Chapter 86 Chapter 86 A desperate struggle to survive.
The Qilin Pearl was retrieved, and Lu Er's cultivation also made some breakthroughs. This trip to the Sword Sect was a good harvest.
Qin Zhou sat on the cliff at the top of the seventh peak of the Sword Sect, with the charcoal pencil in his hand, still writing and drawing on the cardboard, gradually outlining the appearance of the jewelry.
"After those cultivators left the Sword Sect that day, the world of immortal cultivation became lively." Wen Jue sat beside him and said, "Now everyone is discussing the ownership of the Sword Sect. The Sword Sect is also in chaos. After all, the two demons are related to the Sword Sect."
"Where is the Demon Sect?"
"Of course it was disbanded. But Lu Qi seemed to have been captured by Lu Er, so the task of disbanding the Demon Sect fell on Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao has already taken Jiang Huan back."
"Will it be troublesome?"
Wen Jue shook his head, "It shouldn't be. The Demon Sect already has its own factions. The reason why Lu Qi and Lu Xiao have been able to suppress them is because of their strength and coercion. If Lu Xiao proposes to disband the Demon Sect now, I guess no one will object. However, when one Demon Sect disappears, there will always be a new one. If Lu Xiao doesn't become the Sect Master, someone else will take over. It all depends on whether there is someone who will take the lead."
But according to Wen Jue's judgment, once Lu Xiao and his son let go of each other, the Demon Sect will surely be divided internally. It is unknown whether a new Demon Sect will emerge or split into other small sects.
"I was too casual. I didn't think too much about it," said Qin Zhou.
"We don't need to maintain the Secret Realm of Jiecheng anymore, and the existence of the Demon Sect is no longer necessary. Let's just disband it." Wen Jue sneered, "If Lu Qi continues to be the Supreme Sect Master of the Demon Sect, I'm afraid he will really fall into the devil's way one day."
"If Lu Er is here, it shouldn't happen."
"Has your visit to the Sword Sect met your expectations?"
“It’s been a great harvest.”
"I'm talking about me." Wen Jue asked.
Qin Zhou paused as he was writing and looked up. "What expectations?"
"Is the Lu Yi described in the ancient books of the Sword Sect what you expect me to be like?"
Qin Zhou: “I guess so.”
"That's such a pity. Now there's no Lu Yi, only Wen Jue." Wen Jue snorted and leaned his head closer to look at the painting in his hand.
The fact that Wen Jue could say this so calmly showed that he had already gotten over this hurdle in his heart. Qin Zhou felt relieved and said, "It's not a pity."
"I am a devil. Even if I wash away the stigma, I am still a person who kills without blinking an eye and does whatever I want." Wen Jue said.
"No problem."
"Why is it okay?" Wen Jue raised his eyebrows. He always wanted to confirm over and over again that he was still the first in Qin Zhou's heart. Even if he became a demon, he wanted to be the first without hesitation.
"Lu Er is in charge of Lu Qi, and I am in charge of you too. With someone in charge, what kind of disaster can happen?"
When Wen Jue heard this, he felt sweet inside, "Lu Er can beat Lu Qi, but you can't beat me."
Qin Zhou said calmly: "Then develop a new drug that will make you listen to me. If I ask you to take off your clothes, you will take them off."
Wen Jue's expression turned strange, "...You are quite scary sometimes."
Qin Zhou smiled but said nothing.
Wen Jue sat down beside him. Under his feet was a bottomless cliff, but it was not scary because of the clouds and mist. Looking out, there were distant mountains and the sunset. The extremely beautiful scenery made people linger.
The wind brought a hint of warmth, making people drowsy.
Although it seems that the times are peaceful now, both Wen Jue and Qin Zhou know that this is just the calm before the storm, and there are still many things they need to deal with.
"Lu Wu's letter arrived at the Sword Sect yesterday. The Soul-Growing Pill has been refined. Do you want to go back and take a look?"
Qin Zhou shook his head, "That's fine."
"Do you know why Fourteen's soul was damaged?" Wen Jue shook his legs.
"The Thousand Machine Stone damaged his soul."
