultivated. This will even affect the chief battle at the end of the year.

Sometimes, when an opportunity appears in front of you, you should try your best to take advantage of it!

Uh-huh!

The next moment, Zhou Yuan's eyes turned cold and he stamped his feet. His figure turned into a puff of smoke and shot away directly towards the dragon scale locust tree.
