Chapter 477 Zhang Wen and the Ancient Tree of Faith

From a person, to a ball.

This experience was not good for Zhang Wen, but it was certainly not bad either. At least he survived the mouth of that strange tree.

Staying alive, keeping your life, that's enough.

With this thought in mind, Zhang Wen lay in this strange forest for another day before he finally grew flesh and blood and recovered a little bit of mobility.

"This damn ghost forest!"

It was not known whether the spiritual power stored in his Dao was used up, or whether Huanyu was too far away from Tianxuan Realm, but when Zhang Wen's body recovered to about 70%, he encountered a reality that he did not want to face.

His Nirvana reserve is exhausted !

Looking at the arm that had not recovered quickly for half a day, looking at the thigh that had grown skin but not epidermis, looking at the fact that there was almost no intact part on his body, Zhang Wen swore that this was the first time he heard of a Nirvana-level cultivator who was unable to recover his body!

"Very good, very good. So, I am not even in the Nirvana realm right now. If I were to take into account all these injuries, I would probably have to flee if I encountered a monster in the True Self realm."

Zhang Wen was so cold and trembling that he could hardly speak.

Is there any Nirvana cultivator who is more miserable than him? His natal flying sword and storage magic tools were lost in the space crack, and he was swallowed by the monster as soon as he came out. He finally blew up his trump card, the "Fenghuo Liancheng Pearl", which can be used until the longevity realm, to escape, but after escaping, he found that he had even "lost" the Nirvana realm!

You know, before coming to this Huanyu World, he, Zhang Wen, was the strongest person in the Southern Alliance who had the greatest hope of attaining the pinnacle! And he had risen from the poor all the way, working hard in the wild to become a generation of genius who had reached the ninth level of Nirvana! It was no exaggeration.

Sometimes Zhang Wen even felt that if Chen Zhixing had not been born into a noble family, if the two sides had swapped their identities and replaced that Star Lord with his family background, perhaps that Star Lord would not be as good as he is now!

Um.

Although this is something that cannot be proved, if he asks Chen Zhixing, the answer given by Chen Zhixing may allow him to get what he wants.

indeed.

If he had not been born into a noble family and did not have any external cheats, it would have been almost impossible for Chen Zhixing to go from being a poor peasant to reaching the ninth level of Nirvana in less than a hundred years.

But Zhang Wen did it.

If we must use an adjective to describe Zhang Wen, probably only the word "excellent" can describe him.

The ultimate excellence has made Zhang Wen what he is today.

However, even with such talent, when faced with a cross-border task that was just a trivial matter in Chen Zhixing's eyes, the situation he encountered made Zhang Wen feel that life was worse than death.

yes.

If Chen Zhixing were thrown into Zhang Wen's situation, it would be unlikely for him to reach Zhang Wen's level. But what Zhang Wen didn't understand was that if Chen Zhixing didn't have his background, he would never have fallen into such a dangerous situation.

Zhang Wen didn't understand this.

In other words, Zhang Wen was unwilling and unable to understand.

Zhang Wen, who came from a truly poor peasant family, might have read the sayings "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall" and "A beautiful jade does not break" and "By the well", but as he had not received sufficient education from his elders since childhood, he had no way to understand the meaning of these two sentences.

Moreover, even if you tell him these words, Zhang Wen won't care.

In Zhang Wen's eyes, it doesn't matter if he knows everything.

In order to have a viable path to immortality, he must take this trip around the world! Without this trip, how can he obtain the way of the Star Lord?

If he hadn't been protected by that Star Lord, with his background and heritage, how could he have cultivated to the realm of immortality in the environment of the Tianxuan Realm where many Dao Lords siphon everything? He felt that he had no choice.

So what if he was gifted, daring to fight, smart and prudent? The three holy places never gave Zhang Wen any chance to join them!

If there was any holy land that promised Zhang Wen a chance to attain enlightenment in the most reluctantly fair way, even if it was an immortality fruit offered by the noble families, Zhang Wen would accept it.

But he didn't have such an opportunity.

He never got it.

So, he had to come with Huanyu, and finally ended up with the current situation.

Walking in the dark and desolate woods.

Looking up, I couldn't see the sunlight. There was only a little light from a very distant place shining through the gaps between the hundreds of inverted mountains above my head.

"This is just a mere universe, a part of my life. When I succeed in attaining enlightenment someday, I will look back on my current situation and perhaps even smile, regarding it as a unique experience."

Dragging his seriously injured body forward, Zhang Wen now had already thought about evacuating the Universal World.

The blood in the body is constantly being lost.

He was seriously ill and needed urgent treatment.

Now he can only use his strong will to constantly comfort himself, because he knows that if he cannot return to Tianxuan before the next coma, he may never wake up again.

'Where is the space rift we came from?'

'Damn it, how far did that flesh and blood tree take me? And how far was it from that crack?'

"The last time I felt this kind of pain was twelve years ago. I remember that time I was watching the duel between the still weak Xing Zun and Li Changshou in Sizhou, and ended up being injured by the Chen family ancestor who was protecting him."

'How long can I hold on?'

The physical body of the Nirvana realm is not omnipotent.

Especially when he had no energy reserves, was seriously injured and unable to absorb energy from the outside world, this Nirvana-level physique was the last straw that broke Zhang Wen's back.

Nirvana's physical strength is tyrannical, but on the other hand, the energy it consumes is also extremely astonishing.

Normally, when there is enough reserve and energy can be absorbed from the outside world, this defect will not be prominent at all. However, for Zhang Wen at this moment, every movement he makes is consuming the energy of this body. In the end, his body even begins to decompose his exposed muscles to maintain energy for survival.

finally.

After shaking for a while, Zhang Wen, who didn't know how far he had walked, fell to the ground.