"Yes. But aren't you curious about what he predicted that made him almost die?" Wen Jue tilted his head. Lu Wu damaged the protective furnace, and Lu Er damaged the sword heart. He solved all of them personally.
Qin Zhou didn't say anything, just listened with his ears perked up.
"After the battle of Tongtian, Fourteen wanted to calculate everyone's future and avoid the death of other brothers of the Lu family as much as possible. To this end, he even begged the Third Brother to merge the Thousand Machine Bell and the Thousand Machine Stone, and at the cost of his own soul, he could predict the future."
"But I didn't expect that the calculated result would be beyond my imagination."
Wen Jue still remembered the moment when Fourteen spat out a mouthful of blood, grabbed his sleeve with a pale face and told him about the future -
"All the Lu brothers died in the battle. The heavens... have no future."
The secret of heaven cannot be revealed.
Fourteen saw the future, but he relayed all of it to Wen Jue. This is why his soul was severely damaged. If he was not the All-Spirit Holy Body, he would have died long ago.
“Countless portals will appear in the sky, and those cultivators from various other worlds will arrive in the heavens to carry out inhumane plunder.”
"Everyone will die, including me. And after we die, this place will become a wasteland, with no life left."
And Wen Jue couldn't help but believe in this future.
Because they had seen the portal before. When the first portal came, more than 30 people from the Lu family died.
"No one knows when the next portal will come. And we have no idea what kind of powerful people will be in the new portal. I have been practicing hard, but it seems that I have reached the upper limit of the Tribulation Period." Wen Jue said, "I often have a feeling that the heavens seem to be broken."
They did not dare to stop their efforts for a moment, but they struggled hard, but they sank deeper and deeper, until the water finally flooded over their heads and they suffocated to death.
"Qin Zhou, do we have any other solution?"
"have."
Wen Jue looked at him.
"Let's go to Tongtian Battlefield." Qin Zhou held his hand, "The two of us will go first."
Spiritual energy cannot be regenerated, the light of merit cannot be manifested, the Heavenly Dao can only barely continue the vitality of this world through cooperation with Lu Yi, aliens invade the heavens through the portal, and Fourteen's prophecy. All these things made Qin Zhou have a vague guess in his heart.
He had to go and see for himself.
Wen Jue didn't understand his intention, but agreed anyway.
…
When the small mountain village reached level 4, the Tongtian Secret Realm was opened.
At that time, Tiandao also notified the whole world.
The Tongtian Secret Realm is located where people from the upper realm can see it, and the golden light column has never disappeared since that day.
This entrance was therefore busy for a long time.
But over time, after no one was able to pass through this portal, the monks gradually gave up and no longer stayed at the portal to the Tongtian Secret Realm. Instead, they searched everywhere for clues that could lead to entering the Tongtian Secret Realm - the existence of the Lord of the Heavens.
So when Qin Zhou and Wen Jue arrived at the portal, there was no one around.
The portal to Tongtian Secret Realm is no different from an ordinary portal.
Wen Jue looked at the entrance of the passage, a trace of sadness flashed across his brows.
It was because of this 'identical' portal that more than thirty brothers and sisters died.
Qin Zhou shook his hand and said, "This is the portal to Tongtian Secret Realm."
It's not the 'invasion' channel of those aliens.
Hearing Qin Zhou's words, Wen Jue's eyes softened, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. But why are we here?"
"Come and see if the world is really broken."
Although he didn't understand what Qin Zhou meant, Wen Jue didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "There is a barrier on this portal. I'm afraid I can't open it."
His spiritual energy poured in, but was quickly absorbed.
"This barrier seems to have the power of the laws of heaven and earth. If we use brute force to destroy it, I'm afraid it will damage the portal itself."
"It's okay." He can drive.
Qin Zhou's hand just touched the portal.
The golden writing popped out in front of him.
[Do you want to enter the Tongtian Arena? (The number of villagers you are carrying is currently 1)]
【yes】
Only he could see the golden words.
But at this moment Qin Zhou didn't think much about it and chose to enter directly.
A vortex suddenly appeared at the portal and directly sucked Qin Zhou and Wen Jue in.
