Chapter 284: The Three-Life Fruit on the Three-Life Tree, the True Supreme, Not Entering the Reincarnation

Soon, the black wooden boat docked beside a small floating island.

This is not a floating island, but a flat reef protruding from the surface of a tributary.

Then a small yard was built on the flat reef.

The area is not big, less than 80 square meters, which is far less than my own yard.

"Do you live here on weekdays?" Su Mu asked, pointing to the small courtyard in front of him after he got on the reef floating island.

Hearing this, the skinny old man touched the back of his head awkwardly and said, "The place is indeed a little small, please forgive me, senior."

"This is not my exclusive place. I am on a mission, so I am living here temporarily."

This is a long river of time. How could he be worthy enough to own such a large mansion here?

This small courtyard is a "Yin Palace" that the underworld spent a lot of effort and countless years to build.

There are a total of eighteen "Yin Palaces" in the long river of time. They are built in a central location that is most concentrated and closest to each reincarnation bridge. It is a work point used by the underworld to supervise and maintain the reincarnation bridge.

Therefore, this "Yin Palace" is a public place in the underworld, similar to an office location, so this is not Lao Shi's own private residence.

Although it is not a private mansion, not everyone can live in it. The person who can live in the "Yindian Mansion" must be at least someone of the same level as Lao Shi.

After approaching the small courtyard, Su Mu found that although it was small, the facilities were very complete and it had everything it needed.

In the square courtyard, the most eye-catching thing is the huge tree in the yard.

Five people cannot hug this tree together. The crown of the tree spreads out and directly covers the sky above the small courtyard, forming a natural roof.

Looking up, you can see that there are fruits hanging from the branches, which are fluorescent in color. They are the size of a thumb and look a bit like lantern fruit.

They hang down densely, like small lanterns, forming a starry sky. Each lantern fruit emits a faint dark yellow light, which is very beautiful.

Su Mu sat down, and Lao Shi also took out a pot of wine and a cup of tea from the house and placed them on the table. He also took out a few fresh spiritual fruits of unknown variety as dessert.

"Senior, would you like to drink some wine?" asked Lao Shi with a smile.

"Okay, have a drink."

Su Mu hasn't drunk for a long time. He has earned so many favor points today. It's a rare opportunity to be happy, so he might as well have a good time.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Su Mu's eyes lit up.

Good wine!

This wine is in no way worse than the wine you make yourself. Although it is a little strong, drinking strong liquor occasionally does have a unique flavor.

After seeing Su Mu finish the bowl in one gulp, Lao Shi sighed in his heart, saying that he was worthy of being a senior. This was one of the most precious wines in the underworld - "Duan Yan Wine".

This kind of wine is usually used to entertain very distinguished guests and is famous for its "strong" taste. He himself only dared to drink it in small sips each time, and at most half a bowl at a time.

He, the tenth brother, had been in the underworld for so many years, and he had only managed to privately collect three jars. This was the last one.

After seeing Su Mu finish drinking, Lao Shi immediately refilled his bowl.

Su Mu was in a rare mood and drank five bowls in a row.

When Lao Shi saw that his senior drank so much, he didn't feel sorry at all. Instead, he was very happy. It was his honor that the senior gave him so much face.

Hasn't this wine been treasured for so many years just for this day?

In order to drink happily with his senior, Lao Shi also drank two large bowls, his face flushed.

After drinking enough wine, Su Mu pointed to the lantern fruits above his head and asked, "What kind of tree is this? What kind of fruit is this? It's quite strange."

Hearing this, Old Eleven was stunned, then replied with a smile: "This tree is called the Three-Life Tree."

“Did you grow it yourself?”

"No, no, no, it was not planted by me. It was planted by some elders in the family. I am just taking care of and maintaining it." Old Ten waved his hand.

The Three Lives Tree is a "holy tree" of the underworld. It is not just a type of tree, but a collection of laws.

After the death of some powerful creatures in the heavens and myriad worlds, they do not enter reincarnation directly, but will become the "Three Lives Fruit" on the "Three Lives Tree", which are these thumb-sized lantern fruits.

After turning into the Three Life Fruit, their memories, perceptions, etc. are all contained in the Three Life Fruit.

When the San Sheng Fruit is ripe, it will automatically fall to the ground, turn into a reincarnated soul, re-enter the cycle of reincarnation, and be reborn again.

What makes them different from other reincarnated souls is that after turning into the Three Lives Fruit and being reincarnated, they will retain some memories, perceptions, or causes and effects from their previous lives.

This is also why, in some worlds, newborn babies can bring about strange phenomena in heaven and earth and are revered by the world as the "reincarnation of the great power."

In terms of level, this "Three-Life Tree" is much higher in status than the Tenth One.

He has no qualifications and no ability to interfere with the "Three Lives Tree", he can only play a caretaker role.

Above the long river of the world, there are a total of eighteen "Yin Palaces", and correspondingly there are a total of eighteen "Three Life Trees".

After a normal death, those living beings who can turn into the Three Life Fruit and then enter reincarnation will become the top-notch ones in the heavens and all worlds.

Of course, there are also some top bosses who can even circumvent the "Law of Reincarnation". Even if they "die", they will have their own way to reincarnate, skipping it directly and circumventing the constraints of the Law of Reincarnation.

However, a big shot of this level is not someone that Lao Shi can get in touch with.

"Excuse me, can I pick one and take it home?"

Su Mu got excited on the spur of the moment and asked the old man.

His eyes were fixed on a fist-sized lantern fruit in the center. This lantern fruit was the largest and most special one, very conspicuous, and stood out from the crowd.

Hearing this, Old Eleven looked embarrassed. This was not something he could decide.

Even if he agreed, he couldn't do it.

Each of the Three Life Fruits here is protected by the law of reincarnation. Even if you want to pick it off by force, you cannot.

Moreover, even if he could take it off, he did not have the authority or the qualifications to decide.

“Yes, you can,” the old man said before he finished speaking.

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Su Mu waved his hand and picked the fist-sized lantern fruit and held it in his palm.

Seeing this scene, Lao Shi's eyes widened, and he lost hold of the bowl in his hand, which fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

What shocked him was not that Su Mu was able to pick the San Sheng Fruit. After all, it was not surprising that the senior could do this as he was guarding the River of Time.

He was shocked. How did the senior take this one off? !

The old man's mind went blank, he sobered up all of a sudden, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Su Mu asked, "What's wrong?"

I just picked a fruit, why did the other party react so strongly?