Staring blankly at the dark sky above my head.

The pupil gradually loses focus.

Before he fell into a coma, the last thought that came to Zhang Wen's mind was, "A great cultivator like me actually died in such a remote place for such an inexplicable reason. I don't know if there will be cultivators from the Tianxuan Realm who can find my remains and take me back to my hometown after I die."

What Zhang Wen didn't know was.

During the period before he fell into a coma, when his body was overdrawn to the limit and he had no time to take care of himself, there were actually two "tails", one big and one small, hanging behind him.

And at this time, he finally fainted.

The two 'little tails' that had been bullying him finally couldn't resist their curiosity and came closer with caution and excitement.

"Lavanigua?"

"Hasama Li ah do wah mea!"

"Hey!"

"Woo-la-la-la, hey-hoo hey-hoo."

The two natives of the Universal World, one big and one small, looked like black mud spirits, but they did have human outlines. After some communication and quarreling, the big one carried Zhang Wen on his back, and then, with the support of the small one, they slowly walked towards their "home".

I don’t know if they were planning to take Zhang Wen home and eat him.

When Zhang Wen opened his eyes again, he was a little surprised.

Given his situation before he fainted, Zhang Wen felt that he was doomed to die.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Unexpectedly, he could still survive?

But, where is this place?

Pitch black.

Gloomy and cold.

damp.

Blocked.

He seemed to be buried in a hole? Wait, was he buried, or was this the afterlife of the Universal World? Is this what he is like now?

Well, after some thought, Zhang Wen still felt that the idea of ​​"already dead" was more reliable, because he found that he was "no longer in pain", or in other words, he could no longer sense his body in the Nirvana state, could not feel his breathing, could not hear any sound, and even his vision could not move. The only of the five senses that he still retained was the darkness in front of his eyes.

"Am I really dead?"

"No, you are not dead, outsider. I have to say that you are very lucky. When you were about to die, you met my people. They brought you back."

'Who is speaking?'

"It's me. Using your human race's terminology, I should be a tree that has become a spirit, and I've received sacrifices from a race, and I've gained a tree demon with a strong faith."

"Tree demon? A native of the Universal World?!"

"That's right."

"Then I am not inside your body now, am I?"

"You are indeed in my body, please don't get excited. Your body is already badly injured. The tribesmen put you in my body in the hope that they could use my tree sap to nourish your body, but... although I don't want to admit it, as an outsider, your life level should be higher than mine. Now, just to keep your body from deteriorating further, I have already spent nearly 30% of my energy. If you cause physical damage due to emotional excitement again, I think I will stop treating you."

From the conversation, it can be heard that this tree demon in the universal world is different from the one Zhang Wen encountered before.

The previous one just wanted to eat Zhang Wen, but this one is actually saving him!

As for why Zhang Wen couldn't sense his own body at this time.

At this time, Zhang Wen was actually soaked in the energy juice stored in the tree trunk. While these juices helped Zhang Wen alleviate his injuries, they were also "paralyzing" and "suppressing" Zhang Wen's body in another way.

In other words, he was soaked in anesthetics at this moment, and it would be strange if he could move.

'Are you sure you don't want to eat me?'

"I don't like eating living things. If I could choose, I prefer the nutrients from the soil and the energy from the stars that occasionally flows in from the sky created by the ancient gods. Please don't think that I am deceiving you, because according to your human cognition, you are actually eating me now, although I am doing it voluntarily."

'You mean the part of the sap you used to repair my body?'

"Yes, this is my energy reserve. I should have used it to grow my roots, making them stronger so that I can absorb more nutrients. But now I am using it to treat you. This is hindering my growth. If I continue like this, I may be completely eaten by you before you can fully recover."

"Well, I don't know if what you said is true, but I'm sorry, you don't need to help me like this."

"Why? Don't you want to live?"

'No, I really want to, but I am Zhang Wen. If the continuation of my life is in exchange for the death of the life that helped me, then for me, it is better to die than to live like this.'

"It's hard for me to understand your thoughts, but don't worry, as long as you stop moving, with the energy supply from my people, I can probably continue to repair you for a long time. Well, at least before the next severe winter comes, your body will recover to a relatively healthy state. By then, I will give up treating you and drive you out of my body."

"You sound strange. Hmm, with the level of health you mentioned, will it cause you much harm?"

"Yes, but I am doing this voluntarily. After all, you are the first life form from outside the universe that my tribe has seen. If possible, my tribe and I are willing to pay a certain price in exchange for your right to live."

'Thank you very much, but please rest assured that I will repay you in the future and will not let your efforts go to waste.'

"I trust you."

"Oh, by the way, how did you communicate with me? Was it through consciousness, or did you read my memory before and learn the language of the Tianxuan Realm from me?"

"You guessed wrong."

'What?'

"In fact, I don't know the specific meaning of the words emitted by your will. I just observe the will fluctuations emitted by you through my spiritual perception, and then communicate with you in my own way. In fact, for me, there is no such thing as language. As a tree of faith, the way I communicate with life forms is to guess and interpret the will fluctuations emitted by life forms, and then respond with similar fluctuations."

'.I don't quite understand what you said, but I think you are very good.'

"You don't need to understand. After all, our life forms are different. Although your life level should be higher than mine, in my opinion, your life level is incomplete. It's like a life level that evolved later in life. And this level is very incomplete. It's so incomplete that in my eyes, you are not a complete life form, but a part of a higher life form that is used for eating, just like the roots I use to absorb nutrients."

Zhang Wen: “.”

silence.

There was a long silence.

For some reason, this being who claimed to be the Tree of Faith had clearly never come into contact with the Tianxuan Realm, but Zhang Wen felt that what the other party said made sense. It was almost as if he had used a very simple sentence to describe the way of cultivation in the Tianxuan Realm!