…
[It is detected that the World Tree has died, and the Tongtian battlefield matching function cannot be activated temporarily]
After a dizzy spell, Qin Zhou received this prompt.
Immediately afterwards, Wen Jue tugged at his sleeve.
"Qin Zhou, that is..."
"World Tree." Following the sound, Qin Zhou recognized what it was at a glance.
The gigantic world tree that once lingered in the Tongtian Secret Realm has withered. There is not a single bit of green in sight, only rotten, withered branches left.
Wen Jue has also been to Tongtian Secret Realm many times, and he can almost draw the scenes here.
When the World Tree was the largest, its canopy blocked out the sun and was full of green. The spiritual energy almost completely enveloped the space, giving people a feeling of being in a sea of spiritual energy.
At that time, they were only a few hundred years old, and it was the first time that Qin Zhou brought them to this Tongtian Secret Realm. It was also that time that they won a great victory, and Qin Zhou also got the Milky Way in this secret realm.
Qin Zhou never told them what it was.
The young and ignorant Lu Yi did not ask, but just remembered the appearance of the huge tree.
Every time they entered Tongtian Secret Realm afterwards, they could see the tree and regarded it as the symbol of Tongtian Secret Realm.
The last time Wen Jue entered the Tongtian Secret Realm was shortly after Qin Zhou disappeared.
At that time, the tree's crown was a little smaller, but it was not completely dry like it is now.
Qin Zhou revealed the meaning of the "World Tree" in one sentence, which made Wen Jue slightly stunned.
"Is this the reason why the spiritual energy in the heavens is scarce?" Wen Jue looked at the crumbling dead tree. The branches had not collapsed yet, but the inside had long been rotten. The reason why it could still stand was because its former branches were still intertwined in the ground, maintaining its final dignity.
Is this tree the incarnation of the heavens?
"That should be it."
Wen Jue lowered his eyes.
So, their efforts over the years have only prevented the tree from completely collapsing.
What Qin Zhou took him to see was the whole picture of the world.
Qin Zhou's expression was more solemn than Wen Jue's.
The World Tree is the origin of the world. Things are more serious than he imagined, and it is more difficult to solve.
"To refine the Reshaping Pill, you also need the fruit of the World Tree."
The World Tree withered, and the Heavens could no longer survive, not to mention the World Fruit. It seemed that the villagers would be resurrected indefinitely, and before that, the spiritual energy of the Heavens could only last for another thousand years at most.
The situation couldn't possibly be worse than it is now.
Just as Qin Zhou finished his thought, he noticed that Wen Jue's brows were furrowed into a small frown.
"It can't get any worse than this. There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain." He couldn't help but comfort her.
Seeing him smile, Wen Jue felt more relaxed. "Then what can we do?"
"Ask the heavens?"
[Replant a World Tree]
Wen Jue stopped smiling and said, "It's useless to ask." This doesn't sound like something an ordinary person can do.
Qin Zhou thought seriously: "Planting a new tree is indeed a solution." Compared to how to repair a withered world tree, Qin Zhou felt that replanting might be faster and more effective.
Wen Jue: “…Oh, that kind.”
【？ 】
"How to plant?" Wen Jue asked Qin Zhou.
Qin Zhou: "The core of the World Fruit is the seed of the World Tree. We have to find a World Fruit first."
The world fruit...it's impossible to get it from this tree.
It's so dry now, we can't expect it to bear fruit.
Wen Jue suddenly had an idea: "Does the fruit in this world have to be from this tree?"
"As for other worlds..." Qin Zhou and Wen Jue looked at each other.
An answer emerged in everyone's mind.
Lingshan Realm.
"Tian Dao, is there a world tree in Lingshan Realm?" Wen Jue asked.
[Each world has its own world tree]
[The conditions for obtaining the World Fruit are very harsh, but this is indeed the only way to save the heavens]
The fruit of the World Tree is needed to reshape the bodies of the villagers, and if you want to save the heavens, you need to plant a new World Tree.
Qin Zhou: "It seems we have no choice."
Wen Jue: “It seems so.”
But rather than waiting for it to completely collapse, they still hope to survive from the brink of death.
